So many 59p tracks this week!

Posted by: Cameron 17th August 2017, 11:13 PM

Aly and aj for top 200

Posted by: White Mustang 17th August 2017, 11:15 PM

Yesss Little Mix on the front of Hot Songs. The last two singles never achieved this.

Posted by: Ryan. 17th August 2017, 11:15 PM

Hot Songs column one seems to be:

New Rules
Friends
Reggaeton Lento
Feel It Still

Both Demi tracks added back into the 59p songs promo section towards the top

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 17th August 2017, 11:16 PM

New Miley to knock 'Feel It Still' out of Hot Songs plz.

Posted by: SevenSees 17th August 2017, 11:22 PM

Erm no we need great music like Feel It Still in the charts!

the thought of a vaguely alternative song making the top 40 nowadays *.*!!

So apparently Friends is Bloodpop's first official single, rather than the lead from Justin's next project.

Obviously they have Justin listed first on Spotify etc to bring it more attention but checking other streaming services like Amazon's then it isn't under Justin's profile, only Bloodpop and he is the lead artist there. It's not on Justin's Vevo either just Bloodpop's.

83. CNCO & Little Mix - Reggaetón Lento (Remix)

Posted by: Jonjo 17th August 2017, 11:46 PM

Ooft

Nice debut!

Posted by: Dexton 17th August 2017, 11:53 PM

Great news for every single one of those songs on 59p, not a bad one in the bunch. James Hype is currently #4 on iTunes but with 59p could it contend for iTunes #1 soon? Hopefully it can climb fast on Spotify too and perhaps pull a New Rules in a few weeks and shoot to #1 officially.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th August 2017, 11:56 PM

I'm not sure but it could genuinely be a joint single? It might end up as part of BloodPop's project as well as Justin's next album!

Posted by: Shaphne 17th August 2017, 11:59 PM

Shania Twain for #1 with Swingin' With My Eyes Closed. She's managed to deliver country, rock and reggae in one track and snatch all the leaves.
Classic Shania with a modern twist.

Posted by: Dexton 18th August 2017, 12:00 AM

Similar to how It Ain't Me is part of Kygo's album campaign but is also on the Deluxe Edition of Selena's album.

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th August 2017, 12:01 AM

Well, let's keep in mind that Selena tracklist isn't confirmed yet but yeah that kinda thing! The example I had in mind was MNEK & Zara's Never Forget You - it was a single just as much for MNEK as it was for Zara.

Little Mix at #41

They came to slay.

Posted by: digitalking 18th August 2017, 12:27 AM

come on Little Mix!

Posted by: Liаm 18th August 2017, 12:31 AM

Omg why is Alicia Keys page 3 of hot songs with Fallin' lmao, what a song tho *.*

Yeah it was 59p last week!

Posted by: Capybréra 18th August 2017, 12:35 AM

I have just discovered that BloodPop® is the same person as Blood Diamonds from classique BJSC entry 'Phone Sex' I'm not sure how it totally passed me by at the time that 'Sorry' was produced by him! (Then again I also didn't know it was co-produced by Skrillex either)

Just had a first listen to 'Friends' and it is pretty good! Not super keen on the drop but I like the verses, and it does have a cool dark vibe to it ~

Posted by: Ryan. 18th August 2017, 12:36 AM

She's in the latest episode of Apple Music's Carpool Karaoke series I think!

Shocked that Friends hasn't rocketed to #1!

Posted by: thecarterfilez 18th August 2017, 03:40 AM

Younger Now by Miley Cyrus is soooo good, im really happy she is staying away from generic songs, I'm loving the unique sound she is coming with this era !!

Posted by: Bjork 18th August 2017, 05:40 AM

Really shocking
Im not one of the nuts that thought bieber would do 50k and beat Dua
But straight at @1 and 8-10k sales doing double than Pink seemed feasible and realistic
He only got to 0.5 yesterday which is like 2,000 sales which is very very shocking to me

Posted by: BridgeCow 18th August 2017, 05:56 AM

Feels so weird to say Justin is underperforming when he's already at 3, but he kinda is

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 06:05 AM

Friends isn't doing amazing in the US either. He's #1 but sales are low over there too yet he's only pushed #2 down to 70% when I expected him to push it down much further.

Posted by: iain 18th August 2017, 06:07 AM

He's crushing the competition in the US, it's odd that the response here is more muted.

Posted by: Dircadirca 18th August 2017, 06:08 AM

It seems like every time an artist releases a reverb heavy synth pop track (like Style, Cheyenne etc), it gets a lot of positive critical reception but the public just don't take to it as strongly as expected.

Posted by: steveh31 18th August 2017, 06:21 AM

Crushing? 0.6918 over the number 2 isn't really crushing,crushing would be 0.10 -0.20 and he isn't number 1 in Ireland, Australia or New Zealand either, though in most of mainland Europe it seems to have had an instant impact.

Maybe we are seeing a change in musical taste and Bieber's followers are growing up and the new music virgins have there own style of music.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 18th August 2017, 06:24 AM

No WAY are they back o

Is new Miley better than Malipoo??

Yasss his pop bubble has burst.

Pop brat Justin Bibber turning ALLL the sheeple haters treating like a joke to being huge fans was the biggest joke in pop history and shows humans are a herd animal.

Glad that's over.

Posted by: White Mustang 18th August 2017, 06:35 AM

Younger Now is brilliant. I hope it doesn't bomb.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 18th August 2017, 06:43 AM

Lets hope little mix can really climb and get into the top 10.

Posted by: mdh 18th August 2017, 06:47 AM

I don't see it being that big on streaming either, tbh. I suspect it'll sustain ~400k for a few weeks simply 'cause it's Justin, but I can't see it being a long runner at all.

But actually does itunes matter anymore?
The key thing is how justin does on Spotify

Posted by: mdh 18th August 2017, 07:02 AM

Yeah, course it matters It's the difference between P!nk debuting at #54 and #4 so I'd say it matters a fair bit

Posted by: Bjork 18th August 2017, 07:09 AM

matters but to get a #1 overall, iTunes is not enough, I think Spotify matters much more nowadays

CNCO could leap frog Justin to no 1.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 18th August 2017, 09:38 AM

What happened to MNEK anyway?

Posted by: iain 18th August 2017, 10:09 AM

CNCO no 3 now.

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 10:11 AM

It seems barely anyone actually cared about him as a solo artist, as his only hits were collaborations ('Ready For Your Love', 'Never Forget You').

The follow-up 'At Night (I Think About You)' deserved a lot better than it got, but the two songs he released after that were both bad ('Don't Stop Me Now', yes the Queen song, and most recently 'Paradise').

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 10:26 AM

Yeah solo wise it's not kicking off but I think he produces and writes a huge amount for other artists

Posted by: jazzy_765 18th August 2017, 10:44 AM

Justin Bieber close to number 1 now ...... I actually LOVE the song and I hate Bieber haha

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 10:46 AM

Oh I had no idea. My mistake - I guess he is talented then.

Oh my GOD at that trash reggaeton song getting so high. Sheeplr! They never cared abou foreign music before!!!

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 18th August 2017, 11:01 AM

At Night is one of my favourite songs of 2016 for sure. Such a shame how it fared on the charts

Posted by: jazzy_765 18th August 2017, 11:12 AM

Even if they did I can't see them beating him on streaming..... I'm sure he'll debut higher

Posted by: dennispennis123 18th August 2017, 11:18 AM

Does this Little Mix track have a verse purely of Jesy talking in her Jamaican accent?

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 11:23 AM

Oh wow at Little Mix. Should overtake Justin

Posted by: Mart!n 18th August 2017, 11:29 AM

Just heard the new track from CNCO & Little Mix for the first time, its not really my thing, I just wish we can get over the Spanish theme and move on. This will be the 4th Spanish track in the chart by next week Descapito, Mi Gentie, Subreme...

And at Bros never thought I see them back in the charts.

Posted by: dennispennis123 18th August 2017, 11:31 AM

Mi Gente will be bigger than Little Mix's track in the long-term.

Posted by: rafik4u 18th August 2017, 11:35 AM

Gosh, as a Spanish teacher that definitely hurt my eyes.

It is Despacito, Mi Gente and Subeme La Radio.

I hope the 'Spanish theme' remains in the charts for good somehow and the UK starts to be open for more varied music styles from now on.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 11:43 AM

01. Little Mix & CNCO - Reggaetón Lento

Posted by: André 18th August 2017, 11:45 AM

Dude, try not to refer to Latino music as "Spanish theme". That's dumb.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 11:55 AM

Another sh!t Spannish song whoop

Posted by: blacksquare 18th August 2017, 11:56 AM

Four songs on a chart of how many songs?

How ignorant. It's about time the UK charts were open to more languages like the rest of Europe.

Posted by: rafik4u 18th August 2017, 11:58 AM

Very well said mate.

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 11:58 AM

I do think it's only a matter of time before the general public (in the UK at least) get sick of the over saturation of latin/reggaeton songs in the chart, I can't see it being a trend that lasts more than a year.

Posted by: shindymindy 18th August 2017, 11:58 AM

Most of it is actually sung in English and what's your point?

Posted by: ⓐⓦⓐⓡ^ 18th August 2017, 11:59 AM

332. Sigrid – Plot Twist

Sigrid seems destined to be a flopstar the way her first two singles have underperformed despite Radio 1 support.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 12:05 PM

She's doing just fine. Don't Kill My Vibe spent almost two months in the top 100 and went top 40 on iTunes.

This is her debut. She's young and has so much potential. She will probably have a big collaboration lined up (The Chainsmokers are very eager to work with her) and blow up from there!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 12:08 PM

Well what do you think my point was? isn't difficult to work out given the flood of bandwagon jumping due to 1 Spannish hit

Posted by: 777666jason 18th August 2017, 12:12 PM

Gwon little mix another get another top 10

Posted by: shindymindy 18th August 2017, 12:13 PM

There's only 1 n in Spanish.

Posted by: André 18th August 2017, 12:13 PM

Spanish, not "Spannish". I guess being somewhat exposed to another culture is very bewildering to some which is not surprising considering they're not even capable of getting the spelling of the language right.

Posted by: liamk97 18th August 2017, 12:16 PM

Erm, can we keep it civil please? If people don't like Spanish/Latin songs, that's fine. There's no deeper agenda or anything. No need to get personal or act so offended.

Posted by: PeaceMob 18th August 2017, 12:20 PM

I really love that new Miley Cyrus song "Younger Now", best song she's ever made. She's becoming a more mature artist now.

Posted by: André 18th August 2017, 12:20 PM

I think that is a weird statement to make. Like, I can definitely understand people not liking reggaeton because that is a specific genre (and even so, ignorance can easily be noticed depending on the way people acknowledge the genre. "Spanish theme" is a cabal example of ignorance btw). But not liking Spanish/Latin music in general? Lol yea, there's definitely a "deeper agenda" in disliking music because of the language or the region it originated from.

I know obviously 90% of people sick of reggaeton songs are not being malicious or knowingly prejudiced and it is normal to dislike reggaeton -- in Latin America and Spain, it is not uncommon to see people hating those genres, just like you see people in the UK who hate top 40 pop. But personally I see the UK being open to foreign music as a very positive thing. Of course, the language barrier is a good reason to be uninterested in something -- I am usually not interested in Dutch or German music for example, since I don't speak those languages -- but the Spanish language songs that are popular in the UK right now all have so much English in them and are all special remix made especially to the English-speaking market so it is very easy to understand their theme and what they're about.

I think it will be more and more common to see reggaeton songs being huge all over the world because Spanish language music is huge in streaming. Like, "Reggaeton Lento" has 1 billion views on YouTube, that's more than any One Direction video. However, the genre per se can be tiring -- especially in Latin America/Spain, where there is no variety right now on the charts and it is everything reggaeton all the time. However, that is obviously not the case in the UK though. In this case, reggaeton is actually increasing variety.

Posted by: Mart!n 18th August 2017, 12:20 PM

Sorry, I should have worded it better, what I was trying to say, what Dan just said in his previous post.

Posted by: Cremey 18th August 2017, 12:27 PM

It's stupid it's taken this long for Spanish songs to do well over here really, glad it looks like they're finally able to break through properly. So many huge songs that should've done so well over here but didn't ever do anything for some reason.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 18th August 2017, 12:28 PM

27. Miley Cyrus - Younger Now

Ouch.

Posted by: White Mustang 18th August 2017, 12:28 PM

Still #3 to me?

Posted by: dennispennis123 18th August 2017, 12:28 PM

Its not really ignorant, its simply saying that artists are now cynically rushing to release music that sounds like Despacito because that was so big.

Posted by: liamk97 18th August 2017, 12:30 PM

Perhaps people are misunderstanding how to identify the genre or music, but I think it's fair to assume that there's nothing more to people's comments than these songs simply not appealing to them. Their ignorance if that's what you want to refer to it as, however, does not give people the right to start getting personal. If you disagree, then educate and discuss.

Posted by: rafik4u 18th August 2017, 12:32 PM

I will never forget how mistreated Bailando was here...

Posted by: digitalking 18th August 2017, 12:35 PM

And?? What if they care now? What's wrong with Little Mix experimenting with a new sound and style? How could they ever care about foreign music if people would react the same way as you have? It's a great song btw.

Posted by: dennispennis123 18th August 2017, 12:36 PM

Someones been triggered.

Posted by: digitalking 18th August 2017, 12:40 PM

If you're talking about me I'm not don't worry I'm happy that the charts are becoming more open.

Posted by: André 18th August 2017, 12:41 PM

Everyone who is disagreeing is actually educating and discussing. No one complaining about the points being made is being gratuitous, we are all actually exposing our point of views. However, no one is forced to be cordial in the face of ignorance, sorry.


That is literally how top 40 pop works though. That is the whole point of those acts: to release music that is in synch with what is popular. I agree it can be annoying but it's hardly something that Little Mix started doing today.

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 12:42 PM

people will look back and think it was very odd that only made #75 here. If it was released post-Despacito it probably would've been a huge #1 hit like it was in most places in the world.

also, I know it's not Spanish, but 'Ai Se Eu Te Pego' which peaked really low here but was #1 all over Europe.

Posted by: Hadji 18th August 2017, 12:42 PM

I still see #3 and I hope it stays like that. Come on Justin

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 12:42 PM

Seriously there's no need to take such a moral high ground this thread has become ridiculous

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 18th August 2017, 12:43 PM

Absolutely.

Jumping on this bandwagon after showing no interest before is laughable thanks to one being a big hit.

On last kworb update we have

1. Pink 1.00
2. Bieber 0.99
3. Little Mix 0.96

Most exciting race to number 1 in months!

Posted by: André 18th August 2017, 12:50 PM

In their second album, Little Mix was all 90s R&B. Then, in their third, they were generic europop. In their last album, there was big EDM influence. Like, they are literally always hopping on trends and changing styles because as top 40 acts, that is literally their whole point. Why is there a fuss they are doing it with this current single??

Oh, and by the way, CNCO is a Simon Cowell/SYCO act. So I don't think the remix is for LM to get a hit solely but to introduce CNCO to the UK market.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 12:52 PM

Be interesting to see the the streaming figures and how the songs impact

Should Get a bit of a clear out of the top 10 next week

Posted by: iain 18th August 2017, 12:53 PM

Well done, hope he can hold on to it.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 18th August 2017, 12:59 PM

Little Mix will be #1 on iTunes shortly.

It's going to be a very exciting chart battle though! Could be the first time in years that we have two songs with spanish in the top ten.

Posted by: AcerBen 18th August 2017, 01:00 PM

Yes and I expect they had very little choice in the matter!

Posted by: Bjork 18th August 2017, 01:01 PM

was thinking that the UK/world love for Spanish music seems to go in 15 year-cycles
in the late 80s (87-88) we had La Bamba, Madonna singing in Spanish (La Isla Bonita, Who's That Girl), Gloria Estefan
then in the early 00s we have the big worldwide explosion of Latin music with Shakira, Enrique, JLo, Ricky Martin...
and now it seems to be happening again

Posted by: AcerBen 18th August 2017, 01:01 PM

you mean 3 or 4? We already have 2

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th August 2017, 01:06 PM

Okay about Reggaeton Lento & Subeme, but I don't get why some people are Dragging Mi Gente into this as well. Yes it's foreign language, but it's a completely different genre and has become a hit in its own right without any of this 'bandwagon' business

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th August 2017, 01:07 PM

Posted by: White Mustang 18th August 2017, 01:08 PM

Which version of iTunes are you seeing this?

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 01:08 PM

Could have 3 simultaneously in the top 10 with Despacito and Mi Gente as well as the Little Mix one - maybe 4 if Enrique can somehow stay top 10.

Yes, you don't have to convince me, I already know they're awful commercial pap puppets.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 18th August 2017, 01:30 PM

Wrong. No other language song broke into thr UK charts before Despacito. It is part and parcel of the bandwagon.

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th August 2017, 01:33 PM

Despacito might be the reason it's broken through in the first place, but I do think Mi Gente deserves a bit more credit - it doesn't have an English language version to boost it like Despacito, SÚBEME LA RADIO or Reggaetón Lento, it's just taken off in its original form because they've given it enough of a push!

Shocked CNCO & Little Mix are ahead of Justin & BloodPop, I guess it's simply overkill on Justin's part at this point after three big features already this year?

Posted by: omrimayo 18th August 2017, 01:33 PM

Really happy for little mix and I'm hoping they will sing it on the UK tour I'm going!

Posted by: gooddelta 18th August 2017, 01:34 PM

Mi Gente isn't part of the same bandwagon per se as it would have been a huge and completely unconnected global hit (probably everywhere but the UK) without Despacito ever happening, but certainly UK radio and consumers have probably been more likely to support/consume it thanks to Despacito opening the floodgates.

edit: what Joseph said...

I wouldn't say Get Weird was Europop at all

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 02:12 PM

can we take a minute to appreciate Majestic & Tigermonkey 'Naughty Sesh' going iTunes top 40 *__* Big hit please.

How are LM ahead of JB? Hope he's ahead of them on Spotify

Posted by: ML Hammer95 18th August 2017, 02:17 PM

Creeping In The Dark was a tune back in the day, wonder how this one sounds?!

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 02:27 PM

quite similar to 'You Want Me'.

Another Rugby League song released for the Challenge Cup Final.

Posted by: Karl. 18th August 2017, 02:38 PM

Little Mix are so powerful.

Posted by: Tombo 18th August 2017, 02:40 PM

Agreed!

I used to live in Spain and I've been supporting Spanish music for several years so it is great to see it finally becoming successful in the UK

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 18th August 2017, 02:44 PM

Was that not the Spice Girls rip off, with rnb and pure pop thanks to Taylor reviving pop music?

They've got the POWER!!!

Tigermonkey? They were behind that AMAZING ribena song weren't they?

Posted by: jazzy_765 18th August 2017, 02:49 PM

Definitely find Little Mix the worst of the Spanish songs in the charts at the mo :/..... much prefer despacito and subeme

Posted by: 777666jason 18th August 2017, 02:50 PM

Oh please if we gonna talk people ripping other people off we be here all day but get weird is not a spice girl rip off maybe the SLS video was shot similarly but other than that it isn't

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th August 2017, 02:59 PM

Can we hold back on the name calling please? Feel free to share your distaste of an artist but let's keep things mature!

Posted by: Hadji 18th August 2017, 03:01 PM

If Little Mix get #1 next week, I want Justin Bieber to get it the week after but I reckon LM will be sales #1 while JB is official #1

Posted by: rafik4u 18th August 2017, 03:02 PM

For me it would be

1. Reggaeton Lento
2. Despacito
3. Subeme La Radio
4. Mi Gente

Although I love all of them.

I would love to see some female regueatton/female latin tracks too a la Chantaje or Mayores becoming hits over here soon.

Posted by: Tombo 18th August 2017, 03:03 PM

The charts are really exciting, what a time to be alive!

Posted by: Bjork 18th August 2017, 03:13 PM

still Chantaje >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th August 2017, 03:19 PM

If it can keep this level of movement (not to mention variety) from now on I will be really happy!

I genuinely don't believe the level of stagnation we've had for about a year and a half is a healthy thing for the industry as a whole, at all.

Posted by: omrimayo 18th August 2017, 03:22 PM

10% lead for LM, nice. his streams will be much bigger so...

Posted by: White Mustang 18th August 2017, 03:27 PM

I don't think we can rule out Little Mix's streaming after today's iTunes result.

Posted by: rafik4u 18th August 2017, 03:39 PM

10. Enrique Iglesias - Subeme La Radio (Remix)

Back into the top 10 thanks to the 0.59p price.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 03:39 PM

Official chart predictions!

01 Justin Bieber
02 Little Mix
03 Dua Lipa
04 P!nk

Posted by: mdh 18th August 2017, 03:59 PM

I can't believe CNCO are at #1... thought it'd stall low top 10 at best! Do we reckon it'll do similarly to P!nk chartwise, or a bit better? I could feasibly see an all-new top 2 this week

-x-

18 Majestic & Tigermonkey - Naughty Sesh

What is this and how has it debuted top 20 on iTunes? If it continues to climb it could do alright in next weeks charts :')

Posted by: Hassaan 18th August 2017, 04:02 PM

Bruce Forsyth's albums to appear in the charts?

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 04:08 PM

I fully expected Little Mix & CNCO to do well purely because it's well... Little Mix.

Can see their lead single being huge, even bigger than Shout Out. Especially if it's performed on XF.

Posted by: Jack 18th August 2017, 04:09 PM

I think Little Mix need a break after this, they're at a risk of overexposure. I'd like a lead single maybe next Summer tbh, even waiting til next years Q4 could be good!

Posted by: UltraRedLight 18th August 2017, 04:11 PM

Taylor is (possibly) coming tonight!! (Something's happening but no ones sure what atm!). This chart battle if this happens *.*

Posted by: Hadji 18th August 2017, 04:12 PM

LM will be big on streaming but not bigger than Bieber

Posted by: Tombo 18th August 2017, 04:20 PM

No way, we need it this Autumn!

Posted by: BridgeCow 18th August 2017, 04:22 PM

What is this! ngl it's kind of a banger but how is it so high??!

Posted by: Jack 18th August 2017, 04:27 PM

Why?

Posted by: Envoirment 18th August 2017, 04:30 PM

Glad to see CNCO + Little Mix blocking Bieber. If Taylor is releasing something tonight then it'll be a very interesting chart battle this week!

Ngl I have absolutely no idea! Haven't heard it yet but it looks like the kind of thing I'd love. It's up to #13 now and not slowing down

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 04:46 PM

New Rules could still be #1 anyway!

Posted by: Tombo 18th August 2017, 04:50 PM

I love Little Mix and I would love some new music now that they are wrapping up Glory Days.

They had an amazing campaign and I'm ready for more!

They would slay with a killer new single this Autumn.

Posted by: 777666jason 18th August 2017, 04:52 PM

I heard that the LM next album was supposed be early next year

Posted by: Capybréra 18th August 2017, 04:57 PM

Have there been any hit singles before that were collaborations between a boyband and a girlgroup? I can't even think of any non-hits that fit that description

Amazed at CNCO/Little Mix being ahead of Bieber already, fair play to them. Need to check out this song.

Also need to hear this Majestic/Tigermonkey song but I am already so here for it being a hit if only for it being partly by the same artist who made 'Zooby Doo' *.*! I did love 'Creeping In The Dark' as well.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 05:00 PM

Oh wow, Taylor Swift is on GMA tomorrow which suggests that a single release is imminent.

Posted by: jase. 18th August 2017, 05:03 PM

Appreciating all of this new music! The charts have been so static over the summer

Posted by: 777666jason 18th August 2017, 05:07 PM

If true hopefully Taylor the Little mix collab stop Justin

Posted by: -SCOTT- 18th August 2017, 05:16 PM

The closest I can think of is Blue featuring L.A.D.E - Bubblin' which got to number 9 in 2004. L.A.D.E were a new girlband managed by Simon Webbe so naturally he got them to feature on the single mix of Bubblin'. I'm not sure if they were officially credited and they obviously didn't take off as they had hoped but they ARE on the song alongside Blue.

Posted by: blacksquare 18th August 2017, 05:18 PM

I don't think overexposure is as much of an issue as it was in the past.

Little Mix might as well keep up with their momentum and release if they have the material in the works. I do think it would be smarter to do a re-issue with a standalone single in November though.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th August 2017, 05:26 PM

I'm well miffed 'Instruction' has been knocked out of the top 10. Get back in there!

Posted by: ThePensmith 18th August 2017, 05:27 PM

I'm surprised really that The Saturdays and JLS didn't do something together even as a charity single back at the time both bands were popular. Would've been nice to see Marvin and Rochelle on the same record and Vanessa and Aston going hell for leather on falsetto/high notes.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 05:36 PM

Little Mix 1.0000
Justin Bieber 0.8722

Posted by: Shaphne 18th August 2017, 05:36 PM

Were JLS even a thing back when The Sats were still popular?

Posted by: T Boy 18th August 2017, 05:38 PM

Not sure if you're just taking the mick out of the Saturdays or not

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th August 2017, 05:39 PM

Just given Naughty Sesh a listen. Only in Britain would this be charting so high...

Posted by: -SCOTT- 18th August 2017, 05:39 PM

The Saturdays were popular 2008 until 2013. JLS were popular 2009 until 2012 so yes.

A Little Mix and One Direction in 2012/13 would have been interesting too.

Posted by: 777666jason 18th August 2017, 05:40 PM

TBH with little mix getting so many comparisons to 1D early on I half expect them to release together

Onfg that Miley Cyrus song is GREAT.

It is so WEIRD and adult contemporary and REAL and artistic that it deserves to do well. I doubt it will, but bravo Sounds like the type of left field pop Spices used to do!! Could eaasily have been a Spice single if Bran Starked back in time to them.

Cardi B is just outside the top 100, and debuted at #96 on the singles chart this week. If this manages to get traction it could easily go top 40 in the coming months, it's already top 10 in the states and predicted to be heading for the top 5 this week.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th August 2017, 07:57 PM

I get the impression Sigrid isn't really aiming for the mainstream per se in the same way Dua Lipa is/was.

Posted by: Lenny 18th August 2017, 07:58 PM

I can imagine Sigrid on a Clean Bandit single

Posted by: The Hit Parade 18th August 2017, 07:59 PM

The Supremes did two albums with the Temptations and three with the Four Tops and had multiple hits from them. If you count those as boy and girl groups, of course.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th August 2017, 08:14 PM

Sigrid is too small an artist for Clean Bandit to collaborate with I think. They depend on big/upcoming artists.

Posted by: jase. 18th August 2017, 08:24 PM

Isn't Sigrid an upcoming artist?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th August 2017, 08:30 PM

Seriously, logic goes out of the window completely with this one.

Good tune....mix of future garage in the verses and bassline in the drop.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 18th August 2017, 09:06 PM

Why has Naughty Sesh climbed up on iTunes so much? All I know is that Tigermonkey is responsible for the song behind that absolutely bonkers Ribena advert.

Posted by: Hiß 18th August 2017, 09:07 PM

I really like it, reminds me of the Audio Bullys especially the drop and its certainly very different and more ravey to most dance in the charts recently.

Posted by: danG 18th August 2017, 09:11 PM

Dapper Laughs (uncredited vocalist of the song) is responsible for 'Naughty Sesh' doing so well, he's promoting the hell out of it on Twitter.

Amazing that it's reached as high as #6 though, oh em actual gee *_*

Justin down to 0.7797

I can't lie, I am actually pretty shocked at that.

Kworb is so annoying with its colours lately. So many obvious dark red updates being registered as light red and dark green being registered as light green.

Posted by: steveh31 19th August 2017, 11:30 AM

At some point every artist/act starts to fall out of favour as people grow up and the next generation looks for its own style, spice girls, beatles, whoever no one can stay at the top forever.

Maybe Bieber has just over exposed his vocals and people are fed up now with him and his same style 2016 was his peak year now bring on the new, I can only hope it happens to Sean Paul as well.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 19th August 2017, 11:46 AM

Absolutely this.

If Screech is ooon 30k? and a second week and Justin Bibber pop brat can't overtake, then it shows his bubble is STARTING to burst. I prmised back when he released that dirge WDYM? that people would be embarrassed in some years to even admit they liked him again. I stand by that.

Posted by: Bjork 19th August 2017, 12:03 PM

Posted by: John-James 19th August 2017, 12:48 PM

I love how people are quick to judge when Justin only goes #1 for a short length of time but don't bat an eyelid at Miley struggling to enter the Top 20 after getting 2 #1's last era

Posted by: Liаm 19th August 2017, 01:02 PM

Tbf Miley was away for like 3 years rather than all of 5 minutes 3 years can be a long time in pop especially for a drastic style change. But I don't think Justin is overexposure to the point people arefed up as such, I think it's just that he's really never been gone between I'm The One, 2U and Despacito smashing so this doesn't have that omg justin comeback hype.People are clearly here for him or he wouldn't debut at 6 on Spotify and be top 3 on iTunes.

Posted by: 777666jason 19th August 2017, 01:42 PM

this Justin beiber has been on or had 9 top 5 singles in just over 2 years with 6 being numbers 1 and a combined more than half a year at the top

And your comparing that to someone who had 2 number 1s 3 years ago and only released a few songs since ( her dead pets project aside as that technically wasn't released commercially ) let
S be honest Wrecking ball only went to number 1 due to the video hype (shame as it really is a great song tarnished by the video) and We can't stop again after such a radical change. So really miley doing just fine if anything she doing similar to what she was before the rebelling period

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 19th August 2017, 01:44 PM

Miley music is completely different to Justins! Had miley came back with Wrecking ball sort of song it would have had much more success!

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 19th August 2017, 02:12 PM

Agreed.

Miley is not trend hopin nor releasing commercial music. She is more adult contemporary right now tbh. It is a different thing altogether.

Posted by: BigMixer 19th August 2017, 02:25 PM

Posted by: T Boy 19th August 2017, 02:33 PM

Many artists struggle after long breaks. Of my faves, Pink seems to be the only one capable of taking a break and coming back just as strong.

Speaking of which, really pleased Pink is holding up really well!

Posted by: Shaphne 19th August 2017, 02:38 PM

Shania Twain should be #1 with Swinging' With My Eyes Closed

Posted by: Liаm 19th August 2017, 02:48 PM

It's sad that more than 2 or 3 years away can bump off an artist, just look at Nelly Furtado who could've bee Rihanna level imo but she left it SIX years after Loose and it was just too long and all hype etc. had fizzled out Then again the album wasn't particularly that good so that didn't help.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 19th August 2017, 03:05 PM

Absolutely - it was both things!! She moved away from commercial music and left it for 6 years baking pies. She was WELL placed to be like Rohanna after Loose. However, her high pitched vocals would have worn on people faster.

Look at Screech - she sold like 26 000 last week - people moved on. Justin Bibber has the OPPOSITE problem - overexposure and the threat of reurning to joke status at any moment. Last year every 19/20 yr old I spoke to at work was like OMG BEIBER!! This year, they are embarrassed and nobody admits to liking him.

But that Shania Twain song is utter garbage - urgh.

Posted by: Hadji 19th August 2017, 03:20 PM

He got kept off #1 when he released at the same time as Adele and then he toppled her. If he can topple Adele, I'm sure he can topple Little Mix

Long breaks don't hinder Justin Timberlake or P!nk But I guess they're more of an exception than the rule as it does hinder about 95% of artists!

I'm really intrigued to see how Kelly Clarkson fares with her new album. She managed to make a genuine hit out of 'Heartbeat Song' and managed to get a decent selling album out of it too... plus the last thing she was in the public eye musically was for her 'Piece By Piece' performance.

She's always been, like P!nk but on a much smaller scale, one of the more credible pop females/people don't seem to have a bad word to say about her or her music.

Posted by: White Mustang 19th August 2017, 03:39 PM

Sorry was one of the first mainstream songs of the tropi-bop trends. On fact he kinda started. He's coming back 2 years later with a somewhat similar song, when he's been copied 100 times in the mean time. I don't think it's surprising he's not doing as well.

Posted by: Shaphne 19th August 2017, 03:39 PM

Kelly has always been pretty consistant with her eras like P!nk has. I can see a long running top 20 single and gold album for her.

Posted by: T Boy 19th August 2017, 03:49 PM

True Kelly has always been pretty much like Pink on a slightly smaller scale. I remember everyone going on when My December flopped but bar that she's always able to get hits (and Never Again was actually a hit).

It's not always the long breaks but drastic changes in sound can alienate fans. Nelly was a good example (just what was Big Hoops?) but Anastacia equally is one. I love Heavy Rotation to bits but it was 4 years after the previous album, it wasn't a patch of the previous one and she was going for anything but the sprock sound we all loved. She's recovered quality wise but not commercially and she never will.

Bieber is literally throwing out leftovers and getting nice hits many in the music industry would die for.

''Friends'' is meant to help BloodPop further his name and project. It's not launch of a new Bieber album.

Hopefully P!nk will get back to #1 on iTunes today. Not surprised to see Justin falling already. His streams should help him get a top 10 or top 5 debut though.

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th August 2017, 04:49 PM

Justin was always gonna get dark red updates at this point, even if he was selling triple what CNCO & Little Mix are selling - he's an artist with a huge fanbase and the fanbase effect wears off around this point for any artist. Little Mix will probably have a few dark red updates before the weekend's over too.

Long breaks have certainly hindered Pink as the streaming is now upon us, she is struggling to crack the top 50 on most countries streaming charts

Posted by: T Boy 19th August 2017, 06:15 PM

And yet she can still enter the top 5 officially with low steaming which not a lot of artists have managed. She hasn't been hindered that much all things considered.

Posted by: mdh 19th August 2017, 06:20 PM

Yeah, the people saying that P!nk has debuted poorly or with 'only 26k' (which is ridiculous... 26k is a lot in the current chart climate) need to realise it's still top 5, and after 4 years or so since her least proper album era finished it's amazing she's had such an instant smash.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 19th August 2017, 07:15 PM

Exactly - my point still stands. With fanbase acts like Screech, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry (lesser extent), they rely on pure sales. Pure sales are through the floor, but they haven't I dunno - modernised maybe? - or expanded ther fanbases, so they don't stream them and then they flop.

Posted by: mdh 19th August 2017, 07:23 PM

Ah right, but she's still doing better than most of the pop girls did on sales. Lady Gaga didn't last long at iTunes #2 and Katy Perry didn't do too well at all on release compared to Pink. I guess these days pop girls just don't do well all that much.

Pink has been successful for 17 years and continues to be. She's at a point in her career where it's only over when she says it is.

I'll be amazed if she's still doing well in a decade but by then she'll be pushing 50 and people won't be able to take the first 20 years of her career away from her no matter how much they irrationally hate her.

Posted by: White Mustang 19th August 2017, 09:27 PM

Katy Perry has sold almost 600k, if we're talking about Chained to the Rhythm? Yes, it's chart run looks a lot worse because of Ed.

Chained also made it to #1 on iTunes, but only after promo.

Posted by: Zeebre12 19th August 2017, 09:47 PM

Why are sales so bad now? Just because there is nothing much big out? And topping I tunes for a few days isnt much of an achievement nowadays is it especially older acts like Pink should be topping I tunes for a while as sales are so low? Like topping the CD singles chart 10+ years ago.

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th August 2017, 09:52 PM

P!nk is affected by the low sales just as much as everyone else, she'd still have been at #1 for so long if sales were at 2013 levels. Obviously sales are going down but I wouldn't say it's not much of an achievement, sales still contribute a fair bit to the chart and can make all the difference.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 19th August 2017, 09:54 PM

Absolutely, Zeebra!! And we'll find out why when Taylor releases - maybe they are low for no big releases, or maybe iTunes is nearly dead

Yes, but how many of her sales were streaming out of that 600k? Tbh I don't think that many, so sales wise Katy isn't doing too badly (if we ignore the album and the oher two singles - but that's not her populaitty, it's because the album is just WTF? like Spirit Indestructible).

Also Fifth Harmony are oot soon - could be ANOTHER contender

Posted by: T Boy 19th August 2017, 09:56 PM

Being top 5 officially (even only as low as 6 excluding ACR) based mainly on sales rather than streaming during a year where sales have collapsed and streaming has dominated is very good.

Not many others have debuted within the top 5 officially this year.

Posted by: 777666jason 19th August 2017, 10:34 PM

Exactly not many songs debut high these days so pink was a great achievement sadly sales are low and people want to dampen it though

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th August 2017, 11:52 PM

Justin starting to freefall

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th August 2017, 11:53 PM

Again, this is just the fanbase effect wearing off plus the weekend effect is always damaging to the new releases!

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th August 2017, 11:55 PM

Ha, a collaboration with Zedd has been confirmed!

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th August 2017, 11:56 PM

Does Bieber normally have a fanbase act? Seeing as his fanbase is all of the UK

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th August 2017, 11:57 PM

!

Yeah I'd definitely classify him as a fanbase act, I know What Do You Mean? had a series of dark red updates after its release for example (until the video came out)!

Posted by: cqmerqn 20th August 2017, 12:02 AM

I just find it weird that he isn't doing as well as he normally does. Little Mix aren't falling as harshly despite being even more of a fan base act than Justin imo. It must be down to overexposure

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th August 2017, 12:04 AM

I agree that overexposure is probably the reason, none of us seemed to consider it but he's been #1 for 12 weeks this year across two songs, plus 2U as well if he hadn't had I'm the One, Despacito and 2U, I think people's appetite for new Justin might have been stronger. Time will tell if it blossoms into a bigger hit I guess!

Posted by: Dexton 20th August 2017, 12:05 AM

It could also be down to the fact that Friends is not anything special whatsoever, especially compared to his last two releases. I'm The One being a sort of mega collaboration and Despacito being Despacito. Friends is just plain and generic.

Edit: I forgot that atrocious 2U was a thing. I hated that but I admit it was better than this Friends garbage

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th August 2017, 12:12 AM

Well this is subjective imo it's the most meaningful song he's released since Purpose and I adore the production too. It's just overexposure I think, if this was released before I'm the One, when there had been a more substantial gap between releases, it would've cruised to a #1 debut I expect! Diminishing returns and all that.

Posted by: Cremey 20th August 2017, 01:04 AM

Friends is his worst single in years in my opinion. Glad it's not just going straight to #01 on name alone (although that might obviously still happen with steaming included..)

Posted by: KY420 20th August 2017, 01:48 AM

Could Dua see off all the new competition this week Waiting for the next Spotify update as that should be a good indicator for Friends.

Posted by: vidcapper 20th August 2017, 05:51 AM

I find it depressing that the format that music is consumed through, now seems to be more important than the music itself.

Posted by: Bjork 20th August 2017, 05:53 AM

was the same 10 years ago with CD singles vs downloads

Posted by: vidcapper 20th August 2017, 06:24 AM

I don't think the situation is really that comparable - with downloads, any one person would generally only contribute to the chart for one week, even acts with big fanbases. Nowadays though, that influence can last for months, and until recently, could clog the charts with many songs by one artist.

Posted by: cqmerqn 20th August 2017, 09:04 AM

Friends will probably debut at 2.

I guess Bieber overexposure is having an effect much quicker than people expected. 'Friends' is hardly a disastrous flop (and of course there's every chance it could yet grow into a bigger hit) but debuting at #1 seemed like a low bar for him at this time, very surprised it's going to fall short of that. I guess it's on course to do better than '2U' at least.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th August 2017, 11:00 AM

I can't believe that Dua Lipa hasn't been #1 on iTunes yet.. (apparently her peak is #2) but an impressive chart trajectory nonetheless. Like something out of the early 90s!

Posted by: cqmerqn 20th August 2017, 12:50 PM

Little Mix went from 98% to 90% in one update. Ouch.

Dua headed for #2 soon

Posted by: Shaphne 20th August 2017, 01:05 PM

Never thought I'd see the day when P!nk is higher on itunes than Biebs and LM. Streaming a different story obv, but maybe P!nk can get a new peak this week? Or at least not fall.

Will Little Mix be credited? Is it a remix?

Posted by: Liаm 20th August 2017, 02:53 PM

Yes they'll be credited, it's just like when say Louisa Johnson was added to Unpredictable by Olly Murs despite not bein on the album version, for example/

Posted by: Zeebre12 20th August 2017, 02:57 PM

Why is this when its a remix?

Posted by: Liаm 20th August 2017, 02:58 PM

Because they contribute a lot of vocals to the song so why shouldn't they be?

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th August 2017, 02:59 PM

I'm unsure as to what the OCC will do with Reggaetón Lento and Little Mix's credit, they're horribly inconsistent on this, but they *should* be credited as it's the main single version in the UK, and the only reason it's charting at all

I mean, Matt Terry is credited on Súbeme La Radio so I don't see why they wouldn't be.

Posted by: White Mustang 20th August 2017, 03:11 PM

I think the remix is a joint credit isn't it?

Posted by: Rob Spears 20th August 2017, 03:12 PM

Yep!

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th August 2017, 03:12 PM

It is! Although this hasn't stopped them snubbing David Guetta on the remix of Bruno's Versace on the Floor

Posted by: Bjork 20th August 2017, 03:29 PM

One thing is a remix
And another thing is a featured artist

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th August 2017, 03:33 PM

That's not the point being made here though - all of the examples above (Reggaetón Lento, Súbeme La Radio, Versace on the Floor) have had new single mixes released, all collaborations, and the OCC has been inconsistent in the crediting of these songs, they always have been. Sean Paul for example was not credited on Hair or Cheap Thrills, but OMI received a credit on The Vamps' I Found a Girl despite it being the exact same scenario.

Posted by: Envoirment 20th August 2017, 04:06 PM

Glad to see P!nk back at #1 on iTunes. Should get a new peak this week as her streaming is starting to rise nicely. Perhaps she could even be a contender for #1 over the next couple of weeks.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th August 2017, 06:15 PM

I don't think Nelly ever had a definitive 'sound'. Whoa, Nelly!, Folklore, Loose and The Spirit Indestructible are all so different and Big Hoops didn't seem like anything more drastic than some of the sonic moves she'd done in the past.

For her it was definitely the long break between English albums that killed off her relevance. If she'd released a follow-up to Loose in 2008 instead of/as well as the Spanish album she'd have scored a few more hits and another successful album, even if she'd changed her sound again I reckon. Waiting to 2012, six years after Maneater and Promiscuous, for another English album was just insane.

Posted by: T Boy 20th August 2017, 06:18 PM

No, her first albums were quite unique to each other but the sound she went for in 2012 was the wrong one completely, just as I said for Anastacia.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th August 2017, 06:23 PM

I think she could have picked a better or more commercial sound for sure, but I don't think much would have bagged her a huge smash in 2012. I feel like people had got over her a long time before that, her Best Of in 2010 did nothing either which surprised me as I always thought she'd do quite well with one. Night Is Young was more sonically similar to the stuff she'd done before and wasn't a hit either.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 20th August 2017, 06:25 PM

You are reet tbh.

Before Loose, her style was 'folk alternative'. Her HUGE sonic shift to pop rnb was GROUNDBREAKING and trendsetting, being the first onboard the repetitive Timbaland train. It was the long break, baking pies, when she came back with something completely different and not in vogue, and with strange vocals, that sid it. The music was just odd, like a bridge between her pop and indie days. Didn't work.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 20th August 2017, 06:26 PM

Night is Young was, like the rest, a huge drop in quality.

Posted by: Liаm 20th August 2017, 06:30 PM

Waiting For The Night was incredible, that should've been massive.

Posted by: Shaphne 20th August 2017, 06:32 PM

I think with better choices Nelly could have scrambled a semi successful comeback. Like Liam said, Waiting For Tonight is amazing.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th August 2017, 06:38 PM

Her new album is brilliant to my ears, way better than The Spirit Indestructibe, I'm gutted she's not relevant enough for a hit anymore as her cover of Alyssa's Sticks & Stones for one would sound great on commercial radio.

Sorry to derail this thread btw, I'm so impressed with how P!nk is holding up, What About Us is my favourite song from her since So What I think! Absolutely adore it and hope it picks up on streaming too. I know she's a 'legacy act' but I hope this doesn't mean 'the Spotify generation' pay her dust.

I'm pretty sure loads of teens bought Madonna and Cher singles in the late 90s/early 00s without batting an eyelid, I just wish teenagers of today wouldn't just ignore listening to music by anyone beyond a certain age or whose career has been going for more than a decade

Agreed, I wish Girlfriend In The City was the chosen single from the greatest hits. One of my top Nelly F tracks.

I agree with others that the time gap was the biggest factor in things not going so well when she came back with TSI. I actually love the album, however the singles were all quite different in sound so it was unclear what to expect from the album (not that radio gave any of them attention after Big Hoops).

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 20th August 2017, 06:59 PM

Like GaGa with Joanne - no one would guess from the first two singles that it was gonna be a country album!

Her new album is indie, but so much better than TSI, but it doesn't matter. She moved too far away from a natual progression amd waited too long.

Posted by: mdh 20th August 2017, 07:03 PM

Haven't heard this yet but it's holding up surprisingly well! Martin in for his second top 40 in the upcoming weeks?

I missed this last week but why did the James Hype track take off when it was released on the 7th July?

Posted by: Liаm 20th August 2017, 11:18 PM

I still listen to that ALL the time, it'd still smash today tbh. That, Promiscuous, Say It Right an All Good Things were total 11/10s, such a fab singles run.

I've never understood the colouring system on Kworb, what does dark green signify?

Dark green is a big increase, light green is a small increase! White is stable, while light red means a small decrease and dark red is a big decrease.

Bonnie Tyler performed 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' live on a cruise ship, it was broadcast live on CNN during the count down to the Eclipse, not sure about other News channels.
No, I'm not making it up, fair play to her for reminding everyone who she is.

I suppose you could argue that the real location of the eclipse is in the eyes of the people who see it.
But yes, to get back to the original point, the totality of the eclipse was only visible in certain parts of America. People in some part of the UK could theoretically have seen a partial eclipse, but it was so cloudy down here I didn't even bother looking.

Taylor will reach around #4

Posted by: mdh 22nd August 2017, 06:32 PM

No she won't. She will be top 3 for SURE.

Posted by: White Mustang 22nd August 2017, 06:35 PM

As much as I dislike her, Taylor will be an easy #1 and probably one of the fastest selling singles in some time.

Posted by: Capybréra 22nd August 2017, 06:52 PM

Everyone thought this about Bieber as well, I wouldn't be that confident. It depends on what the song actually sounds like.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 22nd August 2017, 06:56 PM

THIS

If it is trite, it won't do well.

Besides, pop was en vogue during her last album. It is now anythin but.

Posted by: GTH 22nd August 2017, 07:00 PM

With all his features, we haven't really had a break from bieber so that didn't feel so special.

This is Taylor's lead for the next album so will be a lot more hype around it. No guarantees it will be the mega #1 people are expecting. Before CTTR came out, many thought that would be an instant #1 stateside. We all know that campaign didn't go to plan.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 22nd August 2017, 07:44 PM

That song from Zayn has tsken any hype away from nww Taylor, same with Rise to Katy.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd August 2017, 07:46 PM

No chance Shape and Castle being released didn't stop How Would you Feel and Galway Girl from being higher than any other non-Ed song

Posted by: mdh 22nd August 2017, 07:46 PM

No, Taylor will nearly certainly be #1. She just will.

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd August 2017, 07:47 PM

I don't think you can compare Friends to Taylor's upcoming single at all - Bieber's been present all year, there's hardly a craving for new material when he still has three songs in the top 40, whereas Taylor's not released anything new in a couple of years beyond the Zayn song (and I'd see it more as a Just Like Fire situation as opposed to Rise). It definitely depends on the song but I think it'd have to be VERY non-commercial to miss out...

Posted by: White Mustang 22nd August 2017, 07:48 PM

People are talking about Taylor's return way more than Bieber's new single. The hype and curiosity is not even slightly comparable, at this point. This is approaching Hello levels. (Nobody will trump that though)


Taylor's snake video has more people taking than Bieber's release has at all. If the song is crap, it'll fall away after a week or so, but it's first week will be big no matter what.

Taylor's lead single is the most obvious #1 debut since Shape of You! (sadly)

Posted by: 777666jason 22nd August 2017, 08:52 PM

Could she even do an ed and release 2

Posted by: danG 22nd August 2017, 09:09 PM

That would be a good idea actually, release one single for Pop/Commercial radio and one for Country. Although on a personal level I really hope she doesn't!

Posted by: Zeebre12 22nd August 2017, 09:15 PM

Anyway Dua Lipa is really much competition and sales being so low. Should be easy number 1

Yeah she dropped country after Red. 1989 didn't really have many country influences at all.

I think their music is on a few compilation albums that were released before their "retirement", which is where they are picking up the sales from.

Hopefully this and her streaming power can sneak her into the Top 10 next week!

Posted by: AcerBen 24th August 2017, 11:59 AM

The compilations on iTunes look foreign to me. Wouldn't be surprised if they aren't technically supposed to be on iTunes UK. It's weird actually because they are almost never included on UK compilations - you'd think because they deleted their back catalogue in May 1992 and refuse to be licenced. However, they have appeared on "The Greatest Dance Album Under The Sun!" in 1996, "Now Decades" in 2003, and "Now Years" in 2004, so it's not impossible to get them. Wonder why they've never shown up on a Ministry Of Sound comp or something like that.

The White Room album was never deleted in the U.S. so imports were available in HMV here for years.

P.S - Written in the cars that's the name and the song is typical them. not that good.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 24th August 2017, 03:31 PM

It's Written in the Scars.

This one leaked well before Rain came out and was reported to be the first single until they announced Rain.

Posted by: 777666jason 24th August 2017, 03:35 PM

Think cars sounds better would be interesting

For a second also thought it was a cover of written in the stars

Regular, Regular Explicit, Deluxe and Deluxe Explicit?

Correct! She did the same for Confident too, appealing to that family audience!

Martin Garrix and David Actual Zowie also, but expect neither to make any chart impact.

Posted by: Parallel Reality 24th August 2017, 07:13 PM

Since when did Kesha get as high as #22?? Not complaining though, she is definitely getting more air time this week. A-list on Radio 1, Album of the week on Radio 2, frequent play on the music channels. Just turned over to see a Pink vs Kesha music video show - I hope it keeps climbing. I wonder what we'll get as a second single - 'Woman' would be ideal for October time.

Posted by: mdh 24th August 2017, 07:38 PM

I think out of all the songs on the album, the one with the most chance of breaking top 40 that isn't 'Praying' is 'Learn To Let Go' for sure! Sounds like a minor hit.

Posted by: White Mustang 24th August 2017, 08:13 PM

It's not A list tomorrow, hopefully week after, if it continues to climb.

#31 now, but I think it really needs 59p tomorrow.

Yes at Katy climbing with 'Swish, Swish' - Queen Katy saving the 'Witness' era one single at a time. When will your faves etc.,

Posted by: White Mustang 24th August 2017, 10:00 PM

It'll probably start falling again tomorrow because of Taylor's shadow, especially if she releases a video too. That's why 59p is important, to cancel that out a bit.

Posted by: Tombo 24th August 2017, 10:03 PM
