Let Me Love You for #1
I really like the DJ Snake/Justin Bieber song. It has that slight melancholy sound that I like in dance songs, although I must admit the chorus instrumental is VERY 'Lean On'.
EDIT: Oh and I'd have liked more of an outro.
Tove Lo to slay please
Let Me Love You is exactly what I expected it to be. A carbon copy of Lean On and Turn Down For What
Katy Perry 'Rise' 59p!
M.O - Who Do You Think Of? also 59p.
M.O have been 59p for a while!
Says how good my memory is..
So is it gonna be battle of the Justin be I her songs for next weeks number 1
No DJ Snake on the release schedule
So Justin Bieber is going to be #1 consecutively just like towards the end of 2015? the boringness of the chart continues............
11. Heathens - twenty one pilots
34. Sunshine (feat. Dan Harkna) [Radio Edit] - TIEKS
46. Is This Love (feat. LVNDSCAPE & Bolier) - Bob Marley & The Wailers
SO HAPPY to see Tove Lo at front page on hot songs!!
Drake has been reduced.. I wouldn't be surprised if it went number one again
10. twenty one pilots - Heathens
15. The Chainsmokers - Closer (feat. Halsey)
24. Fifth Harmony - All In My Head (Flex) [feat. Fetty Wap]
33. TIEKS - Sunshine (feat. Dan Harkna) [Radio Edit]
55. Blossoms - Charlemagne
56. DJ Snake - Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber)
256. Banks - Gemini Feed
690. Sam Bailey - Sing My Heart Out
Rise has a brand new official music video out, alongside being 59p.
41 DJ Snake Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber)
Flying up!
DJ Snake & Justin Bieber now up to #39. Hope it climbs on Spotify too
TIEKS at #33 and #126
So pleased 'Heathens' has gone Top 10 - Think this will get a surge now that the album and film are out.
Also just realised Calum Scott has a 3rd version of DOMO nearing the Top 50 - He's currently at #3, #19 & #55, Seriously huge for a song that looked like it would struggle to make the Top 35 at one point!
"Rise" will surely get an Olympic boost (especially with the price reduction ). Not sure it can push it back in the Top 40 overall though although there is a rumoured appearance at the Opening Ceremony.
Wonder whether Sia's "Unstoppable" will get a push over the next couple of weeks, it is being used in a Gillette Olympics advertising campaign with a new verse from Pusha T.
Also would be great to see a reappearance of Underworld with "Caliban's Dream" as the BBC will use extensively.
On Albums chart,
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Revolver iTunes has reduced its price by £5 to £6.99.
Watch it climb the charts.
18. DJ Snake - Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber)

960. Duke Dumont – Be Here
961. Idina Menzel – I See You
402. Stylo G x Jacob Plant - Bike Engine
Been bubbling around for a while, finally got released today. Relentlessly catchy club crossover song! Would love for this to keep rising.
5. DJ Snake - Let Me Love You
63. Tove Lo - Cool Girl
Looks like Justin Bieber will be hogging the top 2 for the next 3 months
1 Major Lazer Cold Water (feat. Justin Bieber & MØ)
2 DJ Snake Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber)
I'd love to see Major Lazer get knocked off by their former collaborator DJ Snake and for Justin Bieber to knock himself off the top again
I actually prefer the new Justin Bieber track over Cold Water, the new track is very errr... Lean On
Anyhow... not had a British #1 since Feb... ZAYN #blamedrake
Offaiah at number 26 - this is going to blow up like 99 Souls did at the end of last year.
We are having a good year for disco house (which has been mostly dead as a chart force with a few exceptions since the end of 2006) in the charts (99 Souls, Clean Bandit/ Louisa Johnson, Sigala/ John Newman and now this). Perhaps a trend is starting. Maybe this will take over as the next dance trend after tropical house dies out.
^It's R1 TOTD today
43. Tove Lo - Cool Girl
491. Sam Bailey - Sing My Heart Out
I like Sam Bailey but did not have any idea of this release. Would anyone here know if she has signed a new recording deal?Or is this an independent release.
it's on some label called Tiger Drum, never heard of /cannot find any info, so might be an indie label
2 DJ Snake - Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber) 0.9412
Coming for the iTunes #1 thick and fast!
Sam Bailey jumping from #491 to #110 following on from her Loose Women appearance - She seems to have quite a bit of promo this week.
just noticed
30 Panic! At the Disco Bohemian Rhapsody
202. Kideko & George Kwali feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie - Crank It (Woah!)
Big dance tune released today, sounds massive! Keep an eye out for this, I think we could be hearing alot more throughout the rest of this year.
1 DJ Snake - Let Me Love You (feat. Justin Bieber)
38. Tove Lo - Cool Girl
Nice start! Hope it goes top 40 officially at some point

278. Norah Jones – Carry On
YES offaiah!!!
Big hit in the waiting.
21 Pilots now top 10
'Heathens' has grown on me a lot these past few days and it could top 'Stressed Out' for me in time. Next stop top 5 please!
Justin's label should remove Cold Water from Spotify for a couple of days Get that 5th #1 in less than 12 months
Great to see a different track at the top, but it needs a big lead and strong spotify sales for the official chart #1. Major Lazer should still get a 3rd week, a week later Justin Bieber could top himself.
Justin Bieber doing a Jess Glynne
Where is DJ Snake/Bieber clip to be heard? Not in youtube?
Another greeedy artist combining how to increase revenue?
Well maybe gets one week in the charts and then get off!
67 Viola Beach - Boys That Sing
Jumped 30 places - Guessing it's due to the R1 play and media about the album going to #1?
So if DJ Snake makes it to #1 either this week or in the coming few weeks, Justin will achieve his fifth #1 in the space of a year. Does anyone know what the record is for most #1s within a year? Five would certainly be very impressive for Justin! As well as holding the top 2 spots in the singles chart twice within a year, on separate occasions with different songs!
What has happened/is happening over these last 2 or 3 weeks is like payback for Lean On criminally missing #1.
Considering keeping Cool Girl on repeat throughout the night on Apple Music.
Is it worth it?
you know there's a daily cap
Westlife had 5 from Apr 1999 to March 2000
Thanks guys! Really rooting for DJ Snake to make it at some point soon then so Justin can snatch another record *.*
Of course Westlife managed it as "lead artists" too. This is not to discredit Bieber's achievement at all but a subtle reference back to the female UK #1s record a few years ago
Yep. The limit applies for all streaming services.
13. Closer (feat. Halsey) - The Chainsmokers
16. Sunshine (feat. Dan Harkna) [Radio Edit] - TIEKS
21. Trouble - offaiah
36. Cool Girl - Tove Lo
43. Millionaire (feat. Nelly) - Digital Farm Animals & Cash Cash
61. Freak Like Me (feat. Katy B & MNEK) [Radio Edit] - Lee Walker & DJ Deeon
That Millionaire track has been bubbling under for seemingly ages (and it's getting semi-heavy Music Channel rotation).
I'm all glad for DFA to get his first hit but I'd have much rather he got it with Wanna Know or indeed the sublime True.
Very pleased to see Sunshine climbing even more this past day.
I would have rather it been a hit a month ago when there was actually more sunshine rather than now when Summer is almost over!
Seems to be a lot of movement on iTunes at the moment - very fluid!

Disappointing that Katy did not perform at the Olympic opening ceremony- Not sure that 'Rise' will actually rise anymore now
Closer number 12 without any support, and their last single in still top 5, and it was top 10 if not the new releases, This is going to be SO BIG.
Katy Perry should climb
cos its 59p now
Has a video now
More airplay

TIEKS 09
Mike Perry 105
DNCE - Toothbrush 145
YES TIEKS
Well that TIEKS climb was unexpected.
I'm getting I'm In Control vibes from Who Do You Think Of?
Anne-Marie (#20) and M.O (#28) seem to be dropping fast
And Fifth Harmony taking off with 'All In My Head' (#16), Really didn't think it was going to do anything.
Just noticed that 'Lost Boy' is at #143 - Really think this will be huge and stick around for ages if radio get behind it, it's the kind of song that Heart thrive on.
Can't believe TIEKS is top 10!!!!
Really hope its streams pick up and it manages a good run in the top 40
Final Song 06
Still climbing despite being dropped from R 1's playlist really gunning for this to be top 10 this week!

Wish VANT Karma Seeker would rise - such a great track!
Any reason why Tilted has risen by 5% in the last few hours?
7. TIEKS feat. Dan Harkna – Sunshine
Yeh I would love it to become a top 10 hit, she's really the biggest indie name of the moment, reminds me of Florence in 2009/10
Tilted back in the top 10 already yay (i don't think it'll make the Top 20 officially now though, can't see it getting enough streams)
6 Twenty One Piolts - Heathens
'Stressed Out' and 'Ride' have both got boosts too and the album is currently the #8 artist album - Love seeing them smash
I wonder why the thread is so dead right now?
14. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons - Sucker For Pain (with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors)
There's very little to get excited about in the iTunes charts these days. I must admit myself I barely follow it anymore as it's becoming less & less indicative of what is really popular out there.
yeps it's a bit frustrating when songs can go top 10 on itunes but miss the top 40 come friday like Britney :/
Yep. What we need is a HUGE week where loads of people release - and there's not only a lot going on on iTunes but there's a load of threats to impact highly in the Official Chart too. Hopefully the OCC will impliment a change in the coming months if this current pattern continues to somewhat adjust the frequency of new entries and movement up.
Heathens 4
YES 'HEATHENS'!
Smash the top 5!
4 Twenty One Pilots - Heathens
69 Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out
79 Twenty One Pilots - Ride
Album 13 Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface
Still hope that 'Ride' can snatch a week Top 40! 'Stressed Out' & 'Ride' have climbed 15+ places since earlier
Ride & Heathens really should switch places for me, the latter is so dull...
11 The Chainsmokers - Closer, coming for that 2nd Top 10. The radio play for 'Closer' has hardly started yet so this could be a future #1?
Halsey at number one!!!
Closer was already added to Cøpitol's playlist last week
but not R1 yet they haven't even made it TotD yet and since they work with impact dates instead of release dates they might not add it to the playlist til October
266. Stylo G x Jacob Plant - Bike Engine
Favourite song right now! They could almost market this as a novelty dance track (even though it's much better) and see this blow up. Certainly has the potential to.
TIEKS #6
and Closer #8 yay!!!!!!
but #4-11 are all pretty pretty close
Listen to Love Me Like You Do - then listen to the last minute of Closer..
Dam, Cool Girl being moved to the second page on Hot Songs has really affected her. She's fell around 20 spaces!
Sam Bailey currently at #277. Well, it's a lot higher than some thought!
6 Closer, Coming for that #1
good 'ol British public. An abomination like 'Closer' climbing high while 'Cool Girl' is falling
This Chainsmokers/ DJ Snake domination in dance music on the itunes chart is like David Guetta and Calvin Harris at the start of the decade. Seems like these two acts are the new 'global dance acts' to follow on from David Guetta and Calvin Harris.
I preferred the fact a couple of years ago that the dance hits were mostly one hit wonders (Secondcity, Storm Queen etc.) rather than these big groups like The Chainsmokers dominating. Also like in the 90s and the 2000s these hits were only really popular in the UK wheras todays dance hits (Chainsmokers, Kungs, DJ Snake) are global.
In summary there are less UK only hits on the chart in dance and in other genres than any other year recently I think. There is less of a UK identity in the charts this year, most of it seems to be global pop and global dance. This is not a good thing I think.
Streaming was always going to bring together all the global markets, whilst I agree it means it's harder for UK acts to make a dent on the chart (as seen by the number who have had hits of the Sales Chart but not the Combined Chart) we don't miss out on the mega European dance smashes as frequently as before.
Songs like The Ocean would have done absolutely zilch here a few years back for example.
5. The Chainsmokers - Closer (feat. Halsey)
37. Kehlani - Gangsta
41. The 1975 - Somebody Else
46. Blossoms - Charlemagne
135. Lady Leshurr - Where Are You Now? (feat. Wiley)
137. CFO$ - WWE: Glorious Domination (Bobby Roode)
Love or hate the song the staying power of Calum Scott has amazed me - He's still at #3 with further versions at #28 & #61!
and no longer on sale! I personally love it
also liking the Chainsmokers Closer song, glad it's #5 with minimum airplay yet
I really like the Tiesto remix of DOMO
6. TIEKS - Sunshine (feat. Dan Harkna)
12. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons - Sucker For Pain (with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors)
1049. Biffy Clyro - Howl (Radio 1's TOTD)
chainsmokers - closer #4 now
How and why is chandelier STILL in the top 100?
4. The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey – Closer
5. TwentyOnePilots – Heathens
6. TIEKS feat. Dan Harkna – Sunshine
9. Christine & The Queens – Tilted
12. Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons – Sucker For Pain
15. Anne-Marie – Alarm
19. Olly Murs – You Don't Kmow Love
A fair bit of fluctuation in the Top 20 with several songs contending for a Top 20 hit eventually.
94 Kungs/Jamie N Commons - Don't You Know
Great track - Hopefully they can get another hit with this.
45. Britney Spears - Clumsy
63. Ruth B. - Lost Boy
Thanks to a play on R1, I guess it's inevitable that this is going to become a hit, joy
53 Ruth B - Lost Boy
This is going to be huge, It reminds me of the style of 'Jar of Hearts'
41. Britney Spears - Clumsy
49. Green Day - Bang Bang
53. Ruth B. - Lost Boy
That Lost Boy track is one of the worst things I've heard all year.
The Peter Pan & Captain Hook lyrics
Is it just me or has iTunes totally died/frozen on us? There's been a weird shift with some tracks and it's not updated in ages.
It looks fine to me? Or am I missing something?
