I think Drake x MJ is coming for official #1?
Drake Update. Very much looks like 'Don't Matter To Me' could be an instant #1 considering its great download start and we all know it will do amazing streaming numbers. Would be MJ's 8th UK #1 single and Drake's 5th.

Still confused about that Nicky Nevz track - I can't find anything about him or the song anywhere online?
Apparently Nicky and Chasa are snapchat famous(?) (that's just me guessing from reading the iTunes comments) but I'm still confused as to how that warrants the song getting a #2 position on iTunes.
It sounds like a really cheap dance song from 5 years ago too.
Drake's album tracks aren't on YouTube unsurprisingly so that could cost him some chart positions there.
Thankfully we have the 3 track chart rule or the chart would be infested with Drake nonsense.
Drake & Michael Jackson track is stunning, hopefully No1 for a long time.

05. Jonas Blue - Rise
I thought this would be doing better, although it is just an album track
260. Sean Paul - Bad Love ft. Ellie Goulding
Mad Love and No Lie we’re both slow burners so if it is an official single it’ll climb as the airplay kicks in
Thought Mad Love was David Guetta's song, not Sean Paul's?
I can see the Michael Jackson track, NFW and Emotionless being the 3 Drake songs on the chart
Have raksu got any promo anywhere like up in coming weeks it seems like a random release
Yep sadly until OCC actually do something about properly separating singles streams and albums streams we'll get messy situations like Nice For What dropping 25-OUT before returning at around 50 or even lower many weeks down the line.
The whole point of the artist cap was to stop album takeovers of the singles chart (which it has done a rather good job at) but also to value the single over the album track, which isn't really happening when singles are being forced out of the chart in favour of album tracks.
I hope soon we'll have a way of stopping the 'double counting', and have streams of singles going to the singles chart only and album streams going to the albums chart only.
I still don't see why they can't just count those that have an actual individual release separately from the album. Like if NFW for example had an individual release (that didn't tie into a pre-order) then all versions of that song should be combined and go towards the singles chart. Then, the 2nd single can chart once it's been made available as an individual release and all those streams of that song from the album at that point can start being combined etc..
Hope that makes sense, I'm on my tablet so I'm not sure if it does haha.
117. Rak-Su - Pyro Ting
Christ that is bad I mean the song is objectively absolutely TERRIBLE, like ofc people have different views but I cannot fathom how someone could listen and think it is good.
510. Becky Hill - Sunrise In The East
This is absolutely sublime, I'm gutted she's had little commercial success as a solo artist.
Au/Ra up to 24!
Rak Su performamce is by means a surprise.
I would see them as one of the most over hyped X Factor contestants.
12. Tiësto & Dzeko - Jackie Chan (feat. Preme & Post Malone)
19. Cheat Codes & Little Mix - Only You
27. Jax Jones & Mabel - Ring Ring (feat. Rich The Kid)
87. Years & Years - All For You
124. Rak-Su - Pyro Ting
More than half the week done but only three pages posted here.
It's not often the Spotify thread gets twice as many replies as the iTunes one in the space of 4 days, but that's just Drake's impact. *_
11. Tiësto & Dzeko - Jackie Chan (feat. Preme & Post Malone)
Here for 'Jackie Chan' to be a big hit tbh, might be another sellout moment for Tiësto but it's quite a bop, much better than 'Red Lights' and 'Wasted' imo.
6. Maroon 5 - Girls Like You (feat. Cardi B)
5SOS Youngblood top 10 combined
10. Tiësto & Dzeko - Jackie Chan (feat. Preme & Post Malone)
35 Panic! At the Disco - High hopes
i feel like this one will do great for Brendon, BBC 1 is already supporting, it's a great song.
it could actually do a 'Youngblood' and be a reasonable hit for Panic! as it's doing surprisingly well on Spotify too.
Because of England playing....
18. Three Lions
51. Vindaloo
55. Three Lions '98
75. World In Motion
If England win tonight 'Three Lions' could challenge for an official top 40 position again otherwise the song's going to free fall.
Any progress for Kirsty MacColl?
10. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions
373 Kirsty MacColl England 2 Colombia 0
98. Max George - Barcelona
I would bloody love it if High Hopes manages to go top 40, it would be their first since Nine in the Afternoon in 2008!
JT released a new single Called SoulMate 20 minutes ago, Only on Apple of course as of now, again. REALLY good, can't see that as a hit but whatever.
It's on Tidal, so it's not an Apple Music exclusive.

26. Fat Les - Vindaloo
28. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions '98

Three Lions to be number 1 on iTunes?
Such an embarrassing song, hopefully it doesn't chart top 10 this week.
Is this serious about JT?
Wow, just heard it,amazing!
Three Lions now at #3!
Three lions will be number 1 come Saturday
3. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions
23. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions '98
365. Justin Timberlake - SoulMate
Three Lions to 2.
We leave you alone with football, leave us with our music. It's just a bunch of drunk men chanting effectively, that's what it sounds like to me anyway.

30. CHVRCHES - Miracle
31. New Order - World In Motion
37. Dennis Lloyd - Nevermind
252. Justin Timberlake - SoulMate
Thought it was football-related too
As in it’s a miracle that Englabd won
Its a shame there hasn't been an official England world cup song released this years because the most popular track is almost
30 years lyrically inaccurate (or has there been and its just flopping badly)
Ha ‘it’s coming home’ is the meme of the moment.
And a songs appearing every four years isn’t really a big deal 😅
22. Fat Les - Vindaloo
29. New Order- World In Motion
71. The Football Classics Band- Vindaloo
76. International Sports United - Three Lions
99. Ant & Dec- We're On The Ball
CHVRCHES!! One of my faves of the year (the song and the album!)
Soulmate is boring
Three Lions now to #1
I wonder if they'll do a rush-released updated version of the song.
I much prefer Three Lions ‘98 so good to see it doing well itself too.
Plus it’s much more relevant for now: “Gareth Southgate the whole of England is with you”
Only #492 for 'Whole Again' which I've heard chanted way more than any actual football song!
1. Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds- Three Lions
10. Three Lions '98

89. New Order- World In Motion
England wont win the World Cup. Not while France, Brazil, Uruguay, Belgium & Croatia are still in the tournament anyway!
Three Lions will probably be out of the chart by next Thursday so the chart invasion wont last long for all those that hate the song
I’m here for Whole Again slaying cos of World Cup chants
well England is in the easy part of the table so reaching the final should be possible, Sweden and Croatia are possible to beat, especially if Croatia plays as bad as they did against Denmark
If they go through semifinal, those are over a week away so in that case at least 2 weeks of Three Lions still to come
Yeah if England somehow manage to win the world cup I can see 3 lions easily being propelled to no1, even if it is for just a week or two.
Its certainly doing well today but I'd imagine it'll subside over the coming days but then again I feel there's hype around England there hasn't been for a long time in a major tournament.
Oddly everyone I know is talking about it - even people who don't even really like football are into it (I like the World Cup, but that aside am never bothered).
I think if we beat Sweden then next week Three Lions will be the official number 1 as the streams and sales will only intensify
Personally I think 'Three Lions' is the ultimate football song ('World In Motion' does come close though), so I'm pleased it's #1
As for whether it can make Number 1 officially if England win the World Cup, I'm not really sure. I guess a lot of people will be streaming it over the next couple of weeks?
I suppose it depends what kind of circles you are in .
Sadly it's all anyone around me talks about as well My entire soial media feeds, my housemates, my other friends.... So bored of it. Even if it's not football it annoys me when pointless songs chart, but football is the best example for it. I think drunk football chant is one of the most jarring noises possible so that in a song is a huge no.
Do you guys seriously believe England will win?
They didn't play that well against Colombia yesterday. Sweden and anyone else that's left in the competition are going to be much harder opponents.
Of course not!
You'll all be eating your words come 15th July!
it’s coming home x
17. Copilot Music & Sound - Take Me Home, Country Roads (Original Trailer Soundtrack)
This song has became a popular meme recently with it being used for the Fallout 76 trailer, but #16 will probably be it's peak
23 million people watched the penalties last night, the average audience was around 16 million... that suggests that 'Three Lions' would have a much wider appeal than any other song right now.
I don't think I've got through a conversation with anyone in past few days without "it's coming homeee" being said at least twice And quite rightly too *.*
Good lord, the sooner the World Cup f***s off the better.

This is the only "coming home" I need
it's coming home *.*
Srsly, The World Cup is a big talking point like it or not and Three Lions only shows up once every two years or so and it's one of the FEW TIMES we're actually doing well enough to justify it and it'll be gone in a week at absolute most apart from the unlikely event that we'll win (we could easily be out this Saturday) and it'll be back to normal so chill out~
Pixie Lott feat Jason Derulo coming home >>>>
Ahem
It's kind of crazy to think that this is the first time since downloads have (comprehensively) counted towards the chart that England have actually progressed further than the first knockout game in a World Cup / Euro. And therefore presumably the first time 'Three Lions' has hit #1 on iTunes? Unless it did back in the fledgling days of 2006.
It's coming home ~
On Three Lions charting I can understand those who don't like football/the song itself being annoyed at its success but to suggest it's not a huge song is wrong - it's one of the most culturally significant songs in the charts since the 90s, it charted at no1 not once but twice and it always rises when England do well. IF they win the World Cup it will undoubtedly be no1 on huge sales for a bit!
There's a famous Danny Baker tweet about people who don't get football but there's too many expletitives to repeat here lol!
Shambolic iTunes performance from Justin Timberlake!
"don't get football"
Just my opinion, I cannot and will never get excited over men chasing a ball around I'm sure people say the same about things I enjoy and that's fine, I don't get why there's always so much defensiveness when someone DARES to not like football....
Also nobody has said it's not a huge song, I get that and if it is the most popular song at a certain moment, yes it should be #1 (although who knows with how they're doing ACR atm ), as should say a Christmas classic at Christmas. That doesn't mean I *want* it to though.
^
Well there are millions of people all over the World who can and do get excited about men chasing a ball around
My only gripe is they should be paid according if they love to play football why should they be paid 500k a week when the real hero's are on a fraction if this
People saying how Justin Timberlake is flopping obviously do not get how the chart works these days! Come back in a few weeks and if he hasn't done well then it's fair to comment!
Most people don't even know it's out!
I don't get why people get SO offended when people say they're not into football or don't watch World Cup. I don't care when people say the same about Love Island, Big Brother - other shows or anything I'm interested in. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone was into the same thing? :')
Just calm down and let people have an opinion.
It’s not about getting offended, it’s reading the same thing every five minutes - we get it, you don’t like football
Other common ones recently:
We get it, you don’t like "Shotgun"!
We get it, you don’t like "Drake"!
We get it, you don’t like "No Roots"!
Going on about it = 2 people expressing their opinion, oh okay!
And Lomadz, I know a lot of the general public haven't a clue how the charts work! My friend who is clueless to how those things work said Bebe Rexha is #01 album, when she was just #01 on iTunes albums or something :')
Everyone is entitled to their opinion if they don't like football. It'll probably chart at #38 on Friday. Who is going on about it, people are just saying what they think. But the over-hyping of the national team winning a game is too much almost excessive.
My response was about people in general, not specifically about buzzjack, I was just making a response. People in general I find like to make a song and dance about something they don’t like - I gave three examples of what I HAVE seen on buzzjack.
Okay .
