Official Charts Report

QUOTE
After celebrating his first UK Number 1 single, Hozier is looking to stay at the top of the Official Singles Chart for a second week with Too Sweet.

Celebrating 30 years since the release of their debut single, Oasis’s Supersonic could enter the Top 10 for the first time ever at Number 6. The track originally peaked at Number 31 on its release in 1994.

Perrie’s solo career is off to a flying start – Forget About Us (co-written with Ed Sheeran) looks likely to be this week’s highest new entry at Number 7.

What ya doin’? Dua Lipa’s Illusion is predicted to debut at Number 8 – the third consecutive Top 10 single from her upcoming album Radical Optimism.

Take a sip! Sabrina Carpenter is heading for the highest peak of her career, with new summer slammer Espresso predicted to enter at Number 11.

Two dance hits could hit new peaks inside the Top 20 this week; The Blessed Madonna & Clementine Douglas’s Happier (16) and David Guetta & OneRepublic’s I Don’t Wanna Wait (18).

Alongside the albums mentioned we have the physical releases for Beyoncé and Benson Boone, think Beyonce might be back at number one

If Perrie has sold good physicals wouldn’t be surprised if she is top 5 on first look maybe even top 3?

Posted by: conorw 14th April 2024, 05:43 PM

Wonder of djo will be reset with his cassettes out this week. Could be a tyla situation where it’s reset the week it’s meant to go and stays top 10 (though I believe hers was manual cos for the Travis Scott remix as I’m pretty sure it did nothing on streaming to warrant an automatic one tearsmile.gif )

In all seriousness I doubt it will do enough to better it's #31 peak sadly.

I imagine it's done all its sales for the week already, save a few passive streams.

No official release date, it just says “spring”. I’m assuming they were waiting to see how well it starts so they can have the extra sales to push it up.

I reckon with them she could go top 3 as she had cd, cassettes and vinyls and all reasonably cheap too

It won't be reset and it wouldn't help it that much. Its boost is coming from physicals not streaming.

Posted by: Liam sota 14th April 2024, 06:08 PM

Having physicals for a single and not releasing them in the first week makes no sense at all. Only logic would be some thought it’d take away streaming so delaying the first few days but nobody else has ever done that

Posted by: Johann 14th April 2024, 06:11 PM

Unwritten finally outside the top 20 (for now). And no new Future & Metro Boomin tracks, fortunately.
A bit unimpressed by Espresso, even though I'm a fan of Sabrina. Dua delivers quality, as always.
And Djo's gone.

I'd think it is more they aren't ready to ship yet? Maybe Perrie was meant to be released a few weeks later but Taylor has made it this week or get swallowed up by her so the physicals aren't ready.

They weren't miles ahead on the one day of Spotify that's been counted, while Perrie has a download + Apple Music advantage. I'd expect her much further ahead with physicals involved!

Perrie really needs to get her physicals shipped. If she did she could have a shot at top 5.

She only dropped a place today on Spotify and is still top 10 on Apple - so its not like her streaming is actually that bad. Especially when you factor in the number of songs above her which are already on ACR.

This doesn't include physicals, plus 7 is pretty impressive with no music video released alongside it.

They haven't released Perrie's music video yet? Seems odd considering that they showed a preview of it on Jonathan Ross which means that it's already complete?

Yeah they made a mess of everything. No video. Her link which displays everything doesn’t include to physicals. If you see that specifically has no fixed date which discourages anyone from buying. Bizarre to mess up somebodies first release like that.

Not sure they’ve made a mess of everything? They probably thought/hoped there would be enough momentum behind her in week 1 with the buzz around the song and promo to go Top 10 (which of course it still could), I get them not wanting to throw everything at week one and try and get some longevity and hold back the physicals and video to week two, if they throw it all out this week they’ll end up with a Leigh-Ann type release.

Posted by: Notorious D.O.T 15th April 2024, 02:46 PM

Agreed holding back the physicals beyond first week hype is actually a wise decision in this case which could get it another week in the upper reigons. They have probably seen and reflected on the 4-18 and 11-52 drops of Jesy and LeAnn.

Posted by: Mangø 15th April 2024, 04:07 PM

Who the hell is/are English Teacher?!

Wow at James taking an early lead, though it probably won't last if there's only 3k in it. Would be cool for them to finally get a #1 studio album though, they definitely deserve one by now.

That's a terrible start for The Feeling, although their last two albums missed the top 40 too so I guess they just don't have much of a fanbase these days compared to other bands of their ilk/era.

They've been around since the 80s and had multiple big hits in the 90s anyhow so unsurprisingly have built up a sizeable fanbase since.

I bought that Linkin Park album the other day. A good collection, especially as they never licensed any material to Now or Hits albums so I owned very little of their stuff.

Could hang around a bit lower down as they didn't have a previous hits album and all of the streams of their classics will be attached to it.

Could be pretty close between James and Beyoncé for the #1 album then, and seems Future & Metro would have been blocked again even if they did repeat the sales of their first collab.

Nice surprise to see English Teacher so high! (@ Mango they're an indie/post-punk band who I believe have been supported a lot by 6Music, probably best known on BuzzJack for the (brilliant) song 'R&B' which was sent to BJSC a couple of months ago).

Posted by: ___∆___ 15th April 2024, 05:00 PM

I thought Mark Knopfler might have been more of a challenger for #1 - great improvement on his 2018 album though which peaked at #17 and bought to an end his run of 5 Top 10 albums.

Might be quite close for the #1 in the album chart this week then! Beyoncé up ~2.5k sales from last week's Monday update. She'll likely end the week with ~20-25k.

Great start for Perrie, Dua & Sabrina, although it'll likely be reverse order come Friday. Dua/Perrie will likley fall out of the top 10 come Friday with Sabrina rising.

Not really logical. She’s up due to physical release but last week her streaming was still good this week only Texas is still doing worthwhile numbers so her streaming will be down a huge amount. So she’ll likely be around 15-17k as a best case scenario estimate

Her streaming is a bit down from last week, but it'll still give a decent total (in part thanks to having all 16 tracks count and Amazon is supporting the album quite nicely still). She did ~15k last week and I can see her doing ~20k+ with the physical release boost.

The increase is because of the wider physical release, I don't think it'll remain as far ahead of its equivalent sale from last week for the rest of the updates. (Although not sure if there were pre-orders for the non webstore exclusive release tbf).

id imagine they might see tonights mids and see if its worth sending rhem all this week if they have a shot at top 3/5 or if its better to save some for a bit more longevity in future weeks to stop it collapsing too fast - bit like the beatles track, they kept some physicals for other weeks so it had more of a gentle descent from #1 than it wouldve if they used them all in week 1

Labels know exact figures every day from 7am they don’t need to wait for mids

What’s the longest we’ve gone without a UK artist having a #1 single?

Posted by: Mangø 17th April 2024, 09:15 AM

Well it's at least 17 weeks (Bryan Adams + U2's one week) but I imagine there are longer stretches that someone will identify!

I might just be insanely out of touch but I’ve never heard this Hozier song anywhere whereas I felt Take Me To Church was inescapable, even though I was never a fan. It doesn’t seem to have the same ubiquity

Worth considering that at this moment, it's not even one of his 10 most streamed songs of all time on Spotify. I'm sure it'll eventually pass 2 billion and then some, but at present, not even 10% of the way there.

Posted by: Mangø 17th April 2024, 10:00 AM

Exactly, you can hardly compare a song released 5 minutes ago to songs which have been out for years!

Natasha is indeed now listed on the credit for Badger's These Words!

Posted by: mrpopquiz 17th April 2024, 04:45 PM

It looks like Supersonic will miss the Top 40 on Friday - boo !!!

It's great to see Natasha Bedingfield keeping the retro flag flying at 17 and 37.

Posted by: Roba. 17th April 2024, 04:48 PM

Hope Artemas can keep 4 as Beyoncé's had enough time up there now.

Eek would've liked Perrie to hold onto top 10 but looking very unlikely now if it's 10 today!

Posted by: Hadji 17th April 2024, 04:48 PM

Nice to see Artemas closing the gap on Teddy but I was expecting him to overtake Teddy. I hope he does by Friday and I also hope that Sabrina can push Beyoncé out of the top 5

She was #8 on Monday.

Ah thought she was 9, thanks! Should be guaranteed a top 20 place then!

Posted by: Mangø 17th April 2024, 05:01 PM

Perrie coming to do a Leigh-Anne!

The #1 album is too close to call but I think I'd put my money on Bey.

Posted by: Johann 17th April 2024, 05:07 PM

Hope Tyla can keep her top 40 place!
I much preferred These Words over Unwritten, but that was the original version.

Posted by: Jessie Where 17th April 2024, 05:10 PM

They've dispatched some physicals today for Pezza today (I assume in a bid to make sure she does keep that top 10)

Wonder if Sabrina can go top 5 on Friday?

Posted by: Slayer 17th April 2024, 05:10 PM

They really need to drop Perrie’s physicals.

Guessing this is referring to the Perrie music video comments? Taylor is capped at 3 chart entries so don’t see why this would be a big issue for Perrie. If anything she needs something to help keep buzz beyond week 1 to reduce the inevitable drop in the charts.

I think it’s less to do with charts and more that Perrie releasing a music video is likely to go over a lot of people’s heads when there’s a new Taylor album clogging up their feeds

Posted by: Liam sota 17th April 2024, 05:16 PM

My predictions for Friday

1. Hozier
2. Benson
3. Artemas
4. Teddy
5. Sabrina
6. Beyonce
7. Dasha
8. Ariana
9. Michael Marcagi
10. Dua or Perrie

Posted by: Padamic Tension 17th April 2024, 05:37 PM

Great to see Natasha Bedingfield credited in the Badger track.
Really can't see Perrie staying top 10 now, I think 11 is looking likely but hope I'm wrong, likewise can't see oasis managing to stay top 40.
Album sales are decent this week, I hope all the top 5 can each pass 10k.

Posted by: ___∆___ 17th April 2024, 05:44 PM

Not convinced that the CD singles will save Perrie (seems to be the only format ready to go out of the 3 available).

Posted by: No Sleeep 17th April 2024, 06:01 PM

You’d think they’d see how it’s performing and rush everything out this week. Odds are it’ll continue sinking like a stone, might as well aim for the highest peak possible

I’m guessing the vinyl and cassette are not ready? They could have dropped the video this morning though to bag a few extra streams.

Omfg I just said this too!!

He has been unlucky TWICE - first, with Take Me To Chuch being the biggest song od the year but missong out on no.1, abs now this one being the biggest song of the year but onky getting 2 weeks at no.1. Ain't no way Taylor Swift won't get to no.1. Any star that overexposed gets an AUTOMATIC no.1, unless they start flopping. He shouldawaited a few weeks to release. Interesringly, both tiems, TMTTC and Too sweet, released when indie musoc was havin HUGE hits - Riptide, Ho Hey, ans npw Benson Boone and Teddy!!! Shows how important musical contextof what's popular is to make hits.

Posted by: 777666jason 17th April 2024, 06:22 PM

There's no guarantee Taylor will debut at number 1 and even if she did he would probably return to number 1 the week after I wouldn't call that unlucky laugh.gif

Posted by: Jordanlee 17th April 2024, 06:36 PM

Amy impact on the albums showing! I hope Frank can appear in the top 100 as it does actually get a fair bit of showing in the film but obviously the film being called Back to Black I’d expect that to get more of the resurgence despite it already being the longest charting female album ever.

Perrie may hold on top ten with physicals depending on how many they are. Hoping it doesn’t drop too sharply though. I think both Perrie and Leigh’s debut tracks were nice enough but they’re both capable of doing a lot better. Hoping Jades can showcase off that personality better I think that’s what’s lacked with the solo LM releases so far.

Also really liking the Hozier track now. I actually think this years been rather good so far for number ones although I do wish Ariana got there with we can’t be friends.

Posted by: DJ Cheeky Magpie 17th April 2024, 06:37 PM

Teddy still been annoying

Posted by: Bjork 17th April 2024, 06:39 PM

I guess perrie’s vinyls are not ready
Cos only the Cds have a 12 april release date
It takes months to get vinyls ready but you can make Cds in one

I think when you order bundles they don't get delivered until the entire order is available generally.

Posted by: Bjork 18th April 2024, 07:01 AM

depends, most of the time you can choose between
wait until order is complete to send everything at once
vs send separately as it becomes available

Posted by: ___∆___ 18th April 2024, 12:47 PM

They might do what Kylie done and when it was close for a Top 10 they took a hit on postage and sent out people that had pre-ordered PP along with the album so that they could get the sales.

Posted by: k👠th 18th April 2024, 03:05 PM

Does anyone know what's at #11 and #12?

Posted by: conorw 18th April 2024, 03:09 PM

My perrie cd arrived today, as did my djo cassette (shame they’ve gone up the week he goes to ACR but I doubt they’d add too many sales anyway). Noah Kahan stick season (we’ll all be here forever) cd & vinyls have also released this week so I think it could help stick season up the albums chart a bit… not that it needs any help doing that lol

Now she’s doing physicals week 1 it will be a high debut and harsh second week slump just like the other two.

Posted by: Slayer 18th April 2024, 05:56 PM

She's only dropping CDs, she has cassettes and vinyls next week, along with the music video tomorrow.

Posted by: No Sleeep 18th April 2024, 05:59 PM

I’d rather have a top 10 peak than a top 20 and a slightly artificially boosted second week tbh!

Posted by: sajjadali 19th April 2024, 01:21 AM

don't think the peak matters but top 10 would be nice. once capital hammers this it will be top 10 for sure.

i think it makes an important impact to debut top 10, but the song doesn’t need it. i also think it can get back there with time. it’s already very impressive to be within reach of top 10 without the physicals and without a music video - who would have predicted that? also can’t forget that it was a very competitive week to release; especially, for female pop singers. she would have debuted top 10 and probably with higher streams if released the week prior.

the song is already stable and top 10 on AM but should have no issue increasing on spotify again as it grows on HHUK. music video today and extended mix, vinyls and cassettes still to ship. just a shame that taylor will wash her far out of the top 50 on spotify today - timing hasn’t been her friend smile.gif

Posted by: LouisL 19th April 2024, 11:25 AM

She’s down to #57 on Spotify today even without the Taylor album bomb, I think this week will be it’s only chance for top 10 tbh
