swish swish bish a #1 in the basket
Posted by: UltraRedLight 10th August 2017, 11:04 PM
omg imagine if we somehow have a Dua / Pink official top 2! That would be the best top 2 in years <3
Posted by: 777666jason 10th August 2017, 11:04 PM
Hopefully pink or aviccii ruin duas chances
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th August 2017, 11:06 PM
Avicii won't even be close
Posted by: Lenny 10th August 2017, 11:06 PM
Really?
Posted by: 777666jason 10th August 2017, 11:07 PM
Yeah just noticed after I checked so maybe the Script although unlikely without 59p
Posted by: UltraRedLight 10th August 2017, 11:07 PM
considering we haven't had a good #1 since Symphony & Shout Out To My Ex, yep
(oh and Rockabye, I forgot that was after SOTME!)
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 11:07 PM
Dua is gonna be #1 isn't she!?
Posted by: Lenny 10th August 2017, 11:08 PM
Oh so by 'years' you mean a few weeks then
Posted by: UltraRedLight 10th August 2017, 11:09 PM
I thought it was going to be like 3/4 years but I forgot Rockabye/SOTME were top 2 together!!
Posted by: Ryan. 10th August 2017, 11:11 PM
New Rules also #2 on Hot Songs, Instruction still well placed there too
Posted by: Lenny 10th August 2017, 11:12 PM
That is a far stronger top 2 than "New Rules" and "What About Us" would be
(Obviously it's all subjective)
Posted by: Ryan. 10th August 2017, 11:12 PM
Although both Demi songs have disappeared from the 59p songs promo section 
So nearly a perfect Friday
Posted by: UltraRedLight 10th August 2017, 11:14 PM
(Obviously it's all subjective)
New Rules/What About Us is better than that just
(Rockabye is a 9/10 so I decided to quickly look at the top 2's for songs that I liked that hit #1 recently and my last 10/10 top 2 is All About That Bass/Shake It Off back in 2014!!
)
Posted by: Scene 10th August 2017, 11:16 PM
DUA FOR #1!!
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 11:20 PM
So nearly a perfect FridayAh, that's a shame, No More Sad Songs fell quite a bit on iTunes on the one week where it vanished from the 59p batch.
Posted by: Dexton 10th August 2017, 11:25 PM
Avicii - Without You at #43 
Love this to smash
Posted by: omrimayo 10th August 2017, 11:26 PM
DUA PLEASE
Pink don't run away too soon! Please, I love you but let Dua be number 1 this week!
Posted by: omrimayo 10th August 2017, 11:28 PM
OMG Pink's lead is too damn big, really nice for her.. the streams of Dua won't like cover 50% lead.
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th August 2017, 11:32 PM
Remember P!nk won't hold up like that for the entire week, and her streaming will take a little while to build. I think Dua's got this.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th August 2017, 11:32 PM
Quite an exciting week in terms of new releases actually! Some interesting stuff to check out.
I'm down with 'New Rules' being #1, if it's possible!
Posted by: Jonjo 10th August 2017, 11:35 PM
Here for Dua to get #1!
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 11:37 PM
Dua's sales will fly up tomorrow in the day with the combination of Hot Hits and 59p. She'll be on Be!ge's tail in no time.
Posted by: Liаm 10th August 2017, 11:41 PM
Omggggg
I might acc cry if Dua gets #1, New Rules would be my favourite #1 since Roar and it might even surpass that but it's hard to match it up to all time faves this early.
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 10th August 2017, 11:52 PM
'New Rules' now the second song on Hot Songs and 59p, I see no other song being number one than Dua, what an incredible achievement considering it's been released after the album. This really will help her become ever more huge in the UK.
Rita Ora 'Your Song' being 59p again tho, Amelia Lily 'You Bring Me Joy' 59p! Coming for that top 200 re-entry!
Posted by: BridgeCow 10th August 2017, 11:55 PM
Omg yes at More Than Friends being front page hot songs
Posted by: Ryan. 11th August 2017, 12:00 AM
I'm intrigued to see how Jessie J's new single does! I think it might get a surprisingly high peak on iTunes tomorrow before tumbling down.
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 11th August 2017, 12:01 AM
JESSIE J IS BACK?
WTF.
Posted by: Ryan. 11th August 2017, 12:02 AM
With a "buzz single" called "Real Deal" *_*
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 11th August 2017, 12:03 AM
I have no f***ing clue what Zara's doing with the releases of 'Don't Let Me Be Yours' and 'Only You', I don't think 'Only You' is a single in the slightest, just think she's doing it to gain extra streams to overtake Ariana in most streamed female album.
Posted by: Dexton 11th August 2017, 12:03 AM
Not UK chart but Pink is currently both #1 & #2 on the Australia iTunes Its always surprised me how popular she actually is down under, Just Like Fire debuted at #1

Posted by: M4NG0 11th August 2017, 12:11 AM
There's a new Robbie Williams single, where did that come from? Weird how it's right down the bottom of the NMF playlist. It's actually really good!
Anyway, P!nk for #1 this week please.
Posted by: ManicKangaroo 11th August 2017, 12:27 AM
Its the first track from the second volume of his Under The Radar series which is only available through his own website
Posted by: UltraRedLight 11th August 2017, 12:28 AM
It better not
This is possibly her worst yet which really says something.
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 11th August 2017, 12:31 AM
IMPOSSIBLE.
Posted by: Ryan. 11th August 2017, 12:33 AM
Yeah it's my least favourite single of hers too I think as I had no desire to listen to the whole thing, hopefully it's not an indicator of her forthcoming album!
Posted by: JosephStyles 11th August 2017, 12:34 AM
I agree that it's pretty terrible, she really has lost it 
Posted by: Liаm 11th August 2017, 12:56 AM
It's not outright terrible but it's SO bloody bland I couldn't make it past about the 2nd verse or I'd have fallen asleep, that alone felt like about 5 minutes.

Who has let Jessie J come back?
This new P!nk song is alright but a bit underwhelming, she's capable of farrr better ('Just Like Fire' was pretty great for example), impressive as ever to see her still so relevant though, I'm not surprised she's got to #1 on iTunes but wow at her building up a 2 to 1 lead!
I'd LOVE to see Dua Lipa take the #1 this week though, please let that happen 
(even if it'll be another one that's only #1 decause of 'Despacito' having halved streaming power). Would definitely be the best #1 in quite some time.
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 05:22 AM
soo slain by the charts in general this week, what a fab week for the pop girls! (Pink, Kesha, Dua)

Jake Paul officially more relevant than Jessie J
Good to see Avicii still climbing in the top 40 
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th August 2017, 07:57 AM
Is this new Jessie track from an upcoming album? Interested to see how she does with her next era (personally I think she is over though).
Is Dannii Minogue #1 yet?
Posted by: White Mustang 11th August 2017, 08:09 AM
iTunes has been frozen for a good hour hasn't it?
Posted by: T Boy 11th August 2017, 08:34 AM
Apparently the Jessie J abomination is for an M&M advert 
So does Pink have an actual shot at no.1 this? I don't know how to predict the charts these days.
Posted by: White Mustang 11th August 2017, 08:38 AM
Pink will not be #1.
Dua up to #2 on iTunes already. SHE IS COMING.
Posted by: danG 11th August 2017, 08:39 AM
So does Pink have an actual shot at no.1 this? I don't know how to predict the charts these days.
Unlikely. She'd have to hold this kind of lead all week which I don't think will happen. Even if she's the week's biggest seller, Dua Lipa will have a bigger streaming advantage so will likely claim the official #1 that way.
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 08:42 AM
Here's a breakdown as simple as I can make it...
Pink's sales = all iTunes downloads + (total streams / 150)
Despacito (or nearly any other song over 10 weeks old) = all iTunes downloads + (total streams / 300)
...so basically Pink will have her streaming sales counted for double of all songs like Despacito.
And to answer your other question, I can't see her making #1 but top 5 is definitely very possible I'd say! (I'm shit at predicting tho so take what I say w a pinch of salt lmao)
Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 09:02 AM
How's Louis Tomlinson doing?
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 09:03 AM
in my defence I thought he'd sold like 20k physicals :'')
Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 09:06 AM
Your defence is feeble
Posted by: Mart!n 11th August 2017, 09:16 AM
Come on Dannii get that #1
On a different note I'm loving the top 2 Dua Lipa vs. P!nk its been awhile since we had a female battle in the top 3 singles chart.
Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 09:18 AM
On second listen the P!nk song sounds pretty big - it'd make a decent number 1.
Jessie J's offering however is as everyone has been saying. It is drab beyond belief :/
Posted by: jafetsigfinns 11th August 2017, 09:19 AM
I'm so happy that Without You seems to be the Avicii song that people are taking to the most. It's been on repeat for me since I discovered it yesterday. +.+
Posted by: Mart!n 11th August 2017, 09:22 AM
Jessie J's offering however is as everyone has been saying. It is drab beyond belief :/
The P!nk track is actually rather good, but not her best. Nothing really beats her Mizunderstood era.
Just had a listen to Jessie J's latest offering, the track goes nowhere, its piss poor

On a scale of 1-It's My Party, how bad is the Jessie song?
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 09:35 AM
Who You Are.
it's woeful, boring as anything
Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 09:36 AM
Oh come on, "Who You Are" wees all over this one
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 09:38 AM
they both sound like being forcibly genitally mutilated so it can't be much better tbh
Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 09:44 AM
So do a lot of her songs tbf
Nah that's an exaggeration but she does like to scream her vocals far too much. That's why I've never particularly taken to her.

Posted by: Lenny 11th August 2017, 10:35 AM
P!nk is still pulling away at number 1 but Dua didn't fall back too much only dropping 0.02 with Calvin now number 3 having dropped back 0.08 in the latest update.

OK it's not funny anymore, 24 hours and pink is still gaining HARD!!!! EVEN without streaming she can sell 50k this week easily. With Dua gaining a lot she lost another 2% and the lead is over 60%.

Itunes sales are so low That selling double than anybody means 4k a day
Pink needs to do wellon Spotify too
Posted by: Shaphne 11th August 2017, 01:23 PM
It's still selling though, I don't get why people are so quick to try and tear down itunes #1 when it still counts a fair bit to the charts.
Posted by: Liаm 11th August 2017, 01:27 PM
Steps got iTunes #1 and peaked at like #37 P!nk is doing better than the though, she'll get like top 5 which is incredible for a female artist in this climate with a song that isn't overly chasing every trend and 17 years into her career is incredible. She could climb to #1 in the coming weeks imo when Spotify builds a bit more for her but we'll have to see how she starts, she might do really well initially. A Dua and P!nk top 2 after Despacito has been #1 for like 3 months would be incredible.
Posted by: T Boy 11th August 2017, 01:28 PM
4k a day is quite a lot given sales over recent weeks. No one is expecting it to be at no.1 next week but can't we just be happy she's doing well on a chart somewhere?
Some of us don't stan that many successful artists in these times, y'know....
Posted by: RobBob 11th August 2017, 01:37 PM
I don't think anyone is trying to discredit Pink, anyone does well to reach #1 regardless of how high the sales are! It's just an explanation to anyone who's expecting her to go straight in at #1 that a big download lead can be misleading. But, yeah, she's exceeded my expectations and she's doing fantastically, so fans should still be happy!
Disappointed it's Without You doing well for Avicii, the track with Rita Ora is much better imo and shows a much different side to Avicii.
Posted by: White Mustang 11th August 2017, 01:37 PM
Pink will probably collapse around the weekend I agree, but I do think it's destined to be a big hit either way.

Nobody predicted P!nk to do this well either.
Posted by: White Mustang 11th August 2017, 01:51 PM
I don't think anyone is trying to negate from the fact Pink is doing incredibly well right now, like Steps did initially too.
But some are just lowering people's expectations who expect Pink to jump in at #1 on Friday, with Steps some people couldn't get their heads around their eventual chart position (Not so much on Buzzjack I guess, but on Twitter and other forums they didn't seem to have heard of streaming
)

Despacito's chart run will be interesting to watch as it'll be the first song to spend it's entire chart fall from #1 to when it eventually drops out on ACR
Posted by: mdh 11th August 2017, 02:47 PM
Right, here's what Pink will need to get into certain positions next week (approx)...
Top 20 - 15k
Top 10 - 26k
Top 5 - 29k
Top 3 - 34k
...now you can probably get yourself a better judgement on where she'll land. I think top 5 is possible.
Posted by: Hiß 11th August 2017, 02:49 PM
I don't like the Dannii/Jason Herrah song or the Marshmello/Khalid one as the drops are not great in either of them imo.
The new Avicii/Sandro Cavazza one is very good though imo

Pink will likely hold up much stronger than Steps did have after reaching number 1 on iTunes. I would greatly welcome a Pink number 1 or a return to the top 10. It is welcoming to see some change in the charts this week.

But some are just lowering people's expectations who expect Pink to jump in at #1 on Friday, with Steps some people couldn't get their heads around their eventual chart position (Not so much on Buzzjack I guess, but on Twitter and other forums they didn't seem to have heard of streaming
)There was the fact it was Ed Sheeran's album release week (even though it would have only been like #24 otherwise anyway).

Selling double #2 on iTunes is pretty significant, and we can't really judge her streaming until tomorrow. I think top 5 should be achievable depending on the Spotify update.

More Than Friends sounds straight out of 2014 so it's v surprising the public are taking to it! I can see it being a Buzzjack favourite if it carries on to catch on like it is.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th August 2017, 08:40 AM
It proves that type of sound can actually do well, people just need to release more of it. Hopefully with this, the new Tom Zanetti and the Duke/City track we can gradually shift towards this and away from that future bass/tropical saturation.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 12th August 2017, 08:44 AM
The only thing I would say is that it is probably a bit too soon for deep house to become 'the thing' again. I'm hoping against hope that garage can make a miraculous comeback!
Posted by: mdh 12th August 2017, 08:49 AM
On My Mind by Disciples is another prime example of that deep house sound creating a hit in 2017 - and that was a hit through Radio 1 airplay. If they continue to support deep house/d&b/garage influenced tracks outside of Dance Anthems then I think they could make a 'comeback' of sorts.
(even I'm fed up with identikit future bass songs now, change the bloody record please
)
Posted by: Supercell 12th August 2017, 08:52 AM
Its going to be very close but I do think both p!nk and Dua look to have the top 2 spots next Friday I reckon. She's maintaining a decent lead on iTunes with Dua Lipa only going up to 50% so far.
If P!nk's sales hold up I'd estimate she's on course for 35-40k of downloads plus maybe 10-15k from streaming which thanks to ACR last weeks no.1 only had 39k of combined sales so P!nk could shift that on downloads alone. Dua Lipa I reckon will do around 40-45k, if P!nk maintains a steady lead on downloads and her streaming pulls up she may just about clinch it.

Keep forgetting the first day of pink is not of this week's sales? So it's really a day and a bit... And now Dua already at 55% and pink has no radio this week and 300k difference on streaming which is around 2k sales. Dua should and deserves it in my taste but yes I think both can be top 2.
Posted by: John-James 12th August 2017, 10:50 AM
I think Dua has this to be honest, just a 45% lead now which will only continue to shrink.
A bit of trivial information but does anyone know when the last time we had a post-album #1? Not a single going #1 after the album release but a single being released and pushed to radio after the album is out.

Just googled him - it shouldn't be too much of a surprise he's doing music as he was once a part of Blazin' Squad who had a few hit singles including a #1! It appears he's now more known for being on Love Island though.
Posted by: BridgeCow 12th August 2017, 12:49 PM

Great to see P!nk actually holding up! I'm bored of these iTunes number 1's that fall away and recover when they're almost out the top 10 or whatever. It's refreshing to see her actually hold some ground! Great that it's happening in the midst of the weekend effect too! I wonder if she'll actually be able to extend and gain more ground again on Monday?
Posted by: JosephStyles 12th August 2017, 06:32 PM
P!nk's holding up incredibly well! I didn't expect her to tumble that quick because she's less of a fanbase act - the likes of Gaga, the 1D boys, etc will fly to #1 and drop quickly once the fanbase has bought it, P!nk has never felt that way to me. Hopefully the Dua/P!nk top 2 can actually happen
Posted by: Hiß 12th August 2017, 06:45 PM
I really don't like it. Why did the vocal cover have to sped up so much from the original! Plus I am not a fan of either the deep house drop or the pitched vocals.
Posted by: Shaphne 12th August 2017, 06:53 PM
P!nk is the perfect example of an artist who has a loyal (and sizeable) core fanbase but who also appeals greatly to the general public, all her album campaigns have been fairly successful, even the "flop" era of Try This. I'm pretty sure all her albums have been at least Platinum certified?

Posted by: Ryan. 12th August 2017, 10:43 PM
So I've come up with some hypothetical predictions here, no idea what they would add up to until I finished them...
So judging by Kworb, P!nk might be able to manage around double the sales of Despacito. Based on last week's sales, this would put her around the 35k sales mark. Streaming-wise, she will be hit by the slow start (even though its fast in terms of a new release) and I'm predicting she'll hit around 1 million streams for the week (which is what #25~ on Spotify would typically get which I think is about what she'll average out at, lower at the beginning of the week e.g. now but higher by the end of the week) which gives her 6.7k sales units.
TOTAL: 41.7k
I think Dua will be around 0.9 at least by the end of the week on Kworb, so if we take a hypothetical week average I think we're looking at 0.7. That's 24.5k sales. She's going to be looking at 2.6 million streams for the week, which will equal 17.3k sales.
TOTAL: 41.8k
I promise that wasn't planned! But I think that's being more optimistic for P!nk than it is for Dua, assuming P!nk will pick up streams very quickly and will stay at iTunes #1 for the entire week. So I think Dua has it in the bag!
Posted by: dandy* 12th August 2017, 11:34 PM
I'm really impressed that Pink has managed to come back with such an impact, she really is a strong contender for the most popular female artist of the past couple of decades in the UK. Well, someone who isn't Adele anyway...

Posted by: Bjork 13th August 2017, 07:08 AM
Still think Dua will do it easily
She should do 45k, 30k from streams and 15k from itunes
Pink will do 7k streams but even if she kept the pace at itunes, thats 30k
overall, so 37k max
Posted by: jazzy_765 13th August 2017, 08:24 AM

Posted by: cqmerqn 13th August 2017, 12:29 PM
I think it's because she's female and British aswell, which means going #1 is such an achievement. It's also a 6th single too which makes it even better.

I hate that people aren't allowed to enjoy female pop songs without people being like "omg shock Buzzjack stanning a female!11!!!!", it's quite patronising There are people who do it for a lot of dance songs or a lot of urban songs, I wouldn't say that to them, people like what they like. When we've had 3 months of Despacito and countless other weeks of Bieber and Ed Sheeran, a pop song that we like geting to #1, not mention a new female artist on her 7th single, is incredible. I don't even care for the chart much these days but this sort of thing always makes me check back.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 13th August 2017, 01:36 PM

All the hype here for Dua Lipa to get #1 is just a culmination of all sorts of different things though to be fair First solo female #1 for almost a year, first #1 for Dua Lipa, post-album single going against all odds and storming the charts, New Rules coming basically right after two songs which had 10+ weeks at #1 each, a very popular music video, and the list goes on. The argument about dance or R&B songs not getting as much position reception on this site is very true, but I think a major factor in that is simply because pop songs like this appeal to a broader audience when compared to songs such as Unforgettable, Wild Thoughts, or even Despacito.

It's a proper moment for people who like this sort of pop, it's been absolutely AGES since a #1 like thus with all these factors has been a serious #1 contender. Nobody is stopping other opinions posting, people have said they don't like the song, people are saying they want Pink #1 instead but like both, some people like neither. If it's that repetitive and boring to read don't bother lmao, it's much better to have activity and a buzzing atmosphere than "oh Despacito is #1 again, and the script have gone up 0.0001%!11!"

Don't Let Go is one of my all time faves but this remix is such a banger, idk what it is because normally I would't like it and it's nothing that revolutionary, but I just really like it and it keeps growing!
Posted by: omrimayo 13th August 2017, 07:51 PM
Pink is on the rise again, only less than 6% for the whole day gain for Dua. It's gonna be super close.

And Despacito has appealed to a much broader audience than Dua Lips could ever wish for.
Posted by: JosephStyles 13th August 2017, 08:08 PM
It's not, Dua's streaming more than makes up for the iTunes gap
P!nk will be a comfortable #2 imo.
Posted by: heysexy 13th August 2017, 08:12 PM
I would love p!nk to go to number 1 but number 2 is great for her!
To be honest she's had a lot stronger singles that deserved to go to number 1
I am a huge Pink fan. The Dua song is decent.
Posted by: *Tim 13th August 2017, 08:14 PM
Plus I think it's exciting that the sixth single from an album looks set to top the chart in a very stale climate at the top. Also the song is a banger!
Can't really use the 6th single excuse when the album was a pretty massivr flop
Posted by: Bjork 13th August 2017, 08:15 PM
it's not been a flop, done pretty decently
Posted by: Jonjo 13th August 2017, 08:17 PM
Buzzjack's ALWAYS been supportive of female artists. That isn't going to change. I don't see why people can't talk about how much they want Dua number 1 or how much they would like Pink to get it instead. We actually have a chart battle! So obviously it's going to get people talking and it's even more special due to the fact we've not had a female number 1 for 9 months, so of course we're gonna be buzzing/supporting P!nk and/or Dua!
It happens. Shouldn't be an issue. It's a forum for us to express our views on stuff like this.
Much rather see those posts rather than that the constant one place movements we get for songs which are either over/had their time or not gonna break out for a while.
Posted by: Klaus 13th August 2017, 08:20 PM
It's just exciting when a technical 9th (!) attempt in 2 years has finally given a much loved artist on here a proper and successful hit, especially when reaching No. 1 has become nearly impossible for any artist, let alone a British female. It's nearly been 2 years since one actually topped the chart in their own solo right and that was Adele!! Then you counter into the fact that it didn't even look like Dua's album would even be released for a large period of time, I don't think anyone would have expected Dua get a No. 1 single, even a few weeks ago. Plus the fact its a well-loved song on here with one of the best videos in the past few years. It's sort of become a pop 'moment'!
Honestly, people moaning in here is become even more tiresome then what they're moaning about. If you don't like it, then you're honestly on the wrong site because this has always leaned a lot more favourably to female pop artists

P!nk is selling less than double of Dua on iTunes now. Dua is streaming over 4x more. I really can't see past a Dua #1 at this point.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 13th August 2017, 08:27 PM
Nobody has said people can't comment on this! Myself and a few others are just noting the difference in this thread when a pop female is doing well as opposed to music from other genres... maybe this site isn't right for some of us.
Posted by: ElectroBoy 13th August 2017, 08:29 PM
Same; unless P!nk gets some serious streaming numbers behind her then she's lost
Posted by: omrimayo 13th August 2017, 08:31 PM
But streaming worth less now, so She had 60% on first day, around 40% yesterday and around 35% today, And I think she'll start climbing on Spotify also... Again, Love Pink and I wrote it 5 times already this week but I think it's gonna be close.
Posted by: T Boy 13th August 2017, 08:34 PM
However, you seem to be making an 'us and them' situation. Why the difference needs commenting on or why you need to mention Buzzjack stereotypes is beyond me.
FYI I'm in here because Pink, an artist I actually like, is doing well. I'd be here if it were Maroon 5 who aren't femal (see 2011 threads for evidence). Artists I like doing well rarely happens now, as is the case for a lot of older members here. So what if we get a bit overexcited, we dont really need commentary on our posting habits from people who see their fave artists doing well all the time.
And I don't even like Dua Lipa.
Posted by: cqmerqn 13th August 2017, 08:53 PM
Pink is TOTW on R1 so she'll probably start falling a little bit faster on Monday

Pointing out a difference in posting style and frequency between fans of different genres isn't creating an 'us and them situation'. It is simply an observation.

Posted by: White Mustang 13th August 2017, 09:03 PM
I think she'll actually have big gains on Monday morning, new songs often do. Weekend TOTW/TOTD effects are often quite minimal.

Posted by: omrimayo 13th August 2017, 09:13 PM
I think also she'll be super stable, just need her no to go high on Spotify. And what is that mean this TOTW? like how big effect it had?

tbh New Rules & What About Us are both massive bops - so lets just be grateful for possibly the best top 2 of the year so far.
Posted by: cqmerqn 13th August 2017, 09:26 PM
A solo female top 2... no male features... in 2017... is actually amazing.
Posted by: heysexy 13th August 2017, 09:28 PM
Hey. I don't understand your post
Surely Pink being the one to watch on R1 would boost the song in terms of plays?
So why would it fall faster on Monday?

Unlike all the last mornings what Dua gained.. Not it's Pink so I guess the lead will stay around 40% the whole week, What do you think in that case it will be? Shocked about how Stable she is, she fell everywhere already at least a bit..
And Yes if someone has a problem me talking about it - he can go or ignore me.

it's nice to see that a lot more people have become genuinely interested in the charts over the last few weeks! reminds me of how it used to be every week pre-streaming and it's a bit of a shame that these exciting chart battles probably still won't be that frequent.
personally, I'm LOVING the inclusion of ACR in the chart, it's made sales mean something again and have a noticeable impact in the charts
Posted by: steveh31 14th August 2017, 09:48 AM

This is because sales are so low and one song is not dominating ie 1k between 1 and 2 in today's spotify. When a big new release comes out it people will go off again for a while, it's a bit ironic as Alanis would say that people get more interested when less people are buying or streaming and when more people are buying less people want to talk about it.
Posted by: Yorkie3 14th August 2017, 09:51 AM
Looking forward to Taylor Swift's comeback as it's been a while, but please no more Bieber #1s... If he hadn't featured on about 600 tracks since his last album I'd just about be able to cope with a new single.
Still, at least Dua Lipa will get a week at #1 which is a huge surprise!

This is a proper slow burner I have read a few comments from people who say I never liked Louis but heard this and can't stop listening to it again and a few people who relate to the lyrics of going back again and again to the same person.
They need to get back to UK and perform on One Show or something like that to make it really explode.

Posted by: Liаm 14th August 2017, 08:30 PM
Yeah I imagine it'll be like Where Are U Now or to use a recent example Selena on It Ain't Me. It's probably to tide over until his actual lead but he has equal billing so it feels like more of a "comeback" for want of a better word

After Dua almost touching the 70% pink started to gain aging and she lost another 2%. Lop I'm hoping the spotify gap which getting smaller will be enough because JB Is next week number 1.

Posted by: mdh 15th August 2017, 01:45 PM
I think deep house will always be a force in the charts... just never as major as it was in 13/14. it's one of those very niche 'British' genres if you get me, it'll always be there and there'll be the odd big hit come out once every few months... similar to how country music does in the US charts.

Now even I can see her first number 1 this Friday, with her lead getting bigger. It would be funny or not if Beiber will sell around 50k in 7 hours? I guess a bit of impossible so next week it's his so perfect timing for her.
Posted by: Lenny 15th August 2017, 04:07 PM
I actually don't think it's that impossible for Bieber to sell that much in a matter of hours. It'll be guaranteed to go viral the moment it comes out and all the over obsessive fans of which there are many will go out and grab their copy. He's a lot more popular now than he was when "What Do You Mean" came out and went straight to number 1.
I also think he's bigger than Taylor Swift now so he'd win head-to-head. I love Taylor myself and am looking forward to her comeback but Katy Perry's relative success with this era has made me worried. That said, Taylor's last era was bigger than Katy's last era so perhaps I'm underestimating her.

Getting worried for Dua, Justin will probably clear 50k in the 7 hours he has.
Posted by: BridgeCow 15th August 2017, 04:44 PM
I actually swear to god if Justin blocks Dua

I think I'd cry
Posted by: ElectroBoy 15th August 2017, 04:50 PM
There is no way that Justin will do 50k in 7 hours
Posted by: mdh 15th August 2017, 04:51 PM
Justin won't do 50k in 7 hours. no way.
Posted by: cqmerqn 15th August 2017, 04:52 PM
He won't have streams will he. I'm just getting paranoid because this is going to be the best no 1 since Hello

Posted by: BridgeCow 15th August 2017, 04:59 PM
Dua needs to get this number 1, she deserves it so much, I've even got friends who don't follow the charts who were excit d the other day and scing me about New Rules getting to number 1 on Spotify, a Dua number 1 feels like such a bigger deal than another Justin one
Posted by: Lenny 15th August 2017, 05:05 PM
lol it'd be the best number 1 since "Feels" for me
Posted by: mdh 15th August 2017, 05:09 PM
I'd say New Rules would be the best #1 since Cold Water for me, with Feels only slightly less favourable than New Rules.
Posted by: Bjork 15th August 2017, 05:11 PM
maybe i'll eat my words but I think it's totally impossible
most of his fans will stream it, not buy it, well sure some will, but remember iTunes sales are at its lowest cos
it's a dying platform that less and less people are using everyday...
and luckily his streams will be wasted
Posted by: Liаm 15th August 2017, 05:12 PM
New Rules would be my favourite since Black Magic, maybe even Roar!
Posted by: BridgeCow 15th August 2017, 05:23 PM
Favourite since This Girl for me... oh wait

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 15th August 2017, 05:31 PM
Well it was #1 on the non-Drake chart
Posted by: Bjork 15th August 2017, 05:35 PM
for me, best #1 since Are you with me (Lost Frequencies)
Posted by: Lenny 15th August 2017, 05:46 PM
Christ what am I missing seriously? You're all acting like this is the best song since sliced bread (which was number 1 in 2015 probably). It's good but it's hardly groundbreaking or even Dua's best song!
Posted by: omrimayo 15th August 2017, 05:57 PM
Wait now I read that the video for what about it s is coming tomorrow?!? With 2 days she can cover like 5k gap really easy, and she'll won on Friday if so, the gap is small anyway. if the video will have an effect. Scared again!!!
Posted by: T Boy 15th August 2017, 06:02 PM
Seriously why are you scared? And Dua will be no.1.
Posted by: omrimayo 15th August 2017, 06:05 PM
Not really scared lol, Anyway it's more exiting now
Posted by: Houdini 15th August 2017, 06:07 PM
Dua Lipa will still be rich whether she gets number one or not so it's not the end of the world for her.
Posted by: Josh! 15th August 2017, 06:11 PM
It would be the best #1 since .... Feels for me
I'm really enjoying it at the moment but yeah, there have been loads of other great number #1s this year alone (Wild Thoughts, Symphony, I'm the One too!). I hope it can make #1 and Pink can make top 5 officially!
Posted by: cqmerqn 15th August 2017, 06:15 PM
I can't see it not being Justin
Posted by: lewistgreen 15th August 2017, 06:19 PM
If Justin is releasing on Thursday then he will do it at American time. Reckon we'll get it late afternoon maybe even evening. It won't do anything to the charts on Friday so everyone just calm your shit
Posted by: Jack 15th August 2017, 06:23 PM
New Rules would be my favourite #01 since 'What About Us' by The Saturdays
Posted by: JosephStyles 15th August 2017, 06:28 PM
It's out at 5pm our time, so he has 7 hours of sales - IMO there's no chance of #1 but I think he'll make top 40!
Posted by: mdh 15th August 2017, 06:47 PM
there's absolutely zero chance of Justin being #1.

Posted by: mdh 16th August 2017, 08:26 AM
PILLOWTALK is probably my least favourite #1 since I started following the charts

Ego is being performed live on Lorraine later, expect a boost for it.
Posted by: Lenny 16th August 2017, 09:16 AM
This was the norm for dance radio edits a few years ago. "We No Speak Americano" for instance among numerous others. Certainly good for addictive songs - easier to listen to them over and over.
Posted by: Tombo 16th August 2017, 09:28 AM
It is awful, I really don't like it either!
I don't get the hate for this year's #1s
I love Shape Of You, Despacito, Feels and Wild Thoughts
Symphony was good too.
The worst #1 of the year is sign of the times, it is an abomination that shouldn't have bene created, Louis should have had #1 with Back To You over Harry Hairy Styles

41. Chris Brown - questionsThis is actually a banger though and much more likely to chart as opposed to 'Party' and 'Privacy'. It samples the Kevin Lyttle classic 'Turn Me On' and is arguably more radio-friendly than Loyal or Ayo. Only question mark is the song is barely over two minutes long.

It's probably not a bad move from them but oh my at Little Mix hopping on the bandwagon as well so soon. It's been less than a month since Matt Terry was shoehorned onto 'SÚBEME LA RADIO'... it's just such a transparent cash grab while 'Despacito' is still hot, I don't see these Latin songs having sustained success beyond 2017.

it's just such a transparent cash grab while 'Despacito' is still hot, I don't see these Latin songs having sustained success beyond 2017.tbh Matt can get away with it due to his Spanish roots, but Little Mix...? This'll end up a massive hit for the novelty of it being Latin-and-slightly-like-Despacito, not something I can get behind
Posted by: JosephStyles 16th August 2017, 09:25 PM
Going by the clip of the Reggaetón Lento remix, Little Mix actually sing in Spanish - more than can be said for Matt Terry despite his Spanish roots!
I don't see any harm anyway, it's mutually beneficial - might see Little Mix get some exposure in the Latin American countries while CNCO are opened up to a new audience over here.
Posted by: mdh 16th August 2017, 09:27 PM
I guess so but there's no denying it's dreadfully trend-hopping. If it does well for them, then good on them regardless I suppose.

Posted by: Capybréra 16th August 2017, 11:21 PM
It's not usually this blatant though. There's a difference between artists following the popular sounds of the moment and making songs in those styles and 2 X Factor acts getting on remixes of existing Latin hits in the space of a month.
Note I'm not saying there's anything *wrong* with this. It's just hilariously transparent, to an even greater extent than trendhopping usually is.
Posted by: Steve201 16th August 2017, 11:33 PM

People don't really care though. It happens in business all the time. HMV for example started selling Fidget Spinners and a cheap "things to do with a fidget spinner" book. It's a phase. It'll pass soon enough. I adore latin and Spanish music though, so I hope more 8nteresting ones can break through too.

There is nothing wrong with people releasing spanish or spanglish remixes, what is wrong with being a trend?
Isn't that how music has always worked?
Britpop was a trend in the 90s, then early noughties was manufactured pop, then in the noughties there was a big indie phase and a growing urban trend

Not saying I disagree that there's anything wrong with it but which popular artists jumped on the bandwagon making their sound suddenly Britpop or Indie?

Note I'm not saying there's anything *wrong* with this. It's just hilariously transparent, to an even greater extent than trendhopping usually is.
Oh yes, no I agree on all points, but I remember after Sorry was a hit the first few tropical pop songs had the same reactions, with people saying it was blatant bandwagon hops (Little Mix did that too of course, just late into the trend...Hi Touch! Hi No More Sad Songs!). We're so used to that trend now that it's become a norm in the charts.

It does seem very obvious and its not as though LM even need to ride on this wave given the success of their last album/ singles.
It feels desperate for a band who don't really need to be

CNCO are also from Syco, so I think it's more Simon trying to get them a UK hit and using his biggest asset, Little Mix, than trying to get Little Mix a hit when they're just coming back off 4 big hits.

The remix is 100% for CNCO promotion and the only reason why Little Mix are doing it is to add another hit on their already long list of hit singles in the UK (and arguably Ireland).
This would not help Little Mix at all in Spanish speaking countries as Regueatton Lento is long done and dusted and I doubt they will re-release it on radio or TV. CNCO have a current single on promotion and charting high in all these countries: Hey DJ featuring Yandel.

IS it weird that the new Chris Brown song is not on Spotify? Top 15 on ITunes.

The song is that short, it's not an error.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th August 2017, 12:29 PM
To be fair, I thought NMSS was a real blatant bandwagon jump for them when they hadn't really so obviously done so before...
Posted by: Lenny 17th August 2017, 12:51 PM
I see that era as more of an artistic direction than jumping on a bandwagon. "Confide In Me" already showed her hand.
Posted by: Bjork 17th August 2017, 12:52 PM
if something, it was commercial suicide for Kylie to go indie
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 17th August 2017, 12:54 PM
Yup.
The stanning over that vile puppet band is ridiculous on here. They are utter shet.
Come back when your manufactured faves (do you even have any faves? Like, genuine question. You seem to talk crap about anything and everything to get a reaction) have done songs in English, Spanish AND Korean.
Sooo they learned both languages or just get told how to sing in them like Girls Alpud did with French or Christina Aguilera with Spanish?
They are band hoppers and smack of desperation. It is an absolute joke. They are no Spice Girls. Spices never chased trends but MADE them.
I do. Lady GaGa/ Katy, except frm their last albums minus 5 songs between them both. I have others who have rarely put a fot wrong too- more adult contemporary stuff like Norah Jones, Coldplay, except their sellout crap, VC, XX, Florence, etc.
Posted by: AngelaKD 17th August 2017, 01:05 PM
CNCO aren't just "from Syco". They too are a manufactured group formed on a Simon Cowell produced music reality show. The show was "La Banda" and it was on Univision, a US based Spanish language channel.

Wasn't Forever a trend chasing era? Hopping on to RnB because Destiny's Child and TLC had become huge? Not to mention in followed Pink's RnB album

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!
This is gonna give them a lot of attention in Latin America and possibly Europe, Aussie as well
Posted by: White Mustang 17th August 2017, 01:24 PM
Touch, the single before? All pop albums have these kinda tropical influences, I thought they were jumping on the bandwagon too late at the time and it was dying off, but loads of artists are still doing it.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th August 2017, 01:35 PM
Well 'Touch' had a touch of individuality, I really do think NMSS is just a blatant identikit copycat of so many identical sounding tropical house/pop songs that had been knocking around for a year or two before it.
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 17th August 2017, 03:04 PM
I can't remember beige, also ran albums sorry so have no idea what that last one is.
However they wanted a more 'mature' sound, basically, and so changed from pop, although tbh it DID trend chase a little, but after setting and establishing the pop sound for the mid to late 90s, they can be excused for trying to remain relevant in their dying days.

I want that to kickstart a trend of that sound and do away with the tropical/Chainsmokers-lite.

It's basically Sorry mixed with that sort of dark pop trend for want of a better word, songs like Jason Derulo - Cheyenne, Taylor Swift - Style and Olly Murs - Kiss Me.

Bieber not doing half as well as I expected (or as everyone was saying!). Doubt he'll be top 40 tomorrow, let alone #1 ;o
Doubt I'll bother with the full version until tomorrow, the preview sounded horrendously generic. Is it as boring and formulaic as the preview in full?
Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 17th August 2017, 05:42 PM
That's because there's problems with iTunes at the moment. Once the servers calm down I'm sure it will fly up again.
Posted by: John-James 17th August 2017, 05:43 PM

Posted by: lewistgreen 17th August 2017, 05:43 PM
f*** me.. some of the reactions here are ridiculous. #16 for a song that has barely been out 90 minutes isn't exactly a bad thing
Posted by: mdh 17th August 2017, 05:44 PM
I know, it's a good performance still, but some people were thinking it'd shift over 40k in 7 hours - so it's not QUITE lived up to the predictions

The preview sold it a bit short imo, it's hardly a revolution for a new pop paradigm but it's not the Chainsmokers lite song we expected
I'd say it's a natural progression from the Purpose era really.
