Hello Midge!
Great to see "No Tears Left To Cry" in the top 10!
I also like the big gains for "Nice For What", "Answerphone", "I Like It", "Miracle", "Everybody Wants To Be Famous", "Sit Next To Me", "Magic", "Rose-Colored Boy", "Saturday Sun", "Shotgun", "Let Me", "Done For Me" and "All Or Nothing"!
And for the debuts and re-entries that I like are: "Lonely Together", "Familiar", "Happier", "Psycho", "Bloom" and "We Got Love"!
Great chart overall!

Posted by: Maz! 5th May 2018, 02:19 PM

Great top 10!
I have faith in you Bloom will be rising!

Posted by: Dexton 7th May 2018, 02:42 PM

Friend Of Mine #1 again Ariana's overtook this week for me though

Lovely for I Like It to be climbing. I'm not a big fan of Cardi B but this is really growing on me and could maayybe sway me over I'm not sure yet. I thought Finesse would make me go "yeah ok I like her" like Little Mix's Power did for me with Stormzy but Bruno couldn't do it

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 8th May 2018, 07:33 PM

Wow, you like that Kanye track, I found it a bit of a mess. Maybe it will grow in time though.

I'm enjoying Familiar so nice to see it enter here and Tongue got a small increase too

Posted by: Midge 11th May 2018, 02:57 PM

Hello all, thanks for your comments! Prepare for Eurovision to take over quite a bit for the next couple of weeks at least, it's always a huge event in my calendar To my chart, it is literally like the Christmas songs in the UK singles chart

Thanks for your comments Sergej! A lot of these are still on the move upwards, but be patient given the time of year


"Bloom" is indeed on the rise! Quite a big jump this week even with the Eurovision domination (21 songs out of the 100 in the new chart are Eurovision, and that number is likely to increase next Friday).


We shared the same posthumous Avicii number 1 - for the same number of weeks as well! It was so fitting; I was rinsing it and it is a great song. A shame that I didn't realise it's full potential until something drastic like that happened.

Waiting for "I Like It" (and "She Loves Control") to be properly announced/promoted now - they're stalling/falling in my chart now at the moment, though a lot of that is Eurovision domination. They're both likely to be top of the pile once that dies down. Not sure I'm gonna be like that with Cardi (how you said), I liked her Bruno feature and I like this but nothing else so far.


The Kanye track is bizarre! I love how soulful it is, and then that last 30 seconds is just wtf haha. Can't take it too seriously but a nice debut nonetheless as it had quite an impact on me.

Thanks for commenting again! New chart up shortly.

Hi Midge,
There's only one thing I can say:FUEGO

Posted by: Sven10 12th May 2018, 12:43 PM

Hi Midge,

Mercy, Fuego

Other great new entrances in the Upper 40: Netta Barzilai and Jess Glynne !

Bubbling Under : Troye Sivan (Bloom) and Christina Aquilera

Great chart again !!

Posted by: Midge 18th May 2018, 11:39 AM

Thanks for the replies! You're clearly going to love today's new chart if you love "Fuego"

Really liking the new Jess Glynne, Sven! Surprised by the hate for it on this website. I hope it charts well. Potential number 1 for me.

Have to say, really NOT liking "Accelerate" by Christina Aguilera - it was lucky to chart really, based on impact more than a good impression

hi Midge!

you really love Eurovision then! not surprised to see 'Fuego' at #1 here, it is rather good and I wanted that to win, though Netta is quite good also. good to see Madame Monsieur in your top five too.
not really fussed on the Arctic Monkeys song having heard it a few times on the radio, kind of plods along really.
good to see Queen Jess in your top 20.
shame our entry couldn't do any better than 24th but the song is quite poor no matter how good she was at performing it, we really need our top writers on our next entry even if they have to go by a pseudonym to avoid the embarrassment of being associated with Eurovision (if that is even allowed).

good chart!

Posted by: Dexton 18th May 2018, 01:32 PM

Lot's of Eurovision here. I've never followed it (or been interested in following it) although Heroes from 2015 was a nice song... and the only one I can really remember The Australia entries are usually a complete bore too.

Kodaline Top 10 Follow Your Fire didn't last long in my chart but I still go back to it a little bit. They've got a really great back catalog already though

Familiar & Better Now almost Top 40 Shame that Shotgun is falling though Could George Ezra climb any more now it's getting the single treatment?

Happier climbing... not sure if I think that's good or bad Do you know if there's a remix version coming anytime soon? I had a feeling he'd release a Kelly Clarkson version or something and debut it at the BBMA's but his performance will be from Ireland so he won't even be there

Hello Midge!
Now that's a Eurovision takeover!
Love the big gain for "I'll Be There"!
And a lot of debuts and re-entries I really like: most Eurovision songs, "Quarter Past Midnight", "La Cintura", "Hunger", "If You're Over Me" and "Four Out Of Five"
Great chart overall!

Posted by: BridgeCow 19th May 2018, 02:15 PM

Hi!

Loving this Eurovision takeover especially Fuego at number 1, suchhhhh a tune, robbed etc...
Mercy was quite a highlight for me too, kinda surprised at how much I've gone back to it this week
I really can't get into I'll Be There annoyingly her yodelling grates me so bad even tho I'm usually a sucker for Jess Glynne tunes, either way I guess it's nice that it looks like she'll get a decent hit with it

Great Chart!

Posted by: Midge 21st May 2018, 10:49 AM

Hello all - thank you for your responses

Haha, yes I do love my Eurovision! I think it gets a little bigger each year, though it felt a struggle initially this year as most of the first half of songs revealed were not good
Glad somebody else appreciates the new Jess - I really don't think her 'yodelling' is as abrasive as others are suggesting but different strokes Seems a solid pop song to me.
I really do agree re: UK Eurovision. Ed Sheeran has allegedly said he's interested in writing an entry - could either turn out very well or atrociously I guess!

Thanks for commenting


I'm almost upset at your Eurovision dislike (okay I'm not really a soft touch like that haha) - come on though, Dami Im's final performance of "Sound Of Silence" elevated that to all sorts of incredible!
"Honest" and "Raging" are my favourite Kodaline songs to date - and this one is great too! Not sure if it can climb further; perhaps would've sailed into the top 10 easier if Eurovision hadn't existed. In fact it'd be top 5 this week!!
"Familiar" is a huge grower - just have to get past how unauthentic it is for Liam Payne to be doing it "Better Now" is great too - and "Shotgun" can now take more of a limelight now that Eurovision is over and likely to hear it everywhere. It has kind of just been charting based on listening to the album a lot so far - and knowing it's a single! So yes expect all 3 to climb over the next few weeks.

I quite like "Happier" - I do find him so hit and miss. I have no idea if a remix version is coming; to be honest, what's the point now? The album has sold astronomically well. Maybe a dance remix could help though. A Kelly Clarkson duet version would be nice but I think they really put their efforts into getting the Christmas number 1 really with "Perfect" (still not a fan).

Thanks for commenting!


Hello! I think it was because of you I even checked out "La Cintura" - great track - likely to climb somewhat! As is the new Bastille - both of these tracks making bigger and bigger impressions on me!

Thank you for commenting


Hello!
A Eurovision fan as well as a dance fan? *takes note* "Fuego" and "Mercy" are really the highlights for me this year - my 10/10s. "Toy" grabs a higher peak than "Mercy" did by simply impacting more this week alone; "Mercy" felt like it could've been a lot more of a moment than it was at the contest.

Jess continues to divide opinions! As I've said above, I don't think the yodelling is as abrasive as people are suggesting, but then that is my opinion - I think it's a great, catchy, uplifting little pop number that stands out among all the dross that is popular these days!

Thank you for commenting!

Drake Top 10 Jess Glynne is gradually growing on me too, to the point I don't mind it when it comes on the radio at work (which happens to be multiple times a day for some reason)

OOHHH SATURDAY SUN A Vance bop that has been hanging around #41 on my chart for a while probably, another song that's been on the radio a lot

Love the climb for Bastille, hopefully it'll be higher next week too

Sangria Wine wins the award for most disappointing collab so far this year, although James Bay & Alicia Keys isn't far behind... literally

Posted by: Sven10 27th May 2018, 11:12 AM

Hi Midge,

Still a lot of EuroSongs
Best new entries in the Upper 40:
Liam Payne/J.Balvin and Troye Sivan

Great chart !!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 27th May 2018, 05:12 PM

Hi Midge,

Nice to see the Eurovision domination! Fuego is really growing on me, Together and Toy are great also (shame to see the massive drops ) Oh and My Lucky Day is amazing *.*

No Pressure entering is great to see as well! Heard it for the first time yesterday, it probably won't make my chart this week but probably next week

And of course I'm loving Solo also - probably my favourite from this era so far, but then again I said the same about I Miss You and I'm fairly sick of that now

Great chart

Posted by: Midge 2nd June 2018, 01:50 PM

Hi all - thanks for your replies again!

I hope Jess continues to grow on you

I do like "Saturday Sun" but it isn't in the same league as "We're Going Home" or "Lay It All On Me" from the album. Still a decent effort.

I quite like both "Sangria Wine" and "Us" though I wouldn't say I love them by any means, at the moment anyway.


Eurovision is more than just 1 week a year for me! Particularly during this decade it has become a huge thing for me!

I do really like "Familiar", and quite like "Bloom" - I'm not feeling so much connection to the new Troye tracks though.


I think outside Eurovision "fortnight" as I'll call it, there are few songs that dominate that high end of the chart from Eurovision... this year I think the three have been "Fuego", "Mercy" and "Monsters" to stand out outside of the contest, with "Toy" and "Together" to a lesser extent. DEFINITELY my favourite 5 from this contest.

Glad to see The Kooks mentioned! What do you think of "All The Time"? I really like it - more than "No Pressure" personally!

"Solo" is definitely my least favourite from this era (including "Disconnect") though it is growing on me. I like how Ace Of Base it is but they really have ruined it with the stupid SFX. I can't take it seriously. And tbh I'm not a huge fan of Demi as a musician - she's a nice girl though!
