Ariana Grande could keep hold of the top two singles, with Calvin Harris & Rag'n'Bone Man's Giant looking to challenge following some big promo slots. Expect new entries for Cardi B & Bruno Mars' Please Me, Zedd & Katy Perry's 365 and YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Barker's 11 Minutes

Ariana's thank u next heads for a second week at #1 on the album chart. Avril Lavigne can return to the top 10 with her sixth album Head Above Water, other new releases include Chaka Khan's Hello Happiness, D-Block Europe and Ladytron.

Obviously The Greatest Showman will benefit the most from BRITs with Hugh Jackman performing.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th February 2019, 12:30 PM

I’m thinking TGS / P!nk and Jorja will benefit the most on albums front. Jorja being least known performer if she does a performance which showcases her voice well I think her album will benefit in a big way and it’ll draw her into a whole new audience who may previously be unaware of her solo material.

Calvin on singles should extend his iTunes lead. P!nks new lead single coming may also enter high if that’s part of her performance.

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 18th February 2019, 12:32 PM

The performance isn't until Wednesday evening though, so the effect will mostly be in next week's chart.

Posted by: danG 18th February 2019, 12:38 PM

There'll be a noticeable effect this week too, the performance boosts are very instantaneous on iTunes.
Probably won't be enough for TGS to overtake Ariana this week but it'll have a sales increase.

I hope 'Bloodline' sticks, it's by far and away the best thing Ariana has done recently.

Pretty decent for Avril's album too!

Posted by: SKOB 18th February 2019, 01:06 PM

OOOH could ASIB return to top 3? 10k would be amazing..

YouTube date miss get bit mass with some songs in wrong place like baby shark

Yes c'mon Options, top 10 on Friday plz!

Posted by: Hadji 18th February 2019, 03:06 PM

Looks like Calvin could have a shot at #1 next week due to Wednesdays BRIT effect and I hope Cadet has had a reset and sticks to top 20

Posted by: Charis 18th February 2019, 03:10 PM

where is westlife?

How is Shallow holding up? Has it got a chance of returning to the top 20?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 18th February 2019, 05:14 PM

#17!

It's a pity it's on ACR, it would be #9 otherwise.

Posted by: SKOB 18th February 2019, 05:16 PM

Yes and at the same time that fricking Lost Without You pops up to terrorize top ten every other week, such a shame

Posted by: Bjork 18th February 2019, 05:18 PM

^stupid complain number infinite :/ one day karma will get back to you

Posted by: Glenn 69 18th February 2019, 05:32 PM

I can't see Lost Without You avoiding ACR the week after next.

Which is just as well because the next single is coming on 1st March according to Freya herself on Facebook

Posted by: Bré 18th February 2019, 05:35 PM

Looks like another totally unreliable update with too much missing data to really make any conclusions (CamelPhat as high as #23 again, I wish) - interesting that the 2 Ariana songs are still so close together though and 'Giant' really isn't that far behind now as well, I wouldn't be surprised if Calvin ends up climbing to the top spot next week if his BRITs performance gives him a streaming boost. Hope 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' will stay at #1 for this week at least, I'm liking it quite a bit more than '7 rings' now.

Also Drake's mixtape re-release is higher than I thought it'd be considering it barely impacted the Spotify top 200 at all!

Glad to see Cadet is back on SCR as well, hope he'll manage to stay top 20.

Posted by: mdh 18th February 2019, 05:38 PM

You complain about great rap songs being in the chart, so in that case karma will get to you as well

Posted by: danG 18th February 2019, 05:40 PM

'7 rings' is back ahead of 'break up' on YouTube so that could just push it ahead given how close the two are on Spotify and iTunes (hard to tell what's doing better on Apple Music because of multiple versions but I guess they're close there too).

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th February 2019, 05:44 PM

Hope ASIB remains top 3.

Oscars is next week too isn’t it so should get another boost then

It’s now Gagas second longest running top ten album I believe it took over from Born This Way a few weeks ago.


The Fame miles ahead though.

Posted by: Hadji 18th February 2019, 05:49 PM

I'd welcome that back to SCR. I wonder if the oscars can help change that

Posted by: Hadji 18th February 2019, 05:53 PM

Why are sales for the charity version of LALO contributing towards the original version. Sales for both versions should be separated in that case like with "Lay Me Down" in 2015

Posted by: danG 18th February 2019, 05:54 PM

That confused me too especially as the new version is credited to Red Hot Chili Pipers feat. Tom Walker, but the OCC do whatever the OCC like because the OCC are the OCC.

Posted by: ThePensmith 18th February 2019, 06:14 PM

Busted down to #65 That's not cool.

Posted by: Mart!n 18th February 2019, 06:18 PM

Nice to see The Specials holding up around the top 5 for a 3rd week.

Posted by: Djcheekymagpie 18th February 2019, 06:20 PM

Take pinkfong back top 30 by Friday not on arc just Realise On YouTube witch is missing

Posted by: vancey 18th February 2019, 06:31 PM

Is it the latest trend to have song titles all in lower case? I count six on Monday's update (although three are Ariana). I feel like I'm looking at Limewire's top 40 downloads.

Posted by: Hadji 18th February 2019, 06:33 PM

LALO needs to die already. Should’ve been left in 2018

Posted by: sammy01 18th February 2019, 06:38 PM

I think most people were expecting this drop 2nd week. It is doing very well for them really. I'm no fan but we great for them if they can get it to a silver cert with their tour and more promo.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 18th February 2019, 07:15 PM

Really happy to see picture this get some UK chart success.

Posted by: TheGrinch 18th February 2019, 08:28 PM

Well done to Avril.

Eek at Katy Perry and Zedd not coming for a top 30 debut, truly disastrous start.

Posted by: JosephAvery 18th February 2019, 08:37 PM

Is it though? Zedd's last two singles didn't debut top 40 (and one of them didn't even peak there), and Katy's last two proper singles both debuted at #40...

Posted by: Hadji 18th February 2019, 08:38 PM

As long as Zedd scrapes into the top 40, I’m happy

Posted by: Cqmerqn 18th February 2019, 08:45 PM

I’m hoping that 7 Rings takes #1 this week!

Great to see Avril at #5 too, that was unexpected.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 18th February 2019, 08:47 PM

Always Remember Us This Way back at #94 too.

Posted by: TheGrinch 18th February 2019, 08:51 PM

I’m guessing the video release is the reason why it’s actually this high! This really needs to be a hit for Katy because she should be a big enough act to debut top 20.

Posted by: Charis 18th February 2019, 08:57 PM

how is the ACR working? can i see somewhere the calculations?

Posted by: Theonix 18th February 2019, 08:57 PM

Feels didn't debut top 20 and that peaked at #1. What's your point?

Posted by: Bré 18th February 2019, 09:29 PM

Songs on ACR just have their streaming contribution halved. Normally, 100 premium streams or 600 free streams equal 1 sale unit. On ACR it's 200 or 1,200 respectively.

Posted by: 365 18th February 2019, 09:30 PM

Bon Appetit only debuted at #40 despite instant A list on Radio 1, big capital support and an automatically high place on Hot Hits. 365 has none of those things and is coming to outpeak it. Swish Swish also debuted at 40.

Zedd’s last single took 4 weeks to go top 40, too and ended up being massive.

Posted by: BigMixer 18th February 2019, 09:57 PM

Are you serious right now? Comparing Katy's FLOP singles to a new single that was released with a video + with a lot of support on all streaming services? Not to mention this is Katy's comeback as she hasn't had a new single out in a while. Yes, Zedd is the main artist but this single has Katy Perry all over it. Sounds like something from her previous album and also the video couldn't be more Katy Perry.

The fact is - they are flopping with this single, and you simply cannot spin it around making it seem they are doing okay. Not debuting in the top 30 is horrendous.

Posted by: danG 18th February 2019, 10:01 PM

Let's at least wait a month before calling '365' a flop. Most songs now climb to their peak, there's still a good chance this will be a reasonably big top 10 hit.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 18th February 2019, 10:14 PM

Agreed; you can't really write off a song after less than a week.

I mean the majority of songs take a while to take off and grow to their peak

Posted by: 365 18th February 2019, 10:25 PM

I think it’s fairly safe to say that Katy Perry’s name isn’t what it once was and she can’t sell singles off of just her name the way she used to be able to sadly. To have a hit she will have to do what most other artists have to do and wait for airplay to build up and for the song to be moved up high on the playlists.

Posted by: Defaze 18th February 2019, 11:21 PM

This is a little dramatic. I wouldn't even consider it an underperformance so far. Off the back of 'Prism' perhaps, but 'Witness' was a pretty disastrous era and the general public were never going to be that receptive to new Katy Perry music. I'm also struggling to see why it shouldn't be compared to 'Bon Appetit'? It too was a new single that received instant radio/streaming support.

Posted by: 777666jason 19th February 2019, 08:14 AM

So that charity track thing didn't even scrape top 100 in the mids oops

Posted by: Djcheekymagpie 19th February 2019, 12:31 PM

Officials chart got back to me about Tom Walker

The charity record with the artist credit “Red Hot Chilli Pipers ft Tom Walker” isl Tom Walker singing a Tom Walker song, but with bagpipes, so this is correctly combined with the original release and appears in the chart as Leave A Light On by Tom Walker

Posted by: Hadji 19th February 2019, 12:51 PM

At least now, iTunes can’t help a song back to SCR

Posted by: SLlewellyn 19th February 2019, 01:30 PM

Odd to combine them when Tom Walker is only credited as a featured artist though, but hey ho!

Posted by: slowdown73 19th February 2019, 08:46 PM

I would agree. I think she will struggle now. The momentum to her career seems to have been lost since witness.

Posted by: pippa 19th February 2019, 09:44 PM

Katy's days of big hits and big album sales have past but she could still achieve moderate success.

Posted by: 365 19th February 2019, 11:02 PM

I did expect this to be doing slightly better but only because i expected more support straight away. I didn’t expect Radio 1 and especially Capital not be straight on board, as well as Spotify placing it so low on Hot Hits. Particularly, off the back of The Middle’s success. So yeah, it seems like it’ll be one to be patient with.

Posted by: sammy01 19th February 2019, 11:13 PM

Katy just needed to properly disappear for a couple of years. People needed to miss her, she could have come back with a bang then.

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 19th February 2019, 11:18 PM

The problem is that Katy's not getting any younger, and ageism sadly seems to be a thing with pop music listeners. About mid 30 seems to be the cutoff for pop artists and they're less likely to be playlisted by R1/Capital etc, which is really annoying.

Having said that, Pink's 39 and she's still doing very well.

Posted by: Envoirment 19th February 2019, 11:26 PM

I think the song just needs to be given a bit more time to take off? The last 3 big hits of Zedd's all took 7-9 weeks to reach their peak positions and debuted at #33/#53/#92 respectively (Stay/The Middle/Starving).

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 20th February 2019, 01:15 AM

Classic Buzzjack. Ready to call a song that is 5 days old a flop just coz it's off to a slow start. :')

People really need to stop saying something is a "flop" if it's charting until about week 6 or 7 when we know for sure it's not taking off or whatever. In this day and age, songs take ages to take off. Y'all know this and you still wanna dub it a flop as soon as it's been released.

Posted by: Codester X 20th February 2019, 04:41 AM

But this isn’t off the back of The Middle’s success. It’s off the back of the Lost In Japan remix that didn’t really make much of an impact, and Happy Now didn’t exactly set the charts alight either. Even then I’m glad that the chart climbs are starting to be a little more organic.

Posted by: TheGrinch 20th February 2019, 12:37 PM

Avril will probably miss the top 10 then especially with Brits!

Posted by: danG 20th February 2019, 12:38 PM

20+2=

Posted by: Charis 20th February 2019, 12:43 PM

11 x 2 = ?


thanks brother!

Posted by: 777666jason 20th February 2019, 01:37 PM

Shame its not a bad album for Avril got the perfect blend of old and new Avril, bit strange the physical version only has a solo version of dumb blonde was it a last minute thing by the label to feature Nicki

Is baby shark back

Posted by: Robbie 20th February 2019, 02:32 PM

I'm guessing 'needy' by Ariana is now outselling 'bloodline'? The latter was a new entry on Monday while 'needy' vanished from the charts but I know sales were close between the two.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th February 2019, 02:34 PM

Oh no. I want 'Bloodline' there instead!

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 02:59 PM

Advice in the top 15 and TAU in the top 30 I just hope Zedd can hang on in the top 40 and Calvin could reclaim #3 by Friday due to tonight’s BRITs and I hope it’s enough to get him #1 next week

Posted by: danG 20th February 2019, 03:35 PM

indeed. there's only a few hundred between them but I think it's more likely that 'needy' will remain ahead.

Posted by: Codester X 20th February 2019, 03:37 PM

lololololol I forgot about the BRITs

looks like it will be george Ezra - shotgun taking that last top 10 spot then?

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 03:42 PM

Oh god no. I hope he performs DMN or HMG

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 03:44 PM

I imagine it will be Shotgun, as he's been nominated for Best Single for that.

The Brits are supposed to be celebration of the last year in music, they don't always need to perform new material!

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 03:46 PM

They’ve apparently got a surprise performer tonight. If so, I hope it ain’t Anne-Marie

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 03:50 PM

They'd have announced Anne Marie if she was performing, it's not particularly special.

Wasn't The Chainsmokers/Coldplay a couple of years ago unannounced?

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 03:58 PM

it has to be something bigger than Anne Marie
Katy/Zedd or Bruno/Cardi maybe?

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 04:00 PM

I hope it’s Zedd & Katy

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 04:02 PM

could also be Ariana maybe?

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 04:04 PM

Oh god no

Posted by: Bjork 20th February 2019, 04:07 PM

do people care so much about the brits anymore? this year nominations seem like a joke
especially with Anne Marie nominated for best album
kinda shows that labels can buy brits nominations if they want

Posted by: Djcheekymagpie 20th February 2019, 04:08 PM

No Brit awards album out this year

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th February 2019, 04:22 PM

I'm thinking this is most likely.

Anne-Marie as a surprise performer. Imagine the collective sigh.

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 04:31 PM

I know. Why not? What’s going on?

Posted by: pippa 20th February 2019, 04:31 PM

Take That Odyssey appears to have gained a few valentines sales last weekend taking it to a Top 25 position.
Its chart run is better than i thought it would have managed based on their previous Wonderland chart run.

Posted by: Codester X 20th February 2019, 04:39 PM

That special slot has to be either Ariana or Cardi/Bruno doing Please Me, as far as promo goes those are the most probable outcomes

lol @ people thinking Anne-Marie. does she even have any material out to promote other than whatever she’s nominated for?

Posted by: 777666jason 20th February 2019, 04:45 PM

Apparntly ariana was doing the late late show last night so although she would have time for a flight i wouldnt think she would be energetic enough for a performance

Posted by: SKOB 20th February 2019, 04:48 PM

Might also be Sam Smith & Normani

Posted by: Jordan Lee 20th February 2019, 05:04 PM

OMG I really really hope it’s Ariana

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 05:17 PM

Shawn Mendes has been spotted in London

Posted by: SKOB 20th February 2019, 05:34 PM

Hope he wears only Calvins

Posted by: Mart!n 20th February 2019, 06:10 PM

Madonna has been spotted in London

Posted by: Moses 20th February 2019, 06:14 PM

Gente de Zona has been spotted in London!

Posted by: 365 20th February 2019, 06:47 PM

Katy and Zedd aren’t big enough to be billed as a surprise I don’t think. It’ll be Ariana or Cardi/Bruno I reckon.

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 06:48 PM

The Brits haven't actually said there will be a surprise at all though, it's just speculation.

I imagine nothing will happen.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 20th February 2019, 06:49 PM

If there is a secret performance tonight, I hope it's someone debuting something new; and not Ariana, Cardi/Bruno, or Zedd/Katy.

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 06:51 PM

Yungblud/Halsey with all of Blink-182

Posted by: 777666jason 20th February 2019, 06:51 PM

Then what will Calvin Harris wear

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 06:53 PM

*Adam Wiles

Posted by: GTH 20th February 2019, 07:01 PM

Buying the Brit award has always been quite obvious. You can usually tell who is going to get an award based on who is performing.

Brits are always good for some entertainment value. I watch them more now for the performance hiccups etc than the actual awards themselves.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 20th February 2019, 07:47 PM

🤣🤣🤣

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 08:01 PM

Pink has said she will have a surprise guest performing with her

Posted by: aidan755 20th February 2019, 09:42 PM

This is a fact. Lily Allen wrote about it in her book. It's all industry politics.

Posted by: Adamski94 20th February 2019, 10:26 PM

Could P!nk be a possible for next week? #1 Itunes just needs to hit streaming

Posted by: JosephAvery 20th February 2019, 10:29 PM

Your opinions alone don't decide the BRIT nominations. Has it occurred to you that other people might actually enjoy the Anne-Marie album? :') I mean, in my opinion, it's a great pop album filled with loads of hit-worthy tracks and bags of personality.

Posted by: danG 20th February 2019, 10:29 PM

It'd have to be high on Hot Hits UK, P!nk doesn't have a huge streaming fanbase (What About Us had a https://kworb.net/spotify/track/0Qh38w01QRXK6KHIv0e3hb.html so I'd expect the new one to perform similarly)

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2019, 10:35 PM

Calvin or P!nk should get #1 next week thanks to the BRITs. Hope one of them gets it

Posted by: Steve201 20th February 2019, 11:12 PM

Can't see Pink starting quickly enough on Spotify to enter at no1 and Calvin is too far behind on Spotify to have such an enormous boost although I'd like to be proven wrong on both accounts!

Posted by: M477h3w 21st February 2019, 12:41 AM

P!nk deserves another #1.

Posted by: mdh 21st February 2019, 09:43 AM

I don't see why Anne-Marie shouldn't have got nominated for Best Album? Surely a *Brit* award should be representative of the music that the general public thought was the best, therefore Anne-Marie was an obvious choice to get nominated.

Posted by: Glenn 69 21st February 2019, 10:04 AM

I also hope Calvin gets a chart boost this week and think it would be nice to see Pink in the Top 10

Was surprised Jorja Smith beat Anne Marie and Jess Glynne to the Gong and surprised Lily Allen beat Dua Lipa to a place on the shortlist

I also thought Freya Ridings might have been up for British Breakthrough Act given that at the time of the nominations being announced she had the same number of hits as Tom Walker. I really hope she isn't a one hit wonder

Shame Zedd/Katy might miss out this week.

Great to see there already being a Brits impact for The 1975's album - I wasn't expecting one until next week's chart!

Posted by: Hadji 21st February 2019, 03:30 PM

How has 7R overtook BUWYG,IB when the latter has been ahead on both iTunes and Spotify? I wonder if Calvin can reclaim #3 tomorrow and I hope Zedd can hang onto the top 40. Also, boo at Cadet dropping a place since yesterday

Posted by: dobbo 21st February 2019, 04:05 PM

Yes keep going Blueface.

Posted by: Rob 21st February 2019, 04:06 PM

Could Avril miss the Top 10? Is she far from #11?

Posted by: Djcheekymagpie 21st February 2019, 04:13 PM

Lot YouTube dater missing this week

Posted by: Mart!n 21st February 2019, 05:10 PM

To be honest with a lot of data missing, it just feels like a pointless update, break up... will end up at #1 tomorrow.

Posted by: danG 21st February 2019, 05:20 PM

Actually, '7 rings' is doing https://kworb.net/youtube/insights/uk_daily.html on YouTube so I think the addition of YT will only help '7 rings' remain at #1.

Posted by: Hadji 21st February 2019, 05:28 PM

You mean return to #1?

Posted by: Bjork 21st February 2019, 05:29 PM

7 rings is only 20K behind on Spotify
but it's ahead on YT and also on iTunes when you combined the separate versions of 7 rings
on Apple there's no way to know, girlfriend is #1 but 7 rings has two versions so might be close combined

Posted by: JosephAvery 21st February 2019, 05:32 PM

Remain at #1 from today's mids.

Posted by: pippa 21st February 2019, 05:32 PM

Really did expect Take That to improve once again in today's update.

Posted by: StephenN18 21st February 2019, 07:12 PM

I hope not, HMV stores are still not stocking it. You can only get it via Amazon and digitally.
