Jess to be number 1 again please!
Also hope Eyes Shut and Chunky slay the top 40.

Posted by: #psychic7 Nov 13 2015, 12:11 AM

Really hope 'Chunky' can manage a Top 40 place, though my hopes aren't high. Great track <3

Interesting 3-way scrap between Justin, Adele & Jess this week! The former has a great shot although "Take Me Home" hitting the top wouldn't be surprising given the massive CIN + XF promo this week

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 13 2015, 12:14 AM

Jess Glynne is on X Factor this weekend?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 13 2015, 12:16 AM

'Sorry' for number 1 this please and for Justin to do the double. I can't believe how impressed I am with Justin in this Nu-Skriplo era.

Posted by: lewistgreen Nov 13 2015, 12:19 AM

Yes performing Take Me Home and One Direction are performing Perfect.

Ewww at some of the Spice Girls wrong opinions being written in the last iTunes thread.

Holler is a bop. It may be R&B but I still think the song has a "Spiciness" to it. The performance of it during their Return of the Spice Girls tour (2007/2008) was a highlight of the whole set list! I'll just leave this here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIhHY0by0K8 ), for no one to watch (If anyone watches, bear in mind that it's not professionally filmed).


You two are beyond saving! Most of the people I've come across "irl" or online, when talking about the Spice Girls, they've either said they love/like VF, or at least find it to be one of their more tolerable songs. Never known anyone to hate it before you two, honestly. Oh well, as the saying goes, there's no accounting for taste. x (Leave Viva Forever alone, it's beautiful!!)


No Toby, YOU are sh!tty trash. And you know it! ;o

~~~

... you guys thought you'd get away with a Spice Girls conversation / criticism without me weighing in? Sigh! It was nice to read some of the more positive opinions though.


Anyway, now let's go back to this highly boring looking release week.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 13 2015, 07:09 AM

86 Format:B - Chunky (Radio Edit)

would really like this to go top 40, it's such a banging tune

Posted by: Shivering Adam❄️ Nov 13 2015, 09:20 AM

Would love it if JB somehow breifly knocked Adele off for a week but she seems unstoppable for the next few weeks.
Getting Eyes Shut top 40 would be awesome and that Chunky song too.
Hopefully Jess on ha climb

46. KSI feat. JME - Keep Up

Does anybody think it's possible that Jess Glynne could beat both Adele and Justin Bieber to number one this week? I remember last year the much interior Wake Me Up by Gareth Malone's choir managed to reach number one with all the attention around Children In Need and it sold 100,000 copies.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 13 2015, 09:49 AM

Anything is possible, after all it's the Children in Need song, it's not really about Jess. Although a great performance and video by her of course!

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 10:24 AM

Justin Bieber - Purpose
2. Sorry (and #62, Latino remix #542)

245. Trust

Love Yourself has supposedly been playlisted by Capital so we could be looking at another huge smash hit for Justin very soon at this rate, especially as it's already #6 on Spotify! (sorry dance fans, this is an Ed Sheeran-penned ballad)

One Direction - Made In The A.M.
20. Perfect (and #88 and #952)
24. Love You Goodbye

30. History

Both artists having their entire albums in the top 300!

NOW 92 is the reason why this has been pushed forward seven weeks

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 13 2015, 11:30 AM

I think Justin can beat 1D at the album chart... he is doing it WW, with his streaming power and all.. he is number 1 on ITunes also.. I don't know. I'll be glad for him.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 13 2015, 12:31 PM

That or "I'll Show You" should be picked as his third single from the album

Posted by: John-James Nov 13 2015, 12:46 PM

Not now 1D have an X-Factor performance

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 13 2015, 12:48 PM

Having just heard it, it MUST be 'Been You'.

Posted by: MANGØ Nov 13 2015, 12:56 PM

Didn't someone on the previous page say 'Love Yourself' is already on the Capital playlist? Which makes it almost certain as the next single.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 13 2015, 12:58 PM

It was added to their spot-play playlist for JBB promo, not necessarily a single yet

Posted by: *Ben* Nov 13 2015, 01:05 PM

LMAO the NOW series ruined their release strategy

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 13 2015, 01:16 PM

He is selling less digital, HDD confirms it in the US, he is selling 16% and they are selling around 33% previous albums of course... so... If on Digital he can beat them maybe he is getting a real chance... WW he will do it, UK... Let's see, His singles this era are HUGE while 1D ones are... not so much.

Posted by: John-James Nov 13 2015, 01:21 PM

When was the last time an artist had 3 songs in the official Top 10 at the same?

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 01:58 PM

I can still see 1D making #1 in the UK (the US is totally irrelevant, different market and not comparable, Justin's always done way better over there), but it could be close. I'm happy either way as both albums are excellent.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 13 2015, 02:04 PM

oh didn't realise Keep Up was getting released today. Hopefully it goes top 40 to justify its NOW 92 inclusion. (Lamborghini was a better song though)

Posted by: Serg Mix Nov 13 2015, 02:13 PM

US is really not irrelevant and 1D always did better in UK so..? 1+1=3?

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 02:14 PM

I'm not sure what you're getting at here 1D have always done better in the UK, correct, hence my point of them probably being #1. The US sales aren't relevant to the UK album chart.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 13 2015, 02:15 PM

I think he meant irrelevant in terms of using it to compare.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 13 2015, 02:15 PM

Wow Ellie's album down to #14 already...

Has Adam Lambert's song been released today? very odd.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 02:58 PM

#14 is fine. Besides, we have an iTunes Album Chart thread for that, you know

Justin Bieber - Purpose

Instant grats for both albums falling unsurprisingly.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 03:07 PM

My point still stands, no need to be rude.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 13 2015, 03:10 PM

Well the rest of my post mentioned Adam Lambert's release - but you didnt mention that and you always dissect posts dont you. Yaaaaawn.
Grow up.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 03:12 PM

You're the one overreacting here, please tone down the attitude. Sure, you did mention Adam Lambert's release, but I focused on another section which can be posted in another thread in this section. I don't see the problem. Get over yourself please.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 13 2015, 03:13 PM

Do you have a personal vendetta against Joseph? You seem to out of your way to nit-pick his tweets!

Sam Smith looks like he could be leaving the top 10 this week. I really hope so. I'm sure he'll fall pretty quickly when Mockingjay takes up loads of the cinema hype from Spectre next week.
9 Sam Smith Writing's on the Wall

Coldplay seem like they are actually stabilizing a bit too, of course, they'll fall tonight with CiN and what not.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 13 2015, 03:14 PM

I look forward to you 'correcting' everyones posts, maybe go back and mention the Spice Girls.
Bore off.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 13 2015, 03:15 PM

The evidence suggests quite the reverse.

(Glad Jess is climbing so quickly )

Posted by: Jaÿ Nov 13 2015, 03:21 PM

I've asked you politely to tone it down and you're ignoring me. Drop the vendetta and get back on topic. Thanks.

Adam Lambert Another Lonely Night #1121

I assume this hasnt been released yet?

5. Jess Glynne - Take Me Home (BBC Children In Need Single 2015) 0.3834

The Admin workers at Apple will be seeing "Jess Glynne - Take Me Home (BBC Children In Need Single 2015)" flodding through their database this weekend.

I've always wondered how the sales of songs are tallied up on iTunes, it must be really painstaking if there is someone who has to count the sales one by one.

Posted by: *Ben* Nov 13 2015, 07:44 PM

The computer does it, we are in 2015 and not in the 1980s

Posted by: Red. Nov 13 2015, 07:50 PM

Brilliant performance of Army by Ellie Goulding on CiN. Hopefully gets a little increase on iTunes.

Posted by: John-James Nov 13 2015, 07:58 PM

Looks like Ellie can sing decently after all

Posted by: UltraChristmas Nov 13 2015, 08:21 PM

That Ellie performance was stunning, hope Army gets a big boost

Posted by: Ethan Nov 13 2015, 08:29 PM

g'won format b keep on climbing!

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 13 2015, 08:30 PM

20 99 Souls

Dark green as well. Maybe it can stick decently or even climb this week?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 13 2015, 08:58 PM

Surely Army should be higher than #152?

Posted by: Ryan. Nov 13 2015, 09:18 PM

It was #154 just after the performance, I assume iTunes must just be slow to update as I doubt it'll have only moved up 2 places - it was a fantastic performance so I'm sure it will move up at least into the top 100.

Posted by: #psychic7 Nov 13 2015, 09:41 PM

Jess Glynne coming for iTunes #1 tonight

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 13 2015, 10:55 PM

4. Jess Glynne - Take Me Home (BBC Children In Need Single)

Er, not quite.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 13 2015, 11:39 PM

I think iTunes is being a bit iffy this evening. Jess Glynne surely would have been 3 by now, and Ellie only climbing to 132 seems odd to me... 5SOS have also not moved since their performance an hour ago

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 13 2015, 11:59 PM

3 Jess Glynne - Take Me Home (BBC Children In Need Single 2015) 0.6920 0.4095

Excellent boost for Jess after a gorgeous performance earlier!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 12:11 AM

Other than Jess, the only thing that seems to have had a decent boost is Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb'. Which is at 74. Ellie peaked at 132 and has already fallen to 135.

I thought CIN usually have pretty decent boosts?

Posted by: UltraChristmas Nov 14 2015, 12:22 AM

I think if Ellie was on a couple of hours later she would have gotten a big boost. I only just about caught her performance as it was on so early into the show so I think many people might have missed it unfortunately

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 14 2015, 12:30 AM

I've got a feeling that viewing figures for Children In Need may have dropped very sharply tonight during the show.

Some songs by Eagles Of Death Metal might appear in the top 1500 over the weekend.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 14 2015, 09:09 AM

Will Jess make iTunes #1 after her XFactor performance? Looks like it may be a close run thing, but I think she will....

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 09:28 AM

3 Jess Glynne Take Me Home (BBC Children In Need Single 2015)
28 Years & Years Eyes Shut
71 Selena Gomez Same Old Love
81 Miley Cyrus The Climb
134 Ellie Goulding Army
168 5 Seconds of Summer Hey Everybody!
211 Shane Filan I Could Be (Duet with Nadine Coyle)


Only Jess and Miley got notable boosts. I really expected Ellie to enter the top 40 on iTunes and Years & Years to climb a good 10 places.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 11:44 AM

Sorry is now 0.9386 behind Adele, and ahead on streaming, if he sustains or continue's to increase on iTunes I can see him getting #1 on Friday. Let's not forget Radio 1 B-listing begins from Monday!

Posted by: HausofKubrick Nov 14 2015, 12:14 PM

PLEASE.

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 14 2015, 12:48 PM

Assuming Adele does nothing in the week leading up to her Album release

Posted by: HausofKubrick Nov 14 2015, 01:09 PM

Bieber now up to ~0.95 of Adele combined

Posted by: Danvember Nov 14 2015, 01:11 PM

that's basically confirmation that he'll be #1 this week then. 'Sorry' is definitely deserving (in terms of popularity) of a #1 peak anyway.

Posted by: Heathyheath_ Nov 14 2015, 01:20 PM

Honestly I find Sorry so much better than What Do You Mean and I think it completely deserves the number one spot. I guess it depends on the streaming gap. I don't want to rule out Hello retaining its spot as hype builds towards the release of 25 but things look good for Bieber.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 14 2015, 02:38 PM

It's weird how the UK is the country where Adele's lead is the shortest

Please switch places again. I reckon it will after tomorrow's X Factor

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 14 2015, 03:33 PM

Posted by: Serg Mix Nov 14 2015, 04:05 PM

Cmon Jess big grower on me.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 14 2015, 04:42 PM

Little Mix seem to be on the cusp of breaking back into the top 10. I want it to get higher, it's rapidly grown on me.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 05:26 PM

I'm pretty sure they are #10 or #9 combined since they still have a second version at #54. Their streaming needs to greatly improve though.

Posted by: *Ben* Nov 14 2015, 05:40 PM

In fact #8 combined

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 14 2015, 05:43 PM

Yeah, they will be but being in that top 10 on iTunes itself would be pretty great for its visibility.

Streaming consistently hacks me off.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 06:05 PM

I agree, though it's always good to see something safely in the top 10. Unless it falls loads tonight, Sunday Brunch performance tomorrow might give them that little push needed.

Posted by: Red. Nov 14 2015, 06:09 PM

Never wanted Beiber to be #1 so much before in my life.

Just to save us from the Adele borefest staying at #1 anymore.

Plus its a much better song

Posted by: vidcapper Nov 14 2015, 06:23 PM

I wrote "I thought Fleur was performing "Sax" on Sunday?" must take a really immature person to do something like that.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 14 2015, 07:41 PM

This has been noticed already and it's been brought up in the mod forum that someone has edited your post there (although nothing's come of it so far unfortunately)

Posted by: Shivering Adam❄️ Nov 14 2015, 07:47 PM

Sorry for being off topic but I thought a black banner appears when mods edit posts? And there's no line to say Hazza has edited it either...

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 14 2015, 07:50 PM

Mods don't have an edit line on posts so unfortunately it makes it quite difficult to tell who it was. If Hazza did it himself, an edit line would indeed appear.

The thing is that it's not even remotely funny and it doesn't make any sense either, especially when you put in the context of the iTunes chart.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 15 2015, 12:12 AM

I think it's pretty funny to be fair.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 15 2015, 12:12 AM

You're right, it's not funny and it's incredibly immature, hence why we're trying to get to the bottom of it right now!

I hope Adele can pick back up, I will be thoroughly annoyed of Bieber is #1 with that abombination

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 15 2015, 03:50 AM

ARIANA! Not really much of a fan of Lauren, but I am SO happy 'One Last Time' is receiving a huge boost. About to catch up on XF so hopefully Lauren surprises me (like, she's obviously a good singer, I just think her voice is a bit "heard it all before", so haven't really seen much as to why she's so special).

Posted by: andibob Nov 15 2015, 07:46 AM

I second this. I just don't get it!

No one with ears can say Sorry is a bad song, it's genius in every way.

Posted by: John-James Nov 15 2015, 10:39 AM

I've already asked but not sure anyone saw, when was the last time an artist had 3 official Top 10's at the same time?

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 15 2015, 10:41 AM

Rihanna in late 2010 springs to mind - Only Girl (In The World), What's My Name and Who's That Chick were top 10 simultaneously during her ultimate imperial phase, the time when the entire young female population of the UK dyed their hair bright red to emulate her look of the time.

Posted by: John-James Nov 15 2015, 10:45 AM

Thank you!

Even though Who's That Chick isn't her song

Michael Jackson after his death in 2009?

Posted by: John-James Nov 15 2015, 12:23 PM

Nope, I checked that!

He was #2 and #10

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 15 2015, 01:08 PM

Bieber sliding back now (ooo err missus)...
Guess Jess will move to at least #2 tonight (hope so).

1D are the wild card....

Ohhh, so they're doing a last minute replacement for Brandon Flowers!?

10 Little Mix - Love Me Like You Sunday Brunch being useful.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo Nov 15 2015, 01:44 PM

No, they're both appearing

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 15 2015, 02:38 PM

Brandon! O would really love 'Still Want You' to be a big hit. It saddens me that the worst on the album is the most successful single of this campaign (not that it's a particularly bad song, just pales in comparison to the rest of the amazing album!

Posted by: Mack Nov 15 2015, 03:07 PM

It was Rihanna on the chart of 12th December 2010:

4. What's My Name? ft Drake
5. Only Girl (In The World)
9. Who's That Chick? (David Guetta ft Rihanna)

34. Save a Prayer - Eagles of Death Metal

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 15 2015, 04:05 PM

I know most think OA/OS is stupid but if done right like for Love me like you you can really grow a hit which doesn't lead to people being sick of it by the release week. Plus a song/chart run with legs is going to really help sell an album. I think they have got it spot on with Love me like you, should keep them going until Christmas now and then 3rd single early next year with hopefully a good 250k albums sold by then.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 15 2015, 04:09 PM

This'll be a very close week for the #1 it looks like. Adele's extended her lead slightly on Justin - 1.000 to ~0.8788 (with his two versions combined). Maybe hype around Adele's album release this friday will give the song a bit of a boost later in the week?

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Nov 15 2015, 06:04 PM

75. Major Lazer feat. Fuse ODG & Nyla - Light It Up

Really growing on me now. Sounds beach-ready but strangely festive at the same time.

Posted by: T Boy Nov 15 2015, 06:08 PM

Brandon Flowers not having a big hit this era is just stupid IMO.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 15 2015, 06:09 PM

is the Eagles of Death Metal song a charity single for Paris or are they just getting a big boost from being in the news coverage??

Posted by: Suedehead2 Nov 15 2015, 06:18 PM

People have been encouraged to try to get this particular track to number one. As the original is reasonably well-known (unlike any of EODM's own songs), it seems a good choice.

There has been no announcement (AFAIK) about a charity donation, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happens.

29 Years & Years - Eyes Shut
after two performances and still so low. this is going to flop

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 15 2015, 07:00 PM

Eyes Shut is actually holding up rather well during the weekend effect this week so that's promising! Strictly performance tonight so that should give it a small boost.

Posted by: edneyguerra Nov 15 2015, 07:06 PM

they are perfoming tonight?

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 15 2015, 07:07 PM

Apparently so!

How much longer will Adele remain on top of Bieber in the iTunes chart?

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 15 2015, 07:18 PM

Hopefully not for too much longer. She's a big lady so he must be suffocated by now

Posted by: Hadji Nov 15 2015, 07:19 PM

This needs to go higher. So much better than "Lean On"

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 15 2015, 07:19 PM

Well given he is decreasing and her album release is edging ever closer, I'd say he wont ever overtake her now. This Wed/Thurs will have huge hype for the album I expect her to be back at almost double him by Thursday evening.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo Nov 15 2015, 07:24 PM

They're performing King

Yeah I just saw Mess.

Posted by: jazzy_765 Nov 15 2015, 07:28 PM

I think the 185,000 copies sold of 'communion' probably hasn't helped 'Eyes Shut' ... Too many already own it

Posted by: Mack Nov 15 2015, 07:32 PM

There is a campaign to get this to #1.

https://www.facebook.com/eodmforno1/

https://twitter.com/eodmforno1

Posted by: ElectroBoy Nov 15 2015, 07:34 PM

Plus Eyes Shut was released on one of their earlier EPs as well.

Also I think it was one of the Instant Grats you could download before Communion was released.

However it is holding up well, just 29 places lower than it should be

I'm guessing they're focusing on album sales rather than peddling Eyes Shut for 59p/99p sales

Posted by: steve201 Nov 15 2015, 07:40 PM

The first release did okay albeit peaking at 44 or something in the chart it did generate decent sales - must have sold over 100k?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 15 2015, 07:44 PM

I think of all their singles Eyes Shut and Shine fit the Strictly audience more than King. Very odd.

Eyes Shut has sold just under 100k already despite not going top 40.

Posted by: UltraChristmas Nov 15 2015, 07:48 PM

Is there a reason why iTunes have stopped putting the new songs that are now 59p on their homepage?
Eyes Shut wasn't last week and I'm sure Charlie Puth- One Call Away and Robin Schulz- Sugar aren't advertised as 59p in the 59p section but both tracks are 59p!

Posted by: steve201 Nov 15 2015, 07:53 PM

Maybe it's so busy they have no room for them on the homepage!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 15 2015, 07:54 PM

I've noticed that. The batch is really uninteresting and lazy lately. 59p doesn't have a big effect unless the song is featured in the batch usually.



The batch is still featured though - it's just the songs inside are really uninspired, and they rarely bother using any new songs that are 59p.

Amazing to see One Last Time in the top 10. My second favourite song from her after Break Free I think. Shame about Focus though

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 15 2015, 09:42 PM

Not a bad first update for Jess, up 18% (three times 1D).
Should take #3 soon.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 15 2015, 09:44 PM

Annoying that Little Mix are about to be kicked out of that top 10 after vying for them to get back there and finally managing it earlier today.

Seconded. I love 'One Last Time' so much, but it's frustrating.

Posted by: UltraChristmas Nov 15 2015, 10:23 PM

Can One Last Time just go away ugh Yay for Little Mix top 10 on iTunes, didn't realise they were that high

Also Beyonce is just outside the top 100 with Broken Hearted-Girl, one of my favourite songs by her

Yaaaasss One Last Time top 10, one of the best songs of the past few years that really should make top 10 officially <3

So underrated, I love it too

Posted by: scratchy23 Nov 15 2015, 11:25 PM

Yes to all of this. Broken Hearted Girl is so underrated. I always forget it went Top 40 officially though, always feels like an album track to me.

Posted by: MishaB Nov 15 2015, 11:46 PM

Unusually big increases for sax right now. Anyone know why?

Posted by: Dillan Nov 15 2015, 11:57 PM

The Asda advert played quite a few times during TXF and IAC.

Oh of course. Wouldn't have expected such increases though.

Posted by: Red. Nov 16 2015, 12:09 AM

Wow at One Last Time in the top 10 of iTunes because of TXF! Really liked that when it was originally out.

How high did it peak on iTunes when it was a proper single back in the summer?

12. One Last Time (X Factor Performance) - Lauren Murray

Posted by: Jaÿ Nov 16 2015, 12:17 AM

Yay, nice to see Fleur's popularity score increasing significantly! I wonder if she could stay at #3 officially? Jess isn't performing as well as I thought she would considering she had both CIN and The X Factor.

Very pleased that One Last Time is in the Top 10. Hoping it can enter the Top 20 officially on Friday! Peaking at #24 was a bit meh (in fact bar Problem, the single peaks from the My Everything era were underwhelming, although at least they all had longevity).

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 16 2015, 12:26 AM

Olly and Caroline came out to it too at the start of X factor, plus the talk talk advert. So it was probably given more than a full plays worth during X factor with the Asda advert too.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 16 2015, 01:12 AM

I hope Jess Glynne is doing well with physicals seeing as TMH isn't going higher than #4 on itunes

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 16 2015, 01:21 AM

Listening to Jess Glynne's song for the first time on X Factor it sounded quite bland so I suppose it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that it's not doing as well as previous Children In Need singles.

Thanks

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 16 2015, 03:55 AM

97. Brandon Flowers - Still Into You

Glad to see Strictly actually benefit this somewhat. Wasn't top 1500 before I don't think. It's a shame this era hasn't been bigger for him. An album full of smashes.

Thought 1D would get a higher boost that they have got so far (#14, ~7 combined). Wonder how much Olly Murs will be boosted, assuming he's on next weekend's show.

10. Ariana Grande "One Last Time"

Impressed to see it over taking the original, let alone in the T10. Think Murray really did that song justice at the weekend though, so glad to see the cover and original both doing so well off the back off it; a re-peak for the original would be deserving.

Posted by: Christmas Nov 16 2015, 04:29 PM

Yass at Fleur keeping the Ginger Terror from climbing*.*

Posted by: Ryan. Nov 16 2015, 04:33 PM

Jess is performing on The One Show tonight I think I read somewhere so she should get another boost, although judging by the underwhelming boosts from her high profile performances so far she probably won't be able to overtake Fleur.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 16 2015, 04:38 PM

Saddest Vanilla would have been No.1 by now with the promo that Take Me Home has had...

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 04:58 PM

Hmmm...

Posted by: Bré Nov 16 2015, 05:04 PM

Eagles Of Death Metal are increasing very quickly now, up to #13 and with big gains in each of the last few Kworb updates - outside possibility of it hitting #1 on iTunes later? (As it will have more visibility when it makes the top 10 etc.) Probably won't quite get that far but here's hoping it does enough to at least be top 40 this week.

Posted by: lewistgreen Nov 16 2015, 05:07 PM

Now up to #12!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 05:55 PM

That hmmmm is seconded. 'Saddest Vanilla' is AWFUL. I've seen so many people make fun of the lyrics as well. Take me Home is a beautiful song, she's just unfortunately had a couple of wobbly vocals performing it so far.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 16 2015, 05:57 PM

Saddest Vanilla would've really underperformed for her, even the Emeli Sandé feature wouldn't help it as that can't take away the fact that the song's not very good.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 16 2015, 07:18 PM

Eagles of Death Metal "Save A Prayer" to #9.

Expect it to be in the top 5 later tonight, perhaps even #1.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 16 2015, 07:21 PM

That would be brilliant. Even just about scraping the top 40 officially would be perfect

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 16 2015, 08:43 PM

I understand why people are downloading it and stuff. But as a standalone song? It's dreadful. I was expecting a nice little metal/rock ballad (something similar to Creed's - My Sacrifice) not an awful cover of Duran Duran's song!

But eh. I guess the sentiment behind it doing well is a good thing...

Posted by: Suedehead2 Nov 16 2015, 09:35 PM

I think going for a song which many people will already know (the original of course) was a smart move.

Posted by: jase. Nov 16 2015, 11:59 PM

'Sorry' is now #01 combined

2. Justin Bieber - Sorry 0.9800

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 17 2015, 12:33 AM

Since when did Justin Bieber become so adored in the UK? the guy could fart for 5 minutes flat and it would be a #1 contender.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 17 2015, 12:38 AM

Both singles have been utterly excellent by his usual standards, that would be why I guess.

Posted by: jazzy_765 Nov 17 2015, 12:57 AM

Is there any news of a music video dropping anytime soon for Sorry??

Posted by: Davidson Nov 17 2015, 01:12 AM

I always forget 'Sorry' doesn't have an official music video. I always think of the dance video as being it.

Posted by: Shivering Adam❄️ Nov 17 2015, 01:42 AM

I don't really see the point in having a dance video on top of an official video tbh.

Adele's 'certain run at No.1 until X Factor' suspended after only three weeks! Happy for Bieber, if only becuase it's a better song than What Do You Mean and has had more cultural impact than a lot of No.1s this year.

Posted by: MANGØ Nov 17 2015, 12:07 PM

It's pretty incredible that Bieber has the power to dethrone Adele! Who would ever have thought that he'd come back with such a strong era?

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Nov 17 2015, 12:19 PM

Where Are U Now really made Bieber more credible. Without that, his solo material wouldn't have had the radio support to take off honestly.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 17 2015, 12:21 PM

Where Are U Now helped things I'm sure, especially widening his fanbase, but I'm sure he would have had radio support either way, he's a massive star with a huge fanbase, and Sorry especially is too strong, radios would have supported it regardless.

Posted by: MANGØ Nov 17 2015, 12:23 PM

Yeah, agree that he would have had radio support regardless, but Where Are U Now definitely helped make him more credible and 'cool'.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 17 2015, 12:26 PM

One of my friends described 'Where Are U Now' as his "revival song" (before 'What Do You Mean' emerged), and that seems fair.

I highly doubt Radio 1 and capital would have refused to playlist 'What Do You Mean' regardless though, so the outcome probably would have been the same either way.

Posted by: *Tim Nov 17 2015, 12:28 PM

They probably wouldn't have refused, but they would be a bit wary I imagine. The song would have to prove itself more imo

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 17 2015, 12:28 PM

It's sort of similar to Katy Perry piggybacking onto those Timbaland and 30H!3 singles in early 2010 to remind us all of her existence before she came back bigger than ever later that year.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Nov 17 2015, 12:32 PM

This is what I meant really. For all his large fanbase, plenty more people can't stand Justin Bieber and radio stations are aware of that.

Also, tapping into the sound of 'now' has helped him. The tropical house sound of What Do You Mean? and Sorry with an accessible Pop vocal made them both surefire smashes. Not without Where Are U Now though. That really opened doors for him.

Posted by: Davidson Nov 17 2015, 12:39 PM

Working with Skrillex seems to have done Justin's career wonders, he has a lot to be thankful for.

I don't mind JB having 1 week at #1 with 'Sorry' as Adele is clearly going to be straight back there next week with the release of the album and her TV special airing.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 17 2015, 05:53 PM

It looks as though 'Save a Prayer' is falling now, and will fall quite quickly judging by the last update.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 17 2015, 06:04 PM

It seems Jess Glynne may miss the top 5 on Friday. CIN and XF aren't doing the song any justice or maybe it's lack of airplay what isn't doing the song justice

Am I the only one that thinks that whole thing is really inappropriate?

That can often be an excuse but loads of artists manage top 3 singles off platinum albums (and Jess isn't even there yet), especially since it is a charity single, given the huge promotion it's gotten, it's fair to say it's under-performing somewhat.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 17 2015, 06:46 PM

It's not just because of that. Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith managed this feat and even more people own their albums

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 17 2015, 06:49 PM

Sorry is a great song and I hate myself for saying that.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Nov 17 2015, 07:23 PM

Lot of parrells with Justin Timberlake working with Neptunes and Timbaland back in the day.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 17 2015, 07:41 PM

Last Friday night's Children In Need must have been one of the lowest rated of modern times. I know speaking for myself that I didn't/couldn't watch it anymore once the first show ended for the 10'oclock news. So this must have been the case for millions of people on Friday night, her performance was right before the 10 o'clock news as well so any attention that she would have gained from viewers would have been wiped out in an instant.

Or maybe people just find the song even less exciting than watching paint dry and would have rather just donated to Children In Need the old fashioned way.

Posted by: Umi Nov 17 2015, 07:56 PM

This sounds like a stretch for a song that's been top 10 on iTunes for a rather extended period of time at this stage. It's not 'How Long Will I Love You' but it's clearly not unpopular or generally disliked.

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 17 2015, 07:59 PM

I really don't get the hype surrounding 'Take Me Home'. It's just there, for me. Nothing particularly interesting about it at all. I'm sure it's not going to have a massive tumble down the charts, but I'm glad it's not looking likely to be another 'How Long Will I Love You' sort of long stayer.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 17 2015, 08:03 PM

Isn't it top 10 on the AirPlay chart too?

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 17 2015, 08:06 PM

Not even top 50 #23 on TV airplay too.

Posted by: Heathyheath_ Nov 17 2015, 08:36 PM

Bon Jovi and the band have both announced all proceeds from the song will go to "an appropriate charity" today.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 17 2015, 08:37 PM

Ah that's fair enough then! Thanks for letting me know

Posted by: steve201 Nov 17 2015, 08:53 PM

God I thought Take Me Home was Alisted on radios 1&2 being the CIN single, shocked!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 17 2015, 09:02 PM

Take me Home has been played loads this week, is up to #33 on AirPlay today.

Posted by: MJ2015 Nov 17 2015, 09:03 PM

It was #70 on Airplay last week, but is #33 on the 7 day rolling chart so climbing quite quickly.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 17 2015, 09:05 PM

Probably hang around then if that helps it's streaming rise!

Posted by: Suedehead2 Nov 17 2015, 09:23 PM

Bon Jovi? What have they got to do with it? Do you mean Simon Le Bon?

Duran Duran have said that their royalties will go to a charity. I assume Eagles Of Death Metal will do the same, but they probably have other things on their minds at the moment.

Posted by: Ryan. Nov 17 2015, 11:11 PM

Janet Devlin makes her long awaited return to the top 200! *.* I believe it's a song for anti-bullying week so glad that it's doing well.

Fantastic to see Dua somehow return to the top 100 after she dropped quite a way after a few days in the top 100 following the initial release, wonder if that's getting some airplay somewhere.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 17 2015, 11:13 PM

Eyes Shut finally heading for the top 40 this week!

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Nov 18 2015, 01:13 AM

This song is really growing on me at the moment. It could possibly be a sales #1 when it gets released soon.

Posted by: MANGØ Nov 18 2015, 10:52 AM

Yeah, I was wondering what Bon Jovi had to do with the price of fish

Posted by: TheGrinch Nov 18 2015, 10:57 AM

I wonder if Adele will go to #1 next week with 'When We Were Young'? It wouldn't surprise me if 'Hello' managed to climb back to number one though as streaming will be huge and the Graham Norton show I'm sure will ensure it has a massive lead again on iTunes.

It's great to see 'Eyes Shut' climbing rather quickly now, it's a great shame that it's still not discounted and their live performances have not had much impact on iTunes in the slightest.

10. Little Mix - Love Me Like You (Joe agog) & #65
12. One Direction - Perfect
21. Years & Years - Eyes Shut & #120
27. Ben Haenow Feat Kelly Clarkson - Second Hand Heart (This has held up better that I imagined especially with a second version at #90)
33. Sigma & Rita Ora - Coming Home
40. Robin Schulz Feat Francesco Yates - Sugar
45. Pia Mia - Touch
46. Charlie Puth - One Call Away
60. Years & Years - King
61. Years & Years - Shine
62. Selena Gomez - Same Old Love
73. Shane Filan Feat Nadine Coyle - I Could Be
80. Shawn Mendes - Stiches
115. Nathan Skykes - Over and Over Again

Posted by: Heathyheath_ Nov 18 2015, 11:14 AM

Oops, that's very embarrassing. I guess my brain wouldn't split Save a Prayer with Living On a Prayer! I guess I was just in a rush to let people know the proceeds are going to some kind of charity.

Anyway Id imagine the song will definitely chart in the top 40 on Friday. It's holding up okay despite the band obviously having a niche market.

Mariah up to #93 (first time in the 100 for this year) & 199
Shakin Stevens is second this year atm amazing stuff, he's #211

Posted by: #psychic7 Nov 18 2015, 06:54 PM

40. Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer Should climb towards the iTunes top 10 with the collective Shawn/5H fanbases
62. Major Lazer - Light It Up (feat. Fuse ODG & Nyla)
109. Snakehips - All My Friends (feat. Tinashe & Chance The Rapper) TOTD effect, hopefully regular airplay to follow very soon!
163. Oh Wonder - Without You

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 06:58 PM

Oh glad the Shawn/Camila song is finally out here! Hopefully Stitches' success worldwide can lead to this one getting support (plus Worth It being a smash too).

Posted by: Liаm Nov 18 2015, 07:04 PM

All My Friends better be huge, such an anthemic song <3

Posted by: Danvember Nov 18 2015, 07:13 PM

are they not going to bother with promoting 'Stitches' properly here then? Surprised this new one has instantly outpeaked it on iTunes.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 07:15 PM

I doubt it now, it's already peaked in the US, if they were gonna do it then I think it would've been done by now. Plus this has only outpeaked it on iTunes cause Stitches was a slow-burning post-album single Life of the Party and Something Big also got higher than Stitches peaked on iTunes!

Posted by: AcerBen Nov 18 2015, 07:18 PM

I'm surprised Y&Y's dreadful live performances haven't put people off. Great song though.

Posted by: Zárate Nov 18 2015, 08:45 PM

Tbh I suspected Y&Y would underperform with 'Eyes Shot', not only because it being quite a cliche ballad song, but also this not being suited to their target audience. All of their previous singles were much more quirky and production-wise different to my ears.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Nov 18 2015, 08:49 PM

That and it's a post album single - the album having sold relatively well. Eyes Shut was also avaliable pre album on one of their EPs they released and was avaliable pre album to cherry pick.

Therefore why it was picked as a single was a bit bizarre IMO... They should've gone for Gold... or re-released Take Shelter or one of the other excellent songs from the album

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 08:51 PM

Eyes Shut was the perfect single IMO and I'm not sure Gold would've done any better. Eyes Shut has translated into album sales quite well because it adds versatility, something Gold would not do IMO. I did expect it to do better but I guess its only big promo slot was on Children In Need at half 11 in the evening (and Alan Carr which provides only a small most anyway)

I love the song anyway and I'm glad it got a chance as a single

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 18 2015, 08:55 PM

'Eyes Shut' seemed like the logical choice for late year ballad and it was the one which was getting the most attention/cherry picks.

I find it so immensely bland though, it's the sort of thing Sam Smith would do. It's almost like over the course of 3 singles they've made the transition to Radio 2 friendly act.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 08:57 PM

Eyes Shut is still climbing though, slowly but surely. And as I've said before, it's actually sold 100k already. I think things are far from over for it. I think it'll get a few weeks top 40, which to be honest I don't think any other song on the album will get.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Nov 18 2015, 08:59 PM

Oh I like Eyes Shut... I just prefer a fair few on the album more

And yeah it is still climbing - I'm amazed at how long its kept around tbh (but pleased) and seems to be going in the right direction

Posted by: Suedehead2 Nov 18 2015, 09:30 PM

83. Protoje feat. Chronixx - Who Knows

Great to see reggae getting properly pushed! This tune is old though, was doing the rounds during mid-2014. Quite a chilled listen.

Posted by: John-James Nov 18 2015, 10:30 PM

60 Grace - You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy


Anyone know why the huge rise? This should be a huge hit but I'd given up hope months ago

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 10:32 PM

WOW at that! It's being used on a House of Frasier advert right now, only saw it for the first time earlier, if it's that high already it's an excellent sign! Please be a hit

Posted by: Liаm Nov 18 2015, 10:33 PM

Now 92 effect *.*

Please be the first Unovia entry to smash.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 18 2015, 10:34 PM

60. Grace featuring G-Eazy - You Don't Own Me. House Of Fraser ad effect and should be pushed into the top 40 next week by the NOW 92 effect

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 18 2015, 10:47 PM

The Now compilers had some inside knowledge about that ad campaign then!

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 Nov 18 2015, 11:38 PM

Oh YES!!! Finally an advert that includes a song I can get behind.

I didn't realise Now 92 was released this Friday. HUGE week for sales coming ahead then!

Posted by: BillyH Nov 19 2015, 03:41 AM

YES!! Go Grace & G!!

I mentioned in another thread that I live in Australia now, and I only first heard this track on the radio a few weeks ago - it was a #1 hit here a few months ago. Really hoped the Now 92 inclusion was a good sign and hoping this is gonna do well!

Posted by: AcerBen Nov 19 2015, 12:43 PM

I said Grace was going to be in a Christmas ad two or three weeks ago

Posted by: TheGrinch Nov 19 2015, 12:59 PM

'Love Yourself' could debut at #3 this week which is rather remarkable. It's #3 & #51 on iTunes and #2 on UK Spotify, I never thought Bieber would have had three top 3 singles from one campaign.

06. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You [Hopefully this manages to re-peak next week]
09. One Direction - Perfect
10. Coldplay - Adventure of a Lifetime
16. Olly Murs - Kiss Me
20. Years & Years - Eyes Shut & #113
29. Ariana Grande - One Last Time
31. Sigma & Rita Ora - Coming Home
32. Shawn Mendes & Camilla - I Know What You Did Last Summer
38. Robin Schulz Feat Francesco Yates - Sugar
42. Pia Mia - Touch
45. Charlie Puth - One Call Away [Hopefully he manages to get an X-Factor slot, this really needs to at least go top 20, it's 59p]
91. Nathan Sykes - Over and Over Again [I'm guessing this could go top 10 following an X Factor performance]

Posted by: #psychic7 Nov 19 2015, 02:32 PM

175 Cameron AG - Lost Direction

I assume this got a play on R1 this morning? (the Hottest Records from the night before usually do I think)

Posted by: Knightr634 Nov 19 2015, 02:50 PM

The iTunes top 10 will consist of Adele and Justin next week won't it

Posted by: gavindeejay Nov 19 2015, 03:18 PM

I could see Adele being the type of artist to have all the tracks 'Album Only'. I read somewhere that it's not going to be available on Spotify.

Good to see Coldplay climb back into the Top 10

Posted by: pippa Nov 19 2015, 05:37 PM

Olly Murs on the rise again. Will his X Factor performance achieve a new peak im wondering?

Posted by: mowino Nov 19 2015, 06:53 PM

Adele 25 is not on Spotify, nor Apple Music for a while. Great selling strategy tbh

Posted by: Joe. Nov 19 2015, 06:56 PM

Do we have a source / confirmation of this?

Posted by: mowino Nov 19 2015, 07:03 PM

There will be no streaming of Adele’s 25 upon its release tomorrow (11/20), including via Apple Music. Will she change her mind? Perhaps, but that's a decision she’ll make at a later date.

This is said to be fundamentally about the fact that the megastar singer/songwriter believes art has value and that freemium devalues it for all artists. This not about money for her personally—she is, as you may have intuited, wealthy beyond belief. But the big streaming services have offered her huge financial incentives.

Wow at Arianas Xmas effort ahead of Leona!!

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 19 2015, 09:20 PM

#382. Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me
#422 & #988. - Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

Pretty much selling the same once you take into account Leona's second version and there not being many sales between #382 & #422. Plus Ariana's currently got a lot more exposure than Leona at the moment. Things look promising for Ariana though, as it's in its second year now (Leona in her 3rd). Maybe it'll go on to become a Christmas classic?

Will be interesting to see how well "One More Sleep" does this year featuring on Now! Christmas and being on most of the Spotify Christmas playlists. Hopefully it'll do better than last year and go silver this year (Think it needs to sell another 30-40k to go silver, which shouldn't be too difficult to do if it performs similarly to last year).

Posted by: steve201 Nov 19 2015, 09:39 PM
