We should be looking at a record number of re-entries.

Posted by: HaPetey New Year 2nd January 2018, 03:55 PM

This will certainly be an interesting week to follow! Hope a number of the newies that have missed out over the Christmas period can sneak in.

Posted by: Robbie 2nd January 2018, 05:12 PM

We have a sort of midweeks. The OCC have published the new top 20 of the Trending Chart which is, I believe, the first 20 tracks on the OCC chart not to have gone top 10 on the weekly top 100.

The Trending Chart features chart positions from the current midweeks Top 100 which makes me wonder if we will get a midweeks update today

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ramzs-barking-is-number-1-on-this-weeks-official-trending-chart__21352/

As you can see, there is a lot of volatility on the chart with Ramz jumpting back up the chart, up to number 10, James Arthur reversing a drop to climb to number 15, Craig David ft Bastille back up the chart and now at 17 and Dave Ft Mostack back into the top 20 at number 19.

Posted by: Dappy New Year 2nd January 2018, 05:31 PM

Those climbers:

10. Ramz - Barking
15. James Arthur - Naked
17. Craig David - I Know You
18. Dave - No Words
21. Jason Derulo - Tip Toe
22. RAYE - Decline
24. P!nk - Beautiful Trauma
26. Jax Jones - Breathe
27. Not3s - My Lover
33. J Hus - Bouff Daddy
35. Greatest Showman Cast - This Is Me
38. Portugal The Man - Feel It Still
39. G-Eazy - Him & I
40. Camila Cabello - Never Be The Same
43. Sam Smith - One Last Song
45. Steel Banglez - Bad
46. David Guetta - Dirty Sexy Money
49. Greatest Showman Cast - The Greatest Show
52. G-Eazy - No Limit
53. Hailee Steinfeld - Let Me Go

This Is Me to stay top 40 hopefully ❤️❤️

Posted by: Dircadirca 2nd January 2018, 05:41 PM

Has Feel It Still been placed on ACR at any point? Its chart run has been very erratic so it's hard to tell.

Posted by: Dappy New Year 2nd January 2018, 05:43 PM

Don't believe so, its climb this week is just due to Christmas songs leaving and increased airplay helping its sales.

Posted by: Dircadirca 2nd January 2018, 05:45 PM

Thought that might be the case. Clearly taking lessons from Post Malone & Lil Uzi Vert in the strategy of ACR dodging

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 2nd January 2018, 05:52 PM

I hope pink can get a new peak with beautiful trauma this week in the singles,

Posted by: Mart!n 2nd January 2018, 06:12 PM

I reckon NF and Post Malone must have gone up as well, I reckon they are #11 or 12, looking at last week's positions.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 2nd January 2018, 06:16 PM

I don't think either would have had any strategy for the UK charts when they were so big in America anyway.

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd January 2018, 06:21 PM

I doubt they even care about the UK charts. Post Malone probably has no clue he was #1 in the UK

Posted by: Dircadirca 2nd January 2018, 06:24 PM

Yeah I know, just the first examples I could think of for songs that perpetually avoided the ACR trap. Wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing stuff like that legitimately happen where promotions/remixes etc are timed specifically to exploit it.

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd January 2018, 06:35 PM

Oh I’m sure that will happen.59p tactic will be overused too.

Posted by: mic1812 2nd January 2018, 07:26 PM

As regards the songs from The Greatest Showman how many of those 10 tracks can be eligible to chart.
Will it be 3 also like the other artists albums

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd January 2018, 07:34 PM

All 10 I believe

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 2nd January 2018, 07:39 PM

So we are basically back to week ending 4/12 in chart terms lol

Posted by: Robbie 2nd January 2018, 09:28 PM

More or less, yes!

This is where I miss the old days of physical singles as the New Year chart used to see lots of new entries from fan based acts along with some belting dance tunes which had been held back until after Christmas. Instead all we have now is old hits moving back up the chart. Goodness knows what the chart will be like next week as the new release schedule still looks a bit thin on the ground so sales are going to plummet over the next couple of weeks.

Posted by: sammy01 2nd January 2018, 09:38 PM

I would love This is me to make top 40 (The greatest show too) as I feel some radio exposure could make these songs explode.

Posted by: zenon 2nd January 2018, 09:49 PM

Camilla Cabello certainly did according to her initial reaction on the Radio 1 chart show despite not being British.

Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd January 2018, 09:51 PM

Well yes I was referring to Lil Uzi and Post Malone... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Posted by: timjimlee 3rd January 2018, 09:19 AM

Hoping to see a boost for Prince Albums after last night's Documentary on Channel 4 - '4Ever' all ready Top 100 but pleasing to see 'HITNRUN' Phase One and Two Albums getting biggest boost on Amazon (as the Documentary was about his last year).

Posted by: timjimlee 3rd January 2018, 10:48 AM

Not much discussion on the #1 Album this week, thought Ed Sheeran would be clear favourite but with 'The Greatest Showman' (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) top on iTunes and Amazon now I'm not so sure - if Ed does stay top this week it will be the first time an Album has stayed at the top since August (well since Ed did it last time).
'The Greatest Showman' entered at #39 overall last week but should be on course for a top 3 placing - 'La La Land' (same songwriters as 'The Greatest Showman') went 3-2-1 around the same time last year so may be a gradual rise to top again.

Posted by: Mullo 3rd January 2018, 04:33 PM

is there going to be a chart update this week?

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd January 2018, 04:44 PM

How is Perfect so far ahead

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 3rd January 2018, 06:14 PM

Rita ora not even in with a shot of number 1
Album sales are far higher than I thought they would be.

Great too pink heading for a new peak

Posted by: TheGrinch 3rd January 2018, 06:16 PM

YEY at 'Symphony' looking likely to re-enter the top 20 this week! I wonder if 'I Miss You' could manage a new peak within the top five?

Posted by: sammy01 3rd January 2018, 06:20 PM

This is me should make top 40 for defo then. I might even listen to the chart show to hear them play it on radio 1.

Posted by: HaPetey New Year 3rd January 2018, 06:39 PM

Will there be a mass coming-off-ACR this week then?

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd January 2018, 06:40 PM

It depends on how big the sales increases are. Some of the songs will undoubtedly be rebounding without much of an increase at all, if any, and it's simply due to the Christmas songs vanishing. Time will tell I guess!

Posted by: Evil Houdini 3rd January 2018, 06:48 PM

Barking by Ramz looks like a future top 5 hit.

Posted by: Bjork 3rd January 2018, 06:57 PM

perfect combined has been doing double than the rest on itunes and being slightly ahead on spotify

Posted by: Hadji 3rd January 2018, 07:14 PM

I want Keala and Camila NBTS to remain top 40

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd January 2018, 07:24 PM

Ed has only got 2 more days of sales left I should imagine he do around 55k or less for the week, if JT has got a good lead by this time next week with his new track release on Friday, he could actually do it. as Ed's sales are decreasing slightly.

Posted by: mic1812 3rd January 2018, 07:27 PM

Not a big urban fan but Ramz could be a future number one depending on how good Justin Timberlake's new one is like.

Great for Raye. love that one.

The Greatest Showman is a fantastic soundtrack. Im yet to see the film. Another future number one i feel

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd January 2018, 07:27 PM

As I was looking at it, I thought christ, what a whitewash of re-entries I can see this happening every year now, unless OCC changes things between now and the end of the year. If they do any changes they probably be around July as usual.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 3rd January 2018, 08:28 PM

Yeh or a metal band getting to no1!

Now we usually have a big new release on the 5th Jan like Justin on Friday and Ed last year, knowing they can start the year in a dominating way with radio dying to playlist new material.

There are songs being released randomly such as the brand new Vaccines single tonight although it'll not be huge chart wise.

Didn't realised OCC updated the updates, oops my bad. I thought they were todays'

Posted by: Doctor Blind 3rd January 2018, 08:59 PM

Last Christmas going 2-OUT will be the highest ever dropout from the chart* (previously Alex Day (Forever Yours) in 2011 and Captain Ska (Liar Liar GE2017) last year who both went 4-OUT, though Captain Ska 'only' fell to #88 so was still technically in the chart).

*Top 75.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 3rd January 2018, 09:11 PM

Hope we get its position and sales drop!

Posted by: timjimlee 3rd January 2018, 09:18 PM

Thought 'Glasshouse' by Jessie Ware would be higher than #99 after her appearance on Jools Holland's NYE show, only 3 weeks in the Top 100 so far is a poor return for that Album.

Posted by: Danuary 3rd January 2018, 09:40 PM

The full chart is only a top 100 now so we won't get the position, but even so I believe last year all the Christmas songs fell straight out of the top 200.

Posted by: Brian Quinn 3rd January 2018, 10:16 PM

Position for 'Christmas' - Elvis and the RPO please.

Brian

Posted by: Danuary 3rd January 2018, 11:44 PM

We only have the top 40 for today's midweeks. He is #77 in yesterday's mids that the OCC posted (above)

Posted by: Envoirment 3rd January 2018, 11:50 PM

Nice to see album sales aren't completely dreadful. P!nk with top songs top 30 on the singles chart and the album still hanging in there at #7! Such a great campaign for her so far

I hope "Beautiful Trauma" the song will be made 59p on iTunes and added to the main spotify playlists soon to help it out. Either way I'm sure the album will be selling well a while longer given that both "Beautiful Trauma" and "What About Us" are both top 10 in the airplay chart!

Posted by: Cheeselog 4th January 2018, 01:09 AM

Hope Big Shaq can remain in the top 3 *.*

Nice to see Rak-Su rebounding into the top 10, holding up relatively well as I hoped they would. They really have big potential so I hope their label (is it Syco or is that not a thing any more? don't think Matt was signed to Syco) don't mess it up with the next single.

Also good to see Craig & Bastille top 20, 'I Know You' is really clicking with me now <3 'When The Bassline Drops' is still the peak of Craig David's post-revival output but this is coming close for me now.

Posted by: SKOB 4th January 2018, 01:45 PM

Wow at Elton re-climbing into top ten, thought it was an obvious stocking filler

Posted by: timjimlee 4th January 2018, 02:23 PM

I'm sure the lowering of price (on Amazon and other places) after Xmas to £6.99 will have helped although in fairness a lot of other recent Albums have been reduced to that level and in some cases £4.99 (eg The Killers). Hope Record companies take note that Albums do have potential to sell in bigger numbers if the pricing is reduced.

Posted by: pippa 4th January 2018, 03:26 PM

Elton John has done very well with this release, his best selling in a long while.

It is welcoming to see the Killers on the rise to, the album has sold better than i feared, hopefully it can at some point manage sales of 200,00 of greater. I think its safe to say
it will be their first album not to reach platinum.

Posted by: Paramore 4th January 2018, 05:52 PM

MK-17 looks like it will re-peak. So happy. I love its old school feel

Posted by: Midge 4th January 2018, 05:54 PM

That'd be great, hope it can go higher and higher - possibly my favourite song of the past 7 days.

Posted by: TomJ1991 4th January 2018, 08:45 PM

Is it guaranteed that Wham will fall out of the top 200?

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 4th January 2018, 08:56 PM

Yeh a beautiful album at that!

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 4th January 2018, 08:57 PM

Most likely if it did last January in the wake of George's death!

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th January 2018, 09:43 PM

The top 200 for the official chart under its current system doesn't exist anymore, so it just needs to drop out of the top 100 and that's all but confirmed seeing as it's absent in the top 100 mids from Tuesday! I'm sure it would fall out of the top 200 anyway.

Posted by: Danuary 4th January 2018, 09:48 PM

All the Christmas songs fell out the top 200 last year (excluding Matt Terry) so I'm sure it would happen again.
