Posted by: SevenSeize 19th April 2020, 02:40 PM
On the singles chart, could it be a ninth week at #1 for The Weeknd, or will Michael Ball/Captain Tom Moore/Voices of Care Choir's cover of You'll Never Walk Alone hit the top spot? Sam Smith & Demi Lovato drop their new collab I'm Ready, and there's new tracks from Playboi Carti, Tiesto/Becky Hill, Joji and Jamie xx
Gerry Cinnamon looks set for a #1 debut with second album The Bonny. New releases include Enter Shikari's sixth LP Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, Fiona Apple's return after eight years with Fetch the Bolt Cutters, DaBaby's BLAME IT ON BABY, plus albums from Nafe Smallz, EOB, dvsn and Rina Sawayama
Breakdown of the week
- Saturday: Some information may be posted on social media but it is likely to be missing most streaming data and is unrepresentative.
- Sunday: Official First Look Chart on Radio 1 from 6-7pm. Please do not post spoilers on the forum in advance as this ruins the countdown for any listeners.
- Monday: OCC Top 100 from 5:45pm
- Tuesday: Top 40 update as and when we receive them with requests, this is NOT 100% guaranteed however. The OCC may publish sales flashes of their own accord but likewise, this is not guaranteed. Twitter and social media is your friend for today. Please post any information you find with a source. Do not nag for updates, we will post a top 40 update if we receive one.
- Wednesday: Top 40 update from Music Week from 5:45, and potential top 5 sales but this is not guaranteed.
- Thursday: See Tuesday.
Other notes (please read)
- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).
- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.
- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored.
- To keep everyone in the loop of all chart action, please refer to the iTunes and Spotify threads.

YNWA has to be #1 this week. Can see Blinding Lights returning to #1 for a 4th time the week after.
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 03:23 PM
It's gonna be interesting to see how well Michael can hold up through the week. He'll obviously be #1 today and most of the start of the week, but if the hype dies down and streaming picks up they could loose it
Posted by: jimwatts 19th April 2020, 03:35 PM
I think the Big Night In on Thursday night will help them over the line.
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 03:42 PM
I still think The Weeknd will get it in the end, The Big Night In is on from 8:05 to 10:00pm a couple of hours before the cut off point of midnight might not be enough.
Edit that... One World is on tonight, didn't realise, could swing it towards YNWA
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 03:49 PM
I think Michael & Captain Tom will get it - especially if they are #1 in the first set of mids then media will be all over it.
Posted by: Mack. 🐠 19th April 2020, 04:13 PM
How much of an effect could One World have in the charts this week?
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 04:38 PM
Minimal tbh - most artists didn’t sing their own songs and some of the biggest acts were on very late meaning lots of people missed them.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 04:55 PM
5 mins to go!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 04:59 PM
Rooting for the literal legend that is Captain Tom Moore this week! Hope he gets that #1!
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:01 PM
20 Vera Lynn & Katherine Jenkins - We'll Meet Again
19 Little Mix - Break Up Song
Posted by: coi 19th April 2020, 05:02 PM
Vera Lynn was of course in the very first Official Chart in 1952, quite remarkable to see her in today's top 20 update!
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 05:03 PM
Vera Lynn Top 20 - we love to see it!
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:03 PM
Little Mix are showing some staying power. 
Hopefully it can repeak at some point although maybe that's a big ask.
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:04 PM
Yes @ Vera making it into the top 20 on the First Look chart. I would have liked a play of We'll Meet Again.
Break Up Song showing the staying power I predicted.
Posted by: Suedehead2 19th April 2020, 05:04 PM
19 Little Mix - Break Up Song
So we'll have two people in the top 20 with a combined age of 202
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:04 PM
18 Harry Styles - Adore You
17 Justin Bieber feat. Quavo - Intentions
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:06 PM
I just hope Nathan is higher than #18.
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:07 PM
Did they have to play Intentions for a millionth time, when they could played a new entry like Vera Lynn.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:08 PM
18 was Adore You
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:08 PM
16 Harry Styles - Falling
Posted by: coi 19th April 2020, 05:08 PM
Would have quite liked to hear Vera Lynn on Radio 1 in a 2020 chart show tbh, gutted.
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:09 PM
That man Captain Tom Moore fought the world war in order for you to live the life you have.
Show some respect
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:09 PM
Harry every week with 2 singles in the top 20. 
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:10 PM
Harry has really come a long way as a vocalist. This ballad is so beautiful. 
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:11 PM
Really liking Falling (and loving Adore You) right now! Harry has a powerful voice.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:12 PM
You don't have to like the song but the chances of it being a long-running hit are low. May as well give them this week as a sign of respect if nothing else.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:12 PM
15 Tones and I - Dance Monkey
14 Lil Mosey - Blueberry Faygo
13 Mabel - Boyfriend
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 05:13 PM
Exactly - certainly more worthy of topping the chart than the annual sausage roll mess!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:14 PM
Boyfriend needs to fall quicker! Mabel can do better than this.
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:14 PM
Keep falling Mabel 
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 05:15 PM
I couldn't agree more, that was really harsh, let all move on.
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 05:15 PM
I’m sure team Mabel are distraught over ‘Boyfriend’ - they seemed to think this would be the one especially after The Brits.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:16 PM
Why would they be distraught? It's been a big hit. Perhaps not as big as they expected but nevertheless, still a hit. They won't be losing any sleep over its performance.
15 was Tones, 14 was Lil Mosey
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:16 PM
12 Dua Lipa - Break My Heart
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:17 PM
Nathan's Flowers is NOT top 20, really?
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 05:17 PM
15 was Tones, 14 was Lil Mosey
As I said they thought this was going to be the one - a certain Top 3 and contender for the top spot.
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:18 PM
At least she's not in Rita or Ellie's shoes.
But it has hardly elevated her into a higher league.No Dua get back in the top 10.
You have a record to break.
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:18 PM
Hope Dua can climb back Top 10 with this
Posted by: Dan17F1 19th April 2020, 05:18 PM
A shame this is already falling. Not been quite as big as the other two singles. Hopefully ‘Hallucinate’ will be the next single!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:18 PM
Break My Heart out of the top ten 
. Hope it can re-enter the top 10 but it looks like Blueberry Faygo will leapfrog it as the week progresses.
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:19 PM
Mabel in the top 3? She's not Dua Lipa, I can't see her there.
Posted by: Dan17F1 19th April 2020, 05:19 PM
But I'll take 3rd! Well done to winners and thanks v much for hosting
Wrong thread
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:19 PM
But a #10 peak is hardly a disaster! That's the point I'm making. It's been a hit, Mabel's got a third consecutive top 10 hit (as a lead) from her album, there's nothing to be distraught over.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:19 PM
She was there a year ago
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:20 PM
11 Sam Smith & Demi Lovato - I'm Ready
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:20 PM
Lovin' this new Sam & Demi song. 
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:21 PM
The chorus to this lets down the verses but still better than the rest of Sam's output this past year. Wish they could go back in the studio to make a better chorus though. A Part II version.
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:21 PM
I meant now in 2020.
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:21 PM
Not keen on this duet but makes a change from being blandfest
Still gutted that I Feel Love stalled at 77.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:22 PM
I don't think it's impossible. Obviously not with Boyfriend but she could easy have another DCMU moment.
Loving I'm Ready! Sam's most instant song for me, and Demi sounds amazing on it too.
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 05:22 PM
Not really feeling this at all.
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:22 PM
I really like the verses to I'm Ready but I can't get into that chorus.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:23 PM
10 Doja Cat - Say So
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:23 PM
It almost sounds like 2 separate songs the verses and the chorus!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:24 PM
SAY SO *.*. DOJA STILL SLAYING THE TOP 10!
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:25 PM
You're just not yet ready.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:27 PM
9 Joel Corry - Lonely
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:27 PM
A bit tired of Lonely now.
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:29 PM
Lonely needs to get out of the top ten already! Bored of it.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:30 PM
8 Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:31 PM
Only 3 places but seems like a big drop for DSN haha!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:31 PM
DON'T START NOW 
We love a ACR rule breaker!
Posted by: coi 19th April 2020, 05:32 PM
Glad that both Lonely and DSN are falling this week!
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:32 PM
7 Powfu feat. beabadoobee - death bed (coffee for your head)
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:33 PM
Yes at Powfu still holding up very well. 
I hate coffee but love this song.
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:33 PM
These presenters are pretty bad haha!
Guess that means Blinding Lights is knocked off #1 as Powfu is the non-mover?
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:35 PM
Death Bed (Coffee For Your Head) just gets worse for me every time I hear it.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:35 PM
6 Dua Lipa - Physical
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:36 PM
Posted by: dandy* 19th April 2020, 05:37 PM
Streaming data is often missing isn’t it so sales wise blinding lights definitely won’t be #1
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:38 PM
Physical still smashing it! 
It took a while to grow on me but when you connect with the song, it becomes addictive.

There goes my birthday track of the year

Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:39 PM
Bye Drake
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 05:40 PM
That Lil Mosey track is Top 5
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:41 PM
No - it already came earlier. Isn't Top 10
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:42 PM
Yes Drake falling.
Bye bitch! 
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 05:42 PM

4 Beth Porch - You Taught Me What Love Is
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:43 PM
OMG! I'm speechless!
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:44 PM
This is cute, good for Beth. I won't listen to this out of choice though.
Posted by: coi 19th April 2020, 05:44 PM
This has to be the biggest surprise of the week
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:44 PM
Beth Porch !!!!
Wow.
Hats off to the uk for being so genorous.
Has to be one of the most unusual midweek charts ever for variety.
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 05:45 PM
Hope Break My Heart can sneak back into the top 10 so Dua can break the record for most constructive weeks with 3 top 10s
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:45 PM
This is really sweet! Enjoyed on BGT last night too. Hope it manages a good showing come Friday!
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:45 PM
Well done Beth! Phenomenal voice.
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 05:45 PM
Wow surprised this managed to get so high so quickly, it must've only had a couple hours of sales accounted for
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:45 PM
What are the chances Beth will be lower than 30 come Friday? 
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 05:46 PM
So different from what's in the charts at the moment, its a lovely track
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:46 PM
3 SAINt JHN - Roses
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:47 PM
Roses still slayin'
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:48 PM
This song doesn't get old.
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:49 PM
Does Beth Porch not have the title in brackets (BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT LIVE RECORDING) like itunes has it or is it not necessary
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:49 PM
It's not part of the actual song title
Posted by: JosephStyles* 19th April 2020, 05:51 PM
2 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
1 Michael Ball, Captain Tom Moore & The NHS Voices of Care Choir - You'll Never Walk Alone
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 05:51 PM
The fact Beth made it so high when it's only selling a third of Michael makes me think the latter might be very far ahead
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 05:52 PM
Whenever we think the days of charity singles #1s are over, an unexpected event will always take place that ensures massive sales for another one
Posted by: Scene 19th April 2020, 05:52 PM
If Abel gets dethroned this week only to climb up again next week...
Posted by: Jason 19th April 2020, 05:52 PM
This top 5 is very remarkable.
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:54 PM
It could very well happen haha. Has a song every had 4 stints at #1?!
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:54 PM
Theres something about why Youll Never Walk Alone is succesful every time a version is released.
I loved The Crowd version back in the 80s
Posted by: mic1812 19th April 2020, 05:57 PM
And potentially michael balls first number one single beating his debut song Love Changes Everything
Posted by: chrissmith276 19th April 2020, 05:59 PM
All for supporting the NHS etc. but that hurt my ears!
Posted by: LMLou 19th April 2020, 05:59 PM
I hope Michael makes it, parly because it would cool to see a song likely get 4 stints at #1 in Blinding Lights
Posted by: Gerald 19th April 2020, 05:59 PM
Such an amazing #1!!! Good on you Captain!
Posted by: Suedehead2 19th April 2020, 06:00 PM
No, it would be a first.
Posted by: Mart!n 19th April 2020, 06:00 PM
This is the 4th version to hit #1 if it stays there on Friday

Come on people. Let’s get Captain Tom to #1. If he gets #1, it would be #1 for his 100th birthday next Thursday

I just got a phone news update saying he was ALREADY no.1. Interestinf thwy released that on a Sunday, when a lot will believe the official charts are still released this. Lying fake media!!
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 19th April 2020, 06:18 PM
Unless the list I found is out of date this will be only the 5th song to get to #1 in three or more different versions ('Do They Know It's Christmas?' and 'Unchained Melody' did it 4 times each and 'With A Little Help From My Friends' and 'Spirit In The Sky' 3 times each). Assuming it holds on of course (which it looks like it very likely will if it's on 36k sales already).
Who'd have ever seen Michael Ball racking up multiple #1 albums and even a potential #1 single in the past couple of years
'Three Lions' had 4 runs at #1 if you consider the 1998 run to be the same song as the 1996 run (the two versions have had their sales combined in the download/streaming era so that seems reasonable but I know they're counted in some sources as two different #1s so there is an asterisk attached).
Posted by: -SCOTT- 19th April 2020, 06:22 PM
I think it’s number 1 on the Big Top 40 which, although not official, is a more popular chart show. The general public don’t care if it’s the real chart or not

I'm only counting multiple spells in the same chart run.
Posted by: jimwatts 19th April 2020, 06:42 PM
You'll Never Walk Alone has technically reached #1 in 3 versions already, although one of these was the last of a triple A-side for Robson & Jerome *.* (as well as The Crowd and Gerry And The Pacemakers versions) so this would be its 4th.
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 19th April 2020, 06:46 PM
Fair - in that case this would definitely be a first, yes.
Ah, well that wasn't included in the list I found
only the third song to get #1 in 4 different versions then if you count that. x
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th April 2020, 07:14 PM
Hopefully it can repeak at some point although maybe that's a big ask.I think that's a big ask on the same level as asking someone to provide you with the forthcoming week's winning lottery numbers. But I hope it holds steady and solidifies itself as a decent hit for them!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th April 2020, 07:20 PM
Break Up Song showing the staying power I predicted.
Hope both hold on or climb, happy the Michael ball looks to be safely number 1

Katherine/Vera have started to fall on iTunes now - really hope they can stay Top 40 for Friday would be great to see Vera return to the Top 40 after 60+ years!
Posted by: Grandwicky 19th April 2020, 08:22 PM
He's even tweeted it and everything!
Similar thing happened with Matt Lucas after they had him on the phone after he went in at #34 but he posted a screenshot of he download chart being all "WE DONE IT!" I know that nowadays the general public aren't aware of who is #1 but the amount of misinformation I have to correct can be frustrating. It would at least be easier if they couldn't get away with calling it "The Official Big Top 40"
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th April 2020, 08:23 PM
I guess it's nice to have some positive news in times of despair.
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 19th April 2020, 08:33 PM
By the same token the 'general public' presumably don't really care that much about who's #1 on that chart either though.
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th April 2020, 08:35 PM
This tbh
I think chart fanatics forget it’s only us and stans of artists that actually care about the charts. Most people wouldn’t have a clue who is/isn’t in the charts and use guides such as the Spotify charts and Big Top 40 as their information source.
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 19th April 2020, 08:40 PM
I would be curious to know if there is anyone out there who's a devoted follower of the Big Top 40 and really into chart stats etc. who legitimately thinks it's more important than the actual charts :') I'm sure there's probably at least one somewhere...
Posted by: 777666jason 19th April 2020, 09:06 PM
Yeah would be nice to see vera stay top 40 but as TYBP dropped from 5 to 34 by week end I really dont see it happening
Must be only one that likes the simplicity of demi Smith's chorus
Posted by: -SCOTT- 19th April 2020, 09:37 PM
Probably not. But the “newsworthy” number 1s (like this one or something like 3 Lions) are probably good for small talk chit chat and therefore it’s no surprise media outlets would rather report a chart that’s more quick to react.
Eg “Did you hear that 3 Lions is number 1 in the [big top 40] chart?” when it’s actually at its most popular
is probably better than “Did you hear that 3 Lions may get to number 1 at the end of the week [ie midweek number 1]”
And is definitely better than “Did you hear that 3 Lions got to number 1 in the [official] charts today?” (almost a week after it’s peak sales, and it’s actual *moment* has passed)
Posted by: IANMUSIC24 19th April 2020, 09:41 PM
Really happy for this weeks number 1 however slightly Pissed of Dua lipa hasn’t managed a number 1 with her 3 banging tunes.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 19th April 2020, 09:54 PM
Future Nostalgia singles really are like the sweetener era of 2020.
Album #1 but no number one singles yet they’ve all been huge hits.
I bet when she does next get a #1 single too it will be a with a track what’s good but less good than what missed out as well
Main thing is she got the albums #1 though
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th April 2020, 09:57 PM
True but at least she has had previous number 1 singles.
Posted by: Glenn 69 19th April 2020, 10:00 PM
Can Michael Ball hold on to No 1 with no streams? Will be interesting to see how far ahead he is tomorrow. Based on last weeks numbers he's guaranteed Top 5 already but he needs LadBaby type numbers to be Number 1. What do people think his chances are?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th April 2020, 10:02 PM
They're at #163 on Apple Music (peaked at around #110 this morning) - so not completely absent from streaming.
Certainly doing better than I expected on there.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 19th April 2020, 10:06 PM
I think they might just about go to #1 and possibly get an extra week top 40 as well.
It’s nice to see growth in pure sales though regardless of what the track is its nice to see there is still some of market for it.
Just the other day my mam was saying how he’ll be #1 and chart master me was giving it all but you don’t know how the chart works he won’t get playlist support and iTunes means nothing. Oops I was wrong x
Posted by: Mack. 🐠 19th April 2020, 10:08 PM
It would be nice to see a track like this go to #1. Yes not to everyone's taste. It's a tonic that is needed during this time.
Posted by: Mack. 🐠 19th April 2020, 10:10 PM
Huge hits yes Don't Start Now and Physical. It is frustrating to manage 3 in the Top 10 for two weeks that's impressive.
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 19th April 2020, 11:04 PM

I'm pretty certain I have never seen a 'media outlet' reporting on anything from the Big Top 40? I thought your point was about people posting stuff on Twitter or whatever.
edit: after Googling it there are a couple of outlets reporting on this being #1 in the Big Top 40 to be fair but I also do see just as many reporting that it's 'set to be #1', referring to the midweek chart, or just stories about it going to #1 on iTunes. The ones reporting it as just going to #1 as if this is the actual chart are largely trash sites like The Sun and Daily Mail which I stay away from so if this is something they do frequently I wouldn't be aware of it
Posted by: ___∆___ 20th April 2020, 08:30 AM
^^ In fairness most media outlets have stated he’s #1 - some mentioning the Big Top 40 but others just outright claiming he has the top spot - ITN, Metro, Mirror, Daily Mail, The Sun, Express, and Daily Record. The only one stating he’s set to hit the top spot is the Evening Standard.
I guess the media don’t care at the moment though tbh, it’s makes a nice news story although it would be better if they were encouraging people to buy it rather than claiming victory.
Posted by: Beverly 💪 20th April 2020, 10:20 AM
Everyone on my friends list is now very aware that he isn't #1 officially yet

I have a questions, do youtube streams count for chart positions?
Posted by: Slick 20th April 2020, 11:01 AM
The media (and artists themselves) repeatedly confuse/deliberately ignore the difference between The Big Top 40 and the Official Chart. I feel like it's a distinction only chart followers understand. I always see "so and so number 1 on charts", and I know (because I'm a geek) that they mean the Big Top 40. It's frustrating because we live in a world where people read a headline, take it as gospel and it becomes fact.
Posted by: Bjork 20th April 2020, 11:02 AM
^yes
While unofficial videos or other user-generated content will not count towards artist streams - official videos played on YouTube, Apple, Tidal and Spotify will.
The new rules will kick in on Friday 29 June, 2018 and have been approved by record labels and BBC Radio 1, which broadcasts the chart each Friday.

Wow, Enter Shikari have already beaten the first week sales of their last album - much, much better than I was expecting them to do, their sales are going to be extremely frontloaded obviously but given Dua only did 11.8k last week they look like they have a great chance of hanging onto #2. Anyone have any insight on how they might have managed this? (Looking to RabbitFurCoat as you seem to know a lot about artists like this with surprisingly good sales though I don't know if you're particularly a fan of Enter Shikari )
Pretty good sales for Gerry Cinnamon too of course, though I was expecting/hoping 'Where We're Going' to be a little higher at this stage, looking like it might still miss the top 40 now.

Fiona Apple heading to her first top40 album, possibly . Her highest peak was in 1999, #46 with... get ready: When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.
On the singles side, Miss Ava needs to step up her streaming so she can ensure a top40 entry this week.

Great sales for Gerry, Radio 1 will have a field day if Gerry releases Canter as a single just listening to it now.
Too many charity singles around at the moment, the No.1 its not that perfect, but in the light of what is happening in the world its quite fitting, It seems strange I'm sharing my birthday with Captain Tom Moore I feel so honorable to a war veteran. I just hope we don't have a new charity track every week, as I can see another new charity track is going to be released this Thursday a cover of the Foo Fighters track, I quite like the original.
Posted by: M4NGO 20th April 2020, 04:54 PM

Posted by: jszmiles 20th April 2020, 05:23 PM
what do you mean by "his star fell" - dance act never been a good album sellers and in recent times it's hard to get top 40 single with the music he's producing.
He is still a great house music producer I don't see any downgrade of quality of his music tbh.
Posted by: GTH 20th April 2020, 05:25 PM

Very happy with a potential 4th week in Top 20 for Little Mix again without any of the promotion they usually rely heavily on. Great to see them back on form - so rare for a pop group to achieve this after almost a decade in the game.

I genuinely think "Love Song" off of this album is the best thing he's ever done, and one of the best dance tracks of the past few years. He may not be able to have commercial success in the charts like he initially did but he's killing it in quality terms.
Posted by: dan.G* 20th April 2020, 05:28 PM
re: Duke Dumont - losing his relevance as a chart act was basically his own decision, he did an interview with Billboard recently where he basically says he lost his interest in getting chart hits and would rather just make whatever he wants to. he very easily could have taken the path of Jax Jones and kept getting smashes, especially after Ocean Drive which was a huge hit worldwide (500m+ YT, 250m+ Spotify).
Posted by: SKOB 20th April 2020, 05:36 PM

From Music Week -
Gerry Cinnamon has sold almost 23,000 units of The Bonny (22,833 sales) already, and takes an early lead over Enter Shikari’s Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible (9,509 sales) in the albums chart. Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia (3,266 sales), Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (2,800 sales) and EOB’s Earth (2,515 sales) complete the Top 5.
Michael Ball & Captain Tom Moore go straight in at No.1 in the singles chart with You’ll Never Walk Alone, released in celebration of the 99-year-old Captain’s fundraising achievements in support of the NHS. The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights (25,499 sales), Saint Jhn’s Roses (18,810 sales), Drake’s Toosie Slide (17,572 sales) and Beth Porch’s new entry You Taught Me What Love Is (14,242 sales) complete the Top 5.
Posted by: LMLou 20th April 2020, 06:20 PM
I think based on sales from 3 days, Michael and Tom will end up just break 80k after a last minute push later on In the week which should see them scrape the #1
Shame Ava isn’t higher than she was last week as it means she’ll likely just miss out again. A slightly better Spotify push could easily ensure this goes top 40

And re my original star has fallen comment - I just meant in terms of going from a sure fire #1/#2 artist to not managing a top 40 album, in fact probably much much lower. It doesn't mean I don't like the music, I think the album's pretty decent... love the full version of Therapy and the last few tracks on the album, there isn't anything I feel the need to skip.

I wish so much that Duke Dumont had been getting hits over the years since then instead of someone like, say Jonas Blue.
He's pretty much never put a foot wrong for me musically.
Posted by: The Hit Parade 20th April 2020, 09:26 PM
Didn't Duke Dumont say for years he wasn't going to make an album?
I wonder if he'll wish he hadn't bothered now.

I dont know Ava has an advantage this week as something above her is practically guaranteed to fall out poor dame vera

Completely agree. I find myself agreeing with you on many things.

Particularly impressive when most Marillion fans will have bought direct from the band or Fish's website, which presumably don't count towards 'official' sales numbers.
Posted by: Bjork 21st April 2020, 11:07 AM
^yes they count
Posted by: ___∆___ 21st April 2020, 11:18 AM
Marillion will fade away pretty quickly now though - all the versions are out of stock on their website so will just be any additional sales they pick up from Amazon.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st April 2020, 01:32 PM
I hope Ava max stays in the top 40 but I want vera Lynn to stay also.

No Amazon or Apple data for yesterday hence Ava dropping back out
Posted by: SophieMax 21st April 2020, 01:43 PM
I believe she’s risen on spotify since yesterday
Posted by: JosephStyles* 21st April 2020, 01:44 PM
Still significantly lower than on the other two platforms though, hence the drop
Posted by: LMLou 21st April 2020, 01:48 PM
Could Gerry out-sell 5SOS and Dua's first week? Would be really impressive if he could do so
Even with the missing data Beth holding on to top 5 is very impressive, she might even be able to hold on top 20 which would be a great result - she's only 3.2k behind last week's #21 sales
Posted by: Eric_Blob 21st April 2020, 01:52 PM
I find this so funny. The song is like 5 years old!
It has a spectacular number of views on Youtube as well.
Posted by: coi 21st April 2020, 01:53 PM
Vera Lynn still just about in the top 40 then, just a shame it looks like she won't get a place there at the end of the week.
And those are really high figures for Michael Ball and Captain Tom, think they've got this week's number one single in the bag now! Words I never thought I'd be saying even a week ago
Posted by: Eric_Blob 21st April 2020, 01:55 PM
He's pretty much never put a foot wrong for me musically.
Me too. The Jonas Blue songs I've heard are awful. The Fast Car remix...
The only Duke Dumont song I've ever heard that I didn't like as much was I Got U. It wasn't awful, I just didn't think it was amazing.
Posted by: Dobbo 21st April 2020, 01:57 PM
Wonder where that would put Michael Ball in the list of "longest time to get a UK #1 from chart debut" then (31 years). There was a thread on this very subject on here not too long ago. He'd be just behind Ozzy Osbourne that's for certain.
Posted by: legendsglory 21st April 2020, 02:02 PM
Are LM still top 20?
Posted by: coi 21st April 2020, 02:02 PM
Yep.
Posted by: ___∆___ 21st April 2020, 02:06 PM
Amazing sales for Michael & Captain Tom Video was released to YouTube yesterday so that will get it a few streaming points too. Would loved to have seen Vera Lynn make the Top 40 too!
Posted by: legendsglory 21st April 2020, 02:09 PM
Great! Hope they stay there for friday.
Posted by: Mart!n 21st April 2020, 02:09 PM
The last single to sell over 100k is Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber with I Don't Care on 124k
Can YNWA break 100k by the end of the week, hmmm... 
could come pretty close
Artists For Grenfell did 170k
Posted by: Bjork 21st April 2020, 02:22 PM
yesterday I noticed Michael Ball's You'll never walk alone was new at #15 on the Youtube chart, and now up to #10
but just realised it's not the new version, but an old version with Alfie Boe...
so not sure if those streams count??
Posted by: Hadji 21st April 2020, 02:30 PM
Come on Captain Tom! Get that well deserved #1
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st April 2020, 02:32 PM
Looking good for captain tom but I remain cautious of missing streams. Hope gerry cinnamon can hang on in the top 40.
Posted by: Hadji 21st April 2020, 02:39 PM
With what’s going on in the world, I wonder what the chart would have been like if we were still in the physical era
Posted by: jszmiles 21st April 2020, 02:39 PM
Are Duas all still top 12?
Posted by: Hadji 21st April 2020, 02:41 PM
I think the Nathan Dawe remix has helped a bit too
Posted by: StupidLove 21st April 2020, 02:42 PM
Hope Dua stays top three on the album chart!
Posted by: ___∆___ 21st April 2020, 02:45 PM
but just realised it's not the new version, but an old version with Alfie Boe...

Decca Records have uploaded 2 of the new version - the song only has had 364,000 views and the video was uploaded last night has 21,000. The version with Alfie won’t contribute to the new version.
Posted by: Hadji 21st April 2020, 03:04 PM
I just hope that Physical doesn’t hit ACR before DSN
Posted by: Steve201 21st April 2020, 03:45 PM
Sales holding up well for Ball/Tom another 10k, prob needs to break 70-75k for no1 as the Weekend's sales are down this week. Don't think itll break 100k as Martin was saying.
Gerry Cinnamon album doing 2k a day now so a chance of 30k which is impressive. Hope the single can hold in the top 40, stayed 34 today so hopefully.
Posted by: Davidson 21st April 2020, 04:07 PM
How far ahead is Beth Porch to the rest of the top 10? Is it likely she will be able to stick within top 10 by end of week or more likely somewhere in the teens?
Posted by: Breraldine 🐠 21st April 2020, 04:30 PM
but just realised it's not the new version, but an old version with Alfie Boe...

That is definitely just Kworb tagging it wrong, the Alfie version has barely any views on YouTube.
However the most viewed video of the Michael/Tom version is an auto-generated video which do not count (as far as anecdotal evidence suggests) to the video streaming chart - uncertain if they count as audio streams for some reason or if they're ignored entirely. It'll likely be only views from the audio and video versions on the DeccaRecordsMusic channel that count and even then that probably depends on the label having actually registered that with the OCC, the video streaming chart is very janky and often completely misses songs.
This isn't really relevant as the song will have pretty minimal sales contribution from YouTube and is heading to be #1 easily regardless just from its downloads though.

It would be great if he stays top 40 in the singles and also gets 30k in the albums. Im hoping the album will have good longevity and sell well, his debut should rack up a good few more sales in the months to come aswell.
Posted by: 777666jason 21st April 2020, 04:46 PM
Kelly clarkson not gonna trouble the top 100 is she shame really
Posted by: Nick Jonas 21st April 2020, 05:02 PM
She hasn’t for a while now, unfortunately.
Posted by: monai 21st April 2020, 05:08 PM
Any updates for the strokes?thanks
Posted by: coi 21st April 2020, 05:09 PM
Just below the top 30.
Posted by: TinyDancer 21st April 2020, 05:10 PM
How likely is Harry to stay at 14 with Falling?? Do you know how far a head he is??
Posted by: LMLou 21st April 2020, 05:27 PM
Just saw that Boss Bitch had fallen out the top 40 in yesterdays mids - hope it has't already peaked and begins start falling fast
Posted by: coi 21st April 2020, 05:33 PM
It's back in again today.
Posted by: ___∆___ 21st April 2020, 05:47 PM
This - it’s a proper anthem! I thought it would have taken off quicker than it has done.
Posted by: Steve201 21st April 2020, 06:15 PM
Yeh 'Erratic Cinematic' is currently 35 in the mids!
Posted by: Hadji 22nd April 2020, 11:50 AM
According to OCC, the Weeknd is only 18k behind Captain Tom. The Weeknd can piss off trying to stop Captain Tom getting #1
Posted by: coi 22nd April 2020, 11:56 AM
The article is saying the gap's closed by about 9k then (to 18k now, Captain Tom on 60k apparently), part of that might be the missing streaming data for yesterday's update being added I guess.
Posted by: Klumzeased* 22nd April 2020, 12:00 PM
The Weeknd should have withdrawn his music from all streaming and online music stores for Captain Tom!!!
Posted by: ___∆___ 22nd April 2020, 12:05 PM
Ugh! Have downloaded from iTunes but going to download from Amazon too - Michael/Captain Tom have to get the #1!
Posted by: SophieMax 22nd April 2020, 12:07 PM
Captain Tom deserves his #1 for his 100th !
Posted by: Bjork 22nd April 2020, 12:21 PM
that doesn't make sense... they were on 58.7k yesterday, cannot be on 60K today, sure they did more than 1.3k on iTunes yesterday
-----
Captain Tom Moore's battle for this week's Official Number 1 single in the UK is heating up, with the gap between the Top 2 narrowing today (April 22).
According to the latest sales and streaming data compiled by the Official Charts Company, The Weeknd's Blinding Lights is catching up to Captain Tom Moore and Michael Ball's You'll Never Walk Alone, who still hold the lead with 60,000 chart sales accrued so far this week.
However, just over 18,000 chart sales now separate the two, compared to a gap of 27,000 yesterday (April 21). Captain Tom Moore leads the way on downloads, while The Weeknd proves himself a powerhouse on streaming. Can the 99 year-old war veteran and one-man fundraising machine fight off The Weeknd to claim victory on this Friday’s Official Singles Chart?
Posted by: ___∆___ 22nd April 2020, 12:24 PM
They had a lot of red and dark red Kworb updates yesterday so it’s possible I guess - also the general public seem to think it’s already #1 so hopefully the news that it’s not in the bag yet might get people downloading!
I just downloaded another from Amazon - I never usually download but it’s a good cause and it would be lovely to see him get the top spot.
Posted by: Bjork 22nd April 2020, 12:26 PM
yesterday they were doing 6 times more than The Weeknd on iTunes, should be at least 5K...
today they've really slowed down, now it's like 3 times more than The Weeknd, so just 2-3K today...
Posted by: coi 22nd April 2020, 12:29 PM
Less than 2k sales from yesterday does seem quite sudden if true considering how it's been doing so far this week!
Posted by: Hadji 22nd April 2020, 12:38 PM
Shame Captain Tom’s not doing anything on streaming
Posted by: Houdini 22nd April 2020, 12:45 PM
It's not The Weeknd's fault to be honest, it's the people who are still buying and streaming that song that are to blame. I doubt The Weeknd cares much about the UK chart this week.
Posted by: dan.G* 22nd April 2020, 12:56 PM
would be a bit of a shame if they fall at the last hurdle and end up missing #1 but I suspect they'll do a last minute push tomorrow with the knowledge that they're not as safe a #1 as they may have thought?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd April 2020, 01:02 PM
Luckily it seems Michael is doing that!
The green vinyl is definitely not out until May 1st as I pre-ordered it although that’s only 500. I think she’ll creep into the charts at some point especially with R1 on board.
