Posted by: seven. 18th March 2023, 08:30 PM
It looks likely to either be a tenth week at #1 for Miley Cyrus or a first for Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding. Hozier could make a return to the chart with Eat Your Young, while Fred Again, Skrillex & Four Tet drop their latest track Baby again.. and Melanie Martinez makes her comeback with DEATH. There's also new singles from Lewis Capaldi, Lana Del Rey, Nothing But Thieves, Jimin, Luke Combs and venbee, plus four previously unreleased tracks from Taylor Swift
U2's new re-recorded set Songs of Surrender should debut at #1. M83 returns with his ninth album Fantasy, Black Honey contend for their second Top 10 record with A Fistful of Peaches and 100 gecs release their long-awaited second album 10,000 gecs. There's also new releases from All Time Low, Yves Tumor, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Aly & AJ, The Answer, Kamelot, Theory of a Deadman and Invent Animate
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. Any chart requests between No. 41 to 100 will not be answered after Monday's update.

Hopefully All Of The Girls You Loved Before can make the top 20, its had a solid start but it might drop so not sure yet. hopefully top 40 at least. wonder if lavender haze is due for acr again? if so maybe one of the other new ones will replace it too

Posted by: mrpopquiz 18th March 2023, 11:09 PM
Alan Jones confirmed in his sales report that Boy's A Liar by PinkPantheress is now on ACR.
I notice that Players by Coi Leray has decreased overall sales above the market average for 3 weeks in a row so is probably on ACR as well.
There were comments on Fridays chart thread saying that Calm Down By Rema needs to go on ACR, however it has increased its overall sales for 4 weeks in a row ( last week increase by 1154 ) so it is probably still on zero weeks of decline so it is not going anywhere anytime soon.

how i'm feeling now is actually lovely. i really like it. its also quite relatable for me, hope it can become a decent hit as its soooo much better than pointless and deserves to be as big as that. maybe not a fake #1 tho

2 Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding - Miracle
1 Miley Cyrus - Flowers
After dropping four surprise new songs to celebrate the beginning of The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is now on course for highest new entry with All The Girls You Loved Before (5) a previously unreleased cut that didn’t make the tracklist of 2019’s Lover album.
More than a year after its original release, Rema’s Calm Down could reach its highest peak yet in the UK (4), as could Libianca’s People following the release of a new remix with Cian Ducrot (6).
BTS member Jimin is looking to score his debut solo Top 20 entry with Set Me Free Pt. 2 (14), weeks after bandmate J-Hope made chart history with J. Cole collab on the street.
Lewis Capaldi’s emotional new track How I’m Feeling Now is looking to enter inside the Top 20 (19), while Irish singer-songwriter Hozier’s comeback track Eat Your Young could become his Top 40 single in eight years (21).

Posted by: Amanda Hugginkis 19th March 2023, 06:55 PM
Performing a Miracle is REET tbh, with their history of FLOPPAGE!!!
No.1 next week for Miracle or can ir sneak it this week?! Rock Bree, Rock Brer out!!!
Posted by: Amanda Hugginkis 19th March 2023, 06:57 PM
Miley will be on ACR next week and will collapse 1-18 likr Mcfly or 1-8 like Emma Bunton/ Alexandra Burke Hopefully it falls to #2 this week, so its fall from grace isn't such a fall from grace
Posted by: mrpopquiz 19th March 2023, 07:01 PM
Hopefully it falls to #2 this week, so its fall from grace isn't such a fall from grace Miley avoided ACR on Friday so Flowers will be around for another 3 weeks at least.
see the sales report.
Posted by: Hadji 19th March 2023, 07:04 PM
At least Miley won’t need ACR to knock her off the top as Ed will be the one to do that
Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 19th March 2023, 07:12 PM
Hopefully the gap is small and Miracle can get to #1.
Posted by: Amanda Hugginkis 19th March 2023, 07:13 PM
Gif is a bit small 
Posted by: Brer 19th March 2023, 08:19 PM
Well that report is the first I've heard of there being another remix of 'People' with Cian Ducrot lmao *_* can't really picture him on that song... argh at 'Calm Down' likely coming for yet another new peak too but can hardly say it's undeserved when its numbers have been continuing to tick up over the last few weeks.
And looks like we may be getting a second solo BTS top 40 hit (first entirely solo) just 2 weeks after the first.
Also not complaining at 'Creepin'' getting a reset tbh, felt like that went to ACR a bit soon x
No.1 next week for Miracle or can ir sneak it this week?! Rock Bree, Rock Brer out!!!

Lizzy top 5 yay, if only Libianca replaced Rema in the top 5 too but can't have them all I guess. Pink baiting with that climb back to 14 only to drop down by Friday again lol. Ooh nice to see Zara top 40 as well.
Also with U2 at #1 on the albums, if you haven't already head to the 2000's forun to rate their 00's singles!
Posted by: conorw 20th March 2023, 06:19 PM
Hope Lizzy makes the top 5 officially! deserves to be a #1 but we cant all get what we want. also Zaraaaaa! hope it stays top 40!

also noticed 10:35 is down to #35 while on ACR. it has charted at #10 before so it would be perfect if it charted at #35 too

I see the greatest Hits by Foo Fighters is now replacing the Essential on the album chart.
Great to see Pinks album holding up so well, really steady run so far.

With less than 500 sales between Calm Down & The Weeknd, could that even get to #3?
Really disappointed that Calvin/Ellie aren't on track for the No.1.

Fantastic that PinkPantherness has gone to ACR, had a Old Rosie cider for that.
Posted by: Bjork 21st March 2023, 09:08 AM
And looks like we may be getting a second solo BTS top 40 hit (first entirely solo) just 2 weeks after the first.
Also not complaining at 'Creepin'' getting a reset tbh, felt like that went to ACR a bit soon x
the version of People with Cian Ducrot is actually charting on Amazon!!!
Posted by: Jessie Where 21st March 2023, 11:04 AM
I don't really agree with this, it felt like it was about time and ACR served the purpose it was intended. It may have perhaps felt soon compared to all the others that routinely dodge ACR, now that the entire concept of it seems to have eaten its own tail.

Dear God, I hadn't heard this yet and went to have a listen... just really awful.
Posted by: ChrisJK 21st March 2023, 12:49 PM
I actually agree that Creepin seemed to go to ACR too early, so also glad it's back up near the Top 10 again.
This week, Players has also gone ACR a little too early for me.
I guess like every rule there will be a way to avoid them or reverse them. I'm not convinced on the 25% increase one (it is 25%, isn't it?) which resets songs... but it is what it is.
Posted by: JulianT 21st March 2023, 12:55 PM
I wonder what Lewis’s 3rd song in the Top 100 will by Friday. Just 10 weeks since Pointless reached #1 and it already fell below Someone You Loved last week.
Posted by: Daan 21st March 2023, 01:10 PM
ACR is really in need of a reform, it's not entirely fit for purpose when songs can just get reset for silly reasons - this Diddy remix of Creepin isn't giving the song any notable natural popularity boost, not to mention GGG is still plaguing the top 20
the 25% auto-reset rule ought to go too as that just gave As It Was a free extra month in the top 10 which it didn't need
resets ought to only be granted for songs that haven't been hits already gaining popularity, or very special cases like RUTH

Posted by: Foxes 21st March 2023, 04:56 PM
Sheeran coming to wipe out them both next week though
am i the only one who really doesn't feel like the ed song is going to be that big of a hit? i mean top 10 is probably a safe bet sure but i'd be surprised if it even makes #1 on any streaming service personally. i think at best it could manage 1 week at #1 on occ if he shifts enough cd singles but that's the best case i really see for it. i think the entire album will probably go without a massive hit single, the album itself will debut with like 50k-75k sales, spend a few weeks at #1 then be below = within 10-20 weeks. could be completely wrong ofc but we'll see soon enough.
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 21st March 2023, 04:58 PM
I don't see how it won't happen given how huge Bad Habits and Shivers were - of course we're yet to hear it and that will be a huge factor on how people take to it but the first week is definitely sewn up with CDs etc
Posted by: Foxes 21st March 2023, 05:04 PM
they weren't even that huge though. they had a ton of longevity for sure but bad habits debuted with what like 550k on spotify? tons of songs from much "smaller" artists have far eclipsed that. and that was a formulated chart smash pop song. - as far as i'm aware is an acoustic album so i think it's very unlikely to do similar numbers to even that. and none of the many features and songs he's done since then, barring peru, have really done anything on the charts either.
Posted by: Jessie Where 21st March 2023, 05:07 PM
I think he's said that this is the song that differs from the rest of the album (in that it's an attempt at creating a "formulated chart song" like his previous)
Posted by: LiamSime 21st March 2023, 06:04 PM
I disagree, of course it’s all about speculation but I’m expecting this lead single to be a huge hit and be a multiple week #1. We’ll just need to wait and see

Posted by: Bjork 21st March 2023, 07:18 PM
Lol you've been here 20 years and still don't know what top 20 means!!!
the Ed song will be huge. The album is a sorta acoustic and produced by Aaron Dressner (Folklore, Evermore)
but the lead singer is by Max Martin (Baby One More Time) so obs super commercial
Posted by: 777666jason 21st March 2023, 07:21 PM
Tbf Bad habits underperformed week one and only just scraped number 1 in week 1 (before going on to hang around forever) so I get the argument that the new one might not do phenomenal.
However this is the most promotion he put into a song since TJATQ so either way he gonna fight hard for it
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2023, 07:23 PM
What I class as top 20 are songs that only peaked between 11 and 20. Anything higher, I class as top 10

Posted by: BananasInPyjamas 21st March 2023, 08:55 PM
Headlines being the Spice Girls only top 20 hit!
In all seriousness, I think there's like a 0.1% chance of a brand new Ed Sheeran lead single not debuting at #1. Especially when the bar is only going to be like 55k and he's got however many thousand signed CDs to factor in too. Plus he's all but admitted this is the track off the album that is purpose-built to be the monster hit. Maybe it won't be as big of a seller as Bad Habits or Shivers in the long run, maybe the first week album sales will be another decrease. I can certainly see that. But him going in at #1 fels unfortunately all but confirmed.
Posted by: RobBot 21st March 2023, 09:23 PM
I could definitely see the Ed song not being AS big as Bad Habits/Shivers, but I'd be surprised if it didn't get at least a few weeks at #1. To miss it entirely would be surprising, not least because it's only currently having to compete with a 10 week old Flowers.
Posted by: BananasInPyjamas 21st March 2023, 10:03 PM
The worst case scenario (or rather best depending on how you look at it) I can see for the Ed Sheeran single is having a big selling opening week with the physicals factored in and then coasting along at #1 for two or three more weeks with not so stellar sales until another huge hit comes along or something gets big enough to overtake it.
But equally I wouldn't be surprised if it stays there for 9 weeks.

Posted by: Smint 21st March 2023, 10:09 PM
OK he'll get a no.1 if he goes hard for it but this year all the biggest hits have been by females (Miguel excepted) plus the gap between eras is too small. So might not last long
Posted by: Brer 21st March 2023, 10:09 PM
Predicting it to hit #1 or not is one thing but I really don't think it's worth speculating on the song's longevity before we've even heard it?
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2023, 10:27 PM
I’m pretty sure Ed will go #1 but I’m surprised his last song missed the top 40
Posted by: BananasInPyjamas 21st March 2023, 10:52 PM

I saw that in the Rolling Stone interview. Novel concept but bold of him to assume people will be interested in that in potentially 60-70 years. That’s a long time he needs to stay relevant. I know he’s the king of bucking all trends but sooner or later the party will end.
Best to put out your very best material while you’re still alive and relevant (and can perform it live) I’d say!

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd March 2023, 06:03 PM
Zara dropped only one place from the Monday midweeks to the Friday chart last week so she has a fair chance of staying in I think.
As for Taylor, you know as much as we do but its trajectory doesn't look promising

Lizzy not in the top 5 any more 
(although Libianca going top 5 is good too x).
'Only' dropping 1-3 would be pretty good for Miley by recent #1 album standards tbf, especially as her first week sales weren't anything crazy.

Posted by: jimwatts 23rd March 2023, 09:41 AM
Let's also remember that Calm Down was heading for #4 in the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=259882# before the likes of Anti-Hero were given manual resets, so there's some justice in that it's finally about to reach that position.
Posted by: Daan 23rd March 2023, 11:20 AM
yeah much as I'd like Calm Down to have gone to ACR already it's clearly one of those rare beasts of hits that take absolute ages to peak.
there's no excuse for As It Was, GGG and Hide & Seek to still be on SCR though
Posted by: ChrisJK 23rd March 2023, 12:51 PM
I've said many times that I love As It Was, so I don't mind it being back in the Top 10... but it really didn't need to be. I think after it received a lot of accolade at awards etc that it deserved some resurgence, but maybe not quite what it did get.
In comparison, I'm not that bothered by Calm Down, but if it is still increasing then it deserves to be on SCR whether it's 29 weeks old or not. It's just a slow-burn.
Reinventing ACR has been done to death on here, but I do think a staggered approach would be good - like 75% after so many weeks and the 50% after so many more. Then you don't get the odd big drops. Maybe resets could be staggered as well?
Posted by: JulianT 23rd March 2023, 02:55 PM
I think a staggered ACR would create some serious transparency issues, particularly when the OCC don’t make songs’ status public. At least with only 2 levels it’s reasonably clear what’s going on. Us geeks just have to accept chart runs having an ugly drop in the middle I think.
I think it would help if songs were only eligible for a re-set if their streams were 50% of their peak level at the very least (maybe a higher threshold even).
Posted by: Dobbo. 23rd March 2023, 03:21 PM
Agreed on the last point. Am I right in thinking it used to be 50% for a reset? If so I really don't get why they dropped in to 25% because resets are something we should be avoiding unless absolutely warranted.
Posted by: Bjork 23rd March 2023, 03:35 PM
yes it used to be 50% which was infinitely better, 25% is too easy
Posted by: perrobueno 23rd March 2023, 03:40 PM
Is it though? How many songs got an automatic reset in the past year?
Posted by: BananasInPyjamas 23rd March 2023, 03:46 PM
This has been dicussed ad nauseum but I do think some kind of system based on whether a song would recieve a new chart peak as a result of a reset would be the ideal.
Posted by: Dircadirca 23rd March 2023, 04:27 PM
I feel like a prior peak should be irrelevant to the whole conversation, it just becomes totally arbitrary at that point. Like, had Kate Bush had a resurgence with "Wuthering Heights" instead of "Running Up That Hill", should that not warrant the same treatment? The only difference is that the former peaked at #1 instead of #3 so it couldn't get a new peak even if it tried but if it were clearly the biggest song in the country, it'd look silly to not reset it on that arbitrary ruling.
Or imagine a world where Arctic Monkeys put out "Do I Wanna Know?" at the start of the week, Tom Odell wouldn't have a top 10 hit...until this year, and many would celebrate that in the moment. It'd be really dumb if the OCC were just sitting looking at the trigger and waiting to see if he got 1 place higher than he did 10 years ago to warrant a reset that's merely depicting a notable resurgence. The purpose of the chart should be to demonstrate what is relevant/popular etc, not to just fiddle around and generate as many arbitrary hits as possible. At some point *that* devalues the chart more so than a reset that is costing a few new songs 1 position on the chart for a bit until it's swiftly forgotten about once it's back on ACR.
Posted by: Envoirment 23rd March 2023, 05:37 PM
Can't get over how well P!nk has been doing this era. Despite "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" going on ACR it should hopefully remain top 100. That'll be 5 weeks in a row for P!nk to have 3 songs from the album in the top 100 ("Trustfall"/"When I Get there"/"Never Gonna Not Dance Again"). I hope they push "When I Get There" to radio in late April/early May with a music video - would be lovely if it managed a top 40 peak and it stuck around the chart for a while!
A big reason is likely the support she's been getting from Apple Music and Amazon - particularly the latter. A number of album tracks are still charting fairly well on Amazon which is likely producing a decent number of streaming sales for the album. A shame she can't get the same level of support from spotify or she would be doing even better!
Posted by: Jessie Where 23rd March 2023, 06:44 PM
P!nk really is the Queen of defying the odds time and time again.
Posted by: ChrisJK 23rd March 2023, 06:59 PM
I've really never been bothered by P!nk but Trustfall is such a banger that I'm chuffed it's done well and got some longevity.

I love how she’s went against the grain in terms of streaming success for a long established artist!

Or imagine a world where Arctic Monkeys put out "Do I Wanna Know?" at the start of the week, Tom Odell wouldn't have a top 10 hit...until this year, and many would celebrate that in the moment. It'd be really dumb if the OCC were just sitting looking at the trigger and waiting to see if he got 1 place higher than he did 10 years ago to warrant a reset that's merely depicting a notable resurgence. The purpose of the chart should be to demonstrate what is relevant/popular etc, not to just fiddle around and generate as many arbitrary hits as possible. At some point *that* devalues the chart more so than a reset that is costing a few new songs 1 position on the chart for a bit until it's swiftly forgotten about once it's back on ACR.
Could not agree more.
