God's Plan reduced to 59p apparently. KING DRAKE coming to swerve ACR :cheeseblock:

(in all seriousness I doubt he'll avoid it even with this reduction)

Posted by: Cqmerqn 15th March 2018, 11:14 PM

Drake 59p :’)

FRIENDS still 99p ugh!

Posted by: Bré 15th March 2018, 11:24 PM

Lmao I'm just listening to this Lil Dicky song and it has Ed Sheeran in it for a few seconds near the end (as well as DJ Khaled and Kendall Jenner). Not gonna lie, it's a pretty funny song / video. I don't know why anyone is parting with money for it though. x

Posted by: Frooot 15th March 2018, 11:54 PM

Meghan Trainor already reduced on UK iTunes, I'm guessing it could go top 10 on iTunes in the next couple of days then! Excellent choice by her label.

Posted by: Hadji 16th March 2018, 12:05 AM

He must be desperate and let’s hope he doesn’t avoid ACR

Posted by: Midge 16th March 2018, 08:01 AM

Exactly
It's just an easy way for them to keep him up at the top of the chart for as long as possible now sales are dwindling. It isn't selling huge amounts of downloads so it's a sensible marketing strategy.

Posted by: Rob 16th March 2018, 12:15 PM

Where did Best Behaviour peak on iTunes?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th March 2018, 01:15 PM

#18 so Yes is pretty much matching it so far.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 16th March 2018, 01:17 PM

17. Louisa - YES

Outpeaked Best Behaviour!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 16th March 2018, 01:20 PM

Conveniently timed

Posted by: The Hissmobile 16th March 2018, 02:20 PM

Has Louisa Johnson dropped her surname from the credits? Sad day 'Louisa' doesn't sound as good an artist name as Louisa Johnson imo.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th March 2018, 02:26 PM

Another thing re: Louisa - as this feels like they're re-inventing/re-launching her with a complete overhaul and starting over, does it mean that IF she releases an album that the previous singles until now would be unlikely to feature (unless as bonus tracks)?

Posted by: Jack 16th March 2018, 02:28 PM

I'm pretty sure that will happen, especially if 'YES' becomes a hit.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 16th March 2018, 02:30 PM

On the radio last night, the presenter on 1Xtra predicted both 'Answerphone' and 'Vroom' would both be Top 10 hits, which would be great!

Posted by: Dexton 16th March 2018, 02:38 PM

Answerphone & Mind On It I’d put money on going Top 10, Vroom a #17 peak or something

Posted by: The Hissmobile 16th March 2018, 03:25 PM

44. RuPaul - Kitty Girl

Yes, this is a decent enough funky house song!

Posted by: Hadji 16th March 2018, 03:55 PM

He’s desperate to beat Bryan Adams’ record which he doesn’t deserve to beat

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th March 2018, 03:58 PM

Do you think he himself actually personally cares though? Really?

It wouldn't surprise me if Drake was actually unaware he's the UK #1.

Posted by: Bré 16th March 2018, 03:59 PM

Fun fact: literally all promotion and marketing tactics is desperation.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 16th March 2018, 04:02 PM

He might not care a great deal but I'd say he's aware that he's got the #1 song in one of the biggest global music markets

I can't really blame him and/or his label for reducing the song to try and avoid ACR. I'm sceptical if it'll happen though as his streams are dropping each week and I'm not sure a small sales boost would counteract that.

Posted by: Dexton 16th March 2018, 04:05 PM

This is actually true Radio playlisting, Spotify playlisting, live performances, YouTubes ads, and every other marketing strategy implemented by labels are purely used to make money. There’s no artist out there who isn’t trying to make money off their fans/the general public so it always strikes me when people like Drake or Ed Sheeran (especially these two) are slated on here for doing exactly what everyone else does

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th March 2018, 04:11 PM

01. George Ezra - Paradise
Has a big lead now

Posted by: The Hissmobile 18th March 2018, 02:08 PM

I would welcome Paradise making official #1 eventually, I didn't his early stuff but I like this one, it is more upbeat and reminds me a little of early 80s pop rock/new wave in style.

UK continuing to sleep on one of the best songs of 2017 then x

Posted by: Chez Wombat 18th March 2018, 03:28 PM

I'd welcome Paradise as a number 1, it's a really good comeback. Surely a song that isn't bland as anything making number 1 in the UK is beyond 2018 though no? x

Posted by: Regina 18th March 2018, 03:38 PM

Paradise isn't anything that different from his older stuff though. Do you only like it because it's becoming a hit?

Posted by: The Hissmobile 18th March 2018, 03:47 PM

I don't know all of George Ezra's stuff, but it is different and more upbeat than Budapest and Blame It On Me imo, and it is much better than Cassie O, which I found rather annoying.

Posted by: Bjork 18th March 2018, 04:07 PM

he's releasing good music, enjoy it, no need to over-psychoanalyze it and ruin it

Posted by: Bré 18th March 2018, 04:15 PM

Rudimental down to 0.71, nice to see George getting such a strong lead. I really hope his Spotify numbers pick up pronto. Maybe with the album release next week that could give him a sufficient boost there and he could snatch the official #1 next week? (if he holds up on iTunes of course). Probably wishful thinking.

Posted by: T Boy 18th March 2018, 04:17 PM

Blame It On Me was fairly upbeat I thought.

I actually prefer Don’t Matter Now to Paradise.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 18th March 2018, 04:21 PM

23. Louisa - YES

Had no boost at all from Sunday Brunch!

Posted by: Jonjo 18th March 2018, 04:21 PM

His voice grates on me too much to properly get on board with him. Especially 'Cassie O'. 'Listen To the Man' is my fave of his but I feel like I'd love it more if it was performed by someone else.

Posted by: pes 18th March 2018, 04:28 PM

An acoustic performance of such an upbeat song was out of the contest

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 18th March 2018, 05:06 PM

This. I'm sure the album will be good.

Posted by: Bjork 19th March 2018, 07:19 AM

Gerge Ezra's album looks very promising, besides Paradise and last year's Don't Matter Now,
he's released 3 grats which are all amazing,
really like Pretty Shining People, hope it's the new single


Hold my Girl is also great and Saviour, his collab with First Aid Kit is even better


so the album could have legs unlike other albums like sam smith, which you listen and cannot see anything being a potential single

Posted by: Cqmerqn 19th March 2018, 07:37 AM

Queen of giving false hope

Uhm Smith's album is still top ten -ish in its 20th week.

Posted by: Bjork 19th March 2018, 09:47 AM

then imagine what it would be doing if it had good songs and potential hits besides Too good at goodbyes

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th March 2018, 10:26 AM

For what it's worth, 'One Last Song' is the only one of his singles I've even ever liked. So annoying it's been the one that flopped.

Posted by: SKOB 19th March 2018, 11:30 AM

How many hits Rag'n'Bone Man has had since Skin?

The singles and albums are very different stories.

Posted by: Bjork 19th March 2018, 11:34 AM

I said "good songs and potential hits", good songs help selling an album even if they're not t40 (i.e. Ragman),
same thing will probably happen with Ezra

Posted by: Dexton 19th March 2018, 11:34 AM

I still believe One Last Song could’ve been a huge hit (Top 20 at least) if it was released before the album.

06. Ben Platt - Found Tonight

WHO?

Posted by: UltraReputation 19th March 2018, 12:30 PM

He was in the pitch perfect films and was the lead in dear Evan Hansen (a very popular Broadway musical)

This seems to be a Hamilton/dear Evan Hansen mash-up (with Lin-Manuel Miranda also credited on this track)

Posted by: AngelaKD 19th March 2018, 01:51 PM

It’s also a charity single, at least in the US. Partial proceeds going to fund this Saturday’s March For Our Lives.

Posted by: Alpha. 19th March 2018, 02:27 PM

It's been a few days since the All Stars 3 final but Kitty Girl is holding up well, currently at #44. I wonder if it can make Top 100 on the Sales Chart this week?

Posted by: M4NG0 19th March 2018, 02:28 PM

It's so weird to see George Ezra at #1 after 'Don't Matter Now' flopped so hard. Good weird, that is, but still weird. Would never have imagined it a few months ago!

Is something funny?

Posted by: ElectroBoy 19th March 2018, 10:25 PM

Well he's either laughing at your statement or with it, given you said 'it's funny...'

I'd say given Paradises' success though that he is laughing at the statment

Posted by: Steve201 19th March 2018, 10:31 PM

It does remind me of Haircut 100 a little!

Posted by: Tombo 19th March 2018, 10:36 PM

Things aren't looking too well for Louisa at the moment then!

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 19th March 2018, 10:39 PM

You high?

Posted by: GTH 19th March 2018, 10:39 PM

Was anyone really expecting things to go much better for Louisa week one? Anything she does at this point is not going to be an instant hit (if it is a hit at all).

Posted by: Tombo 19th March 2018, 10:55 PM

It was quite a punchy song on a first listen and she had some promo and it was bigged up by PopJustice

things woulfd be very different for louisa if she had been added to hot hits on spotify, don't think syco are managing her well in there

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 20th March 2018, 08:08 AM

I actually agree, Don't Matter Now is miles ahead for me.

Posted by: Bjork 20th March 2018, 08:27 AM

I think both are similarly ok but none is on the same league as Budapest or even Barcelona, easily his best song from album #1 but was never a single
I actually prefer the 3 grats to the singles from the new album

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th March 2018, 08:32 AM

It's a pretty remarkable turnaround for Ezra, I put 'Don't Matter Now's flop down to it feeling like he'd been largely forgotten about in the time he'd been away.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 20th March 2018, 08:34 AM

It's OBJECTIVELY worse than Paradise, which is one of his best and up there with Budapest

Posted by: Lomadz 20th March 2018, 08:46 AM

Just heart the Vamps and Machine Gun Kelly song, I am in shock! Great chorus and should be massive but went be sadly.

Posted by: The Hissmobile 20th March 2018, 10:28 AM

#36 now! I like how uplifting this is. Its a good funky house song!

Posted by: Cqmerqn 20th March 2018, 12:06 PM

Louisa stable now

Posted by: Midge 20th March 2018, 12:19 PM

I had no idea she’d had an accident! Wonder if it’ll save her from flopping? An accident certainly worked as promo for Ozzy & Kelly back in 03.

Kylie's Dancing is secretly a bop, why is it flopping? Is it due to her age?

Posted by: Joe. 20th March 2018, 04:10 PM

Lack of support on both Radio and Spotify.

It gets decent airplay on Heart

A Thousand Years coming for its deserving Top 10 peak after cruelly having to deal with an #11 one

Posted by: Jonjo 20th March 2018, 04:47 PM

Wow. Didn't expect the video to have such a big effect (even with low sales). Such an awesome and cute Carpool vid.



Edit: apparently they were on This Morning! Which explains the huge boost into the top 10

06. Christina Perri

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th March 2018, 05:27 PM

It's a shame Radio 1 haven't played it. I'm not sure why, I don't think it's due to her age. They have no problem playing older bands like Foo Fighters and Muse (granted Muse are a bit younger than Kylie).

Posted by: zenon 20th March 2018, 05:36 PM

The Radio 1 playlist is based on what they think its target audience would enjoy.

Posted by: gavindeejay 20th March 2018, 05:41 PM

I think they do take into consideration social media feedback as well as spotify and youtube streaming numbers as well as getting input from the station staff (i.e producers, presenters). Don't forget Radio 1's remit is to break new music aimed at youngsters, hence the tag line 'Where It Begins'.

Posted by: T Boy 20th March 2018, 06:19 PM

Looks like someone doesn’t understand how opinions work.

I too prefer Don’t Matter Now.

If Kylie got Stormzy on a track, would it be a hit?

Posted by: ElectroBoy 20th March 2018, 06:32 PM

It didn't help with Jorja Smith

Posted by: danG 20th March 2018, 06:37 PM

Let Me Down did quite well for itself considering Jorja isn't that well known to the general public actually.

As for whether Stormzy would give Kylie a top 40 hit, the answer here is it's incredibly unlikely that he'd ever feature on a Kylie song.

Posted by: gavindeejay 20th March 2018, 06:41 PM

What about Drake

Posted by: Tombo 20th March 2018, 07:41 PM

Louisa has had 2 Chainz and Eminem dueted with Elton John at The Grammys so it could be possible

Posted by: Cqmerqn 20th March 2018, 08:12 PM

US iTunes has ‘Best Of The Week’, which is essentially ‘Hot Songs’. Wish we would get it back

Me neither, this is indeed a brilliant Carpool video.

All for this climbing. Weren't expecting that effect.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 20th March 2018, 11:45 PM

Well said, I don't think there's much objectivity about whether you prefer Don't Matter Now or Paradise. The former got to #1 in my chart, the latter hasn't charted at all yet, it's quite a clear difference (although I do like the latter and it's been a grower, I am pleased George hasn't fizzled out in his second era after all as he's very talented)

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th March 2018, 11:48 PM

Yeah, but that's not enough.

Posted by: Tombo 21st March 2018, 12:08 AM

It's a shame as it is a good song. I feel bad for older acts that always get shafted by R1.

I wish it was 'Human' instead doing this. I really don't like 'A Thousand Years' whatsoever.

Posted by: Dexton 21st March 2018, 07:27 AM

I preferred Jar Of Hearts

Posted by: Jonjo 21st March 2018, 08:37 AM

Christina's voice is what makes these ballads so timeless and "epic" for me.

She's such a talent. ATY is one of my fave ballads of this Decade.

I wouldn't expect anything new JUST yet. I believe she's literally just had a kid or is about to give birth iirc?

Posted by: ElectroBoy 21st March 2018, 08:57 AM

That the worst; screechy and annoying

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 21st March 2018, 09:04 AM

She only has ONE bordering on ok: this one doing well now

The other two ar screechy cheesy and annoying messes

Posted by: Midge 21st March 2018, 09:17 AM

I like everything I’ve heard from Christina Perri. That’s like 4 songs: "Jar Of Hearts", "Arms", "A Thousand Years" and "Human" - all fantastic.

Posted by: Bjork 21st March 2018, 09:51 AM

agreee, all amazing
still remember hearing Jar of hearts on So you think you can dance, like 1 year before it became a hit

Posted by: vidcapper 21st March 2018, 09:52 AM

Given the subject, it was hardly likely to be a lovefest.

Posted by: gavindeejay 21st March 2018, 12:19 PM

Would Snow Patrol still be seen relevant enough for Radio 1?

Posted by: danG 21st March 2018, 12:54 PM

Depends what the song sounds like but I'm tempted to say no considering the song's being premiered on R2 (Jo Wiley).

Posted by: omrimayo 21st March 2018, 01:27 PM

What time?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st March 2018, 02:00 PM

A) You really need to find some new adjectives. You describe EVERYTHING like this.

B) How is 'A Thousand Years' not cheesy?

'Human' has real genuine heartfelt emotion to it.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st March 2018, 04:21 PM

However, they are performing on the first episode of Sounds Like Friday Night, and so far I don't think they've had any artists who haven't been played on R1 recently.

Posted by: danG 21st March 2018, 05:10 PM

Exactly, lol. Even the title is a cliche. Same for 'Human' in that respect but that doesn't come across as cheesy.

'Jar Of Hearts' is one of my favourite ballads ever so to see it eclipsed by 'A Thousand Years' as the go-to Christina Perri song, to the point where many people probably don't even remember her having any other songs, is rather annoying.

Posted by: Karma 21st March 2018, 05:13 PM

You Are The Reasion - Calum & Leona up to #25! Great to see such staying power on this one

Hope Shawn manages to get a huge lead to take advantage of Drake going to ACR. I feel like streaming is going to be on his side straight away too, so it's just nice that if we get a sign that it's a cert that he'll be #1 next week!

Posted by: The Hissmobile 22nd March 2018, 04:42 PM

Those Panic At The Disco songs are so poppy Wish they'd go back to stuff like their first album.

Posted by: danG 22nd March 2018, 05:04 PM

Hopefully Shawn Mendes being at #1 is just a sign of his fanbase rather than it actually being a #1 contender, and that it falls away quickly (and with it being released on a Thursday its chances of debuting at #1 are less anyway as the diehard fanbase buys won't be reflected in the chart). It sounds like a big hit though judging by the iTunes preview and will probably do well on streaming, so it's probably false hope on my part. Poor 'These Days'.

Posted by: omrimayo 22nd March 2018, 05:07 PM

David Guetta ft. Sia also out. God's mid-tempo. And Bazzi song also out now.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 22nd March 2018, 05:50 PM

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 22nd March 2018, 06:48 PM

I'm really quite peeved Radio 1 playlisting hasn't vaulted Janelle Monáe up like I expected (as it was holding up so well on no support whatsoever).
