16 Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber I Don't Care
Ed is hit and miss for me but this is the best of the year so far refreshing. Actually has a melody!
01. Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber - I Don’t Care
that was fast
Would love it to do over 100,000 this week.
sure they can do it, already #1 on any possible Spotify playlist that exists and unlike Taylor, Ed/Justin are Spotify-friendly artists with a Spotify-friendly song, they should do over 1 million streams per day for sure (even if the song sucks-uh huh huh)
Zayn actually sounds good on A whole new world, the woman he sings it with might wanna try not singing through her nose.
maybe it's cos it has the same title, but the ed/Justin song reminds me of Cheryl's own I Don't Care in the chorus, she should sue them and get some $$$
same for the new Guetta stealing Jamiroquai's melody
I thought of Cheryl song when I first heard it this morning, Obvs this song is better than Cheryls song
44. Kygo & Rita Ora - Carry On
Expecting this to make big gains today!
Ed and Justin genuinely does have similarities to Cheryl’s song! Not just in the chorus either.
#2 down to 0.39 already
What on earth were Avicii's team doing releasing the generic and derivative SOS as the lead single when they were sitting on Tough Love?! Sure, SOS was the safer choice but Tough Love is different and refreshing and would have made people sit up and take notice.
He also completely ripped off Sia with Shape of You, but everybody knows that.
There's also "Shape Of You" being re-credited because of the "No Scrubs" sound-alike (though I'm not sure that was a lawsuit), and Marvin Gaye's estate tried to sue him for "Thinking Out Loud" but that didn't get anywhere.
Just as expected to wake up to this morning, honestly I don't know how Ed and Justin came together for a song that is featured on a Children's movie, about Angry Birds. Go figure I guess this be #1 for the next 3 months for such a dull track.
if having Ed back is not bad enough...
10 James Arthur - falling like the stars
let's buy and stream the original instead
01 Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber 1.0000
02 Lewis Capaldi 0.22
50. David Guetta & RAYE - Stay (Don’t Go Away)
OK then, so that's the #1 sewn on for the first 9 weeks until it goes to ACR.
Oh god... James Arthur... the top 10 is shaping up like a group of dull songwriters, James, Ed, Lewis and Tom Walker mind you I do prefer Tom Walker over the rest
10. James Arthur - Falling like the Stars
20. ZAYN & Zhavia Ward - A Whole New World (End Title)

109. Carly Rae Jepsen - Too Much
120. BABYMETAL - Elevator Girl
206. MK - Body 2 Body
548. Pixie Lott - Fake
I can't see James Arthur falling like the stars in the iTunes chart.
45. David Guetta & RAYE - Stay (Don’t Go Away)
So proud that Pixie is still able to go top 550 on iTunes
a true smash
It's fine apparently the Miley single will be HUGE too
I think only Rihanna can save us or Gaga/Rihanna
weren't they supposed to be releasing a song together?
Pixie after those 5 downloads
Imagine defending that Cheryl song
Definitely preferring Madonna's two grats to Medellín.
Cheryl's 'I Don't Care' was cheap and cheesy but fun!
I just found out how to pause Alexa
Surprised Ed and Justin are not even further ahead, the song is so addictive and perfect. Never was a big fan of Ed but this has changed that. Will be the big seller this year.

James Arthur...what is going on?
I actually really like James Arthur’s new song it’s a bit like Say You Won’t Let Go part 2 so I’m glad it’s doing currently well .
It's funny how up and down James is with his singles. He's very lucky that when he finds the right song it will just take off all by itself, on downloads at least. It's top 15 on U.S. iTunes too.
It forever baffles and frustrates me that James Arthur got a second resurgence. It's just wrong and it shouldn't have happened, and it's still ongoing!

There was an Adele documentary on Channel 5 last night, which is why her songs are rising.
Yes at James Arthur at number 3.
The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it off...
EDIT: also love that new Zayn song. It's his best since Pillowtalk imo. Zhavia is fantastic there too. I had forgotten there was a version of this song from Katie Price and Peter Andre.
In an environment where a near exact clone of James Arthur (with worse songs) can get a song to #1 for 7 weeks it's hardly surprising that the real James Arthur can also still get big hits I loved 'Say You Won't Let Go' so if this song is similar I quite look forward to hearing it ~
James Arthur is nowhere near as awful as he was when his career began but I still wish it had been Matt Cardle that had the career resurgence.
He was a dick to begin with yeah, ‘apologised’ and has been mostly quiet ever since. He must have a great PR team!
29. David Guetta & RAYE - Stay
Was the Adele show a repeat of one that was on before or a totally new one.
I remember one not too long ago on C5.
James Arthur's Empty Space was goods surprised it didn't peak higher, think it peaked at #22
but let's not forget he released that duet with Anne-Marie, one of the worst covers in recent years
You're all acting like James Arthur is going to debut in top ten or sth. The song is currently #63 on Spotify.
All this talk about Cheryl [Insert Current Surname Here] when we all know that the best song called “I Don’t Care” is the one that Shakespear's Sister did in 1992.
What was the last eurovision song to hit #1 on uk? Euphoria?
Speaking of Shakespear's Sister, why is 'Stay' back in the chart? Hands down one of my favourite songs of the 90s

Sad news, Doris Day has died, I expect some of her songs to climb into the iTunes charts
103. Doris Day - Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)
170. Doris Day - Move Over Darling
62. Doris Day - Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)

98. Doris Day - Move Over Darling
152. Doris Day - Secret Love
212. Doris Day - The Black Hills Of Dakota
220. Doris Day - The Deadwood Stage
She was 97 years old, a 50s chart icon!
Doris Day was one of the last 2 living artists who were on the very first UK singles chart (14 November 1952): http://scans.chartarchive.org/UK/1952/01%20-%2015%20November%20-%20NME%20Singles.jpg
Just Vera Lynn (102) still alive now.
RIP.
15. Mark Ronson - Late Night Feelings (feat. Lykke Li)
25. Kygo & Rita Ora - Carry On (From “POKÉMON Detective Pikachu”)
Great to see both of these on the climb!
I feel like 'Late Night Feelings' could be shaping up to be a fairly big hit?
Hopefully, it's a decent follow up. When's the album out?

Not sure why that Petit Piscuit track has climbed, it wasn't a hit over here when it came out. Really like it though.
I've been wondering about that. Sunset Lover has been hovering around the top 200 here for the last 3 months (think I saw it in the top 50 for a bit) and it's even seeing traction on Spotify again, after just being a random playlist forced 'hit' years ago.
