In a perfect world.

Just bought it anyway!

Posted by: Midge Jan 19 2018, 12:11 AM

George Ezra and Kylie bring the fresh bops so far - looking forward to a number of other releases today!

Also have a soft spot for SDJM & Conor Maynard - "That Way"... takes off Backstreet Boys number 1 single "I Want It That Way"...

Supplies is flopping so bad

Posted by: nigels Jan 19 2018, 07:05 AM

Because it’s terrible!!! He’s killed any leftover interest in the album. What an appalling choice of first two singles!

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jan 19 2018, 08:19 AM

He’s having his Britney Jean/Lotus Era.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 19 2018, 08:26 AM

It's amazing And the first one is really good also.

A lot of the new releases are a little... underwhelming.

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 19 2018, 09:08 AM

So much new music out today! Would be nice to have abit of a clear out of the Top 40 but sadly it won’t happen!

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 09:17 AM

I really don't get the hate for supplies. Just seems it's cool to hate on JT now no matter what. People want celebs to speak out about racism, woman's issues etc but when he does it people hate it and say he is a privileged white. I really do hate what's happened to this world...left, feminist, PC bullying culture.

Posted by: Dexton Jan 19 2018, 09:18 AM

I agree, apart from Justin Timberlake & Rudimental Kylie is a mess and George Ezra is such a let down after Don't Matter Now/his last era

Posted by: ElectroTroye Jan 19 2018, 09:23 AM

I was including Rudimental which is alright but hardly instant or a banger.

Agreed on Kylie though

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 19 2018, 09:51 AM

So much this. Happend to Taylor last year, now him. Predictable and stupid and nothing to do with their music.

Posted by: Bjork Jan 19 2018, 09:57 AM

Nobody hates justin
Everybodys just disappointed cos of the
crappy 2 singles

All newies this week are terrible on 1st listen
The only semi decent one is Troye sivans
Even if it is zero original
and a Sufjan copycat

Kylie at 4 I know It means nothing ATM as she hasn't had a sizeable hit in nearly a decade but that's impressive (did JT even get that high) even if sales are low hopefully she can hold up well and not do a steps

Posted by: iain Jan 19 2018, 10:08 AM

Kylie up to 2.

Posted by: Bré Jan 19 2018, 10:09 AM

Kylie up to #2, I imagine she'll do nothing on streaming but could get a top 40 hit for a week similar to Steps?

Posted by: M4NG0 Jan 19 2018, 10:19 AM

Wow @ Kylie, wasn't expecting it to go that high. I wanted it to be amazing but I'm a bit underwhelmed by it tbh

I don't get the hate for 'Supplies', and I don't get why it's flopping either, it's a hundred times better than 'Filthy'!

New George Ezra and Mabel/Not3s are decent too

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 19 2018, 10:25 AM

I don't think Kylie's track is a mess at all.

It's way better and more interesting than Into The Blue for me, both lyrically and musically. I'm really happy with it and glad it's doing well for her on iTunes.

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 10:26 AM

Have a look on twitter pure abuse because of him and not all because of the music.

Posted by: ddarko77 Jan 19 2018, 10:27 AM

For some reason Kylie is showing @ 24 for me.
It has been up and down all day!

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 19 2018, 10:32 AM

Again, this. To say it's just because NO ONE like all of a sudden his music that's a lie and to be blind. Nothing changes not for him or Taylor with their music, not 180 degrees change anyway and suddenly it's hated in the most ugly way. Fine they'll live.

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 19 2018, 10:33 AM

I've found that LivePopBars has been lagging and switching between updates so I've been looking at the chart directly on iTunes. LivePopBars is showing Kylie at #2 for me now though.

Posted by: Avicii Jan 19 2018, 10:35 AM

Well with the music video being somewhat political it was always going to be controversial... and the song isn't the most accessible either.

Go Kylie for that #1!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 19 2018, 11:52 AM

I never expected Kylie to get anywhere near that high. That's amazing.

With it being #2 on the NMF playlist and imagining it could get quite a few curiosity streams, maybe it could do alright on Spotify for one day at least?

Posted by: Zárate Jan 19 2018, 11:56 AM

I secretly hope BMG cashes out a bit on making Kylie to some key Spotify playlists, the song is potentially quite Spotify friendly and could turn into sizeable hit which should help launching the album a lot. All of that is wishful thinking of course.

Shocked at Kylie. It’s just such a blah nothingy song.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 19 2018, 12:19 PM

He is awful and built his career on tearing Britney down with whinebucket songs.

As he said himself, what goes around, comes around.

Had Britney or a woman released cheese like CSTF it woulda flopped.

There IS a double-standard in music... but it favours men.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 19 2018, 12:23 PM

WHAT?! You're the perfect blind hate example, and at least his tour is doing amazingly and sold out all of those dates in a day, So I guess not really WGACA in that case. I'm a Britney Fan and it's nonsense, really because of her he's that huge? 15 years ago? All the albums and songs that came after? And He wasn't even trash her, and he's still much much much more relevant than her in the past 10 plus years anyway, so...

Posted by: pippa Jan 19 2018, 12:25 PM

Go Kylie. If she can make the top 40 on Friday its a good result for her.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 19 2018, 12:28 PM

Why not? I think she will and she'll do better than pepole thinks on Spotify and easily will be top 40.

Posted by: bluebitchboy Jan 19 2018, 12:34 PM

Although I'm definitely a Kylie fan, I'm also pretty straight forward - I absolutely hated 'Kiss Me Once', there's barely a half decent song on that album.
This feels different, 'dancing' is lyrically really nice and the song, whilst taking a few lostens, is ingrained in my head. I do think it will have at least some appeal outside of her fanbase, and she hasn't had a song like that since 'all the lovers'.

Honestly expected The Chainsmokers to have at least troubled the top 20 on iTunes!

Posted by: M4NG0 Jan 19 2018, 02:09 PM

Also being a Kylie fan, it's the complete opposite for me - I thought 'Kiss Me Once' was her best album in years but find the new single very average. I'm more than happy for it to give her another Top 40 though!

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 19 2018, 02:23 PM

Just listened to that new Kylie song. Managed about 20 seconds of it.

WOEFUL

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 19 2018, 02:35 PM

It doesn’t even get going 20 seconds in.

Posted by: darrens94 Jan 19 2018, 02:40 PM

What song does the rudimental track sound like? It sounds very similar to something but can’t get it.

Posted by: Knightr634 Jan 19 2018, 02:42 PM

1. Eminem - 1.0000
2. Kylie - 0.9651

Next update and she should be #1

Posted by: ElectroTroye Jan 19 2018, 02:42 PM

Kylie heading for the top judging by the last Kworb update

1 Eminem - River (feat. Ed Sheeran) = 1.000 [Dark Red]
2 Kylie Minogue - Dancing = 0.9651 [Green]

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 19 2018, 02:43 PM

Sounds like any of Macklemore's recent music to me; you can barely recognise Rudimental's input.

Posted by: Regina Jan 19 2018, 02:44 PM

Well well well, Kylie doing WAY better than I thought if she does go #1 then it'll be the highest she's ever been on itunes I think?

Dancing is a nice change for her, less in your face brash production and more focus on melody, lyrics and vocals

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra Jan 19 2018, 02:51 PM

Wasn't All The Lovers an iTunes #1 at some point?

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 19 2018, 02:52 PM

Not that I could see when I checked back earlier today. Seemed to stall at #3 for ages (behind the World Cup songs 'Shout' and 'Waving Flag', if I recall correctly).

Posted by: Midge Jan 19 2018, 03:04 PM

The last time we had Kylie and Eminem battling for number 1 was "Spinning Around" being knocked off by "The Real Slim Shady" though "Just Lose It" and "I Believe In You" must’ve been at the top end a similar time too!

Posted by: Joe. Jan 19 2018, 03:05 PM

That was back when iTunes had huge sales though, a legitimate hit!

This looks suspiciously like it might stall at 2

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 19 2018, 03:08 PM

With both Kylie aongs being magnitudes better than the Eminem ones

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 19 2018, 03:35 PM

OMG Kylie at #2 I didn't even know she had a new single out, I'm so out of the loop with new music.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 19 2018, 03:41 PM

Listening to the track, bit country-ish, gets better as the track goes on, I feel a bit underwhelm though, I was expecting something with a pop dance beat from her, The track seems unfinished to me by the time you get to the end of it.

Posted by: SmileyKylie Jan 19 2018, 04:00 PM

Let's go Kylie! Great to see a 49 year old legend making a move up the Itunes chart and without any pre orders etc. And no video yet! She should have released some physicals

Posted by: The Snake Jan 19 2018, 04:07 PM

So did I! I was hoping for another 'On A Night Like This' or '100 Degrees (Still Disco To Me)'.

Posted by: Regina Jan 19 2018, 04:19 PM

You wont be getting any of that from this album.

Posted by: Euphorique Jan 19 2018, 04:45 PM

Kylie #1

Posted by: iain Jan 19 2018, 04:57 PM

Kylie still no 2 for me?

Posted by: Euphorique Jan 19 2018, 05:07 PM

You're right. Some Kylie fan is spilling the wrong info lol

Posted by: mrbrightside Jan 19 2018, 05:11 PM

What is Justin thinking with these first two songs? I'm sure he must have better music waiting to be released as I heard clips of songs from his album advert which sounded promising.

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 06:11 PM

People are full of shit these days, wouldn't listen to them. The bloke is about to do the Superbowl, have a massive tour and no1 album haha, who has the last laugh. Talent definitely wins.

Posted by: 777666jason Jan 19 2018, 06:18 PM

So Justin hasn’t budged from 52 practically all day

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 19 2018, 06:26 PM

GaGa did Superbowl. Still flopped.

Album will have Witness level success scaled up for a man in today's sexist market.

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra Jan 19 2018, 06:49 PM

Kygo doesn't do country music though. It's more Avicii-ish but even he doesn't do that type of country EDM anymore.

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 07:07 PM

Oh go away. Being white and male is a negative these days. What a load of bollocks! 2018 is a joke....everything is sexist, racist etc etc. You really are a cock.

Waiting for the ban but who cares....on a music forum and someone thinks sexism is a thing in music in 2018 when white men are getting so much shit.

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 19 2018, 07:11 PM

Let's just keep it civil, yeah?

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 07:13 PM

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 19 2018, 07:28 PM

Female no.1s last year: TWO

White men are the dominant force in society still... like by a lot. We don't even have equal pay yet. Female stars are set against each other and have fan wars, reducing their longevity. Radio1 FAPS over Pharrell, Robin Thycke etc but refuses to play women over a certain age...

People should highlight sexism. It's still not gone.

Posted by: No Sleeep Jan 19 2018, 07:30 PM

Out of 14 #1s last year, only 3 had a woman credited as the lead artist (and one of those featured a man)... and you don't think sexism exists in music?

Posted by: The Snake Jan 19 2018, 07:36 PM

I am going against popular opinion here but I don't think there is sexism in music tbh. Radio stations play a wide range of songs from both male and female artists, there is a market for both and both male and female artists do chart highly.

Posted by: JosephSivan Jan 19 2018, 07:37 PM

ie. a sign that last year simply had some pretty huge tracks by men. It's not sexism, it's just that huge hits from women were scarce in the first half of the year. In the latter part of the year, Taylor, Dua, P!nk, Camila, Rita and others proved, whether they got to #1 or not, that women can just as easily get big hits...

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 19 2018, 07:38 PM

Oh, come off it! I'm not even disagreeing with your general point, but you spend most of your sad existence on here doing just that and making derogatory comments about most female pop stars.

Don't be a hypocrite.

Posted by: Dart Jan 19 2018, 07:38 PM

I think female dominated Q3 and Q4 tbh

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jan 19 2018, 07:40 PM

Red update for Kylie

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 19 2018, 07:41 PM

I want to apologise for my language and messages but I am so frustrated at what's happening in music. I have been a big fan of Justin for years and he is very talented but is getting abuse no matter what he does. He speaks up about racism and feminist issues...gets abuse....says nothing....gets abuse.

Apologies again but sexism is NOT in music.

Posted by: Evil Houdini Jan 19 2018, 08:08 PM

Ramz might get a boost tomorrow as he is performing Barking on Soccer AM. I can't get into the song still after listening to it a few more times.

Hypocrite?

I am harsh on ALL bad singers, male or female

Posted by: Esmerelda Jan 19 2018, 08:36 PM

Females definitely struggle on streaming services. Out of the top 100 most streamed songs, there are only about 7 female only songs and only 3 in the top 50 (Hello, Chandelier and Cheap Thrills)

Posted by: Hadji Jan 19 2018, 08:39 PM

How come the single version of “My Lover” has been made album only and you can only purchase the Mabel remix?

Posted by: mdh Jan 19 2018, 08:42 PM

i'm sorry but since WHEN did radio 1 'fap over' Robin Thicke

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 19 2018, 08:44 PM

Primarily, the way you obsessively troll Britney, Katy and Gaga's forums tearing them down and celebrating their 'failures' and you just lamented how the media do this. That's what I mean by 'hypocrite'.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 19 2018, 08:52 PM

Now though, there being less female artists doing well on streaming services is maybe because urban music has dominated recently and there are lots more male than female popular urban performers around at the minute?

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 19 2018, 09:21 PM

My word, a top 3 of Eminem, Kylie Minogue & Craig David! Timewarped back to 2000

How does Kylie go from 0.943 to 0.95 and still go red?

Posted by: JosephSivan Jan 19 2018, 10:45 PM

Because it's all relative to the #1. River is also in red, but has fallen a little faster.

Posted by: Joe. Jan 19 2018, 10:47 PM

Kylie not being included in ‘Today’s Hits’ on the front of iTunes despite being #2 is a bit of an unfortunate mess and has probably cost her iTunes #1.

Biggest new stars in recent 6 months are female: SZA, Cardi B and Camila Cabello. Two of them are going to make their Grammy debut next week.

Sigrid won BBC Sound of poll.

Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Rihanna and possibly Beyonce are releasing new albums this year.

Female artists are doing pretty great.

Well it hasn't helped that Adele, Taylor, Rihanna and Beyonce have all held back releases from streaming/Spotify over the last few years.

That is what I'd say is the 4 biggest female artists in the industry who have taken a while to embrace streaming/Spotify fully for various reasons.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2018, 10:25 AM

Did someone mention Drake again I just hope its a short stay at #1, if the track gets there, but I can't see the track holding on for weeks after One Dance. Some performer from the BRITS might just end up there next month, to be honest let Drake get a #1 now, and hopefully Dua Lipa with IDGAF after her performance might just do it, unless Ed Sheeran sticks his oar in.

Posted by: BridgeCow Jan 20 2018, 10:27 AM

Sigrid!!

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 20 2018, 10:28 AM

Passionfruit or anything from his last album didn’t get anywhere near Number 1 so at least there’s still some hope he won’t go to the top! I just previewed the song on iTunes and it bores me to death!

Posted by: Dexton Jan 20 2018, 10:30 AM

Yeah I really can't see God's Plan going #1, I think a Top 10/20 debut and climbing to a Top 5 peak on a quiet week

Posted by: Avicii Jan 20 2018, 10:34 AM

yeah I can't really see this Drake single doing as well as 'Passionfruit', think it'll enter top 10 on name power but won't challenge for #1.

Posted by: PeaceMob Jan 20 2018, 10:45 AM

Drake has killed it again with "God's Plan". Love it. Hopefully another top 10 hit.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2018, 10:51 AM

I find Drake's music lately a bit of a miss anyway. I like to see Dua Lipa get another #1 to be honest next month, I think she deserves it, Ed Sheeran is just there in your face all the time, got nothing against the bloke, but he just needs to take a break, preferably like a 3 year break. And just let new British talent get there, Mabel and Jorja Smith are probably the ones to watch out for in 2018, not fan of Jorja Smith though, but I like to see new British talent get recognise at least. Ed Sheeran is just there constantly, he needs to bugger off a bit, pardon the expression.

Posted by: PeaceMob Jan 20 2018, 10:58 AM

Yeah "IDGAF" is a real grower, just like "New Rules" was. Wouldn't mind that at #1 at some point.

Posted by: 777666jason Jan 20 2018, 11:04 AM

Didn't he re release multiply though so I don't think he'll dissapear until next year at earliest

Not another passionfruit

Posted by: Dexton Jan 20 2018, 11:10 AM

To be fair the Wembley/other 3-4 releases of Multiply didn’t really have any big singles. Lay It All On Me was big I guess so maybe an Ed Sheeran feature could come later on in the year after the 5th Divide single in Feb.

I like Ed Sheeran even though he is one of the most overplayed artists ever. I feel like he’ll still be mostly present throughout 2018 but after that won’t come back until 2022 with another album full of #1s. Hopefully next time he’ll learn not to double release like he did with Castle & Shape so he can grab an extra #1

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 20 2018, 11:33 AM

Love the new Drake, I think it's a smash.

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 20 2018, 11:56 AM

I find the Sigrid track doing so well very bizarre considering Don't Kill My Vibe sounds far more commercial & wide-appealing!

Posted by: Dart Jan 20 2018, 12:02 PM

Strangers is much more commercial

Posted by: mdh Jan 20 2018, 12:06 PM

can someone tell me why Sigrid is #1

Posted by: Avicii Jan 20 2018, 12:07 PM

Graham Norton

Posted by: Midge Jan 20 2018, 12:07 PM

Because "Strangers" has outsold all other tracks on iTunes over the past 24 hours.

Posted by: T Boy Jan 20 2018, 12:45 PM

Omg, actually quoting Snake as a voice of truth here

I really don’t see the sexism most claim. So no.1s were a bit male heavy at the beginning of last year. Between June and September 2006, McFly were the only male artists to get a no.1 with Sandi Thom, Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Lily Allen and Beyonce all being at the top spot. That’s not forgetting the massive hits from Rihanna, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Cassie and the female fronted Rogue Traders and Cascada being massive chart forces. Are we supposed to be more sexist now than we were then?

It’s extremely naive to label the music buying public as sexist purely based on who’s no.1. It actually detracts from the fact that a lot of male artists are making music people love. Most of the public don’t base their listening habits on an artists’ gender. There were lots of big female lead hits last year in the end and there will always continue to be.

Big Sound of 2018 impact, like Jessie J with Do It Like A Dude had only bigger!

That Sigrid song is a lot better than Don't Kill My Vibe which was too serious and Sia-esque melodramatic for my liking.

Sounds a bit early 10s EDM-pop too.

the other new drake song is doing absolutely nothing despite all the name dropping, j-lo, beyonce,...

Posted by: Bré Jan 20 2018, 09:30 PM

'God's Plan' up to #2. It might actually have a shot at #1 this week if Drake is still able to command huge streaming numbers with anything he releases (but that wasn't really the case for 'Signs' so it's not a given).

It's essentially a B-side, the 2 songs have been released as a 'single' called 'Scary Hours', so the only people buying 'Diplomatic Immunity' on its own are either people who only like that and not 'God's Plan', or people who don't realise you can get both songs and save 19p by just downloading 'Scary Hours' Not surprising that it's making no impact on iTunes in its own right.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 20 2018, 09:40 PM

Signs was never a single and came as weird and was after 20 songs that sounds the same from him. This is really good and I hope his streams will be huge to win the worst number 1 now. Let's face it, it's sales are bigger as of now than river but even if he'll be behind.. River streaming power is not THAT impressive. It's doable.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 20 2018, 11:05 PM

Posted by: Dexton Jan 21 2018, 04:23 AM

With even the slightest bit of streaming support she could be a surefire #1 contender. All she needs is to be Hot Hits, even if she was low down on the playlist she'd be getting plays to put her into the Top 200, then from then on she'd just continue up.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Jan 21 2018, 08:13 AM

Very surprised to see Drake so high, but God's Plan is a tune! Really reminds me of 'Take Care' era Drake.

They deleted the single version at some time yesterday. The other two versions (one from the explicit soundtrack and the other from the clean version) were well outside the Top 200 then but now I’m seeing one version at 73 and the other at 99 on kworb.

18. Kylie - Dancing

Posted by: Steve201 Jan 21 2018, 02:28 PM

Kylie performing a bit like Steps last week, the pace it's falling makes me think it'll prob not go top 40 as she's prob only sold around 1000-3000 copies since Friday.

On the gender debate I think radio plays a mix of both. I personally don't take any notice of the gender of the artists and listen to the song before Deciding if I like it....

Hope Strangers can continue to build a decent download lead and spotify playlists it. The performance on Norton was really brill on Friday!

Posted by: 777666jason Jan 21 2018, 02:32 PM

Why does drake keep releasing 2 songs at a time 1 always flops

Also are the same people buying all 3 versions of perfect they been close the last few days

Posted by: Avicii Jan 21 2018, 03:33 PM

I think the whole point of Drake dropping two songs at once is one is catered for the radio/charts and the other is more for the fans. It's essentially a modern-day B-side.

Plus, 'Diplomatic Immunity' isn't necessarily flopping, it's top 20 on Spotify and quite a few people are probably buying the whole 'Scary Hours' release (19p cheaper than buying both songs separately) which only counts towards the chart position of 'God's Plan'.

Posted by: Steve201 Jan 21 2018, 03:46 PM

Yeh Ed did it too -- it's a good idea as it builds the album or comeback better!

Posted by: Bjork Jan 21 2018, 03:49 PM

the other song might have the worst lyrics ever, not sure if it really helps

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 21 2018, 11:21 PM

It feels so unfair this is actually happening to Kylie when you look at some of the absolute SHIT that is above it.

Posted by: Evil Houdini Jan 22 2018, 12:02 AM

How is it unfair? the song is as low as it is because people who use iTunes are not liking it as much as the other 18 songs ahead of it. There's nothing unfair about the iTunes chart, it's all based on fact unlike some other charts at the moment.

Posted by: jase. Jan 22 2018, 12:04 AM

It's unfair because a lot of the songs above Kylie don't deserve to be above Kylie, that's all he's saying

It's pointless trying with him, unfortunately.

Posted by: Evil Houdini Jan 22 2018, 12:16 AM

Surprised to see Harry Styles still in the top 10 with a song that is nearly a year old.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 22 2018, 12:23 AM

Well, it's just my opinion. I am saddened by it falling down because of songs I consider to be absolute shit remaining above it. So, is that OK with you?

The Kylie song is so generic imo, just sounds like a Kygo dancepop song, tbh I am glad it is falling now.

So disappointing from Kylie to see her following today's boring slow dancepop trend, considering I like a lot of her songs

Posted by: M4NG0 Jan 22 2018, 12:25 PM

To be fair a lot of her previous stuff is also "slow dancepop" (Into The Blue for example) so I don't think you can accuse her of jumping on any current trends.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 22 2018, 12:30 PM

Maybe I was a bit harsh, I suppose the verses are good on 'Dancing' but it just the chorus and drop that makes it sound generic to me.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 22 2018, 12:42 PM

I really refute the suggestion that it sounds like Kygo.

Posted by: Bjork Jan 22 2018, 12:55 PM

amazed anyone can suggest the new kylie sounds like kygo
for someone obsessed with classifying every song, you're clueless as usual

Posted by: The Snake Jan 22 2018, 12:57 PM

Well it does sound in terms of style like that sort of It Ain't Me-esque mix of country influenced verses, slow dance chorus and pitched vocal drop to me!

Anyway......

I wish Diplomatic Immunity was the Drake song doing well, its better than God's Plan imo. I don't like Drake's singing at all really, his rapping is better.

Posted by: Midge Jan 22 2018, 12:58 PM

"Dancing" is not slow/downtempo, it is mid-tempo. Just like "Slow" or "All The Lovers".

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 22 2018, 01:22 PM

'Slow' and 'All The Lovers' are her two best! What a forgotten beauty 'Slow' is

And if 'Dancing' sounds like anything, it's Wiktoria - As I Lay Me Down (just obviously a slower tempo & not as powerful imo)

Posted by: The Snake Jan 22 2018, 01:25 PM

Well Slow is good, All The Lovers is a bit boring imo. My fave Kylie song is 'On A Night Like This'.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Jan 22 2018, 03:32 PM

Slow is a song I like but all the lovers is one of kylies finest.
The chorus of dancing is great but I don't like the verses at all but would love kylie to get her 51st top 40 hit.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Jan 22 2018, 03:49 PM

I was just aboot to say the same!

Shoulda been a no.1.

2. Get Outta Ma Way
3. All The Lovers

Posted by: Scene Jan 22 2018, 06:20 PM

I always used to skip Slow on the music channels as a kid, never one of my favourites from her. Red Blooded Woman and I Believe In You would've been more deserving #1's imo.

While i would not be as harsh, this comment isnt to far from the truth for me. I really believe Kylie could have come back with something far better than this. Kylie, knows how to make a comeback, she has done it several times in the past but she returned with something that was different and she knew how to draw attention to herself. While, the days of big Kylie success are over i still don't think she can manage to deliver material that her hardcore fans truly enjoy let alone the mass public.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 24 2018, 02:54 PM

I do think with acts Kylie and Madonna, their days of single success coincided with CD singles dying out around 2010 time. They used to rely on fans collecting those to give them those boosts up the chart. Plus that was around the time Radio 1 dumped them too.

it also coincides wih a drop in quality, especially in the case of Madonna, and I'm a big fan, that Gimme all your love with Niki Minaj was a career killer

Posted by: M4NG0 Jan 24 2018, 04:30 PM

Would have to agree, Gimme All Your Luvin' was a big drop in quality for her

Posted by: Bjork Jan 24 2018, 04:37 PM

if you compare Madonna's lead singles, you have Like a prayer, Frozen, Hung up, Music
and then you got Gimme all your love ;/

Is it just me or is Drake going to snatch the #1 in the end, just noticed the numbers on Spotify

Posted by: The Snake Jan 24 2018, 05:05 PM

Is this the new Hozier? His name is similar!

Posted by: Bjork Jan 24 2018, 05:27 PM

lol just cos it start with Ho?

Posted by: shindymindy Jan 24 2018, 05:46 PM

No, because if you say his name it sounds the same.

01. Ramz - Barking

According to Kworb anyway

booo

I don’t get the hate for Dancing. I am loving it! Best single of Kylie’s since Get Outta My Way.

4 Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still

unbelievable this song continues to defy the odds

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 24 2018, 10:04 PM

Downloaded this months ago - so pleased it’s becoming a huge air, it’s too good not to be a smash.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 24 2018, 10:06 PM

10 Dua Lipa - IDGAF

Coming for that #1 Hopefully it might give her album a decent boost too with the Brits coming up.

Posted by: Avicii Jan 24 2018, 10:27 PM

Can't see Dua getting to #1 even with the BRITs, Drake's streams are just too strong.

Posted by: Evil Houdini Jan 24 2018, 10:54 PM

God's Plan will probably be the year end #1 for 2018.

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 25 2018, 12:25 AM

Hope not!

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 25 2018, 06:41 AM

All 3 songs at the top are 99-100%. Lol.

Posted by: Scene Jan 25 2018, 10:59 AM

I think that time came in 2008 with the dreadful Hard Candy era.

Posted by: Dircadirca Jan 25 2018, 11:02 AM

Haha what the?! That's the Voice Australia 2017 runner up's runner up single, what's it doing here

Posted by: Avicii Jan 25 2018, 12:04 PM

A listed on radio 2

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 25 2018, 12:20 PM

Drake number 1 on ITunes for all the people complained he get the official number 1 only by streaming and now after 6 days he still gaining and number 1 in both. Must be A/B-Listed on Radio 1 tomorrow.

Posted by: darrens94 Jan 25 2018, 12:24 PM

Bit weird playlisting The Voice Australia runner up especially since it was released in July

Posted by: 777666jason Jan 25 2018, 12:42 PM

Has a single voice uk winner had a playlist slot ?

Posted by: Hadji Jan 25 2018, 01:55 PM

Ew at Drake going to #1

Posted by: Evil Houdini Jan 25 2018, 02:00 PM

Do you think Drake will be track 1 on CD 1 of Now That's What I Call Music! 99?

Posted by: Avicii Jan 25 2018, 02:09 PM

Unlikely, he's very funny about licensing to compilations now, Hotline Bling was only on NOW well after it left the chart and I don't believe any of his other recent singles have made it onto NOW.

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 25 2018, 02:18 PM

'One Dance' was on Now 95, but nothing from him since has appeared.

Posted by: GTH Jan 25 2018, 02:24 PM

Well 4 Minutes and Give It 2 Me we’re big hits still, and Celebration did ok in the charts so there was definitely still interest in Madge around that era and for a few years after.

MDNA definitely seemed like the point things stopped going so well. GMAYL just scraping top 40 (from what I recall it got hindered by instant grat rules at the time), seemed to be all most radio stations that cater to young audiences needed to justify not playing her anymore.

Posted by: AngelaKD Jan 25 2018, 02:26 PM

Has a Voice UK winner ever had a proper single with a full label launch?

Posted by: Hadji Jan 25 2018, 03:06 PM

I noticed a pattern that every artist who has topped the chart between 98 and 99 refuses to allow their music onto compilations (Ed Sheeran, Eminem and Drake) which means that NOW 99 could be without a #1

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 25 2018, 03:32 PM

Ed Sheeran allowed Galway Girl on to 98, so might just let 'Perfect' onto 99. It's only SOY he hasn't licensed out to compelations.

Posted by: Liаm Jan 25 2018, 03:56 PM

They've all been signed and released singles, but I'd definitely not say full label launch It says it all that the highest 2nd single (ie not their winning single) is Andrea's Dancing In The Dark at number 103 Tbh that's part of the reason why I can't get into The Voice properly, it hardly matters who wins. It's like a glorified karaoke competition, you get all these people saying they entered because they want to be as big as Beyonce or whatever but in reality if the're lucky they'll scrape like top 75 with their winning single and maybe have a one week wonder top 40 album. Say what you want about XF but at least even the likes of Louisa and Matt who've flopped as winners have been given something.

Posted by: Avicii Jan 25 2018, 04:12 PM

exactly lol. The most successful act to come from The Voice UK (Becky Hill) didn't even make the finals!

Posted by: Hadji Jan 25 2018, 04:24 PM

He’s 50/50 with licensing. The only compilations he allows his music onto is the main NOW series hence why he’s never on any of their spin-offs or any other compilation

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 25 2018, 04:31 PM

He's licensed Perfect to Bravo Hits 100 in Germany so I think it will definitely appear on Now 99, odd that Shape Of You was vetoed but every other single is apparently fair game.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 25 2018, 06:08 PM

The new JT won't do a thing of course but it's a masterpiece and everyone loves it.

Posted by: Dart Jan 25 2018, 06:09 PM

Lady Gaga for #1 tomorrow!

Posted by: Steve201 Jan 25 2018, 06:23 PM

I'm loving another one hit wonder indie hit but why do they always have to be so watered down that they sound like everything else in the chart - bit like a maroon 5 song?!

Posted by: mdh Jan 25 2018, 06:25 PM

surely if everyone loved it it'd do something

Posted by: Lomadz Jan 25 2018, 06:52 PM

Agreed, is a classic. Just incredible! No wonder people are losing interest in the charts knowing that songs like this flop.

Posted by: SameBoy Jan 25 2018, 06:54 PM

86 Thirty Seconds to Mars - Dangerous Night

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 25 2018, 06:56 PM

Well it's already playlisted on Radio 2, so hopefully the local stations such as Heart who ignored 'Filthy' will get on board with this!

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 25 2018, 06:59 PM

Ooh it is?

I had a feeling this will be one of those songs that gets big airplay on the more adult stations, but doesn't do anything chart wise. I can see it being a big hit on US radio tbh. Especially if he services it to Country and adult contemporary stations.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Jan 25 2018, 07:15 PM

Dear god no.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 25 2018, 07:25 PM

Impossible but I’d rather have her at #1 over Drake

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Jan 25 2018, 07:33 PM

Let's not be silly now...

Posted by: Midge Jan 25 2018, 07:37 PM

Lady GaGa's farts sound better than Drake's

Posted by: chartjack Jan 25 2018, 07:44 PM

Any entries for The Fall?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 25 2018, 07:45 PM

Isn't Lady Gaga only releasing an acoustic version of a Joanne album track?

Or is there actually something more exciting than that coming tomorrow?

Posted by: Nick Jonas Jan 25 2018, 08:19 PM

The former + a music video.

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 25 2018, 08:33 PM

Amy update on JT or flopping? It's doing the best so far in the US, already 6.

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 25 2018, 09:02 PM

#59 on iTunes

Posted by: M4NG0 Jan 25 2018, 09:17 PM

How do you know? Have you heard both of their farts?

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 25 2018, 09:17 PM

I would love to see Donovan enter the chart with 'Hurdy Gurdy Man', its the theme tune to Sky Atlantic's new series Britannia

Posted by: omrimayo Jan 25 2018, 09:24 PM

The peak for supplies was 52... Let's see tomorrow. It was released 4 hours earlier.

Posted by: SameBoy Jan 25 2018, 09:45 PM

48 Thirty Seconds To Mars - Dangerous Night
53 Justin Timberlake - Say Something (feat. Chris Stapleton)

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 25 2018, 10:36 PM

I have heard the odd song by both of them which I'm sure is directly comparable.

Posted by: jase. Jan 26 2018, 12:11 AM

What on earth is silly about that? Drake's been horrific for a while now?
