A reminder from Froot ;o -

... then come back here after 3pm to discuss the iTunes movements of these songs. Well, unless iTunes is frozen and then we won't be able to do so.

Posted by: Ryan. 25th December 2015, 09:45 AM

Fleur already up to #6!!

Kworb says 9..?

Is kworb behind?

Posted by: JosephCarey 25th December 2015, 09:52 AM

Kworb only updates every 2 or so hours

Posted by: sammy01 25th December 2015, 09:55 AM

Little Mix singles and albums seem to be getting a decent boost. Wonder if they could finally get top 10 with Love me like you.

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 09:59 AM

the second version of the choir already down at #9

Adele - Hello to #8 and #10

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 10:25 AM

so even the buzzjack homepage feed is behind? still doesn't show Adele

Posted by: gooddelta 25th December 2015, 10:37 AM

Omg at Love Yourself back to 0.79 already. If only this had happened yesterday!

Coming for that hugely embarrassing drop from No.1, I wonder how the media will react to that *goes 1-OUT and gets swept under the carpet*

Posted by: *Xmas Ben* 25th December 2015, 10:38 AM

Now down to #12

Sax at #5

Posted by: GTH 25th December 2015, 10:41 AM

Depending on how the chart goes today, I can see it holding up for a couple days with additional media coverage (assuming it beats Justin). Streaming is really going make this song suffer next week for sure. I expect something like 1-16-OUT.

Posted by: Doboggan 25th December 2015, 10:43 AM

Are we really expecting the Choir to actually be #1? Only been following bits this week but it looked like Bieber had it in the bag to me...

Posted by: Christmaseve201 25th December 2015, 10:44 AM

It undoubtedly will drop 1/2-40 or more I'd say!

Posted by: gooddelta 25th December 2015, 10:47 AM

They soared ahead in the last two days after massive media coverage and Bieber tweeted to support the song himself.

It probably sold more in the last two days than it did in the other five days of the week.

But yeah, I see the choir leaving the top 40 from No.1, utterly ridiculous.

Posted by: Doboggan 25th December 2015, 10:48 AM

Hmmm I still think the surge ahead came too late but we shall see!

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 10:56 AM

really shows what a promotional thing was the choir, embarrassing chart run

Posted by: ML Hammer95 25th December 2015, 10:59 AM

854. Kid Ink feat. Fetty Wap - Promise

New Kid Ink album dropped today, this is a straight up banger!

Fetty Wap is going to be the go-to guy for hooks in 2016 I reckon...

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 25th December 2015, 11:01 AM

Some need to realise the whole point of the choir song was to get to Xmas number 1 to promote a (good) cause. The campaign has already stopped after being a huge success.

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 11:07 AM

or maybe to promote gareth malone alongside the (good) cause..

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 25th December 2015, 11:14 AM

Lol it takes all sorts.
Happy Xmas

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th December 2015, 11:14 AM

Bieber likely to be #1 in the next update - Pleased the NHS kept it for as long as they did, Total underdogs that nobody suspected would even come close.

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 11:27 AM

indeed bieber at #1 now

Posted by: Michael Bubré 25th December 2015, 11:41 AM

Well... that was an impressively fast reclaiming of the #1 from the lead NHS Choir had. I guess some people have still got gift cards (an inexplicably large number of them seem to be buying that awful Ariana Grande thing - or is that just the 2015 equivalent of getting coal in their stockings? ) Would be slightly surprised if NHS Choir DOESN'T break the record drop for #1 at this rate.

Wow at Adele getting 2 versions top 10 again! Don't know why they haven't deleted the single version yet...

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th December 2015, 12:10 PM

Adele 7 & 8 - Back to #1 please next Sunday

Posted by: Hadji 25th December 2015, 12:12 PM

I take it that it's due to the gift card effect?

Posted by: *Xmas Ben* 25th December 2015, 12:13 PM

Yep I think the gift card effect is in full force now

Posted by: Hadji 25th December 2015, 12:14 PM

Silentó and KSI at #41 and #42. Only thing I hate about the gift card effect is people buying the old songs instead of the new ones

Posted by: Danta Claus 25th December 2015, 12:37 PM

partly yes but also Sax is still being used in the Asda advert

Posted by: Sproot. 25th December 2015, 12:39 PM

Thanks Jay!

Posted by: TheGrinch 25th December 2015, 12:55 PM

Sproot actually doing some work?

14. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You [Slaying]
22. Ariana Grande - Focus
26. Years & Years - Eyes Shut
27. Little Mix - Black Magic

Posted by: Hadji 25th December 2015, 01:21 PM

And it's on TOTP later

Posted by: sammy01 25th December 2015, 01:30 PM

Sax is feeling like a 1 hit wonder/novelty song, the album is still outside the top 75 on itunes.

Posted by: SKOB 25th December 2015, 01:40 PM

The iTunes gift card effect doesn't seem very strong... maybe kids are getting Spotify gift cards instead.

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th December 2015, 01:41 PM

I don't know anyone that would want or have received an iTunes gift card this year - 2 years ago everybody wanted one.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 25th December 2015, 01:49 PM

The heroic decline down the chart has already begun for NHS Choir I see.

Posted by: Michael Bubré 25th December 2015, 01:50 PM

The gift card effect is about as big as it was last year. I actually thought it would be less than this.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 25th December 2015, 01:54 PM

05. Fleur East "Sax" (+ #82)
36. Sam Smith "Writing's on the Wall"
37. Silento "Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)" (+ #51)!
40. KSI "Keep Up (feat. JME)"

Wouldn't have expected to see the Bond theme getting a boost, wonder how much higher it'll get.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 25th December 2015, 01:58 PM

Let this be a lesson kids, gambling is bad for you!

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 25th December 2015, 01:59 PM

Yassss please!!

Merry Xmas y'all btw!!

Little mix heading in the wrong direction

Posted by: n4yr 25th December 2015, 03:16 PM

NHS to #3 & 22.

Posted by: sammy01 25th December 2015, 03:24 PM

Love me like you #16, #77, #126 and #168

Posted by: Jack 25th December 2015, 03:53 PM

Pretty sure a second single will get at least top 20.

Stay bitter.

Posted by: Xmas Tree Boy 25th December 2015, 03:54 PM

Off topic, does anyone know whether an End Of Year chart will be broadcast next week?

Posted by: lewistgreen 25th December 2015, 04:01 PM

Radio 1 currently have the show listed as 'the first official chart of 2016' so perhaps not

Posted by: 777666jason 25th December 2015, 04:03 PM

Yeah i mean secret love song

Posted by: Eva_coco_may 25th December 2015, 04:12 PM

In it!! If her fans keep buying her singles shel get top 10 depends who competition is could even get number 1!! She always gets a boost when she performs so she's a very visual artist reckon shel get more of a fan base when she tours or does bigger events

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 25th December 2015, 04:18 PM

It's doing really well on gift card, but it's only done well on streaming this week because of the Christmas Mix. It's streaming will probably freefall now.

Posted by: sammy01 25th December 2015, 04:18 PM

Or bomb given Cowell wont be able to pimp it half as much as he has with Sax.

Stay delusional and Happy Christmas.

Posted by: sammy01 25th December 2015, 04:20 PM

Well streaming has been hard to gauge as of late as the xmas songs are filling the upper region of Spotify and people's listening habits change this time of year. Still another week top 20 is brill when the album is selling so well.

Posted by: Eva_coco_may 25th December 2015, 04:26 PM

Or maybe you should face facts that cowell likes fleur and sees her potential he also has a heavy influence on radio channels and promo appearances so shel defo have radio play as they're behind her and she'll be a lot of performing. Also bgt is due to start and there's Alan Carr itv etc also she's popular in pr world so I think will be seeing a lot of her soz

Posted by: lewistgreen 25th December 2015, 06:47 PM

99 Souls and Craig David have taken rather large hits after the past few days

Fetty Wap back up to #26 though

Posted by: Mace Spindu 25th December 2015, 06:51 PM

With only one new entry (of course going to be knocking all your Bieber/NHS faves off the top ) I expect the songs already benefiting from gift card effects etc. will be climbing even more without any new competition and the dramatic fallings of the Christmas songs, but this will be both and at the same time because we all know who came ramping back up the top 40 this time last year

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 25th December 2015, 08:30 PM

I don't know who you are or where you've suddenly decided to pop up from, but I already love you!

Posted by: Envoirment 25th December 2015, 08:34 PM

Great to see the gift card effect boosting songs! Especially "Shut Up And Dance"

Posted by: Danta Claus 25th December 2015, 08:41 PM

NHS Choir still at #3. Maybe they're not heading for the 1-40 dive some seem to be expecting.

Some relevant Charity Single dropoffs for reference

Military Wives 'Wherever You Are' [1-4-14-24-34-46-65-x]
Justice Collective 'He Aint Heavy He's My Brother' [1-5-21-47-x]
Gareth Malone's All Star Choir 'Wake Me Up' [1-7-54-x]

Posted by: ML Hammer95 25th December 2015, 08:44 PM

I think they and Snakehips will rise back up in January. With high airplay from Capital especially and also they'll be on many New Years Eve playlists.

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 25th December 2015, 08:45 PM

What is your beef with Fleur?

Posted by: 777666jason 25th December 2015, 08:47 PM

Bit bittersweet for little mix both black magic and lmly receiving nice boost but secret love song has nosedived was at 49 earlier today now down to 120

Posted by: Davidson 25th December 2015, 08:49 PM

Seeing 'All My Friends' fall from #25 all the way down to #72 is rather painful. It better recover in the New Year

Posted by: Juranamo 25th December 2015, 08:52 PM

NHS Choir don't have a physical single though, do they? They have a SEVERE disadvantage, in terms of streaming, and are dropping on iTunes. It may not drop that far, but I'm almost certain it'll leave the Top 20!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 25th December 2015, 08:53 PM

Excited to see what'll make huge jumps over the next few days as the Christmas songs begin to fall. Great to see Fleur looking to re-enter the T10 (possibly T5 officially), having fallen 10-14 this week

Posted by: Christmaseve201 25th December 2015, 09:00 PM

The first two had cd sales so it'll fall 1-12-out most likely!

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 25th December 2015, 09:02 PM

Can't remember 2 of those 3 campaigns!! And can't remember how any of 'em went!

Posted by: jase. 25th December 2015, 10:14 PM

iTunes looks ghastly Can somebody out there release some new music please?

Posted by: Eva_coco_may 25th December 2015, 10:34 PM

Lol was a lurker for a while - decided to make an account!! Usually find me on DS

Posted by: Danta Claus 25th December 2015, 10:40 PM

Oh I definitely think [1-outside the top 10-out] is very likely. I'm just saying I wouldn't get my hopes up for this beating the McFly record.

Posted by: Mace Spindu 25th December 2015, 10:43 PM

Oh it may not be this time, but I'm sure streaming will be responsible for beating McFly's record one day, definitely.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 25th December 2015, 11:01 PM

I know plenty of people that will be.

Posted by: Michael Bubré 25th December 2015, 11:11 PM

Streaming has already been responsible for the record NOT being broken (see Union J) I think if this doesn't do it it will probably never happen as the streaming chart is much slower than the sales chart.

Posted by: chartdj 25th December 2015, 11:19 PM

what is the McFly record?

Posted by: Slade 25th December 2015, 11:20 PM

Their drop from number 1-20 for 'Baby's Coming Back'/'Transylvania' in 2007.

Posted by: n4yr 26th December 2015, 01:32 AM

There's a huge gap between Sax and Sorry though.

Posted by: Tombo 26th December 2015, 04:18 AM

Snakehips is aawful, I don't want it to be a hit.

Posted by: TheGrinch 26th December 2015, 05:41 AM

14. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You
60. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You

I'm really delighted to see 'Never Forget You' being heavily cherry picked and will return to the top 10 which provides me some hope that 'Lush Life' will perform incredibly well, hopefully Radio 1 and Capital decide to support Zara and she has a more successful campaign than Tove Lo (which was an absolute disaster following the album)

ok thanks. probably the choir won't beat that record as it's staying on itunes top 10 for a bit

Posted by: mdh32 26th December 2015, 10:11 AM

The NHS song holding up better than expected.

Posted by: Jack! 26th December 2015, 10:20 AM

Anyone know why Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour is in the iTunes top 1000 with another version in the top 1500, nothing major I know but it's one of my fave 80s tunes and have never seen it appear in the chart before. EDIT: Also the weird thing is that the music video is now not available to watch on YouTube but I only just watched it yesterday.

Posted by: scratchy23 26th December 2015, 10:57 AM

Why have they still not deleted the single version of Hello? The album version would be a few places higher without it, right?

Posted by: mdh32 26th December 2015, 11:14 AM

Fleur up to 4 and a bright green update on Kworb *_* the longevity of this is amazing

Posted by: mdh32 26th December 2015, 11:16 AM

I assume it's because it was featured on Peter Kay's Car Share which was shown on Christmas Eve.

Posted by: gooddelta 26th December 2015, 11:36 AM

Amazed the NHS Choir is still holding up, might stay top 10 sales (30k max I'd have thought), but with non-existent streams it will probably fall out of the top ten. McFly may keep their record though *.*

Posted by: mr_pmt 26th December 2015, 11:40 AM

I'd really love for 'Love Me Like You' to get a new peak, or even top 10!

Posted by: ___∆___ 26th December 2015, 12:34 PM

Pleased to see the NHS not plummeting, Seems the coverage of it getting to #1 has helped - It will probably have a chart run like 'Wake Me Up' by the Gareth Malone All Star Choir (1-7-54), Not bad considering its 2 years old, independently released, no major TV performances, no physical and a few weeks ago was being offered at 250/1 to reach the top

Posted by: Ellsmere 26th December 2015, 12:42 PM

Will bieber have 1-2-3 soon, is this the week? It would be amazing.

Posted by: mr_pmt 26th December 2015, 12:45 PM

My god, I wish I could have seen into the future at that moment.

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th December 2015, 12:49 PM

231 Ellie Goulding - Army

Pleased to see the ITV ad feature and the performance on Michael McIntyre last night give this a boost. I just hope it keeps climbing now

~Misunderstood sorry ~

Posted by: chartdj 26th December 2015, 01:01 PM

surprised because the fall looked steep at the start, then the choir began holding at number 3

Posted by: mr_pmt 26th December 2015, 01:05 PM

The Choir just had a massive decrease in Kworb numbers.

Posted by: Mart!n 26th December 2015, 01:08 PM

NHS dropped from 54-47% there, prob be out of the top 10 by Monday - be interesting to see where they drop to!

An unexpected beneficiary of the iTunes gift card effect?

Posted by: *Xmas Ben* 26th December 2015, 02:24 PM

This year it seems to me more the urban songs benefitting from the gift card effect.

Posted by: chartdj 26th December 2015, 02:39 PM

just seen the new releases on first post, really only 1 new song?

Posted by: *Xmas Ben* 26th December 2015, 03:35 PM

Never thought I'd see Fleur back at #3 and lots of dark green updates!

Hopefully a few more weeks in the top 10!

but why Sax? cannot people buy other newer better stuff???

Posted by: JosephCarey 26th December 2015, 06:14 PM

Because, shock horror, people actually like it

Posted by: Bré 26th December 2015, 06:26 PM

Have there even been any new songs released since 'Sax' tbh

Posted by: Mart!n 26th December 2015, 06:34 PM

Sax is not that old, when compared to other music that's re-appearing again Love Me Like You Do

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 27th December 2015, 01:58 AM

Is there any betting for the #1 this week? i'm ready to put £300 on............ oops

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 27th December 2015, 02:05 AM

'Sax' and 'Love Me Like You Do' were on TOTP which would explain why they've been given significant boosts. 'Love Me Like You' seems to be the song that's benefitting the most from none to little exposure this few days. 'Black Magic' had a snippet played on TOTP (as part of their "highlights of the year" montage), but I guess people realised that they wanted 'Love Me Like You' when they went to look for 'Black Magic'. It would also explain the big boost for the album on iTunes too. (Although, I'm not sure what they performed on Alan Carr, so that could explain their boosts?)

Very pleased to see Little Mix benefitting as much as they are from the gift cards. It makes me even more annoyed that they didn't show up to their TOTP performance recording, because I think they would've performed the Christmas mix of 'Love Me Like You' and could have potentially got it back inside the top 10 on iTunes!

True, but in terms of the chart, it makes no difference whether there's one version on iTunes, or ten...

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 27th December 2015, 09:36 AM

It really would benefit her to have one version high up on iTunes though. It's quite silly for the people in charge of Adele not to have deleted the single as long as a month ago, let alone by now.

Posted by: mdh32 27th December 2015, 11:33 AM

Shawn Mendes surely headed for the top 10 - up to 13 now.

the choir song now #12 & 67

Posted by: Tombo 27th December 2015, 02:09 PM

Why would they delete the single version though?

An artist of Adele's calibre doesn't need to worry about the position on iTunes and the song is widely known

I thought it was normal to have separate singles on iTunes

Posted by: Bjork 27th December 2015, 02:40 PM

one version gets you higher => more visibility

Posted by: sammy01 27th December 2015, 02:40 PM

I think some of the chart geeks (said with love ) aren't really grasping that Adele and her management don't give a jot about selling a few extra singles or being higher up on the itunes chart. They want your £10 on the album in the shops and everything about this release is geared towards that from not being on streaming sites to a release before Christmas.

Posted by: Xmas Tree Boy 27th December 2015, 02:47 PM

Posted by: Jack 27th December 2015, 07:33 PM

I'm fine with him doing well. 'What Do You Mean' and 'Sorry' are really good songs but I just don't get how it's quite THIS popular. It's bizzarre.

Posted by: mdh32 27th December 2015, 07:53 PM

Judging by his growth rate, Shawn could/should be top 10 by midnight.

Posted by: AcerBen 27th December 2015, 08:13 PM

Britney with the next smasher.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 27th December 2015, 08:16 PM

I'm thinking/hopeful that some current charting songs can just grow to become bigger hits: The Weekend ("In the Night"), 99 Souls ("The Girl is Mine"), Major Lazer ("Light It Up"), Shawn Mendes ("Stitches"), Robin Schulz ("Sugar") - I'm sure there's a few others that I've forgotten.

Posted by: Doboggan 27th December 2015, 08:17 PM

On the other hand I think it's great! It becomes tedious when the year is practically planned out with guaranteed #1s week after week like 2000 and 2014.

Posted by: Mace Spindu 27th December 2015, 08:17 PM

I think that makes it more exciting imo!

Posted by: sammy01 27th December 2015, 08:17 PM

Is he really this popular or is this just the way things are going with streaming? With download sales on the slide staying at the top of the itunes chart will be easier and streaming will just keep songs around forever.

I feel like Bieber is the first big name to really benefit from this but we will get this happen more and more this next year or so.

Posted by: JosephCarey 27th December 2015, 08:20 PM

Well if you think about it, he wouldn't do that well on streaming if he wasn't that popular I think they go hand in hand, but it's no like is sales are particularly low either - he has the top 2 songs on iTunes and What Do You Mean? is in the top 10 right now too. His album has been selling amazingly well and he's getting acclaim everywhere right now. So yeah, I think he is really that popular

Posted by: 777666jason 27th December 2015, 08:31 PM

Yeah they can't all be casual streamers milions of them

Posted by: sammy01 27th December 2015, 08:36 PM

But he is top 2 when his main competition is Adele looking to sell albums, NHS xmas song and well I cant really think of another big release lately. Even the X factor winners song hasn't done its regular 200k opening.

He is of course very popular but I feel circumstance is playing a part too. Rihanna was #1 for 10 weeks in a transitional period for the charts where cd sales were dying and downloads were taking off and lack of real competition.

The singles chart will just reflect the radio airplay chart more and more with streaming where songs stay longer and longer on it.

Right now everyone who has a proper 'hit' is havig crazy longevity, Love me like you is in its 13th week and still top 20 on itunes, Sax has basically been a mainstay of the top 10 (excluding xmas songs), Biebers 3 songs have lingered on, Hello is still what #3 combined.

There is currently only 2 songs in the official top 40 who have less than 5 weeks on the chart and that is NHS and Louisa, everything is stale and the xmas songs that fall off are going to be replaced by old stuff too.

Posted by: AcerBen 27th December 2015, 08:36 PM

Sadly I think Sugar is on its way out now - #51 on iTunes

Posted by: Mervatron 27th December 2015, 09:08 PM

The chart is incredibly stagnant right now. Nothing new being released that's having any sort of impact. Crap songs staying around for weeks on end.

I'm not getting the Bieber love at all. The songs are not good. Love yourself is quite decent. The other 2 singles are bland r'n'b.

Just feel like the chart needs a few big songs to explode in January otherwise we'll have the same top 5 for another month.

Posted by: mdh32 27th December 2015, 10:06 PM

Lush Life is your best bet for that.

Radio friendly and I assume it could definetly go top 5, who knows, maybe even higher.

Posted by: Christmaseve201 27th December 2015, 10:19 PM

Lol it's the wrong time to have this convo this is the week when the hits of the last yr traditionally get a boast in a month or so a lot of new tracks will be dominating, things change but in the last week of December it always seems slower.

Posted by: n4yr 27th December 2015, 10:22 PM

Yeah, this is always the worst time of year for new music.

Posted by: Danta Claus 27th December 2015, 10:30 PM

Despite it having been held back for absolutely ages 'Lush Life' will be given an OA/OS style release ; so I imagine it'll take a while to impact, it certainly won't debut in the top 5 anyway.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 27th December 2015, 11:32 PM

Tragic really given that the Mercury Prize and BBC Music Awards have just happened (recapping 'old' music I know, but it'd be nice for something that had gone slightly unnoticed to spark significant interest) and the hype of Critics' Choice and Sound of 2016 polls are starting. People should be getting on board Jack Garratt now, rather than at the end of January when he's everywhere.

Posted by: Christmaseve201 27th December 2015, 11:33 PM

You'd think but it'll only start when radio 1 gets back to normal from 4th January!

Posted by: John-James 27th December 2015, 11:37 PM

R'n'B?

Posted by: sammy01 28th December 2015, 12:42 AM

This year is certainly worse than last that is for sure. This year the whole top 5 have been #1 at some point in the christmas chart and 1 song in the top 10 (NHS) has less than 5 weeks on the chart. Last year Ben Haenow was xmas #1 on his first week (so same as NHS) but Uptown Funk was #2 on its second week, Olly Murs was #4 on its 3rd week in the chart, the Wealdstone raiders were new at 5. Ed Sheeran was the only old song hovering around the top 5.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 28th December 2015, 03:21 AM

Tbh I don't get how Justin Bieber as a whole is THIS popular. The guy has been a source of banter ever since the days when he had a very squeaky voice and looked like a squirrel.

It definitely makes looking at the iTunes & Spotify charts anti-climatic.

Posted by: Ellsmere 28th December 2015, 06:42 AM

I agree actually, they are R'n'B tracks..... If Chris Brown sung The same songs...

Posted by: AcerBen 28th December 2015, 09:59 AM

Are we expecting Jack Garratt to smash? He doesn't sound very commercial to me

Posted by: mdh32 28th December 2015, 10:14 AM

It'll do a Hotline Bling/Never Forget You (best examples I could think of), slowly rise up the chart but have good longevity in the top 20 eventually.

Posted by: Bjork 28th December 2015, 10:23 AM

Lush Life is the new Lean On

cannot see Garratt being huge... he's too alternative, his music is the same style as James Blake, as in not for the masses

Posted by: Mart!n 28th December 2015, 10:49 AM

Artists on the Sound of 2016 could make some impact, I think the top 5 is announced next week.

Posted by: Mervatron 28th December 2015, 11:49 AM

What would you call them then?

Posted by: 777666jason 28th December 2015, 11:55 AM

Omg saw your post thought R n B was reggie and bollie

Posted by: ML Hammer95 28th December 2015, 12:07 PM

I don't think any of Justin Bieber's #1s could be described as R&B. Sorry does have a strong dancehall influence (the drums in the beat) but it's notable that none have received support from urban radio. Company would fit that description though.

WDYM is a pop song with a tropical house-based beat, Love Yourself is a standard ballad and Sorry, like I mentioned, sounds like a mashup of EDM, tropical house and Jamaican dancehall.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 28th December 2015, 12:29 PM

Yeah I'd say house pop too. For nu-beeb. His last era/Confident was r and b though.

Posted by: sammy01 28th December 2015, 12:35 PM

Sorry just screams Rihanna to me, pop with island infusion.

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 28th December 2015, 03:36 PM

After the battering it got from "the gift card effect" Little Mix's 'Secret Love Song' is recovering very nicely and making its way back inside the top 50!

If that's not the sign of a massive hit, I dont know what is! Especially as it's recovered as well as it has.

Posted by: Bjork 28th December 2015, 04:02 PM

nice recovery for the following songs:
Stitches #11
99 Souls #14
Craig David #27
Little Mix/Derulo #60

on the other hand
the Bridge choir at #33 and #146 lol

Posted by: JosephCarey 28th December 2015, 04:03 PM

Stitches didn't need to recover It got a boost from the gift card effect in fact! #10 is SO close now, please don't stall Shawn

Posted by: Bjork 28th December 2015, 04:08 PM

true
the one that hasn't recovered is Sugar was in London over the weekend and heard the song a lot and also saw the video every 5 minutes in all music channels

Posted by: *Xmas Ben* 28th December 2015, 04:28 PM

It's pretty shame that it has dropped su many places since the 24th
It was in the top 20 and fell down to #51, now recovered a tiny little to #44 at least.

Posted by: Envoirment 28th December 2015, 04:42 PM

Great to see 99 Souls rebounding nicely. Hopefully their streaming and airplay will rise a bunch now with the xmas songs being taken out of rotation.

I still wish it was the Alphaville Forever Young, I'm sure it would have lasted longer (and may have brought the original back in the charts)

The thing I find most amusing about the awful run of this song is the fact that there was so much hype and positivity about Louisa before Forever Young was released, and yet it still flopped to the extent it has.

The fact it struggled to hold up number 1 on the iTunes chart for more than a couple of days really emphasizes the lack of interest in the song, especially seeing as past winners with less hype and likeability than herself have managed to keep the placing for numerous weeks (for example Sam Bailey, even she managed to get number one, and number one on iTunes for a while more, and she wasn't exactly chart friendly material).

No wonder she hasn't tweeted anything about the song since its release, obviously her and Simon and Syco were all anticipating an easy number one

Posted by: JosephCarey 28th December 2015, 09:32 PM

In all fairness I don't think it's anything to do with Louisa herself. Everyone seems to find the song itself totally boring. Louisa's own material will change things I'm sure. Winning singles don't dictate future success.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 28th December 2015, 09:34 PM

I might have said this before but I wonder whether it's because Louisa was such an obvious winner that people don't feel as much ownership of her as they did with past winners.

Posted by: bluebitchboy 28th December 2015, 09:54 PM

Was Louisa an obvious winner? I thought there were a few with a shout particularly the first few weeks. The only winner who was the only contender from week 1 that I can remember is sam bailey, she seemed to be featured every week on gogglebox as well. Even Leona didn't appear as contender until a few weeks in iirc

Posted by: sammy01 28th December 2015, 09:55 PM

I think Louisa is a bit of it. She is just decent, her voice is good but shouty, she is a bit wet personality wise and she never gave anyone that moment to really think yeah she is amazing.

The winners people have usually invested in so the winners song doesn't matter because people buy it any way but people obviously didn't invest in Louisa as a person at all.

Posted by: Joe. 28th December 2015, 10:01 PM

It's the song, strategy and the fact that not as many people watch X factor. I don't think it has anything to do with Louisa. And I don't think it really matters either. It's not like Cannonball is known to be played on the radio ever is it? It's not remembered regardless of selling. Louisa is still a lot more likely to have success than Sam, Ben, Matt, Leon of a load of the other failed winners.

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 28th December 2015, 10:03 PM

No doubts it is a poor song. But the fact it has done so horrifically I think must reflect on her personal popularity.
I for one have no idea what her musical style or future music is likely to be.

Posted by: Jason 28th December 2015, 10:15 PM

Forever Flop down to #70 now.

Posted by: Jack 28th December 2015, 10:16 PM

X Factor just seemed to not be much of an event this year? It was over as quickly as it begun and we never got a chance to really get invested in the contestants imo.

Posted by: Umi 28th December 2015, 10:26 PM

There's a difference between 'Cannonball' and 'Forever Young' though. 'Cannonball' did badly enough to be completely forgotten about weeks later, while 'Forever Young' has very possibly done badly enough to actually be remembered for being the X Factor song that did horrendously - I've seen numerous conversations regarding how badly Louisa has done and it's gotten pretty decent coverage in the press (which couldn't be said for Little Mix).

Louisa is pretty heavily associated with failure and the decline of X Factor in the public's mind right now, I would say. Winner singles are never indicators of success but the coverage surrounding 'Forever Young' looks like a pretty heavy indicator for me. I'd be very surprised if radio were confident in supporting her next year.

Yeah this is my stance on it all too! Although if Nick is staying with the show, then Radio 1 might be forced to support her regardless due to the connection?

Winner's single or not, it's awful and offensively bland and not falling quick enough for me.

Posted by: Davidson 29th December 2015, 12:38 AM

Can 'All My Friends' hurry up and get back in the top 40 please?

I'm really worried Radio 1 will drop it from their playlist just when it is about to take off.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 29th December 2015, 12:46 AM

I do feel a bit sorry for Louisa tbh because she is a talented girl and with the right material and backing I could see her doing really well but that winners single really was so dull and was not catchy in the slighest I don't know what they were thinking picking it. I just hope it doesn't damage her career I heard rumors they are rushing to get her album out in Febuary which would be a TERRIBLE idea IMO.

Renegades by X Ambassadors has been growing a lot in the last few days. It's now up to 69 and it's discounted, and as well as that it's on a car advert (can't remember the specific car make though). Looks like it could shape up to be a decent sized hit.

X Ambassadors had an A-Listed song on Radio 1 last year if I remember right, so they're radio friendly material.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th December 2015, 05:09 PM

Easily, but the record technically belongs to Union J who fell 1-22 on the sales chart in December 2014.

I'm predicting: 1-37.

Great to see 99 Souls back up to #12 and "Shut Up And Dance" back in the top 20.

#34. "When We Were Young" - should rise a lot in the new year with airplay picking up. Hoping it'll go to #1 after Adele performs it at the Brits.

Posted by: JosephCarey 29th December 2015, 05:20 PM

I'd be shocked if the NHS Choir remained top 40 at the way they're fallling, bearing in mind also that they have next to no streams.

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 29th December 2015, 05:34 PM

The NHS song was a campaign aimed at making Xmas #1. Its not a 'typical' chart song is it..... It achieved its aim successfully.

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 29th December 2015, 05:35 PM

Hope Ace of Spades gets a good boost soon, as people get home and hear the news. It would be great if it makes top 40.

Posted by: Bré 29th December 2015, 06:15 PM

Yess NHS Choir, smash that record please. It'll probably never be beaten again now.

Nice to see 'Ace Of Spades' making an impact here, would be great if it could make the top 40 (probably won't overall but could do so on sales based on its current positions).

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 29th December 2015, 06:56 PM

Why not, there will probably be another charity Xmas number 1 campaign song, and soon like next Xmas!


Ace of Spades up to #27. Some very nice tributes coming in...

Posted by: gooddelta 29th December 2015, 07:00 PM

Streaming will be much bigger and downloads much smaller by that point, and it's hard to encourage people to go back to outdated consumption methods, even for charity. For these campaigns to work in the future they're going to need to focus more on getting people to listen to the song (which is hard, as they're often so incredibly crap musically) rather than buying it.

Posted by: andibob 29th December 2015, 07:22 PM

I don't get the whole I'll listen to / buy any old cods wallop so maybe this will result in better music all round.

Ace of Spades #24

In the NHS case it's a donation to charity and support to a campaign for a cause....

Back up to #38 now - hoping it can stick around a little longer.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th December 2015, 07:55 PM

You could always give the money to the charity/appeal without buying the record of course.

Posted by: Dan_ 29th December 2015, 10:36 PM

In the future these campaigns will probably put emphasis on both downloading the song and putting it on repeat on multiple streaming services (even if people put it on mute while they play it on repeat while they sleep or whatever, the first ten plays will still count ).

It worked for Stormzy anyway, as 'Shut Up' was #9 on sales but #8 officially because of streaming.

Posted by: Santa Mark 30th December 2015, 10:02 AM

Posted by: sammy01 30th December 2015, 11:58 PM

For people who don't spend their lives on a music forum I'm sure the chart/radio/streaming playlists and charts are where they get exposed to 'new' music and if that all moves at snails pace then so will they with their music listening.

99 souls is a perfect example of if it is given exposure and on the chart people will buy/stream it, because it was not even a thing when given free.

50. Pia Mia "Touch"
61. Elle King "Ex's and Oh's"
72. Blinkie "Don't Give Up (On Love)"

Yes at Major Lazer climbing all the way back up to #41 from outside the T100! It entered the T40 at #40 the other week, helped a lot by streaming, so hopefully that won't be it's peak.

Posted by: Christmaseve201 31st December 2015, 11:35 AM

Major Lazer at no10 now on spotify so it could stay in the top 40 officially this week imo. People must be putting it on their playlists for NYE!

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 31st December 2015, 12:32 PM

Thankfully Elle King seems to have stalled. Not sure why people are willing it to become a hit? It's dreadful lol.

Posted by: mr_pmt 31st December 2015, 12:35 PM

Elle King has actually grown on me a lot, it's extremely catchy. I didn't like it at first.

Surprised Europe isnt in the top 1000 yet!

Posted by: Dan_ 31st December 2015, 03:08 PM

Gay Gordon still off iTunes then I miss seeing them going top 40 every NYE.

Posted by: Ethan 31st December 2015, 03:14 PM

why was this removed from iTunes?!

Posted by: JimmyTinsel 31st December 2015, 03:15 PM

Louisa Johnson #98 wow.

Posted by: Hadji 31st December 2015, 04:32 PM

104. Kygo featuring Maty Noyes - "Stay" Let's hope it finally goes top 40 next week

Posted by: Doctor Blind 31st December 2015, 04:36 PM

It was deemed 'too amazing'. : (

Posted by: Mart!n 31st December 2015, 04:44 PM

I see the connection there with The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards = Amazing Grace

Mendes coming for 8th with a green on Kworb and as Adele and Bieber are red *__*

Posted by: Rob S~ 31st December 2015, 04:48 PM

Snakehips 26
Major Lazer 37
Elle King 55 & 281

Looking good for Elle & Snakehips to go top 40 next week. Wouldn't surprise me if 'All My Friends' scraped it tomorrow as it's close to top 40 on streaming as well!

Posted by: Envoirment 31st December 2015, 05:50 PM

99 Souls "The Girl Is Mine" to #10
Shawn Mendes "Stitches" to #11

Great to see 99 Souls back in the top 10, hopefully they'll overtake Adele/Justin Bieber and get a boost tonight with it being new years (can see it being played a bunch in the clubs etc).

Posted by: JosephCarey 31st December 2015, 05:55 PM

The Girl Is Mine is great but go away, let Stitches climb

Posted by: Dan_ 31st December 2015, 06:04 PM

Stitches is gonna be around forever in the new year, let 99 Souls have their time!

Posted by: Mart!n 31st December 2015, 06:08 PM

99 Souls are watching this thread topic

Posted by: Dan_ 31st December 2015, 06:10 PM

I doubt they are, they've probably forgotten about the existence of Buzzjack (the fame's gone to their head )

Posted by: JosephCarey 31st December 2015, 06:11 PM

You talk like 99 Souls won't also be around a fair while

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 31st December 2015, 06:15 PM

What who are 99 Souls n when were they on Buzzjack?

Louisa oot of itunes top100 in her third week!! #FlushFactor

Posted by: Mace Spindu 31st December 2015, 06:22 PM

They posted a thread on it in dance forum, new tunes! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=172852&st=0

Last seen 13th Jan though, Mart!n

I bet they befitied with a few extra sales by promoting themselves on here though! we need more famouse artists on the forum, or at least start off here like 99 Souls!

Posted by: sammy01 31st December 2015, 06:27 PM

Well I wasn't going to say anything but I am the Crazy Frog.

Posted by: mr_pmt 31st December 2015, 06:48 PM

I'd love 99 Souls to be an eventual top 10 hit, but it's exceeded my expectations more than I ever dreamed at the moment.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 31st December 2015, 07:28 PM

We have already had Alex Day of #4-OUT "Forever Yours” fame on the site in 2011.

ChC Media had the best though - we had an interview with THE Tasmin Archer in 2006, in which one of the questions was ‘when “Sleeping Satellite” debuted at 50 did you think it was going to get to No. 1?’

Posted by: mr_pmt 31st December 2015, 07:36 PM

Was that actually her?! I always assumed that was someone posing as her (or even trolling), in the same way that we'd have fake accounts posing as Tina Barrett back in the mid 00s.

Posted by: gooddelta 31st December 2015, 07:36 PM

Oh yes! What was Tasmin's answer to that question?

I did an interview with Jimmy from 911 on my blog two years ago and asked him how he felt about getting beaten to their first No.1 in 1998 by the dreadful Spacedust record (not that many would see More Than A Woman as being any better of course!). His answer was as follows:



Think he may have got his facts a little mixed up somewhere along the line/fed some false information!

Posted by: T Boy 31st December 2015, 07:38 PM

The best account was whoever posed as Lisa Scott Lee on Coolclarity in late 05

Posted by: LeeWallace 31st December 2015, 07:44 PM

The girl who got B-list on Capital?

Posted by: Bré 31st December 2015, 07:45 PM

Jive Bunny coming to be the New Year saviour yet again in the absence of Gay Gordon

Posted by: Mart!n 31st December 2015, 07:46 PM

Joseph is really Justin Bieber

Posted by: JosephCarey 31st December 2015, 07:47 PM

You sussed me

(I wish)

Posted by: Doctor Blind 31st December 2015, 07:48 PM

I thought it genuinely was, don't shatter my wonderful memory of that September day. : (




Something along the lines of she was always confident that it was going to be a big hit!

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 31st December 2015, 07:50 PM

Huh we finally have cheesebloc as a picture?! :upsidedowncheeseblock:

Posted by: Jason 31st December 2015, 08:46 PM

Really? I always thought he was Harry Styles

Posted by: JosephCarey 31st December 2015, 11:20 PM

845. Mariah Carey - Auld Lang Syne (The New Year's Anthem)

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 31st December 2015, 11:26 PM

I'll be surprised if Lean On doesn't get used in the New Year's Day fireworks which would give it another boost. The same applies for Cheerleader as well.

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 31st December 2015, 11:27 PM

Joseph better not be that pop brat or I declare beef!!

Posted by: JosephCarey 31st December 2015, 11:28 PM

In which case I'll be Harry Styles

Posted by: FrostytheBeaver 31st December 2015, 11:50 PM

That is acceptable
