Little Mix 59p
Stormzy 59p
Taylor Swift 59p
CamelPhat 59p
Maroon 5 59p
Anne-Marie 59p
Kygo [Stargazing] 59p
The Vamps 59p
ALMA 59p
Was hoping 'Anywhere' woulda been made 59p
What Taylor song is 59p? (I can't see as have bought them all!)
Ready for it is 59p
233. Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana) - David Guetta & Afrojack
Wonder how this'll do?
--------------
Here's a random Kygo update!
91. Stargazing (feat. Justin Jesso)
165. Stranger Things (feat. OneRepublic)
330. Never Let You Go (feat. John Newman)
365. It Ain't Me (feat. Selena Gomez)
583. Kids in Love (feat. The Night Game)
617. Permanent (feat. J.Hart)
876. I See You (feat. Billy Raffoul)
953. Sunrise (feat. Jason Walker)
1168. With You (feat. Wrabel)
I reeeeeally hope that 'Stranger Things' is pushed at some point. SUCH a tune
Stranger Things just sounds like a smash...
New Sam Smith got me like
Stormzy also 59p but he’s not included in the batch! The same also applies to Big Shaq and Khalid (Young Dumb & Broke), Maroon 5, Craig David, Anne Marie, Matt Terry and Jonas Blue
70. Fredo - Change
139. David Guetta & Afrojack - Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana)
196. Ride - Pulsar (Edit)
205. Lil Uzi Vert - The Way Life Goes (Remix) [feat. Nicki Minaj]
759. RAYE & Mr Eazi - Decline
1025. Lil' Kim - Took Us a Break
Taylor Swift's new song is easily my favourite if the new ones so far, sublime.
Don't think there is much need to make 'Anywhere' 59p yet, wait until it climbs a bit more on Spotify, it's a bit either way! Look at 'Havana'.
I hope Taylor smashes with Call It What You Want, the first song from this project I've had any time for.
51
Taylor Swift - Call It What You Want
Yes the new Taylor is really the best of her this year and the reaction to it is amazing, any Idea why they haven't added it to NMF in the past 4 hours when it's out? They always updating but not this time.
big climb
9 Taylor Swift Call It What You Want
74. David Guetta & Afrojack - Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana)
83. ALMA & French Montana - Phases
214. RAYE & Mr Eazi - Decline
ALMA seems to be making headway with Phases
Taylor bring quite clever then trying to get the whole album to chart releasing 1 a fortnight since she knows she can't on album week
sure she's doing that to get more preorders rather than to clog the charts lol
How ironic..... I actually find Call It What You Want the weakest song from the new Taylor era 😂. I don't dislike it but it doesn't have the catchiness of LWYMMD or Ready For It. I prefer Gorgeous too 😂
05. Taylor Swift Call It What You Want
65. David Guetta & Afrojack - Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana)
178. RAYE & Mr Eazi - Decline
Based on a couple of listens I'd say "Call It What You Want" is my least favourite of the 4 tracks with "Gorgeous" at the top. But I really like them all. Not at "1989" level but it does make me hopeful for "reputation".
03. Taylor Swift - Call It What You Want
53. Katie Melua - Fields of Gold (Official BBC Children In Need Single 2017)
54. David Guetta & Afrojack - Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana)
196. RAYE & Mr Eazi - Decline
Call It What You Want is my fave so far along with Ready For It. Agreed that this isn't as strong as 1989 (or Red IMO)
it's a nice song but album filler, no single material
They really chose Katie f***ing Melua for this years Children In Need single?!

Wonder if Matt Terry's Christmas single will sell this year again?
134. Katy Perry- Firework
I wonder how high up this will climb
Sorry to anyone who is pissed off for me doing Xmas updates.
How will the new chart rules affect the Christmas songs charting this year?
Fingers crossed Joseph!
There’s a Christmas themed banner on iTunes which is promoted
Streaming was 92.25% of the total singles market this week - a record yet again.
Let's have a look at the streaming chart for 30/12/2016 (which takes into account the festive streaming period): http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/audio-streaming-chart/20161230/7507/
Yeah, I think the Christmas songs will do ok..
Mariah could go #1 this year
Fingers crossed!
But I doubt it.
36. Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana) - David Guetta & Afrojack
37. Fields of Gold (Official BBC Children In Need Single 2017) - Katie Melua
Oh looking like Dirty Sexy Money might be the December party season dance hit then!
Its more interesting production wise I think than most of the other slower BPM dance songs around in the itunes charts this year.
I do wonder what Taylor Swift is going to do if her record label doesn’t exclude one of her current hits from the chart, otherwise the latest track can’t enter (3 track per artist minimum). I think they should exclude Gorgeous so she can rack up another top 20 hit pre album release
Its the 3 highest which chart, so it will chart as long as it outsells one of the other 3
Neither do the bigger audience yet - I'm sure Mariah was at no350 in this weeks chart but they are building
Dirty Sexy Money has been reduced to 59p. No joke.
33. David Guetta & Afrojack - Dirty Sexy Money (feat. Charli XCX & French Montana)
10. Katie Melua - Fields of Gold
Future number 1?
Good to see Katie Melua back on the singles chart.
Any SLFN effects this week?
Katie Melua's track is a cover version of Sting's hit, a really good take of it actually.
Katie Melua returning to the Top 40 after 7.5 years
09. Fields of Gold
How??
She was on BBC breakfast news this morning which has maybe helped a bit
58. The Vamps - Personal
Katie Melua coming for that 2nd number 1 with a cover of another Eva Cassidy cover!!!!
Oh, maybe I underestimated her. I just assumed she would do nothing as she hasn't been relevant for years.
She'll still do nothing overall as she will get like 5 streams lol ~ but that isn't a bad showing on iTunes. Having said that, IIRC Craig David's CIN single got to #2 on iTunes and still missed the top 40 oop.
think the katie melua cover of fields of gold is not on spotify, wasn't there last time i checked
98. Fredo - Change
201. Wiley - I Call The Shots (feat. JME)
Is that the same Fredo who sang about only costing 10p?
No, but freddos used to only cost 10p. A long time ago. And people still complain that they aren't 10p anymore. 😕
Boost for Havana incoming. Just got performed on X Factor.
Yep!
Rak-Su will probably get to #1 tonight
Expect a big boost for Reggaetón Lento tonight too.
That performance of Reggaeton Lento was terrible.
If it boosts it then great, but it was rubbish
Blondie are performing tonight on Jonathan Ross show, I can't see them getting anywhere in the charts though.
How many hours until Dimelo is #1 on iTunes? 🤔
TXF update
Mamacita #17
Dimelo #36
Too Young #41
Hero #182
Huge update for Havana Anywhere now down to 0.5538!
HUGE gain for Havana
Mess at the public buying the wrong Rak-Su song
05. Rak-Su - Mamacita (!!!!! - wrong song guys)
09. Rak-Su - Dimelo
32. Tokio Myers - Angel
Rak-Su now have 2 songs in the top 4 'Dimelo' up to #3 and 'Mamacita' at #4. I notice they've overtaken Grace as the bookies' fave to win now ~
100 St. Vincent - Los Ageless
! cheers graham
02. Rak-Su - Dimelo
I'd love Rak-Su and Grace to both release singles at the end of the competition and then go head to head for official #1. That'd be so interesting.
would X factor let that happen though? it'd be awkward for them if Grace wins but Rak-Su beat her to #1 in the chart.
21. Tokio Myers - Angel
Taylor Swifts 'single' is hardly setting the charts alight in the UK or worldwide nor the last song/single. Is this new one the proper single? I thought theye would want a big smash single before the album like Blank Space last year. This song by the way it's going isn't going to do too much chartwise like Ready for It didn't do too much. It doesn't seem like it's going to be a big hit single?
Remember when every flop single was a ‘buzz’ single? I miss those days...
Yes, it's the new 'stocking issues'. Buzz singles were like that, essentially just singles that flopped and it was always a label applied retrospectively.
3. Rak-Su - Dimelo (X Factor Recording)
4. Rak-Su - Mamacita (X Factor Recording)
21. Tokio Myers - Angel
94. Lloyd Macey - Hero (X Factor Recording)
340. Sean & Conor Price - Cheap Thrills (Remix) [X Factor Recording]
341. The Cutkelvins - Reggaetón Lento (Remix) [X Factor Recording]
595. Sam Black - La Bamba / Twist and Shout (X Factor Recording)
1395. Jack & Joel - Havana / Hasta El Amanecer (X Factor Recording)
now when something flops it's
oh it was just a grat not a proper single
You can't call it a grat if its not available for free when pre-ordring the album
Of course later grats are going to do less well, more and more people will have pre-ordered the album by now
Havana’s lead is too big for Anywhere now... unless it gets a huge xfactor boost.
Also as for ready for it not doing anything it went top 10 on release week with only 4 and a half days
19 Liam Payne - Bedroom Floor
I know the songs a bit sh!te but I’m shocked at how poorly Liam is doing considering he’s had XF and Sounds Like Friday promo - both of which should appeal to the market he’s chasing.
Christmas
128. Tom Chaplin - Under a Million Lights
177. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is You

Tom Chaplin officially more relevant than Mariah Carey. *_ When will your faves?
Descapito coming for that #1 again
Cut To the Feeling to go to #1 please. Thanks xxx
Seriously though, hoping Rita can get a big boost after tonight!
Why hasn't Kworb updated in almost 8 hours
Is Tom Chaplin Under a Million Lights a Christmas song?
yes he made a whole xmas album
Ugh, kworb is broken so we won’t see the effect for Rita
It actually seems as though iTunes is broken... ffs
Carly Rae clearly crashing iTunes. Insiders knew about her XF promo so were clearly downloading in their droves 8 hours ago to give it a head start.
iTunes freezes this week every year I think. It’s annoying. Should be back in about 20 hours.
Yeah I remember saying that last year. Usually happens 1st Nov - no idea why.
Rita won’t be going #1 then!
Kevin White ‘Smooth’ #9
Kworb updated
Rita Ora at..... 0.54 huge boost....
DOESnt look right to me - none of the XF songs performed on Sunday are there
EDIT on LBP Kevin is at 10 so I don't think Kworb is right
iTunes and Kworb are probably just catching up atm!
Yeah, every time this happens, it takes iTunes all day to catch up. Songs don't just appear where they would have been.
Rita now at 0.7717 on Kworb
Rita down to 3. Dimelo has overtaken :eyeroll:
68. Tom Chaplin - Under a Million Lights
Big climb for this!
Any Sheridan tracks doing anything (that was such an emotional performance of and I’m telling you )
01 1.0000 Camila
02 0.9335 Rak-Su
03 0.9042 Rita Ora
Go Rak-su!
287. Charlotte Gainsbourg- Deadly Valentine
Just spotted this since its in the 100th contest of BJSC! Really nice track.
Oh wow at Rak-su and Rita both being so close to Camila! Ideally "Anywhere" would be iTunes #1 forever but hopefully she holds at #2 whilst Rak-su are #1 and then takes the #1 when they start to decrease
02. Rita Ora - Anywhere
19. Kevin Davy White - Smooth (X Factor Recording)
39. Tana Mongeau - Hefner - Single
54. Grace Davies - Ciao Adios (X Factor Recording)
69. Tom Chaplin - Under a Million Lights
91. Sheridan Smith - And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
96. Matt Linnen - Livin' La Vida Loca (X Factor Recording)
113. Holly Tandy - Despacito (Remix) [X Factor Recording]
143. Rai-Elle Williams - Bailando (X Factor Recording)
192. Alisah Bonaobra - Let's Get Loud (X Factor Recording)
Tana Mongeau releasing a single? :') she's quite a big YouTuber who I know because she accused a girl of scamming her at Coachella, but said girl was able to back everything up and Tana just came off as a lying mess. Not heard her singing voice tho (edit: or rapping *_* judging by the lyrics) ~
Edit #2: had a listen out of curiosity and this is godawful trash
I know of Tana Mongeau via her 'beef' with iDubbbz lol ~ I didn't know she had actual fans?
Tuna Mango is a legend tbh
Rita now at 0.9482
Rak Su are number one now.
I just...fail with words
In much better news -
09. Too Young (X Factor Recording) - Grace Davies
20. Angel - Tokio Myers
I thought this would have plummeted by now so I'm delighted to see him holding up
88. RAYE - Decline
Performing very well!
The Line went top 50 but that had Hot Songs.
78. RAYE - Decline
02. Rita Ora - Anywhere
03. Camila Cabello - Havana
75. RAYE - Decline
Really enjoying the new Rita Ora track. Her best single as i wouldnt normally enjoy her music.
41. Sam Smith - One Last Song
72. RAYE & Mr Eazi - Decline
92. Pale Waves - New Year's Eve
02. Camila Cabello - Havana
03. Rita Ora - Anywhere
Both tracks at 0.92
01. Camila
Oh for god sakes... now Camila will get the no1 effect pushing Rita back down
With Keshas addition to radio 1's C-list, has Learn To Let Go made any movement yet???
you can check for yourself here http://www.livepopbars2.com/lpb1024.php?Region=143444&Chart=34&ref=lpb5&t=1510137221
(#292)
Rita is number 1
YESSS
First time in a while where I haven't minded which one out of the top are no1, love both of them. Would love Rita to go no1 officially at some point too.
Mariah 95
Must be the earliest she's gone top 100 in early November I think.
I'd also like Rita to grab a week or two at least. The song for me was more of a big grower than instant!
Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/Future song on her new album, surely a future number one
Yay for Anywhere being Number 1
When are Little Mix due to release their new single? 24th with the release of the repackaged version with a performance on the X Factor?
66. RAYE - Decline
Except it won’t be on Spotify...
It will be eventually right? I thought it was just being withheld from Spotify for the first week.
55. The Vamps - Personal (feat. Maggie Lindemann)
64. ALMA & French Montana - Phases
Good to see the 59p reduction is helping these two
Yeah it seems it's only first week not on spotify atm! As long as this remains the case I can see end game being a massive hit <3
07. CNCO & Little Mix - Reggaeton Lento
13. Big Shaq - Man’s Not Hot
24. Clean Bandit - I Miss You
28. David Guetta & Charli XCX - Dirty Sexy Money
They should just release it next week
64. RAYE - Decline
Ed and Taylor are both on the jingle bell ball and the X factor final is around then could they both feature together would be ideal time to promote it
168. Evanescence - My Immortal
173. Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
1292. Evanescence - Going Under
new album tonight, can't wait
Hoping I'm Not The Only One shoots up after Sam's performance on his BBC show. Definitely a fave from him.
