BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ CHART SHELF LIFE

Posted by: mdh Sep 11 2017, 04:19 PM

Hi, just popping in with a thread idea! Obviously the chart turnover has sped up loads recently, and songs don't tend to stick around in the top 10 for all that long anymore. So I was wondering, how long do we reckon the current top 10 inhabitants will stick around in the top 10 for? There are a few tracks that'll probs have some decent longevity - like the ZAYN and Sia song which I think will be BIG (until it hits ACR on Week 10), but in terms of Sam Smith I can't see him lasting long.

My predictions:
Sam Smith - 7 weeks
Taylor Swift (Look) - 8 weeks
ZAYN & Sia - 12 weeks
James Hype - 5 weeks
P!nk - 9 weeks
J Balvin - 7 weeks

What do we think?

7 weeks in the top 10 used to be considered a solid big hit haha how times have changed.

Zayn won't last that long!

Pink will also probably last longer

Can't see Sam Smith lasting that long tbh! He's already decreasing on iTunes and it's only a matter of time before he's replaced by the next big release on major playlist payola so I think he'll slip down soon enough.

He's hardly decreasing lots though. He's very stable. His album comes out soon too which will give it another boost!
