Think it also says how unimportant the itunes chart is becoming. By the end of the year sales will be completely dwarfed by streaming sales.

Posted by: danielG Mar 25 2016, 09:05 AM

just given the topic a subtitle x

Lol at how uneventful this week is turning out to be though.

Posted by: iain Mar 25 2016, 09:10 AM

Cheap Thrills up to 3. Could this be a future no 1?

Posted by: *Ben* Mar 25 2016, 09:10 AM

It looks like Mike Posner could be a long running number 1 too. Next week seems dead too

Posted by: Zárate Mar 25 2016, 09:20 AM

Sia is still #4 though, Lukas Graham edging it to #2 with two versions.

Really hoping 'Cheap Thrills' will bring Sia her first top-5 as a lead artist!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 Mar 25 2016, 09:22 AM

Cheap Thrills is #3 on my iTunes!

Really hope that or work from home can make the top spot, by far the best tracks at the top of the charts right now

Posted by: Zárate Mar 25 2016, 09:26 AM

Lukas Graham at 5 and 17 which gives a #2 combined

Posted by: *Ben* Mar 25 2016, 09:30 AM

just to be precise, Sia is still number 4 when we combine her two version. You just forgot to mention

Posted by: Bjork Mar 25 2016, 09:41 AM

combining...

1 Mike Posner 1.0000
2 5H 0.7600
3 Lukas Graham 0.7528
4 Sia 0.7076
5 Sigala 0.6387
6 Lush Life 0.6344
7 Blonde 0.5138

Posted by: mdh Mar 25 2016, 09:55 AM

Lukas Graham lost 0.04 in the last update, a dramatic decrease compared to how it's been going recently

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 25 2016, 09:58 AM

Almost everything decreased, it's due to Mike Posner increasing rather than Lukas Graham actually declining in sales

Posted by: mdh Mar 25 2016, 10:06 AM

But 5th Harmony only lost 0.01, which is why I highlighted it as it means 5H have gained in the battle of a sort for 2nd

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Mar 25 2016, 12:09 PM

That's a shame really, the ever changing nature of the iTunes chart in it's heyday between 2010-2013 and the massive effect that it had on the Official chart was fascinating to see. When it comes to streaming you can't instantly see how the chart is being affected, you have to wait until the following day at the earliest to see how the chart has updated which is boring imo. Also it tends to be the same songs in almost the same positions every day.

Posted by: pippa Mar 25 2016, 12:34 PM

Streaming is now the main player of the charts. Streaming has made everything very boring. Downloads had a very short life, i wonder what will be the next development to take over from streaming.

111. Katy B & Chris Lorenzo - I Wanna Be
158. Katy B - Who Am I (feat. Craig David & Major Lazer)

I Wanna Be is SO good, hope it manages to go quite high even if it is just an instant grat. It's the best thing from this era aside from Turn the Music Louder. Sad to see Who Am I doing so badly.

Posted by: danielG Mar 25 2016, 12:56 PM

It's definitely strange that 'Who Am I' has underperformed so much when Craig David can instantly get a new Blonde single into the official top 15. And it has Major Lazer on it too.

'Honey' was originally meant to be just a mixtape though so maybe the label aren't really pushing for a hit.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 25 2016, 01:01 PM

It helps that the Blonde song has received instant support from Capital I guess, they seem to be tweeting about it non stop

59p price decrease helps a lot but it is a good track.

I think I remember hearing Rozes in an (unskippable) VEVO advert so that might be helping its climb

Maybe someone could make a thread updating it with songs used in adverts (tv/unskippable Youtube ones)?

34. Jay Sean feat. Sean Paul - Make My Love Go

A price reduction and growing radio plays are really helping this!

Posted by: Envoirment Mar 25 2016, 08:19 PM

They need to push "I Wanna Be" asap. It's my favourite so far and is amazing! Damn the production is just so great.

Shame to see "Who Am I" flopping.

Posted by: Tombo Mar 25 2016, 08:32 PM

The Blonde and Craig David track is so dope!

Posted by: mr_pmt Mar 25 2016, 10:26 PM

'Who Am I' is a bore though. I agree with what you said in the other thread about this needing to kick in sooner, that's the only flaw in an otherwise sublime track.

To think I pretty much despised her when she first came on the scene, she has won me over.

I just accidentally navigated my way to worldwide Kworb and it said 'Faded' is the worldwide #1 Is that accurate?

Posted by: mdh Mar 26 2016, 09:27 AM

Yep, it's #1 in all of the smaller European countries and obscure ones which counts towards its total

Posted by: Ethan Bradberry Mar 26 2016, 10:34 AM

In that case the UK better hop on the bandwagon!

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 26 2016, 10:50 AM

Just heard that Meghan Trainor song... It sounds lifted straight out of 2001!

Interested to see if this becomes a trend, an early 00's revival would most be most welcome.

Posted by: mr_pmt Mar 26 2016, 11:02 AM

While I kind of agree, I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel with the notion of Meghan Trainor being seen as a trendsetter.

Posted by: *Ben* Mar 26 2016, 11:03 AM

I thought the same actually, it could've been a Britney Spears song from that time

475. Hailee Steinfeld - Rock Bottom (feat. DNCE)

Maybe the DNCE feature could help Hailee get some radio support for this one, it's such a radio-friendly song but then we thought that about Love Myself and look what happened! This is already doing better in Australia than Love Myself ever did though so maybe there is hope.

Posted by: Euphorique Mar 26 2016, 12:33 PM

I wouldnt call being currently #1 in Germany, Italy, Spain and France as part of the smaller European countries though. Its just huge in all of Europe, and has been for many months now.

Posted by: timjimlee Mar 26 2016, 01:42 PM

I was kinda hoping that "Pop Kids" by Pet Shop Boys would make some sort of impression on the Top 100, the CD was released last week but after a performance on The Graham Norton Show I expected it be a bit higher than 164 ! The EP is 138 in the Albums which again is quite low given the sluggish nature of the Album chart at the moment.

Posted by: mdh Mar 26 2016, 07:06 PM

PILLOWTALK @ 6

Posted by: *Ben* Mar 26 2016, 07:31 PM

So I guess for you only the UK is a big country

Well Faded is number 1 in Germany for a month now... it's a very small european country though

Posted by: Zárate Mar 26 2016, 07:53 PM

I think the pop bars from different countries are weighted. See the vertical lines. http://kworb.net/ww/

Smaller countries have a smaller fraction so he should genuinely be at #1.

McAlmont & Butler's Yes at number 36 after The Voice tonight

Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 27 2016, 12:16 AM

The perfect antidote to Meghan Trainor!

Posted by: burbe Mar 27 2016, 12:17 AM

Stevie McCrorie now at #43. The song didn't sound too bad actually on The Voice tonight.

Not a very big effect for Years & Years - still at #30.

Posted by: Bjork Mar 27 2016, 08:23 AM

combined now
1 I Took A Pill 1.00
2 Lukas Graham 0.73
3 Fifth Harmony 0.71
4 Sia Cheap Thrills 0.66
5 Zara 0.57
6 Sigala 0.50

so everybody is miles behind Mike Posner... wonder how many weeks he can be at #1... cannot see anything in the top 40 that could climb to #1...

Posted by: Joe. Mar 27 2016, 09:56 AM

Shocked at what a minimal effect Years & Years had from The Voice!

Posted by: -SCOTT- Mar 27 2016, 10:01 AM

I didn't see the performance but Years & Years aren't exactly known for providing great vocals on TV appearances

Posted by: ElectroBoy Mar 27 2016, 10:19 AM

I'd imagine it's more the song has been out for well over a year and even with a different version it's not that dissimilar to the original -plus the original is better and already has a top 30 peak

It's a shame they didn't release a different song or revisit Take Shelter instead

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 27 2016, 12:13 PM

27. Jay Sean

Posted by: Ryan. Mar 27 2016, 01:43 PM

1384. Billie Marten - Out of the Black

Used in the finale of BBC Three drama 'Thirteen' that went online a couple of hours ago, intrigued to see how high this goes!

Posted by: mdh Mar 27 2016, 01:44 PM

Posted by: scratchy23 Mar 27 2016, 03:21 PM

I think Cake By The Ocean could be one to watch... Seriously catchy

Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 27 2016, 05:06 PM

I still feel like “Faded” could become a #1, although admittedly it is making very slow progress.

Posted by: Rob S Mar 27 2016, 05:12 PM

I hope it does, it'll easily be my favorite #1 of the year (so far) if so, such a gorgeous song

Posted by: John-James Mar 27 2016, 05:15 PM

I hope Faded can go #1 aswell, it's amazing I bet it would have went #1 a couple of years ago when held back releases were huge

Posted by: Mango Mar 28 2016, 09:23 AM

Wow, I genuinely didn't think this would do anything at all, even after you'd tipped it to become a hit! I guess it will need decent radio support to become a proper smash though.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 28 2016, 11:25 AM

It's already got support from Capital, Kiss and 1Xtra and the music video seems to come on every time I'm in the gym! I guess Radio 1 will have a look at it, even if it sounds more at home on commercial radio.

Posted by: Bré Mar 28 2016, 06:03 PM

Not entirely sure how that's relevant? 'Faded' isn't a held-back release.

Wow at Jay Sean looking like making a semi-relevant comeback again. I thought he was really done after 'Hit The Lights' completely flopped. Although maybe this track is just doing well because the UK public are in a Sean Paul mood again with 'Cheap Thrills' also smashing at the moment

I can't see Alan Walker getting a lot further than he has already. I think the next #1 is most likely to be something that isn't in the chart at all yet and will climb out of nowhere to #1 over the course of a few weeks, as Lukas Graham and Mike Posner did. 'I Took A Pill In Ibiza' won't be going anywhere for a while yet.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman Mar 28 2016, 06:23 PM

The charts are so boring these days *sigh*, do people in general even care about them anymore?

Posted by: Dobbo Mar 28 2016, 06:28 PM

I do actually! It's interesting to see how songs take off now with the assistance of streaming before sales as opposed to the other way round...

Of course I can't speak in general, does anyone actually know if the chart garners more listeners in its new Friday slot?

Posted by: Ethan Bradberry Mar 28 2016, 06:29 PM

All I can say is that the decline in post count in the UK Charts forum is more recognisable with the Lounge overtaking it more regularly in the weekly poster's charts!

(and I currently see only me and Iz and 11 guests reading it rn)

Posted by: Iz~ Mar 28 2016, 06:32 PM

Well, we are getting less visitors but historically we always used to have our best days on Sundays when the chart was on (presumably as more people are home to browse an internet forum) and Fridays always used to be our least active day prior to the move.

So Buzzjack as a whole might not be the best indicator, there might just be considerably more people listening while driving or something. That's without seeing any statistics that may have been produced.

Posted by: edneyguerra Mar 28 2016, 06:39 PM

selena is doing so great on itunes
but not that good on spotify

Posted by: HausofKubrick Mar 28 2016, 06:44 PM

CLIMB Shakira! Watched Zootropolis and while it's not a Disney CLASSIC song it'll be good to see it getting more recognition (if only because the film itself is essential)

Posted by: SevenSeize Mar 28 2016, 06:46 PM

In terms of the 'general' public they haven't cared about the charts for some time I understand why some here are losing interest because of the much slower pace, but personally I like the way things currently are- maybe not the best if you're looking at it from an "excitement" perspective but it's nice to see tracks really *earn* a spot in the Top 10 eventually, after battling away from the bottom

Plus there is an unpredictability factor, like how right now we're not sure where the next #1 single will come from (Fifth Harmony or Sia could challenge but there's no guarantee they'll make it)

Posted by: John-James Mar 28 2016, 07:55 PM

Sorry I meant to say if it HAD been a held-back release. Seems like the type of song that would got big preorders

Posted by: Euphorique Mar 28 2016, 09:06 PM

For me personally, I remember when this forum first started (and Coolclarity/Chart Forum Refugees), every Sunday used to be almost obligatory for me to listen to the Sunday Chart and then Dance Anthems on Radio 1. I cant even tell when was the last time I heard the countdown. Its been going downhill for a while now, and streaming was just the final nail in the coffin for me. I cant stand slow charts. I've lost interest in all the charts though, not just the UK, since nearly all of them use streaming these days and they're all slower than a turtle.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 28 2016, 09:27 PM

The chartshow was an event in the nineties. The chart was interesting, the jingles were AMAZING, and Bruno was worth tuning in for his occasional gaffes like instead of saying hits saying 'top tits comin' at ya' or playing the completely uncensored version of Rage Against The Machine with Motherf***er screaming out across the nation followed by a calm Bruno simply stating 'Rage Against The Machine, Killing In The Name - thats a new entry at number 27.'

Greg and the same 25 songs slightly rearranged (that I hate listening to anyway) just doesn't have the same appeal.

Posted by: Mack Mar 28 2016, 10:27 PM

I doubt the chart show will ever be popular with it being on a Friday.

Posted by: Joe. Mar 28 2016, 10:32 PM

I really do remember when the chart was a massive event, families would actively have the radio on on Sunday nights to hear what's #1 and hear the entire countdown. The general public don't care about it anymore and chart positions are things people now find out about from second hand info, like in interviews or X factor intros.

But there will always be chart geeks, that keep the chart alive to a certain point. It's a shame he chart moved to a Friday for the forum as, understandably, the forum isn't going to get as much traffic on a Friday, which is a shame.

Posted by: Steve201 Mar 28 2016, 10:50 PM

I agree with SevenSize(as I do with a lot of his posts) it is more exciting now as tracks have to earn their top positions instead of smashing in at no1 after 8 weeks of rotation and masses of pre orders. That was the reason the chart started going downhill in the late 90s as people realised it was all a fix and artists would wait until a free week to release to give them a chance at the top. Yes 12 NEs with 6 in the top 10 makes for interest to see where things land but the most popular tracks truely reach the top now.

I mean what did chart geeks do from 1952-95 when songs grew the chart? (And yes I know songs hang around longer now due to streaming)!

Posted by: AcerBen Mar 29 2016, 08:06 AM

1952-95 was better though because there were more than 3 songs entering the top 40 every week, and they wouldn't hang around as long as they do now. The time of 6 new entries in the top 10 wasn't great for a meaningful chart either, though one good thing about it was there was so much music about. It was exciting there being so many great new singles coming out week after week. Now major label rosters are so much smaller.

Posted by: Joe. Mar 29 2016, 08:10 AM

Really hoping Nick Jonas and Tove Lo can climb today with Totd. Really loving it at the moment.

Posted by: Wall Mar 29 2016, 08:23 AM

It will be interesting to see if Birdy or Zara manage to get a good impact from The Voice this week, I'm guessing it should provide Zara with one final week in the top five which is far more than what I could have imagined.

08. Tinie TempaH Feat Zara Larsson - Girls Like [Looks like this will miss the top five in the official charts, it would have been interesting to see had the video been released when it was three on iTunes what impact it could have made]
17. Meghan Trainor - NO
25. Jay Sean Feat Sean Paul - Make My Love Go
27. The Killers - Mr Brightside
33. Years & Years Feat Tove Lo - Desire
41. Fifth Harmony - The Life
56. Nick Jonas Feat Tove Lo - Close
85. Iggy Azeala - Team [Ouch, I'm guessing this will be a buzz single now]
90. Katy B & Chris Lorenzo - I Wanna Be
92. MNEK & Zara Larsson - Never Forget You [This is going to take a huge tumble in the official charts]

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 29 2016, 08:52 AM

175. WSTRN - Come Down

Really getting into this now, shame it's not higher. Confident it'll rise again though! Also, 'Panda' is at #147. Keep an eye on this - starting to blow up in America and giving me slight Trap Queen vibes (obviously won't be as big as that though).

Posted by: omrimayo Mar 29 2016, 09:12 AM

ME 2!

Posted by: Bré Mar 29 2016, 09:25 AM

Ahh I see, in that case you may well be right there. Does seem like the sort of song that would 'normally' be held back until it's nearly past the point of being relevant and then have a big week at #1 and fade quickly (pun semi-intended). Maybe the same for the likes of 99 Souls, although that's not a great example as that was held back for a very long time anyway, just still took a while to get going even after that

Posted by: iain Mar 29 2016, 11:55 AM

Sia is now no 3 when combined and very close to 2. Could it be no 1 next week?

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 29 2016, 12:39 PM

It has plenty of time, we need to learn not to write stuff off so soon in the current era of the chart.

Posted by: johnjo07 Mar 29 2016, 12:40 PM

'Mr Brightside' forever taking advantage of that 59p impact (I assume it's 59p, right?)

Posted by: Ryan. Mar 29 2016, 12:57 PM

Now to #150!

Posted by: Joe. Mar 29 2016, 01:10 PM

99. WSTRN - "Come Down" Any reason for its climb after its massive drop?

Posted by: Mango Mar 30 2016, 10:55 AM

TOTD effect

58. Flo Rida - My House

This will most likely climb into the top 40 by the end of the weekend.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 30 2016, 12:26 PM

It's been hanging around for ages has it not? Why would it vault into the top 40 now?

Posted by: Rob S Mar 30 2016, 01:24 PM

Because the song is one of the theme tunes to Wrestlemania which is this Sunday.

It's not very good though so I'd prefer it didn't 'vault into the top 40' tbh.
2nd version of Cake By the Ocean now top 100 so top 15 seems comfortable for DNCE this week I'd have thought!

Was about to ask if this has had an effect, hope they go much higher.

Posted by: Hadji Mar 30 2016, 06:00 PM

Good to see Walk The Moon climb to #115 with WTB. Hope it climbs some more so they can have their one-hit wonder status removed

Posted by: Regina Mar 30 2016, 06:12 PM

Can this remix actually please be murdered? Horrible excuse for a song.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 30 2016, 06:15 PM

Agreed, the original is streets ahead

Posted by: iain Mar 30 2016, 06:41 PM

Sia is now no 2 combined - just.

Posted by: Mango Mar 30 2016, 06:42 PM

Wow!! Who would ever have predicted that even a couple of weeks ago?!

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 30 2016, 06:47 PM

Can it not... much superior to the original. 2002's very own Ja Rule featuring makes it amazing!

Where is I Luh Ya Papi?

Posted by: Mango Mar 30 2016, 08:09 PM

Forget I Luh Ya, where is Papi? that's hands down my favourite J-Lo song.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 30 2016, 08:33 PM

19. Jay Sean

Posted by: Liаm Mar 30 2016, 08:37 PM

Both Papi songs are rightfully in the pits where they belong

Wow! Totally forgot about Ja Rule, is that guy even still alive?

Posted by: Dircadirca Mar 31 2016, 03:00 AM

He just had his 10th birthday at the end of last month

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Mar 31 2016, 07:44 AM

50 Cent destroyed his career didn't he?!

Posted by: Regina Mar 31 2016, 07:57 AM

I Luh Ya Papi is a legit JAM.

Can we expect The Vamps x OMI - I Found a Girl or Galantis - Money to make any dent in the chart next week??

Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 31 2016, 05:38 PM

Expect the Vamps to make the Top 40. (Their last single made #12)
Galantis seem unlikely to be honest - at least in week 1.

Posted by: Regina Mar 31 2016, 05:46 PM

They released a single after that (Rest Your Love I think) and that failed to chart.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 31 2016, 05:52 PM

This is a brand new version of I Found a Girl though and has 2 CD singles and a DVD in a bundle on their website, which they usually do but Rest Your Love didn't get that for whatever reason, which was no doubt a huge hindrance to its chart impact. I think this could go top 40 but I'm really not sure.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Mar 31 2016, 05:53 PM

Oh.. well in that case - looks like it'll flop. I did see a pre-order in the Top 200 so it may do a little better than the last single.

Posted by: SevenSeize Mar 31 2016, 07:02 PM

Assuming The Vamps have physicals to help them out (like Joseph was saying) then a Top 40 place is definitely possible

Galantis will have a much slower start, but 'No Money' sounds like it has some hit potential so it should get there eventually

Rihanna - Kiss It Better to #93.

Video was released a few hours ago.

Posted by: Mango Mar 31 2016, 09:04 PM

Plus it's getting support from Capital too. Is there a video for it yet?

Posted by: Steve201 Mar 31 2016, 09:28 PM

Ariana Grande on Alan Carr tonight but not performing - Izzu Bizu performing instead!

Posted by: burbe Mar 31 2016, 09:40 PM

81. Rihanna - Kiss It Better

Hopefully it will continue to make progress tomorrow!

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 31 2016, 09:48 PM

Video's tomorrow!

Posted by: ElectroBoy Mar 31 2016, 10:33 PM

The vamps strategy for this album has been awful. The management of the first album/ singles seemed to be really good but I just can't grasp there strategy this time around and it really isn't working. I can see I found a Girl flopping tbh.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall Mar 31 2016, 10:41 PM

I don't think it helps that radio don't seem to be here for them as much this time round really. The last album got a-list support from Radio 1 for every single bar Can We Dance but they've not made it any higher than b-list this time, and even then I'm sure Wake Up stalled on the c-list for a few weeks. Capital dropped Wake Up after about a week too

Posted by: jase. Mar 31 2016, 10:43 PM

Perhaps radio 1 will make the new track TOTD tomorrow?
