Posted by: danG Aug 24 2019, 11:50 AM

hopefully 3 Nights can somehow sneak ahead of Ed Sheeran this week, we could really use an actually good number one for once.

(or Higher Love but I think 3N is more likely)

Higher Love is increasing streams. Currently number 2 on Apple, number 3 Amazon, number 6 Spotify and number 1 iTunes. There’s also an official video coming. It may push it to the top spot!

Posted by: Ianmusic31 Aug 25 2019, 06:25 PM

Currently Ed and Stormzy are number 1 and Kygo and Whitney are number 2 on the first look at the chart.

Freya has dropped quite a bit on iTunes today so unfortunately it looks like Castles may nave to have a 16 peak when I thought it deserved more

Posted by: 777666jason Aug 25 2019, 10:06 PM

Fingers crossed 3 taylor stay top 40 bit suprised one isnt YNTCD, also she looking like Slipknot kind of sales maybe a little bit better if not as frontloaded but should be enough to go number 1 regardless

Posted by: JosephAvery Aug 25 2019, 10:08 PM

You Need to Calm Down is on ACR

So looking like 2 fresh taylor tracks plus 1 thats a week old if they can hold up decently

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Aug 26 2019, 02:08 AM

Really want higher love to go number 1.

Posted by: Ianmusic31 Aug 26 2019, 07:03 AM

Higher love video has been released, Really hope it's this weeks number 1 ☺️

Posted by: Bjork Aug 26 2019, 07:23 AM

Bit late for the Higher love video
Yesterday Higher love did like 160k less than Ed on
Spotify, so no chance sadly :/

Posted by: danG Aug 26 2019, 08:06 AM

Ed bloody Sheeran has to ruin everything doesn’t he. Not Kygo coming to peak at number two although I’m pleasantly surprised he’s got this high.

Posted by: jimwatts Aug 26 2019, 08:51 AM

At least it won't be Beautiful People again. Though without seeing the sales, I'd say an Ed 1-2 with Higher Love at #3 is still possible...

Posted by: Algernon Monqueef Aug 26 2019, 10:10 AM

THIS!!

I called a below 40k, 25-35k opening for Taylor, bug that option wasn't even on the polls

Posted by: JosephAvery Aug 26 2019, 03:51 PM

Considering Higher Love is now only 20k behind Beautiful People on Spotify with a considerable iTunes lead and being #1 on Apple Music, I'd be surprised if it didn't stay at #2.

Posted by: Envoirment Aug 26 2019, 04:36 PM

I hope "Higher Love" can somehow manage to get to #1 with the release of the music video. I assume it'll have a few more oppotunities over the next few weeks to get to #1 if it doesn't get there this week?

Posted by: SophieMax Aug 26 2019, 04:59 PM

I hope "Torn" charts!

Posted by: Hiyaluv Aug 26 2019, 05:41 PM

Second time Ed has denied a late pop legend a glorious posthumous chart-topper. I don't actually the mind this song compared to his other singles but he has reached peak smugness in the video. He needs a long break, but obviously won't have one as terrified of people moving on from him. Capaldi was properly on the cusp of stealing his thunder prior to him remembering his hip-hop roots or something.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Aug 26 2019, 05:54 PM

I bet we get more #1s by him by extra features on top of the already existing features through the year too

I wouldn’t have minded so much had it been a solo song (like I didn’t so much mind the perfect remixes) but adding more features on a collaboration just shows you hes just wanting more accolades. He seen Ariana getting 3 #1s in a short pace of time so he has to go and do the same.

Hopefully his next solo album will come in 2021 at the earliest.

I actually used to like Ed and I do musically but it’s his personality what I find off putting. Everyone seems to think he’s so down to earth and normal but I think he’s got the biggest ego in music.

Posted by: Hiyaluv Aug 26 2019, 06:02 PM

Yep, looking like a total megalomaniac at this point. I was looking forward to his bubble bursting before but now I'm really looking forward to it since the "half a billi" line. And he has the most awful legacy already considering the sheer number of dressed-down balladeering 'ordinary' heartbroken young men dominating the pop scene.

Posted by: Yog Aug 26 2019, 06:10 PM

Sam is dropping hard on ITunes thx to the numerous singles going discount...

Posted by: 777666jason Aug 26 2019, 06:12 PM

Dont a lot of artists release pointless remixes these days that just dont seem to take off and have much effect (YNTCD clean bandit remixes by taylor swift, bounce back little mix had a dozen off the top of my head) so why is Ed suddenly satan reincarnated because his are being effective, didnt OTR get a few weeks dye to the billy ray cyrus version being released? Or is that fair game because Lil nash hasnt been around as long

Posted by: Cqmerqn Aug 26 2019, 06:18 PM

I can see Ava missing the top 100 ffs

Posted by: Glenn 69 Aug 26 2019, 06:49 PM

3 Nights and Ritual are both 59p. Does Dominic Fike have a shot at No1 or are we resigned to a month of Take Me Back to London at the summit?

Posted by: darrens94 Aug 26 2019, 06:56 PM

He’s releasing two new songs at the end of the year just to make your day.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Aug 26 2019, 06:59 PM

Because its different when Eds track was already a collaboration though. That’s the issue.

Like I didn’t mind it in OTR case or even Ed’s Perfect as the album version of that song and the first version to chart was just a solo version as was the Little Mix and Taylor tracks you mentioned.

Posted by: sammy01 Aug 26 2019, 08:46 PM

People just don't like Ed on here because they sit in certain artists forums begging for their fave to be as savvy as he is but they aren't, they don't sell anywhere near what Ed does and you can feel the bitterness ooze out.

Ed is smart and talented.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Aug 26 2019, 10:26 PM

Posted by: Bjork Aug 27 2019, 05:52 AM

Yes agree ed’s label are very smart
A bit like Westlife used to be
Talented? Sure but as a money-maker machine
Nothing to do with good songwriting or real music

Posted by: sammy01 Aug 27 2019, 07:11 AM

He writes his own music (and lots of other artists music too) he plays guitar, he is heavily involved in his music. To say he isn't a good songwriter or doesn't make 'real music' is laughable.

Posted by: T Boy Aug 27 2019, 08:46 AM

Actually you can say he isn’t a good songwriter if you don’t like any of his songs. I can’t stand his writing and I don’t think it’s that impressive. There are so many great songwriters out there who just get ignored.

Decent sales for Taylor, probably 50k by Friday!

Posted by: Rob Aug 27 2019, 01:14 PM

What did Taylor's last album open with? Early sales look decent for her.

Posted by: coi Aug 27 2019, 01:16 PM

Reputation opened with 83,648.

Posted by: Bré Aug 27 2019, 01:21 PM

#12 at this stage is great for 'GINGER', hopefully should be safe to outpeak 'iridescence' now then (especially as that album actually climbed during the mids due to being very much stream-dependent which this one will be too so it hopefully at least won't drop much), wasn't expecting that to happen so yay!! Impatiently awaiting the top 100 singles update to see if its Spotify performance has been enough for 'NO HALO' to get them a first 'hit' single.

Taylor's sales looking decent if a bit of a dip from the last era, I think this album could stick around pretty well for her though especially if they do push the title track as a proper single as it seems like a good album selling song. Cool to see Headie One in the top 5 as well!

Posted by: 777666jason Aug 27 2019, 01:51 PM

Yasss, should be safe to stay top 100 then (the second song obviously won't but nice to see it showing up in the midweek update as well! even though it's one of the worst songs on the album)

Posted by: coi Aug 27 2019, 02:00 PM

Tones & I #41 as well. Also Ladbroke Grove above Beautiful People for a potential new peak at #3!

Ugh can we not at Lauv/Anne entering, I was hoping that was gonna be stuck at its original #43 peak. Not really a fan of this new Wiley single either so I hope the Taylor album tracks are decent x

Good sales for Taylor
Shocking flop for The 1975 after all the payola

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 04:30 PM

Well it's their most uncomercial single they've ever released - if they were bothered about singles chart success, they wouldn't have released this first.

The 1975 being as high as #42 in the midweeks is honestly pretty impressive for such a terrible uncommercial song. This and Slipknot's couple of charting songs are pretty far outside the limits of how heavy chart music usually gets these days.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 04:37 PM

And Rammstien making it to #98

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 27 2019, 04:42 PM

Great sales for Taylor after all! Deserved though. Reputation was Q4 too so I think the sales decrease is actually pretty on point considering where sales are at now and that this isn't Q4! I can def see this album holding up as 'Lover' gets more airplay etc.. I just hope heart are on board straight away!

Posted by: coi Aug 27 2019, 04:49 PM

I'd argue that was even more remarkable considering it's not even in English.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 04:51 PM

I think Tool's Fear Innoculum would have made it as well, had it not been released on a Wednesday.

Posted by: Bré Aug 27 2019, 04:52 PM

Nah I doubt TOOL's first 7 days would have been enough to make the top 100. (Forgot about Rammstein of course x)

Posted by: Hadji Aug 27 2019, 05:21 PM

Oh f*** off Ed being greedy and trying to get a #1. Stopping the dead from getting a #1 AGAIN

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 05:23 PM

It's almost as if he wants his music to be successful

Posted by: Bré Aug 27 2019, 05:32 PM

Nah, he just really wants to spite dead people apparently.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 05:33 PM

If it's 'again' - has there been a first time?

Posted by: coi Aug 27 2019, 05:34 PM

Yes, I think it's when Perfect kept off Last Christmas.

Posted by: Hadji Aug 27 2019, 05:38 PM

Yep. Christmas 2017 when they tried to get it to Xmas #1 to honour George

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 27 2019, 05:40 PM

There's a film based on the song Last Christmas out this year - wouldn't surprise me if it has another shot.

Posted by: T Boy Aug 27 2019, 05:52 PM

IMAGINE if Kobbar were here...

Posted by: M4NG0 Aug 27 2019, 05:55 PM

And when he himself passes away, I'm sure he'll hog the top spot again just to spite the living. Poor bloke can't do anything right

Posted by: SKOB Aug 27 2019, 05:59 PM

But remember that Ed doesn't promote his music! All the success he's getting is without any promotion whatsoever.

Posted by: Burns Aug 27 2019, 08:02 PM

I remember when Ed Sheeran was the rapper on Evacuate The Dancefloor

Posted by: Bré Aug 27 2019, 08:08 PM

Possibly the worst insult anyone has ever told to him x

Posted by: Esmerelda Aug 27 2019, 09:15 PM

Ed WISHES he had a Cascada collaboration under his belt.

Posted by: Hadji Aug 27 2019, 09:26 PM

HL was used on tonight’s e4/tomorrows c4 Hollyoaks so I hope that gives it a boost

Posted by: Berserker32 Aug 27 2019, 09:53 PM

Hope New Model Army can stay in the Top 10 albums 👍

Posted by: vidcapper Aug 28 2019, 05:55 AM

Posted by: Burns Aug 28 2019, 06:16 AM

You don't??

Posted by: vidcapper Aug 28 2019, 07:43 AM

Well, there's no mention on wikipedia of Ed being involved in ETD...

Perhaps someone could point me to something that clarifies it, as my searches come up blank.

NO OTHER SALES INFO

#5 hasn't even sold 3k... ouch

Posted by: Sid_ Aug 28 2019, 09:27 PM

WTF is this song at #1 looool

Posted by: Bré Aug 28 2019, 09:35 PM

Just an obscure song by an artist doing no promo.

Posted by: Brit Aug 28 2019, 09:37 PM

Taylor should finish around 50k a decent start reputation did 84k during Q4 release

Posted by: dandy* Aug 28 2019, 09:44 PM

That's Ed & Stormzy at #1 for a few weeks then - we may as well all just accept it now!

Posted by: 777666jason Aug 28 2019, 09:45 PM

Wow didnt realise ed had such a lead

Posted by: jimwatts Aug 28 2019, 09:48 PM

Whoever gets #2 will probably have the lowest weekly sale for a #2 this year - currently held by Nothing Breaks Like A Heart which sold 40.3k in its week there, just checked and it had done 24.7k by the Wednesday mid.

Posted by: Djcheekymagpie Aug 28 2019, 09:56 PM

Is señorita Still out top 10

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 28 2019, 10:04 PM

Yes, #11

Posted by: Hadji Aug 28 2019, 10:06 PM

Let’s hope sales decrease in the next few weeks so it will go ACR

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 28 2019, 10:56 PM

Ugh. I'm really surprised Ed is SO far ahead. Poor Whit </3

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 28 2019, 10:59 PM

The one with Stormzy was never in ACR territory though was it? It's BP that will succumb to it next week? In fact TMBTL will be peaking in sales/streams this week surely.

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 28 2019, 11:00 PM

Hadji said "in the next few weeks", he wasn't suggesting it was in ACR territory just yet.

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 28 2019, 11:01 PM

Fair enough!

Posted by: sajjadali Aug 29 2019, 08:32 AM

I thought Taylor would do 100k easily, she is a worldwide megastar, 40k is nothing! just 4k yesterday?

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 29 2019, 08:37 AM

reputation didn't even open with 100k and that was released in Q4, where sales are much higher than they are now. Only two albums have sold over 100k in a week in 2018 and 2019 - Ed Sheeran's new album, and Take That's Odyssey which was in Q4 last year. 100k from Taylor in August would be highly unrealistic!

Posted by: Bré Aug 29 2019, 08:44 AM

Even '1989' didn't open with 100k, that's a pretty absurd prediction especially with the singles from this album not being as big as the leads from her last couple

Posted by: Hadji Aug 29 2019, 08:54 AM

The songs been out for 7 weeks

Posted by: Jack Aug 29 2019, 08:55 AM

At least this will be the last #01 from Ed for a while as he's going for a long break. Thank the LORD.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Aug 29 2019, 09:04 AM

He's releasing some songs from Yesterday in November

Posted by: jimwatts Aug 29 2019, 09:12 AM

And this will only be its 5th week on the charts - it can't go to ACR until it's had at least 9.

Posted by: Bjork Aug 29 2019, 11:55 AM

Ed is taking a break from touring
Not from releasing songs

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Aug 29 2019, 12:02 PM

Oh man, I had no idea the lead was that big either.

The song isn't that bad (aside from the rather woeful lyrics), but seriously DAMN HIM for blocking 'Higher Love' from #1.

Strike a Pose closing in for a top 10... wouldn't surprise me if Kygo is down to 4 by tomorrow's chart as I can see AJ and Dominic overtaking

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 29 2019, 03:30 PM

That's vile. I feel sick </3

Posted by: jimwatts Aug 29 2019, 05:11 PM

Think it's safe to say 3 Nights will be #4 tomorrow.
Higher Love and Ladbroke Grove will both get new peaks in the Top 3. Only question is who will get #2, they are both likely to end close to 40k but whoever gets most is sure to have the lowest weekly sale for a #2 since January. So rather than Higher Love being unlucky to be kept off #1, it would be lucky to be #2 with those sales.

Really hope AJ can get the #2 but doesn't look like he's quite catching up fast enough.

Posted by: jimwatts Aug 29 2019, 05:30 PM

With all the Amazon Music data missing, who knows.
Thinking about that, one of them might just outdo the 42,010 Vossi Bop did while at #2 in June. Still not great sales though.

How has Ed Sheeran got such high numbers when he’s behind other songs on Apple, Amazon, Spotify and ITunes Charts this week?

Posted by: coi Aug 30 2019, 06:04 AM

Because there are multiple versions of the song!

Posted by: Bjork Aug 30 2019, 06:24 AM

Ed hass 3 versions of the song on the Spotify 200, combined he's doing more than 500K per day, while Kygo is doing around 350K most days, so huge difference
