Joel Corry & MNEK may make it 6 weeks at #1, or could Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion snatch it? Headie One, AJ Tracey & Stormzy's collab Ain't It Different is on course for a top 5 debut, and expect big new entries for BTS with Dynamite and Clean Bandit, Mabel & 24kGoldn with Tick Tock. London Grammar also return with their new single Baby It's You

The Killers' Imploding The Mirage should become their sixth album to reach the #1 spot. Erasure's new album The Neon is among this week's releases, including Jamie Webster, The Waterboys, Bright Eyes, Blues Pills and Nas

Breakdown of the week
- Saturday: Some information may be posted on social media but it is likely to be missing most streaming data and is unrepresentative.

- Monday: OCC Top 100 from 5:45pm
- Tuesday: Top 40 update as and when we receive them with requests, this is NOT 100% guaranteed however. The OCC may publish sales flashes of their own accord but likewise, this is not guaranteed.

- Wednesday: Top 40 update from Music Week from 5:45, and potential top 5 sales but this is not guaranteed.
- Thursday: See Tuesday.

Other notes (please read)
- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).
- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.

Anyone released physical singles this week?

Posted by: Nick Jonas 23rd August 2020, 01:25 PM

WAP at #1 then

Posted by: dan-G 23rd August 2020, 01:26 PM

is there another physical release no one here knows about a la Joy Division/Gareth Malone?

or maybe BTS are number one thanks to multibuying.

Yeah I'm inclined to go with BTS at #1, and I'd be happy for it to stay there! They're releasing 2 more versions tomorrow, so that will help a lot.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd August 2020, 01:48 PM

As much as I like them, it's strange to me how much some people spend on their music though - do massive groups need to have "donations" to buy their singles?

Posted by: Mart!n 23rd August 2020, 01:48 PM

Usually I take the First Look Chart with a pinch of salt If it is BTS I'll be more inclined they will drop once the missing weekend data is added.

Posted by: Sour Candy 23rd August 2020, 01:50 PM

How would BTS or Cardi at #1 "raise eyebrows" lol

BTS have great sales and Cardi has huge hit right now.

OH it might actually be Snow Patrol? They've just released a 5-track EP for charity

Posted by: Bjork 23rd August 2020, 02:01 PM

BTS being #1 today (but not Friday) is totally expected if anyone looks at the iTunes data

BTS fans raising money and massive buying the song sounds 100% illegal and should be banned

They have two number one albums. They ARE popular. Get over it!

Posted by: dan-G 23rd August 2020, 03:22 PM

Even if BTS are #1 tonight (which seems feasible with good download sales + missing streaming data) they'll most likely be out of the top five by Friday anyhow. It does make sense that Dynamite is doing better than previous singles considering it's fully in English too.

Posted by: Supercell 23rd August 2020, 03:26 PM

Whilst they might be popular, fans getting people to donate money to buy their single is a whole new level of desperation. Actually surprised to see they've never made the top 10 over here, I thought they had done but must be getting it confused with the U.S.

Anyway I can't see them being top 10 by the end of the week, I think it'll be a close fight between WAP and HAH.

Posted by: RobBot 23rd August 2020, 03:30 PM

I reckon the #1 is gonna be River by Ellie Goulding.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd August 2020, 03:31 PM

Well this isn’t particularly ‘eyebrow raising’ yet! I’m pretty sure it will be BTS at number 1 too.

I was hoping for this to get to the top 10 today.

Posted by: Bré 23rd August 2020, 05:15 PM

Let's be honest, James Masterton would probably consider it 'eyebrow raising' for BTS to even be like #3 let alone #1. Y'all are reading too much into it. x

-prepares egg for face if the #1 turns out to be some random old song with a physical release no one knew about-

I'm quite confident that BTS must be this "eyebrow raising" thing but I'm not really seeing how - if they're #1 it wouldn't really be any surprise? and I think I'm quite confident on what the remaining songs are? (won't post for spoilers etc)

If the eyebrow-raising moment is BTS at #1, I'll be very underwhelmed. I mean, I didn't think it would be Arundhati Roy with a surprise top 10 hit, but I think BTS having a big hit given their fanbase isn't really a surprise.

'Butterfly' itself samples the RHCP song. I suspect they were going for a Crazy Town sample rather than directly an RHCP sample though.

The eyebrow-raising moment has nothing to do with the song being at #1. It's the fact that this is a Korean boyband being at #1. Xenophobia is real ladies~

I think this would've been a better clickbait: "a foreign boyband, xxx song by two female rappers and a queer guy are in the Top 3. and only one act is fully british! eyebrows will be raised for several reasons".

OCC says,
Dynamite notched up 1.7 million streams in its first 48 hours, and is currently 1,700 chart sales ahead of Joel Corry & MNEK’s five-week chart-topper Head & Heart. As things stand, Dynamite could be BTS’ first Official UK Number 1 single, or their first UK Top 10.

but one thing is a fan multi-buying, I can totally understand it, sure thats' been done a million times
and that's fine if you go and buy the pink cassette and then the golden cassette and then the rainbow cassette

but here there is an organisation collecting money and then buying for others,
you don't have to spend any $, they buy it for you,, that's what's wrong imho

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 24th August 2020, 11:58 AM

BUT it’s the fans are doing it. Yes it’s crazy, but it’s not chart rigging either, because the people paying are the fans not the record company.

Personally I’m all for it, it’s a long time since the UK chart meant this much to anyone, even if the song is pretty mediocre.

Posted by: dan-G 24th August 2020, 01:04 PM

43k already is a surprise, didn’t think they’d even do that much for the week.

looks like we can all collectively unroll our eyebrows now too ...not that I ever expected BTS would have a chance at staying number one, but they should at least get their first top ten which would be welcome seeing as this is one of the better songs I’ve heard from them.

pleased that Clean Bandit are looking to at least go top 40 this week and I expect they’ll climb to the top ten soon enough too. also quite like that new Headie One song so would be here for that remaining top five.

Posted by: LMLou 24th August 2020, 01:05 PM

Not a great start for Clean Bandit, I thought they’d manage a low top 20 debut

Posted by: Bjork 24th August 2020, 05:19 PM

But this is making the album charts a mockery

If you look at which albums have been streamed the most on Apple, proper streams not playlists,
Mabel is not top 1500... while for instance NAS is #4

but then who's above who on the album charts?

Mabel should be in the playlist charts not the album charts

it's just wrong that the #4th most streamed album is beaten by an album not even top 1500

What are the killers projected to sell for the week, I wonder is 60k possible?

Posted by: Bré 24th August 2020, 11:42 PM

The Killers are 3.3k ahead of what Gaga had in the Monday midweek of her release date and their sales are likely to be more frontloaded than hers since they don't have nearly as much streaming presence - I think they'll end up having a pretty similar opening week to Gaga (so around the low 50s) unless there's something coming to significantly boost their sales.

Looks like they'd have easily got the biggest first week sales of the year by a comfortable margin if their vinyl release had been this week, and they still might get it even without that!

(BTW I'm pretty sure The Killers were never scheduled to release the same week as Gaga, that was Gerry Cinnamon wasn't it? A Killers vs. Gaga chart week would have been pretty interesting looking at these numbers though!)

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 25th August 2020, 12:03 AM

There was an interesting Music Week article about this trend of adding tracks to albums:

It's apparently something Polydor does to 'create album stories' for artists who wouldn't otherwise have them.

Where does it stop though? I mean it's fine to add whatever to whatever (who am I to tell them it's wrong~) but I won't call that an album. Compilation, greatest hits, everything including a kitchen sink.

Also you can make good sounding music on your iPhone these days so lack of money doesn't quite work as an excuse for me. As an example, iamamiwhoami also struggled big time but their music spoke for itself and they found bigger commercial success in the end after 3 whole albums.

The Killers delaying the vinyl release is quite a clever tactic to keep the album in the upper reaches of the chart a while longer than they probably would have achieved otherwise. I won't buy the CD but I may buy the vinyl and in the mean time I'm streaming it. Well done, Island Records!

Maybelline adding every single song to her album is making a mockery out of an "album" concept most of all. Just shows how painfully little credibility she has as a musician and an artist. It's ALL about money and charts and promotion... to get more money

Meh.

I was expecting also WAP and H&H to be very close with WAP slightly ahead, so this is surprising

but I've noticed with other urban songs like The Box that they get less streams than the Spotify numbers suggests
which I think means that more people stream them for free,
so might be the case for WAP vs Joel Corry, WAP might have a higher proportion of free streams than Joel

The thing is I acc like Mabel, I own the album (the actual original one, Version 1 of 5000 ) and it's a fab listen but it makes you think, when will it stop? It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if she tacked her second album lead onto High Expectations as well :') It doesn't affect my enjoyment of her as an artist as I'm sure it's label driven and artificial chart runs are hardly a massive deal in 2020, but meh it's just annoying lmao.

What I would do with the albums chart is that instead of the 12-track rule, all songs that are registered as singles would be counted out of the album streaming total. This would actually show who's listening to the album. I know sales would dive-bomb but I'm sure they could fiddle with the ratio or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The US album streaming situation is even worse. They don't downgrade the top 2 songs, so 1 hit single can hugely inflate the parent album even if there's no actual interest in the full thing. Our situation is way better (and the US are not immune to situations like Mabel's album either so that problem isn't solved).

Wow!!!

It's also at nos. 1, 2 and 12 on iTunes

Posted by: dan-G 26th August 2020, 02:53 PM

didn't expect Vera to get that high even with her big iTunes lead. shame about why she's charting but it does feel somewhat appropriate for her to have a top 40 hit this year given We'll Meet Again made the top 75 on two separate occasions.

I expect R1 will only play a snippet of the song on the chart show anyway.

Posted by: JulianT 26th August 2020, 02:58 PM

I'd guess Vera's on around 10k which means she could make the Top 10 with 2 more days around the same level.

Cardi finally gaining on Joel...probably too late for this week but makes her favourite for next.

As quite a lot of data is missing Joel's sales might actually be pretty close to last week's - would be good if he could avoid a decline.

I wouldn’t rule Calvin out but I think he’s more likely to not peak in week one given the performance of his last few major commercial releases so number one is probably Cardi’s next week, unless Drake surprise drops his album and that has some big single they instantly push.

I've not heard the Calvin & Weeknd song yet but it'd be impressive if it debuted at #1, considering even One Kiss didn't manage that (it debuted at #3, Promises at #4, Giant at #7). I'd say it's more likely to debut top 5 and potentially climb to #1 but I could very easily be wrong on that.

32,933 Giant [38k off Ava Max at #1, 70,721]

Cardi sold 51k last week and will end up higher in tomorrow's chart. She's the front-runner going into next week. I think it'd be a tough ask to beat her going by Calvin's past few proper singles!
