BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Friday Chart Predictions
Posted by: Mart!n 17th September 2016, 08:31 AM
Looks like another static top 5 this week, with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj in the mix as well. James Arthur is looking for a top 10 peak, coming out of nowhere. There are new entries for Calvin Harris with 'My Way' and the long awaited single from Emeli Sandé with 'Hurts' taken from her second studio album 'Long Live The Angels' to be released come November and hopefully Years & Years could just scrape a brand new hit with 'Meteorite' taken from the Motion Picture Soundtrack album to "Bridget Jones's Baby" movie and Kanye West with 'Fade'.. And new peaks from offaiah with 'Trouble' and Matoma & Becky Hill with 'False Alarm'.
Bastille could hold the #1 album for a second week, new releases this week seem very poor, from Usher 'Hard II Love', MAC MILLER 'The Divine Feminine', Die Antwoord 'Mount Ninji and da Nice Time Kid', Young Guns 'Echoes', AlunaGeorge 'I Remember' along with Led Zeppelin and Shakin' Stevens. Mercury Prize winner Skepta with 'Konnichiwa' making a huge U-turn back up the chart, within the top 10.

Gaga is 39 on downloads. Streaming probably won't make that loads better. James Arthur is top dog.
top dog
whatever
Posted by: Scene 17th September 2016, 10:34 AM
at James being Number One in today's mids. Who would've thought it a fortnight ago?
Posted by: mdh 17th September 2016, 10:36 AM
It's not exactly a static top 5. James Arthur, Calvin Harris and Ariana Grande all have a chance to climb into it.
Posted by: Hadji 17th September 2016, 10:36 AM
James Arthur won't hang on although I want him to
Posted by: gavindeejay 17th September 2016, 11:01 AM
I'd like James Arthur to go to Number 1, not because I'm a fan of him or the song, but it would be good to have a new Number 1 instead of having the Chainsmokers outstaying their welcome like Drake and Major Lazer did. It's unlikely though as streaming will give the Chainsmokers a big advantage.

Bastille to stay number one on album charts, Led Zeppelin and Usher for top five, I've noticed a couple of people on the chart predicta thread think Shakni Stevens is heading for the top five in the album charts, I'll be quite surprised if it happens
Posted by: No Sleeep 17th September 2016, 11:10 AM
I hope Usher gets #1, doubt it though 
Posted by: Scene 17th September 2016, 12:03 PM
You're most likely right but SYWLG is the type of song that could keep growing and growing simply because it is the type of MOR ballad that is slow burning and hangs around forever - like Thinking Out Loud, Dancing On My Own, Jar Of Hearts etc. The fact it is already iTunes #1 with minimal airplay and promo suggests it could widen its lead this week if Heart/Capital get on board.
Posted by: SKOB 17th September 2016, 12:29 PM
Would be a miracle if Gaga stays in top 40, it's possible though with ok-ish streaming and video coming on Tuesday
Posted by: timjimlee 17th September 2016, 01:38 PM
Shakni Stevens - sounds like an Asian tribute act!
Posted by: timjimlee 17th September 2016, 02:00 PM
I agree Bastille should be in running for top spot , The Beatles should hold well given related Film is on general release now.
As one X factor winner is doing well in Singles wonder whether another (Sam Bailey) can trouble the Top 10 given her previous Album got the top spot - can't even find in Amazon Top 100 best sellers at moment so chances not good. Both Usher & Led Zeppelin should enter higher.
Skepta should rise to Top 10 after Mercury Prize win.
Odd that Tinie Tempah moved away from releasing his Album this week as the competition doesn't look the strongest.
Posted by: Common Sense 17th September 2016, 03:42 PM
Sam is No.167 on Amazon's sales chart. Oops!
Posted by: timjimlee 17th September 2016, 03:51 PM
She had tweeted her excitement yesterday that the Album was at number 29 on the iTunes Album chart, I'm guessing that was close to peak position. At this rate she may struggle to break the Top 20 overall.
Posted by: mdh 17th September 2016, 03:55 PM
You know you've made it when you're 29 on the iTunes album chart. Even a band called THE HUNNA I've never heard of got to #4 :,)
Posted by: ___∆___ 17th September 2016, 04:32 PM
I thought Sam would do well with her album but clearly not. She has album signings at HMV all week which will help - I streamed the album and it's surprisingly good.
Posted by: Cremey 17th September 2016, 05:10 PM
I really hope AlunaGeorge chart decently with 'I Remember', although I'm not expecting them to :'(
Posted by: Hadji 17th September 2016, 05:22 PM
I don't want Bastille hanging on to the top spot. Usher to dethrone them please
Posted by: T Boy 17th September 2016, 05:25 PM
I know, 2 weeks at the top. What a chart hog.
Posted by: Hadji 17th September 2016, 05:33 PM
I don't mind albums spending multiple weeks at the top, only on the condition that there's no new releases, not when there's loads of new releases and None of them can topple it
Posted by: Ethan 17th September 2016, 05:40 PM
#5/6 is probably the ceiling, for james arthur's abomination, while it languishes outside the spotify top50 ~ still that's an incredible result for someone that washed up~
given the current state of churn at the top of the album chart, you wouldn't bet against a new #1~ 
Posted by: Hassaan 17th September 2016, 05:45 PM
It'd be nice to see James at #1 as I really like the song. He'd be the first X Factor male winner to get a post-win #1 if he manages it.
Posted by: mdh 17th September 2016, 06:36 PM
Eek. James decreasing on Kworb, looks as though that #2 isn't in his grasp after all
Posted by: ___∆___ 17th September 2016, 08:21 PM
I'm surprised he's held on as long as he has tbh, he's had an interview and 30 second clip shown on This Morning and minimal airplay.
Posted by: Bré 18th September 2016, 12:19 AM
My dad had Heart FM on in the car earlier and they are already playing James Arthur. I think he'll do just fine.
Posted by: Hadji 18th September 2016, 07:49 PM
At this rate, James Arthur could be the first person to be #1 on sales while missing the top 10 officially
Posted by: danG 18th September 2016, 08:00 PM
I don't think so, James Arthur is doing okay on streaming now (he's just outside the Spotify top 50) so I imagine top 10 this week is incredibly likely.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th September 2016, 08:04 PM
At this rate every Hadji post will start with the words 'at this rate' or make ridiculous incorrect predictions like:
One Dance was at 23 on sales, whilst Sia was at 14.
Posted by: Hadji 18th September 2016, 08:34 PM
It climbed to #23 on sales because of X Factor
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th September 2016, 08:52 PM
But you said it on 7th September, which was after the X Factor?
Posted by: Hadji 18th September 2016, 09:26 PM
"One Dance" was actually used on 10th September's X Factor
Posted by: cqmerqn 19th September 2016, 11:08 AM
I think it's in the bag for James Arthur this week!
Posted by: ElectroBoy 19th September 2016, 11:24 AM
He's still too far behind on streaming. He'll be on the top 50 playlist; which will obviously help with the latter part of the week. However I reckon top 10/5 this week and then Number 1 next week.
Chainsmokers will have built up too much of a lead on streaming over the weekend

Omg, what an exciting top 5 we have there *.* I'd like to think James could hold on to #2, and Calvin can hold on to #5.
Posted by: mdh 19th September 2016, 03:37 PM
The first time in months the chart has actually been interesting.
Posted by: danG 19th September 2016, 03:39 PM
that's an amazing start for Calvin! He could potentially keep the #5 position too as he's already got off to a great start on Spotify too.
and if it interests anyone, new entries in the top 100 from:
58. Tom Zanetti ft. Sadie Ama (You Want Me)
65. Years & Years (Meteorite)
77. Twenty One Pilots (Cancer)
96. Wiley (Can't Go Wrong)
98. Jax Jones (House Work)
Posted by: cqmerqn 19th September 2016, 03:41 PM
YES ELLIE!!
Posted by: JosephStyles 19th September 2016, 03:42 PM
James could hold onto #2 if he keeps increasing on both sales and streams like he is right now, although #4 is looking more likely currently. Calvin could keep #5, depends how he holds up and if Ari increases at all, but he's on track to remain there for the time being.
Posted by: Hadji 19th September 2016, 03:44 PM
Lots of new albums out and Bastille are heading for a second week at the top. This is ludicrous
Posted by: JosephStyles 19th September 2016, 03:47 PM
2 weeks at the top, how dare they! 
Posted by: mdh 19th September 2016, 03:48 PM
Either way, Calvin or Ari in the top 5 is better than Dying On My Own :,)
Are you genuinely complaining about the album chart? Two of the freshest weeks of the year have just passed and the singles chart is more interesting than ever yet you're complaining still :,)

Hardly ludicrous, there aren't many major releases out this week.
I know it is a surprise to get a multiple week number 1 in the Album chart...

I don't have a problem with albums remaining at #1 when there's a lack of new entries but the point is that there's lots of new entries which could easily push it down. But on the other hand, at least they're not being kept at the top because of streaming
Posted by: Hadji 19th September 2016, 03:53 PM
You've got Usher who is a major artist and Tinie Tempah could have been on his way to getting #1 album if he didn't postpone the release until January
Posted by: timjimlee 19th September 2016, 03:56 PM
True but Album has sneaked out without a hit Single to promote it and previous 2 Studio Albums didn't get to the top either.
Posted by: Scene 19th September 2016, 04:06 PM
Not to be pedantic but...
1 The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey - Closer (13.4k)
2 James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go (21.8k)

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 19th September 2016, 04:21 PM
It's only 2 weeks. If Bastille are still #1 in 8 weeks time, keeping off loads of new entries in the process, then's the time to get annoyed.
Posted by: Davidson 19th September 2016, 04:27 PM
No AlunaGeorge in the top 40 albums?
That is one of the biggest injustices of the year. Maybe they should have released when 'I'm In Control' was in the top 40. It is one of the best albums of the year, period. To see it flounder when sales are so tragically low is heartbreaking.
Posted by: Hadji 19th September 2016, 04:27 PM
Emeli Sandé will probably be #1 through Christmas when her album is released

Time for Shaky to deploy some of the tactics that gave Rick Astley's Album a boost:
1. He is appearing on "Lorraine" tomorrow to talk about his new Album. Not quite 'Loose Women' but he may get a chance to show off his dance moves/twerking...
2. Record store signing - all ready done one this week (in Cardiff).
3. One Show appearance - done.
4. Radio Support - may be a challenge that one.
5. Hard-luck story about CD's not getting to store - needs to come up with something similar.

Or simply just do an Olly Murs

Emeli will probably scrape the top 30, Ellie might scrape the top 15 and I'd say that Calvin will stay at 5.

He's on the Radio 2 playlist - A list - might help!
The album is also available now via recordstore.co.uk - signed.

Oh Gaga please climb into top 40! Although it's going to be tough, maybe #45 come Friday
Posted by: Mart!n 19th September 2016, 06:28 PM
Top 5 singles look a bit fresh at the moment on the current mids, I think I have to agree with Joseph, James Arthur could be looking for a #4 placing with Calvin Harris at #5, glad to see Drake's single at #17, funny enough his album is also at #17.
Posted by: Mart!n 19th September 2016, 06:31 PM
I would be happy with an act staying at #1 for a second week, all the new album releases are pretty weak.
Posted by: girl_from_oz 19th September 2016, 06:50 PM
Bastille were always going to get 2 weeks at number one, I wouldn't be surprised if they make it 3 weeks
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th September 2016, 06:52 PM
Good for James Arthur however the missing stream data will obviously go against him.
Those album sales 
Cant believe Usher has not gone Top 5 seeing as he would need so little to do so and Sam Bailey flopping in at #26.
Posted by: SevenSeize 19th September 2016, 06:55 PM
3 weeks will be a stretch too far, they'll have Shawn Mendes, Passenger and Bruce Springsteen to contend with!
Posted by: Bré 19th September 2016, 07:05 PM
It'd be ludicrous if they stayed #1 with all those new albums out
Posted by: T Boy 19th September 2016, 07:14 PM
If there is even only one new album out and its not going to no.1, I go on a bunny rabbit killing spree.

No missing data (he is on 80% streaming sales so far this week) but the gap to #13 is only a few hundred - he should easily get back to at least 13 by the end of the week but his Top 10 run looks to be over!
At this rate he'll be out of the Top 10 by the weekend. [/Hadji]

You never rule out the streaming power of One Dance, it may indeed slip out the top 10 but I can't see it being any lower than #11.
Posted by: diamondtooth 19th September 2016, 08:48 PM
I just listen to the new Sam Bailey album on Spotify. It's actually quite good and even has some lively tracks I wasn't expecting. Fair play to her going out and recording her own original album.
Pity it's only no.26 so far.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th September 2016, 09:42 PM
Disappointed for Sam Bailey as its a good album,I hope it doesn't drop my h and at least go top 40.
Posted by: Steve201 19th September 2016, 10:19 PM
Springsteen will surely do at least 15k and Bastille are only set to get 12-15k this week!
Posted by: Ryan. 20th September 2016, 12:51 AM
I'm hoping there's a chance for Hailee to sneak into the top 40 by Friday. She was #45 last week and her iTunes position has rose substantially this week (into the 70s compared to low 100s last week), and her Spotify streams just keep increasing!
Posted by: girl_from_oz 20th September 2016, 01:36 PM
I'd forgotten about Shawn Mendes, I'm a big Springsteen fangirl but didn't have high hopes for him making number one, hopefully I'm wrnog though
Posted by: Bjork 20th September 2016, 01:43 PM
don't forget Bruce's album is not a studio album but his 3rd or 4th Best Of... good thing it has some unreleased tracks so sure the hardcore fans will buy it... might even beat Shawn Mendes album, which I cannot see selling lots, but probably 12-15K will be enough for #1 next week
Posted by: liamk97 20th September 2016, 01:47 PM
Bruce will probably be quite comfortably #1 next week, I would guess with about 20k-30k. Passenger could possibly hold on to the Top 5 and Shawn Mendes might go Top 10 (surprisingly, his album is not in the Amazon Top 100 - I know it's charting just on pre-orders but new releases that are going to be successful are usually Top 40 at this point).

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 03:01 PM
James Arthur now looking solid at #2, and Calvin should hold onto #5! It's touch and go for Emeli holding onto the top 25 this week though, could happen but could easily miss out.
Gaga now #44. One Dance #16, can't imagine it will get much higher (will definitely be out of the top 10 this week anyway)...
Posted by: Bjork 20th September 2016, 03:10 PM
rooting for James Arthur to stay at #2
looks like Bastille will be lucky to do 12K and the #2 album will probably won't pass 7K :/
Posted by: Mart!n 20th September 2016, 03:16 PM
Thanks Joseph, I was just about to shout out.
I still can't believe it this time next week James Arthur could be in with a chance at the #1 spot. Who would have thought it
Posted by: danG 20th September 2016, 03:17 PM
James Arthur was the 2nd best selling song of the last 24 hours, so it seems very likely now he'll keep hold of #2 especially as his streaming is now really kicking in (top 20 on Spotify).
Seems very likely it will be a future #1 too.
Posted by: cqmerqn 20th September 2016, 03:18 PM
I really want Ellie to get to number 10 this week. Is it possible? Number 4 on iTunes and increasing on Spotify
Posted by: Moooo 20th September 2016, 03:24 PM
Meat loaf? If possible thanks
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 03:35 PM
Meat Loaf is #9!
Doubtful, I think #12 is looking more likely for her right now, but maybe top 10 next week?
ALSO: we could be losing One Dance, Perfect Strangers AND Don't Let Me Down from the top 10 in one swoop
The first two will almost certainly be out, and it seems to be a battle between DLMD and In the Name of Love for #10 this week, and currently Garrix has a higher daily sales figure.
Posted by: gooddelta 20th September 2016, 03:42 PM
I'm just pleased Maroon 5's '7 weeks at #2' record looks safe
On another note, despite the huge sales drop, position-wise that's a fantastic hold up for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, seeing as their last album went 3-23.
Posted by: mdh 20th September 2016, 03:53 PM
Am I allowed to ask if Sia is #6?
Posted by: pippa 20th September 2016, 03:54 PM
Sam Bailey dropping 3 places is a worry she will miss out on a top 40 position. Olly Murs is having a wonderful chart run but misses out on getting it to a top 10 hit status. Position aside, the single will have very good sales long term.
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 03:55 PM
No you're not
(she's #8, Calum is #6, he could well fall to #8 though with Ari and Sia overtaking)
Posted by: mdh 20th September 2016, 03:59 PM
(she's #8, Calum is #6, he could well fall to #8 though with Ari and Sia overtaking)
He better do. The fact the top ten could look like~
1. The Chainsmokers - Closer
2. James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go
3. DJ Snake - Let Me Love You
4. Major Lazer - Cold Water
5. Calvin Harris - My Way
6. Ariana Grande - Side To Side
7. Sia - The Greatest
8. Calum Scott - Dancing On My Own
9. twenty one pilots - Heathens
10. Martin Garrix - In The Name Of Love
..is very exciting, has to be one of the freshest top 10's of the year?
Posted by: liamk97 20th September 2016, 04:01 PM
There's a very good chance they could get to #2 again!
If Nick Cave and Led Zeppelin sell at the same rate they did yesterday, Led Zeppelin will have only a 100 copy lead and I think they are much more likely to decrease their sales rate as the week progresses.Funnily enough, despite this album looking to be a non-mover and the previous album dropping 20 places, both albums look set to experience a similar percentage drop of ~70% (Push the Sky Away: 23.1k/6.5k = 71.9%; Skeleton Tree: 22.9k/7k = 69.4%)
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 20th September 2016, 04:05 PM
Carpenters please?
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 04:10 PM
#11!
Posted by: Hadji 20th September 2016, 04:27 PM
At least streaming isn't keeping Calum Scott in the top 5. If anything, it's keeping him out of the top 3. Was expecting Emeli Sandé to remain top 20 now streaming and sales are picking up for her
Posted by: Moooo 20th September 2016, 04:49 PM
Doubtful, I think #12 is looking more likely for her right now, but maybe top 10 next week?

Emeli coming for that top 30 debut like I predicted on Sunday 
Posted by: dandy* 20th September 2016, 06:26 PM
I'm never going to buy it but I'd actually be really happy if James Arthur made #1 in the next few weeks, love an unexpected hit - especially when it feels against all odds.
Posted by: danG 20th September 2016, 06:31 PM
If it weren't for streaming Calum Scott would have spent 11 weeks in the top 3 and had a number one peak. So thank god for streaming
Posted by: pippa 20th September 2016, 06:39 PM
I am exactly the same
Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th September 2016, 07:28 PM

Loads of songs have made MASSIVE DROPS like that in the chart, but I believe this is the biggest chart drop for a song that reached #1 on iTunes since Bring Me The Horizon...?
Massive flop as much as I love it :,(
Posted by: jakewild 20th September 2016, 07:40 PM
i didn't even realise it got to #1 on itunes either
MESS
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 07:41 PM
This is actually quite standard for a fanbase act in week 2 really! I'd hoped it would hold up better but it's far from over at this stage. Rise actually fell 43 places in week 2, and that made the iTunes #1!
Posted by: ankietarrr 20th September 2016, 07:53 PM
According to experts Ellie Goulding was supposed to rise dramatically this week
Looks like Adele II is arriving to no 1

You're not going to let this go are you :,)
Posted by: Scene 20th September 2016, 07:55 PM
As much as I hate to admit it, so do I.
At least the song isn't that bad. I don't like it enough to buy it either but JA definitely makes a change from the Bieber and Drake domination.
Posted by: pippa 20th September 2016, 07:56 PM
Alunageorge album position is shocking, i wanted this to do so much better. Huge drop for the wonderful KT Tunstall this week (this was expected)
Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th September 2016, 08:00 PM
Yeah I'd say that is a pretty standard OA/OS drop for a rabid fanbase.
The Stone Roses dropped 17- 169 earlier this year, which I believe is now the biggest fall ever on the Top 200, they also fell 21- 135 with the follow-up.
Other embarrassing drops: Alex Day “Forever Yours” 4-112 (2011/12) and Leeds United “Marching On Together” 10-112 obviously some have gone straight out too.
Posted by: Mart!n 20th September 2016, 08:09 PM
Also 3 albums from the top 10 from last week KT Tunstall, Teenage Fanclub and Twin Atlantic have dropped massively, Teenage Fanclub is practically out of the top 75.
Posted by: Ethan 20th September 2016, 08:17 PM

Posted by: timjimlee 20th September 2016, 09:29 PM
Decent rise for "A Moon Shaped Pool" back into Top 40 for Radiohead on back of (their fifth) Mercury prize nomination exposure.
Album of the year for me and whilst it has made it to Top twice it has only sold 157k which is a poor return compared to previous Albums Sales from them (admittedly from time when Album Sales were healthier).
A special edition box set will be distributed next week with 2 extra tracks , won't make too much difference to sales but hopefully new tracks get some airplay.

Posted by: pippa 21st September 2016, 02:01 PM
This video may give Lady Gaga a fighting chance of a second week within the top 40. This would make its chart run a little less embarrassing. If the lead single performs like this how will the follow up go, probably lucky to make the top 150 (officially)

Posted by: pippa 21st September 2016, 02:23 PM
James Arthur looks almost certain for number 2 this week based on the sales we now see. It would be wonderful if Emeli Sande can move into a top 20 position for its debut week.
Ouch at this woeful album sales, Bastille will likely make around 12,000-13,000 sales at maximum this week for number 1. Unfortunately, Sam Bailey's decline continues in the update as she is down a further place but i can all but hope she will stay top 40 officially on Friday.
Posted by: JosephStyles 21st September 2016, 02:24 PM
She won't.
Emeli could well make the play zone, it's touch and go for her right now.
Posted by: Hadji 21st September 2016, 03:13 PM
I hope she does make the playzone. It could even still be in the charts near Xmas because she'll more likely perform it on X Factor in November to promote her album

Considering the release schedule (not Mothers Day like last time) and less promotion I suppose it could be a whole worse for Sam Bailey. Clearly a lot of those who voted for her on The X Factor have moved on. I do think she has a great voice but I don't know if there's a place in the market for her.
James Arthur looks like he'll be at no. 2, yes. Probably climbing to #1 next week.

Posted by: 360Jupiter 22nd September 2016, 12:00 PM
Should've released it in tandem with a single; or even better, in festival season. Not sure if there's a big natural market for stadium electronica in late September as we move into FALL 
Posted by: pippa 22nd September 2016, 01:59 PM
AlunaGeorge album deserves so much more. I am still shocked by its complete under-performance.
Posted by: Hadji 22nd September 2016, 04:45 PM
Will be shocking if The Weeknd can enter the top 40 tomorrow. Very doubtful but he'll be dead certain to enter next week
Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd September 2016, 04:46 PM
Won't even be close, he's not selling quickly enough on iTunes and no streaming will count for it due to the issue with Thursday streams.
Posted by: Bjork 22nd September 2016, 04:51 PM
Sia did amazingly for 3 days and missed, The Weeknd has a been out for 1 day and I'd say he's under performed big time, he has zero chances to go top 40 tomorrow, he might have sold 2K on itunes today... and probably he'll get a zero from Spotify for the charts cos they cannot deliver Thu data in time... so 2K is certainly not enough to get top 40, at this rate he might not even be top 100 lol
Posted by: mdh 22nd September 2016, 04:57 PM
I'd say he's a dead cert for top 10, next week. This will also mean it's the most consecutive weeks we've had a new entry in the top 10 all year. Yay.
Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd September 2016, 05:34 PM
Has there been any Thursday-releases which have charted the next day (Friday)?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd September 2016, 06:12 PM
Bearing in mind Prince could only reach 65 after he died on the Thursday, I don't think any release could make the Top 40 after being released then.
Posted by: mdh 22nd September 2016, 06:14 PM
Daft Punk reached #3 with less than two days worth of sales.

"One Dance" entered the top 40 with 3 days of sales during the streaming era so that holds the record
Posted by: danG 22nd September 2016, 07:29 PM
Get Lucky did break streaming records at the time so Get Lucky probably would've still debuted high in the streaming era, and obviously would spend ages at number one
Posted by: Đřßßř 22nd September 2016, 09:25 PM
Get Lucky would probably have only had 1 extra week at the top tho (the week La La La punctured Pharrell's stronghold at the top) cos Blurred Lines was HUGE on streaming too right? (Not certain on this mind)
Posted by: danG 22nd September 2016, 09:27 PM
yep Blurred Lines was a big streaming hit too (seems obvious that it would be) so that would've taken it down after it had its 5 weeks.
