Ariana Grande can stay at #1 for a fifth week with positions, with two big name collabs looking to impact the top 10- Miley Cyrus & Dua Lipa teaming up on Prisoner, and Shawn Mendes & Justin Bieber with Monster. Expect another new entry from BTS with Life Goes On, plus there's singles from MARINA, Ava Max and Jason Derulo

BTS are aiming for their third #1 album in the last two years with BE, with high debuts for Michael Ball & Alfie Boe's Together at Christmas and Neil Diamond's Classic Diamonds looking likely. Megan Thee Stallion's debut album Good News is among the new releases, including Josh Groban, The Cribs, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Iron Maiden, Tim Minchin, RAYE and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

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.
- Sunday: Official First Look Chart on Radio 1 from 6-7pm. Please do not post spoilers on the forum in advance as this ruins the countdown for any listeners.
- 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. Twitter and social media is your friend for today. Please post any information you find with a source. Do not nag for updates, we will post a top 40 update if we receive one.
- 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.
- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored. Any chart requests between No. 41 to 100 will not be answered after Monday's update.
- To keep everyone in the loop of all chart action, please refer to the iTunes and Spotify threads.

Christmas should be cancelled just so that there wouldn't be any more Ball/Boe albums....

Posted by: Dan17F1 22nd November 2020, 01:40 PM

Where does everyone think that Prisoner and Monster will debut then? I’d guess at around 8-9 for Prisoner depending on whether it starts stabilising or not and 11-12 for Monster? However I might be completely off for both of them 😂

BTS to continue to thrive with their own self-penned/self-composed/self-produced music and their poignant lyrics about mental health, discrimination and relationships despite the unnecessary hate they receive for literally being a boy-group.

Talent will win when they claim their 3rd number-one Korean language album, breaking barriers yet again.

BTS are challenging for first UK Official Number 1 single this week with Life Goes On. The South Korean group rank at Number 2 on today’s Official Chart: First Look, based on preliminary downloads and streams across the first two days of the chart tracking week.

Life Goes On is the most downloaded song of the week so far and has also amassed the most video streams over the last 48 hours. The track and its music video debuted on Friday (Nov. 20) to coincide with the release of the band’s new album BE the same day.

J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga and V have already achieved huge success on the UK’s Official Charts in 2020. BE’s lead single Dynamite became their highest-charting single to date, peaking at Number 3. They also conquered the Official Albums Chart for a second time in their careers this year when Map of the Soul: 7 went to Number 1 in February.

Leading overall by a narrow 600 chart sales and on track for a fifth week at Number 1 is Ariana Grande with Positions.

Miley Cyrus is heading for her seventh UK Top 10 single with Prisoner, in at Number 6. The track would also mark the 11th top flight single for featured artist Dua Lipa, who is also at Number 7 with Levitating, which is set for a new peak following her performance on The Graham Norton Show.

In at Number 10 midweek are Shawn Mendes & Justin Bieber with their collaboration Monster, taken from the former’s upcoming album Wonder. The first-time duet from the Canadian superstars could mark Shawn’s 7th UK Top 10 single and Justin’s 22nd.

It seems like every week there's a new threat to Ariana's #1. Sigh, here we go again, this chart **** is not easy!

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 22nd November 2020, 07:01 PM

Ariana doesn’t deserve 5 weeks at all with that bland song.

I’ve warmed to it but come on...5 weeks?!!

Posted by: gooddelta 22nd November 2020, 07:04 PM

One of the driest Q4s ever, crazy that 40k is enough for No.1 at this time of year. Mariah really does stand a good chance this year if everyone is going more xmas mad than ever.

Posted by: Jade 22nd November 2020, 07:04 PM

Ariana continuing to fend off all competition I wonder if that might be the case until the Christmas chart.

Posted by: scratchy23 22nd November 2020, 07:14 PM

She’s 7/1 odds currently. And already #4 on Spotify. I’ve just put £25 on her! Plus with Xmas Day being a Friday this year, the Xmas songs will have huge streams in that week leading up to the chart day.

Posted by: Klumpkin 22nd November 2020, 07:17 PM

It's odd cause it doesn't seem a lack of releases, just that none are doing the numbers we'd expect! Maybe lockdown is having a major effect on streaming numbers and physical sales? Perhaps as people are more likely alone when listening to music they're listening to a wider range of music rather than the top hits of today and therefore the sales at the top are lower?

Posted by: Bjork 22nd November 2020, 07:19 PM

I actually think Mariah will be #1 well before Xmas

Posted by: Addy!os 22nd November 2020, 07:36 PM

Good point because quiet frankly I listen to more 'old' music (90's and 00's) than newer hits!!

Posted by: Steve201 22nd November 2020, 07:55 PM

Same here especially if ‘Positions’ continues to lead with under 400k daily streams

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 22nd November 2020, 07:58 PM

I wonder if BTS will manage to hold up throughout the week.. Dynamite didn't so I don't expect this will, but we have to wait and see.
Great debut for Prisoner and I am shocked at The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl being higher than Mariah!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 22nd November 2020, 07:59 PM

With sales this low it looks increasingly like LadBaby will walk a 3rd consecutive Christmas Number One!

Posted by: gooddelta 22nd November 2020, 08:02 PM

Yeah that’s what I was alluding to, I’m not sure she’ll be Xmas No.1, that will no doubt be LadBaby, but she probably only needs to sell the equivalent of 80k to get to No.1 one week in December.

Posted by: Steve201 22nd November 2020, 08:06 PM

I didn’t hear the First Look Chart today - did Mariah and the Pogues get played?

Posted by: Yog 22nd November 2020, 08:07 PM

Sam rising again

Posted by: Dark Horse 22nd November 2020, 08:08 PM

i thought Justin & Shawn Mendes collaboration will peak a lot higher than Miley/Dua’s duet, given that it has performed way better worldwide.... Ariana’s song shouldn’t have stayed this long at number 1, its one of her weakest tracks...

Posted by: SmileyKylie 22nd November 2020, 08:16 PM

Hope Kylie can stay top 15 with Disco this week

Packed chart

Also wondering if Magic can sneak a Monday top 100 midweek position but with Xmas streaming may not do

Posted by: Mart!n 22nd November 2020, 08:19 PM

Sales are pretty low for this time of the year, I still think Mariah has got no chance been the Xmas #1. Wouldn't surprise me there be quite a few charity tracks coming out, probably one of them will get there, with ladBaby thrown into the mix.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd November 2020, 08:44 PM

Pogues ahead of mariah for now, love both.

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 07:53 AM

wasn't expecting BTS to be #2 in singles, they will fall heavily as on day 2 the song was already out of the top 50 on Spotify and at the bottom of the top 100 on Apple
what a strange song, doesn't sound like them at all, almost sounds like robots singing, it's the most robotic-sounding song I've ever heard

Posted by: Alohomara 23rd November 2020, 09:39 AM

Yes that's more likely the reason. There's been plenty of releases, it's just that the current climate is in a way that the top tracks don't hold as much of the market share than they used to do. Quarantine is for sure the main reason behind this.

Posted by: Chromaticdisco 23rd November 2020, 11:36 AM

I do really like Ariana but positions doesn’t sound like a five week number one despite it growing. With Ariana though her top 10 hits all sound better than her number ones in my opinion. no tears left to cry, One Last Time, Side to Side, God is a woman, breathin beat all of her number ones.

Posted by: Dobbo 23rd November 2020, 11:43 AM

I don't care if Mariah is Xmas #1 specifically, I just want her to have A week at #1 but let's see what tricks the OCC pull this time round...

Does seem a very dry release schedule of late. I'm warming to positions but it'd be a shame if it just remains at #1 by default until Xmas week like thank u next did in 2018 (though at least that was selling bigger numbers).

Posted by: Rob 23rd November 2020, 12:39 PM

And Into You



Thank U Next at least felt like a big cultural moment. Positions feels like a wet fart by comparison.

Posted by: shadow2009 23rd November 2020, 12:44 PM

Sweet Melody 42 sales behind number 2!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd November 2020, 01:11 PM

I'm certainly not warming to 'Positions' and I'm really resenting it hogging the top spot at this point.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 23rd November 2020, 01:18 PM

They’re going to do it because they’ve climbed to #1 on Amazon!!!

Posted by: M4NGO 23rd November 2020, 01:22 PM

It would be a great day for pop for Little Mix to get another number one ten years into their career! And it's a fantastic song too, a hundred times better than 'Positions'.

Posted by: Steve201 23rd November 2020, 01:31 PM

Would be nice if ‘Sweet Melody’ got a week at the top spot. Anyone but ‘Positions’ at this point. It’s not a 5 weeker for me!

Posted by: Jade 23rd November 2020, 01:32 PM

'Sweet Melody' is too low on Spotify to challenge for #1, surely? Billie has discounted on iTunes this week and is still behind Ariana.

I never anticipated this long a stay at #1 for 'positions', but good on her, clearly deserved if she's beating the competition every week.

(I love 'Sweet Melody' too! Great top 3 right now )

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 01:38 PM

Ariana is doing almost double relative to L Mix on Spotify

and L Mix have already all the possible support on Spotify playlists /#1 on HH right now), cannot improve there so not sure how could they get closer to Ariana in streams

they can get to #2 as BTS won't stay anywhere near the top but #1 I'd say it's impossible this week

Posted by: Wall 23rd November 2020, 01:38 PM

Sweet Melody is too far behind on Spotify and Ariana is ahead on Apple Music, can't see them challenging this week but possibly next week if it's discounted too.

Prisoner also #9 in mids

Hopefully BTS fall fast enough for Prisoner to overtake.

Posted by: Steve201 23rd November 2020, 01:39 PM

Yeh I would have thought SM was too far behind on Spotify”” from the figures we can see

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd November 2020, 01:42 PM

Is missing streaming data giving 'Sweet Melody' an advantage here? I'd like them to climb into the top 2 but I can't see past Billie Eyelash being there ahead of them.

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 01:42 PM

if the mids are out, could someone enlighten us about the top 5 in albums please and what kinda sales BTS are on?

Posted by: 365 23rd November 2020, 01:46 PM

The reason Little Mix are so close to Billie, is because they're still doing very well in terms of video views.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 23rd November 2020, 01:50 PM

They’ll get 2 easy this week I think...

Billie is at 25 on Amazon and LM are at 1..

Also higher on YouTube and iTunes and were actually ahead of Billie yesterday on Apple for a bit.

Posted by: Jade 23rd November 2020, 01:51 PM

Oh I don’t doubt they’ll be able to achieve #2, just couldn’t realistically see #1 happening. Get that new peak girls *.*

Posted by: 365 23rd November 2020, 02:03 PM

I agree that it's a stretch for #1 next week but if the label did throw everything at it. (A discount, maybe even some physicals), it wouldn't be out of this realm of possibility for Little Mix to grab it. In terms of actual paid/premium streams they're doing very well in the midweeks.

LOL Ball and Boe beating BTS.

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd November 2020, 04:33 PM

Prisoner's somewhat comfortable ahead of Monster right now, hard to say how this week's going to play out though - Monster's physicals haven't been counted yet and it's hard to see how both Mariah and BTS will do as the week goes on...!

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 23rd November 2020, 04:33 PM

They'll probably get to #1 by the end of the week, but I was expecting BTS to be quite a bit higher that (on the albums front)

Posted by: Klumpkin 23rd November 2020, 04:34 PM

Oh wow didn't expect so many Christmas songs already! Could there be a chance Mariah goes top 10 in November with the new entries possibly dropping?

Also v excited at the possibility of an all female top 5! I never would've thought Levitating could be in with a chance of a top 5 peak!

Posted by: jlj 23rd November 2020, 04:35 PM

Screaming at Ball / Boe actually being ahead! Didn’t expect that in week one but Twitter will be hilarious 🤣

Don’t think it’s a done deal though we’ll see in the next updates if they close the gap but this is already a higher gap than Kylie ever had over Little Mix.

Posted by: Rob 23rd November 2020, 04:37 PM

How come Taylor is so high this week?

And where are Little Mix and Kylie in the Albums chart? The link doesn't seem to have updated yet.

omg Levitating so close to the top 5 and Mariah close to the top 10 Really hope they make it!

Posted by: Esmerelda 23rd November 2020, 04:41 PM

Alexa already got Jess into the top 40- slowly spamming her to the number 1 spot in time for Christmas.

Not suprised at all by Ball / Boe

Posted by: Lukuzz 23rd November 2020, 04:44 PM

Hopefully Little Mix can get to number 2. Shame number 1 seems out of the question. Wonder if Mariah will be top 10 too come Friday?

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 04:45 PM

shock at BTS lol was expecting them to do similar to ACDC hahaha so bad at predicting sometimes
but they did 37K in Feb with their last album, which didn't have a huge proper hit like Dynamite
this is a huge huge huge underperformance so far

Posted by: Jade 23rd November 2020, 04:46 PM

Thank you! Should climb throughout the week if the past fortnight is anything to go by.

Posted by: Everton 23rd November 2020, 04:48 PM

I wound how many more Christmas are between 41 and 100

Posted by: Brett-Butler 23rd November 2020, 04:49 PM

Is it just me or are there a lot more live albums making the top 40 compared to a comparable period last year? I'm guessing that this year has meant less studio albums coming to fruition, leading to some artists raiding the archives for material.

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 23rd November 2020, 04:51 PM

2 live albums at #1 as well! With a possible third with Arctic Monkeys in a couple of weeks

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 04:51 PM

oh the Bieber and Jess Glynne Amazon exclusives top 40 already
Alexa is doing her job already and over-reporting streams too probably

Posted by: Bré 23rd November 2020, 05:06 PM

!! Ball & Boe destroying the dreams of a thousand Twitter accounts. I guess it's not that shocking but I did think BTS would have slightly higher sales than that oops!

If we do end up with Dua replacing BTS in the singles top 5 am I right in saying this will be the first ever all female top 5 (give or take a subjectively credited DaBaby)? Would be amazing to see 'Levitating' as a top 5 hit *.*

Also 'Sunflower' back in the top 40 and 'Blinding Lights' currently showing as a climber, ultimate freshness!

Posted by: oof 23rd November 2020, 05:06 PM

Come through Alexa Glynne!!! snatch that xmas #1
levitating top 5 pls

Posted by: danvember 23rd November 2020, 05:08 PM

11 making a total of 20 in the top 100 today.

Posted by: Bré 23rd November 2020, 05:10 PM

Jess Glynne would need to get past the other Amazon exclusive that is ahead of her first... (and let's pray she does, I swear to God if this Bieber cover ends up hitting #1...)

Posted by: Wall 23rd November 2020, 05:11 PM

Pull through Prisoner!

How far is prisoner behind BTS? I think Monster and that could overtake!

Next week finally going to be the week that Midnight Sky gets a new peak with the album release

Posted by: Bré 23rd November 2020, 05:18 PM

Ahh right - I do remember that being a time of female domination for a while but forgot that it ever quite hit the point of beating the old record of no men in the top 4! (Though Bradley Cooper being a co-lead credit then so it'll be an even more 'pure' achievement this time). Maybe could even extend beyond the top 5 again with Mariah also joining next week?

Posted by: Bjork 23rd November 2020, 05:20 PM

Posted by: danvember 23rd November 2020, 05:24 PM

Maybe if the BTS CD didn't literally cost 50 quid they'd be heading for #1 this week, only so many of their fans would be willing to pay that much.

anyway they can always ask the Army for funds

No the last CD cost more like ~£30

Posted by: Rozz 23rd November 2020, 05:54 PM

Taylor CAN SELL! What a boost from Vinyl's only. Album of the year, easily.

Posted by: Jade 23rd November 2020, 06:03 PM

I think she had 8 different vinyl variants on offer so that clearly worked! Excited for mine to turn up

Posted by: omrimayo 23rd November 2020, 06:05 PM

She had them only on Week 1, the only deluxe edition Vinyl is out this week, so it's all combined.

Posted by: Jade 23rd November 2020, 06:07 PM

Oh I didn't know about the deluxe one too! Well good for her, I'm definitely all for artists utilising the vinyl format.

I got a light purple one back in July and it shipped a couple of days ago *.*

Posted by: SmileyKylie 23rd November 2020, 06:11 PM

Hope Kylie can stay top 15 but with Ariana Grande close behind .....

They both may overtake a few above them.

Can SM snatch the number one this week with an extra push from their label? Could be monumental for LM to score another number one at this stage of their career!

Hopefully Prisoner can hold on to a top-ten position!

Happy Levitating is now firmly lodged in the top-ten and reckon it will stay there until the inevitable injection of Christmas songs next month.

Monster is a good song, it’s a shame it’s not doing better. Shawn’s album is out next Friday; I, pardon the pun, wonder how it will do.

Posted by: slowdown73 23rd November 2020, 06:36 PM

3.3k so far this week.

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 23rd November 2020, 06:40 PM

definitely thought BTS would do more in albums!
and reallyyy hoping Levitating can make the top 5 it would be amazing to have an all-female artist top 5!

Posted by: ___∆___ 23rd November 2020, 06:53 PM

I think BTS would have had it easily but £49.99 for a deluxe CD is pretty extreme when the fanbase is mainly tweens.

It doesn’t even look amazing for what is included -

Wow the chart looks like the chart the week before Xmas not the last week of November lol, wonder whether the Xmas songs will fall a little through the week when streams are less or continue to build.

Surprised at how strong sales are for AC/DC and fair play to the top 2, decent enough sales!

Hope LM can somehow snatch number one - kinda disappointed at Miley/Dua & Mendez/Biebers positions!

Posted by: M4NGO 23rd November 2020, 09:42 PM

McFly holding up much better than I thought, fully expected them to be out of the Top 50 already!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 23rd November 2020, 09:59 PM

I haven't counted but it feels like that to me too. Maybe there's a bit more demand for them when people can't see live music in real life.

Of course i might also be that declining album sales mean live albums - which tend to be a fan purchase rather than appealing to casual listeners - are able to chart higher on similar sales.

Posted by: Cognizant 24th November 2020, 12:12 AM

Hoping Dua Lipa’s live online concert gives Future Nostalgia a nice boost next week.

Posted by: slowdown73 24th November 2020, 11:34 AM

I’ve lost complete interest in the singles charts since the advent of streaming but I do enjoy following the album charts particularly in the run upto Christmas. The singles chart is just boring, predictable and has a lack of movement. Bring back the exciting days of the 80s and 90s when the singles chart was worth listening to!

Posted by: Alohomara 24th November 2020, 11:47 AM

Charts are meant to be a ranking of popularity so predictability is a virtue of a good chart. Seeing not-so-popular songs unpredictably chart high due to charts allowing sales gimmicks is the actual issue.

Posted by: M4NGO 24th November 2020, 11:50 AM

What "sales gimmicks"??

Posted by: djsakgra 24th November 2020, 12:09 PM

wow i think Mariah is gonna save these xmas after all

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th November 2020, 12:36 PM

To be fair, I think it's a lot better now than it was in 2016/2017. That really was a hellish period for following the singles chart.

But yeah, I do miss the old days a lot.

Posted by: house.martin 24th November 2020, 12:54 PM

By and large, these days my only interest in the singles chart is tracking all those Xmas songs.
So apart from Xmas, I rarely follow the chart.
For me, there's a lot of good stuff out there, like The Punch Brothers or Connan Mockasin, also plenty of recent and past World Music that's great.

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 24th November 2020, 01:40 PM

Hi huns.

I agree the single charts were better years ago. Anyway.

I am excited to see where Kylie is today in albums chart midweeks and how far away she is from top 10. Hopefully she can climb closer. Shame she doesnt have major promo this week like other artists a head of her in the charts.

Thanks my huns

Just Carol

Little Mix are #7, Kylie's #13

Shawn's a more comfortable #10 than he was yesterday

No Amazon data for Monday means Bieber and Jess have slipped a lot

Posted by: Addy!os 24th November 2020, 04:12 PM

Levitating Top 5

Potentially it could go #4 if BTS numbers decline rapidly (wishful thinking lol)

Posted by: Bjork 24th November 2020, 04:18 PM

if BTS end up with just 20K sales, that's gonna be a huge underperformance

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 24th November 2020, 04:18 PM

BallBoe extending their lead

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 24th November 2020, 04:20 PM

Nooo I thought LM might have climbed to 2 with SM pulling ahead on Amazon to #1 but I guess Billie’s Spotify lead is still too big.

Posted by: Liam.k. 24th November 2020, 04:22 PM

Will probably lose its #2 placing to AC/DC too.

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 04:23 PM

The sales breakdown of the last BTS album at the end of the week:

29,442 Physical
2,433 Download
6,103 Stream Equivalent Sales

The current breakdown for the new album:

10,709 Physical
2,681 Download
2,817 Stream Equivalent Sales

Obviously the week's not over yet and streams in particular should end up higher than they are (bearing in mind this album only has 8 songs, the previous album had 20 so it hit the 12 song maximum, that's bound to be a disadvantage for this one), and downloads are already higher for this album. It's the physicals letting it down, and there's two reasons: there's only one physical (compared to 4 for the last album), and it costs significantly more (around £45-50, instead of £25-30). It's not an underperformance when you look at the context.

Posted by: Sixth Sense 24th November 2020, 04:29 PM

Is it really just available at £49.99 like on Amazon? Are there no cheaper versions with just the CD? That has book, postcards and all sorts but usually there's an option not to get those. Too expensive.

Posted by: thecarterfilez 24th November 2020, 04:29 PM

whats the difference between prisoner and monster ?

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 04:30 PM

It's a pretty big gap, one that's unlikely to be overcome (and Prisoner widened it slightly yesterday)

Posted by: Addy!os 24th November 2020, 04:31 PM

is Levitating safe for Top 5 or whoever is at #6 will catch up?

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 04:32 PM

Could go either way

Posted by: Sixth Sense 24th November 2020, 04:32 PM

Big drop for Johnny Cash from the Top 10 albums but thought after Ch.5's documentaries at the weekend he'd hold up a lot better.

Posted by: Liam.k. 24th November 2020, 04:33 PM

He did sell a lot yesterday (fourth best seller), should climb a fair bit in tomorrow's update if it holds up.

Posted by: Sixth Sense 24th November 2020, 04:35 PM

Okay right, thanks. They hammered the ad in every single ad break.

Posted by: Hallucinate 24th November 2020, 04:35 PM

Hope Prisoner is safe in the top 10. Is Mariah likely to be in the top 10 by the end of the week?

Posted by: jlj 24th November 2020, 04:36 PM

BTS underperforming! I think Ball/Boe should comfortably get the #1 now don’t see them catching up.

They’re still doing well but I expected them to be on like double what they’re on now.

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 04:36 PM

Not based on yesterday's sales

Posted by: Sixth Sense 24th November 2020, 04:40 PM

They will be in two or three weeks' time. Think Macca's their biggest threat to deny them staying at No.1 through Christmas now.

Posted by: chrissmith276 24th November 2020, 04:42 PM

How plausible is it that mariah goes to number one this year?

Posted by: Bré 24th November 2020, 05:18 PM

0% plausible, big bad OCC will always come up with some obscure justification to rig it to not be #1.

(Some people actually believe this)

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th November 2020, 05:29 PM

Good to see Kylie up to 13.

I guess Ariana and Johnny Cash moving up and could go above her, maybe Lewis too? She could take the Cribs and Nick Cave maybe ?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th November 2020, 05:36 PM

Any hope of Little Mix overtaking Billie and getting into the top 2?

Posted by: shindymindy 24th November 2020, 05:47 PM

He had a number 1 single?

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 24th November 2020, 05:47 PM

You'll Never Walk Alone!

Posted by: jsweetxe 24th November 2020, 05:56 PM

Gary Barlow is a big contender to be #1 for a while, I doubt BTS will climb to #1 throughout the rest of the year. And although they won't get to #1, Little Mix will probably be ahead of BTS around the Christmas period.

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 24th November 2020, 05:57 PM

Hi my huns

Any Kylie sales update? Is she close to top 10?

Guessing the charity single earlier in the year went over your head

Posted by: No Sleeep 24th November 2020, 06:07 PM

So why did they massively underestimate her streams and massively overestimate Ava Max’s streams?

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 06:10 PM

They didn't

Posted by: No Sleeep 24th November 2020, 06:19 PM

Mariah would’ve been #1 if they used the real Thursday data. That’s a fact

Posted by: Bjork 24th November 2020, 06:20 PM

still think BTS are underperforming even if the CD is pricey
during this year they've become much more massive with the GP thanks to Boyfriend
that's their first real genuine non-fabricated hit and thanks to the ad being everywhere and the song being everywhere
their fanbase should have grown like crazy but most important they should attract more random fans
not the hardcore type that buys the cd but the regular music fan that buys it on iTunes or streams it, which is not happening

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2020, 06:27 PM

I mean, we don't actually know that


And this is showing by their iTunes downloads *already* being higher than their last album achieved in ONE WEEK. Their streams won't be much different despite 1/3 less tracks contributing to its stream total. This is the measure of the casual audience - physicals are going to be exclusively fanbase buys at a price of £50. I think the facts are being ignored if you're insisting on calling it an underperformance.

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 24th November 2020, 06:37 PM

LEVITATING FOR TOP 5!!!
and hoping Prisoner stays top 10 ugh

Billie pulling away from LM is a shame number 2 looking unlikely for them , dont think they have a chance of number 1 but would of been nice to be number 2

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 24th November 2020, 07:48 PM

Id love for Billie or Little Mix to be number 1 and not Ariana.

Posted by: Bré 24th November 2020, 07:54 PM

The top 3 are in the correct order xo

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th November 2020, 08:28 PM

I'd say they're completely in the incorrect order.

Posted by: Steve201 24th November 2020, 09:27 PM

Same here, ‘Positions’ has been played a lot on radio 2 this week and my god it’s a snorefest!

Posted by: Alohomara 24th November 2020, 10:29 PM

Swap #2 with #3 and that's the correct order imo

Posted by: jszmiles 25th November 2020, 12:55 AM

I bet Levitating will score #1 after Xmas

Posted by: jvckkk 25th November 2020, 07:47 AM

I’m hopeful Prisoner can hold in the top ten. Amazing to see Levitating literally levitating up the charts too. It being her first UK #1 from this album would be justice.

I highly doubt it but is Megan Thee Stallion's album anywhere to be seen? I know it's downloads/streaming only but I was hoping for something

Posted by: GTH 25th November 2020, 10:57 AM

Seriously though, could you imagine this getting the same amount of weeks (if not more) than Thank You, Next? That felt like a WAAAAYYYYY bigger hit. Just shows the difference a weak release period can have. For Q4, the singles chart does seem quite disappointing.

Hoping Sweet Melody picks back up to challenge for #2, really not keen on Therefore I Am.

Posted by: M4NGO 25th November 2020, 10:57 AM

His kids go to the same school as my daughter and I occasionally see him drive past, I wish I could stop him and ask him

Posted by: danvember 25th November 2020, 11:17 AM

Megan's album is Top 50

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th November 2020, 11:18 AM

It was #42 in the Monday update.

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 25th November 2020, 11:21 AM

Better than nothing I guess oop

Posted by: jlj 25th November 2020, 12:08 PM

Megan’s album will peak after Xmas I think.

Can see it having good longevity actually. Maybe a similar esque chart run to Lizzo’s album where it didn’t peak highly but it stayed on the chart for a while as she become more exposed and released more successful singles.

Posted by: Cognizant 25th November 2020, 12:28 PM

Absolutely here for Levitating to get the number one in the next few weeks; is it possible guys?

Posted by: M4NGO 25th November 2020, 12:30 PM

I'd much rather 'Physical' or 'Hallucinate' have got to number one but I'll settle for 'Levitating' if it's looking possible.

Posted by: :') 25th November 2020, 12:31 PM

What makes everyone think Levitating is reaching #1 soon?

I'm here for it but can't see it happening with the Christmas rush

Tate McRae and Wes Nelson will also overtake this week when missing streaming is added and it will probably be #6 or #7 come Friday

Posted by: M4NGO 25th November 2020, 12:47 PM

I think the suggestion is that it could get to #1 after Christmas. I'm not convinced myself but it would be nice for at least one FN single to make #1.

Posted by: 365 25th November 2020, 12:49 PM

I highly doubt Levitating will get to #1, amazing s that would be. Maybe a #3 or something at a stretch, but if Sweet Melody is going to probably miss the #1, Levitating surely will do.

Posted by: LMLou 25th November 2020, 12:50 PM

I think Levitating will hit ACR before Christmas so it’ll need to get a reset to stand a chance at getting the #1, and even then the likes of Ariana and Little Mix will have to not get reset for it to have a chance. I think it’s still to peak but I don’t see it being a #1 sadly

Posted by: Hallucinate 25th November 2020, 01:06 PM

A Top 5 peak for Levitating will be incredible, especially when you consider Hallucinate’s tragic #31 peak.

However, Levitating, Midnight Sky, Prisoner, Sweet Melody (& mediocre Positions) all possibly Top 10 this week. Best Top 10 in years?

Posted by: Steve201 25th November 2020, 01:24 PM

You should

Posted by: JulianT 25th November 2020, 01:49 PM

Mariah's doing so well and the market is so flat that at a stretch I could see her being #2 behind Positions next week and #1 the week after. Assuming that something else takes the Christmas #1 and that she won't be peaking until at least the first weekend of December she has two chances to get there, on the charts of 11/12 and 18/12. I doubt Positions will be able to hold her back for that long, so it's a question of whether something else comes along that will do more than 40k in a week.

Posted by: Cognizant 25th November 2020, 02:02 PM

Just because there is a majority female top-ten doesn’t mean it’s the ‘best top-ten in years’. Prisoner is okay as is Positions bht there have been better top-tens before.

Posted by: Hallucinate 25th November 2020, 02:05 PM

It’s a subjective statement. It’s my favourite Top 10 in a long time. You do you.

Posted by: Cognizant 25th November 2020, 02:13 PM

You framed it as a question but hey ho.

Posted by: Cognizant 25th November 2020, 02:14 PM

Monster ALREADY discounted to 59p on iTunes. Shawn’s team are really scrambling for that top-ten hey?

Love the song regardless.

Posted by: *Callum 25th November 2020, 02:33 PM

If only there was some way for questions to be asked rhetorically...

Posted by: jsweetxe 25th November 2020, 03:19 PM

I don’t see Levitating going #1 at all. If Sweet Melody can’t reach it with how well its doing.. then there’s Ariana who doesn’t appear to be letting up as well as Billie and Mariah is going to steamroll her way through. Then the Christmas rush will knock everything out and even during the recovery I still don’t see it.

(plus I don’t like that particular song and I’m bitter hallucinate was paid dust nnnnn)

Posted by: Tafty 25th November 2020, 03:23 PM

'Hallucinate' really got the 'No More Sad Songs' treatment Still a huge hit, but not as big as it could/should have been - sandwiched between two bigger hits to "bridge the gap", as well as being top 3 of their best songs (for me anyway x)

Although had they solely focused on 'Hallucinate' and not bothered with that pointless remix album, I'm sure it'd have been a top 10 smash.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th November 2020, 03:29 PM

'Hallucinate' did exceptionally well for a post-album single without adding a feature and not having a proper video, and also minimal support on streaming platforms.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th November 2020, 04:37 PM

I don't think Hallucinate could have done anything more without greater HHUK support. It did well on sales which proved its appeal but the playlist support was too little, too late. Spotify are weird with post-album singles (if you're not Harry Styles).

(and I wouldn't say it was comparable to NMSS, which was a top 15 hit and had a new remix released + promoted...!)

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 25th November 2020, 05:27 PM

Levitating getting to #1 post-Christmas would be a dream

Posted by: Wall 25th November 2020, 05:31 PM

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 25th November 2020, 08:34 PM

I imagine she will especially after today!

Posted by: jsweetxe 25th November 2020, 08:39 PM

Probably. It’s Physical (and I Was Made for Lovin You) for me, and Gloria has a similar melody to Physical.

Any chance of LM overtaking Billie? Seems strange that they haven’t as they are ahead on all streaming platforms bar Spotify

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 25th November 2020, 08:42 PM

There’s the slimmest chance...

But highly doubtful.

It’s because Billie is 100k more streams on Spotify.

Dare I ask how far Paloma has fallen in the album charts? Is she still in the top 20?

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 25th November 2020, 09:16 PM

It's fallen outside the Top 40 unfortunately


#18

Posted by: Thomas 25th November 2020, 09:20 PM

Ohhh Dua around 200 sales from Wes! Can she push it to number 4 by Friday?!??

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th November 2020, 09:58 PM

Probably not seeing as he's overtaken her from yesterday

Posted by: Steve201 25th November 2020, 11:13 PM

Nice to see the top 5 on 10k+ already!

Why has Taylor not added another single to radio from the current album?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 26th November 2020, 09:12 AM

So on Itunes the McDonalds Xmas tune is way more popular than the John Lewis tune! how is the streaming ?

Posted by: Bjork 26th November 2020, 09:45 AM

the streaming is not very good, none are charting on Spotify
and on Apple both are low top 200

Posted by: Steve201 26th November 2020, 11:08 AM

'Forever Young' is low down on quite a few Apple playlists as far as I can see.

Kylie's a non-mover from yesterday; Ariana is #11, easily going to overtake Pink Floyd by tomorrow.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 26th November 2020, 12:29 PM

So annoying that Little Mix are still stuck at 3...

It’s amazing but it would have been so nice to see it reach a new peak.

Posted by: miichaelking21 26th November 2020, 01:21 PM

Confetti still Top 10?

Posted by: Cognizant 26th November 2020, 01:35 PM

Where is POV by Ariana?

Posted by: Wall 26th November 2020, 01:55 PM

Prisoner *.*

If only tate was on ACR, we could have got double miley at #6 and #7.

Posted by: Bré 26th November 2020, 02:14 PM

Billie pulling ahead at #2

What's with the sudden huge spike to a new peak today for Central Cee? Was it just very close between #34 and wherever it was before or did I miss it having a big rise in streams?

Posted by: danvember 26th November 2020, 02:21 PM

that Central Cee climb does seem very sus, it's seemingly had a big streaming boost but I'm not sure how, it hasn't gained that much on AM/Spotify recently. I've checked and there doesn't seem to be a new remix for it either so it's not that.

Posted by: Bré 26th November 2020, 02:24 PM

Forget Alexa Goulding and Alexa Glynne, Central Cee is confirmed to be Alexa's fave

Odd though xx

Posted by: danvember 26th November 2020, 02:24 PM

also, I wouldn't be surprised to see CJ replace BTS in the top 10, the song has been gaining lots all week. he surely will get there next week if not tomorrow anyhow (and if it's not him replacing BTS, it'll be KSI), CJ doing what Pop Smoke couldn't and getting US drill in the top 10.

Posted by: Bré 26th November 2020, 02:28 PM

Kind of here for 'Whoopty' making the top 10, it has been growing on me. Though I do find it kind of :') that it's become a big hit before anything by Fivio Foreign who it's a fairly blatant ripoff of lol ~

Posted by: Everton 26th November 2020, 02:35 PM

Is there any Christmas songs top 45 to 41

Posted by: Liam.k. 26th November 2020, 02:53 PM

Nope, Kelly Clarkson and Elton John's Christmas songs are Top 50 though.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 26th November 2020, 03:51 PM

Is Kylie 16-1 or 9+3??

Posted by: Sid_ 26th November 2020, 05:28 PM

Double Miley/Dua
'Whoopty' almost top 10
The xmas songs influx ewww

Posted by: Hadji 26th November 2020, 05:34 PM

Not even the Xmas effect can push BL out of the top 40

Posted by: Steve201 26th November 2020, 05:44 PM

I was thinking the same...

Posted by: Cognizant 26th November 2020, 06:03 PM

Do you think Santa Tell Me by Ariana might not get to enter the chart because of the three song rule? Positions, 34+35 and POV seem to be doing exceptionally well...

Posted by: Klumpkin 26th November 2020, 06:04 PM

I reckon Santa Tell Me will overtake POV unless the latter climbs any further. I reckon it'll hit the top 20 and possibly get a new peak (higher than #13).

Posted by: Liam.k. 26th November 2020, 06:26 PM

Christmas songs will have a huge leap in streams from 1st December (next Tuesday) but that might be a little too late in the week for 'Santa Tell Me' to overtake 'pov' in the official chart, assuming 'pov' continues to perform at a similar level to this week. Will probably overtake the week after (the week commencing 11th December).

FYI, 'Santa Tell Me' would be in the Top 40 in today's update if it was eligible.

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 26th November 2020, 08:59 PM

Crazy how much Life Goes On has fallen throughout the week, and also the BE album sales are really quite low compared to MOTS7. Though I guess that's what happens when you price CDs at £50!

Posted by: Bré 26th November 2020, 09:13 PM

'Life Goes On' is a ballad isn't it? Not surprising that wouldn't have the staying power during the week that a song like 'Dynamite' would, it's still coming to be possibly their 2nd highest peaking song which isn't bad going.

Posted by: M4NGO 26th November 2020, 10:16 PM

Is there a good reason the BTS CD is that pricy??

Posted by: Bré 26th November 2020, 10:22 PM

Extravagant packaging/extra stuff included with it I guess. Though not sure why they haven't made a cheaper version of it available as well.

Posted by: M4NGO 26th November 2020, 10:30 PM

They've definitely missed a trick by not doing that. I imagine there's a fair few of their fans who'd want to buy the album but can't afford the absurd prices they're charging.

Posted by: JustSnakeyHoney 26th November 2020, 10:57 PM

Whooptie has good production, its not quite as good as Pop Smoke Dior though imo. I am a fan of the drill production style in general it is energetic and has good basslines, hopefully this new popularity for US Drill will mean less of the, now boring imo, US trap sound.

Posted by: Steve201 27th November 2020, 12:09 AM

Probably because their mad stans will all pay up at that price and even if that’s a smaller amount they will still profit from it
