Shocked and gutted New Rules isn't 59p.

Ffs not New Rules? Rain is awful that better not leapfrog Dua.
Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd August 2017, 11:08 PM
I'm not surprised New Rules isn't 59p, it's doing amazingly well without it!
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 3rd August 2017, 11:08 PM
Mama clearly at 59p to avoid ACR
Posted by: White Mustang 3rd August 2017, 11:10 PM
I think New Rules will be 59p next week.
Posted by: omrimayo 3rd August 2017, 11:19 PM
Rain will top iTunes soon u think, sad for Dua not getting discount, hoping for next week. Rain got it really really fast.
Posted by: *Tim 3rd August 2017, 11:23 PM
Why would her label reduce New Rules and miss out on potential revenue? It is doing incredible without it and it's still growing

Enrique, Sean and Matt Terry #2

It's better!!!
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 4th August 2017, 02:00 PM
It's on Hot Songs but Havana isn't.
Posted by: iain 4th August 2017, 02:21 PM
Neon Blue is up to 73, which isn't bad for a remix of an album track.
Posted by: pippa 4th August 2017, 02:27 PM
That is a great jump for Neon Blue by Steps as it was at number 425. If only they had promotion lined up it may have had a slight chance of a low top 100 entry.
Posted by: White Mustang 4th August 2017, 02:30 PM
Spotify exists.
Posted by: ElectroBoy 4th August 2017, 02:40 PM
I've heard Havana and sounds like a Rihanna song, Crying in the club was a rip off of Genie in a bottle - so does OMG rip off a successful female artist too?
Posted by: danG 4th August 2017, 02:46 PM
OMG sounds very much like urban Rihanna. She may as well imitate from the best though.
Posted by: Shaphne 4th August 2017, 02:47 PM
It's the next single, so not just an album track.
Posted by: ElectroBoy 4th August 2017, 02:55 PM
So the third set of songs to be released should be Britney inspired 😂
Posted by: RobBob 4th August 2017, 03:04 PM
Havana sounds more like Selena Gomez to me, but yes, seeing very little individuality from her as an artist. Just an average imitation of what other artists are doing and often doing better.
Posted by: Ryan. 4th August 2017, 03:13 PM
I get the lack of artistic identity comments for Crying in the Club and OMG, but I'm not sure I can imagine anyone else other than Camila singing Havana. The song obviously takes musical influences from her Cuban roots and her hometown of Havana, and it uses some instrumentation towards the end of the song that reminds me of ska-type music, a genre that originated in the Caribbean. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about ska/reggae/2 tone music but it feels like they do influence this song to me.
Even just the lyrics make it only a song Camila could do, but I can't say I've heard a song using the instrumentation Havana does for a long long time and that's because the majority of other artists don't have Caribbean roots, I can only think of Rihanna.
On the topic of the two singles, Havana has definitely had the better reaction - it was ahead in all major territories last night. Only now OMG is in Hot Songs is it beginning to reverse and that's a shame. At least they've seen sense and are pushing Havana on Spotify, but OMG is higher on the majority of other NMF playlists around Europe.
Posted by: Ryan. 4th August 2017, 03:19 PM
Interesting that Rain has stalled now, despite getting the added 59p promo as I thought it'd rocket into the top 3. It seems that the fact it has lost exposure from being on the first column of Hot Songs has negated any added effect, something that Enrique has completely made the most of now he's there instead.

Radio 1 b-list!
Posted by: Ryan. 4th August 2017, 05:27 PM
We could end up with Sorry Not Sorry fighting Instruction for that top 10 place that will become available with Little Mix starting to fade away! Although knowing our luck, Sorry Not Sorry will peak at #11 and Instruction at #12.

The Steps - Neon Blue (Adam Blue Radio Edit) is good! 
Its about time progressive house came back to the itunes chart!
142. Jaded - In The Morning .
I assume this is back because of being played on Radio 1 Greg James Dance Anthems apparently. Needs to be added to the daytime playlist soon, hoping it can be a bit like Icarus - King Kong in being added at a late stage to the R1 playlist.
Posted by: Steve201 4th August 2017, 07:55 PM
Remember in the heart of the download era when sales were much higher on iTunes and a new Jake Bugg release would break the top 10/20!
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 4th August 2017, 08:37 PM
My god people are such aheep ... or are we to believe those are the two best Spanish songs in recent years? What. A. Joke.

Wondered where you got tooThey are the most recent ones so have best chance of being popular but because you have a different taste to other you throw toys out of the pram if they don't agree with yours

6% crushing for Dua in one update 
and Of course Rain is above it now.
Posted by: Lenny 5th August 2017, 10:43 AM
Hope to see "Feels" taking the official number 1 this week. It's about time!
Posted by: BigMixer 5th August 2017, 10:46 AM
It would be cool to see Calvin peaking at #2 again, it'd be his 7th single that peaked at #2
Posted by: Lenny 5th August 2017, 10:55 AM
That would be cruel
"Bounce", "Feel So Close" and particularly "How Deep Is Your Love" would have made great number 1s
Posted by: danG 5th August 2017, 11:00 AM
Still annoyed that 'Drag Me Down' and 'Marvin Gaye' of all songs blocked 'How Deep Is Your Love' from #1. And I bet if we had fully transitioned to the OA/OS by then 'Marvin Gaye' wouldn't have gone anywhere near #1 so 'Deep' would have made it following 1D's dive (and stayed there for 3 weeks).
Posted by: Lenny 5th August 2017, 11:02 AM
Completely agree. It didn't take long for "Marvin Gaye" to show itself as some wet, cheesy, dreery blah to me!
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 5th August 2017, 11:48 AM
Big fall for New Rules :/
It needed to be 59p this week
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 5th August 2017, 11:53 AM
No waay did Marvin Gaye get to no.1!! Beaautiful song that buzzjack took a dislike to.
Hat Calvin one was one of his worst, just like Feels. I have no desre to listen to fish catching music - I am not a fisherman!!!!
It is too bad anyway, even if I wanted to listen to fishy music whilst reading Old Man and the Sea.
Come on Demiiii!! Weavesnatchin BOP of the summer!! Waay better than Despacito or Enrique but sheep like what the wolves tell them to like.
Posted by: Steve201 5th August 2017, 12:25 PM
Marvin Gaye got to no1 as it appeals to a broader audience than a dance track by Calvin - songs like that always peak at 2 but are bigger overall!!
How many no1s has Calvin had now? If even a few of the no2s peaked a place higher he would be nearly in double figures - wow!
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 5th August 2017, 12:27 PM
That makes him almost as big as the Spice Girls tbh
Posted by: lewistgreen 5th August 2017, 12:30 PM
It needed to be 59p this week
It's at #5...
Posted by: JosephStyles 5th August 2017, 12:48 PM
Yeah Dua's doing perfectly well, remember newer songs tend to stall at the weekend too.
Posted by: Slitherhisser 5th August 2017, 12:51 PM
It is too bad anyway, even if I wanted to listen to fishy music whilst reading Old Man and the Sea.
I genuinely thought Katy Perry in Feels sung 'Don't be afraid to catch fish' originally! Just thought it was a quirky line of lyrics to fit with the quirky song! I still wish it was 'fish' she was referring to rather than 'feels' though!
Posted by: Bjork 5th August 2017, 12:52 PM
Marvin gaye got to @1 cos it was not oaos unlike how deep
I reckon Marvin gaye its one of the worst recent @1s, sure one of the cheesiest
Posted by: Lenny 5th August 2017, 01:01 PM
I reckon Marvin gaye its one of the worst recent @1s, sure one of the cheesiest
The Fiat advert certainly helped it - I think it was highly trending before its actual release. Annoyingly one of those songs that is fairly regularly requested when DJing :/
Posted by: Karma 5th August 2017, 01:27 PM
Dua's streaming is amazing, rapidly going up! Future #1? I wouldn't write it off.
Posted by: T Boy 5th August 2017, 01:29 PM
I'm yet to see any reason why Dua Lipa doing well is a good thing.
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 5th August 2017, 01:46 PM
So glad New Rules is looking like a potential future #1.
Posted by: Karma 5th August 2017, 01:47 PM
Loveeee Dua right now. Her album is brilliant. New Rules is song of the moment for me.
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 5th August 2017, 01:50 PM
Good as it is great.
Posted by: 777666jason 5th August 2017, 01:52 PM
Well the video is a prom so makes sense
Posted by: cqmerqn 5th August 2017, 01:59 PM
Haven't come across anyone who dislikes New Rules
Posted by: Steve201 5th August 2017, 02:12 PM
Well TBoy above you is one!
Posted by: Lenny 5th August 2017, 02:19 PM
A prom? What's that got to do with it?
Posted by: T Boy 5th August 2017, 05:23 PM
Tbf I haven't heard New Rules yet so I don't yet dislike it. But I've heard Dua's other singles and they've been massively overrated on here imo. I don't think much of her as an artist.
Posted by: Jay ☆ 5th August 2017, 06:02 PM
You should listen to New Rules asap (via the music video), it's the song that has made a wider audience connect with her. It's fab!
Posted by: T Boy 5th August 2017, 06:29 PM
I have done now, and it's still not my cup of tea. I appreciate that may make me the odd one out but I don't really care.

French Montana and Maggie Lindemann definitely need to move on out of the Top 10 now to make way for Jax Jones and ALMA!
Posted by: Liаm 5th August 2017, 06:49 PM
ALMA can stay out, her voice goes right through me 
Posted by: BridgeCow 5th August 2017, 07:26 PM
Amazing to see Real Life climbing again, maybe it can actually make top 40 this week
Posted by: cqmerqn 5th August 2017, 08:29 PM
Oh wow, Feels coming for #1 this week then!
Posted by: Ryan. 5th August 2017, 08:30 PM
12. Jax Jones - Instruction (feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don)
Is top 10 finally going to happen? Let's just hope Despacito version two doesn't manage to pull out a gap now that's sneaked back into the top 10.
Posted by: Slitherhisser 5th August 2017, 08:44 PM
12. Jax Jones - Instruction (feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don)Hopefully this and Tom Zanetti/Karen Harding's More and More can become official top 10 hits this year so we can have some dance songs doing well in the charts that aren't tropical house/future bass. Also would like to see High Contrast - The Beat Don't Feel The Same go top 40 officially, but this is unlikely.
Dismayed to see that not great (imo) James Hype and Kelli Leigh sped up cover version of More Than Friends near the itunes top 40. Why couldn't Kelli Leigh's much better song with Watermat, Won't Stop had the itunes success?
Jaded - In The Morning seems to back on the rise too up to #125. This needs Radio 1 playlist/iTunes Hot Songs adding!
Posted by: lewistgreen 5th August 2017, 10:03 PM
Snakey, You mean Kelli-Leigh's track with Watermat right?
Posted by: cqmerqn 6th August 2017, 09:25 AM
I think Feels is headed for the official #1 this week.
Posted by: mdh 6th August 2017, 09:33 AM
And me, here's the daily stats atm...
Spotify:
Despacito - 510,000 / 300 = 1,700
Feels - 377,066 / 150 = 2,514
iTunes:
Despacito = 4,055
Feels = 3,711
OVERALL:
Despacito = 1,700 + 4,055 = 5,755
Feels = 2,514 + 3,711 = 6,255
Posted by: Alpha. 6th August 2017, 09:44 AM
Spotify:
Despacito - 510,000 / 300 = 1,700
Feels - 377,066 / 150 = 2,514
iTunes:
Despacito = 4,055
Feels = 3,711
OVERALL:
Despacito = 1,700 + 4,055 = 5,755
Feels = 2,514 + 3,711 = 6,255
I also think that Feels has a strong chance at #1 this week. I would treat those iTunes sales figures with some caution however, because we know that Despacito only sold 22k last week which works out at just over 3k a day on average
Posted by: mdh 6th August 2017, 09:50 AM
In that case, that helps Feels even more. Good.
Posted by: cqmerqn 6th August 2017, 09:52 AM
What's Wild Thoughts doing?
Posted by: Slitherhisser 6th August 2017, 09:57 AM
Edited. Yup thats what I meant, sorry got the two 'mats' confused. I am quite sure I have heard of another dance producer with 'mat' at the end of his name too!
Posted by: mdh 6th August 2017, 10:12 AM
At the moment these are my daily calculations based on iTunes and Spotify~
Feels - 6,255
Despacito - 5,755
Wild Thoughts - 4,606
New Rules - 4,519
Unforgettable - 4,039
Sun Comes Up - 4,002
SUBEME LA RADIO - 3,606
Posted by: Bjork 6th August 2017, 10:49 AM
Are you counting all 3 versions of
Unforgettable? Cos i have it much higher
But yes I also think Calvin will easily be @1
Posted by: BigMixer 6th August 2017, 11:00 AM
so Matt Terry is probably getting a top 10 this week? Great!!
Posted by: Ryan. 6th August 2017, 05:17 PM
Instruction up to #11 but Despacito has benefited from the top 10 effect and has pulled away

4. The Script - Rain
Posted by: gooddelta 7th August 2017, 10:27 AM
Kamaliya up to 24 and 76...
I'm not sure what her husband is trying to achieve here? No media outlet has passed comment on it and he's just ultimately wasting a load of money as nothing is happening officially.
He's obviously trickle buying more than a thousand copies every week at the moment, so why not just abandon the current pointless strategy and do a bulk purchase Sunday afternoon to ensure it goes top 10 for a bit and then the Big Top 40 show would have to play it, giving her a valuable radio play and maybe creating a bit more sensation, rather than it going completely unnoticed.
She keeps tweeting about 'climbing the charts' (sales chart that is) but I don't see how she can genuinely get any joy out of this, when nobody is actually buying the song to listen to it and she knows exactly what's going on.
Posted by: Lenny 7th August 2017, 10:59 AM
Again I ask, where is the proof this is happening? I keep reading this speculation here unless I'm missing something.

He's obviously trickle buying more than a thousand copies every week at the moment, so why not just abandon the current pointless strategy and do a bulk purchase Sunday afternoon to ensure it goes top 10 for a bit and then the Big Top 40 show would have to play it, giving her a valuable radio play and maybe creating a bit more sensation, rather than it going completely unnoticed.
She keeps tweeting about 'climbing the charts' (sales chart that is) but I don't see how she can genuinely get any joy out of this, when nobody is actually buying the song to listen to it and she knows exactly what's going on.
The problem is that the song isn't that great just a poppy version of the big room house style (in other words a bit like Neon Jungle - Braveheart in terms of style but not as good). I wish she would go 00s style eurodance with her next release, I am sure that nostalgic sound would get more people interested than than the style of Make Me Feel.
If the theories on here are right about the bulk buying, then targeting streaming rather than itunes, such as paying to get on the big streaming site playlists would be more effective I would think and probably cheaper too!
Yeah another thing doesn't make sense with the theory, if itunes chart manipulating bulk buying is taking place then why hasn't her husband arranged for the song to be made 59p?

21. Kamaliya - Make Me Feel
Posted by: gooddelta 7th August 2017, 11:26 AM
There's no proof but it's pretty obvious that some manipulation is happening here. Nobody has heard of the woman or the track yet she has been charting for weeks with a song that has just gone over 1,000 plays on Spotify. It's also been #1 on Ireland iTunes and her album is #5 there!
There were also reports last year of her husband bankrolling her career with a £20m cash injection, so he's not going to care how much it costs to hype her into the charts, it would only cost him a few thousand pounds but he'd have to do it discreetly, and have a large street team downloading it (which may well be happening), otherwise the OCC would see all the sales coming from the same IP address.
There's no logical explanation I can see for this other than arranged bulk buying, but if it turns out these are all legit sales then good on her, I'd love to know where her fanbase are! Every time she tweets she also gets lots of retweets and likes but never any replies, which I find quite bizarre too for a popstar with a supposed fanbase that keep buying her records that aren't played or promoted anywhere

It'd be interesting to know how he's doing it. I don't think it's even possible to pay for a download on iTunes more than once - it would tell you you already have it. So is he creating thousands of new accounts with different credit card numbers? But how?
Posted by: gooddelta 7th August 2017, 11:59 AM
I was thinking it must be a street team of some sort, with 1,000 or so people being paid to download the track every couple of days. But like you say, this would only be valid for one sale per account so it would have to be one hell of a huge team. It's genuinely bizarre, I have no idea how it's happening but would love to know - if it made the official chart there might be enough public interest for a Music Week reporter to look further into it, but she's got no chance of that short of being top 10 on iTunes all week.
Posted by: Liаm 7th August 2017, 12:03 PM
Omg at her still being high-ish!!!! I'd love to see how they do it too, ik in the past (I rememebr a song from the 90s mentioned on here that was looking to be a huge hit, got excluded because of suspected bulk sales but it turns out it was false and when the song was actually released again later it peaked low top 40 I think) there's been instances but ofc as you say we're not going to hear anything from Music Week unless she charts which in this climate isn't going to happen, so we'll have to keep scratching our heads

Posted by: AngelaKD 7th August 2017, 02:00 PM
Probably one of two ways: Gifting the song on iTunes or handing out pre-paid vouchers.
I'm not sure what the rules are about when gifted songs are counted, at purchase or redemption. Vouchers obviously would count at redemption.

There was a case like this in The Netherlands a while ago as well. An artist called B-Yentl was never played on radio, never did any promo but somehow managed to rack up a #8 peaking song that stayed in the chart for 67 weeks. She has 13 top 10 hits :/
We kept track of the songs and her updates were so sketchy, They always went bright green at a certain time

It's literally everywhere in Ibiza. I'm just hoping that it gets added to more Spotify playlists. I'm guessing it's in a similar situation to Solardo 'Tribsemen', I expected it to explode because I heard it everywhere but somehow It never impacted the charts.

Posted by: Ryan. 7th August 2017, 09:09 PM
Exceptional promo strategy from Jax's label there, should never have doubted them! 
Now we need Demi's other track to somehow climb into the top 10, surely there's a chance seeing as radio airplay is still relatively limited for Sorry Not Sorry?
Posted by: cqmerqn 7th August 2017, 09:38 PM
Demi on a roll. Good for her!
Posted by: White Mustang 7th August 2017, 09:39 PM
I really really hope they do it. It's always a bit less likely if the song is already doing really well though.
Posted by: cqmerqn 7th August 2017, 10:19 PM
Nice big gains for Instruction and Sorry Not Sorry in the latest update
Yeah but I'd like to think that they'll pull out all the stops for the #1. Funny really as the success of this song is completely unexpected. I doubt her label thought it'd be much more than a top 20.
Posted by: Lenny 7th August 2017, 11:06 PM
Making "New Rules" 59p will gain some sales but not enough for number 1 overall. Streaming is still massively key.
Posted by: Dexton 7th August 2017, 11:17 PM
Good thing is though that New Rules is safe from ACR from a while, whereas Despacito, Wild Thoughts, Feels, and Unforgettable are suffering/will likely suffer soon and move down the charts. Even if Dua can't get to #1 by her own merit via downloads and streaming there's still all the chance that she'll get pushed up (similar to how Wild Thoughts became #1). The Script is doing better on sales but there's no way in he'll Rain will go Top 5 (or even Top 10) in streaming. Sun Comes Up is Duas only real competition at the moment but I doubt it'll outpeak New Rules.
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 8th August 2017, 02:22 AM
This thread is like being in The Saturday's forum where we used to discuss that their single needs to be discounted asap. If 'SUBEME LA RADIO' is discounted to 59p then I'm sure that should manage to be the next number one, incredibly surprised to see Matt Terry looking likely of getting another top five hit! I heard it for the first time today and surprisingly loved it.
145. Camelphat & Elderbrook - Cola
Posted by: omrimayo 8th August 2017, 04:43 AM

Dua is doing really well on streaming (Spotify) though. In the last 7 days she's increased by around 60,000 whereas Feels and Despacito have both decreased. If this continues she could easily get no 1 on streaming..
Posted by: Karma 8th August 2017, 09:21 AM
Imo not sure New Rules needs to be 59p right now, maybe a few weeks but this is climbing really well at full price so i wouldn't action that just yet.
Posted by: John-James 8th August 2017, 09:26 AM
It's more so to help speed it up because a big single could drop any week. I'd hate for it meet the same fate as 'Human'
Posted by: omrimayo 8th August 2017, 09:55 AM
Like I said - New Rules is now number 4 on Spotify just passing Feels, So it she can really rise up with a discount she can do it next week if Feels can do it this week, And she's only 50K less than first place and she has the newest song out of them.
Posted by: White Mustang 8th August 2017, 10:14 AM
Yeah, if she does discount it, which I'm not sure about...I think it'll be a big #1 contender.

So true, would be a very nice #1. I think she can get to #1 without the price drop to be honest but obviously it would help speed it up.
Subeme La Radio would also be a nice #1 - but that may take a few weeks and really needs streaming on Spotify to pick up.

about Avicii - does anyone know if there'll be a song that's pushed as a single? Otherwise, it'll all be a bit messy for him.

If the Rita Ora one gets an instant Spotify and iTunes Hot Songs push I suppose it could realistically debut top 50 and eventually make its way in the top 10.

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th August 2017, 10:52 PM
It's hard to call Avicii's success at this point, because we don't know if any song will be pushed as a single instantly, and if one is picked, which one it'll be. The Rita song could gain some traction I guess! I wouldn't expect massive things just yet though, I'm not sure he's quite *that* big a name to debut too high (but maybe I'll be wrong, time/amount of support will tell!)

I actually hope The Script go #1 on iTunes despite it being disgusting because it might lead to some red updates for Feels without the #1 exposure

I would welcome an iTunes number one for the Script, i love the song.

Anyway Rain was probably created months ago
Posted by: Capybréra 9th August 2017, 10:11 PM
I don't see why people are surprised at The Script getting another hit, did y'all forget their last album was a #1 and had a top 3 lead single as well xx 'Rain' does sound like an obvious hit single too.
I've never even heard of the Glen Campbell track in the top 10! I do of course know 'Rhinestone Cowboy' though. Not really my thing but RIP to Glen of course.

Anyway, the UK are clearly loving it as it's #2 and on the brink of #1!
Glen Campbell has a lot of songs in which you don't quite realise were him, but you'd know if you heard them sort of thing. 'Southern Nights' is pretty great! It's use in the new 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie in particular

Why the gender remark??
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 03:13 PM
Because it's an interesting topic sometimes, there's a lot of different standards in life for women and men, and it's often represented in music too.
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 03:18 PM
So would I be right in saying that LM only get hits because of their looks??
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 03:18 PM
No
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 03:25 PM
I'm not a fan of the Script song but my point is that quality is objective and it's highly offensive to suggest it's no1 simply because it's by a male artist even if genders are treated different or by differing standards, that's not The Scripts fault!
Posted by: blacksquare 10th August 2017, 03:38 PM
Highly offensive
For pointing out that men often have it easier, especially in 2017 where men have dominated the charts?
Sure
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 03:43 PM
My point is that that isn't the Scripts fault and quality is an objective thing at any rate!
Posted by: T Boy 10th August 2017, 03:47 PM
I think it's a bit much to claim that male domination in the charts is some sort of social agenda against women. In the 00s there were a few periods where females truly dominated and we went weeks without seeing a man at the top. This is just the way things go. Little Mix don't seem to be very held back by anything and I fully expect to see them at no.1 again this Autumn when they launch a new album. Pink seems to be doing well initially. Adele would easily be successful if she released a new single next week. Taylor Swift will be huge, Beyoncé would have a string of long running hits if she was on Spotify, ditto Rihanna. Heck, even Dua Lipa is being talked about as a potential no.1. I really don't think it's healthy to be separating everyone by gender or making outlandish comments about the general public's music taste being sexist.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th August 2017, 03:57 PM
This was all started off by a complete idiot making a mindless sweeping generalisation that we'd (Buzzjack as a collective whole) be lapping it up if it was by a female act (like Little Mix). I for one can quite confidently say I wouldn't.
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 03:57 PM
Great to see P!nk at no1 - hopefully she can follow suit officially too - a true chart legend longevity wise.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th August 2017, 03:58 PM
Super made up for P!nk, I admire her so much for being one of the very few acts of the era she began to remain as relevant. I hope she can go on to keep it beyond this era too.
Posted by: Dexton 10th August 2017, 03:59 PM
Not to push anyone's buttons, but...
Male artists have generally "dominated" the chart this year simply due to a lack of female competition. Or at least good quality female competition. Lady Gaga, Fifth Harmony, and Katy Perry have all had several hit songs before this year yet their comebacks were either too trend chasing, too repetitive, or too crappy. Little Mix, Maggie Linndemann, and Rita Ora have done well but none of their songs were particularly outstanding or groundbreaking. Zara Larsson had a #1 song though so it's not like female acts have been completely ignored so far this year.
I'm not saying that female artists can't make good songs anymore, there just wasn't a great influx of them earlier this year. Hopefully now with Dua Lipa slaying, Pink returning with a brilliant song, and a Taylor Swift comeback on the horizon, female acts will start to pick up steam in Q3/Q4
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 03:59 PM
I maybe should have had the gumption to ignore it as it may have been said in a particular way but as a male I think it's a nonsense comment - T Boy articulated my view so much better than I could tho!
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 04:01 PM
If Carly sang it it would be an outstanding song.
Posted by: Liаm 10th August 2017, 04:02 PM
It's not gender or the act, it's just the public being lazy and lapping up an easy hit similar to Shape Of You rather than broadening their horizons and listening to something different or branching out. It's getting ridiciulous now, Shape Of You and Chainsmokers clones flood the charts because they're what radio and Spotify feed the masses. Each to their own of course but it's getting ridiculous that absolute shit like Despacito can be #1 for months on end, and anything that pertains to a certain trend is an automatic top 10.
Posted by: Shaphne 10th August 2017, 04:02 PM
Don't forget the Queen of Clubs, weaves are NOT SAFE
Posted by: Liаm 10th August 2017, 04:04 PM
Carly Rae wouldn't touch it with a barge pole so it's a moot point. Get over it, people don't like the song, it is hideously dull and uninspired, they are free to do so. That is nothing to do with who they do and don't like aside from The Script......
Posted by: Jonjo 10th August 2017, 04:05 PM
I meant that I find the Script song really lazy and really MOR (trying to avoid the word "bland" because I understand that's my own opinion haha) and I honestly couldn't see any of the big pop girls that are around atm being able to get a hit with it beyond it's initial "hype" boost. I feel like (especially nowadays) female popstars have to work much harder to get hits and if they ended up doing a song as empty or as MOR as 'Rain' they'd be considered a joke and it'd be "career suicide" and radio wouldn't go near it as much as they have done with The Script.
Obviously this is all just my own opinion and I understand we go through stages and phases in the charts!
Also, I don't mind The Script usually and I have their first two albums, so I'm not "a random hater" haha.
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 04:09 PM

Oh I get your point. The Script song is DREADFUL, and this is from someone who, not exactly a fan, but never minded them previously. But this is a music style certain people like and not one where there is ever a female equivalent.
Still, Pink showing all the girls how it's done

Technically Sia although she had one hit in 2000 then not much until Titanium apart from Breathe Me getting to like #96 It's astounding how Pink is still getting consistent hits nearly 20 years on!

Loving the P!nk song (not that I wouldn't) and I'm both shocked and delighted to see it at No. 1 so quickly it would be amazing if she could somehow get another official #1 with it! Hopefully she's got some good promo lined up, obviously she's headlining V and there's a chance R1 could give it an insta-add tomorrow...

I don't know how the chart even works anymore, seems v mathematical, so I can't begin to predict how pink will do. I'm guessing she won't get anywhere near no.1 because we're only allowed, like, 7 of those per year now.
Posted by: mdh 10th August 2017, 06:03 PM
but from your perspective does it look unreasonable or do you reckon it'll end up similar to that?

I really, really hope that Pink doesn't lose out too much by releasing on a Thursday, I feel like it could harm her :/
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th August 2017, 06:05 PM
It doesn't look unreasonable at all tbh! Power is surely on its way out anyway, and providing it doesn't increase this week, Mama will be onto ACR next week. Sales in general are quite low on both Spotify and iTunes so hopefully P!nk, The Script and Louis can take advantage of this
Posted by: John-James 10th August 2017, 06:06 PM
I can see What About Us performing like The Cure
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 06:15 PM
Mama was 59p this week so it'll probably increase on tomorrow's chart.
I doubt it'll perform like The Cure, she won't full as drastically as Gaga (not that she did anyway) because she'll have instant radio support whereas it took a while for The Cure to get radio as they weren't too keen!

Mama's actually down 5.9% week-on-week as of today's mids, despite the discount!
Posted by: Mart!n 10th August 2017, 06:22 PM
I wonder if those Glen Campbell tracks will stick around next week, there is a docu tomorrow night on BBC4

I've said it before but P!nk being underappreciated/overlooked has actually helped her to have consistent success as there's less pressure on the need to succeed. Take Katy/Lady Gaga as examples, there was so much focus on them that it meant that one wrong move really harmed/is harming their careers.
Posted by: BridgeCow 10th August 2017, 06:29 PM
This is really true, I feel like P!nk could have a flop single and be completely unaffected by it whereas the same can't be said for the likes of Katy Perry etc...

01. P!nk - What About Us 05. Liam Gallagher - For What It’s Worth 40. Stefflon Don & French Montana - Hurtin' Me 46. Fifth Harmony - Angel 73. Avicii - Without You (feat. Sandro Cavazza) 261. Avicii - Lonely Together (feat. Rita Ora)

That's surprising
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th August 2017, 06:50 PM
Maybe in some way being the underdog (if you will) and not having the primary focus in a way has enabled her to keep the sustained success that she has?
*edit - also seen someone else made the exact same point above.

Suppose this far into its chart run 59p doesn't have as much effect?
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 07:06 PM
It went from 28 to 14!
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 07:34 PM
It really does. I mean, I know sales are a lot less than they use to be, but it can really give some songs an edge, Power went from #10 to #6 for example, Symphony managed to sneak in at #1, Rita Ora had much better longevity,
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 07:38 PM
I always thought it was like a live performance of an already established track which would have minimal effect. Suppose it would help to garner more sales!
Posted by: Jordan Lee 10th August 2017, 07:50 PM
YESSSSS! So gutted P!nk didn't release tomorrow so she'd get a full week for her debut but so happy to see she's #1! Really different sounding track for her but so so good! I can't help but think it sounds like something else but I don't know what yet!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th August 2017, 07:54 PM
I'm quite surprised to see P!nk at #1 with a fast growing lead.
Where did 'Just Like Fire' peak on iTunes?
Posted by: Steve201 10th August 2017, 07:55 PM
I think Pink could be no1 next week depending on streams with the low sales we have at present!
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 07:56 PM
Top 5 uncombined
Pink 1.000
Calvin Harris / Katy 0.6180
The Script 0.5961
Dua Lipa 0.5613
Liam Gallagher 0.5450

Amazing comeback from Pink. I hope she nabs another #1. Coming back with another SW/BMOLK type track wouldn't have worked.
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 10:19 PM
Blimey, Pink has pushed Feels down to 0.52.
New Rules at 0.48.
Posted by: BridgeCow 10th August 2017, 10:23 PM
43. Avicii - Without You ft. Sandro Cavazza 125. Avicii - Lonely Together ft. Rita Ora
Posted by: Lenny 10th August 2017, 10:23 PM
Far too soon to say. Could yet perform similarly to "The Cure".
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 10:24 PM
Pink doesn't seem to be doing as well in the US.
Just thinking... it's so rare that a female approaching 40 does well in the charts. I reckon it has an insta-add on R1 too.
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th August 2017, 10:27 PM
Insane for P!nk I don't think she'll fall as quickly as Gaga because she's less of a fanbase act, although it will of course struggle to keep such a lead. A top 5 debut for her would be amazing!
Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 10:30 PM
I think she will be top 3.
Wonder why she isn't doing as good in the US
Posted by: White Mustang 10th August 2017, 10:33 PM
I can see Pink falling quite fast when the weekend properly hits. She's managing this lead on a slow week with very low sales. I can see her debuting between 8 - 12 realistically, which is still a very good start!
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th August 2017, 10:42 PM
I think even bearing in mind the low sales, nobody expected this! It's really impressive I'd say.
