Hiya!

Super #1. Becky's cover is gorgeous though it hasn't quite grown on me as much as I'd expected.
Sweet Melody is fantastic so I'm glad to see it quite high here. I'd love for it to go even higher though.
Save Your Tears is alright but I'm bored of it after two weeks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi thanks for commenting!!

Yeh loving the Becky cover, it’s gonna be a challenger for Xmas number one by the looks of things but it might fade by then. The Weeknd and LM might have more progress before falling yet!

Hey there Steve!
Nice to see "Forever Young" at the top, the big gain for "Sweet Melody" in the top 10, also great to see "Save Your Tears", "All You're Dreaming Of" and "Winter Song"!
Great chart!

Thanks for commentating Serg! I think Liam is looking like the big challenger for Xmas number one this year but we shall see!

Hi Steve, great selection of songs there! 'Dynamite' sticks out like a sore thumb though, very pop compared to most of the rest of your chart. Nice to see a bit of McFly in there too with the wonderfully Beatles-esque 'Tonight Is The Night'

Is Declan releasing 'Rapture' as an official single?

Hey Mango! Thanks for commenting.

Yeh the BTS song isn’t really my kind of thing but it’s undeniably a great pop song and has been a song I’ve been humming a lot in the last few months so def deserves its belated recognition. My chart is like a cultural record so if it’s hit me at any stage I will chart it. It’s a bit like Little Mix, not my kind of music but SM is a great pop song and fair play to them at this stage of their career.

The McFly one has been growing on me when listening on radio 2 and yes sounds like the Beatles.

Think it was mentioned in the indie forum that ‘Rapture’ the next single from ‘Zeros’ but I added it to my on the go list as that’s how I listen to albums and really wanted to continue to listen to his album so added another song to my playlist. It’s also getting a lot of plays on Annie Macs show which is a good sign in terms of transferring onto the main daytime playlist from my experience.

Same with the Sea Girls song, it’s not a official single but I wanted it to be a hit on my PC as I love it so added it and then that will transfer into album plays for me too.

Hi Steve,

Pre-Xmas charts! Forever Young is nice, nice to see The Killers and Miley still doing so well, and a great batch from 14 through 17 inclusive, all great records!

Royal Blood old-fashioned rocks, and still sounds good loud in the car The Weeknd, celeste & London Grammar are all classy, TRavis, Michael K, Biffy all good, ditto Bruce, and I still love the Baccara cheesefest but havent needed to chart it much as it topped my charts back in the day

Great stuff
