Quite a lot going on in the chart this week! Meghan Trainor releases her sophomore album Thank You and Kygo releases his debut 'Cloud Nine', with Radiohead, Beyonce and Drake all looking to continue on with high sales.

As far as singles go, it's getting rather crowded, Reggie 'N' Bollie should make the top 40 with their first ever single 'New Girl' and David Guetta releases the euro(football, not vision) theme, which features Zara Larsson. OneRepbublic, The Stone Roses and Gareth Malone and the Choir also have big new releases. Not to forget that we have Eurovision this week, which always has an effect on the chart. How many of this year's acts will make the top 40? Will any of these make the top 10?

Posted by: cqmerqn 14th May 2016, 10:36 AM

Kygo will make the top 5 for sure, especially with streaming.

I think Meghan will underperform, perhaps a top ten debut?

Singles wise, RnB should make the top 40 but streaming will damage their position a lot I think.
OneRepublic will debut outside of the top 40 unfortunately.

Streaming will definitely keep a lot of Eurovision acts out of the top 40 for sure. I'm starting to wonder if any actually make the top 40 to be honest..

Posted by: liamk97 14th May 2016, 10:42 AM

When we have three albums in the Top 10 selling only on downloads and streams, another (Skepta) relying mostly on downloads and streams, and the fact most of said info will be missing from the Saturday update, Meghan "at #2 with 2.5k" is very misleading.

Posted by: cqmerqn 14th May 2016, 10:44 AM

Does anyone know if Kygo's album is available on CD? I couldn't find it in HMV yesterday...

Posted by: Regina 14th May 2016, 10:47 AM

Jennifer Nettles for shock #1 pls.

Posted by: cqmerqn 14th May 2016, 10:49 AM

Thanks, going to have to order it! Cracking album

Posted by: Hadji 14th May 2016, 11:05 AM

It's even on sale in Tesco. Not sure about Sainsbury's or Asda though

Posted by: Dobbo 14th May 2016, 11:30 AM

So HMV consider Kygo a "metal" act huh? That genre has certainly changed over the years...

Drake to remain at #1, don't want Calvin nor Justin taking it. All of the potential Eurovision entries to flop (especially that awful Frans track), David Guetta & OneRepublic to also flop and Reggie N Bollie to absolutely smash

Posted by: timjimlee 14th May 2016, 11:43 AM

Beyoncé to return to number 1 in Album chart as Sales of new releases are low?

Posted by: Hassaan 14th May 2016, 11:53 AM

Gareth Malone's choir seems to be doing well on iTunes but it'd have to shift well over 100,000 to be in with a shot of becoming the official #1, but it might only need 60-70,000 to make it on sales alone. Given that all it got was a passing mention on the documentary itself it's doing well.

Reggie 'N' Bollie I think are set for the top 5. I personally would like to see the paid-for sales a lot higher than they have been previously - I know streaming shows us which songs are most popular, but Adele managed 250k downloads and 73k streams so both can be done.

Posted by: Mart!n 14th May 2016, 11:54 AM

Kygo's album have seen it advertised in the ad breaks on TV, the album should do well.

Justin could take the #1 single, his performance is going to be late probably around 10:15pm (ish) just before the Eurovision results

Posted by: liamk97 14th May 2016, 12:09 PM

Seems like it will be between her and Drake, with the latter putting his album on Spotify. I suspect Radiohead will keep up their tradition of having huge second week % falls so will pose little threat of holding onto the #1 spot.

Posted by: Hadji 14th May 2016, 02:22 PM

I want Kygo for #1 album and Calvin or JT for #1 single

Posted by: Andr00w 14th May 2016, 02:44 PM

Sadly I think Meghan will end up between #5-#10, there doesn't seem to much momentum with the album!

Posted by: slowdown73 14th May 2016, 04:52 PM

I suspect Nathan Skyes could miss the top40. He is only low 20s on iTunes.

Posted by: Hadji 14th May 2016, 05:12 PM

He needs a major label

Posted by: Joe. 14th May 2016, 05:16 PM

His label automatically gets him strong airplay on both Heart and Capital, even the biggest labels can't always get that. And let's not forget they're really good for promo, he performed on X Factor last year.

The material isn't good enough, people aren't interested.

Posted by: LushLife 14th May 2016, 05:49 PM

Actually gutted that Meghan could open with less than 15,000 considering the amount of promo and success of 'Title', I know 'No' and 'Me Too' have had nowhere near the success of 'All About That Bass' and 'Lips R Moving', I thought she had a strong enough fanbase to debut top two so I'm actually rather sad as her songs are a major improvement from her last campaign.

Posted by: Rob Spears 14th May 2016, 05:50 PM

Does she really have a fanbase? Serious question

Posted by: Joe. 14th May 2016, 05:55 PM

I honestly believe Meghan has some sales missing. As pleased as I'd be to see her flop, I think 2.5k is incredibly unrealistic.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 14th May 2016, 05:58 PM

I wonder if iTunes have been late reporting data again?

Posted by: dandy* 14th May 2016, 08:25 PM

I hope Radiohead manage to hold the #1 this week, staying ahead on iTunes is a good start.

Posted by: Steve201 14th May 2016, 08:47 PM

It's still ahead on iTunes because it's only been on sale since Sunday so is still in its first week technically !

Posted by: cqmerqn 14th May 2016, 11:56 PM

Kygo - Raging (ft. Kodaline)

Could this reach the top 40?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 15th May 2016, 09:24 AM

From @MintRoyale

As usual- streams missing from Saturday so pinch of salt etc. I'd say JT could get #2 from Calvin if his sales hold up.

Posted by: Rob Spears 15th May 2016, 09:27 AM

Justin for #1!

Posted by: Lomadz 15th May 2016, 09:34 AM

Would be great for JT to get to no1 although Drakes streaming is still strong so think he will take it again.

Either way it's a strong top 3 for me. Unless something comes along out of the blue I can see the top 3 remaining as it is for another 2-3 weeks.

Posted by: Rob Spears 15th May 2016, 09:37 AM

Unfortunately Drake is selling 5k more in steams a day than Justin and 2.5k more than Calvin. Downloads are so poor at the moment I don't think it will be enough to keep him off #1 this week.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th May 2016, 09:38 AM

Come on Drake & streaming

Posted by: Doctor Blind 15th May 2016, 09:44 AM

From the midweeks last week when effectively only daily streaming data was included (Apple failed to report on Wednesday AND Thursday last week), JT was doing around 4K/day, Calvin and Rihanna around 7.5K/day and Drake 11 K/day. Not sure how much that will change this week, but you can see Justin needs about a 70K lead on download sales to be in with a chance of beating Drake.

Posted by: Mart!n 15th May 2016, 09:54 AM

I've had enough of Drake is he going for a record or something, I can't see anything toppling him from the top if JT and Calvin don't do it.

Posted by: Steve201 15th May 2016, 10:52 AM

We are on week 5 of his no1 stint and he's still streaming 800k times a day :0!

Posted by: Dobbo 15th May 2016, 11:11 AM

More than that! He's getting 8M a week so over 1M a day, crazy numbers.

Posted by: Steve201 15th May 2016, 11:25 AM

I know could be no1 for 8/9 weeks which is crazy long for the uk. Even if Justin gets no1 or anything else drake will retake it a week after!

Posted by: mdh🏠 15th May 2016, 11:27 AM

Drake could look to beat Umbrella's 21st Century record.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 15th May 2016, 11:28 AM

It is slowing down, he was averaging nearly 1.3 million streams/day the week before, and this week that dropped to 1.2 million/day.

We are going to have to get used to this slower turnover - there were only 13 different tracks at the top of http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=168351.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th May 2016, 11:29 AM

I'm fairly confident, as per the latest mantra these days, the next #1 will be something we haven't heard yet

Something WILL come out of nowhere. It always does.

Posted by: danG 15th May 2016, 11:33 AM

I don't think Drake will quite outdo the Umbrella record, Justin Timberlake could eventually make #1 in a few weeks.

Posted by: Steve201 15th May 2016, 11:35 AM

Yeh true the same was the case before drake - we were expecting Sia to be no1 with 65k sales before he came out of nowhere!

Posted by: Rob Spears 15th May 2016, 12:02 PM

Britney says hi!

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 15th May 2016, 12:07 PM

Posted by: mowino 15th May 2016, 12:37 PM

Could the Top 3 sell +100k this week?

Posted by: 360Jupiter 15th May 2016, 10:08 PM

I'm still baffled by the Drake success. I would not have said this time last year that Drake was an artist with a huge fanbase in the UK.

Technically this should be "Complete Music" shouldn't it as title is different to original Release of "Music Complete" ?
I guess it doesn't matter as they have included the original Album as well as the Remixes.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 16th May 2016, 05:04 PM

These mids look almost too good to be true - missing streaming must play a part Shawn top 40, Frans almost top 40, Little Mix top 10 and Drake off #1. I predict that none of these will happen come Friday :')

I've got no idea but it's listed as a re-entry under Music Complete on the OCC website.

Posted by: Mart!n 16th May 2016, 05:14 PM

Is it me, there seems to be a huge chunk of sales missing, I expected Calvin higher than 33k surely, hard to tell. Joe and Jake seem to be too high. Even Stone Roses managed top 4, I expected them to be far lower.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 16th May 2016, 05:19 PM

Really hope JT can hold on, but I doubt Drake can be caught just yet, argh, can't quite believe this'll be it's sixth week, it doesn't feel that long somehow. Hope Stones Roses can make the play zone at least, would be quite something hearing Radio 1 play that!

Very surprised (but glad) Kygo's outselling Meghan Trainor Didn't see that one coming at all.

Posted by: Jake. 16th May 2016, 05:21 PM

The OCC must be combining 'Music Complete' with 'Complete Music' then... That's interesting. Then again, 'Complete Music' has the same track-listing spread across two discs (albeit containing extended mixes in place of the originals). Perhaps it has something to do with the fact it comes with a download code for the original album?

Posted by: cqmerqn 16th May 2016, 05:48 PM

So happy to see Kygo at number three!!

Posted by: danG 16th May 2016, 06:12 PM

Radio 1's 'chart contender' from last week [OneRepublic] only at #51 in the mids tho

It does indeed look as if some streaming is missing though.

Posted by: Hadji 16th May 2016, 06:19 PM

Would be better seeing him at #1. Surprised people wanna spend £14 on Beyoncé's album

Posted by: Joe. 16th May 2016, 06:22 PM

It's £12 in stores, and a highly critically acclaimed album. Why are you surprised?

Posted by: FleetSeb 16th May 2016, 06:25 PM

Beyonce and JT staying at number 1 for the rest of the week would be great, but with Calvin and Drake's superior streaming I'm not hopeful.

Posted by: MishaB 16th May 2016, 07:09 PM

Honestly, Bey haters seem to lose all common sense when talking about her. It really is something to behold.

Why are people willing to spend £14 on the most critically acclaimed album of the year, that comes with a very big budget film to go with it? I mean, really? Just baffling.

Posted by: SKOB 16th May 2016, 07:18 PM

I wonder who listens to music in the first place, they must be crazy..

Posted by: Doctor Blind 16th May 2016, 07:26 PM

Not sure how much data is missing, but here's how they've changed from last week, and my projections for Friday.

01 Drake −19% 99,964
02 Justin Timberlake +38% 97,139
03 Rihanna/Calvin −15% 93,619

Posted by: Ethan 16th May 2016, 07:28 PM

there must be a fair chunk of streaming data missing (2 days seems par for the course on mondays these days~) in which case drake has an easy 6th week on lock, while on the albums drake and kygo are likely to be rather closer to beyoncé ~ could be a close call!

Posted by: cqmerqn 16th May 2016, 07:34 PM

If streams are missing, then I could see Drake getting the top spot with Kygo advancing to 2.

I guess it will be a close one..

Posted by: JCM20 16th May 2016, 08:06 PM

Not at all. Even James Arthur has more Twitter followers than Meghan Trainor.

Posted by: omrimayo 16th May 2016, 09:07 PM

It will be so close but Drake doesn't slow down on streaming, I don't get it. So he will sell 60% more than him and still will lose.

Actually on iTunes Justin Timberlake is selling 133% more than Drake (i.e 2.3 times more), however this is reversed on streaming (Drake is streaming roughly 2.3 times more than JT) - and because streaming currently has somewhere between 70-80% contribution to total 'chart sales' (even in the Top 10) the lead on downloads is fairly irrelevant.

Joe & Jake coming for that #89 peak this week then...

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 12:29 AM

OK I know there's data missing and streaming to factor in etc. and it will be far lower come Friday... but for The Stone Roses to even show up at No. 4 in this day and age is pretty incredible!

Is the Manics' Wales football song out this week?

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 08:45 AM

Yeah, it's just not doing very well.

Posted by: timjimlee 17th May 2016, 08:53 AM

CD single has been doing well on Pre-order to be fair though (and that's not released until 3rd June).
This song will probably peak just before Euros start on June 10th (when optimism levels are still high).

Posted by: SKOB 17th May 2016, 09:29 AM

You must have a high level of optimism if you think that Manics song could do well on charts in 2016

Posted by: timjimlee 17th May 2016, 09:38 AM

The optimism levels was referring to Wales' chances in the Euros.

Wales have waited 58 years to compete in a major Tournament, I suspect the fans will be getting behind them in a big way!

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 10:47 AM

I think that's a similarly ridiculous level of optimism tbh

Posted by: SKOB 17th May 2016, 10:51 AM

Yeah, however, I must say I'd be very delighted if Wales did well and Manics somehow reached top 40

Posted by: timjimlee 17th May 2016, 11:00 AM

One of their recent Singles was "Anthem For A Lost Cause" (got to number 200 in 2013), may be they should have just re-released that under the banner of "Official Single"

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 11:05 AM

Lol, and the B-side could be a re-release of 'From Despair To Where' from 1993

£14 in HMV

Posted by: liamk97 17th May 2016, 12:59 PM

Looks like Kygo could actually be safe for #3! Beyonce and Drake should be over 20k too.

Posted by: Joe. 17th May 2016, 01:04 PM

Meghan only sold 900 copies yesterday, but could still scrape the top 5 if she's lucky.

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 01:06 PM

JT running away with it good to see The Stone Roses still in the Top 5, I wonder if there's any chance they could still finish Top 10 on Friday? At least Top 20 should be certain.

Posted by: Joe. 17th May 2016, 01:11 PM

Highly unlikely to stay top 10, it sold a fraction of what the rest of the top 20 sold yesterday, and that's without Saturday streaming being taken into account.

Posted by: Hadji 17th May 2016, 01:29 PM

Shame JT won't be official #1. Poor RnB looking like they'll miss the top 20. Shame they won't outpeak Louisa. I was wanting them to follow the tradition where the runner-up does better than the winner. The last time this failed to happen was 2013

Posted by: Steve201 17th May 2016, 01:33 PM

Stone Roses should break the top 15 by their decreasing sales it should sell around 25-29k!

On the Manics, if Wales do well they will do just fine with their song and as the build-up to the tournament gets closer it could well rise - doesnt really matter if its the manics, its the football thatll make it rise.

Posted by: Robbie 17th May 2016, 01:50 PM

Spotify were also unable to provide streaming data for last Saturday. Very strange. I wonder what the problem is?

Posted by: Joe. 17th May 2016, 01:51 PM

Louisa hasn't released anything yet beyond that cover. And RnB will peak after their inevitable BGT final performance and increasing airplay.

Posted by: Lomadz 17th May 2016, 02:36 PM

With JT releasing his video today is there any way he could make it officially.

Still haven't listened to R&B yet

Posted by: Dobbo 17th May 2016, 03:09 PM

Urgh I really hope the video release doesn't secure JT of #1! 6 weeks for Drake please

Good to see Stone Roses will surely make the play zone & good start for RnB.

Desiigner will be top 10 this Friday

Posted by: Hadji 17th May 2016, 03:42 PM

There's no mention of RnB performing on the BGT final

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 17th May 2016, 03:55 PM

I'd hardly think it a devasting loss to the Top 20 if RnB aren't there.....

Posted by: dj_tim_e 17th May 2016, 05:45 PM

If you download tracks to play offline on streaming services (im using deezer) do the plays count towards the chart as streams or downloads seeing as theyre not technically permanent?

Posted by: JCM20 17th May 2016, 07:42 PM

I wonder if Busted's albums might make it back into the nether regions of the top 100 with their tour now in full swing

Posted by: Hassaan 17th May 2016, 08:17 PM

Why not? I imagine the streaming will be huge but I can't see much overtaking it on sales. Maybe the choir may come close on sales.

As far as the X Factor Class of 2013 is concerned, the runner-up (Nicholas) released a single which went to #73. Sam didn't release a single but she did manage a #1 album, while Nicholas managed #6. Maybe Reggie N Bollie will end up being a slow-burner?

Posted by: Ethan 17th May 2016, 08:54 PM

offline plays are counted as streams~

!!! this has done so well !!

if the OCC/Spotify don't get their crap together it will play to Justin's benefit and he will surely snatch number one??? although I assume the Spotify data will be added and Drake will get it for a sixth week.

Posted by: Hadji 17th May 2016, 09:23 PM

I can see Gnash going top 40 on Friday as he's just done a massive climb to #29 on iTunes

Posted by: Mango 17th May 2016, 09:55 PM

Really? It obviously can't send the play count in real time though, what if someone's playing songs offline and remains offline for a week? Will they count towards the chart once they reconnect to the spotify server a week later? I realise that's probably a far-fetched scenario but I think it's a valid question.

Posted by: dj_tim_e 18th May 2016, 12:36 PM

Huge amounts of streaming data seems to have been added in, including possibly yesterdays. Seeing as JT has such a big iTunes lead, he could take the #1 now, it'll be close!

Sorry it's a rushed update, Liam is going to tidy/compete!

Posted by: liamk97 18th May 2016, 01:07 PM

Update complete. Yes that is Kanye West's album appearing at the bottom of the Top 40, don't know if it is meant to be there or if it is an error.

Posted by: Hadji 18th May 2016, 01:20 PM

Kygo could go top 40 on Friday, so could Gnash

Posted by: Karma 18th May 2016, 01:27 PM

Come on JT!!!!

Posted by: timjimlee 18th May 2016, 01:29 PM

Yes , looks like he will need a bit of help to make Overall number 1 this week - looking like Drake will get there now!

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 01:31 PM

I'm not really sure. I think JT could possibly clinch it now that the majority of streaming for the week is added. Either way, it's looking to be very close.

Posted by: Jason 18th May 2016, 01:34 PM

Where's gnash please?

Posted by: Hadji 18th May 2016, 01:42 PM

Shame RnB will miss the playzone despite being top 5 on iTunes

Posted by: 777666jason 18th May 2016, 01:47 PM

Will be a bit bitter sweet if Justin Timberlake gets number 1 because it would knocked drake off but it would be at lower sales than Calvin/ rihanna the last couple of weeksif only they had released 2 weeks later guess they will have to settle for being one of best selling number 2

The JT track is awesome too tho

Also just noticed if wasn't for those 3 surprise releases Sis would have been 6 weeksat number 1

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 01:49 PM

I can't believe that JT is gonna miss it for like 2K MAX and having a 60% lead for a week! His streaming numbers are fine, he's top 3 but you can't compare with 800K EVERY SINGLE DAY! It's wrong

Posted by: Mango 18th May 2016, 02:34 PM

That's crazy that Sia would have got a 6 week Number 1 without three surprise releases! Then again, a lot of the big hits these days are surprise releases, it's the way things are going. Surprise releases should no longer surprise us

Posted by: mack25 18th May 2016, 02:40 PM

JT Video released tomorrow according to rumours, might be too late to help him clench that number 1 now!!!

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 02:41 PM

It was released yesterday hen.

Posted by: danG 18th May 2016, 02:51 PM

Desiigner at #7!!! Amazing success for that right now.

Looks like the only new entry top 25 we'll be getting this week is Stone Roses then. Expected Reggie N Bollie and David Guetta to be doing a lot better than they are currently.

Posted by: ___∆___ 18th May 2016, 02:52 PM

Reggie & Bollie falling quickly but still likely to stay Top 30 which is more than I expected - They will be swiftly dropped by Syco though following this 'flop'. Nathan Sykes already out of the Top 40 - They should have followed up his last single quickly and tried to capitalise on the fact he had achieved a Top 10 rather than waiting over 5 months.

The chart also seems like it is going to be Eurovision free apart from the JT boost!

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 02:59 PM

I think RnB might level out a bit now that the Saturday streaming (and all of yesterday's is added back in).

I'm not surprised about David Guetta, the overall reaction to the song hasn't been too good, even the R1 Djs have been a bit snotty about it.

Posted by: raphaelalm 18th May 2016, 03:05 PM

And Hair?

Posted by: danG 18th May 2016, 03:07 PM

oh R1 DJs don't like it? not surprised, it's so typical of them now to throw shade at a David Guetta record ever since 'Shot Me Down'. also doesn't help that it's seen as 'cool' to hate this new song of his especially as Diplo, King of EDM and Official Inventor Of Trap Music had a massive go at him.

Hopefully in time the song will be a big hit regardless.

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 03:10 PM

Nick Grimshaw still shades I Took a Pill in Ibiza too. This morning Tom Odell commented that it had really good lyrical content (which i 100% agree with) and Nick Grimshaw was like "wut".

I do agree this new Guetta song isn't his best though, I was really hoping his track with Disciples was getting a push instead as I much prefer it.



12

Posted by: mdh🏠 18th May 2016, 03:19 PM

to be honest I still expect This One's For You to be a hit regardless - it shall get KILLED over the Euros and people will buy it just for that when it gets some exposure.


in other news, anyone know what England's song for the Euros is??

Posted by: mdh🏠 18th May 2016, 03:21 PM

WAIT HOLD UP (not sure where to put this)

ARE BASTILLE RELEASING ON FRIDAY?? PLS FILL ME IN

Posted by: danG 18th May 2016, 03:26 PM

Nick Grimshaw really needs to be kicked off the radio. Scott Mills does the breakfast show a lot better than Nick anyway.

I prefer the Disciples track too but I'm guessing it's being pushed as a Disciples single as they've got lead credit on it. Shame that's not going anywhere.

Posted by: mdh🏠 18th May 2016, 03:45 PM

IMMENSE hype at Bastille maybe releasing hope you're right

tbh Matt Edmondson should present everything on the radio. him >>>>> everyone

Posted by: mdh🏠 18th May 2016, 03:47 PM

omg this suggests that you're right Joe

Posted by: gooddelta 18th May 2016, 03:48 PM

Short of us sending an actual radio playlisted hit single again I think Eurovision songs are unlikely to chart in the top 40 here again. Streamers just aren't interested in listening to the entries sadly, and this seems to be largely reflected across the whole of Europe - big on iTunes, nothing on streams.

Posted by: zenon 18th May 2016, 03:52 PM

It's next weekend actually.

Posted by: zenon 18th May 2016, 03:54 PM

Not forgetting greedy corporate radio bosses as well!

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 18th May 2016, 04:01 PM

They won't be dropped this is hardly the end for the song, this is the age of OA/OS where songs climb to their peak typically...

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 18th May 2016, 04:07 PM

Regardless of how big this RnB track ends up being, I doubt they'll be with Syco much longer. Same goes for Louisa for that matter...

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 18th May 2016, 04:10 PM

Oh I very much doubt RNB will be long-runners in the music industry, not sure they'll even release an album, but it's way too early to write off New Girl or say they'll be dropped off the back of its debut. Way too early to call re. Louisa, let's see what she releases first!

Posted by: danG 18th May 2016, 04:58 PM

I think 'New Girl' could end up being a top 20 hit. Can't see Reggie N Bollie lasting long in terms of chart relevance though, I guess there's always Butlins.

Posted by: Mart!n 18th May 2016, 05:08 PM

More like they end up as presenters for children TV, Sam & Mark

Streaming really isn't helping any of the Eurovision songs, is it?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th May 2016, 05:11 PM

Big on iTunes in a low sales environment means that niche markets/fanbase buys dominate more.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 18th May 2016, 05:12 PM

^ (@ Cameron) Frans has been the only one top 200 all week!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th May 2016, 05:17 PM

Here's my updated prediction with today's figures in.

01 Drake −16% 103,755
02 Justin Timberlake +41% 99,365
03 Rihanna/Calvin −16% 92,351

Narrow victory for Drake still predicted.

Posted by: timjimlee 18th May 2016, 05:22 PM

Yes but margin of victory is bigger than you previously predicted so Drake is catching up faster than earlier predictions!

Posted by: Steve201 18th May 2016, 05:25 PM

It doesn't matter if it was top 5 on iTunes if it has zero streams tho!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th May 2016, 05:43 PM

Well not by much, only about ~1K bigger - Drake is recovering, however Justin Timberlake is also strengthening. I think JT should overtake next week.

Posted by: Ethan 18th May 2016, 07:32 PM

this looks like it's on the money~

Posted by: Hadji 18th May 2016, 08:22 PM

It has few, not 0

Posted by: ___∆___ 18th May 2016, 09:42 PM

I could be wrong but I can't see RnB hanging around and be more like a 28-56-Out kind of hit? Surely an act like them are front loaded? Also Syco are brutal for dropping acts - Bars & Melody (Top 5), Loveable Rogues (Top 10) etc, have proved this and if Syco are prepared to drop Ben Haenow after a Platinum single plus a silver album then RnB probably already have their contracted ripped up!

Posted by: gooddelta 18th May 2016, 09:54 PM

True but if anything the Eurovision songs have performed worse on iTunes this year.

Remember in 2014 when four of them made the official top 40 (just before streaming was introduced to the chart and iTunes still accounted for about 80% of its makeup).

I'm quite sure that four Eurovision songs won't make the sales top 40 this week...Joe and Jake might.

Posted by: Dobbo 18th May 2016, 10:11 PM

I really don't think RnB will be going anywhere soon! (Certainly hope not). I think it's very wide-spanning in terms of popularity and should be a fairly good performer on streaming.

Posted by: Joe. 18th May 2016, 10:23 PM

Yeah I can see RnB being s decent sized top 10 hit once airplay has kicked in. They're most probably going to have some huge BGT perfomance next week too.

Posted by: Hadji 18th May 2016, 11:56 PM

Jason Derulo's position?

Posted by: Joe. 19th May 2016, 11:12 AM

Mint has confirmed that Drake is back ahead of Justin.

Posted by: Rob S 19th May 2016, 11:24 AM

oh well #2 is still a decent peak for Justin unless he clinches it next week!

Posted by: gooddelta 19th May 2016, 11:27 AM

I don't think Drake's going to fall far anytime soon, I was at a house party the other day and One Dance was played and out of 20-ish people in their late 20s only about 3 had any clue what the track was. Most people seemed to enjoy it though.

I do like the Justin track too, but I don't particularly LOVE either of them. In fact all of the number ones this year have been 'nice enough but nothing more' for me. The year has got off to quite a non-descript start.

Posted by: Steve201 19th May 2016, 12:33 PM

My point remains tho, a top 5 position on itunes is irrelevant now with 'few' streams!

Posted by: Hassaan 19th May 2016, 01:48 PM

I'm fairly sure Bars & Melody only had a one-single deal with Syco and Loveable Rogues chose to leave the label too. What we hear in the press with acts like Ben (that it was a mutual decision) might cover up what actually happened - Something I Need did well for him but he only reached #21 with Second Hand Heart, and they might have expected better (although if they did they'd have promoted him more).

There is a chance RnB will be performing on the Britain's Got Talent final though, as they've not announced any guests for that.

Posted by: Hayzayy 19th May 2016, 03:17 PM

I'm shocked at how low Reggie n Bollie are considering they're high on iTunes.

Posted by: Hadji 19th May 2016, 03:31 PM

Thought Kygoline would be in the top 40 seeing as they're quite high on iTunes and Spotify. Same goes with Chainsmokers

Going be close between Drake and Beyonce in the albums! The former is on track for 22.1k and 22.8k for the latter, but there's a day's worth of streams missing for Drake.

Posted by: Hadji 19th May 2016, 03:58 PM

Yep. Beyoncé only has Tidal whereas Drake also has Apple Music and Spotify

Posted by: Mart!n 19th May 2016, 04:02 PM

LOL, three different #1s in the midweeks this week, Calvin was first, Justin followed, now Drake looks like Drake has the edge

What I'm finding really amazing this week is that Kygo's debut album is outdoing Meghan Trainor's on their first week!!!

Kygo officially more relevant than Meghan Trainor

I just like to say its been a flop Eurovision Mid topic, hardly any of them have made a dent.

Posted by: gooddelta 19th May 2016, 04:19 PM

Guessing only Frans will make the top 75? At least that will be the fifth Melodifestivalen winner to make the top 75 in a row

That may well be the last Eurovision song to ever impact the UK chart in any way, unless Spotify/Apple Music add some of the songs onto prominent playlists in future years. But it's hard to tell how it would have impacted in other years. Heroes did alright on streaming last year (wasn't its third top 75 week actually due to holding up well on streaming?) and Euphoria might have been streamed more than others. I guess an incredibly popular and commercial winner might stand a slim chance of taking off.

Where is Hair at today thanks?

Love that Calum Scott is hanging around in the charts (40-42-36-36 so far) and should have a 4th week Top 40 and possibly a new peak.

Posted by: mr_pmt 19th May 2016, 05:14 PM

I'm pretty sure Ben's album performance was a key factor in what ended up happening with him.

Drake back to at number 1

Posted by: Hassaan 19th May 2016, 06:17 PM

It'd have been much higher had it has been released soon after Britain's Got Talent. Gabz & Bars and Melody got top 10 singles by doing so (releasing the song that made them popular). His audition video might have nearly 60 million views, and the video of the cover he did of the song 2 years ago at nearly 20 million but people need to be made aware of it.



Maybe so, but maybe he suffered from 'under-promotion', I don't think they targeted the right audience and he got a fraction of the promotional push Fleur got.

Reggie N Bollie not making the top 20? Streaming really is pushing them down isn't it? Mind you it wouldn't surprise me if the choir were #1 on sales.

Wowsa this is so unbelievably close. The album chart is so close too! Love One Dance but really want JT to get to #1 ... Drake's streaming is just craziness...

Posted by: Ethan 19th May 2016, 07:08 PM

yeah the charts are meeting expectations now that there is a critical mass of streaming data included~

As far as I know, "This Is What You Came For" wasn't atop in the midweeks this week, unless you meant last week.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th May 2016, 08:07 PM

Potentially we've had 4 this week (Alan Jones may confirm tomorrow?) with Stone Roses at 1 on Saturday, Calvin/Rihanna on Sunday then the surge for JT seeing him at #1 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - followed by Drake today.

Posted by: Steve201 19th May 2016, 08:34 PM

Top 2 still with a chance of breaking 100k then!
