Louis, Ava & Bananarama, some great pop songs out this week! Really liking the Marshmello/CHVRCHES collab on first listen too, it's more instant than his other stuff, can easily see it being a big hit.

Posted by: mdh 8th March 2019, 12:44 PM

So far this year we've had 11 top ten debuts, in comparison to 3 in 2018 and 8 in 2017, it shows that the charts are finally in tune with Spotify as to making an enjoyable chart with a relatively fast turnover.

It's doing well considering it's only getting played by 1 Xtra I think??

Great track!!

Where did the Black Keys come from, haven't heard them on radio 1 yet?!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 9th March 2019, 12:14 AM

Can't see Radio 1 playing The Black Keys outside of the Indie Show - but even they haven't played the new Stereophonics song.

Posted by: Steve201 9th March 2019, 12:26 AM

They supported the last two albums did they not?

Posted by: Bré 9th March 2019, 12:44 AM

25. Dido - Give You Up

Surprised at how well this is doing! Her new album is quite good - hopefully she'll get continued support from BBC Radio 2 and the album will manage to sell somewhat decently.

Posted by: T’Seet 10th March 2019, 09:43 AM

Now I know this is the highest Dido has ever been on iTunes! So pleased for her, I know it doesn’t really mean anything these days but she’s such a lovely woman and the album is amazing.

Posted by: Moses 10th March 2019, 09:51 AM

Did End Of Night not manage it?

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th March 2019, 09:53 AM

23. Marshmello - Here With Me (feat. CHVRCHES)

Posted by: T’Seet 10th March 2019, 10:07 AM

End Of Night did absolutely nothing IIRC but she wasn’t promoting it that heavily. I can’t remember how Don’t Believe In Love or No Freedom did on iTunes but they charted at 54 and 51 respectively so I doubt they got that high.

She won’t crack the official top 100 of course, with streaming being the dominant force.

Posted by: lewistgreen 10th March 2019, 10:17 AM

She’s also on Sunday Brunch this morning. You get that promo!

Posted by: Bjork 10th March 2019, 10:24 AM

Could dido’s album grab the @1?
Wasnt expecting such good promo

Posted by: Steve201 10th March 2019, 10:29 AM

What did the last album open with?

Posted by: T’Seet 10th March 2019, 10:32 AM

I doubt it, Tom Walker will still be doing well and Dave will have a streaming advantage.

Posted by: Steve201 10th March 2019, 10:33 AM

Plus Sigrid and Foals! Sigrid in particular will be heavily front loaded.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 10th March 2019, 10:53 AM

Why will Sigrid be ‘heavily’ front loaded? She’s hardly a fan base act?

Posted by: T’Seet 10th March 2019, 10:56 AM

Yeah to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dido ending at 5 like the last album or lower. I’m just so pleased to see her getting an initial fantastic start, she really deserves it.

Posted by: Bjork 10th March 2019, 11:05 AM

yes Sigrid is the opposite of frontloaded

Posted by: Cqmerqn 10th March 2019, 12:26 PM

11. Sigrid - Don’t Feel Like Crying

Could go top 20 this week, seeing as it’s now starting to smash on Spotify

137 John Newman - Feelings

This needs some promo and record company payola for streaming playlists.

Posted by: danG 10th March 2019, 05:36 PM

I think John Newman's very much a has been at this point sadly, no amount of payola is going to make Feelings a proper hit.

Posted by: T’Seet 10th March 2019, 05:37 PM

John Newman was never really any good. Feel The Love was a bop but I’ve hated everything else he ever did.

Posted by: Bjork 10th March 2019, 06:11 PM

Love me Again is his only good solo single, nothing worth it after that

Posted by: GTH 10th March 2019, 06:36 PM

Come and Get It is my fave of his but little interest in following him as an artist. I think most of the public feel the same, though that’s not to say if he brings out something catchy (and its gets plenty of airplay) that people wouldn’t get behind it.

Posted by: dobbo 10th March 2019, 10:12 PM

Olé deserved better...

Posted by: Glenn 69 10th March 2019, 10:27 PM

Posted by: Bjork 11th March 2019, 10:58 AM

really? Ole ole is the worst thing he's released and worst thing Calvin Harris has associated himself with

Posted by: Moses 11th March 2019, 11:21 AM

I’d agree but I learned at the weekend he had something to do with that awful Chalice song that’s been in the charts

Posted by: danG 11th March 2019, 11:27 AM

Chalice didn't even make the chart, it just got heavily overplayed by Radio 1. I didn't enjoy that either and Calvin Harris very rarely makes a song I don't like.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th March 2019, 01:32 PM

Didn't you say the other day that was 'Giant'?

Posted by: Bjork 11th March 2019, 01:35 PM

my brain had deleted Ole, but thats actually worst than Giant by miles

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th March 2019, 01:40 PM

Your brain seems to delete a lot of things when you make posts.

Posted by: SKOB 11th March 2019, 01:59 PM

LMAO

Posted by: Bjork 11th March 2019, 05:14 PM

haha but actually I didn't say Giant was his worst song
I said that if it were to go to #1, it would be his worst #1, which was 100% accurate

The Number 1 version also dark green on Kworb

Posted by: Hadji 11th March 2019, 10:48 PM

I’d like for Giant to get at least one week at the top. He’ll most likely get it when Lewis hits ACR

Posted by: Bré 11th March 2019, 10:51 PM

Chances are 'Giant' will hit ACR at the same time as if not before 'Someone You Loved' (and something will likely have overtaken both of them by then). They're both still gaining at the moment so it won't be for at least another month.

Posted by: Hadji 11th March 2019, 10:55 PM

Mabel is behind both at #3 so chances are, she'll hit #1 if Lewis and Calvin both hit ACR at the same time

Posted by: JosephAvery 11th March 2019, 10:59 PM

I'd say Mabel will hit ACR even sooner.

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2019, 11:34 PM

Has Michael Rice's song only just been released now? Not sure what the point of these delays is (I remember the same happened with SuRie last year), not like it's going to be a hit anyway.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th March 2019, 11:38 PM

I'm pretty sure they usually change the song up a bit, production etc
