Posted by: SevenSeize Feb 27 2021, 07:33 PM
Olivia Rodrigo's run at #1 could extent to 8 weeks on the singles chart, while Joel Corry's new single BED with RAYE & David Guetta is expected to debut high. There's also new tracks from Pop Smoke, Post Malone, Wolf Alice, Maisie Peters and Steps/Michelle Visage
On the album chart, Digga D's mixtape Made In The Pyrex could enter at #1, while Architects are set for their highest chart placing yet with ninth album For Those That Wish to Exist. Albums from Lucy Spraggan, Maximo Park and Alice Cooper may debut in the top 10, plus there's new releases from Madison Beer, Nick Cave/Warren Ellis, Julien Baker, King Gizzard, Epica and Roosevelt
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.

Should be an interesting week
Posted by: Mack. Feb 27 2021, 11:12 PM
Thank you chart moderators for including this now.
Posted by: Smint Feb 27 2021, 11:43 PM
Hope Olivia gets an 8th week at no.1 - nothing else in the top 10 is anything close to it in terms of quality. Plus it’s almost guaranteed a 7th week on top of the US Billboard chart (confirmed early next week) . There hasn’t been a no.1 to manage topping both U.K. and US charts at the same time for that long since Ed Sheeran in 2017 when ‘Shape of you’ topped both charts at the same time for 10 non consecutive weeks. Doubt she’ll beat that but we’ll see.
Posted by: LiamSime Feb 27 2021, 11:58 PM
Curious to see where Joel Corry’s new song will end up. I reckon it could debut in the top 10 and slowly creep to number 1 over the coming weeks, certainly hope so anyways. Don’t mind Olivia staying at number 1 in the meantime though as I love the song
Posted by: Everton Feb 28 2021, 12:02 PM
Weeknd creap in top 10 get fish out. Hopefully sza on acr. Find top end chart like mouldy cheese get feed up Paradise without you wellerman and driving license get out my head need few new songs in top 10
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Feb 28 2021, 01:01 PM
Hoping Architects can add to the fantastic run of #1 albums so far this year!
Posted by: Bjork Feb 28 2021, 01:07 PM
same, think Architects have a chance to beat Digga D, as he's not doing as well as expected on streaming
not much going on in singles, Joel Corry also starting slower than I thought
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Feb 28 2021, 01:10 PM
I think we got it the first 100 times.
Posted by: JackTheeStallion Feb 28 2021, 01:12 PM
I heard the OCC are taking your complaints seriously and looking to stop the genuine sales of these songs to appease you with immediate effect! Hope you can sleep easy now hun 😘
Posted by: Everton Feb 28 2021, 02:03 PM
Just get annoying double count
Posted by: Bjork Feb 28 2021, 02:24 PM
what double count? Are Olivia's streams being counted twice? 
Posted by: Everton Feb 28 2021, 02:49 PM
Old days brought cd single count 1 sales
Now days can listen same song each week keep add to sales
That why like old format
Posted by: dandy* Feb 28 2021, 03:02 PM
I too prefer the old sales format - but I guess it just doesn't work these days. Times change and the system needs to change along with it.
I see it as two very distinct eras, I don't ever compare sales from pre-streaming to those that people achieve these days. They're basically two completely different sets of rules and I treat them as such.
Posted by: Dircadirca Feb 28 2021, 05:41 PM
There's a nice underrated benefit to the system in theory though, you get to put more weight into the stuff you like more -> listen to more, instead of reading your music consumption as a hard 1 sale equally for your favourite & most middling purchases. Same principle why basically every voting game on this site has ranked points rather than just counting the number of voters per entry. I think it's profoundly interesting* to see what inspires people to continue listening to week in week out, as opposed to a fleeting few weeks interest.
*granted the content & progression of it is usually anything but

and kids these days will forever associate the original with the meme too now when they hear it. ugh a classic house song is now just a meme song.

Thankfully I've only heard it in full once or twice, but drivers license is truly dull for me
Posted by: JosephStyles Feb 28 2021, 06:58 PM
You're entitled to think this but let's also allow other people to have differing opinions...!
(I still think drivers license is great and is thoroughly worthy of #1!)
Posted by: Mart!n Feb 28 2021, 06:59 PM
British DJ Riton, Nightcrawlers and social media stars Mufasa and Hypeman continue their unbroken ascent on tonight’s Official Chart First Look. The uplifting house production samples Nightcrawlers’ Push The Feeling On, which became a viral dance craze on TikTok during Covid before entering the Official Singles chart Top 100 seven weeks ago. A steady journey northbound saw it enter the Top 10 two weeks ago, peaking at Number 7 on Friday.
Up a further four places over the weekend, Friday is now poised to enter the Top 5 for the first time this week, currently riding at Number 3 after 48 hours.
Meanwhile, reigning Number 1 Olivia Rodrigo looks set to hold on to her chart crown for an eighth week straight with Drivers License.
Elsewhere, TikTok star Nathan Evans climbs one place midweek with viral sea shanty Wellerman (2), with 220Kid and Billen Ted on remix duties.
Big climbs for ATB, Topic and A7S’s Your Love (9pm), up four places to Number 11 midweek, and Ava Max’s My Head & My Heart, up eight spots to 17.
The highest new midweek entry comes courtesy of West London rapper Digga D with Bluuwuu (19), closely trailed by Joel Corry’s self-proclaimed “baby-making banger” BED (20).

I argee.
Posted by: dan :: G Feb 28 2021, 07:04 PM
I absolutely don’t get Drivers License either - clearly it deserves its long number one run but I’ll be happy when it finally departs.
although I don’t particularly like the prospect of Wellerman going number one either so hopefully something else comes along soon.
Posted by: Dan17F1 Feb 28 2021, 07:05 PM
although I don’t particularly like the prospect of Wellerman going number one either so hopefully something else comes along soon.
Which is due to go to acr first? Could Wellerman fluke a week or 2 at number 1 if Drivers License goes to acr before it
Posted by: Sour Candy Feb 28 2021, 07:12 PM
The first week DL is on ACR (unless there will be remix next week) is the week starting 12th of March. Bieber will probably release his next single then as the album is out on 19th.
Posted by: Smint Feb 28 2021, 07:16 PM
Olivia better get on that phone to Drake or Cardi and work on that remix. Tbh if it was the USA charts that had the UK rules of ACR from week 10 she probably would to extend her no.1
Posted by: JosephStyles Feb 28 2021, 07:17 PM
Bieber's rumoured to be releasing a new single on 5th March (and he's not come close to a #1 debut for ages so I wouldn't be expecting him to contend anyway)
Posted by: Everton Feb 28 2021, 07:17 PM
Sorry give everyone headache I’m just charts getting annoying late hearing same songs in top 10 3 week really does re fresh
Posted by: LiamSime Feb 28 2021, 07:17 PM
Has there not been an ACR update from friday’s chart? Or have I just missed it
Posted by: JosephStyles Feb 28 2021, 07:18 PM
No update as we don't have the info I'm afraid (they're not guaranteed weekly)
Posted by: Sour Candy Feb 28 2021, 07:29 PM
He is capable of doing 35k though, and that might be enough even.. But anyway, if it's the 5th, there will also be Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak's project.

This is what I was thinking as well, as long as 'Wellerman' remains the closest competition and providing there is no remix trick or similar then it could finally reach #1 when 'Drivers License' gets hit by ACR.
Although as much as it's my favourite track in the Top 10 atm, I would actually prefer something new (ideally not from one of the usual suspects) to ride straight to #1. I would have backed 'Calling My Phone' if I didn't find it so dull and forgettable.
Posted by: Bré Feb 28 2021, 07:42 PM
I'd be here for 'Wellerman' fluking a #1, just please don't let 'Friday' do that, would be the worst non-charity #1 for quite a while.
Would not mind if Olivia just manages to swerve ACR and hang on a bit longer if there's nothing coming to legitimately beat her in the next few weeks though xx
Posted by: Liam.k. Feb 28 2021, 07:42 PM
Maybe but 'Anyone' only opened with 21,327. I imagine this next single will have higher opening sales as the overall singles market was really down when 'Anyone' was released, but maybe not enough for #1.
Edit: 'Holy' also only debuted with 27,148.
Posted by: Sour Candy Feb 28 2021, 08:30 PM
Oh really thought Anyone did better than that, it peaked at #4 after all.
Posted by: chartjack2 Feb 28 2021, 09:26 PM
Wellerman is a lazy novelty song IMO, unpopular opinion I know - I hope it doesn’t get to #1
Posted by: Bré Feb 28 2021, 11:33 PM
It is literally just a cover of a sea shanty, it wasn't created with the intent of being a hit single, just a bit of fun on TikTok. (Unless you mean the remix of it is lazy in which case fair)
Posted by: Jade Feb 28 2021, 11:36 PM
Agreed, the nadir of dance music right now
Posted by: UKL Mar 1 2021, 09:20 AM
I thought I was the only one
Posted by: Dircadirca Mar 1 2021, 02:30 PM
I don't remotely rate it but I get some amusement out of there being an unironic hit single that explains the order that days of the week are in, not dissimilar to one of the most derided lyrics of...that other song called "Friday"
Posted by: Mangø Mar 1 2021, 03:39 PM
I believe it was Craig David that started that trend!
Posted by: steve201 Mar 1 2021, 03:42 PM
The Darkness and Cure should get shout outs for days of the week songs too 😀
Posted by: coi Mar 1 2021, 03:48 PM
I just thought of the double Saturday in the week of the Black Eyed Peas
Posted by: Bjork Mar 1 2021, 03:53 PM
The Cure did it best
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 1 2021, 03:57 PM
'Friday' should be deleted from existence for fear of an alien race judging us for it.
Posted by: Dot Branning Mar 1 2021, 04:34 PM
Craig David wins the award for best song ordering the days of the week, fantastic tune.

Maximo Park!! 
Posted by: coi Mar 1 2021, 05:12 PM
Wow, a pretty open race in the albums at this early stage then!
Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 1 2021, 05:14 PM
Okay so we were all pretty wrong when it came to the album chart this week! I suppose it's still all to play for.
Posted by: Mart!n Mar 1 2021, 05:16 PM
Wow, never saw that coming, I love their first 2 albums, after that I suddenly lost interest in their music, after a couple of poor releases.
Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 1 2021, 05:17 PM
For reference: Maximo Park's last album opened with 6,545 in April 2017 and Alice Cooper's last album opened with 6,887 in August 2017.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 05:17 PM
It's a return to their more pop-orientated sounds, and has had their best reviews since their debut from what I can see - I'd recommend checking out the singles at least and see what you think!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 1 2021, 05:21 PM
What's Maximo Park's highest peak on the album chart to date?
I haven't even heard anything of theirs since the Our Velocity/Books From Boxes era.
Posted by: coi Mar 1 2021, 05:22 PM
I haven't even heard anything of theirs since the Our Velocity/Books From Boxes era.
They got to #2 with their Our Earthly Pleasures album in 2007 (which features those two songs you mention)
Posted by: dan :: G Mar 1 2021, 05:26 PM
who knew Maximo Park were still relevant enough for midweek albums #1?!
Posted by: Mart!n Mar 1 2021, 05:27 PM
I will do, to be honest they went quiet for a long time, really thought they all moved on.
Would love for Maximo Park to hang on, but that top 5 is a bloodbath for the #1, I can see Lucy falling away.
Posted by: Sour Candy Mar 1 2021, 05:28 PM
Lmaooo those albums 
Is streaming missing altogether?
Posted by: Dot Branning Mar 1 2021, 05:32 PM
Wow! Shocked at Maximo Park, I loved 'Our Velocity' but haven't heard any of their new releases in years.
Posted by: Bré Mar 1 2021, 05:32 PM
Digga D wouldn't be top 5 with streaming missing 
Maxïmo Park outselling Architects in the midweeks is certainly unexpected! 'Our Velocity' is one of my favourite 00s indie tracks and I enjoyed a few of their other early singles too, can't say I've been too taken by their more recent output.
With such a small sales gap between the current top 5 I expect Digga D will end up rising to #1, unless one of the non new releases is also still within striking distance.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 05:33 PM
https://www.architectsmerch.co/product/fttwte-cd/
Architects' CDs are down to £5!
Posted by: Sour Candy Mar 1 2021, 05:38 PM
If streaming's not missing more than usual, #1 might do less than 6k this week.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 05:42 PM
Architects' CDs are down to £5!
*signed* Maximo Park CDs are now also £5
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 05:52 PM
Rag'n'Bone Man at #32! 
I have no idea why ElyOtto isn't in the top 100 at all when he's significantly higher on streaming than he was this time last week?
Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 1 2021, 05:56 PM
Mogwai 'only' down to #12!
Posted by: SevenSeize Mar 1 2021, 06:00 PM
I noticed it's also in the top 40 on Amazon's chart too, the OCC are definitely pulling some strings there...

Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 1 2021, 06:04 PM
Maximo Park were outsold yesterday by the three albums immediately underneath them, but only Digga D is selling enough to overtake (and is on track to just avoid taking Dua's record for lowest #1 sales).
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 06:05 PM
Oh wow I wasn't expecting that! Ryn Weaver hasn't been active in music for like 5 years now so I wouldn't expect much "active promotion"
Posted by: jimwatts Mar 1 2021, 06:05 PM
PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea is one of my all-time favourite albums. It would be fantastic if it could improve on its #23 peak and stay Top 20, but that might have been a more realistic prospect if it and the demos album were combined.
Posted by: Simon. Mar 1 2021, 06:07 PM
Jessie Ware #90
Posted by: Bré Mar 1 2021, 06:11 PM
Is the news of them getting #1 actually getting them a few thousand more sales or are there just some sales that shipped too late to count to the first week
Posted by: chrissmith276 Mar 1 2021, 06:15 PM
Wellerman less than 1K behind... Expect Olivia to increase that lad through the week but could be close next week before she hits ACR!
Posted by: Cognizant Mar 1 2021, 06:15 PM
Madison Beer’s Life Support is really on life support in the UK charts...will someone pull the plug and make her fall out of the top-40? Likely.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 06:16 PM
Architects have just had tickets for an "intimate" show at Pryzm (2000 capacity) go on sale, all tickets were sold with a copy of the album and have now all gone!
Posted by: Bjork Mar 1 2021, 06:17 PM
great to see PJ Harvey in the top 10
and the amazing Julien Baker Ain the top 15
wow at Maximo Park, and 6K already, sure they can push on social media and grab at least 2K and they're safe for #1
Posted by: No Sleeep Mar 1 2021, 06:28 PM
But Maximo Park are already on 6k

'The #1 album might sell <6k this week' is the hottest new BuzzJack meme on the market x
(sadly next week we have Kings Of Leon's album which will obviously do way more than that so no chance of the meme continuing for a third week in a row)
Posted by: Jade Mar 1 2021, 06:43 PM
Yeah that Julien Baker album is fab, really clicked with me in a big way after the second listen. Has she charted before?

it's not actually a meme, just poking fun at the fact someone said the exact same thing last week before Mogwai and Ghetts both went on to comfortably pass 6k 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 1 2021, 07:49 PM
Bad Boy Chiller Crew coming for their first top 100

It’s very possible
Posted by: bluebitchboy Mar 1 2021, 09:10 PM
Maximo park have been live streaming all night, they are doing personally signed albums (where you can tell them what message you want to write), they've also announced 2 shows on sale tomorrow if you buy the album, so I'm pretty confident they will get the no1.
Posted by: Mangø Mar 1 2021, 09:12 PM
Wow Rag'n'Bone Man getting that climb purely from his appearance on Ant & Dec? Pretty impressive if so!
Posted by: steve201 Mar 1 2021, 09:24 PM
You know sales are low in the albums when half the top 10 are NEs!

It's amazing what can happen when people are aware of songs existing
Posted by: Suedehead2 Mar 1 2021, 09:37 PM
Fingers crossed for the multi-Mercury winning Polly Jean!
ELO ran through the days of the week (on The Diary Of Horace Wimp) over 20 years before Craig David.
Posted by: Smint Mar 1 2021, 09:47 PM
Wow at PJ Harvey. Slight shame that the superior "Is this Desire" reissue or demos didn't even make the top 100 but any success is appreciated.
Posted by: Dot Branning Mar 1 2021, 09:50 PM
Funnily enough I was only listening to 'Down By The Water' yesterday, didn't know she had new music out.

Interestingly, Maximo Park's third album in 2009 was #1 in the midweeks before falling to #6
Posted by: Bjork Mar 2 2021, 06:21 PM
^don't think anybody thought they had a chance even if they were #1 in the Mids, it's just NME making the charts look more interesting
actually Green Day ended up at #1 with nearly 80K and Maximo Park did 19K, but that was a massive drop cos their previous album had opened with 39K
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Mar 2 2021, 08:29 PM
Apart from Digga D i see the rest of the top 5 struggling to stay top 75 next week and possibly the same for the White Stripes and Neil Young. I thought BED would be easily top 20 by now.
Posted by: Dot Branning Mar 2 2021, 08:41 PM
Repeat listens and I still think 'BED' is nothing special, it's not bad but feels very by the numbers to me. The new version of 9PM has actually grown on me though, wouldn't mind if that climbed to the Top 10.
Posted by: Smint Mar 2 2021, 10:18 PM
To be fair apart from 'Head and Heart' Joel Corry epitomises mediocre inoffensive dance music.
Posted by: Dircadirca Mar 2 2021, 10:21 PM
I mean I like MNEK as much as the next person but is Joel really doing much here?
Posted by: Hadji Mar 2 2021, 10:56 PM
Hoping that Joel can climb into the top 20 and that ATB can climb into the top 10 on Friday
Posted by: JosephStyles Mar 2 2021, 11:02 PM
The gap between #10 and #11 is getting bigger so, at this rate, don't expect ATB to be top 10 (I'd say it's actually more likely to be #12 than #10)
Posted by: Hadji Mar 2 2021, 11:36 PM
I just hope Meduza can leave the top 10 as that’s well past its sell-by date
Posted by: TheSnake Mar 2 2021, 11:42 PM
I have heard of this band they are similar in style to Nightwish apparently but apparently not as popular maybe.
Posted by: pippa Mar 3 2021, 12:19 AM
ATB might stand better for Top 10 next week.

Just a question
Today Digga D has released tickets to Exclusive Shows on his website (each ticket comes with a free album CD)
Would the ticket purchases contribute to this week’s sales?

Surely albums that are a free giveaway with something else won't qualify as official sales. Singles/albums have been disqualified for less in the past.
Posted by: steve201 Mar 3 2021, 01:10 PM
This is the OCC we are talking about so who knows!
Posted by: UKL Mar 3 2021, 01:20 PM
Little Mix do it all the time
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 3 2021, 01:30 PM
It's not a free giveaway - in the purchase you're buying the ticket + a copy of the album together. Architects and Maximo Park are also doing it
Posted by: UKL Mar 3 2021, 01:34 PM
So it counts towards this weeks sales?

Posted by: Bjork Mar 3 2021, 02:27 PM
but actually it depends
if in order to buy the tix, you are forced to buy the album, then those bundles are not allowed
the occ is very clear about that in their rules
there always has to be the option that you can buy the tix without the album
and different prices for ticket alone and ticket+album
if they automatically add an album to a tix, then it's not allowed
so it depends...
check section 8.3 in here:

For the third week on the trot, we worry about the #1 breaking the record for lowest #1 sales, yet the #1 may end up passing 10k.
It's bad that the #1 passing 10k is deemed some sort of success though.
Mogwai are down 1-18 today.

Maxïmo Park really do have this on lock then!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 3 2021, 06:10 PM
Ah looks like a lock on for Maximo Park at #1 then!
Good to see Rag'n'Bone Man rising from the Monday mids also
Posted by: coi Mar 3 2021, 06:11 PM
The biggest gain in this update was for Architects, top three ahead of Alice Cooper should be achievable for them at least!
Posted by: jimwatts Mar 3 2021, 06:14 PM
I'm guessing Save Your Tears is #11...
and some distance behind #10?
Posted by: coi Mar 3 2021, 06:15 PM

Save Your Tears is indeed #11 again, we don't have the gap yet.

Will that be three weeks in a row in the unlucky 11 spot? Needs some ACR to help it rise in there.

Hoping Lucy can keep that #5 in the albums, she's such an underrated artist it hurts
Posted by: Everton Mar 3 2021, 10:18 PM
Hope Joseph got nice acr update this week get some song stuck in top 20 while out but careful don’t let blinding lights back in top 20
Posted by: Dot Branning Mar 3 2021, 10:42 PM
Would love to see 'Save Your Tears' and '9PM' rise into the Top 10, spare us another week of the same lineup there.
Posted by: coi Mar 3 2021, 10:45 PM
I've been fine with the top ten for the last few weeks just because most of the long runners are songs I really like, but now there's definitely a queue of songs just behind that deserve to be top ten hits and I'd love to see The Weeknd and ATB make it soon!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 3 2021, 11:40 PM
I have a gut feeling 'Save Your Tears' is actually going to be lumbered with a #11 peak.
Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 3 2021, 11:45 PM
Tbh it’s exceeded my expectations already so I wouldn’t be mad at a #11 peak. It does, of course, deserve even better.
Posted by: coi Mar 4 2021, 01:19 AM
Save Your Tears is closer to the top ten than it was this time last week but still doesn't look likely.
Posted by: steve201 Mar 4 2021, 01:27 PM
ATB has plenty of space to climb but worries The Weeknd has peaked in sales!

Another huge boost for Architects puts them closer to Maximo Park than to Digga D!

Is Wonderwall still top 100?

Hang in there Julien! My yellow vinyl turned up today *.*
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Mar 4 2021, 05:48 PM
Architects have been selling ticket bundles all week so I wondered why they hadn't increased much in the last couple of days!
I expect they'll have a big boost tomorrow now and get the #1 tbh
Posted by: coi Mar 4 2021, 05:49 PM
Nope.
Posted by: k👠th Mar 4 2021, 05:59 PM
Did We're Good fall again in Today's update?
#PrayForDua
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 4 2021, 06:00 PM
Oh, poor Maxïmo Park if they get denied their first #1 album at the last hurdle!

It did not!

so it's the battle of who sells more concert tix rather that who sells more albums it seems :/
seems like a bit of a messy chart battle tbh
Posted by: JosephStyles Mar 4 2021, 06:20 PM

It's an incentive to boost album sales, they aren't the first people to do this (certainly in the pre-covid era when you'd get loads of album launch gigs announced via places like Banquet Records)
Posted by: Bjork Mar 4 2021, 06:21 PM
if you can buy tickets without the album it's ok
what's wrong is forcing people to buy the album (again) in order to get a ticket

You could buy the tickets on their own for Architects
Posted by: jimwatts Mar 4 2021, 06:36 PM
They should apply some pressure with a social media push

Maximo Park £3.99 on iTunes.
Posted by: Testosterone Mar 4 2021, 07:11 PM
Any chance of Save Your Tears reaching the top 10 tomorrow?
Posted by: coi Mar 4 2021, 07:13 PM
Still low, but it's closer than it was last week, hopefully it gets there eventually.
Posted by: Everton Mar 4 2021, 07:20 PM
Has heat gone up at all
Posted by: Smint Mar 4 2021, 07:20 PM
Glass Animals climbed to a new peak on Spotify. Hope they climb officially tomorrow. They always do best on the final charts than any of the midweek updates. Same for Duncan Lawrence
Posted by: Bré Mar 4 2021, 08:05 PM
I thought ticket bundles didn't count towards the UK chart (they certainly never seemed to have the same ridiculous distortionary effect they did in the US). Maybe the rules are just slightly different here ~
I don't really care too much who gets the #1 between the current top 2, Architects would at least feel a bit more current/relevant I guess (and either one would be a first #1 after over a decade of releasing albums). Looks like Digga D will fall a bit short of even the 9-10k I was predicting for him, even for just being a mixtape this does seem like a little bit of an underperformance!
Posted by: dandy* Mar 4 2021, 08:27 PM
It's bad that the #1 passing 10k is deemed some sort of success though.
Mogwai are down 1-18 today.
That in itself is something of an achievement, they must usually fall way further than that in week 2.
Posted by: Bré Mar 4 2021, 08:35 PM
It's a little :') when a #1 album maybe getting a second week in the top 40 is actually a pleasant surprise but I'm happy it hasn't actually collapsed out of the top 200 as I was fully expecting it to. Their last album in 2017 fell 6-61 in its second week, and it seems they have never had an album spend more than 3 weeks in the top 100. They managed 3 weeks with 1999's 'Come On Die Young', 2013's 'Les Revenants' soundtrack (which actually missed the top 40 but had 2 separate runs in the top 100) and 2014's 'Rave Tapes', all their other entries had only one or two weeks. Maybe this one could yet give them another album with 3 weeks in the top 100?
I think I am going to check out the album, the first 2 singles were pretty good and I'm even more impressed with the third single 'Pat Stains' which I only finally got around to listening to yesterday.
Posted by: steve201 Mar 4 2021, 10:15 PM
Maybe since sales are so low at the top end Mogwai naturally fall less but I guess that would have been the case with other second week albums.
Posted by: Liam.k. Mar 4 2021, 10:18 PM
Sales generally stay the same at other positions outside the top end, even if sales at that end are low.
Posted by: Grandwicky Mar 4 2021, 11:02 PM
They did do a video on twitter tonight actually.
Posted by: Dobbo. Mar 5 2021, 09:28 AM
Is it really gonna be 3 weeks in a row with the same top 10? Jesus wept... just think if ACR didn't exist how long these same 10 wouldn't be shifting.
At least I like most of them!
Posted by: coi Mar 5 2021, 09:38 AM
At least I like most of them!
If ACR didn't exist we wouldn't actually be stuck with this same top 10... because Blinding Lights would still be in it
Posted by: Dobbo. Mar 5 2021, 10:07 AM
Incredible! tbh that would almost be preferable just to see how many top 10 weeks it would have 'naturally' achieved.
Posted by: coi Mar 5 2021, 10:12 AM
tbh that would almost be preferable just to see how many top 10 weeks it would have 'naturally' achieved.There was a brief chat about this in http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=235185&st=120, it would be on 41 weeks now (having dropped out for the last few months of 2020) which is still short of the 51 weeks Lewis Capaldi would have spent there with Someone You Loved!
Posted by: funki_munki Mar 5 2021, 11:05 AM
Are Majestic and Boney M anywhere near the top 40 today?

No
