Rudimental ft. James Arthur are on the front page of hot songs, so should be set for a top 20 entry this week, and should definitely go top 10 on iTunes.
'Chinatown' by Liam Gallagher and 'The Line' by RAYE are on the front page of hot songs, though how much they'll do is questionable. If this doesn't get RAYE into the top 50 on iTunes I don't think anything will.
'Location' by Khalid, on the other hand, is already a hit on the other side of the pond, and I can definitely see it becoming a moderate hit if it stays on the hot songs list and picks up a bit of airplay.
Kate for top 200 pls
Honey G coming for #1.
The UK will be hit with the Honey G before they even know it.
Katie to slay, queen of vox

apparently this Samantha Harvey has written three novels. Not sure how she's got a big enough fanbase for pre-orders to get her top 10 tho.
edit: she tried to beat X Factor to Xmas #1, not audition for it.
Katie almost top 100 already!
Amazing.
That awkward moment when this Samantha Harvey song is better than at least half of the songs in the top 10
106. Rudimental feat. James Arthur Sun Comes Up
Not what I was expecting from Rudimental, but it sounds tropical and it will probably do well.
Yeah. She's one of those Youtubers who wants to show off her clearly impressive voice, but ruins her covers by using so much auto tune! It's really off putting!!

I think Feels could chart top 10 this week, it's surely going to have a big climb on Spotify tomorrow. I can see it being the biggest hit from the era anyway, bigger than Slide!
Did not realise that NERVO song was still getting pushed. It was released aaaages ago.
It's been remixed by Tom Zanetti apparently.
It's cheaper to buy all the album tracks from Calvin's album separately than it is to buy the album (by nine pence lol) so we may well see his album tracks doing quite well in the iTunes chart.
Calvin update:
11. Feels
44. Slide
129. Skrt On Me
165. Heatstroke
194. Rollin
232. Cash Out
(244. This Is What You Came For)
(314. Don't Quit)
344. Holiday
363. Faking It
(628. We Found Love)
(647. My Way)
(714. Summer)
719. Prayers Up
(1091. How Deep Is Your Love)
I don't think we'd be seeing a load of Calvin tracks in the official chart either way, he's not a huge streaming force like Stormzy/Drake/Ed
I do think his album tracks might do moderately well on Spotify, at least for a few days. Not enough to impact the official chart much, though.
Won't Calvin's album be the first to fall under that new rule though, so it won't matter either way?
lol who is buying that song from Jordan? I heard it and it sounded terrible
In the singles, that's 14 artists with a number 1 single I count releasing today! And that excludes those with remixes out today.

26. Liam Gallagher - Chinatown
48. RAYE - The Line (Hot Songs and 59p and it still can't get top 40, clearly this song just isn't happening)
I'm surprised Olly/Louisa haven't crept into the top 20.
I knew it wasn't going to be a smash but it's looking like it won't even make top 40 at this rate
SIGELLA!! I had no idea they were in the top 10!
Just listening to the new Rudimental song... it's so... eh. Like, there's nothing to it at all. It's nice (well, it'd be nicer if it was someone with a better voice) but its not even James that's the problem with it. It's literally that there's nothing exciting or interesting in the song at all! :\
Which probably means it'll be a huge top 5 hit and won't leave the top 10 until October or something
I'd be very surprised to see this Rudimental song do anything significant. They're no longer a Chart force, only one top 10 since the massive Waiting All Night & that was entirely due to collaborating with Ed Sheeran.
I think the Rudimental song could be a hit! Instant radio support and it's totally commercial, I'd be more baffled if it wasn't a hit.
03. Rita Ora - Your Song
10. Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl
--
92. Katie Price - I Got U
I'm going to make a bold claim and say that Sun Comes Up will be absolutely MASSIVE - a big top 3 hit throughout the summer.
I really like this Rudimental hit. Not a fan of James but I still like the song a lot. Only took 2-3 full listens to grow on me. Hopefully lands outside the Top 10 this week as I didn't put them in predictions, but certainly has the potential to go Top 10 at some point.
Been really pleased with how well Power is doing. Seems to still be picking up momentum.
08. Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean) - Calvin Harris
I totally take back anything negative I've said about this. I can't believe how much its grown on me
99. I Got U - Katie Price
So will the iTunes chart be hugely important again since the new rule change?
108. Katie Price - I Got U
She said it would 'definitely not be a flop'.
09. Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl
108. Katie Price - I Got U
That Samantha Harvey song is possibly the worst track I've heard all year, utterly atrocious. If YouTubers could just stick to YouTube, that'd be great.
Maybe it was already answered, sorry I must have missed it, but why is Kamaliya - Timeless climbing the iTunes chart?
79. Kamaliya - Timeless [Remix]
84. Kamaliya - Timeless
In Germany she was top 10 for a while recently on iTunes with a cover of Sign Your Name by Terence Trent D'Arby.
I saw her supporting Steps in 2012, she was absolutely dreadful but obviously keeps getting bankrolled and the fake buys theory wouldn't surprise me as there appears to be no logical reason for this song and its remix appearing in the top 100.
Also came here to ask about Kamaliya, wondered if it had been played on Love Island or something! Wasn't this big in Holland recently? Or maybe just on iTunes.. it's all a bit baffling because it sounds 10 years out of date and wouldn't have been a hit then either.
53. Lorde - Green Light
Been climbing lots lately
88. Timeless
91. Timeless
06. Sigala & Ella Eyre // Came Here For Love
Feels is up to #7. Shaping up nicely. It might be a bigger hit than Slide.
Slide never got higher than #9 on iTunes so this is really good going for Feels! Easily the best song this era imo so really glad to see it's shaping up well.
39. Alma - Chasing Highs
Thought Olly Murs performed on This Morning? It hasn't had a boost
69. Kamaliya - Timeless [Remix]
75. Kamaliya - Timeless
so it's like Mariah Carey/ Tommy Mottola all over again
If he got the money to spend let him it would likely only have short chart run at best unless he a multibillionaire
Kamiliya - I remember her from listening to Scott Mills show on Radio 1 a few years ago (I think she was a sort of meme on the show) and her saying 'I'm very famous in Ukraine' was played quite a bit.
08. Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl
Is buying your songs to get them in the chart not proper illegal though?
No?
If it isn't it should be really. Not much difference between that & betting on your own football team (cough, Joey Barton). Not entirely sure how they would track it though so I guess that's why they let it slide.
Omg at Chasing Highs up to 28
Regarding the Kamaliya talk...
I don't think it is her husband buying the single, she seems to be in the U.K. With Scott Mills doing things for Eurovision?!?
http://www.kamaliya.co.uk/bbc-shoot-for-eurovision
It states on her website (in May) showing soon, so maybe something has aired somewhere?
Really weird, I can't believe her husband has already spent over 20m on her music career...it's actually really sad when that sort of money could help so many people in need (I guess that's life though).
Thought these were funny from 2012 - Obviously paid for promotion:
1) FREE CD in OK magazine
2) Appears on Clubland 23 & 24 (near the bottom album only).
Her YouTube account is REALLY Off too, 45m, 17m, 10m views but she only has 13,000 subscribers? Hmmm...dodge!
Timeless is quite a good song, I like it. I remember her form when she was on Scott Mills' show before, it was fun. I rmeember he took her to PoundLand and she loved it.
I heard I Got U, I prefer the verses to the chorus.
but sure if somebody tries to buy multi-copies on iTunes, the occ would notice if 1,000 copies came from one single IP Adress
Wild Thoughts is coming for #1
Little Mix had a big jump this morning so are at 4 atm!
JUST THINK IF IT HAD PROMO 😭😭
Come on Wild Thoughts! Rih is due another #1.
Hopefully Bruno vs Guetta makes a dent soon. Sounds like a summer smash.
92% now. #1 possibly today?
04. Sigala & Ella Eyre - Came Here For Love
21. Olly Murs & Louisa Johnson - Unpredictable
24. ALMA - Chasing Highs
39. RAYE - The Line
Top 10 is looking really good right now
10. Rudimental - Sun Comes Up (feat. James Arthur)
The top 10 is looking so strong right now!
7. Calvin Harris - Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean)
8. Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl (Cheat Codes X Cade Remix)
21. Alma - Chasing Highs
Has the currently Carly Rae Jepson song done anything on iTunes, started to hear it on Radio 2
162. Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut to the Feeling
6. Calvin Harris - Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean)
18. Alma - Chasing Highs
Is ALMA on Hot Songs again? Good to see her going back up.
ALMA literally flying up.
So great to see Rita at 3
This has done so well for her!
09. Unforgettable (feat. Swae Lee) - French Montana
This has some amazing longevity!
#101 - Don't Look Down - Martin Garrix ft Usher (59p)
Even this very commercial sounding track of Martin's sounds good compared to his recent singles
Don't Look Down is his best song to date.
Animals has something to say about that
Yeh Animals was the big breakthrough song!
It seriously pains me to think the same guy who did 'Animals' is doing what he's doing now.
yes, sadness :/ it's a bit like listening to the old Tiesto stuff and seeing him now remixing Miley Cyrus and making songs with John Legend :/
5 Calvin Harris - Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean
Just realised More Than You Know has been climbing quite a bit
75. Axwell/\Ingrosso - More Than You Know
115. Bruno Mars & David Guetta - Versace On The Floor
120. Jennifer Lopez - Ni Tϊ Ni Yo (feat. Gente de Zona)
04. Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean) - Calvin Harris
16. Chasing Highs - Alma
20. Bad Liar - Selena Gomez
30. Thunder - Imagine Dragons
38. The Line - RAYE
94. King Kong - Icarus
95. Cut to the Feeling - Carly Rae Jepsen
Glad to see Katy is getting another hit. The long hair is doing wonders.
I'm starting to feel like King Kong could do an On My Mind tbh
Really hope Neiked can get another hit with 'Call Me'! Not as good as 'Sexual' but a solid follow up!
3 Calvin Harris - Feels (feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean)
Maybe a long shot, but I wouldn't write this off having a shot at #1 after Despacito.
Call Me should be a decent sized hit.
Still increasing though.
I would be here for 'Feels' to be number 1 (it won't though). But happy to see Katy likely to get two top 5's this year *.*
It is good to see Katy getting a second hit this year but I do agree that it would likely be doing this well with or without her her own material should really be doing better
I think Katy really adds to the song.
I don't think we can start trying to claim that Feels isn't really starting to take off.
90 Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut To The Feeling
I think this could have real potential if it got a Radio 1 and Hot Hits add.
Ah, okay.
---
14. ALMA - Chasing Highs
Watch this get removed from R1 on Friday
56. BTS - Come Back Home
70. 5 After Midnight - Up In Here
73. Axwell /\ Ingrosso - More Than You Know
85. Khalid - Location (Can really see this doing something)
102. Jennifer Lopez - Ni Tu Ni Yo
137. Fifth Harmony - Down
173. Robin Schulz ft. James Blunt - OK
175. Clean Bandit & Marina and the Diamonds - Disconnect
195. Nick Jonas ft. AnneMarie & Mike Posner - Remember I Told You (Well this has been a disaster)
Knowing them, Radio 1 will probably playlist Remember I Told You in September
Can't see Location being a big UK hit, think its been and gone.
96. Jennifer Lopez - Ni Tϊ Ni Yo (feat. Gente de Zona)
love this.
13. ALMA - Chasing Highs
I can see Chasing Highs having a similar chart run to Final Song in the coming weeks
Any big releases out tomorrow apart from Kesha and Zedd/Liam?
There's new AlunaGeorge this week & I believe Coldplay - Aliens is too.
I read it too at ukmix that Aliens is out tomorrow
even wiki has it:
Singles from Kaleidoscope
"Something Just Like This
Released: 22 February 2017
"A L I E N S"
Released: 7 July 2017
The new Kesha song is out... and WOW That's AMAZING! Song and video, I'm shocked. Liam and Zedd are also gonna be a hit. About Kesha I don't think so but I can hope.
Quite like the Kesha song. I know it's a very making-a-statement song but she'd have had a much better chance of getting a hit if she'd released an uptempo banger.
Top of Hot Songs for Kesha! Looks like they're actually going to give it a good push
31. Zedd & Liam Payne
No sign of Kesha as of yet
Edit: And the Kamaliya saga continues, as the Funk-DeVice Remix rises to #64
29 Liam/Zedd
92 Kesha
#57 Kesha
Zedd & Liam up to #25.
07. Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl
#45 | Kesha
Love the Zedd/Liam song, going to be big.
Kesha's song is the perfect first single for her album. Don't think it'll do much though.
37. Kesha - Praying
That Kesha song is fantastic!
Hope it does well after what she's been through for years.
US | 27 & 41
UK | 37
Such climbs
19. Zedd & Liam Payne - Get Low
32. Kesha - Praying
27 Kesha - Praying
12. ALMA - Chasing Highs
I never thought I'd see Alma so high!
I really hope 'Praying' is a big hit for Kesha. I can't think of anybody who deserves it more right now.
15. Get Low - Zedd & Liam Payne
18. Bad Liar - Selena Gomez
20. Praying - Kesha
Kesha's new single is lovely. I must admit I did get her mixed up with Kiesza at first. I was going to post it was a completely different direction from 'Hideaway'!
14. Get Low - Zedd & Liam Payne
17. Praying - Kesha
