January 1, 201511 yr As we may not get midweeks here are some predictions I feel like throwing out there. Although, All About That Bass will probably be #10 instead. AATB will be higher than #10. It's #10 & #30 on iTunes, #7 combined, and also currently #4 on Spotify.
January 1, 201511 yr AATB will be higher than #10. It's #10 & #30 on iTunes, #7 combined, and also currently #4 on Spotify. Ah, I was unaware it had a second version so high, probably about 6 or 7 overall then perhaps ahead of Blank Space.
January 2, 201511 yr Fingers crossed we get an update, looks promising, someone seems to be updating the news section on MW site :D it doesn't mean we get an update though, just have to wait and see. There won't be any sales content though.
January 2, 201511 yr We have midweeks! Hopefully Martin will be along soon to post them but if he's not done so in about the next 15 minutes I'll post them up.
January 2, 201511 yr In the meantime, the top 5's Singles 1. Mark Ronson / Bruno Mars 2. Philip George 3. Ed Sheeran 4. Ben Haenow 5. Taylor Swift Hozier is at #13 Albums 1. Ed Sheeran 2. George Ezra 3. Sam Smith 4. Taylor Swift 5. Paloma Faith Plenty of old albums are bouncing back up the chart - 'Back In Black' by AC/DC is up from #147 to #23.
January 2, 201511 yr Excellent to see Taylor's album that high again, hoping it'll make 2x platinum eventually!

January 2, 201511 yr 21 to 40 on the singles looking incredibly FRESH. I suppose it's to be expected with only one new release charting this week. :P
January 2, 201511 yr Joy at another month probably of old hits filling the charts. Thankfully Sam hasn't climbed.
January 2, 201511 yr Ella Henderson, 5 Seconds Of Summer & Damon Albarn are 99p on Google Play so they should receive a boost!
January 2, 201511 yr All the Christmas songs dropping out certainly doesn't help. This time of the year is always ridiculously stale, though.
January 2, 201511 yr Thanks for the update. Hope Ben Haenow can hold at 4 or at least 5 until Sunday. 3 weeks in the Top 5 would be good :)
January 2, 201511 yr Hopefully streaming can knock "Happy" back out by Sunday. We don't need deadwood from 2013 in the charts. And also, we don't need X becoming best selling album of 2015 as well Edited January 2, 201511 yr by Hadji
January 2, 201511 yr The 'Gift Card effect' normally can be seen the week following the New Year as well so it's not exactly unusual, plus with streams, there could have been a lot of New Years playlists to replace streaming of Christmas songs.
January 2, 201511 yr I really hope 'Listen To The Man' sneaks in somehow by Sunday. It's been between #30-#35 on iTunes all week
January 2, 201511 yr Cant wait to see Mark Ronsons steams this week he did nearly half a million streams on spotify on NYE!!
January 2, 201511 yr Hopefully streaming can knock "Happy" back out by Sunday. err... how can streaming knock Pharrell down, its available on streaming unless I'm missing something.
January 2, 201511 yr All the Christmas songs dropping out certainly doesn't help. This time of the year is always ridiculously stale, though.This is one thing I miss about the charts of yesteryear. Record companies would take advantage of the new year lull to release singles by unknown or perhaps just fanbase acts. The result would often be a host of new entries which gave the chart a fresh feel. Now it's just the old hits bouncing back again.
