I'm amazed enough people are still buying it for it to be top 40 on sales.

First post updated!

 

Thank you to people kindly documenting all the changes in this thread, sincerest apologies for the delay in updating, I'll try not to let it happen again ~

Week ending 04/04/2015

Shake It Off breaks Listen To The Man's record, having now lost 6 weeks. In these 14 changes, only Lips Are Movin' and Doing It gaining are ones I'm really pleased about.

So annoying re: 'Seasons'. Hopefully the digital EP being out now will help it get low top 40 at least next week but still.

"Stay With Me" and "I'm Not The Only One" tie "Don't" for this year as well I think

At this rate, "Stay With Me" or "Chandelier" will break the record for the most weeks gained in the top 40 due to streaming

surprised Shake It Off is STILL getting top 40 weeks on sales, though I guess it not being up for streaming is gonna make fans download it. Would be having a top 40 run as long as Chandelier if it was still available on streaming I guess

Ouch to stream queens Iggy & Meghan losing to streaming :rofl: Nice to see Major Lazer & DJ Snake gaining this week but I only wish they release "Cheerleader" immediately

'Lean On' becomes the first song ever to gain its first top 40 week while being outside the top 40 on sales (not including 'All About That Bass' and 'Cheerleader' as they would clearly have been top 40 on sales if available) :o

The most unexpected of tracks to achieve such!

Streaming doing its job & keeping those atrocious covers out of the top 40 :D

 

Brilliant switches this week woo! Shame about Dappy but everything else that gained is superior to the losses.

Trouble losing 4 weeks :(

Just as well that I previewed before posting the changes, since zenon already has.

So frustrating for Trouble! Can't see it breaking top 40 now which is a shame. Was hoping it would get J-Hud another UK top 40. :nocheer:

GAINS

 

Sia - Chandelier (43-35)

Sam Smith - Lay Me Down (48-33)

Philip George - Wish You Were Mine (49-37)

Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money (52-39)

 

LOSSES

 

Sam Smith feat. John Legend - Lay Me Down (32-44)

Robyn - Dancing On My Own (35-57)

Taylor Swift - Blank Space (39-74)

Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me (40-63)

It's funny how the John Legend version of LMD lost in favour of the solo version. To be honest, I'd prefer it if both versions were gone

Trouble now breaks the record for most weeks lost before finally entering the overall top 40! Style just one place away from being the first ever top 20 sales entry not being top 40 combined at all.
