"Promesses" is french for promises.

 

Yes, that was the point of that sentence.

Mint Royale also got the premiere date of Promesses wrong, it's not 5 months old, it's 17. (he must've misread the publish date of its original YouTube video)

 

Anyway YESSSS for Tchami going top 3 :cheer: and Kaleem Taylor officially the most relevant Taylor in the chart *_* though it'll probably miss top 5 by end of the week.

 

A little disappointing that Kanye isn't even top 10 in the first mids, though his lack of streaming isn't helping (showing 0% streaming sales so I'm assuming the song still hasn't been added to Spotify et al <_< Who does he think he is, Taylor Swift?)

:basil:

She's releasing the video for "Big Girls Cry" today, which should be a sign.

 

And releasing "Elastic Heart" video (without The Weeknd) tomorrow (7th January)!

 

Looks like another new peak for Hozier's take me to the church :dance: Good to see One Republic climbing, I know the 99p Google promo will fade off but the album has been on the charts for ages and id love it to eventually go platinum.

 

Could I ask for Take That album position please??Take That really need to join in the 99p google promotion to add sales.

I don't mind "I Loved You" climbing up. It deserves to go higher and it didn't deserve to lose its original peak due to streaming. I just hope "Yours" can climb even more

Could I ask for Take That album position please?? Take That really need to join in the 99p google promotion to add sales.

#15 for their album. 'These Days' has taken a bit of a tumble, falling 10 places to #18.

Sia team are really atrocious, 'Chandelier' was almost released one year ago with the album being released in July, who waits 6 months to release the second single from the album??

 

They probably haven't moved onto the second single yet because chandelier is still hanging around.

Well going by that logic, Ed Sheeran would only be on single #2 by now :kink:

Nice climbs for '1000 Forms of Fear' and '2014 Forest Hills Drive' :D

 

I don't think Sia releasing 'Elastic Heart' is as ludicrous as people are suggesting. Yes it is quite old, but it's never had any recognition really and it makes for an interesting single choice to follow on from 'Chandelier'. I don't think the timing is too off either, as 'Chandelier' is still huge around the world. What is strange is that The Weeknd doesn't seem to be featuring on it :unsure: not sure that will work as well at all...

 

I am deeply upset that 'Big Girls Cry' isn't getting a release still :cry: however that means that my campaigning for it to be single #3 officially beings NOW :magic:

What an amazing top three! *_*

 

Sadly I fear/expect that Sheeran monstrosity will overtake one or both of Tchami & Philip George. <_<

There is practically zero chance of Sheeran overtaking Philip George. Tchami is a different matter, it'll be close - but I think he will overtake by Sunday.

Where do I sign to join that campaign? :dance:

Great that 3 decent albums could reach new peaks this week thanks to Google Play - One Republic, Sia and J.Cole

Probably a stupid question here on my behalf but does this update include streaming? It's just for example Tulisa is at #15 here which is where I'd expect her to be based on sales, but I imagine she's actually at least 10 places lower in the actual chart due to the streaming effect.

Sorry I was just a little confused :P

Yep, yesterday's update included streaming data. ^_^

Oh wow! This makes me very happy then haha! Thanks :)

Tulisa is coming for that #41 play on Sunday :funky:

 

#1 album is still up in the air, hope suedehead2 is preparing 3 different versions of his commentary for the #1 album on Sunday :lol:

Shame Sia has fallen from the top 10. :( Expecting Queen B to make a re-entry in tomorrow/friday's singles mids.

Do you happen to know the chart position for III and These Days, please?
