Shawn Mendes 'Stiches' is now 99p it will be interesting to see how it manages to hold up now.

 

26. Years & Years - Eyes Shut [it's being advertised in the 59p batch!]

32. Ellie Goulding - Army

40. Charlie Puth - One Call Away

78. Olly Murs - Stevie Knows [Really?]

125. Rachel Platten - Stand By You

133. Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself

I'm open to either a Justin or Shawn #1

Shawn for number 1 but Michael Calfan to smash pls :w00t:

wonder if the increase in price will cost Mendes the #1

Shawn is being used in 'hot songs' on iTunes now. That should work against any 99p fall.

Amazing by foxes had more than 2000 radio plays since it was released on 04.12 and it can't even make the top 150 on iTunes,how is this even possible

Really don't like Stitches, such an insipid wet formula song.

So it's 3 words I never thought I'd say, Come on Bieber.

wonder if the increase in price will cost Mendes the #1

 

 

He's still dark green on iTunes, so me thinks not. It helped the initial climb, which in turn helped him pick up more airplay, but I don't think it matters now, the support and interest are there. Also, he's being used in "Hot Songs" on iTunes now, which might be making up for the lack of 59p.

23. Pia Mia - Touch

37. Alessia Cara - Here

 

Big yes at both these updates. Shame Pia has been taken off Radio 1 playlisting now but hopefully she can scrape a week in the top 40 next week at least.

 

I can imagine 'Here' will just go from strength to strength now. The BBC announcement yesterday was great for getting it off the ground and with playlisting going to kick in in a few days time it should keep on steadily rising. Very impressive performance on Spotify already too.

10 Justin Bieber What Do You Mean?

11 Snakehips All My Friends (feat. Tinashe & Chance The Rapper) :arrowup:

12 Little Mix Secret Love Song (feat. Jason Derulo) :arrowdown:

 

:o

 

Little Mix have plenty of time, get it Snakehips!

curious to see how Jack Garratt does on itunes this week, #77 now,

if he doesn't do something this week after all the talk about him winning the sound of 2016, he's never gonna do it

 

EDIT: jump to #52 in the last update

257. Kano feat. Wiley & Giggs - 3 Wheel Ups

 

Grime still bringing tunes in 2016. The production on this is fire!

 

Really rather strange behaviour for LM to gather so much steam so fast, briefly enter the top 10 before falling back down to #12. Just seemed like a very sudden and out of the blue stall when it was just moving up through the teens and the twenties like nothing.

 

Very happy for it to give Snakehips it's chance though. Hopefully this means 'All My Friends' can knock Bieber out of the top 10 and get a nice top 10 effect so that when LM eventually do get more steam it won't be 'All My Friends' falling back out.

It is quite random for them to climb from 40 - 10 within days, and stall at 10 and fall, but it's typical for Little Mix, their previous post album singles Change Your Life and Little Me both spent 30 minutes in the top 10 and fell. Obviously I believe this will have a long top 10 stay though, it's still very early days.

 

What Do You Mean? Needs to fall now, I want a phresh top 10.
