Dancing On My Own isn't top 20 on Spotify so if it is to outpeak Robyn it'll need to sustain its #3 position on iTunes all week. It seems likely that it'll eventually do it though, it's already outlasted her version in top 40 weeks.

I can see dancing on my own being the new iris or make you feel my love on X factor being played in the background, getting performed constantly and getting boosts every year on the chart

4 - Calum Scott

 

Coming for that surprise #1? :wub:

 

It's going to take a lot more sales for it to make no. 1 as its sales are a lot stronger than its streaming points. It sold 28k in the last frame (total) which might have accounted to around 22k sales and the rest from streaming. Maybe it'll get a boost from somewhere - if he does make #1 he'll be the first Britain's Got Talent act to do so (as far as singles are concerned) which would be nice to see. It'd be nice to see something garnering huge sales too.

 

 

I'd have thought with a big radio 1/capital premiere Ollys new track could be a new no1 for us?

 

It might be tricker for Olly to get a #1 in this day and age - certainly the last one that went to #1 for him was in an era where downloads/sales were much stronger. So he'd need a lot of momentum, with a decent amount of airplay he could get it.

So pleased to see Adele holding at #2 - Huge fan but was 'meh' about the song becoming a single release however it's steadily grown on me and was definately the right single choice, Streaming seems to be healthy too.

That Freak Like Me (#80) is great we need something like that in the itunes top 40. I haven't been following the thread for a while has it been itunes top 40 yet?

no.

 

it's not over for it yet though as it's impact date is still ages away.

So if the Callum Scott track is only just starting to get airplay and they only made a video a couple of weeks ago, who's been buying it all these months?

people who remember him from Britain's Got Talent.

BGT fans.

Missed about a day of this thread and it's surprising to see how quickly things change :o [!!] Really hope Calum Scott can get back to top 3, that would be AWESOME for the charts.

Maybe with sales lower in the iTunes chart he could jump up to no1 and get some momentum from that?

I think Olly will be ok for a while yet as he would have an audience who would stream his singles as well as purchase it. I wouldnt rule him out having another number 1 but i think he has a few hits left in him yet.

 

I hope the nee album does well for him and i had hoped never been better would have made triple platinum.

I saw Martin Solveig's 'Do It Right' appear in the top 100 earlier, I am seriously dying for that to do something.

2000 chart sales ahead from streams but 3000 sales ahead according to the digital sales data over 24 hrs not including streams or sales from elsewhere

I'm assuming things between 3 & 6 are really close.

 

Clean Bandit is down to #6 (from #3 - yday) and JT is back up to #3, with Callum and Calvhanna right behind him. Really hope JT can somehow get back up to fighting for a top 3 placing officially!

 

EDIT: Also great to see Fergie up to #23! Really hope she can hold up and get herself a big hit with this. The video is one of the very best of the year <3

Why doesn't everyone else from BGT have a long-running Top 40 hit though?

Because this is clearly a more popular song than them? :P I don't really get the point, clearly the song's been spread via social media and that's how people are aware of it. It had a video before the other week too (just not one from a major label) so no doubt some TV airplay before then also.

Actually that wasn't clear, which was why I asked. I use social media but evidently not with the sort of people who are interested in this track.

I don't think magicians and dancing dogs tend to release music :thinking:
