July 4, 20169 yr Calum Scott is #2 on iTunes so looks like he's heading for the top 10. For him to make the top 5 he's going to need a huge surge in sales as his streaming points won't be as strong as others.
July 4, 20169 yr Some @MintRoyale tweets from the last hour or so... "Looks like Drake is going to be number one AGAIN this week. This is so DULL." "Blink 182 number 1 album? WTF?" Edited July 4, 20169 yr by Jake.
July 4, 20169 yr Still baffled by One Dance's success. Hotline Bling has had far more cultural impact despite never going top yet this has managed 12 weeks, with more expected. I get it is catchy, but certainly doesn't seem like an iconic track. Sort of thing you wouldn't skip if it came up on a Spotify playlist but wouldn't want to listen to repeatedly.
July 4, 20169 yr I'm way past the stage of being baffled by One Dance's success. Now I'm just really p**ed off that it's getting to spend so long at #1. It's just such a nothing track.

I get it is catchy, but certainly doesn't seem like an iconic track. Sort of thing you wouldn't skip if it came up on a Spotify playlist but wouldn't want to listen to repeatedly. I think this is a huge part of its success personally. It's not offensive enough to skip, and it's at the top of pretty much all of the biggest playlists still...
July 4, 20169 yr Comparing it to Hotline Bling, it might help that One Dance is under 3 minutes while Hotline Bling comes close to 4 and a half. Not absurdly long, but One Dance certainly squeezes through more easily.
July 4, 20169 yr I've always thought that a big factor of One Dance's success is due to the fact it is a short song. This is because it encourages people to listen to it more, garnering more streams..
July 4, 20169 yr One Dance will probably fall out of the top 10 this week on sales, would that be the first #1 that isn't top 10 on sales?
July 4, 20169 yr Author One Dance is annoying as hell now, but there isn't any new music to shift it. If the new Major Lazer single was out this week it would get there quite easily. I must admit new releases have been very thin on the ground, apart from JT, Kungs, Calvin & Rihanna which would have had their time at #1 if it wasn't for Drake, there isn't hardly new material out. It be interesting to see if JT goes to #1 when the movie 'Trolls' comes out. Quite a nice chart run there :D
July 4, 20169 yr That would make for an interesting chart run with the movie not out in the UK until the end of October :lol:
July 4, 20169 yr I can see Cant Stop The Feeling being in the top 10 right up until Trolls is released, monster chart run!
July 4, 20169 yr These are the estimated weekly sales whilst at No.1 - I'm sure these are wrong because it registered two weeks above 100K in Week 3 and 4 at #1 according to Alan Jones, and of course sold 1.2 million before falling off #1. 04/06/94 65000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 11/06/94 75000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 18/06/94 85000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 25/06/94 80000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 02/07/94 75000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 09/07/94 75000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 16/07/94 70000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 23/07/94 65000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 30/07/94 60000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 06/08/94 65000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 13/08/94 60000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 20/08/94 65000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 27/08/94 60000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 03/09/94 55000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around 10/09/94 45000 Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around I was sure Music Week from recent years revealed the full list of its weekly #1 sales (although I imagine re-adjusted ones instead of what was reported at the time) but all I could find was this from November 2011: The other Jagger single, Moves Like Jagger, didn’t make number one and has been available for a week less but has sold over four times as many copies. Holding at number five, it sold 42,707 copies last week, raising its cumulative sales to a mighty 804,538. It’s the first time that Moves Like Jagger has sold fewer than 50,000 copies in a week, ending a run of 11 straight weeks in which it did so. The last single to top the 50k mark more times was Wet Wet Wet’s 1994 chart-topper Love Is All Around, which did it 14 times in a row, although it sold a comparatively modest 83,998 copies in its peak week. The track ended its run by selling 47,154 copies – but the following week it posted a sale of 75,555, primarily because even the band was fed up with it, and announced its deletion, which ironically triggered even more demand, as punters searched for remaining copies. Perhaps surprisingly, Love Is All Around is not that popular in the digital age, with sales of 59,670 copies logged since the OCC started tracking download sales seven years ago to add to its physical sales of 1,298,131. Obviously, this quote suggests that its sales have been revised downwards as the total is 'only' 1.3m instead of 1.8m.
July 4, 20169 yr One Dance is annoying as hell now, but there isn't any new music to shift it Olly Murs has a new song out on Friday so hopefully, he'll shove Drake off the top. If "One Dance" isn't on NOW 94 or is one of the tracks on there which is album-only, then that effect could also shove Drake off the top

If "One Dance" isn't on NOW 94 or is one of the tracks on there which is album-only, then that effect could also shove Drake off the top Well Olly's last OA/OS single didn't even come close to #1 so don't get your hopes up...
July 4, 20169 yr I was sure Music Week from recent years revealed the full list of its weekly #1 sales (although I imagine re-adjusted ones instead of what was reported at the time) but all I could find was this from November 2011: Obviously, this quote suggests that its sales have been revised downwards as the total is 'only' 1.3m instead of 1.8m. On a similar note, this is all I could find for "Everything I Do", from July 2012: It (Summer of '69) has become one of his best-loved recordings, and ranks number one among Adams downloads in the digital era with sales to date of 286,959, beating even his long-running (16 weeks!) 1991 chart-topper (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, which is a distant second , with 198,404 digital sales.

July 4, 20169 yr No way This Girl at #1 :o Even the casual chart listeners all know what'll happen now :kink:
July 4, 20169 yr I reckon Blink-182 are only just outselling Coldplay and Adele combined - I imagine both could be on ~8k so far. Good sales for Blink-182, I was half-expecting similar sales for the full week actually.
July 4, 20169 yr Author Just realised there isn't any new entries in the top 40, the highest is #52 Fergie :o
