July 18, 20169 yr Is the Bob Marley album on sale somewhere to justify that high re-entry? Probably because of Is This Love Remix that's getting big right now from LVNDSCAPE.
July 18, 20169 yr It shouldn't though?? There's no reflection of a songs popularity in sales - if anything streaming should have always been included. The current chart represents the most popular music around at the moment, I don't see why it's a bad thing? But surely if you pay for something? It means you really like it? I understand streaming, I do. But from a chart point of view it's = zzzzzzzzzz
July 18, 20169 yr OMG!! Can Jonas Blue do it this week? Drake is only a few sales ahead and the 59p effect will wear off soon Sunday streaming data will be missing so Drake will be at least 2k further ahead than the initial figures suggest I would imagine.
July 18, 20169 yr Author Music Week says Drake is on 20,485 in the singles whilst Michael Kiwanuka is on 6,126 in the albums...wa wa whoops!
July 18, 20169 yr MM has to go Top 10, otherwise it will break her run of lead singles peaking in the Top 10. I guess it still has time though...
July 18, 20169 yr Streaming has changed the pace of the chart by considerably slowing down chart movement and increasing chart longevity. Drake has only managed to cling on to number one for so long due to a weak release schedule and heavy streaming sales, his physical sales aren't even top 10. Bryan Adams record stay at no1 for 16 weeks was based purely on physical sales so even if Drake does match that, his achievement isn't quite in the same league.
July 18, 20169 yr Surprised to see Cruel so high :o not a fan but it's better than any song ZAYN has made by himself. Mama Said at #43! Hope that can climb a few places by Friday
July 18, 20169 yr MM has to go Top 10, otherwise it will break her run of lead singles peaking in the Top 10. I guess it still has time though... Hopefully streaming picks up. I'm worried that radio stations (mainly Capital) will see it falling on iTunes and stop playing it though :cry:

July 18, 20169 yr Yes. Everybody hating on Drake saying the song is insignificant + every excuse you can come up with under the sun. This song is number one in like 13 countries round the world and breaking records in America, New Zealand and Australia to mention a few. One Dance is one of the best singles released in a very long time and most of the world agree. Get in there drizzy - 15 weeks record will be broken next week and then we going for the record. OVO Unruly all day. Jheeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
July 18, 20169 yr Amazed that Michael Kiwanuka has managed a midweek #1 album! How has he maintained any level of relevance this long after his debut?

I think it's an awful song and know quite a few other people who don't like it too.
July 18, 20169 yr It really is a matter of opinion about it being one of the best singles in a long time. I think it's an awful song and know quite a few other people who don't like it too. I don't think it's the worst song ever, but it is far, far from being the best ever, maybe that is it's secret that it is so middling that it appeals to people broadly. It may never appear on anyone's top 10 of all time but it will never be in there bottom 10 either and that is the secret.
July 18, 20169 yr Amazed that Michael Kiwanuka has managed a midweek #1 album! How has he maintained any level of relevance this long after his debut? pj harvey showed in such a low sales environment even niche acts have a shot at #1 in quiet weeks~
July 18, 20169 yr pj harvey showed in such a low sales environment even niche acts have a shot at #1 in quiet weeks~ Exactly - plus he played the main stage at Latitude on Sunday afternoon and it sounded quite good. Plus: produced by Danger Mouse which is a definite bonus!
July 18, 20169 yr Amazed that Michael Kiwanuka has managed a midweek #1 album! How has he maintained any level of relevance this long after his debut? Radio 2 are giving him a lot of airplay I believe.
July 18, 20169 yr pj harvey showed in such a low sales environment even niche acts have a shot at #1 in quiet weeks~ She's a far more established artist though. Kiwanuka released one previous album ages ago and it was a flop relative to the amount of hype he had with the Sound of win. I wouldn't have predicted his new album would even be top 20!
July 18, 20169 yr R u really putting the 2 songs on the same level??? There's nothing to compare... Everything I do is a classic ballad/love song and is still airplayed to this day 25 years later, while One Dance is an autotuned mess that will be forgotten in a few months time just like any Drake, Kanye, JayZ song.... LOL WHAT? We get that that you don't like rap but that's ridiculous Regarding the midweeks; So proud of Christine and the Queens, amazing album, amazing success already!
