Expect Cold Water to be released at either midnight US time, or following its global radio premiere in the morning!

So it's gonna be released at 5 AM? who's gonna be awake for that? lol man's gonna be counting sheep by then :lol:

Or, shock horror, people will download it when they wake up! :P

Its still possible for Jonas Blue to get to no.1 next week if Major Lazer fails. Now getting over 300k on Spotify. Very possible for him to get 60k+ if his iTunes lead holds.

I would be quite shocked if anyone's even close to Major Lazer - let's remember that What Do You Mean? opened with 83k and Sorry opened with 101k! I'm not sure this will do that much but it should be a comfortable #1 I think. Both Major Lazer and Justin are massive on streams!

Dancing On My Own + Perfect Stranger are both 59p again! :lol:

 

The best news? 'Into You' is now 59p :wub:

Bastille and Ariana Grande added to the 59p club, Both versions of Calum Scott now 59p putting him in a strong position as he's at #3 & #13!

I predict a huge chart battle this week!

 

Perfect Strangers

Dancing On My Own

One Dance

Cold Water

 

All these could easily get number 1!

Top 40 59p songs -

 

#1 Jonas Blue

#3 Calum Scott

#4 Shawn Mendes

#5 Clean Bandit

#7 Drake

#11 MØ

#12 Bastille

#13 Calum Scott (Tiesto Remix version)

#37 Anne-Marie

#38 MK & Becky Hill

 

59p tracks currently making up 40% of the Top 40 best sellers!

 

I really do hope that Jasmine can get another hit!

Have Major Lazer ever been at #1 on iTunes before? they might do it for the first time if not although i think Lean On might have got there but i'm not sure about that.

I'm pretty sure Lean On got there!

I don't think Lean On ever made it although I could easily have forgotten, so it would be a first for them!

 

EDIT: Yeah just checked, #2 was its highest!

#2 is an injustice in my opinion, I'm sure it's way better than whatever kept it from top spot.

What blocked Lean On? Jess Glynne? :heehee:

 

One of the best songs from 2015?

Great timing for Ariana! Especially with 'Now 94' coming into effect this week also *.*

 

Speaking of Now 94. Here are the "Album Only" tracks:

 

Kungs & Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl :cheer:

Justin Bieber - Company

Callum Scott - Dancing On My Own

Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better

Drake - Hotline Bling

Kent Jones - Don't Mind

David Guetta ft. Zara Larsson - This One's For You

Jonas Blue ft. JP Cooper - Perfect Strangers

 

YAY for Kungs not being able to get any extra benefit from being on the Now album *.* (at least for now)

Calum and Jonas album only?! Those extra cherry pick sales could have given either the edge needed this week especially as Calum has only just been added to the R1 and Capital playlists!

Being "album only" doesn't mean the songs won't get a boost tbf, people will just have to take a couple of extra clicks to get the song. It may reduce the boost but I'm sure album only songs have had boosts still before!
