That Top 40 is just so diverse, I wish Spotify and the actual chart reflected something like this :drama:

New DJ Khaled ft. Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Chance The Rapper etc... out Friday. Next #1?

Top 40 debut for sure - not sure if it'll hit #1 in the long term tho. DJ Khaled's stuff doesn't tend to be awfully mainstream so I doubt it'll be that big but we shall see when we hear it!

DJ Khaled feat. Drake "only" managed #25 last year so I'd be surprised if that made it quite as high as #1, depends on how commercial it is I guess.

4. Jason Derulo - Swalla (feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign)

21. French Montana - Unforgettable (feat. Swae Lee)

42. KYLE - iSpy (feat. Lil Yachty)

67. K.A.R.D - Rumor

85. Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie - In My World

Swalla being as high as #4 is beyond me. The UK really do love crap.

But it's good crap though :lol:

Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy yay, shimmy ya (drank)

Swalla-la-la (drank)

Swalla-la-la (swalla-la-la)

Swalla-la-la

Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy yay, shimmy ya (drank)

Swalla-la-la (drank)

Swalla-la-la (swalla-la-la)

Swalla-la-la"

OMG really irritating lyrics :puke2:

Swalla should be a certain Top 10 hit this week. It is needed I feel to give some life into the Top 10.

 

Next I need Scared Of The Dark to smash. :wub:

Swalla is a choooon.

I presume calling a song "good crap" doesn't mean that it's very creative or meaningful, but that it's stupid and fun. I can think of a lot of songs I'd put in that category, even if I'm not sure I would consider 'Swalla' to be one.

That said, I suppose it's sort of clever how they sneak the innuendo in.

Is Scared of the Dark getting played by any radio station? Its a solid pop song that should be played on Radio 1/Capital. Its a pity radio are so against older acts (I'm not sure its really age that much because they play Sia but older acts that have been around a long time. I bet if Sia was around 20 years ago she would be not be played now Britney . If Katy Perry/Sia released Scared of the Dark it would be played loads by Radio 1/Capital and would be a huge hit. I'm not sure what it is really? Relevancy/popular to the younger demographic? How did Madonna get hits into her 40's?

It was around 2012-2013 that Radio 1 wanted to strictly cater to the teenage market. Up until 2012, Madonna, Kylie, Robbie Williams, and Britney were regularly playlisted.

Sia WAS around nearly 20 years ago......well 17 years ago she was Top 10 with 'Taken for Granted'

After that one hit though she kinda disappeared for over 10 years.

 

The real reason why 'Scared of the Dark' isn't being played by R1/Capital is because the song is too cheesy and Steps don't have a young fanbase. Sia's songs are very commercial, chart friendly and young people like them.

Well she wasn't really an established singer. She only had one hit really and then came back in 2011 with Titanium. No one really knew who she was beforehand.

I don't think Radio 1 were that keen on playing Steps even to start with.

Steps have just gone 9 from 10 after their repeat appearance on Mrs Brown tonight
