Harrys doing good!

Steps to hold onto that number one, they really deserve it! It is an incredible album and it will be a great day for all if they get it.

 

Ed to hold onto the singles #1, Symphony is an abomination, it is just dull and lifeless and a letdown for Clean Bandit after Rockabye. It should be #101, not #1.

Wow, I think that's the first negative thing I've read about Symphony on the forum!

If it doesn't have Sean Paul talking gibberish all over it it's not worth the number one these days. :P

I really like symphony and think it deserves to go number 1

 

But I'd rather it stall at number 2 than be a harry styles type number 1 :lol:

Oh, whatever...

I don't like Symphony either; it sounds like a medicore Eurovision song - but rather that

be #1 than Sheeran.... The Harry Styles song is actually pretty good!!!!

Symphony is decent but currently I think people see it as a better alternative to Ed's residency at the Top.

Last week's Sales were dire, this week's not much better (even allowing for a price drop), suspect it will make it but ultimately be a forgettable number 1 (and a lucky one given the rate the Sales have been reducing).

I would like to see Symphony get the #1 instead of Ed, although I'm not sure how I feel about Clean Bandit these days... I like most of their music but the rub me up the wrong way a bit as people... does anyone else get that feeling?

CB will be #1 this week, 100% sure, the lead is huge, 5K is impossible to beat when sales are so low

I think they'll do it; but given spotify data is missing and Ed is leading combined there, the gap is going to be smaller than that figure reported.

 

I'm hoping that Ed doesn't suddenly pick up more sales/ streams

They'll be fine, even though Ed's streaming is still higher, Clean Bandit are outselling him 2:1 on iTunes.

Come on Ed, I am backing you son!

 

Not in the albums department though, that has gotta be Steps!

I think Symphony would get more than 1 week at number 1, once it gets to number 1 lol which should be this week, Shape of You finally starting to slow down a bit!

there is no chance,

CB are outselling Shape by 4:1 on iTunes, the digitaldata site tends to overestimate but the current daily figures are like 5,000 sales for CB and just over 1,000 for Shape... Shape is barely ahead on Spotify, combined it's 40,000 streams ahead aka 400 copies...

if something, the difference is gonna increase

Yeah Symphony has #1 on lock, Ed's not THAT far ahead on Spotify combined so it's not gonna make that big a difference.

Funny that you keep making these sweeping comments about the Harry #1 but fail to back them up when questioned...

Lucky perhaps but I don't think it'll be a forgettable #1, considering it's already spent a couple of weeks at #1 on sales and is demonstrating great longevity in the top 5. It's not like it's gonna suddenly go 1-4-15-21-39-x after this week.

I tend to disagree, when there is other tracks that have stuck around for a while, and outstayed their welcome, some tracks are just old now, like Shape of You, I can't understand some of the guys here want Ed Sheeran to stick around far longer, when other artists have lost out on a #1 during his reign, Jax Jones, RagnBone Man etc etc etc. You need quality, not samey week on week. ^_^

A few years ago, lots of people complained that all we had was flash in the pan number ones each week with hardly any longevity. Now we have longevity and people complain nayway. People will always find things to complain about with the charts.

I'm pretty sure if it were Jax Jones at #1 for 16 weeks it wouldn't be complained about actually. Maybe with people only getting bored in the last two weeks perhaps.

Shape of You actually appeals to lovers of many different types of music- there is a dance mix by Galantis, a Stormzy mix for grime fans, a stripped down acoustic version, the Major Lazer mix and even an unofficial Dancehall version credited to Jah B. I actually think there is nothing samey about it but that might be just me

 

I also like Despacito but wish they hadn't roped in Justin Bieber to get a hit!
