Lets not. Less than 2 million out of 65 million is not most of the country :P

 

 

The charts don't lie though he wouldn't be clogging it up if he wasn't liked

I call it how I see it. I'm not gonna panda up and support something that I don't like.

 

That being said, there are lots of new releases I like at the moment from Imagine Dragons, Tiesto, Fall Out Boy and OneRepublic.

 

I also really enjoyed the new Steps album and I have been enjoying Ed Sheeran's music this year, along with most of the country.

 

There's a difference between having an opinion and being negative/insulting. No one's asking you to support something you don't like. On the last page alone you've made three unnecessary digs out of nowhere.

I'm surprised Bruno Mars That's What I Like didn't do/isn't doing better in the UK. Will it even go top 10 this week? It's a huge hit in the US, Number 1 on Billboard/Radio/Digital and I think streaming as well. He's a very popular and established singer in the UK with lots of hits. When was the last time a song from a big established artist was a number 1 hit in the US but not a top 10 hit in the UK? or the last time a song number 1 in the US wasn't a top 10 hit here?

#30 hit Bad and Boujee I think :kink: it's doing pretty well, a top 15 hit is very good going! The album is still selling well too.

Any relatively big releases on Friday?

Jonas Blue, Galantis, Niall Horan, Camilla Cabello & HAIM are the main ones afaik.

edit: Also, is the hype chart coming back this week? I just accidently posted in the Trending chart thread thinking it was the Hype chart. I have lost track with all these charts. The hype chart is amazing though!

The Hype Chart will be out in a matter of minutes!!

actually Bruno Mars is #1 in the US without being #1 on any individual chart, #2 on airplay, #2 on downloads and #5 on streams

As JosephStyles said the answer to your last question is Bad & Boujee :lol:

 

BUT

 

You actually raise a really good point because if we ignore B&B the last time was actually 'Set Fire To Rain' all the way back in 2012!! :o I guess that also answered your question about the last established act.

That's a really interesting question. Unless I'm missing something (which is very possible), other than Bad & Boujee there hasn't been a #1 in the US that hasn't been top 10 here for a long time. Before the aforementioned, the last instance I found was This Is Why I'm Hot by Mims from 2007 that hit #1 in the US, but only made #18 here. For an "established artist", I found Mariah's Don't Forget About us in 2005 that topped Billboard and reached #11 here.

 

EDIT: Seems I did miss out on Set Fire To The Rain. Think I just saw Adele's name and totally forgot it missed top ten.

YAY for both!! Huge hits please :wub:

Bad & Boujee was a lot more popular than its #30 peak suggests.

If it were more popular, would more people not have bought or streamed it?

B&B was not particularly popular over here...

That's the limitation of thinking a song's popularity is accurately reflected in its chart position... not all songs are. I heard Bad & Boujee loads on radio stations, in clubs, at house parties and people's playlist. More than enough to tell me that is was a genuinely popular song.

 

Maybe it appealed to more of a niche than the Ed Sheeran album but that doesn't make a song not big. For example, I'd argue that Bad & Boujee has felt a lot bigger than the new Lady Gaga single.

That's funny because my impression of it has been the complete opposite - I only ever heard it on the chart show and when I sought out to listen to it. Off of BuzzJack, I've never heard one person talking about it, or blasting it out of their car, or play it in their DJ set. So to me, its chart position was really well reflected because it was not a monster hit here like it was in the US.

Well that's probably because The Cure has only been out just over 2 weeks compared to what? Like 7 month?

This is more based on your own experiences though, no? Not a dig or anything but it's not at all surprising going by your tastes that you'd say Bad and Boujee was a bigger hit than The Cure, whereas from my own experience with my own tastes, I've seen a hell of a lot more hype for The Cure. The chart balances all this, and if Bad and Boujee were more popular, it would've charted higher.

Probably says more about the circles we both frequent to be honest.

He has a point, the lyrics of the hook became somewhat of an internet meme so had cultural impact in that way, plus it had good longevity for a number 30 hit.
