No midweeks today i'm afraid. There's nothing at the OCC website and Music Week have just republished the midweeks from last Monday. i assume the OCC will give a mini-update in the morning.

 

I just had a quick look as well in case something dropped, the same as fortnight ago, its going to happen again at the end of the month. To be honest the mini update tomorrow morning from OCC is hardly inspiring sometimes as you don't get the whole picture, pretty much the basics. Thinking a top 40 update will be available from MW on Wednesday, unless a white fluffy dickie bird comes my way tomorrow at some point :D ha ha

DJ Khaled song is 90% copy of this

I thought DJ Khaled was behind 'Konichiwa' song but not.

 

That artist have a goldmine right now i guess he is waiting for the dong to get more popularity before steps into action

 

He has a huuuuge case here

 

But some people here still are deaf and will claim James Arthur did not copy Adele in his 'Way you won't l;et go' etc

 

Omfg THIS!!!

 

Everyone copies Adele these days.

 

Heard Pink screeching along to shet ballads trying to be her??? Or allll of 2013 being ballads in first half of year to copy!!!

 

I think Ed will comfortably keep the #1 album (i don't see Gorillaz managing 40-50k but a #2 debut at least would be nice)

Yes it is looking more like Ed will nab a ninth week, I agree he should stay above 40k and can see Gorillaz being more in 30-40k range.

 

I think DJ Khaled is going to have the #1 single as CB don't have the 59p price tag no more from iTunes. All you need is around 47k+ for a #1 single this week

If DJ Khaled gets it, it'll be the first time since September where a non-British act has topped the singles chart

As lead artist. Zara Larsson isn't British.

And neither is Sean Paul of course.

I suppose it would the first entirely non-British chart-topper since September though.

Was sean de paul officially credited?

I read he wasnt

I think it's pretty much guaranteed that "I'm The One" will be number one now, at the top of both Spotify and iTunes charts :P

 

If "Despacito" takes off in the UK like it has in the US then it could be the second time in less than a year where Justin Bieber is #1 and #2 in the charts both as features :lol: Which would also be the third time in less than two years where he's occupied both top slots (although back then he had #3 also)

I feel like such a hypocrite for being so annoyed about Ed's domination when I have had absolutely no issue with Justin's admittedly more prolonged domination. I liked all 3 of Justin's invasive 2015 singles, both of his 2016 ones and I like these two new ones as well. The perils of being a Bieber apologist I guess.

The OCC snubbed him and Anne-Marie but he is officially credited everywhere else, so I have no idea why the OCC didn't follow. But yes, he does count!

Justin's is a lot more spread out though, he's only spent 4 more weeks at #1 compared to SOY and thats over the course of 1.5 years

In 2015, Justin was at #1 with 3 different songs though, and Sam Smith, Sigala & NHS Choir all provided some light relief at #1 in between

Oh please, James Arthur deserves his success. His song is not a plaigarism of Adele

It's more the Script than Adele so if people are accusing they should at least be accurate 😄

True. It did feel like a lot more than that at the time, I guess because it was pretty much the first occurrence of a majority of someone's albums making it to the Top 40.

As lead artist. Zara Larsson isn't British.

That's what I meant sorry

OCC updates are out

 

Bon Apetit in at #39... She will miss Top 40 I guess.

 

Gorillaz at #1 only 300 copies away from Ed :(

What a disaster for Katy. I saw some people were predicting a Top 10 debut before it was released :kink:

That's really tragic for Katy - what a misfire!
