Based on the leaked sales positions 25-40 in the albums could go either way. Lets hope TLC can hang on in and retain their top 40 position.

 

Ed Sheerans, X will likely replace Radiohead in the top 10 i reckon.

4-6 are very close in singles, 9-11 too, hope Pretty Girl stays top 10 but not easy
Grenfall could just about hold top 20 this week possibly and at get a 4th week ?

I think it'll be top 30 and will be lucky for a 4th week in the top 75 or even top 100.

I'm surprised to see Calvin #2 in the midweeks, I know this era hasn't exacty been huge but I still expected his name alone to ensure he opened with around 35,000 and defeat Sheeran!

 

Glad to see 'Feels' doing well though, I've had it on repeat a fair amount recently! Here's hoping that Swish Swish finally starts to pick up!

Wild Thoughts need to step up the competition next week tbh

Next week is going to be closeish but I think Despacito will probably hold on.

Rihanna/Khaled gains have slowed, they are hovering about 95% on spotify and 90% on iTunes.

Wheres BOTW in the mids?
I assume you mean 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters'? If so, it's at number 16.

Yeah sorry :lol: Nice to see it not completely dropping out of the chart then like most other charity singles after the second week. Hopefully it will hold onto the Top 20 until Friday.

When will Despacito be affected by the 3wk rule? Can Wild Thoughts really go #1??

If it sells less than 84k this week then it'll be its second consecutive week of decline. If it keeps declining it'll move to ACR in the chart broadcast 21st July.

 

Wild Thoughts has a good chance of overtaking it by then.

I keep hearing Wild Thoughts everywhere, blasting out of cars and houses. I can't say the same about Despacito. Weird the former hasn't managed to overtake yet, it seems so huge right now.

To add to the wonderful confusion the new chart rules have brought in, 'Despacito' will only be affected by the new rules if its sales decline more than the % fall in the total market, assuming overall sales fall that week, otherwise it will stay on SCR rather than ACR for that week...

 

Edit: it will have to have three consecutive weeks where sales fall by more than the change in overall market sales. As market sales fell by 4.5% last week there's no guarantee that sales of 'Despacito' will fall by more than the overall sales market before the sales week ending 20/07/17. Its sales could fall this week but if the market shrinks by more then it won't put the track on three weeks of a decline, under OCC chart rules.

Does the 3wk rule only apply to #1 songs?

No. It applies to all songs (that've spent 10+ weeks in the top 100).

 

could we all please refer to this post regarding the changes in chart rules. it should answer most of your questions.
