I think 'rockstar' has a good chance of being this week's official #1 actually.

Is it gonna be like Drake all over again? 15 weeks at #1 by somehow achieving these big numbers on Spotify but seemingly nobody in the real world actually caring about it.

no way will it get 15 weeks especially with ACR now being a thing plus Q4 coming up.

It's odd isn't it, One Dance still doesn't feel like the hit it was. Even Hotline Bling still feels like a far more recognisable song.

That's a weird world you live in LOL

Agreed.

I mean, it feels like a hit, but not like a huge long running #1 like Shape of You or Despacito, and I say this totally objectively, as I love One Dance and Drake and much prefer it to the other songs I mentioned.

I think it's a good tactic for this kinda song (Rockstar, One Dance) to not have the song on Youtube... let's face, the target audience of Drake/Malone don't use itunes much, so the only alternative to Youtube is Spotify

 

I also think One Dance did well cos of Hotline Bling being amazing and taking him to the next level of supefandom

That's what I was getting at, the cultural impact for it was so incredibly minimal and I never heard/saw anyone talk about it really. I get a feeling this seems to be roughly the same.

ALMA, MK & Big Shaq added to Hot Hits UK

Yes at MK being added! 17 to be a hit please. :)

17 YESS PLS GET HUGE

weird that they now placed L Mix as 1st song on hothits, while Rockstar is one of the last ones, imagine how many more streams could be getting...

but seemingly nobody in the real world actually caring about it.

agree with this - I love the song myself but nobody I know even knows it, and most of my friends are big rap fans :unsure:

Hot Hits Update:

35 Macklemore - Good Old Days (feat. Kesha)

38 ALMA & French Montana - Phases

41 MK - 17

45 Big Shaq - Mans Not Hot

 

Only aware of the Big Shaq song from memory! Oh and cqmerqn must have missed the Macklemore song, it's been added pretty high so looks like a second hit from him this era.

I wish rather than ALMA it was Martin Solveig feat. ALMA. :(

Likewise, I'm finding the new song rather weak in comparison to her past stuff :( All Stars is still fresh and it's a hit just waiting to happen.

this tbh, when is it gonna take off ffs

I'm hoping Radio 1 and Hot Hits get on board within the next two months, if we're using a rough timeline of how 'Places' panned out.

That Alma "song" has to be the most non-descript generic shie I've heard all year, I cannot stand her :drama: I haven't heard the Martin Solveig one but I normally like him and it can't be any worse than this and Dye My Hair :puke:

Yeah ALMA is basic af. No personality whatsoever
