November 7, 20178 yr Author Rubbish how Pink has fallen behind Sheeran. Can’t stand him. Depending on how albums sell for the rest of the week, Pink may hold onto the Top 5 at the expense of George Michael.
November 7, 20178 yr :blink: surely lots of data missing if Taylor only dropped 1 place she barely top 40 in iTunes and not even sniffed the top 50 on Spotify but hopefully it can hold top 40 it’s growing on me weakest from reputation so far but it’s growing Think you got sales or Havana and rock star wrong way round ;) Edited November 7, 20178 yr by 777666jason
November 7, 20178 yr I think rockstars should be 20.3k unless he really has sold/ streamed 16k in 24hours
November 7, 20178 yr Nothing was the wrong way round I just pressed a 3 instead of a 2 when typing it up.
November 7, 20178 yr Rockstar truly is an abomination of a song. Didn't it go to #1 in the US because of a youtube video that just played the hook over and over? Really happy to see Havana going for a second week. never liked 5H but Camila seems endearing, plus the song is a banger Edited November 7, 20178 yr by penghuwan
November 7, 20178 yr Sam only sold 8k yesterday? Not even looking like he'll reach 90k now He's on for about 80 - 85k at the moment, but the sudden rush on Thursday night after is show could see him clear 90k.

November 7, 20178 yr Didn't it go to #1 in the US because of a youtube video that just played the hook over and over? was debunked
November 7, 20178 yr was debunked I don't understand how anyone believed that the looped video was supposed to be helping him in the chart. The lack of a proper video on YouTube was if anything substantially DISadvantaging him in the US chart, he'd likely have got #1 earlier if the song had a proper music video.

The lack of a proper video on YouTube was if anything substantially DISadvantaging him in the US chart, he'd likely have got #1 earlier if the song had a proper music video. At a guess, it's probably just a carry over from the outrage of "Harlem Shake" getting to #1 via just as much of the song being heard. I'd love to know how many people actually watch that video all the way to the end, or how many people there are who genuinely think that's the song. I like "rockstar" as much as the next person but it's a real challenge to sit through it like that. If there was some dumb algorithm that made every one of those loops count as a separate play then MAYBE there could be some reason for outcry, but it's all too silly to think that it's not genuinely the most popular song in the country right now.
November 7, 20178 yr TO me ‘Rockstar’ actually had that “number one hype”, ‘Havana’ less so actually. And that doesn’t go to my personal taste, as I like ‘Havana’ more.
November 7, 20178 yr I suppose people were dumb enough to think every time the chorus looped it counted as another stream when really all the loops together would only count as one stream. Anyway the actual version is on YT now.
November 8, 20178 yr Charity dirge singles aside, "rockstar." is the least number 1 feeling song of recent memory. really? it's everywhere tho
November 8, 20178 yr I'd say Rockstar is "more #1" than Havana which has slowly increased in popularity but not a phenomenon, like Rockstar which was success right away I'm glad both have been UK #1's though, and probably US #1's too.
November 8, 20178 yr to be honest never heard rockstar on the radio or tv or when entering a shop or a mall or anything, it's not like despacito i personally think rockstar is popular among the kids that use spotify but not sure if it has transcended into older age groups
November 8, 20178 yr TO me ‘Rockstar’ actually had that “number one hype”, ‘Havana’ less so actually. And that doesn’t go to my personal taste, as I like ‘Havana’ more. Agreed, I much prefer Havana but Rockstar has been much more present as a number 1 in London for me.
