ACR isn't about pretty chart runs though, it's about clearing the way for fresher songs, and ACR is doing exactly that!

 

+1 - maybe the implementation of it isn't always fair and could do with tweaking, but it kinda works.

The OCC probably don't care about that, it was unlikely to go any higher and was gonna dip out of last week's top 10 anyway!

 

 

Yeah, I complained to them a while back citing another record which felt like it was being punished early (forget what it was), but they came back with "no it's working perfectly - the song had peaked a couple weeks previously and was now on its way out" or something.

 

 

Female artists can get away with songs about kissing girls, but if a male artist sang about kissing boys (even an openly gay one) all hell would break lose on media.

Biography

 

A pop singer/songwriter who broke records with his debut single, Shawn Mendes was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. After posting a series of his cover versions to various video-sharing sites, Mendes earned a dedicated following of viewers. His mix of Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber's styles also appealed to Island Records, who signed Mendes in 2014. That same year they released the then-15-year-old's debut single, "Life of the Party." American radio initially ignored it, but the track entered the Billboard 100 singles chart at number 24, making Mendes the youngest artist to land a debut single in the Top 25. The song was also included on Mendes' four-track Island debut, The Shawn Mendes EP. The EP performed well, reaching number five on the Billboard charts on its way toward sales of over 100,000, setting the stage for his full-length debut, 2015's Handwritten.

 

Preceded by the single "Something Big," Handwritten appeared to strong sales, debuting at number one in both Canada and the U.S. The single "Stitches," which was released that April, became one of Mendes' biggest hits, reaching the Top Ten in the U.S. and Canada and topping the charts in the U.K. and Germany. In addition, his single "Believe" landed on the soundtrack for the Disney Channel fantasy musical Descendants. While opening for Taylor Swift on the North American dates of her 1989 World Tour, Mendes and Fifth Harmony's Camila Cabello collaborated on the song "I Know What You Did Last Summer," which appeared on the deluxe version of Handwritten that was released in November 2015; the song reached the Top 20 on the U.S. and Canadian Hot 100 charts.

 

The Top Ten single "Treat You Better" preceded Mendes' second album, Illuminate, which was recorded in upstate New York and arrived in September 2016. Illuminate, which featured co-songwriting contributions from Teddy Geiger and Scott Harris, debuted at number one in the U.S. and Canada, where it also achieved platinum status. It was quickly followed in December by the digital-only Live at Madison Square Garden. Mendes launched a massive world tour in the spring of 2017 and notched another Top Ten single in "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back." Around this time, he also delivered the live acoustic session MTV Unplugged. - iTunes

Exactly the way it should be imo, if a song has peaked and is on its way out then I see no problem. The only cases I can think of where it felt a bit strange were Hailee Steinfeld's Most Girls and Imagine Dragons' Thunder, which hit ACR the week after they peaked :lol: but if they were declining anyway...

but they could use a gradual ACR that was increasing week by week to avoid the 7-33-32 runs

Biography

 

5 Seconds of Summer (often abbreviated as 5SOS) are an Australian rock band from Sydney, New South Wales, formed in 2011. The group were originally YouTube celebrities, posting videos of themselves covering songs from various artists during 2011 and early 2012. They rose to international fame while touring with One Direction on their Take Me Home Tour.

 

In early 2014, the band released "She Looks So Perfect" as its debut single, which topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The self-titled debut studio album was released in June 2014, which peaked at number one in 11 countries and followed by a live album titled LiveSOS. The band released their second album Sounds Good Feels Good in October 2015 and followed up with the release of a live documentary DVD called How Did We End Up Here.

 

On 2 December 2016, the band announced the release of their B-sides and rarities previously unavailable worldwide under the title This Is Everything We Ever Said to celebrate their fifth anniversary as a band. - Wikipedia

But that's the point I'm making, it would go against the OCC's reason for adding ACR in the first place. It's not about pretty chart runs, it's to swiftly deposit songs that have peaked and are declining.

Back to back dreams, and now back to back blood... sounds like nightmares to me.

 

Quite like "Youngblood".
