New releases are dry this week :( Thank the lord for our saviour Rita Ora.

Wow, so Rita Ora did actually release her second album in the end.

 

I kinda didn't believe that would happen until I saw it, she almost became the woman who cried album.

Quite shocked Cheryl is still 99p

Album only tracks on now 101:

 

God is a woman

Close to me

tootime

Out of our heads

Funky friday

Ay caramba

Lost in Japan

Best life

Thunderclouds

 

Also this week is so dead for new stuff 😭

Team Rita this week :heart: :heart:

I am pretty shocked by this aswell, Probably cost her not staying top 40 this week not making it 59p.

I imagine the lower price along with x factor maybe of give it the extra sale boost to stay top 40 even if it was low 39/40.

Of course I don't know how far behind she is from being in top 40 sales wise but am sure being 59p instead of 99p could of only of helped its boost.

 

I mean I don't like the song at all but I don't mind Cheryl, But you'd think her label would be a little smarter seeing it drop out top 40 of the official charts after just the one week.

I think she's got promo lined up the end of the month so maybe it will be lowered to 59p next week, I think that maybe a little to late to bring it back top 40 at that stage but we will see.

96. The Streets - Call Me in the Morning (feat. Chip & Grim Sickers)

408. A$AP Rocky - Sundress

433. Daniel Boys - Christmas Lullaby

1309. Earl Sweatshirt - The Mint (feat. Navy Blue)

Shallow should stay top 5 with such a weak release schedule for a while. What a smash (until it hits ACR obv)!

It's so sad to see we're well into Q4 and the release schedule is looking so weak in terms of future hits.

really hope Tom Odell can get a hit out of Piano Man!!!! come on Tom, last this year!!

94. The Streets - Call Me in the Morning (feat. Chip & Grim Sickers)

105. Adelphi Music Factory - Javelin (Calling Out Your Name)

 

379. A$AP Rocky - Sundress

939. Claire Richards - My Heart Is Heading Home (This Christmas) [Radio Mix]

 

Love Tom’s version of Piano Man!

I actually can't remember such a dead week for new releases!

Theres not even any big musical guests on Strictly/ XF to shake things up - Rod Stewart and 2 off of ABBA :lol:

Tom Odell is #1 now!!

yay!!!!!! so happy for him

Never saw Tom Odell coming, but I think he probably be overhauled by Jess Glynne over the weekend. I see Ariana has dropped a fair bit on Streams, so I reckon Christmas #1 for her is out of the equation, it can be anybody, its there for the taking unless something big drops between now and Christmas. At a push I would say top 15, for Tom at the moment, really depends how far he drops over the weekend.

So songs manage to get to #1 on iTunes with absolutely no pre-discussion/hype on here, really shows what iTunes has come to :lol: Great to see Tom Odell at the top though, even if it isn't If You Wanna Love Somebody :(

I imagine when Ariana drops the music video (She's been teasing alot on twitter) it may boost streams again, Whether or not be enough for her to hold out to Christmas I dont know. But now video streams are counted to sales I think sales off the video views will give her an healthy boost, How long that boost last for I don't know, I would imagine the video to get big views though.
