Yeah I was totallly shocked, I guess it appeals to casual listeners who like hearing the 'big hits' but it kinda destroys the argument that this rushed chart format is to make the chart sound less stagnated.

Compared to back in 2016 when most new entries never got a play and we had to put up with basically the same 25 songs every week this format is absolutely amazing.

Biography

 

In 2016, Khalid Robinson was voted Most Likely to Go Platinum by his high school class. About a year later, he proved them right. A military kid, Robinson split his childhood between Georgia, Kentucky, upstate New York, and Heidelberg, Germany, eventually settling in El Paso, Texas—a pattern of dislocation that often made him feel like an outsider. Self-described as “an awkward teen,” he picked up songwriting primarily to stave off loneliness, sharing music through SoundCloud and quickly catching the ears of both his peers and the industry. (His breakout single, 2016’s “Location,” was recorded during spring break of his senior year; a few weeks after it came out, he won Prom King; within a couple of years, the song had sold more than five million copies in the U.S. alone.) In 2017, he released American Teen, a celebratory but bittersweet mix of synth-pop and neon-lit R&B that garnered five Grammy nominations—proof that you’re rarely an outsider alone. In between, Robinson featured on high-profile collaborations with Logic (“1-800-273-8255”), Calvin Harris (“Rollin”), and Normani (“Love Lies”), among others. An EP, Suncity, arrived in late 2018, opening with audio of Khalid being given keys to the city of El Paso—not bad for a kid who’d moved there only a few years before. Reflecting on his evolution from spectator to artist for Apple Music’s Up Next series, Robinson said, “I would sit in this apartment, I would look at the mountain behind me, I would watch all the lightning, and I would listen to music. I was like, ‘You know what? I need something to help me a little bit more.’” So he took it on himself and started to write. - iTunes

This is quite dramatic - they've played a mix of fresh music and big hits so far, both of which are what the chart is about. The AJ Tracey track dropped 9 places this week, while One Kiss is an established hit still slaying almost a year on. I'd be thinking differently if AJ Tracey's track were a new entry, but it's a big dropper this week instead.

 

(same rules don't apply for new entries involving 6ix9ine, they can skip him all they want)

 

I just prefer the longer chart format, I always have and it's not exactly impossible for Radio 1 to bring that format back.

His first solo hit was 2011 though

 

I was talking with N-Dubz as well which were in the later noughties

Another boring song from Khalid, what's new?

 

His only song I like is the Marshmello collaboration.

Radio 1 will always favour their own playlist when playing songs in the top 40. If i remeber right one dj that filled in for scott totally refused to play Baby Shark because he didnt like it, so im guessing that the prsenter may decide sometimes or its all down to the producer.
I certainly would welcome a return to a full top 40 on Radio 1 but I really don't see it happening, even though they found a relatively effective solution to stagnation in the charts through ACR.

Biography

 

With a versatile approach that focused on fluid freestyles as well as melodic hooks, rapper Flipp Dinero caught the attention of the industry early on. Born and bred in Brooklyn, he spent his early years skateboarding and singing in a local choir. He started rapping at age 15 and by his early twenties was contributing features on other artists' tracks. These early features caught the attention of established rapper Joey Bada$$, who parlayed a deal for Flipp Dinero with his label Cinematic Music Group. In 2017, he released the singles "I Do" and "Running Up Bands," highlighting his unique delivery and gift for melodies. He followed in June the same year with the debut mixtape The Guala Way. 2018 singles "Leave Me Alone" and "You Know It" continued this hot streak, with more listeners and fans tuning in with every new release. - Wikipedia

Younger flopped with his single featuring Jess Glynne

but is having a hit now thanks to Dappy :)

 

dappy >>>> Jess Glynne :D

Edited by Bjork

Dappy new year a month late!!

 

Not fussed on the song on first listen but quite amazing that he's had over a decade lifespan in the charts now.

I've not heard this before but it isn't exactly winning me over.
I just prefer the longer chart format, I always have and it's not exactly impossible for Radio 1 to bring that format back.

 

I think the thing is that most people don't have three hours free on a Friday evening.

'The Fear' and '10 years ago' in the same sentence just makes me feel old. And I'm most certainly not old.

One part of this week's commentary made me feel positively ancient :(
