May 20, 20196 yr This sudden major success for Tyler, The Creator (after his previous singles chart success was limited to a single #93 hit) is really impressive, I knew he had a bit more hype behind him this time following his last album being Grammy nominated etc. but I'd never have predicted him to do this well with the follow-up especially in the UK. 'EARFQUAKE' is already showing signs of possibly being an enduring hit as well. Aw at The National heading for a very distant #2 in the albums chart when they'd have been an effortless #1 last week.
May 20, 20196 yr Also forgot to say, great to see slowthai's album in the top 10 in the midweeks! Doubt it'll hold on there but he seems to be getting much more critical success than commercial. Nice to see he should get a top 100 single from this too with a bit of help from Skepta.
May 20, 20196 yr Big opening sales for Lewis capaldi. Really happy take that are still top 40 as it's a half a year on the chart now.
May 20, 20196 yr So is lewis looking at a Rag n Bone man level opening? Maybe or just a little below. If i remember correctly, Rag n Bone man had around 70k on the first midweek update.
May 20, 20196 yr Not sure why anyone thought Eurovision tracks would be high up given that other tracks had a 2 day head start on them
May 20, 20196 yr Is Madonna nowhere near the Top 100? After Eurovision she’ll be lucky to be near the top 1000
May 20, 20196 yr Streaming will hammer the Eurovision songs but least keiino and duncan have held up well on itunes and still are.
May 20, 20196 yr I don't get why the UK doesn't stream the ESC songs, in Finland there are 3 in top 40 on Spotify Arcade being #11.
