It's his first appearance as lead artist at least, he made a few appearances on Tyler, The Creator's album in July 2017.

That's brilliant! I'm hoping he'll finally have a breakthrough soon

It surprised me that Loving Is Easy didn't make it in actually, felt a lot bigger.

Doin' Time is higher than the Lana single that's actually on HHUK. Airplay clearly can help on Spotify sometimes!

So Ed might be #1 this week still sadly :/

Depends how the week goes. I imagine DCMA Youtube views will be enough to make up the difference?

Depends how stable they remain, at the moment they have iTunes and a very impressive Youtube view count. It will defiantly debut top three, but I can see the top three being close. I wish they had a higher hot hits uk.

DCMA did like 21 million on Youtube yesterday, it's youtube views are gonna be massive.

But it needs to be constantly over 350k on Spotify throughout the week. It's possible but would bet for #2 debut as of now.

It'll definitely be close but Ed having a very slight lead on Spotify doesn't hand it straight over to him when Ari/Miley/Lana are higher on iTunes and YouTube currently. PLS girls.

YouTube views with give AriLana a massive leg up.

Last week Ed had only "slight" lead on Spotify too and ended up 14k above Aitch on chart.

Ed was also way ahead of Aitch on iTunes, as well as #1 on video streaming compared to #6 for Aitch. DCMA sold double TMBTL yesterday and will likely end up at #1 on video streaming this week.

It all comes down to how well Ari will hold up on Spotify. She’ll be number one if she keeps up similar figures but if she has a sudden decline iTunes and YouTube wont save her as they don’t count for as much.

 

I think she should be fine given how well her previous number ones held up throughout the week.

I hope Ari/Miley/Lana can get the #1 with iTunes/YouTube making up the difference but not convinced their Spotify performance is quite strong enough unless it actually picks up over the week. Should safely be top 2 at least though I'd imagine! Glad they have at least got to debut at #1 on Spotify anyway.

 

Why have D-Block Europe not fallen off a cliff yet xx that aside, a slightly better showing for the Top Boy album tracks than I expected, Dave should be top 40 and Drake might actually chart with his ancient freestyle, ha power ~ (meanwhile in the US 'Behind Barz', a mere bonus track, debuted at #39 while obviously none of the actual songs on the main album are even top 200 lol)

iTunes could make a difference this week, if Ari-Mi-Lana keep selling double than Ed on iTunes, that's at least 5K in their advantage if they're even on streams or Ed is slightly ahead

It's worth noting as well that Ari/Miley/Lana are not doing as well on Apple Music (they're only #14 there, still behind the top version of 'Take Me Back To London' nevermind its three versions combined). I think Ed's lead on audio streams is still pretty significant.

Eek I really hope they can do enough for #1! It's going to be tight.

Excited for tomorrow’s midweeks. Hopefully they have at least a 5k lead

Nice to see Sam Fender doing well but I’d prefer if WWT was ahead of HM

Good to see your not as pessimistic about their chances as you were in the 'Non-Radio 1 Playlist' thread! :P
