In 2019 this was the week Baby Shark finally reached the UK top 10, a whole year later it's coming back to the top 40 :cheer:

Lol at the resurgence of Baby Shark!

 

That opening for Justin is pretty poor considering the hype around it as lead single for the new album. I am sure it will end up peaking top 5, if not higher. Number one seems unlikely without a UK promo push.

Good to see Kylie holding a steady position.

 

Ed coming for 4 tracks top 30 :cheer:

Looks like Stormzy may just do the double this week finally - Album has been reduced to £4.99 and seems to be ahead of Lewis Capaldi on Amazon & iTunes Best Sellers.

I'm happier to see Shotgun and Baby Shark back in the top 40 than I am to see SYL back in the top 10

Both songs should stay in 2018 where they belong

If only Tones had a slightly bigger increase in streams to be reset and have three more weeks at the top. :(

11 weeks not enough for you?? :blink:

 

IIRC the week it went into ACR, it wouldn't have been #1 anyway.

It would have been back to #1 last week though.

I didn't realise that - I must have missed that in the sales commentary?

To clarify - the week it went to ACR it would not have been #1 even if it was on SCR, but last Friday (when Stormzy was #1), if Dance Monkey was not on ACR it would have gone back up to #1.

It was less than 1% short of a reset. :P

has a “best of the decade” chart/playlist been released? that could explain why shotgun is returning so high

It's back because it got reset to SCR. x

...and because it's awesome.

But yeah, mostly that.

 

it was #50 while on ACR last week

Shotgun was also #1 on Amazon earlier in the week, so might be another Alexa work

No x

 

Alexa playing songs is no different to someone putting on Hot Hits UK and playing the songs Spotify want you to hear so can we stop pls.

As Shallow was the biggest hit on Amazon last year, it's seems to be clear that people who listen to music via Amazon are a bit older demographic and thus might listen to older/different tracks than people who use AM and Spotify.

 

The market share is also less significant.

but actually it isn't, Alexa repeats songs unlike Spotify playlists which plays all songs from a playlist randomly without repeats

I did experiment a lot with Alexa a Lot and a typical session would be:

Last Xmas-Mariah-River-Fairytale-Shakin-Ariana-River-Slade-Brenda-Kelly-River-John Legend-Katy Perry-River

 

thats how River got to #1
