I only just saw Tom had a chance at #1, didn’t realise he’d even released a single!! Incredible times :lol:

 

If Lad Sausage Roll guy can get two #1s, surely Tom can secure the top spot :(

Sales collapsing by over 80% in one day? Oof

 

I think it'll still hold on but that'll probably now be more reliant on it having a final day push than I thought x

Is Sawayama top 100 yet? I noticed she was doing exclusive UK vinyls. Only 500 but I assume that would be enough to get her charting if people bought them. I was expecting a Top 40, shame if she even missed 100. Excellent album.

Has Rina had any mainstream exposure beyond one song making the Radio 1 C-List? I'm not really sure where people were getting expectations for her to chart from, I get the sense she's pretty much entirely unknown outside certain Internet circles.

 

Maybe slightly surprising that she wasn't even top 100 in the mids from whatever fanbase she has but I definitely wouldn't have predicted her to be top 40.

I had no idea who Rina was until I seen this thread but I’m gonna check the album out based on the strong reviews it’s had on here.

 

She might be someone who takes off after a televised performance somewhere though isn’t what got Christine & The Queens more exposure.

Shame we’re not still in the physical era as I wonder what the charts would be like if we were still in the physical era

That's a good point tbh, has 'XS' had any playlist exposure on Spotify? It seems to be doing nothing despite the (obviously not that good) airplay.

 

She's basically done an MNEK with this album :(

You'll Never Walk Alone has 61.7k so far and Blinding Lights 43.0k. Not quite as low for YNWA as the OCC made out in the article then!

From Music Week online -

 

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in, and Michael Ball & Captain Tom Moore's NHS charity single remains on course to enter the chart at No.1.

 

The duo's version of You'll Never Walk Alone has sold 61,683 units so far to hold a commanding lead over The Weeknd's long-running chart-topper Blinding Lights (43,042 sales). Saint Jhn's Roses (32,860 sales) dips one place to No.3.

 

There are two other new entries in the Top 20: You Taught Me What Love Is (17,083 sales) by Beth Porch at No.11 and I'm Ready (12,821 sales) by Sam Smith & Demi Lovato at No.20.

 

In the albums chart, Gerry Cinnamon looks assured of his first No.1 with The Bonny (25,729 sales), while Enter Shikari are set for their highest-charting LP with Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible (10,346), which is new at No.2.

 

Reigning No.1 Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa drops to No.3 (5,884 sales) and there are new entries for Blame It On Baby (No.5, 2,998 sales) by DaBaby, Earth (No.7, 2,873 sales) by Radiohead's Ed O'Brien under the name EOB, Goat World (No.12, 2,293 sales) by Nafe Smallz and Marillion's Script For A Jester's Tear (No.15, 2,083 sales).

TALENT WON

thats more like it but if they didn't even do 4K yesterday while doing 6 times more than the Weeknd on iTunes,

it means today they probably even did 2k (they're doing just 3 times more than the Weeknd)

so unless they do a final push, The Weeknd could easily catch as he's doing nearly 9k a day and has the extra day of missing streams still to be added

Dropping to 4K sales daily for Ball/Tom!

I agree Ball/Tom need an extra push imo!

She's never made the top 200 on Spotify with any song and most likely hasn't ever even come close to it judging by the fact her only charting song on Apple Music is at #875.

 

I wouldn't compare this to MNEK, his failing to even go top 100 was a lot more surprising considering he had had commercial success before that. I think Rina is in a similar boat to someone like Kim Petras who similarly seems like a pretty big artist if you look in the right places on the Internet but at the end of the day she just isn't widely known enough to actually make any chart impact. (Kim of course also an artist Radio 1 has picked up to give some minor support recently). Maybe this little bit of radio support will translate into them becoming more established names who are able to make a bit more noise chart-wise with their next releases.

is there a chance for Break My Heart going top 10?

I think the missing Amazon/Apple streams from yesterday's update are up to date again now, would explain the sudden boost for Blinding Lights (increasing by 11k in today's update after 6k in yesterday's update) and Ava Max returning to the midweek top 40, so I don't think Blinding Lights will continue to increase at the fast rate we had in today's update.

I'm shocked that Sam/Demi have dropped all the way down to #20 over the course of the week. I honestly thought it was a dead cert Top 10 debut when I first heard it!

 

I wonder if 'Where We're Going' will manage to hang on to the Top 40? It'll probably just miss out I reckon.

is there a chance for Break My Heart going top 10?
