This City gonna fall asleep.

God that tik tik track is AWFUL

I kind of enjoy 'Tick Tock', as utterly basic and generic as it is.

Nooo This City gets another play!!!

Death, taxes & This City being played on the Chart.

Edited August 28, 20205 yr by Dobbo

Pity Scott Mills is on radio 2 this week, hes a much better presenter of the chart than Jordan for me.

 

'This City' still love it, glad its getting its 1000th chart show play lol.

are we STILL suffering this even when it's starting to fall heavily :drama: this better disappear soon :puke2:

This Kygo + Tina Turner is such a bad remake.

To tell you the truth, I hardly saw any difference between this remix and the original version... Besides, he distorted Tina's vocals in a bizarre way in some parts and it didn't look good. :unsure:

Quite annoying that This City and Flowers start to fall in positions now, as soon as their likely to hit ACR anyway

Should've played Come & Go instead of this.

Who is still listening to this :zzz:

Tick Tock was all right from Clean Bandit. They couldn't do a Tick Tock in a song like Madonna did in '4 Minutes' or Gwen Stefani in 'What You Waiting For'.

Would’ve liked to see Come & Go be a much bigger hit than it was. Still a bit of hope for Wishing Well to pick up though

Just seeing ROM chart run there, seemed to fall very fast after a huge opening 5/6 weeks, an example of ACR coming too quickly if that's possible in 2020.

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - iTunes

Just seeing ROM chart run there, seemed to fall very fast after a huge opening 5/6 weeks, an example of ACR coming too quickly if that's possible in 2020.

Except ACR didn't come "too quickly" - the track had already peaked, so ACR was used for its exact purpose! ACR isn't stopping it being a massive hit, it's just moving it down the chart.

Blinding Lights <3 <3

Looks like Blinding Lights' wont make it until the Christmas rush then. Songs seem to fall quicker once they get to the 25-40 positions now, must be the increase in NEs due to ACR.

Definitely doesn't look nailed on for a year in the top 40 anymore! 16-33 in just 5 weeks.

Can The Weeknd have another hit from his album or has 'Blinding Lights' overshadowed that for him?
