53. Royal Blood - Trouble's Coming

 

Lots of MGK pop-punk bangers and Joji tracks, 5 from IDLES

Who’s Joni?

So close to having no Tory Lanez tracks in the Spotify top 200 - 'Money Over Fallouts' is at #172, that is all.

 

Spotify users having morals and taste by choosing to stan Joji's album instead *.* (he has also always done wayyyy better on Spotify than Apple for whatever reason but even so very pleasantly surprised at how many songs he has charted! Hopefully a top 5 debut for his album this week then?)

Who’s Joni?

A musician who used to be Filthy Frank on YouTube, though more popular in his own right now

 

ZAYN at #60 on Spotify is a bit of surprise considering he didn't even go top 200 on Apple. Also 'Head & Heart' is now back at number one on AM

Happy Zayn has a decent-ish start, I really like the song!

Nice to see some new peaks too including:

#6 Looking For Me

#24 Giants

#35 Lasting Lover

(disclaimer: amongst others)

 

Blinding Lights down to #21 so this might be its first day outside the top 20 in almost 9 months - it (re-)entered on 28 Dec

Kylie struggle again

oh only 25 for Travis Scott on Spotify is a disappointment, it’s a lot better than Highest in the Room which effortlessly went top five.

I'm pleased Justin Bieber's Holy is doing very well on Apple Music (#6 today). :P

Ooh, wondering if he could get a new peak this week? :thinking:

The initial reaction online to this Travis song seems to have been pretty negative - mind, 'HIGHEST IN THE ROOM' didn't get a glowing reception either but it was more neutral than outright bad.

 

Still think it is only a matter of time before Travis gets another properly massive hit although it seems very unlikely now that it will be this one.

His best chances are with next album. These loosies are not it.

Ugh, why?

 

I was hoping it'd fall away like 'Yummy' did.

'Yummy' didn't really fall away particularly quickly, it was in the top 15 for 7 weeks.

For the Spotify charts, do they combine different edits of the same song? Kylie’s Magic got just over 300k streams yesterday (across both versions), and I was wondering if those would be split between the 2 versions when looking at the charts. She would need 53k to get into the U.K. top 200 yesterday, and I can easily imagine that at least a fifth of her total would be U.K. streams.

They don't combine them for the Spotify charts

Didn’t feel ‘big’ at all!

The ratio of female to male led tracks in the Spotify top 20 is 2:18. Not a fan of this 🥴. Female pop is really struggling it seems. Midnight Sky should be smashing

On Apple she's at #347 + 1155

 

It's not just female pop struggling, male pop struggles too

and indie does even worst
