Hope studio killers get top 40 in January

a new Drake single in Jan featuring Ariana wouldn't surprise me, Drake really needs to step up the game after this year's fiasco releases

Hope little mix at least release an album as a trio

There be now 108 now 109 now 110 and now 8 now 9 now 10

There will be multiple Eurovision songs in the top 40, now that the songs are being promoted on the big playlists.

 

Ariana achieves a further 4 number 1 singles

 

RAYE has a big year as a feature

 

 

after the JLS reunion tour, The Saturdays will announce a reunion for Summer 2022... let me manifest this.

Little Mix will fly to #1 if they release a new single as a trio

- 2021 will be closer to 2019 in terms of #1 turnover, with one big song getting to the top just as the last one hits ACR.

- Shane Codd will follow the paths of Joel Corry/Nathan Dawe by releasing another song around March time which outpeaks Get Out My Head, which will get into the Top 10 in January.

- If there is a song for Euro 2021 it will be by someone we've never heard of and will thus fail to chart

- There will be a few more campaign songs which reach the lower echelons of the Top 40 but nothing which will crack the Top 5.

- There will be loads of rumours in January/the summer of an overhaul of the OCCs rules only for nothing to happen.

- Central Cee will be the next big thing in the rap world and easily get a Top 20 with his next single

- And to throw a few more names out there, we'll get Top 10s from Post Malone, Stormzy, Jess Glynne and Dave. Tom Walker will also release new music but won't match the success of his first era.

Songs increasing in BPM because of America’s political shift

- If there is a song for Euro 2021 it will be by someone we've never heard of and will thus fail to chart

I think Martin Garrix is confirmed to be having the official Euro song? He certainly was announced to have the one for this year, before Covid cancelled it. I suppose it'll still be his song come 2021.

Little Mix, will probably do another TV show of the The Search to find a 4th member :D

I somehow doubt they want to be known as the 2010s equivalent of Sugababes in that respect :P They'll continue as a 3 piece for a short while before splitting in a couple of years, most likely.

• The song that goes #1 after ge Xmas #1 will be the #1 song that everyone forgets about in 3 months

• probably a major Joel Corry collab? Maybe with Mabel or something

• Adele will FINALLY release something

• Ed releases something that doesn’t smash as hard as his previous leads

• Little Mix solo projects? Maybe Jade pulls an Ally Brooke and does EDM collabs?

• We’ll see another K-pop act/idol group follow in the footsteps of BTS/BLACKPINK and crack the top 40. Kinda manifesting one of ITZY or NCT to do this?

George Ezra's heavily hinted towards new music next year which is good. Lewis Capaldi's confirmed, as did Ed Sheeran's manager a few months ago

 

Surely one will wait a year or the market will be flooded!!

I don't really see why they would, they're all big enough to hold their own

Similar types of artists for me!

- Joel Corry feat Becky Hill that peaks lower than the rest of his singles so far but still has good longevity. 15+ weeks top 40, low debut Becky style...

- Dave returns with another #1 album or EP and a top 5 single but with no longevity, spending only 8 weeks or so Top 40. Will probably feature a singer like Dermot Kennedy or perhaps someone like J Hus...

- Lewis Capaldi to hop on a dance track like James Arthur and Rag'n'bone Man have in recent years, a potential number one. Could be with Calvin Harris too?

- Ariana to achieve two number one singles and potentially drop another album in Q4 of 2021, however this album doesn't spawn a #1 single.

- Drake to dominate next year like 2018, with a big collab to drop and go #1 alongside a second number one off the back of a TikTok trend. 2-3 top 40 drake features too.

- Ed Sheeran to return, Adele to return, George Ezra to return (all been mentioned)

- Two charity singles to hit #1 in 2021, one will be backed by a big radio station

- Big changes to how the OCC is broadcast on Radio 1, perhaps a new slot or new presenter overall and a few format changes.

- Big year for dance music

- AJ Tracey fails to reach #1 again, same with Mabel...

- 11 week #1 single

 

Artists who will reach #1:

- Ed Sheeran (x2)

- Drake (x2)

- Lewis Capaldi (x2 - one feat one solo)

- Ariana Grande (x2)

- Stormzy (x1)

- Headie One (x1)

- An unexpected legacy act (x1)

- Calvin Harris (x1)

- Joel Corry (x1)

- Nathan Dawe (x1)

Whoops, so much has happened this year that I'd completely forgotten that he was actually confirmed! In that case I'll revert to my 2020 prediction that it will feature Anne-Marie/someone equally bland and soar into the Top 10.

Dua Lipa will have a #1 single off FN-B Side

 

Rita Ora will release a single around March/April and will flop

 

Beyonce will Beyonce a album

 

Little Mix will release GH by the end of the 2021 and call it quits/hiatus!!

 

Ed Sheeran and Adele will release the same week for a fierce #1 album competition

 

 

 

I suspect a new Kylie album. She's so hardworking, she likes to keep busy and now, no tour to distract her!
