The expected reversal at the top has happened.

 

Mr B’s Top 40 position is looking pretty solid. Calling My Phone, Mood and Sweet Melody will likely be facing the chop though.

Love these updates - I'm one of the few here that prefer 'Drivers License' to 'Good 4 U' but it didnt last the distance that I thought it would in January.

 

Is 'Happier than Ever' in the top 100 or close?

Thanks for the update!

 

I wonder where "Easy On Me" will end up. I hope it has a chance for top 10. It should get boosts from physical release/TV performance and then the album release in the next few weeks. The album release could give it an insane boost potentially.

 

I also wonder if any of Adele's older tracks might sneak in the top 100. "Someone Like You"/"Rolling In The Deep"/"When We Were Young" being the most likely.

#80 337k :magic:

These may seem like v random questions but are any of these top 100, if you have the necessary data:

 

Wonderwall

Riptide

Shape of You

Another Love

Sweater Weather

Yellow

If any of them make it it will definitely be Someone Like You I reckon as that was a strong legacy streamer even before she announced her comeback.

 

Safe to assume something will knock 'Friday' out of the top 10 by the end of the year right? x

Definitely - Stay will come to the rescue on that one. Heat Waves should replace Wellerman too.

79, 81, 73, 78, nowhere, nowhere B-)

I do think Wellerman deserves to be top 10 as it was huge when released but ahead of ‘Heatwaves’ I’m not sure!

I think all of Easy On Me, Shivers and Cold Heart will ultimately fall short of the top 10 as they would need to reach close to 1m by year end, so Adele would need to average 70k a week and the other two would need to average 60k a week across the whole of Nov-Dec - not impossible but a lot to ask.

Dont think anyone expecting any of those 3 records apart from Adele maybe, to be anywhere near the EoY top 10 tbh. Released way too late in the year and sales climate last month pretty poor.

Sure, only really referring to Adele's chances following an earlier comment. I think Blinding Lights will keep its place in the top 10.

By the way last year the bar at the end of the year was 1 million for Top 10, 600k for Top 40 and 400k for Top 100. It looks like it will be slightly lower in all three categories this year despite overall consumption continuing to rise - perhaps further evidence of the changing demographics of the streaming population.

Thank you so much for providing such information as always!!

 

Other than Own It, are there any other songs for last years Year End top 10 that are still in this years top 100? I noticed that 8 of 2019's YE top 10 carried over to the 2020 YE top 100, and was wondering if this year would see even more?

Song / 2020 position / 2021 position to end of Oct

Blinding lights / 1 / 9

Dance monkey / 2 / 35

Roses / 3 / 83

Before you go / 4 / 71

Head & heart / 5 / 14

Don’t start now / 6 / 72

Rockstar / 7 / -

Someone you loved / 8 / 31

Own it / 9 / -

Watermelon sugar / 10 / 37

 

So it could be 8 again if Roses hangs on, but not more.

Thank you very much!

‘Watermelon Sugar’ doing particularly well as a post album single!

I personally not keen on songs from 2019 or before ending on the EoY for 2021 but that's the world we live in with streaming. And of course ACR doesn't apply to EoY charts.
