February 28, 20215 yr No, it isn't. It's the chart ruiner of 2021. You're entitled to think this but let's also allow other people to have differing opinions...! (I still think drivers license is great and is thoroughly worthy of #1!)
February 28, 20215 yr As news of a date for the potential reopening of nightclubs landed this week, infectious party anthem ‘Friday’ by Riton x Nightcrawlers propels forward into the midweek Official Chart Top 5. British DJ Riton, Nightcrawlers and social media stars Mufasa and Hypeman continue their unbroken ascent on tonight’s Official Chart First Look. The uplifting house production samples Nightcrawlers’ Push The Feeling On, which became a viral dance craze on TikTok during Covid before entering the Official Singles chart Top 100 seven weeks ago. A steady journey northbound saw it enter the Top 10 two weeks ago, peaking at Number 7 on Friday. Up a further four places over the weekend, Friday is now poised to enter the Top 5 for the first time this week, currently riding at Number 3 after 48 hours. Meanwhile, reigning Number 1 Olivia Rodrigo looks set to hold on to her chart crown for an eighth week straight with Drivers License. Elsewhere, TikTok star Nathan Evans climbs one place midweek with viral sea shanty Wellerman (2), with 220Kid and Billen Ted on remix duties. Big climbs for ATB, Topic and A7S’s Your Love (9pm), up four places to Number 11 midweek, and Ava Max’s My Head & My Heart, up eight spots to 17. The highest new midweek entry comes courtesy of West London rapper Digga D with Bluuwuu (19), closely trailed by Joel Corry’s self-proclaimed “baby-making banger” BED (20). Source: OCC
February 28, 20215 yr No, stop drivers license. A new no. 1, please. I with you that one clear out half top 10 then bee happy 3 week row just bored
February 28, 20215 yr Thankfully I've only heard it in full once or twice, but drivers license is truly dull for me I argee.
February 28, 20215 yr I absolutely don’t get Drivers License either - clearly it deserves its long number one run but I’ll be happy when it finally departs. although I don’t particularly like the prospect of Wellerman going number one either so hopefully something else comes along soon.

Which is due to go to acr first? Could Wellerman fluke a week or 2 at number 1 if Drivers License goes to acr before it
February 28, 20215 yr The first week DL is on ACR (unless there will be remix next week) is the week starting 12th of March. Bieber will probably release his next single then as the album is out on 19th.
February 28, 20215 yr Olivia better get on that phone to Drake or Cardi and work on that remix. Tbh if it was the USA charts that had the UK rules of ACR from week 10 she probably would to extend her no.1
February 28, 20215 yr The first week DL is on ACR (unless there will be remix next week) is the week starting 12th of March. Bieber will probably release his next single then as the album is out on 19th. Bieber's rumoured to be releasing a new single on 5th March (and he's not come close to a #1 debut for ages so I wouldn't be expecting him to contend anyway)
February 28, 20215 yr Sorry give everyone headache I’m just charts getting annoying late hearing same songs in top 10 3 week really does re fresh
February 28, 20215 yr Has there not been an ACR update from friday’s chart? Or have I just missed it No update as we don't have the info I'm afraid (they're not guaranteed weekly)
February 28, 20215 yr Bieber's rumoured to be releasing a new single on 5th March (and he's not come close to a #1 debut for ages so I wouldn't be expecting him to contend anyway) He is capable of doing 35k though, and that might be enough even.. But anyway, if it's the 5th, there will also be Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak's project.
February 28, 20215 yr Which is due to go to acr first? Could Wellerman fluke a week or 2 at number 1 if Drivers License goes to acr before it This is what I was thinking as well, as long as 'Wellerman' remains the closest competition and providing there is no remix trick or similar then it could finally reach #1 when 'Drivers License' gets hit by ACR. Although as much as it's my favourite track in the Top 10 atm, I would actually prefer something new (ideally not from one of the usual suspects) to ride straight to #1. I would have backed 'Calling My Phone' if I didn't find it so dull and forgettable.
February 28, 20215 yr I'd be here for 'Wellerman' fluking a #1, just please don't let 'Friday' do that, would be the worst non-charity #1 for quite a while. Would not mind if Olivia just manages to swerve ACR and hang on a bit longer if there's nothing coming to legitimately beat her in the next few weeks though xx
February 28, 20215 yr He is capable of doing 35k though, and that might be enough even.. But anyway, if it's the 5th, there will also be Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak's project. Maybe but 'Anyone' only opened with 21,327. I imagine this next single will have higher opening sales as the overall singles market was really down when 'Anyone' was released, but maybe not enough for #1. Edit: 'Holy' also only debuted with 27,148.
February 28, 20215 yr Wellerman is a lazy novelty song IMO, unpopular opinion I know - I hope it doesn’t get to #1
February 28, 20215 yr It is literally just a cover of a sea shanty, it wasn't created with the intent of being a hit single, just a bit of fun on TikTok. (Unless you mean the remix of it is lazy in which case fair)
February 28, 20215 yr I'd be here for 'Wellerman' fluking a #1, just please don't let 'Friday' do that, would be the worst non-charity #1 for quite a while. Agreed, the nadir of dance music right now :(
