Great to see ABBA on Hot Hits, Don’t Shut Me Down was always going to click more commercially being a classic pop/disco song with an Agnetha vocal, funny that I Still Have Faith In You had the greater promotional muscle with the video and the vinyl release, but I guess lyrically it more suits the ‘we’re back’ narrative.

Girls Aloud Essentials is #4 on the Apple Music Playlist charts, which is very strong, it’s the only essential playlist in the top 10

ABBA on Hot Hits :o

Still holding out for Don’t Shut Me Down to come for that Top 10 position.

 

Hopefully the Drake numbers continue to fall in the next update as people realise he has released a load of old tosh for the second time this year lmao.

ABBA added higher than Little Mix on Hot Hits is quite the surprise after how dismissive they were on New Music Friday! (Not that either of them are super high).

Nice to see Spotify finally recognising their popularity in the UK, even if it's been somewhat forced by the track hovering around the Top 50 - which they didn't particularly expect going by NMF treatment.

 

 

Interested to see if any Girls Aloud songs show up today, I really hope so!

Drake's songs keep falling on Spotify, he still has top 2 though

ABBA'S Don't Shut Me Down is back up to #38!

 

I'm not too surprised as I've been seeing it used loads on TikTok

ANNA'S Don't Shut Me Down is back up to #38!

took me a while to figure out ANNA were ABBA ;)

Girls Want Girls down to 523K today, unbelievable it was on 1.125 million 2 days ago

 

Heat Waves up tp #14

Hang in there Don’t Shut Me Down! :cheeseblock:

Yep... Still enough for #1 on Friday I guess, just because of the opening day.

I still think he’ll comfortably be #1 ahead of Ed on Friday, that’s the 3rd day in a row he’s been ahead of him on Spotify now plus still ahead on Apple. With Girls Want Girls also added as track #1 on HH now.

Nowhere near fast enough though.

There are ABBA Spotify ads on billboards so I expect them playlisting them is part of the deal. Though they should be there on merit anyway.

Not a single Girls Aloud song is disappointing :( hopefully tomorrow!

ABBA!

if ABBA have a deal with Spotify they should complain or ask for they money back :D so far zero support on day 1 with low placing on NMF

and only added to the middle of the HH playlist today... they are not on TTH either...

Same old story, Spotify probably think like Radio 1 that ABBA are just a veteran act and won't appeal to a younger audience. Nonsense but older acts always get snubbed by the industry eventually. Even Madonna & The Beatles got snubbed by radio, Cold Heart is near the bottom of Hot Hits despite doing very well and probably only been added quicker because of the Dua feature.
