Also not forgetting a sexually explicit song about female arousal also went to #1 (WAP) 😂 just shows the public really don’t care about stuff like that.

WAP isn't really in the same league imo

This is also the same country where a slutshaming song went to #1 (Body). The public have no taste or morals really when it comes to consumption.

 

How is Body a slut-shaming song?

How can a song about harassing lesbians be #1? #disgusted

 

Whilst the song is distasteful, the target audience for Drake is teenagers, who probably are quite into the whole fantasy of a lesbian - straight man threesome - which is the main focus of the song. They're probably not sat their contemplating the sexual harassment undertones,

I'm not sure I'd say 'Body' is "$l*t-shaming" as such, but it is definitely grossly misogynistic at the very least.

It isn't.

Yet if a woman writes the same song about a man, it would be 'female sexual empowerment' :rolleyes:

Would never understand that fantasy. Straight men have no chance there. Can you imagine a straight girl singing about a threesome with two gay men? Ridiculous. :wacko:

The Spotify daily charts are out too

I'm sure songs about that are out their somewhere, as a surprising amount of women having the same illogical fantasy - there's definitely songs about a woman turning gay men straight which as about as logical.

 

The point of fantasies is they don't need to exist in reality or make much sense....

#44 ABBA - Don't Shut Me Down

 

Looks like it'll drop out the top 50 this week.

 

#49 Elton John, Dua Lipa - Cold Heart

 

Would have thought it might have got a bigger boost from being added to top 50

Drake stabilising well with Girls Want Girls back up to 580k, 200k ahead of the main version of Bad Habits. Could still be close for #1 maybe with the Spotify lag.

 

ABBA 44 and 93 :mellow:

Girls on 580K

Bad Habits combined 377+71=448K

No Girls Aloud at all is really disappointing :( At least one song doing well would've been nice.

guess some GA track must be just outside the top 200, probably harder than usual to go top 200 with 25 Drake and 25 Kanye tracks

Drake - Girls is on nearly 3 million streams for the week on Spotify, Ed combined on 1.8 million

on this data alone Drake should be 20K ahead of Ed but alas...

if Bad Habits is #1 on Friday I'd ask for some receipts if I were Drake's label :D

^ I can’t quite see how your numbers add up there - 1.2M difference is 12k sales max?

 

Of course Drake’s huge first Spotify day might have included a higher than usual proportion of free streams and a higher than usual number of >10th play streams which wouldn’t count.

Not sure where you got 20k from lol, just based on that number of 1.2m streams ahead on Spotify Drake would be ~8k chart sales ahead (assuming an average ratio of 150:1, though Drake may likely have had a higher proportion of free streams), and those 8k chart sales have clearly been mostly made up by Bad Habits' higher sales, Amazon, Deezer and YT figures.

Have Girls Aloud been placed on any big playlists or promoted prominently following the (devastating) news?

 

I wasn't expecting them to appear if not unfortunately. :(

Ed does also have other versions outside the top 200 for what it's worth (would normally assume these to be getting fairly negligible numbers but the Meduza remix actually did go top 200 in its own right at one point) while Drake only has one version so the gap is smaller than it appears.

They had "celebrating Sarah Harding" on both Spotify and Apple Music promoting the This Is Girls Aloud playlist!
