Good to see the Pogues showing up already. Looks like it’ll be a stronger performance from them on Spotify than last year. Would be interested to see the comparison in terms of numbers and positions on the equivalent Sunday last year if anyone has the time :)

it would be in doubt if they combined the 2 versions of All Too Well TV though ;)

Clearly the OCC doing some rigging to keep their fave on top :P

 

So pleased by the performance of the 10 minute version. In age where more artists are putting out short songs under 2-3 minutes, this shows people will invest in more lengthy tracks when the quality is this good.

thats true, compared to artists like PinkPantheress who's probably never made a song longer than 2 minutes :)

Seems like people aren't quite as in the Christmas mood yet as last year. Maybe less people stuck at home?

 

Honestly think anyone who plays a Christmas song before 1 December should be shot, but that's just me.

That’s a bit harsh

There was the whole lockdown and social media campaign to celebrate early after a terrible year etc that pushed Christmas songs higher last year

Yikes :lol:

 

Anyway... Benson Boone up to #44 on Apple! :cheer:

The 10 minute version of 'All Too Well' is really defying gravity on Spotify - despite it having the most to lose out of the tracks from the album, it is only down 66k from its first day, which is a smaller drop than 10 of the other tracks from the album (thank you Kworb for actually getting back to updating making this easy to look up). Also a smaller drop than the Juice WRLD song had for good measure. And that is just looking at the raw number of streams it has dropped by, I'm sure it must be holding up better than quite a few of her other songs as well in percentage terms (this is not as easy to look up and I cba to crunch the numbers to confirm xx).

 

...and a day later it's one of only 14 songs from yesterday's top 200 that have actually increased streams today!! (only by <4k but still)

 

People really do be listening to a 10 minute song on repeat (or at least keeping it in rotation for multiple days). I am proud. Now can we make Coldplay's 'Coloratura' as big of a hit too please.

Kanye/André 3000 in at #130 on Apple so far.

I know All Around The World by Oasis holds the record for the longest #1 at over 9 minutes but not sure what the record is for a Top 10 hit, I have a feeling it’s something a lot longer than you would expect though.

someone put out a 40 minute “song” for the bants back in the 90s, to test the limits of the official chart rules.

I think that went top ten too.

Yeah I had something like that in the back of my mind but can't remember the specific example.

 

Still impressive for her to get a 10 minute track into the Top 10 in the streaming era.

wasn't it The Orb?

Ooh a big jump for Imagine Dragons/JID today! Up to #117 from #175.

wasn't it The Orb?

 

That's it- Blue Room by The Orb.

You do realise these are Taylor Swift fans, I can already picture Bjork sitting in a darkened room listening on repeat while throwing darts at a cutting of Ed Sheerans face!

oh my out of all the tracks from Red, HH goes and adds Run ft Ed Sheeran

I wasn't expecting them to add the 10 min version of All Too Well but they could have added the short version

or any of the songs that are doing well on Spotify like Message in a Bottle or Nothing New

 

HH also added Little Mix-No and Tate McCrae-Feel like shit
