January 23, 20224 yr No because Peru is actually a bop and I appreciate the turnover of #1 and if Ed Sheeran hadn’t spent half a year monopolising the #1 position I would be nothing but delighted about this. I just pray that against all odds that gross cheese fest that is apparently due a Taylor Swift remix doesn’t go to #1!
January 23, 20224 yr is ed sheeran the worst thing to have happened in the charts or not yet? Not yet - it’s still Westlife x
January 23, 20224 yr is ed sheeran the worst thing to have happened in the charts or not yet? Trying to think of another act who have aimed for #1 multiple times... I'm sure it'll come to me...
January 23, 20224 yr Not yet - it’s still Westlife x THIS!!! Westshite are still worse, but half a billi Cheesy Fad comes close! The Shéts are in 3rd place, oe maybe that's Drake...
January 23, 20224 yr If Sheeran sinks to a new low of doing a piss poor cover of some MOR 70s shit i'll get back to you on that one. :kink:
January 23, 20224 yr Amazing to see two Meat Loaf tracks in the top ten :wub: even if they probably won't stay there come Friday. How many of them were played on the chart show?
January 23, 20224 yr Wow 3 new number ones this month, what is going on?? I'd like to think it was a sign the tide was turning enough to return us to a comfortable middle ground where #1 turnover was concerned but it's probably just a blip.
January 23, 20224 yr Amazing to see two Meat Loaf tracks in the top ten :wub: even if they probably won't stay there come Friday. How many of them were played on the chart show? 2 were played- the 2 that made the top 10
January 23, 20224 yr Was hoping Meat Loaf's third song would be 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', I'm not sure I have ever heard 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad' though tbf! At least the obvious top 2 are both undeniable classics ofc, hope they're (if not all three of them) both safe to be at least top 40 and 'Bat Out Of Hell' possibly with a chance of top 20? 30,000 signed CDs strike again for Ed I expect it'll probably drop off by the end of the week like 'Overpass Graffiti' did but I'd love 'Peru' to be a #1, would be a big moment for the afrobeats genre even if it took a western collaboration to get there. (Of course there have been afrobeats artists/tracks that got to #1 before like 'One Dance' and 'Own It' but I think this would be a first for songs whose lead artist is actually African?) Also 'The Family Madrigal' for top 10 this week please!!
January 24, 20224 yr Hopefully Meatloaf will stay top 20 at least for Friday. Just over 15 years since his last appearance in the chart as well!
January 24, 20224 yr Yard Act have announced two more signings for this week, saying “We can no longer pretend that we don’t want a number 1 album” :lol: looking forward to seeing their numbers tomorrow!
January 24, 20224 yr I don't mind Peru but think it might end up like Overpass Graffitti, which also was #1 in the Sun Mids thanks to the physical, don't think Peru is doing well enough on streams but it all depends on how many intern-signed CDs they have ;)
January 24, 20224 yr If Sheeran sinks to a new low of doing a piss poor cover of some MOR 70s shit i'll get back to you on that one. :kink: I dont remember Westlife doing duet after duet with one the most famous acts during that time and/or pushing for ‘signed’ copies during the week to make sure they get the no1. Also i dont remember westlife getting a no1 and the next week covering the same song with the x factor winner to get 2 no1s with one stone.
January 24, 20224 yr While the Meatloaf effect was very short-lived on streaming, at least Bat out of Hell got 3 days with good download sales on iTunes, hopefully that helps... especially on Friday they were doing like 5 times more than Bruno
January 24, 20224 yr Yeah very true, I think if Meat Loafs 3 songs stay top 40 it would be an achievement. As for the album chart? There could be alot of hes albums re charting, I think he has a big shot at number one. The only thing and most important one at that is can people buy it? The cd,s are out of stock everywhere.
