Only a Gaga stan could refer to charting at #44 as smashing :lol:

 

(although I still believe it will go top 40 eventually)

We are on a same page!

Amazing to see Nathan/Ella shoot up to #22! Surely on its way to the top 10 shortly. Great to see Tom Grennan climb up to #26 too

Subwoolfer clinging on at No.67, you feel that could go huge if it went viral on TikTok, I actually expected it to but maybe it feels a bit of a try hard attempt at virality.

Tom Grennan shouldn’t of peaked too late

Kendrick's third song switching to 'Father Time' this week then as that's showing up at #42! Sampha hopefully coming for a second top 40 hit 5 years after Drake's '4422' *.*

Words not top 100 :frankie:

Hold My Hand #44, Gaga queen of charts smashing!

That should go top 40 next week as Top Gun is released on Wednesday

Nice climb for Natella 😉

I was hoping xPropaganda would be in the top 40 but never expected them to be as high as number 2. They will slip down a bit but maybe hold on to a top 10 place. 'A Secret Wish' from 1985 is one of my favourite albums and this new album has the same producer, Stephen Lipson, and they're still on the ZTT label owned by Trevor Horn and Paul Morley. I've heard it once and there are certainly plenty of good moments in there.

Everything Everything snatching another #5 {midweek} *.* ofc they won't stay in the top 10 from there, but that was always gonna be a tough task on a smaller label with almost no radio support

Amazing for Nathan/Ella - think that could end up being a huge hit!

Fantastic physical sales for Harry so far of 43k, impressive for May!

Yeh meant to say that, two great climbs!

I've just realised Propaganda are the group who had a hit with Duel (only reached #21 but for 3 weeks). That's a big return for them.

The Clash haven't been in the Top 10 albums since the 1980s, but it's unclear if they will stay (or go).

Even if Lizzo does overtake Cat which I hope she does, she’ll be kept out of the top 3 again, this time by Harry

Great to see Nathan and Ella get a great jump, really surprised by NDubz doing aswell as they are, great to see their greatest hits on track for a new peak.

Staying in the top 10 will be a tall order for Everything Everything this time (their last album added about 1.3k between Monday and Friday, even if this one does the same that would only put it very borderline top 10 based on the cutoff from last week and most likely it'll do less than that since they're down about 800 units comparing the Monday updates). Time to pray they have some fake cassettes stashed away for later in the week! Good to see them at least still getting a decent midweek position anyway, they seem to have been completely discarded even by Radio 1 now (which is a shame because I don't see why 'I Want A Love Like This' wouldn't fit like a glove on their playlist) so continued high chart positions are only going to keep getting harder, at least they're still serving the quality B-)

 

Would be great if Harry's album can top 100k, certainly looks like he has a chance of doing so if he already has 16k streaming sales from Friday/Saturday (and partial Sunday) and the album still holding up great on streaming. Looks like he has a very strong chance of hanging onto all of the top 3 in the singles chart too! (Anything is better than Cat Burns being there). Kendrick's album looking likely to hold at #2 for a second week - when was the last time an album had multiple weeks peaking at #2 behind different albums? A little disappointing that 'Father Time' isn't top 40 even in the midweeks though, ah well, at least it'll chart somewhere.

 

:cheeseblock: at N-Dubz' greatest hits coming for a big new peak and all 3 of their studio albums resurfacing in the midweek top 100, the impact. Didn't realise that Beach House's physicals came out this week, will of course drop heavily through the week but should be safe to register a chart position somewhere after its digital release wasn't enough to make the top 100, I'll take it. Shame it'll be a big step down from 3 of their last 4 albums making the top 20* as it's a fantastic album.

 

Ooh at 'Mixed Emotions' by Chase And Status suddenly showing up as high as #73, I remember that making some impression on Apple Music on its release a while ago but seemed to fade quickly, I wasn't aware it was resurging. I think that's my least favourite of their singles this year but still pretty good and will be good to see them finally getting another top 100 single, has been way too long since the last (2016) - another one to add to the list of DnB songs charting this year.

 

*their last 4 album peaks being 15-17-145-16, wonder what happened with the one that charted so much lower than the rest?

Eek at those initial sales for Everything Everything. I saw them in Bristol last month at a sold out gig and everyone was loving the new material.

 

The singles so far have also been great, didn’t notice that they weren’t playlisted by Radio 1!

Pretty huge for Harry!

Kendrick's album looking likely to hold at #2 for a second week - when was the last time an album had multiple weeks peaking at #2 behind different albums?

I was going to say KSI - Dissimulation from 2020, then I remebered Justin Bieber - Justice last year had 3 weeks at #2 (it went 2-2-3-2) behind a different #1 on each.
