Yeah, I think ATF’s only chance really is for Kate to decrease this week and go to ACR and for them to overtake Harry naturally and grab a week at #1

but if Kate Bush decreases this week and goes to ACR

then the next week is the Strange Things finale episode, which should catapult the song back to >1 million streams a day again

so the song could get reset once more, right?

I'm not sure wether OCC would grant RUTH another reset in that scenario. There is no precedent as far as I know for a song being manually reset and then generating enough of an increase to qualify for a second reset.

BANNERS - Someone to You got two manual resets so no reason why it technically couldn't get one (but whether the panel would agree it needs another reset is a different matter now it has the #1 peak)

but I guess that if it's been granted a reset, it can get an automatic reset if it increases by 25%

with the reset it got, it escaped the 3 year old rule

^ afraid not, 3 year rule is back in place as soon as it's back on ACR

wow so thats a brutal rule, so you can get a reset but if you decrease for 3 weeks then you're back to eternal ACR forever (unless the label reapplies)

Yet more evidence that the ruling which moved Perfect to instant ACR (as soon as it reached 3 years since its reset) was made up on the spot.

I've got an update that's a week out of date - not really any point typing up a full thing though. As of Kate Bush's first week at #1, Kate was on DCL-1, Declan McKenna's Brazil was on DCL-2, and nothing else was on any amount of declines - SCR, ACR already, or 1ST 6 where a decline doesn't matter if one occurs.

 

Will post a full update if I get a more up to date one x

Brazil has avoided ACR, so assuming Running Up That Hill declines again this week (as is looking likely), it'll be the only* song to go to ACR in the 3 weeks since it got reset.

 

*unless there are some surprise rule changes coming

From what I can see the only song that went to ACR this week was The KID LAROI - Thousand Miles.

^ as per my post above, Thousand Miles is on one decline maximum!

But wouldn’t Flowers and Big Energy be on ACR as they are constantly moving downwards and not mentioned on the predictions

It's based on whether songs increase or decrease in streaming. The market was up 6.41% on the week Joseph mentioned, but any song which increases in streaming, even if only by 0.01%, avoids ACR - and that would have applied to a number of songs which increased by much less than the market that week, which I suspect included Flowers despite its 25-32 drop.

^ as per my post above, Thousand Miles is on one decline maximum!

 

Ah ok. I didn't see it in Mondays update. Maybe it just naturally dropped off from 75. Could sneak back in on Friday maybe.

No update since may ouch Joseph must really struggle getting any info

Well basically almost everything in the top 40 increased this week so everything is on either SCR or ACR. No changes in the top 40 except for possibly Metallica as their sales this week are very close to their real sales last week so they might actually have decreased and so be on DCL-1. Also Flowers and Happier Than Ever are probably on DCL-2.

I believe all the songs that went to ACR last week (Go, Peru, 2Step, Spaceman, Je M'appelle, She's All I Wanna Be, Anyone for you (Tiger Lily)) actually increased this week, not that much of a surprise as the streaming market increased by 4.8%.

Dandelions also increased (overall according to MW) so could have another 3 weeks in the top 75...

 

 

 

 

 

 

edited to add songs that went to ACR last week who increased this week

That's very impressive for Ruth. I'd have thought with her sliding down she'd be on ACR a month ago or something.

Kate Bush was the top 15 exception that didn't increase. She is still the biggest seller, but has been ACR the last 2 weeks - though probably won't be next week as she was only around 1,000 ahead this week.

JoJo also decreased but is less than 6 weeks old (as are any decliners this week not already mentioned in the top 40).

^ looks like after weeks of people thinking 'RUTH' was referring to Ruth B. we now have a case of the opposite of that :lol:
