Have to say I am a little underwhelmed by the Beyoncé performance so far!

 

I’m the opposite. I wasn’t expecting her to be performing quite as well globally as she is. This is a woman 25 years into her career and I cannot name one of her peers from that era doing these numbers. She’s an anomaly in the way that Madonna is and was. This era is proving to me that Beyoncé is going to be around for as long as she wants to be.

 

I think what’s most interesting about BMS is its stability and its potential. The video will only serve to elevate a song like this and I think it has the potential to go massively viral on tiktok. My instinct tells me it’s going to be a definite #1 in the UK in the coming weeks and has the potential to do the same thing in the US. I think the album going to #1 in the UK and US is already a given.

I'm the same. I wasn't expecting it to be as massive as it's been so far. It's already showing signs of growing rapidly on TikTok, which will only serve it well. I'm excited to see how it performs over the next few weeks.

There wasn't really much precedent for what to expect from her numbers as this is basically her first 'normal' lead single release in the streaming era - but that said, there was a lot of hype around this comeback (I even heard it being casually mentioned on Heart FM immediately after it was announced lol) so seems reasonable to have expected it'd have a pretty big debut. It does say a lot that she is able to command that level of hype this far into her career though of course!

Basically just them putting new lyrics to Finders Keepers.

 

This seems to be their trademark now. Can't wait for them to sample Cake By The Ocean.

On HHUK Massive is new at #10 and Break My Soul is up to #5. No Taylor of course. :(

and more bizarrely, HH added Kate Bush now!!!

 

HH really love Drake, with 3 songs now

True and high at number #7! I can see it hanging at number 1 until the huge boost it will get next week anyway from the season finale!

I was thinking she was gonna drop in streams this week but the HH add will probably help her get the 3rd week at #1

 

Drake-Massive has been added to R1's playlist so I guess thats the UK single now

It's also the pop single in the US and WW, so yes. (amazing song, must admit)

Beyonce straight to A-List and MASSIVE to B-List.

Guess better late than never, but kinda weird that Spotify has suddenly realised today that Running Up That Hill was worth adding to their playlist, besides HH they also added it to THH

'Massive' is actually alright. I mean, the production on it is fantastic but the song itself isn't up to much and he sounds bored (as per usual with just about all his recent stuff :( )

Eminem has released a massive single from knowhere and Spotify treat it like its a 4th single from a bloody Hailee Steinfield album. I just don't get it!!

Didn’t you already say this? :P

Nice to see RUTH finally added, the a1 x j1 track is decent, but i'm still put off by the sample being only 5 years old :lol: i do still prefer night away. shame taylor hasn't been added, carolina is gorgeous! hope it can at least get a top 40 placement

Carolina is amazing, but very uncommercial, so I doubt it gets added anywhere

Didn’t you already say this? :P

I put it in the wrong thread :( and need to delete the old one.

So far the only new entries in the Apple top 100 are a couple of Chris Brown album tracks, joy:

 

79 Till The Wheels Fall Off (feat. Lil Durk and Capella Grey)

95 C.A.B. (Catch A Body) (feat. Fivio Foreign)

 

That new Lil Nas X song has been teased for a while so a little surprised to see it's not shown up yet. Then again I've also seen several people saying they were more interested in other snippets so may just be a bad single choice (plus a YoungBoy collab isn't exactly going to be a big attention grab in the UK).

LF System back up to #3 on the daily Spotify chart.

 

Beyoncé has made #19 on the weekly Spotify chart (#14 if you apply ACR and the 3-track rule). The top 3 Drake songs are: #4 Jimmy Cooks, #7 Massive, #9 Falling Back.

 

Kate is on 4,204k for the week, down 7.1% from 4,524k last week.
