the effect is very muted even on iTunes, which requires like 3 sales to see an effect

 

Shotgun maybe sold 100 copies yesterday yay, so unless there's a streaming effect...

I wonder if some of Kate's other hits will re-enter due to RUTH. I know some of them are re-entering the top 100 on itunes but not sure if they're doing well anywhere else

not really, I think I've seen Wutherings Heights re-enter at like #199 on Spotify for 1 day but thats it :/

Styles will remain at No 1 with Sam possibly overtaking Kate for runner up

I'd love if Kate could get the number 1 but it's probably unlikely.

IF Kate Bush does get to #1 am I right in thinking she would be the oldest ever female to have a #1 single (and fifth overall after Tom Moore, Tom Jones, Louis Armstrong and Elton John)?

First Look in less than 15!

Oldest female to get to #1 is still held by Cher I believe (no pun intended) so Kate would take that title.

I'm hoping Lizzo is no. 1 today.

What age was Cher in 1998, 58 or so?

Gone 1 new entry

Hottest Record: Post Malone feat. Doja Cat - I Like You (A Happier Song)

Is there a chance Kate will be No1 today!?

Is there a chance Kate will be No1 today!?

 

she's ahead of harry on apple and spotify (by a decent lead) so she could, but i think the acr cap will stop that by friday i reckon. i think she'll be at #2 on friday if she holds up

20 Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa & Young Thug - Potion

I can’t see Kate getting there without a re-set, even in First Look (though her downloads will help for First Look)

wow at potion already falling. I know it was never going to be as big as one kiss, but i thought it would at least spend a week inside the top 10!

Oldest female singers to top the UK singles chart ( years / months )

 

52/5 - Cher- Believe ( 1998 )

50/8 - Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You ( 2020 )

49/8 - Madonna ( with Justin Timberlake ) - 4 Minutes ( 2008 )

 

Kate Bush is 63 years and 10 months old so would smash the record if she tops the chart this week.

The new tracks are bound to fall, to let tracks from the Jubilee concert to creep up a bit further.
