I’m not quite sure what people have against the Meghan track - it’s cute. Tay Tay’s had long enough now - happy for Meghan or a Christmas song to end her reign. x

LF and Harry have spent longer so I don't see a problem with her hanging on and not just cause I love the song myself.

LewCap has a new song out on Friday so maybe he could end her reign at the top

oh my at Psycho, can't recall the last time a song got so much support on HH, #1 on their list for ages now even if other songs are doing better like Anti-Hero or Meghan.

 

can't see Anti-Hero lasting much longer at #1 when it's just on 300K now, even with a reset in Jan, which now has nothing to do with 25% increases, it's by label-request... think Lewis could easily do it next week, he's already been pushing it for it like crazy on social media for ages now...

I'd say that's a certainty, Taylor will probably be on <40k by the week after next and he should easily eclipse that.

'Made You Look' would certainly make a far better #1 than the last song Meghan got there with... (I think I like it a little more than 'All About That Bass' as well tbh, I am a little surprised at the amount of ire it's receiving)

 

'PSYCHO' on the other hand really deserves all of the ire and more. Jesus wept if that actually goes top 5 this week. Mariah/Wham! save us x

 

Yay for 'Escapism.' being top 20 today!

I'm not quite sure Taylor will be sub 40k next week already and considering his lead did "only" 56k, I think Lewis could get blocked but that it's going to be a tight fight

I think it depends if he has physical singles, has he?

Rather have the Taylor track than the awful Meghan one. She seriously hasn't evolved at all since All About That Bass has she?

There's no physical singles yet, I wonder if they will drop mid week as part of the campaign for number 1

It wouldn’t surprise me if the physicals drop in a few weeks for a Christmas #1 push.

OCC news flash.

 

Stormzy and Cliff Richard are battling out for this week’s Official Number 1 album.

 

Stormzy leads the charge at the midweek mark, looking set to score a hat-trick of Number 1 albums with his third studio release This Is What I Mean.

 

Tracking for a Number 2 debut, Cliff Richard returns with his festive collection Christmas With Cliff. His first dedicated Christmas release in 19 years – since 2003’s Cliff At Christmas – the record is on course to become Cliff’s mammoth 47th Top 10 solo album, in a recording career that now spans over 60 years.

More like she did evolve and people didn't care for her other music and she's now blown up again by going back to her original sound :kink:

Stormzy will probably be staying number 1 as he will gain more from streaming unless Cliffs team have something serious lined up during the week to get extra sales.

#2 would still be Cliff’s highest charting album for almost 30 years!

Cliff has had a top 5 album in 8 different decades.

 

Incredible stat.

Incredible stat.

 

Even more incredible stat is that there isn't one person in UK who will admit to owning a Cliff Richard album... :D

The notion of a Cliff Richard Christmas album really is the stuff of nightmares. 🫣
