February 27, 20233 yr Even though Die For You is ahead of Kill Bill on Spotify, I'm guessing it's behind of Kill Bill on other platforms. Edited February 27, 20233 yr by daniellovesmusic
February 27, 20233 yr Nice jump for Freya there. Probably unlikely it'll reach top 40 but top 50 would still be fine for it considering. 'When I Was Your Man' 42 :o mad to think that's 10 years old now!
February 27, 20233 yr Nice to see a small gap between Miley and PP. I hope the latter can close the gap and hopefully overtake by Friday
February 27, 20233 yr Lionheart goes to ACR after moving 18-23-24-24-28-27 in the last few weeks. Must have registered a very small streaming increase the week it moved 23-24, otherwise it would have gone a week or two earlier and opened up a Top 40 spot for... you know who :( Anyway, great to see a big climb for Freya!
February 27, 20233 yr I just hope a new song doesn’t miss the top 40 so WIWYM can re-enter Edited February 27, 20233 yr by Hadji

February 27, 20233 yr From James Masterton 11. Feb.: Presenting now the most extraordinary WTF moment of the week. What, you may ask, is George Ezra's summertime hit from 2022 Green Green Grass suddenly doing back in the Top 20, rocketing to No.19 after an ACR reset? Well, you might regard it as being all down to the current fad, beloved of TikTok creators, for sped-up versions of pop hits. Because if you try hard enough anything sounds good when recast as a performance by Alvin and The Chipmunks. Sped-up mixes of songs are nothing new, Saint Jhn spent weeks at the top of the charts in the spring of 2020 with a version of Roses played in double time, but George Ezra this week arguably becomes the first mainstream act to fully embrace the craze. So yes, Green Green Grass is back in the Top 20 following the official release this week of a sped-up version, one which the kids predictably enough have gone nuts for. The effect is, frankly, astonishing as it turns the already whimsical ballad into the Happy Hardcore track of your nightmares. All it needs is a guest vocal from HP Baxxter and the effect would be complete You'd like to think this is the apex rather than the nadir of a trend. It all has strange echoes of the brief trend for Candlelight versions of pop hits that raged fully 20 years ago.

'When I Was Your Man' 42 :o mad to think that's 10 years old now! Yes 44 is amazing, top 50 would be brill this week then fingers crossed Radio 1 & a proper boost on Spotify would be great to get it into top 40 the or two after Edited February 27, 20233 yr by Karma
February 27, 20233 yr Great to see the brilliant Pelican West by Haircut 100 at No.44 on the album chart. Worth buying it's a great album! Is it a vinyl release? Always love the band on TOTP repeats!
February 27, 20233 yr 1/3 songs staying in the top 100 for Gorillaz would be incredible, even if it’s just ‘Cracker Island’ I would be happy as it deserves to chart!
February 27, 20233 yr Excellent start for Gorillaz, Cracker Island is 20 units away from outdoing the entire first week of their last album, which opened with 15,343! :cheer: Edit: The Now Now debuted with 16,535 back in 2018. So they're on pace to have their biggest opener in 6 years! Edited February 27, 20233 yr by indiekylie
February 27, 20233 yr Great to see some Gorillaz impact on the singles! However, i'm a little underwhelmed on album sales...Was hoping for 20K sales after all the promo and a successful singles camapign.
February 27, 20233 yr they've already matched the 1st week sales of their last album so that's the opposite of underwhelming
February 27, 20233 yr Was hoping Freya would be a cert for the Top 40 this week with the boost from Graham Norton, 99p signed singles and the Top 10 visibility on iTunes.
