Il be grateful for the song itself, its such a feel good anthem and a song that i have no doubt will remain high on my future rankings of Kylie songs. For me, many of my fave kylie songs are not the ones with the highest chart positions .

Agree guys…think we all appreciate the chart is so playlist dominated that any chart entry is a bonus. This song could have had further bonus weeks too, even top 40, but the bundle balls up couldn’t have been executed much worse…physical dispatches accidentally split over three weeks…obviously that worked for Padam but only because that had unprecedented streaming success.

Looks like hold on to now CD for 2.99 back in stock on her website. Limited to 2 per person.

 

Bit late now BMG lol

 

 

Now sold out again

I think 'Padam' was a clearly executed plan, whereas the HOTN's different formats being split between last week and this week is due to somebody somewhere f***ing up through negligence and ineptitude.

16 on the OCC trending chart haha

 

Tension is 15 lol

I never really understand that trending chart.

It’s a rubbish chart to make artists that miss making the main chart feel better :lol:

I never really understand that trending chart.

 

The Official Trending Chart will rank all tracks which are climbing the Official Singles Chart since the previous week’s chart, ranking the tracks in order of sales / audio streams (100 streams being equivalent to 1 sale).

It will be based on data collected for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and published on Tuesday, three days before the Official Singles Chart is unveiled on a Friday.

The chart will limit each artist to just two tracks each – to prevent the chart from being dominated by multiple tracks from a brand new superstar artist’s album.

It will only count “new” tracks – in other words, tracks which have never been Top 10, which have been released within the past 24 months, and have 52 chart weeks or fewer to their name.

 

This week's Trending chart is:

 

01 YOU'RE CHRISTMAS TO ME - SAM RYDER

02 STAY ANOTHER DAY - JORJA SMITH

03 LEAVEMEALONE - FRED AGAIN & BABY KEEM

04 STOP GIVING ME ADVICE - LYRICAL LEMONADE/DAVE/HARLOW

08 JINGLE BELLS - MEGHAN TRAINOR

09 RUN FOR THE HILLS - TATE MCRAE

10 EVERYBODY - NICKI MINAJ/LIL UZI VERT

11 NEEDLE - NICKI MINAJ FT DRAKE

12 A NONSENSE CHRISTMAS - SABRINA CARPENTER

13 ONE OF THE GIRLS - WEEKND/JENNIE/LILY ROSE DEPP

17 TEN - FRED AGAIN.. & JOZZY

18 FEATHER - SABRINA CARPENTER

This is the first time I've really paid attention to the Trending chart... I didn't realise that it gave midweek positions for lower than Top 100. Which is curious because no lower than #100 is published in the midweeks, or in Friday's chart. So according to OCC, Hold on to Now was midweek #101 - how typical!

 

If you take out all the Christmas songs, the midweek positions of her singles would be:

 

#30 Padam Padam

#38 Tension

#39 Hold On to Now

 

It's a pity that detailed Monday midweek sales weren't shared on SayHey, because it would be interesting to know what the sales are for Padam Padam (actually midweek #79) and Tension (#98). I'm sure if the Hold On to Now CD/Cassette sales hadn't gone towards last week's chart then it would be higher than Padam in the midweeks... but regardless it probably would have struggled to remain Top 100 by Friday anyway.

So if they'd combined everything in one week that isn't rammed with Christmas songs, we'd have been looking another surefire top 40. That is a real kicker.

If BMG try and Kylie try and then the fans try. It worked with PP. But if they don't then fans won't either

And it just shows what we’ve always thought - give us the physicals etc., in one week along with the download/s and the result will be a Top 40, even if it is a 38-97 type of hit.

I hope BMG engage their brains when it comes to how Hold On to Now has done and why it’s done this - and not think “it didn’t go Top 100, it didn’t do as well as we wanted, let’s not bother with physicals next time”

 

However I rather think with them it’s largely about the money and whether it’s made enough to justify producing them. Across all the formats HOTN has surely sold a few thousand, so let’s hope they continue this with future singles. Maybe next time they’ll coordinate it better! :drama:

Itt really is about corordination with the release as we saw with Tension its coordination was pretty much spot on.

they co-ordinated the singles vinyls with the release of Extension and it seems for literally no reason lol

I think sadly BMG will care little for chart position. It'll promote the album mainly over the single (as Kylie did in the ITV live thing) and they know the hard-core fan base will basically buy all the physical formats even without any new content and significant mark up. Pounds in the bank more valuable than a brief appearance on an increasingly irrelevant OCC list I fear...

I agree, it’s just frustrating now Kylie has proved once again she can produce a bonafide hit with PP, and a Top 20 single (Tension) with a well executed plan (physicals, downloads and video on week 1).

 

The fact they had physicals for HOTN and scattered the sales over 3 weeks is just sloppy on their part.

Its frustrating that due to the mess up on the phyisicals that she cant even manage a midweek top 100, really shows how badly they messed it up.

Also the fact we haven’t got a video yet :drama:

 

It’s like they are treating HOTN as a random buzz track with a load of physicals rather than a proper single.
