August 29, 20232 yr Yes, these physical releases can and often do get pulled forward to whatever week is most convenient. #justiceforfontainesdc
August 29, 20232 yr I can’t see how Doja will not be #1 this week. She currently has a 130K lead over Olivia on Spotify which is certainly going to grow even more, #1 on Spotify and Apple Music and is selling more downloads currently than Olivia on iTunes. Edited August 29, 20232 yr by Gerald
August 29, 20232 yr RAYE getting a second top 10 this year :cheer: With such a trashy "song". Lol,What with so much great dance music high in the charts the UK public always have to ruin it.
August 30, 20232 yr With such a trashy "song". Lol,What with so much great dance music high in the charts the UK public always have to ruin it. Production is very 90s eurodance though, I have seen it compared to Scatman John by someone on here!
August 30, 20232 yr really cannot see Olivia selling >5K, which she will need for sure or even more considering the lead Doja has on Sptify
August 30, 20232 yr LMAO I actually received an email last night from the OCC saying “Your midweek charts are HERE” and when I click on the link it takes me to last week’s.
August 30, 20232 yr I know it was a bank holiday but the OCC are being particularly snail-like this week aren't they? Even on bank holiday weeks, the midweeks are usually up by this time of the week, right?
August 30, 20232 yr Disgraceful that the Update is not up on the website yet. Talk about not doing your job properly.
August 30, 20232 yr Don’t we normally get Wednesday’s update around 5ish? Joseph said the data for yesterday’s update was from MW so I’m guessing the full chart is up there?
August 30, 20232 yr Don’t we normally get Wednesday’s update around 5ish? 6pm is the Wednesday one, but it’s just top 40
August 30, 20232 yr Olivia now ahead by 5K!!!!!!!! from the OCC FB page: The claws are out, as Olivia Rodrigo could deny Doja Cat of her first-ever UK Number 1 single this week. While Doja took an early lead with her latest track Paint the Town Red earlier this week, Olivia now edges ahead and tracks for Number 1 with vampire in what's set to be its ninth consecutive week on the Official Singles Chart. Less than 5000 chart units currently separate Olivia and Doja, so there's still all to play for in the race for this week's Official Number 1 single. Elsewhere, latest figures suggest we can expect a brand-new Top 10 entry in the form of Miley Cyrus's Used to Be Young this Friday (10), with Burna Boy feat. Dave's Cheat on Me (19) and Selena Gomez's comeback track Single Soon (20) expected to debut inside the Top 20. Edited August 30, 20232 yr by Bjork
August 30, 20232 yr OCC article: ********* Olivia Rodrigo edges ahead of Doja Cat in Number 1 single race Could Olivia claim her third chart-topping single with vampire? By Carl Smith | 30 August 2023 The claws are out, as Olivia Rodrigo could deny Doja Cat of her first-ever UK Number 1 single this week. While Doja took an early lead with her latest track Paint the Town Red earlier this week, Olivia now edges ahead and tracks for Number 1 with vampire in what's set to be its ninth consecutive week on the Official Singles Chart. The first song lifted from Olivia's upcoming second studio album GUTS, released September 8, previously peaked at Number 2 in the UK, while Doja's Paint the Town Red reached its current best of Number 4 last week. Should Olivia stay ahead, she'll secure her third chart-topping track; having previously enjoyed Number 1 success with 2021's drivers licence and good 4 u. Doja, meanwhile, is yet to secure a UK Number 1 single. She boasts four Top 10 tracks to date: 2020's Say So (2), 2021 SZA team-up Kiss Me More (3) and The Weeknd collaboration You Right (9) and - the song in question - Paint the Town Red (4). Less than 5000 chart units currently separate Olivia and Doja, so there's still all to play for in the race for this week's Official Number 1 single. Elsewhere, latest figures suggest we can expect a brand-new Top 10 entry in the form of Miley Cyrus's Used to Be Young this Friday (10), with Burna Boy feat. Dave's Cheat on Me (19) and Selena Gomez's comeback track Single Soon (20) expected to debut inside the Top 20. Who do you want to see at Number 1 this week? Are you Team Olivia or Team Doja? Check out your brand-new Official Singles Chart this Friday September 1 from 4pm on BBC Radio 1's The Official Chart and right here at OfficialCharts.com.
August 30, 20232 yr I assume a gap of “less than 5000” means nearly 5k, in which case I think Olivia should do it.
