I don't get the hype for Strangers. It's not bad by any means but it's so generic.

 

I'm not sure "generic" is the right word, it doesn't sound like any/many other songs in the chart I can think of.

Good to see Olivia getting a 4th charting track from the album. Shame it’s just short of the top 40 though and a shame it’s not All American Bitch. I actually found The Grudge to be one of the weakest tracks on the album, just found it slightly boring.

Same here - I'd have liked 'Pretty ain't Pretty' as a hit. 'The Grudge' is one of the meh album tracks but obviously it's appealing to some people.

Just saw that Ed Sheeran's latest album is already out of the top 40. Down 33 places to #41 in its 3rd week.

Yeah and I think is the first time Ed Sheeran hasn’t had an album in the top 40 since god knows when cause Divide also dropped to 44

'=' out of the Top 50 for the first time in its 103rd week.

 

'÷' out of the Top 40 for the first time since 2020, and in danger of ending its run in the Top 50 since its debut (currently 346 weeks) even before the Christmas rush.

 

Ed's new material killing off interest in his older stuff?
