January 31, 20242 yr There's also a BAFTA performance coming, who knows what sort of effect that'll have. Oh yeah that should help a lot might even propel her to #1 if everything aligns with Noah dropping at the same time
January 31, 20242 yr Great to see Megan safely in the top 40 already. Hopefully, she will in the top 25 or even top 20 come Friday. The Ariana Granda multiple version things seems to be a pandemic right now and Nicki minaj released 8 versions of her diss track in response Megan has now done the same and they’re all doing pretty well so probably a top 20 just about in the end I reckon maybe even a billboard #1
January 31, 20242 yr Think she’s got another week there for sure after that teddy swims or benson might start creeping up There's also a BAFTA performance coming, who knows what sort of effect that'll have. Hopefully you’re both correct. I just noticed the gap closing and thought this may be her last week.
January 31, 20242 yr I can't imagine a BAFTAs performance would have that much of an impact on the chart? The Ariana Granda multiple version things seems to be a pandemic right now and Nicki minaj released 8 versions of her diss track in response Megan has now done the same and they’re all doing pretty well so probably a top 20 just about in the end I reckon maybe even a billboard #1 Nicki has been doing this for ages, the tactic was not invented by Ariana! (she's definitely not coming near Billboard #1 with this though)
January 31, 20242 yr I can't imagine a BAFTAs performance would have that much of an impact on the chart? You'd be surprised. Though only 3.8 million watched the BAFTAs last year, the Ariana DeBose "Angela Bassett did the thing" moment went mega viral last year so anything could happen.
January 31, 20242 yr It went viral for being cringe so I'm not sure that's the comparison you want to make :kink:

(she's definitely not coming near Billboard #1 with this though) I think Liam means Megan could potentially get #1 - she's at numbers 2,3,4,5,7 on US iTunes Nicki's at 6 then has multiple versions lower down (Benny Shapiro is of course at #1 cos America)
January 31, 20242 yr Fingers crossed Megan can climb/debut in the top 20 come Friday. With the release of the instrumental and chopped 'n screwed versions of the song today, they should help give some extra sales/streaming to help push her there.
January 31, 20242 yr I think Liam means Megan could potentially get #1 - she's at numbers 2,3,4,5,7 on US iTunes Ah right, yeah I misread that, I'm tired x (I don't think Megan will get the Billboard #1 either though, at least not this week, Jack Harlow had a huge predicted lead).
January 31, 20242 yr Ah right, yeah I misread that, I'm tired x (I don't think Megan will get the Billboard #1 either though, at least not this week, Jack Harlow had a huge predicted lead). It's actually getting quite close between the two now! Megan's trended higher and higher. Initially I thought she wouldn't get higher than #6 but she's now going to at least debut at #2. Whether she debuts at #1 will depend on how many sales/streaming the multiple versions will boost her by. She needs to do at least 30k sales which isn't looking too big of a stretch now. Hopefully her label/team will try some other things to give it even more of a boost! Would be amazing to see her debut at #1 in the US!
January 31, 20242 yr It was the same with Ariana in the US, she was predicted to debut at #2 then the 675 itunes versions made it #1 ;)

I don't see any suggestion of it being particularly close from the usual Twitter accounts I follow for this kind of stuff (at least not yet) but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. Cool for her if she can pull it off though. edit: I did find an Instagram post just now that says she's tracking for #1 from the account @charttracking but I have no knowledge of if they're usually a reliable source or not. It was the same with Ariana in the US, she was predicted to debut at #2 then the 675 itunes versions made it #1 ;) Ariana started from a much closer predicted position to Jack than Megan was at (as far as I've seen).
January 31, 20242 yr Wow at SEB holding on steady ! Pre ordered the single cassette Ah have they done a cassette now too? I only saw the vinyl and CD originally - love that they are going for it!
January 31, 20242 yr The same James Arthur who did this: 6RA8mYs1wYk Not forgetting ripping off The Script's 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved'.
January 31, 20242 yr Come on, Megan Tbee Stallio,!! Straight FIRE!!! Like a 90s hardcore rap anthem :cheer: DON'T come on, Nick, with the worst "song" in a devade!!! :nocheer:
January 31, 20242 yr Met James Arthur today at his signing, he was sooooo nice! Really hope he can get the #1! It was a veryyyyyy busy signing!

Ariana started from a much closer predicted position to Jack than Megan was at (as far as I've seen). Most of the updated predictions are saying Meg is within 15-20 points. Talk of the Charts have now posted as well: @1752835986344583367 Going to be close!

Talk of the Charts have now posted as well: @1752835986344583367 Going to be close! 15-20 points is not really that close, that's about what Ariana's lead over Jack ended up being :kink: (admittedly that is a big improvement from Jack previously being like 100 points ahead of #2, but Megan will still need another huge push to close that much remaining gap). edit: although I see that TOTC post does have a gap of 'only' 11 which is still quite a lot but closer to feasible
