So impressive for Sabrina. Shame there was nothing like this for emails I can’t send tho, easily her best album and imo one of the best records this decade! So happy for her

WE PRAY is new at #44. So, I can't blame Oasis for missing out on top 40.

Diet Pepsi at 73 :cheeseblock:

42. Alex Warren - Carry You Home (+4)

44. Coldplay - We Pray (NEW)

49. Benson Boone - Pretty Slowly (+4)

Is "Evergreen" by Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners the song that has avoided ACR for the longest amount of time since the ACR/SCR rule was introduced?

Wild to think Sabrina has more weeks at #1 in the singles chart than Taylor Swift now, and it’s all from the same year..

Taste has also knocked Wheels On The Bus by CoComelon off number one on the Video Streaming Chart

I wonder if Radio 1 would have played Travis Scott - Drugs You Should Try It if it was top 40.

Not surprising when she isn't exactly known for long running hits (antihero / cruel summer aside)

There can’t be many female solo artists with more weeks at #1 overall.

 

Madonna ofc, Kate Bush and Mariah maybe?

I've already answered this - yes.

So does Kyla...

Kate Bush?

 

She only has a total of 7 weeks at #1 across two songs.

I just knew the OCC would reset 'Wonderwall' despite their reset "rules". Fantastic to hear 'Live Forever' anyway :wub:

 

And frustrating that this arbitrary reset has blocked Champagne Supernova from charting.

If I counted right, Whitney Houston has 16 and Ariana Grande has 19!

Kylie is on 16. But Mariah is only on 9

 

Shame Dancing In The Dark didn’t survive another week in the top 40

You supported Gigi Perez on your show, Mr Saunders. But you didn't play it last week despite it being an new entry.

 

Pretty sure Jack doesn’t choose the songs he plays on the chart show anyway!

I know the chart's pretty slow at the moment and we're gonna *have* to hear some old hits each week, I'm cool with that, but once again it seems there's a big focus on playing some of the oldest songs in the chart, whilst I expect newer stuff in the #11-20 region will end up being skipped.

 

It’s probably because the charts during drive time so they want songs the general listener can relate to!

Moving the chart to Fridays was a big mistake and it should’ve remained on Sundays

It's the chart, it's the songs the "general listener" has been listening to anyway! :kink: They're always gonna have to play some of the old hits and I think it's totally fair that they do that, but for two weeks in a row we've had all of Stick Season, Beautiful Things, Lose Control, Too Sweet and Happier played, and they're some of the oldest songs in the chart, whilst WILDFLOWER hasn't had a single chart play yet and Somedays has been skipped the last two weeks despite climbing both times. It's not about personal preference - we all know I'd take Beautiful Things over anything else in the top 40 - but surely a couple of those older hits could be substituted out for a couple of the newer songs. The fact it's broadcast over drivetime shouldn't change the chart's ability to shine a light on new, blossoming hits in my opinion.
