I'm sure it was confirmed not long after Band Aid 30 came out that they were not going to do a Band Aid 40. I'd be surprised if they did really, the concept ran its course.

 

Tyler getting that top 40 debut *.* annoyingly the new album appears to be coming out on a Monday though so that'll kneecap his chart impact this era a bit.

 

Yeah he's said he wants to bring back music being released early in the week because he thinks it gives people a chance to really listen to the music instead of just listening passively while partying or whatever on a Friday night. Which, good for him I suppose, charts aren't everything

Geldof has changed his mind apparently according to comments he made this year.

there's also the new Sam Fender comeback single in a few weeks, that could easily be his first #1

 

EDIT: Nov 13

That moment when an artist with one (1) top 40 hit is not immune from being set up for being labelled as a flop for not debuting at #1 x

 

(edit: 2 tbf, I already forgot 'Homesick' existed)

The way it's going, surely we have to consider APT. a contender for next week?

 

Well, maybe. I don’t think K-pop is as big in the UK as elsewhere and the YouTube/physicals will be a lot less next week but the current #1 estimate for next week is only about 40k so it’s definitely possible

Nice appearance for Raye !

 

Surely people are sick of Sabrina Carpenter ? I imagine because Taste is the first track on the album it gets a play every time the album is listened too ! 8 weeks at number one just astounds me ! It’s not a bad song but not worthy of that accolade

There've been much worse songs spend that long or longer at #1, so I'm willing to allow it.

Yeah, like Sprinter last year spending 10 weeks at #1

480k plays on Spotify yesterday would suggest otherwise :P

 

It does make me feel a bit out of the loop that something I find so boringly average has had such popularity for weeks on end. Like I understood why Espresso was big. This I don't.

Lack of huge competition. Plus I really do think the great music video gave it strong longevity for people to listen to the song over & over again.

Tyler, The Creator's 'Noid' is up to #20 on Spotify today and an older song from him, 'BEST INTEREST' is new at #195

Strip That Down rising a lot

Night Changes still top 10

Has APT. dropped today? :(

#6 =

Strip That Down rising a lot

Night Changes still top 10

I wonder if For You his other solo career song that’s been doing well has risen also. Would be nice if one of these two got in the top 40 in the overall chart.

Listened to strip that down today forgot it was an actual banger. Gaga up 10k on last week today do another good day tomorrow and it’ll avoid ACR for sure. Taste had a good run but thank god it’s going ACR

'Strip That Down' is dreadful, but I'd really be here for 'Teardrops' making an appearance on Friday's chart.
