May 23May 23 I'm both for and against Ordinary beating Bryan's record- for because it's genuinely impressive how well it's been doing compared to the rest of the competition and would genuinely deserve it in terms of its colossal sales, and against because I prefer Everything I Do as a song and because oldheads will complain about how they've never heard the song and the almost guaranteed articles about the chart being broken because of streaming etc...

May 23May 23 I think I'd be more for him breaking it if he had some genuine competition and was actually in danger some weeks, but it feels more like he had his weeks by default lack of competition, he hasn't exactly had a gigantic week sales wise

Warren's lead and streaming numbers are impressive, but it won't be as impressive if he takes the record because the method of consumption is so much easier for people to do and so vastly different.I wonder if both songs will end up holding the same reputation too lol. Ordinary is the best song on Warren's album and better than Everything I Do, but I wouldn't mind if it similarly goes down as one of the most despised hits of the decade!
May 24May 24 It's all relative though, the method of consumption for all of Ordinary's competition is also "so much easier" so to still take the record in any era would be massively impressive.

Even if Ordinary doesn't take Adams' record, I'd be surprised if something else doesn't over the next 10 years
May 24May 24 Alex may have missed a trick by not waiting 3 or 4 weeks to release 'Bloodline' - if there is a post-Bank Holiday bounce next week that would have given 'Ordinary' an increase on its 12th week at #1 anyway, one more bounce from the new song in week 14 or 15 could have been enough to keep it on SCR to take it past the record! As it is, any immediate new song bounce this week will work against the Bank Holiday dip, meaning both these potential "bounce" effects are cancelled out. It may be different in practice though.'undressed' fell by 1.41% whereas the market fell by 2.46% (and it's nowhere to be seen on the Sales chart), so I think it's still on SCR.
May 24May 24 Personally I don't think it's that deep, if Bloodline is meant to be huge i don't see it peaking week one regardless
