Some nice weather next week so wouldn't count on it.

Well I did warn yall lol

They need to change the rules in July, they're beyond fit for purpose at this point. Top 40 becoming more and more of a closed shop every year.

    Beautiful Things increasing by ONE sale this week Jesus Christ

  • false alarm re Ddisturbed as somehow they’re still here in the mids (as is Myles Smith)

  • confirmed ACRs this week: Adele ~ Hometown Glory Alex Warren ~ Burning Down AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith ~ Crush Disturbed ~ The Sound Of Silence (RIP)

I sort of feel like if you aren’t doing at least 10k you don’t deserve Top 40 and if you’re doing less than 40k you don’t deserve #1, and it’s not like the thresholds are that high at the moment. In other words it’s the stagnant market that’s the issue rather than ACR not churning the songs quickly enough. “Ordinary” not going to ACR and staying at #1 feels fair really when it’s doing nearly double everything else.

all other charting songs not listed are either on ACR or have fewer than 7 charting weeks

-x-

unceremonious DCL-3s from last week that went ACR earlier than estimated:

Olivia Dean ~ It Isn't Perfect But It Might Be

Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco and Gracie Abrams ~ Call Me When You Break Up

If 'Anxiety' and (one can hope) 'Beautiful Things' did indeed decline last week, they'll both be on DCL-3 now too...?

I'd expect much of that DCL-1 list to dodge next week, with it not having a Bank Holiday like this week.

Sports Car being gone opens up the top 10 as Anxiety will probably drop out either way and maybe even Beautiful things. Probably the other sombr song has a good chance

There’s also a lot of warm weather coming this week, so I would expect most things to have an increase anyway

It’s so frustrating to see some of the fresher hits starting to decline now but the ancient ones that hog the top 10 seem to always dodge. Imagine how good the upper end of the chart would look if the likes of beautiful things, nice to meet you, bad dreams, busy woman, and even ordinary had gone to ACR a while ago when it felt it was due

If beautiful things hit ACR, no doubt Music Week would've brought that up, right? I mean, thats a huge development

You're probably right. Had it been counted on combined sales, it would have done enough: 27,592 -> 25,976 (-5.86%; market -5.63%) -> 25,953 (-0.09% or -23 sales; market +8.01%) -> 25,286 (-2.57%; market -2.01%) - however that middle decline of 23 sales was probably offset by its fall of 18-23 on the Sales chart, meaning since being reset it has now escaped at least twice with a tiny streaming increase when there was a much bigger jump in the market.

Typical Nice to meet you on SCR

But Sports car on ACR :/

'Show Me Love' potentially going to ACR before the 5 other songs in the Top 10 I mentioned in the Sales thread is bonkers.
