February 8, 20251 yr Teddy swims on acr The door yes but bad dreams no Edited February 8, 20251 yr by 777666jason
February 8, 20251 yr 'Bad Dreams' could me making a 4th visit to the Top 10 - I think the only other song to have more than 3 visits without going Top 5 is the Bublé Christmas song which has had 8 visits.
February 8, 20251 yr Freya Ridings’ Lost Without You went top ten four times I think too. I’m ready for a chart shake up this week and rooting for Gaga but No.2 would be brilliant too.
February 8, 20251 yr Kendrick has his Super Bowl performance this week - with 'Not Like Us' being back on SCR already anyway I wonder if there's a chance it might re-peak this week? (Not that the Super Bowl always gives huge boosts in the UK, but then the Grammys don't either and it did pretty well off the back of that).

Kendrick seems pretty creative so I’m sure he’ll find a way to make it big
February 8, 20251 yr Kendrick has his Super Bowl performance this week - with 'Not Like Us' being back on SCR already anyway I wonder if there's a chance it might re-peak this week? (Not that the Super Bowl always gives huge boosts in the UK, but then the Grammys don't either and it did pretty well off the back of that). Most Super Bowls haven't done much for the UK charts but I feel this one is going to be absolutely huge just because of what it means in terms of hip hop and pop culture in the whole. So much has built up to this. Drake has called himself "big as the Super Bowl" only for Kendrick to headline, then having the song that flat out calls him a certified p***phile and comparing him to a coloniser played to millions at the biggest event of the year in America. He is over, people are really going to get behind this
February 8, 20251 yr Freya Ridings’ Lost Without You went top ten four times I think too. Ah yes that too. 'Not Like Us' would be making a 4th visit without Top 5 if it returned to the 6-10 region, so the number of songs to have done it could still double in a week.
