Would be interesting if someone did a research of which time of the year the top 20 songs are most likely to go on ACR. For very popular songs, the weather definitely is a factor, so makes me think that late autumn before Christmas is the most active period of the year in that sense.

Of course frontloaded songs usually go ACR in their 10th week.

Dior up to 3 on Apple

Expect big things for Eli - Girl Of Your Dreams which is (finally) released on Friday. Huge Tik Tok hype and major stars have been supporting it for weeks and weeks.

I mean, a chance for it to ofc not do anything, but I think it’ll be big and will be worth keeping an eye on.

Of all the great stuff MK has done throughout his career, this is coming to be his biggest hit?

I think Dior has broken Spotify

Ordinary 10k down on last week. Could be hitting ACR after all

Cmon , it would make going back to humber 1 less sufferable if it actually goes to acr

Ooh PinkPantheress’ ‘Illegal’ has re-entered the Spotify chart today *.*

Very head tell got confused with Gigi perez only found while woman now get confused this Eli person

I thought this was about Shakira at first 💔

i think some definely do factor it into the creation of their music, certain songs are definitely made with a specific sound to try and go viral, but i don't think its fair to categorise all songs that go viral like this, we've seen some crazy examples of songs go viral that you wouldn't expect to go viral! Like escapism for example, i've been a fan of raye for years so i listened to it the day it came out but i never even considered the possibility of it going viral as its such a personal song with very deep topics sung about in it, but since it went viral it does sound like a song to go viral? does that make sense? i feel like im rambling lol

You aren’t, it’s a fair point well made!

I'm going to pick on Kylie here (as a massive fan)...

After Padam went a bit viral, I think My Oh My was supposed to. The lyrics leant to people creating their own "Hi... I'm Kylie... I'm Gemini" whilst inserting their own name and star sign.

Then Lights Camera Action seemed custom made for some catwalk style vids.

All my own thoughts, but it felt that way to me.

Ordinary is down 9k on Spotify week-on-week... coming for ACR

Hopefully! It looks like it’s slightly down on today’s mids compared to last Wednesday if I’ve read it properly 😭

Its Tuesday streams are down, but every other day this week was up on last week - in total it is 28k (1.1%) ahead over Fri-Tue. Last Wednesday's streams were 504k so it could still be in deficit if today's aren't close to that.
