February 21Feb 21 Glad it finally got the top spot his best ever and now looking at potentially being a multi week number 1 🙌

And the lyrics about memories ringing like tinnitus - it’s the inescapable track that lingers like tinnitus for better or worse.You could say it Reins you in!!
March 2Mar 2 If Olivia never guested on Rein Me In, Man I Need would’ve more likely won best British single

March 10Mar 10 Full St James Park video just released (and vinyl restocked on his website) - they are challenging for a 4th week at the top.

He’s doing a Taylor Swift. If he’s so desperate for another number 1, he can always ask Taylor Swift to do a song with him Edited March 10Mar 10 by Hadji

Yeah that makes senseI don’t see anyone applauding Sam for doing it, and ‘everyone’ crucifying Taylor doesn’t include me - make and sell what your fanbase will buy (just as Sam is - the vinyl restock sold out in an hour).

Making the artist as successful as possible is what they’re paid to do!

Making the artist as successful as possible is what they’re paid to do!Honestly this - if any of us were working for an artist/label and had the opportunity to extend a #1 to a month at the top we’d all be pulling out all the stops - even if it upset a handful of forum chart stans.An artist like Sam might never trouble for a #1 single again so fair play for them keeping him there as long as possible.All that being said I think it’ll be #1 this week anyway with or without the addition of some extra vinyl (assuming they only dropped around 500 as they sold out in an hour).
