Didn't the enchanto ones have more 😅

They also had too many - just credit it to the Cast lmao

This is a ridiculous (and unnecessary) number of artists to be credited

Indeed - they're just going as Huntr/X and Saja Boys on my spreadsheet.

Yes, I am equally upset about how I’ll deal with it in my spreadsheets.

How are the OCC handling it?

Saja Boys/Andrew Choi/Neckwav is how the website lists it

It would be like if the Encanto ones credited every character alongside the actors 😂 For this one I don't get why they have to credit all the actors AND the cast of the film, isn't the fictional group's name enough?

Depending on your semantic read of it, they're actually not crediting the actors individually. All the cast have separate performers who handle the singing parts. I think crediting all the singers individually makes sense because in reality they're not really part of a group. Playing into the kayfabe makes it easier to search for, and adding the whole cast listing helps with Spotify Wrapped/similar things. Cumbersome, but makes it easier to compartmentalise for anyone who's seen the film.

Thing that bugs me is the way iTunes/Apple has it typeset as 'HUNTRX'. If you're not including the forward slash, at least make it a letter i, it's like calling Alesha Moore-Hart 'Pnk'. I await to see if there will soon become a second thing that people mistakenly pronounce as 'Hunter x' 🤓

You'd of thought so but OCC make it up as they go along dont they 😅

Barbra Streisand album falling fast, would have expected a safe top 10 for her.

Rod Stewart i think may end up at 5 by the end of the week.

So much for rod being a potential threat 😅

Lewis really is the master of pulling rabbits out of a hat!

He could have a stack of number ones left in him if he's able to mobilise his fans like this long-term.

Team Capaldi definitely not wanting to take any chances then lmao. I still think he could have got #1 even without the CDs this week but yeah.

Decent rise since Monday for Lorde's sales, up 2.4k and it only needs to go up another just over 1.5k to beat the opening sales of 'Melodrama' now so that seems doable. No shock that 'Shapeshifter' is gone from the top 40 but 'What Was That' still holding firm so should be safely locked in for a re-entry now.

If I hadn't seen this post I'm not sure I'd ever have known it's not meant to be pronounced 'hunter x'. (I'm certainly not ever watching the film lol)

Nothing to do with the OCC, this is how the songs are tagged on streaming services!

Am quite used to artists being extraneously double credited in official streaming tags but these songs essentially triple tagging all the contributing artists is a new one.

Oh my word them sales are madness for Lewis, he’s added 34k since Monday!

Didn’t "Pointless" move something close to 40k CDs the week it spent at #1?

Just checked and he did 22k

I'm sure Lewis would have been #1 even without physicals

or he could have released CD1 this week, CD2 next and Cd3 the week after instead of all 3 at once

Not when he's sold them as a bundle

but also separatedly, no? I remember at a certain point only 1 out of the 3 cds was sold out, the other 2 could still be bought

They were available separately but it wouldn't be fair to send out CDs 2&3 to bundle purchasers but not individual purchasers

Is he doing huge numbers not on Spotify, im not sure he would be number 1 without physicals unless he a rare case with huge downloads,

Either way he doing pretty impressive

He’s been no2 for the past few days on Apple ahead of everyone but Alex of course so doing a lot better there as it represents local chart acts a lot better as usual.

Yeah seen he high there its annoying we dont get figures like spotify

Yeh would love to see them, as others have said woulda been better to not release the cds until next week and get 2-3 weeks at the top spot.
