Impressed with the Amy Macdonald sales. Didn’t realise she had a sizeable loyal fanbase.

Can we talk about the firepower of that top 5 in the singles? If you were to random generate a date from any time in the last 18 years, theres a better than 1 in 6 chance that the #1 that day was a song by Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris, Justin Bieber, or Sabrina Carpenter.

Out of 26,541 days since the chart's existence...

Ed was number one for 427 days

Calvin was number one for 273 days

Justin was number one for 266 days

Sabrina was number one for 161 days

Total days= 1,027

1,027/26,541= 0.039 (to 3dp)

So just under 4% chance overall

And since this day 18 years ago

1,027/6,576= 0.156 (to 3dp)

So 15.6% chance of any of them being number one (just less than 1 in 6) 😂

(I am rubbish at maths it seems)

It's 1,127, not 1,027. 1,127/6576= 0.171

Didn't expect Calvin's sales to be so close to sabrinas, and hopefully thats a good sign sapphire might repeak at least

Mk looking at an easy second week

No idea where I went wrong there- thanks! 😂

Slide away could have if they released it on Friday but they wasted a day of streaming and most of the downloads went to last week too

Love how this top 10 is so different than the Billboard Top 10. Feels like the 90s again

thank god for that too cos America are still allowing a bar song and lose control in the top ten (although we’re both stuck with beautiful things but hey ho)

Ed and Fleetwood Mac are ahead of Sabrina now, no way she's keeping her streak...

If only she'd saved last week's 3k of vinyls for this week, she would have kept her Top 5 run going, and Oasis would have had an unprecedented Top 3 monopoly last week!

Anyone know what brings Gigi Perez into the album chart finally? Nice to see, hope she can at least remain top 100 by Friday.
