7 hours ago7 hr Woah, Olivia!I wouldn't mind seeing that be #1 actually, although I guess that may depend on how new Sabrina C does.
7 hours ago7 hr I feel like British female artists often face the sophomore slump so it's refreshing to see Olivia blowing up with her impending second record instead.

I can see her getting a few BRIT awards next year too!

It's just a notice in trending patterns and a likely reason for it. It's clearly a song that's been building for a couple of weeks and is gaining hype more and more so the label striking whilst the momentum is there is absolutely the right move.(I ofc don't know if it IS autoplay (mine is switched off) but it's an observation that it could be just due to the rise in numbers)
7 hours ago7 hr Very impressive numbers from Olivia. Remember that it will take huge numbers to get past “Golden” officially though and she isn’t there yet.

It’s only been "Natalie Don’t" (a deep cut) and her jazz rearrangements of her dance features.
4 hours ago4 hr Man I Need #1 on Spotify. Looks like Olivia could dethrone Hunr/x next week if Sabrina doesn’t manage to
3 hours ago3 hr An irony being that she hasn't had a day at #1 on Spotify since 'good 4 u', over 4 years ago now.

2 hours ago2 hr Happy for Olivia Dean, it felt like she was slogging away for years getting not very far commercially (apart from that Amazon-assisted Christmas hit) and now suddenly she's finally breaking through in a big way. Good news for British music too after such a dry year last year, it does feel slightly more positive this year.Man I Need is definitely my favourite from her so far, I'd thought Golden would reign for quite a few weeks so it's good to see it have a challenger already potentially.The Subway really deserves such daily numbers too imo.
