July 29Jul 29 1 hour ago, DanielCarey said:Shows you how abysmal sales were thenI was looking at one of those Youtube 'Biggest streaming tracks of 200x' videos yesterday and was shocked at how so many tracks that were niche back then had become huge in streaming. System of a Down had 3 tracks in the streaming top 50 for 2002. The Calling didn't even feature. I can't think of any time in music where popularity has been so warped compared to chart success. Maybe Mr Brightside is a big example of that. Biggest song ever, didn't go top 10 in 2004.

August 4Aug 4 At this rate, ‘Rein Me In’ is 4 months away from being year end number 1, so could overtake at some point in December.
August 4Aug 4 Author After selling virtually nothing for several weeks, “I Run” now seems to have recovered a little and is holding at #49.

August 4Aug 4 Am I reading that table correctly - that only 4 of the top 20 biggest YTD songs for 2026 were released in 2026??Jesus wept. It's August!
August 6Aug 6 Can anyone remember the last song to reach 1.5 million two years in a row? ‘Man I Need’ will almost certainly achieve that. And I wonder if ‘Ordinary’ is on track achieve that too?
