Damn Rayes not far behind.

Yes Midnight Sun rise. Hope her grammy performance pushes it further.

5k ahead of Olivia, is that enough of a lead

Yes i would think she needs at least 6k more to hold the number based on Olivias sales from previous weeks.

Olivia’s number is up on last Monday and with the Grammy’s News coverage should give Album a decent boost - Lily may need more

Very strong for The Molotovs’ debut album! I’m sure they’ll push to remain Top 3.

omg RAYE!! Hoping she can pull it off to get her first multi week #1 (that’s if Man I Need doesn’t get an ACR reset at least 😅)

Looks like Lily will re-peak this week, cant see her beating Olivia. Still very impressive though.

Disappointed we're not getting a new number one to keep up with the quick turnover but not offended by Dave/Tems re-grabbing the top spot

I don't think that looks like it'll be enough for Lily, anticipating it to just return to #2 behind Olivia sadly. Hope I'm wrong.

Wasn't expecting RAYE to already be ahead of Harry, would be fine with either her or Dave nabbing a second week at #1. Not heard the Noah song yet but it doesn't look like it'll be in contention this week now anyway.

All Don Toliver's three hits outside the Top 40 - poor showing for him

Other than his feature on 'Lemonade' he's only ever had one top 40 hit and that spent a single week at #39 some six years ago - his showing this week is actually very good for him, the album looks like it'll be either his highest or second highest charting to date (previous albums peaked at #16, #26, #36 and #27) and it'll be the first time he's got 3 top 100 hits from an album release week if they all hold on, in fact between all of his previous album release weeks he went 1 for 12 on that and even that one was only barely ('Flocky Flocky' feat. Travis Scott debuted at #99 the week his second album came out).

Yes to Lily who will re peak this week- her team didnt really make the most of physical options , i bet this was her decision tho as in not keen to take the piss

Not really fussed on any of the contenders this week, Dave is probably the lesser of all the evils though so if we have to id rather Dave & Temu 🤣

Both Robbie and Louis holding up slightly better than I was expecting in the albums.

Would love if Bruce Springsteen could stay top 40 in the singles.

Damnnnn. I think Lily gonna end up at 2 unless they really push for it!

Need people to start streaming Lily Allen properly again to get those numbers up - was expecting an easy #1 with how quick some of the vinyl variants sold out (one was listed as 2k copies).

It's not sold out but they are a limited product , had to check the website because they are reselling for double which is strange considering they are still available to buy

I’m going to buy one used as it’ll be a bit cheaper.

This I mean after the initial 4weeks lilys album seems to have fallen away in the Xmas rush

Poor Chanel being shunted to ACR

Come on RAYE, please stop that rap crap from going back to number 1

I'm sure I've seen you complaining about the lack of "rap crap" on various recent Now albums.

Especially when they snub 1xtra-friendly tunes in favour of Radio 2 heritage acts.

Maybe you normally like rap but think that particular number is rubbish. Fair enough in that case.

Might have been a different Hadji though anyway.

Old school rap yeah. Artists such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr Dre etc and today’s rap must be bad if Now keep snubbing it

I thought they were snubbing it because they were thinking more about what a typical Radio 2 listener would want on a current hits CD given that young people don't really see the point in these things.

Then again, I'm 43, listen to lots of Radio 2 (and 1) and I think Raindance is mint.

The compilers keep their personal tastes at the door, remember.

Unless it's there's a chance to get solo David Sylvian on.

Wonder when the last time the official top 2 was 2 completely different songs to the first look. Hoping Raye can go back to the top and Noah can stay as high as possible! Shame Lily Allen is probably going to miss number one
