Seeing as they are both on the same label I’m guessing Polydor/Universal will be happy to follow Ireland giving Sam his first #1 last week and replicate the same here.

Even if Rein Me In goes number 1, Olivia should perform So Easy at the BRITs to help it go number 1 and at least she has the BRITs advantage seeing as she’s performing and he isn’t. If she chooses not to perform So Easy during her performance and doesn’t reach number 1 as a result, then more fool her

Weird that they have discounted Rein Me In the same week they shipped the So Easy physicals, seems counter-intuitive! They probably should've waited a week for the Rein Me In push

I think the physicals were announced/sold in Nov/Dec - guessing they didn’t think either would be challenging for #1.

Looking forward to today’s mids to see how close things are (or not).

Yeah I cant see her team being too fussed like you already said they are on the same label and Olivia gets a number 1 either way,

Plus the story sells better for the record company Sam getting his first and Olivia getting her second

It seems to have had a bit of an uplift recently - I hear about it more than ever now.

Lots of Americans seem to like the UK version too, and (specifically the UK version) was referenced in Abbott Elementary recently!

Mirror To The Sky by Jonas Brothers would've charted if only sales still counted towards the songs heard in Love Island

What do you mean by "if only sales still counted"? I'm pretty sure sales for all songs count. It just needs people to buy them, which they clearly did not for that song.

That Cruz Beckham song is actually... half-decent, which I wasn't expecting?!

I think they mean if sales were the only thing that counted, as in removing streams from the chart !

Surprised Taylor isn't top 4 with the remixes she is in america 🤣

I mean if more people buy that song after hearing in on Love Island then it will most likely chart
