Shocking from Bad Bunny considering he was so far ahead on streaming. I really thought he'd be number 1 across all the updates and Sam would pip it on Friday.

They've definitely dispatched. They are on eBay. Unless this is a second drop?

The Olivia Dean physicals were dispatched last Thursday, so wouldn’t that mean they were in last week’s figures?

Would guess because the So Easy vinyl was specifically for Valentines all of them have been shipped? Anyone know when they first went on sale, the label may not have made many if they felt demand wasn't very high.

It wasn't top 100 in the physical chart last week so it seems not!

The correct Olivia song is at #1, let's hope it stays that way come Friday.

Danny L Harle's album nowhere to be seen is a bit of a shocker

It's been #10 in my reshuffle chart every week until Bad Bunny came along.

Standard for new releases to ship on Thursday so they arrive on release day - however the sales will be counted from Friday.

Really hope more people seeing Wuthering Heights drives up interest in Charli’s album enough that she can debut at #1, but even #2 will be fantastic given just how strong Olivia’s streaming is at the moment.

The days where he was 'so far ahead' on Spotify were all last week. He was only barely ahead of Sam and Olivia on Friday (quite possibly already behind Sam accounting for his other versions) and was already behind by Saturday.

^ can people understand the song or did people just give it a listen due to the fact he was in the papers alot due to Trump being mad that he was perfoming at the super bowl?

People don't need to understand a song to enjoy it. (It was already a top 40 hit on its original release long before he had anything to do with the Super Bowl btw...)

Since when did needing to understand a song determine if it could do well… how many Spanish tracks were hits, despacito spent ages at number 1 and no one understood that either. And pinning his success onto “trump being mad” is quite a shit take tbh, his Super Bowl performance was great and many people enjoyed that and that’s causing it to do well on his own merit. Don’t diminish his success based on your personal feelings

Fun chart stat. Went into research mode with the talk of Olivia Dean potentially being no.1 this week and potentially soon after as well, with combination of “So Easy”/“Rein Me In”.

This would be one of the quickest accumulation of three No.1’s for a British woman (or women led group) ever.

If Olivia Dean's two more number one’s occur by the charted dated Friday March 27th (which does seem likely), she would be the quickest British female solo artist to amass three No.1 singles as a lead artist (it would be 189 days [27 weeks] since “Man I Need” went number one).

The current quickest is currently Geri Halliwell, whom amassed her first three number ones in 30 weeks.

If you include her feature on “Hot Right Now”, Rita Ora is the quickest at 27 weeks.

The Spice Girls are the quickest overall female act with 23 weeks.

Alternatively, the next two women likely to join this group (Charli XCX and Raye). XCX would overtake Adele’s current record (10 years, 33 weeks) to amass three number ones whenever she gets her 3rd (currently on 13 years since “I Love It”), whilst Raye would fall between Jess Glynn and Dua Lipa at 3 years however many weeks, if another song from her sophomore album goes number 1 by the end of 2026.

^ Just to add that if I counted right, across all credits Jess Glynne had 3 #1s in the quickest time (21 weeks from "Hold My Hand" to "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself"):

"Hold My Hand" (29th March 2015)

"Not Letting Go" (28th June 2015)

"Don't Be So Hard On Yourself" (21st August 2015)

Can't believe it's been over 10 years since Jess Glynne domination (to the relief of some members here).

Had this as her total at first when compiling the above list, but she’s credited as a feature artist and not a co-lead on Not Letting Go and couldn’t find any history archive to suggest otherwise. So kept her overall & lead only as they are in the OP.

I have no personal feelings towards bad bunny i don't really know him. I read the news reporting trump being upset that bad bunny was performing and many media outlets reported it, it was all over social media at one stage it was the only thing i was really getting on my newsfeed. It was just a question. Though i do dislike Trump alot but most people do. I am sorry i offended you.

I just thought people bought victoria beckhams as a way of supporting her during the fued with her son. I thought listening to bad bunny was UK's way of saying f you to Trump lol.

He was strongly ahead on Friday but slipping fast and he's been consistently ahead on Apple. I thought the'd generate enough of a lead that Sam wouldn't pass it until Wednesday/Thursday

I guess Bad Bunny is not popular on Amazon. Generally, Amazon goes for older tracks.

And I know people are surprised at how well Opalite is doing so far this week. It’s actually quite high on Apple when we only look at SCR tracks. I imagine it is doing well on Amazon too.
