for the first time since 2007

Probably been answered but do we know why Alex album is still credited as chapter 1

Same reason Zara isn't credited on 'Stateside' presumably. The label probably have to actively ask them to change it and I assume they just haven't bothered. (It's not considered to be a different album from when it was only 'Chapter 1' released)

Steve Aoki's (terrible) remix of Iris will probably let it re-enter top 40 soon. I hope that version won't get any credit becasue it is really hard to listen.

Yeah reading the OCC article on it is very confusing they are talking like its 2 albums but also 1 at the same time 🤣🤣

Why would it? It’s been out for a while now and done absolutely nothing (unless I’ve missed it?)

Weird because I swear at one point they changed the credit to remove Chapter 1!

it's been out for a week, according to Youtube and Spotify

But isn't Iris' resurgence due to the "what were you like in the 90s?" trend which uses the original track?

Would be great to see New Religion hold on to a place in the top 40.

It sounds very Clubland, like it's from 2003.

Following on from Levi Heron reviving that sound last year.

I'm not really fussed what's #1 this week but I suppose 'Rein Me In' is the lesser of the two evils. What's the earliest it can hit ACR?

I like the moodiness of the Bella Kay song. Would prefer that to be #1.

It’s on DCL-1 at the moment so hopefully, 2 more declines

I would assume its streams increased last week? Its overall sales were down by ~1.1k but that was with it selling 3.6k in vinyl the week before.

Hopefully with the uk finally getting some sunshine this Rein song will go away 😮

New Religion bobbing about, threatening the top 40 but not quite enough, is gonna stress me out for weeks to come. I can feel it.
