Hopefully Ella can survive the dirty tactics in the US 🙏🏻

Mind you she randomly increased 300K+ on US Spotify in a single day & immediately lost said streams the very next day so she’s very much playing dirtier

No word from how close by the Official Charts article that they just posted so who knows how close it was.

Ariana this week and Taylor next week - are we finally free from Rein Me In?

Great for Ariana, I actually really like this one. I downloaded two of the versions yesterday in a bid to help.

I still like it, but we're a year in now, Rein Me In can hopefully start to go.

Well i'm sure we'll find out in the next half hour anyway

I don't mind tricks like this if it ends staleness and the song is genuinely popular like this song is proving to be. If it blocks another song/album from its first time at the top or a new peak however... (looking at you Taylor Swift's held back TTPD variants and Lover Live)

Kylie overtook her in December, and now Ariana has equalised again!

Enjoyed the Ariana track on 1st listen - happy for it to have dethroned Sam.

Would be quite happy if something can fend Taylor off.

Starting pride month with an Ariana number one...feels correct

Oh I had forgotten Kylie has 'only' 8 UK number ones.

Limited downloafs that Taylor fans get slagged off for but is ok for Ariana fans the ironv🤣

SLAYYYTER DEBUT

Thank God for that

Thanks for the lovely chats again all. Have a good weekend 😁

Nice to see a new number 1 finally but I kinda hope RMI goes back for one last hoorah to get the longest #1 of the decade to itself

I mean that is still a lot, some bigger acts don't have that many.

(Although the fact Wet Wet Wet blocked her three separate times is rather annoying!)

I don’t recall slagging anyone off about it x

But then I wouldn’t call myself a strong Ariana or Taylor fan. Usually depends on the song and what anything is up against

Ariana is a heterosexual woman how is that a good thing , theres nothing pro pride about her 🤣

I think a round 25th top 10 hit makes Ari the woman with the 5th most top 10 hits?

64 - Madonna

36 - Kylie

33 - Taylor

31 - Rihanna

25 - Ariana
