Rein Me In saving us from a sub 30k #1

And the sales between 2-9 are all so close!

Would be so undeserving for any song to go number 1 with 27k and really highlights how shocking sales are now

The 13 more real sales for Rein Me In also makes it 6 places higher than Man I Need on the sales chart - 19 [368] vs 25 [355].

Weirdly, Man I Need, despite accruing 'only' 40,996 streams compared with Rein Me In's 41,340 is No.1 on both streaming and audio streaming [Rein Me In at 2 on both]. Since the streaming charts are based on total streams, then the streams of Rein Me In must be slightly more paid for than Man I Need's...

Also, I just noticed that the Singles Chart for today 03/07/2026 is dated 02 July 2026 to 08 July 2026 (so Thursday to Wednesday). Does this mean they've changed the compilation week? - though it seems to have been like that in 2025 also....

Seems others are seeing the correct dates - i do too for a second and then it goes back to 02 July 2026 and 08 July 2026.... In fact I see the same in 1958 for the albums (the span starts 1 day earlier than the week commencing date!!!)

It wasn't even close in the end, looks like its got a clear path for a 16th week then before maybe its toppled? I've just thought, its actually spent half of this year at No.1 which is an amazing statistic given its early July. Although not sure what could manage to do so until Ariana drops her 2nd single, which given the low bar would easily get there. Shame Free Your Mind hasn't taken off more, i thought last weekend it was showing signs but it must have just been a weekend effect, would be a fan of that being No.1.

Olivia R is holding up really well in the albums, wonder if she might scrape another 20k next week. I have a feeling Madonna is going to have some fairly decent sales behind her next week so it'll be interesting to see where that lands sales wise.

That’s a surprisingly great second week hold for Myles Smith considering he didn’t have many streaming sales last week.

Hugel & Ultra Nate into the top 40. Brilliant song and i would not be suprised to see it top 10 this summer

Another new total:

713,329 SIENNA SPIRO - Die On This Hill

I believe 41,708 is the lowest total for a #1 on the ACR-free chart since the first week of That's So True (14/11/24, 40,798). If it drops below that next week, it will be the lowest since Kenya Grace's Strangers.

On the other hand if Rein Me In were on ACR, 27,400 would be the lowest #1 since... Coldplay's Viva La Vida in June 2008!
