4 hours ago4 hr They should not be comparing pre and post streaming records as its apples and oranges. It'll also be a fake break of the record if it manages it, as has happened with several other records since ACR was instigated, as it's only at 14 not 18 weeks, without ACR.
3 hours ago3 hr 1 hour ago, Maestro said:Rein Me In should benefit from likely missing Spotify data.Another top 40 week for Mr. Brightside?There'll also be missing Apple and YouTube data which will swing in Shakira's favour, the latter overwhelmingly so! Wonder if video streaming could actually be making the difference this week?
3 hours ago3 hr I wasn’t expecting Dai Dai to slightly increase its lead from Rein Me In and even though I can’t stand Choosin’ Texas, I hope it closes the gap on Rein Me In. I don’t mind Dancing On My Own reentering but Unwritten can go away Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by Hadji
3 hours ago3 hr Shakira, Robyn and Natasha top 40. Artists so good that they succeeded through all of the physical, download and streaming eras ❤️Willing Dai Dai to stay at No.1 but also surprised Sam and his team aren’t putting up more of a fight here? Maybe the Lewis duet version has some legal reason it can’t be released to download (his label didn’t approve it?), but why is Sam not armed at this point with remixes ready to go or the instrumental or something? Anything? I still wouldn’t be surprised to see him take it though as Shakira’s team don’t seem to be doing anything.
3 hours ago3 hr I guess Shakira’s focus is on the Latin market, but you’d still think her label would care about getting a UK #1. Gives me hope that a new English album might do decently though. She’s never really lost her cool factor.I will absolutely be chucking a download or 2 Dai Dai’s way! Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by No Sleeep

3 hours ago3 hr The OCC did not run the charts in 1953 and there's no such thing as an official chart from 1953 no matter what the OCC want you to think, so no, I disagree. There also was not streaming in 1953 so again it's still a fake overturning of the record as you're not comparing like with like and as Hadji says the record has already been broken by Last Christmas which is on 20 weeks...

2 hours ago2 hr 1 hour ago, Hadji said:I do care about old records being broken and yeah, let’s do away with streaming. It’s like a disease to the charts. And I will say one thing and I don’t care if you disagree because I’ll say it anyway but Rein Me In being number 1 this long is worse than the 2020 lockdownOh you’re just so right, just the perfect comparison honestly.A song having a long time at a certain chart position is most definitely worse than a global pandemic that caused thousands and thousands of people to die worldwide and not able to leave their houses and spend time with loved ones You’re just not a real person at this point

The record will be broken if Rein Me In gets another week at #1, everything else is just details. The chart's had plenty of rules that have come and gone over the years, and nobody's claiming pre and post streaming are directly comparable, but ultimately it's just context around the official chart and a genuine record that will still be broken regardless of the background. It's up to you if you choose not to recognise it...!
2 hours ago2 hr Rein Me In will have the record for now then in a few years time, Last Christmas will break that record and the people who love Rein Me In and hate Last Christmas will be crying about it. The only way for Last Christmas to not be able to break the record if OCC do something about the Christmas songs. Also, at least Last Christmas managed its run at number 1 on ACR Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Hadji
2 hours ago2 hr My daily streaming of "Dai Dai" working *_* Come on Shakira and team, push for that #1!

2 hours ago2 hr Between here and The Lounge the talk of Christmas is inescapable it's also one of the hottest days of the year folks x

2 hours ago2 hr We are also making the assumption that last christmas wont disminish its returns like the last few years its sales at number 1 have also steadily declined 😊
