RMI is more of a One Dance than it is an Everything I Do... or an I Believe in terms of recognition and memorabilityHow can you tell? Bryan’s and Frankie’s have been around decades whereas RMI is a year old, just because you aren’t a fan doesn’t mean others think the same. I think the guitar part at the start is rather memorable and nostalgic. Again, though, that’s just me. 1 hour ago, RobBot said:Disappointed for Shakira as others have said, just because I didn’t think we’d see her anywhere near the top again and I’d assume it’s chances are slim going forwards but as I said in the Friday Chart Predictions, as much as I find Rein Me In to be just fine as a song, it’s cool to see records broken and for British artists at that, rather than just Drake or something.I do think Rein Me In being #1 for such a long time has made me realise how much of a bubble of life I’m in though, more than ever. I genuinely don’t ever hear it in the wider world for it to be one of those unavoidable hits, but I guess I rarely ever go to straight pubs, I never listen to mainstream radio and my algorithm would never push Sam Fender on me. But I think that probably speaks to where music is currently and the fact there’s easy access to so much music out there rather than it not actually genuinely being a huge hit.I’m getting these images in my head of what straight pubs look like - full of people enjoying RMI with their hands in the air and discussing how great ‘Ordinary’ is.On a more serious note, I think music is like everything else so divided up in terms of people enjoying it and streaming being used by most people now that this is the way things are. It’s like big moment TV now rarely people watch things in mass events apart from a few exceptions.

July 31Jul 31 I did wonder earlier...When was RMI taken off the R1 playlist?Must have been flipping ages ago?

July 31Jul 31 As a chart fan I can’t say I’ve ever enjoyed any song staying at number one for an extended period, like double figures, even if I liked the actual song.

Crazy to think!
July 31Jul 31 OCC must have horrible communication with their social media team. They keep posting that the charts are out & all of the highlights lmao

Ariana will probably swamp the chart next week but I don't think its absolutely over for that songI always thought this, Dai Dai yes was a World Cup song which was lifted by this promo but it’s still new to the charts, is now elevated on big playlists by its increasing popularity and could continue to rise over the next few weeks and months. 4 hours ago, gasman449 said:Shakira's team want a VAR check!I think I need a hydration break before the end of this thread!

July 31Jul 31 When Old Town Road did 19 weeks at #1 in America I remember thinking huh how cute, something like that would never happen in the UK. Well here we are!Congratulations to Mr Fender and Miss Dean for breaking the glass ceiling and achieving the previously considered impossible. Now I wonder how long it'll take for the next song to surpass them, another 72 years anyone?
