So Sam Fender will block Ariana and will be #1 for at least 3 more weeks since it's increasing in streams compared to last week. Couldn't he let Shakira to be #1 for one week? Was the desperation needed it?

Lol this I don't know why people acted like last week was his last chance to get the record and had to have that last minute rally to block Shakira. You know what, I actually hope he's #1 for another 19 weeks now

Because without the record and the press coverage it would actually be dropping this week 🤣 it wouldnt Be increasing if it didnt get the record

Quick note - it's okay to be frustrated with other posters but please remember there's a human behind each account, and being rude to people isn't okay no matter how frustrating a poster you find them to be. Not going to discuss this further in the thread but happy to have a PM chat with anyone who wants to say more.

I did not mean to be rude but the repetition was rapidly driving me totally insane, the last thing I would want to come across as is a bully though, I think there is a good reason why he is like that and I think this place wouldn't quite be the same without the afore-mentioned iconic Buzzjack member that keeps us all talking, he is part of the furniture so I guess I will just take a deep breath and ignore anything that gets right on my last nerve in future!

Apologies to all concerned, off for a lie-down until I'm about 70 years old (2053 by the way).

I’m guessing his label/team thought it might be his last chance with the Ariana album drop seeing as she went to #1 with her last single - they would be aware of how her team operated to get it too then so probably thought the same would happen this week.

I think it’s signalled as a new entry if it’s new to the Top 40.

I know, but it's a new entry to the top 40.

Olivia Dean loves a vinyl release doesn't she! Growth was completely lost on me initially but a 5th anniversary release makes sense (of sorts).

Just a thought (things may seem different in an hour):

Currently ‘Hate That I Made You Love’ is below ‘Stay’ at 11. ‘Man I Need’ is at 12 - so at best HTIMYLM is neck and neck with ‘Man I Need.’

Last week ‘Rein Me In’ had more than double the streaming sales of ‘Man I Need’ and has increased further this week - so if HTIMYLM is reset it would currently be at best, on similar sales to ‘Rein Me In’.

But on Saturday on Spotify, ‘Rein Me In’ was so far ahead of HTIMYLM - that I can’t see HTIMYLM being anywhere near the number 1 slot. It will be interesting to see how high the two best Ariana tracks fare compared with Shakira.

So ‘Man I Need’ is now 10; Ariana’s ‘Like I Do’ is 12. I’d say there is close to zero chance now of ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’ climbing back to Number 1 this week.

Full update is in (have omitted some of the rebounding perennials in the album chart as there's a load of them this week!)

The 'Sympathy is a Knife' remix artists coming to replace each other at #1 in the albums

28.7k is a great start for petal, 10k higher than the Monday mids for eternal sunshine:

1 Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine (18,885) [9,292 physicals, 8,905 streaming, 688 downloads] *

Real shame that the COVID of the UK charts is still at #1. Of course Sam Fender has got some more signed CDs to be delivered conveniently on the Thursday.

Let’s hope not as signed CDs haven’t been eligible for the singles charts for about 4 years.

Bit of a drop for charli 🥲 thought she might be 1 of the few artist that could secure a 2nd week top 10

Decent sales for ariana though should be pretty safe with that

Shakira still at 2 with a safe ish lead 🙌

The earlier point about made-up scenarios still applies...
