Alex Warren released his new album yesterday, and “Ordinary” is STILL the highest-charting one. 😣

Still getting those residual pub goer streams

Alex does actually seem to have a surprisingly strong fanbase for an adult contemporary commercial radio slop artist. Not sure where those fans are though. In the real world I guess. x (in fairness he was a social media personality before he was a musician, though I don't see what about his old content warranted a fanbase either)

I'd agree here, he does have a fanbase for sure (I mean he was getting top 100 debuts even before he majorly broke through with Ordinary which does suggest a fanbase is there), so I think the album will do well in its first week for sure. Not seeing any signs that'll it'll hold up super well, though. The debut album benefits from having several streaming hits on it, this one's only got FEVER DREAM really (we'll see if anything else manages to take off) and its streams will be rounded down to the average of the whole album.

I liked Ordinary when it was first released, but got very bored of it and change the channel if it comes on the radio now.

As a result, it kinda put me off him as an artist as well (though Fever Dream is a bop).

(I wonder if some people will feel the same way about Sam Fender?)

No denying that 7 songs in the Top 200 is a Day 1 achievement though.

Not sure I’d put Alex and Sam in the same category here.

Stay strong, "Training Season".

Either way, "Jolene" and "9 to 5" are holding strong in the same spots, although they're decreasing on streams, which was expected to happen to be honest.

Their advantage of Jolene is not yet significant enough to overcome the advantage it has on Apple.

That said, I have no idea how things are going on Amazon.

Jolene at 5 on Amazon with a bunch of acr songs above it + hugel from what I can see so I'd assume they be the top 2 today as its a heavily amazon first look chart right?

“Jolene” and “9 To 5” could potentially reach new peaks by the looks of it.

Dolly holding on fairly well. Should see her songs reach the top 10/new peaks I would think. May be touch and go whether "Jolene" can hold on enough to get to #1 though.

From today’s papers.

Kylie Minogue celebrates one billion streams for Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.

The Australian singer, 58, has surpassed the milestone on Spotify with her hit 2001 song and lead single for her album Fever.

^ Fantastic for Kylie!

I saw that 'Be My Baby' by The Ronettes passed 1 billion streams this weekend too ❤️

Adela rising back up I know that’s right!!

Also I wonder if it’s worth keeping an eye on Ellie Goulding - Close To Me which is doing the rounds on TikTok at the moment which I am SO here for, her absolute best song 😍

Has there been any sort of resurgence for “Love Me Not” - seeing lots of edits to both the original or the Olivia Dean cover on socials

Have seen nostalgic tiktoks featuring 'On A Night Like This' on Tiktok a better song imo.

Crazy that two of the uk top five aren’t performing as well on Spotify, Stella Lefty is at 21 and Movin To The Sun is at 23
