16 of the tracks in the First Look Top 20 (including 9 of the top 10) are by female acts and of the 4 remaining tracks, 2 feature female acts.

This must be some sort of chart record? Though by Friday the lower part of the top 20 may look somewhat different.

Probably trying to get some streams for "Dot Dot Dot" via it playing after "Unwritten".

That's actually a genius idea, why don't more people do that?

I know perrie Jade and leighanne would always have their previous singles on their EPs for the recent single, its probably really common tbf

Heck Nickelback do it too

They do. It makes some artist pages look so messy with multiple EP versions of their albums before the full thing releases to try and increase streams of previously released singles.

Zara Larsson had one with Lush Life and Midnight Sun too.

If Patient Zero tops the chart, we have another chart topper with a number in the title.

Yeah I know it's done for newer songs but I haven't seen it done with such an old song before.

Is there a significance to that which I've missed? It would be the first #1 with 'Zero' in the title and also the first #1 with 'Patient' in the title lol.

Taylor not automatically at 1 in the albums is a shock.

Is it really , streaming is based on the average of the 3rd to 16th most streamed tracks so only 2 of the new tracks count, im more suprised its as high as 3

Stray Dogs ahead The Life of a Showgirl. I know this is front-loaded, but fantastic for Nothing But Thieves.

I assumed she'd do huge downloads alongside the streams as it was up for pre-order on iTunes and her store but I forgot the tracks were available separately so definitely lost a stack of album downloads (Although obviously way better for fans that download as they didn't have to buy the album again).

Yeah most of the "actual" sales have been from the individual songs

Wow, I knew Keo would do well - but ahead of Nothing But Thieves is crazy! I'm surprised they both released on the same week tbh, lots of audience crossover.

Oh wow I was expecting Taylor to have a massive lead over Nothing But Thieves at #2, Keo wasn't on my radar for #1 at all!!

#taylorisover

Fingers crossed someone can beat Taylor to the top, what an upset!

That’s not the Tina I want at 38!!!

Really hope Tinashe is top 75 in the mids! She’s number 1 on iTunes today due to the deluxe version!
