29 Noah Kahan - Willing and Able

Just now, Paramore said:

I did some research into the rock genre chart the other day. Turns out the genre charts but the rock chart in particular are weirdly manipulated via 1991 and 2007 archiving rules. The only reason the dance chart seems immune is that there are big new hits. Whereas the rock chart is totally naffed up.

the OCC are REALLY weird about what they class as "Rock" - Sam Fender, Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C. are apparently not rock enough to chart there despite being literal rock acts 😭 + they ought to look at more alternative artists being eligible too (Noah Kahan should probably be eligible too and there's been a handful of big alt-leaning hits like Sailor Song which other chart companies consider Rock/Alternative - not the OCC tho 💀)

Hope Noah can get another top 10 with draw you out this week! Justice for can’t catch me now missing out on a top 10 peak

28 Drake - Quebec

It's technically a "rock and metal" chart rather than alternative so they're looking for heavier sounds when compiling so much of Fontaines/Sam Fender/Sailor Song wouldn't fit. Doesn't explain why Iris is in there though...

Oh goody - Drake's back.

27 Drake, Don Toliver & Yebba - Cold Shoulder

this one's ok but the worst of Drake's three tracks is yet to come though...

Hope these Drizzler songs fall away. Haven't heard any but I just know they are terrible especially the one sampling the already rubbish Choosin Texas

Fingers 🤞 this is as high as the drake tracks go

and some of Fall Out Boy’s pretty pop 2010s material too. It’s a mess!

26 Tame Impala - Loser

they should just do what Billboard did and change it to a combined Rock & Alternative chart tbh - would help reduce the stagnation too given there'd be more current tracks able to chart

25 Taylor Swift - Cleveland!

oh dear... didn't really need this getting two plays tbh 💀 (not as bad as some of yous say though, she's made MUCH worse)

Cleveland down 22 places since Friday !!

Honestly I think this is a contender for her worst song, and I speak as a really big Taylor fan 😭

Cleveland still in her top 3 for now we are not worthy 🙌
