I hope Taylor can get dethroned from number 1 before the Christmas rush

Halloween rush usually only lasts a week and the Halloween rush definitely doesn’t go to number 1 like the Christmas rush

Taylor would have been #2 without those singles, it be easy to overtake next week, Jamie Miller or Ashe.

On the Music Week report... Tuesday’s streaming data is yet to be taken into account.

Heard Babydoll for the first time, why is it a carbon copy of Olivia Dean’s sound? Can’t deal, wake me up when this trend is over

Which she nicked from Fleetwood Mac

With how it's going on Spotify, maybe 'Babydoll' won't be the assumed future #1 we all thought was a foregone conclusion?

He's ahead of Ashe on Apple and Amazon last time I checked? Could be close...

He’s also way ahead on the daily and weekly YouTube charts.

What was Thriller's sales last year Halloween week?

Tame Impala will be back... Dracula

It's not like Thriller's streams were zero on Saturday last year either but yeah, should do 30k at least.

she'll certainly be dethroned next week when the CDs run out

Maybe she’ll ask for some CD ‘sales’ removed from this week as she knows the #1 is safe and spread them out over the next few weeks to snatch multiple more weeks at #1 😑

Some of Olivia Dean’s tracks sound like Fleetwood Mac (the same can be said of a lot of female singers over the past few years) but I don’t think ‘Man I Need’ does, and that’s the one that most of us feel ‘Babydoll’ sounds like.

Can somebody do that? Even though they`ve been counted for this week?

I was being sarcastic, but who knows, this is Taylor 😆

If anyone can, it's her.

Seen people comparing Babydoll to Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere. He may well be influenced by Olivia too, though I think if he's ripping off anyone it's Bruno Mars.

I'm a fan whatever! :)

It did 11,762 the week before. Can see it doing ~30k or so this year. Would be great to see it go to #1. I think they're going to push for it to #1 in the US (went #10 last year). Releasing some CDs or something would help. Perhaps they'll do it for the 50th Anniversary in 2033 (Halloween on a Monday so will get boosted over the weekend with all the parties etc then boosted on Monday itself).

I can’t quite see the comparison, but then I’m a Fleetwood Mac fan. Either way, I’m with you – Babydoll is a song that gives me a little bit of joy.

It may be a blatant 'Man I Need' rip off, but I can't see how 'Babydoll' sounds even remotely like 'Everywhere'!
