Look how fresh the charts are now

Hoping for Olivia to hit #1 if only to make up for her last two singles both just missing out x This song isn't as good but still would be one of the year's better #1s (I like it on about the same level as 'drop dead', maybe a little bit less still), not heard the Chappell remix yet though.

Zach has actually done slightly better on Spotify than he has on Apple! His second and third entries are both also in the top 40 ('Lodi When' at #27 and 'Robot Killed The Working Man' at #39), and of course there are a lot of Fontaines album tracks ahead that will be subject to the 3 track rule, so hopefully this may be his first project to have more than one top 40 hit. (The rest of the EP is also all in the top 100).

Wow at KETTAMA/Prospa debuting so much higher on Spotify than Apple, unusual for a dance song. Hoping it'll sound more like KETTAMA's other recent releases than Prospa's.

Great showing for Fontaines - the order of the songs today is largely dictated by the tracklist as to be expected so 'Where Is Gone?' starts as only the 7th highest song but the numbers are all pretty close (<40k between it and the current third highest track 'Mimesis') - I guess 'Japan' is the bigger threat to crowding it out as one of their three charting songs since it has a music video and it's charting higher today despite being later in the tracklist. 'Marianne' seems like the only song that's 100% safe to assume will be one of their charting songs, the picture for the other two should be clearer tomorrow.

Why are the numbers for a number 1 on Spotify so low? I swear a couple years back those numbers would've got #5 or something? Is it just a case of everyone's streams being more spread out in general?

I would have thought Oliviappell would have had enough momentum behind them to debut with 700k+? But I guess I just expect way too much nowadays. Tate's number of streams are about level to what I was expecting but I wasn't thinking she'd be ahead of Oliviappell let alone number 1 tbh (non-combined ofc). Crazy to see Fontaines have so much momentum behind them to debut all their tracks in the top 40. Nice to see though.

At least there's a bit of a shakeup all throughout the upper regions of the charts. The numbers that songs actually do nowadays is what is throwing me off tbh

really pleasantly surprised by Zach's Spotify numbers - Lies actually outdebuted the non-combined expectations (Remix) in the US at #2 and got his first ever Global Spotify top ten peak (#10 - somehow only Lana's second as well)!

Prepare to be disappointed then, it's basically a Prospa song.

Surprised 'I Remember Everything' never made the top 10 on global Spotify! (I see it peaked at #13)

it did peak at #4 on the Bilboard Global 200 (which takes into account weekly streaming + digital sales from all platforms) so it's just that Zach usually underperforms on Spotify compared to elsewhere (plus his paid/free streams ratio is usually really good)

Words I didn’t ever expect to type: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard in the Spotify top 50

hope they climb higher really like the collab

Amazing Spotify update! Hope where is gone is able to be one of Fontaines top 3 songs come Friday. Exciting to see several big new hits in expectations, housewife and lies all incoming! Gonna be one of the most interesting chart weeks of the year

So at the moment its very much Jamie vs Tate vs Olivia

Taylor is surely gonna have some trick up her sleeve

We all definitely do need to be prepared for this freshness to die off quite hard in tomorrow's update lol (but hopefully will recover a bit after the weekend as it usually does x).

I'm trying to remain positive

Wow! Could be as many as 8 brand new releases entering the top 40 plus 2 big climbers - and 2 comparatively recent songs also battling it out for the number 1 spot.

Happy for Tate, for me it sounds massive and I do prefer it to the Remix of Olivia.
