Unless I missed someone.

Jamie Miller would be only the sixth British or Irish male soloists to get their first uk number one in the 2020s, only the 2nd completely solo, and the only unaccompanied British soloist.

Joel Corry (as a collab with MNEK)

Central Cee (with Dave)

Hozier

Sam Fender (with Olivia Dean)

There's also both Russ Millions and Tion Wayne on Body, and Interplanetary Criminal (in collaboration with Eliza Rose), and not forgetting... Captain Tom Moore

Great to see the Fancy Footwork remix in, the original is amazing so I hope it can get a chart debut!

It was Michael Ball's first No. 1 too!

I've come to terms with the fact that no UK-centric pop music is ever going to have a revival or ever appear in the Spotify top 200 lol.

I know the song itself is not from a UK artist, but Madonna’s Into The Groove had a huge revival earlier this year and that was a very UK isolated viral boost. No reason it couldn’t happen with a UK-centric track.

Good hold by Fontaines, love to see it! Not surprised by Demolition coming through - it reminds me of Bug from the last album as one of my least favourites but definitely one of the most hooky radio friendly.

I'd rather Taylor released a batch of tupperware minidiscs to keep #1 than Babydoll getting there. I find it borderline unlistenable

The Justice et al song is pretty decent, gives me money for nothing vibes with the guitars.

Expectations has been stuck in my head all weekend. I feel it’s got the best chance to dethrone Taylor, given they’ve got physicals.

Come on Olivia!!!

Damn didn't realise Expectations had physicals. I never thought I'd say this but beginning to get annoyed with fanbase artists "cheating" with physical singles that are bought more as souvenirs than anything else. I'm very much #TeamJamie

Yeah that's true. And there have been a few others. Friendly Pressure by Sunship. The MK remix of Blue Jeans. Murder on the Dancefloor even though it was massive across Europe, Sophie never broke through in the US and that still managed it. So it could happen but it's unfairly rare. The upcoming Halloween playlists are just going to be songs/artists famous in the US for example.

Thank you, knew there was still some gentlemen I was missing. Had no idea Interplanetary Criminal was just the one person.

Interesting that Jamie would still be the only the second British or Irish man to reach the summit unaccompanied this decade for their first visit.

Considering how well the Street Fighter film is doing, none of the songs in the film seem to be climbing

Was it expected for any of them to do anything though? I mean, Avatar is a prime example of soundtrack singles not really doing much despite being a part of some of the biggest movies ever.

Unless the songs play a pivotal part of the scene/soundtrack, I don't think it'll be enough to get any of them to chart. I've not seen the movie yet so I can't comment on their use, but unless they are used in a predominent scene (like 'Unwritten' and 'Murder On The Dancefloor' both were, recently) then being in the background of a random scene won't cut it.

Huh? It’s bombing at the box office.

Tate is #2 on AM. Also she just did the VS show, maybe it will boost it a bit everywhere.

Not in the UK. I watched it yesterday and it was packed and I’ve seen loads of people’s social media posts of them watching Street Fighter. It was Whalefall that was actually bombing but I reckon Forgotten Island is doing the best this week out of the three

'expectations' is still #3 combined on Spotify but now behind 'Stop The Wedding!' at #2 instead of 'Rein Me In'!

Tate back up to #4 and Zach/Lana have risen to #13

Fontaines' top three tracks are now: 'Marianne' (#15), 'Demolition' (#21) and 'Japan' (#25) with 'Where Is Gone?' just 522 streams behind arghhhh

Sunday Spotify UK chart

#1 (=): Babydoll by Jamie Miller (313,400)

#2 (+1): Stop The Wedding! by Ashe (308,272)

#3 (-1): Rein Me In by Sam Fender & Olivia Dean (299,802)

#4 (+1): Housewife by Tate McRae (287,764)

#5 (-1): Man I Need by Olivia Dean (287,232)

#11 (-1): expectations by Olivia Rodrigo feat. Chappell Roan (192,670) [#3 COMBINED]

#13 (+2): Lies by Zach Bryan feat. Lana Del Rey (183,089)

also Dream Supplier would be #5 when both versions are combined (its lowest Sunday combined position since early September)

Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by maggotsforbrains

Having properly listened to ‘Where Is Gone’ I’m rooting for that to chart, hopefully next week if not this week it may rise to become one of the charting hits, what a fantastic song! Justice and co tumble a bit further out of the top 100, hope it can stabilize and hopefully climb as the week goes on, depending on how heavily it’s featured in the actual game that may help it get a boost upon release as well
