I don’t think we’ve had a “too cool for school” song at #1 all year, bar Aperture and Raindance, it’s all been easy listening 😂

drop dead could maybe count too I guess? tbf most of them aren't actual "easy-listening" in the genre sense but more in the literal sense of being easy-to-listen-to

Fancy Footwork credited to both Chris Lorenzo and Chromeo now, probably getting reset on Friday.

Thriller back in at #92

Chappell is credited on 'expectations' in the full top 100 midweek update - iirc Taylor Swift was credited on the First Look chart on 'The Joker And The Queen' but then her credit disappeared in the actual chart, but looks like Chappell's credit will be sticking.

"new" is being used loosely there considering that while it's in the top ten for the first time, the song dates back to 2007

(Chris Lorenzo's much newer remix is driving it to chart now but considering it's not as good hopefully they'll play the original instead)

If we're back to 2007, not long till Maneater and Promiscuous and Afraid can enter the top 10!!!

gutted to see Faouzia taking a steep fall. ‘UNETHICAL’ is otherworldly

It’s climbed since this time last week so once the final data is counted, could be just outside the top 40. It’s clearly doing poorly on Amazon.

I've just checked the Midweeks and Zack Bryan has 4 songs as the lead artist off one project

10 - Zack Bryan Ft. Lana Del Rey - Lies

23 - Zack Bryan - Lodi When

39 - Zack Bryan - Robot killed the working man

52 - Zack Bryan Ft. Turnpike Trobadours - Plainsman

I assume they hadn't updated the midweek chart to reflect the limit but I hope it gets rectified. I personally want the limit moved to 5 lol

‘Now’ been the unpublished Tuesday update?

The OCC midweeks update still has the 4 listed on their site

Ah nevermind, the OP says 42 when it's actually at 52

My bad lol. Thanks for clarifying

Olivia’s just launched ‘win tickets to my tour’ when you order any format ( email mailout) and they’ve added a 59p download to her store so pretty sure they’ll overtake Babydoll now

Sorry but this is nonsense. It might be derivative but it's damn catchy and instantly memorable. It's not background music. Sometimes a good old fashioned melodic pop song wins the day and it would be very boring if the top end of the charts was just the too cool for school songs all the time.

It's never too cool for school songs at the top end these days, that's why a chunk of the forum is now in perma-despair about the charts 😅

"Oh no. Babydoll is so bland and dull. Why does this sort of thing have mass appeal?!"

Because its fun tune, you can sing along, you can dance to it, its inoffensive, It's a happy song, It's not Taylor Swift!!!

You're so obsessed with her it is unhealthy.

I wonder if "Where is gone" can still overtake to become the third Fontaines DC track on the Friday chart?

sadly no. It’s shaping up to be ‘Japan’ apparently. Gutted cause ‘Where Is Gone?’ was a beautiful song but yea no shot now.

Hopefully it 2-steps up the chart. I prefer it to 'Get Lucky' {which is 13 yrs old now} - really similar vibes though.
