The arrival of 3 cd singles boosts Danceteria's standing this week, adding 9 streaming points to the tally, and keeping Confessions II tracks at #1 for a 24th week in a row. But, with Expectations reaching a peak in its 11th week on the chart, following the duet version being released, is Olivia the one to finally dethrone the Queen? Also maxing out their 3 tracks per album allowance on the Tracks chart, are The Beatles, Ashe and Kim Petras.

The Beatles manage 4 weeks at #1 as usual when a deluxe version of one of their albums comes out. The streaming points are so high in week 1 that they're able to keep on top for the 4-week rolling period the charts cover. This is caused mainly because: 1. The tracks are short 2. There are lots of tracks on the deluxe editions, so more streaming points, 3. It's the effing Beatles.

I'm glad Ke dollar sign ha and Kim Petras seem to be on good terms now because I can feel less guilty about still playing Kim's music. She peaks this week, following the deluxe issue of Detour. Confessions II seems to be on the descent now, after 16 weeks in the top 2. It has blown everything else out of the water in the 2020s for me overall, and is in my top 20 albums ever in terms of play count. Ashe's album gets better with each play. The girl group November takeover is coming, with the Spice Girls box set sure to take the #1 spot in a couple of weeks, and maybe the appearance of 2 Girls Aloud albums the week after...
