Streaming Services Chart Discussion; W/C 09/01/26
Ah thank you! They have a 30 day free trial so I might have a look. I do know there are 3 charts. The free chart excludes all explicit versions of songs (if you don't have Amazon Prime or Amazon Music) which makes it seem a lot of songs are higher than they should be. The 2nd chart is the one if you have Amazon Prime but not Amazon Music which includes explicit versions of songs but doesn't combine them all (riddled with lots of songs with multiple versions). Then the final one is if you're a member of Amazon Music. But the chart is weird in the way it works - I've seen similar to what you've mentioned with songs disappearing then reappearing. A few months ago the chart looked like it reverted back to the early 2010s with Adele's "Someone Like You" back at #2 and lots of old songs around.

The Online Safety Act
Just to add - reports are that Starmer is working with Canada & Australia to try to coordinate a ban with other countries to have a bigger impact. Would be great to see multiple countries ban it together.

Bruno Mars Update Spotify #14. "I Just Might" #31. "Locked out of Heaven" #47. "That's What I Like" #54. "Die With A Smile" #61. "Grenade" #68. "Just the Way You Are" #80. "APT." #96. "Marry You" #108. "When I Was Your Man" #187. "24K Magic" #197. "Talking to the Moon" Apple Music #9. "I Just Might" #44. "Die With A Smile" #46. "APT." #102. "Locked Out of Heaven" #180. "Just the Way You Are" Amazon #15. "I Just Might" #86. "Die With A Smile" (+#204) #116. "Just the Way You Are" For Amazon, there are multiple versions of various Bruno songs in the 500-1500 area ("Locked Out Of Heaven"/"When I Was Your Man"/"Talking to the Moon"/"That's What I Like" etc). Combined they would likely be near/within the top 200. I'm not sure how to view the Amazon chart which apparantly has all versions combined that I've seen mentioned a couple times? Unless you need to be an Amazon Music member?

Tokyo Tea Room - No Rush
Recently stumbled across this album - it was released in January 2025. Really enjoy it! The band/album genre is dream pop - very similar to The Marias which is likely why I got recommended them! If you like The Marias you would likely enjoy this album. Some great tracks such as "If You Love Her", "There's A Place" & "Tell Me Now":

Aside from Bruno (woudn't be surprised if his streams gained throughout the coming weeks), RAYE has been teasing her next single and recently filmed the music video for it - so I wouldn't be surprised if she releases it just before the BRITS to then perform it maybe? Beyoncé's next album is likely releasing this year as well so wouldn't be surprised to see her release the lead single at some point in the near-future. There are also rumours about Harry Styles' next album being slated for March. Also to add in Olivia Rodrigo who's next album is likely releasing this year and potentially soon. Also the Wuthering Heights soundtrack by Charli XCX releases 13/2 so wouldn't be surprised if Charli has a song do well to cooincide with the movie. There are others also slated this year such as Chappell Roan's next album is releasing at some point too and even Adele is on the cards for later this year. This year is going to be quite interesting with so many big releases on the cards! Bruno - "I Just Might" Spotify: #7 Apple Music: #14 Amazon: #26

Bruno up to #36 on Amazon.

The Online Safety Act
Honestly given all the shit on there and the actual illegal stuff being done which is a big reason for the ban suggestion (AI is being used to alter images of people in horrible ways including creating naked/sexualised images of children) I fully support this notion.

Nice to see DJO at #1! Hoping Bruno might do it next week or the week after. Would be great to see a RAYE-DJO-Bruno turnover at #1!

Bruno wasn't released at midnight either - I think he was released at 5am (12am US east coast). So a slower start is expected on Apple Music. Being #43 is quite good at this stage I think! His music video is quite good and doing decent views which should help, over 3 million views so far globally. Views usually increase at their fastest rate around mid-late Saturday so plenty of time to grow. We won't know the extent of the UK views until Monday/Tuesday when Kworb's 2-day youtube view chart updates. Bruno is at #379 on Amazon which is a good start - most new releases peak on Amazon Sunday/Monday as it takes a while for them to climb. Bruno is added to a number of playlists there already so expect the song to climb up fairly quick on Amazon.

Bruno Mars - I Just Might
Okay I just saw the music video and love it. One of the cases of a music video enhancing a song for me!

RAYE - FEMININE HEELING
Sounds like it's a bop! Another #1 for RAYE? Please *_*

Bruno Mars - I Just Might
Very this! I got Jackson 5 vibes from the song. I quite like it and it's catchy! Should do well for Bruno.

Quite like the new Bruno song! Definitely catchy/a grower with some nice hooks. Slightly disappointed though as it feels very early 2010s Bruno and I was hoping for perhaps a little more progression in sound. I can see the song going viral on the likes of TikTok as it's perfect for a dance challenge.

Jessie J - Don't Tease Me With a Good Time
Only just saw her live performance of "My Way" - STUNNING! Also I quite like a number of the songs on the album - just got round to listening to it!
