Big jump for Leon Thomas 😮 Chris Brown remix must be helping it. Looks like the Lottery Winners have it in the bag then, really happy for them!

653k for Alex today, Pink Pony still ahead of Anxiety. Sombr- Back To Friends up to 51 and Undressed up to 122. Not Like Us back above Nokia too, not all hope is lost!

With all the long runners in the chart what's the point of playing every song, it gets memed a lot here but you would genuinely be hearing the likes of Lose Control every week and it would be a real turn-off, plus there's no guarantee they can play everything anyway especially with so many songs without clean edits making the chart/songs by controversial artists. Back in the day with so many new entries/songs entirely fit for radio it would be fine but not in today's chart landscape. Skipping songs is fine if it's the right ones (long-runners/songs on ACR) unfortunately they hardly ever do it right.

Lottery Winners have released an acoustic version of their album, plus are advertising a CD and ticket bundle with a "chart celebration party" planned for next month. They were also on BBC Breakfast so they're going for a big push again

Domino Dancing is just alright to me, prefer some other PSB tracks. Forgot About Dre and Dancing In The Moonlight are both iconic though, shame to lose them this early.

Not saying he's not a streaming giant, just saying he's not as big of a force as before. The Highlights was year to date number 1 on sales of 110,000 this time in 2023, Ed is doing around the same now but is year to date number 3, plus at least 10k of those will be physical sales.

For the first time since 2016 Ed had no songs in the year end top 100 last year. Perfect was in every year since its release, Shape Of You missed the one in 2020 but made every year's list up to 2022, while Shivers and Bad Habits were top 40 three years in a row (Bad Habits the only song to be top 2 for 2 years) then vanished from 2024's list. If the Tour Collection was released in 2021/22 it would've had The Highlights level success, possibly better, but it's currently dipping in and out of the top 5 less frequently than that album did. He's not as big of a streaming giant as before

To be fair Autumn Variations was a low key indie release that received barely any promotion. Subtract still did solidly with only one big hit attached to it. But with interest in his back catalogue going down it's evident that Ed is falling out of fashion somewhat which makes me doubtful

I'm not even convinced Ed will be in the running. Top 10 debut easily but if Eyes Closed is anything to go off he will struggle to go number one.

Unfortunately can't help you on this one. The title of this thread made me think of this classic though so thanks!

Nokia finally overtaking Not Like Us ☹️

Creep and Labour before Brown Eyed Girl 😮 not too surprising given their performance on the indie chart though. Then again I thought Do I Wanna Know was doing better than both...

Also looking like Sabrina will be number 1 album again unless the Lottery Winners have a campaign as aggressive as their last album...

J Hope will surely fall out, looks like we won't have any new entries this week ☹️ When was the last week that happened?

Pink Pony still ahead of Anxiety...
