Envoirment

Eh to be fair "Midnight Sun" only started charting this year and has been on the chart less than half the time "Rein Me In" has. Plus it's been a massive uphill battle for Zara to get another big solo hit so that's why it's been so great to see But yes please to "Lush Life" going back to ACR. We should hopefully see a lot of songs go to ACR come Friday! Right before another heatwave boosts everything again to go back to SCR

I'm here for Tempest's rudemption and making the merge to then get crowned *_* If there are a decent number of acting/comedy challenges I believe they will do well. I can see them being safe in a design challenge too.

Excluding new entries the market in the top 200 is down by ~210k streams. Once you include the new entries/Olivia's album the top 200 market is up week on week although not sure by how much exactly (adding in the NE it's up by ~5 million although that's not a true figure but it's probably somewhere like up 1 mil+) Edit: Managed to figure it out - the top 200 is up by ~1.7 million streams compared to this time last week or ~+7.2%.

I'm hoping with the data a day behind for spotify that it'll increase its lead as the week goes on as "the cure" is decently ahead there. Olivia coming for 100k+ possibly in the album charts?! Great to see Bebe charting in the albums but shame it isn't much higher! Should hold top 100 though come Friday?

Days 1-3 for Olivia's album in tracklist order. For comparison, GUTS had ~2,850,000 streams across 12 songs and SOUR had ~3,825,000 streams across 11 songs by day 3. So on average doing better per track than GUTS but less than SOUR. Although SOUR had a heavy hitter in "good 4 u" doing 1 million+ streams a day at the time. Overall the most steams an album of hers has had on day 3 regardless.

Really good update for Olivia Rodrigo! Looking forward to seeing how much she rises in Monday's update.

So many good ones. Some more to add: Leona Lewis - "Bleeding Love" Leona Lewis - "Happy" Toni Braxton - "Un-Break My Heart" Mariah Carey - "My All" Mariah Carey - "We Belong Together" Whitney Houston - "I Will Always Love You" Celine Dion - "All By Myself" Chaka Khan - "I'm Every Woman" Cheryl Lynn - "Got To Be Real" Donna Summers - "MacArthur Park" Barbra Streisand - "Woman In Love"

It should do - it's been gaining new peaks every day on Spotify the last few days and up to a new peak of #85 today. The music video is doing big views and is #1 in YouTube views for the UK YouTube chart. I expect it may even go top 20 come Friday if it keeps gaining at this rate!

Maybe a combination of world cup + nicer weather? Hopefully it's falling on other streaming services.

Olivia Rodrigo: #1. "stupid song" (531k) #2. "the cure" (503k) #4. "drop dead" (405k) #7. "honeybee" (342k) #8. "my way" (340k) #9. "what's wrong with me" (336k) #10. "maggots for brains" (328k) #11. "expectations" (318k) #12. "u + me = <3" (312k) #13. "begged" #311k) #16. "less" (290k) #18. "purple" (264k) #22. "cigarette smoke" (242k)

Hoping Olivia's album release will help cause most of the DLC-2 to decline so we get a massive clear out soon!

Great start for Olivia. Hoping "the cure" holds up better as the week goes on than "stupid song" to get the #1. "drop dead" may not be her 3rd track so she may get another song top 10/5!

But what the rich do is take out massive loans using their large assets as collateral. Allowing them to borrow millions/billions. But as the money is part of a loan etc it isn't subject to tax... One way they are able to avoid paying large amounts of tax

Sadly just a sign that the world is heading towards a more dystopian future as seen in many sci-fi films as opposed to a utopian future. Wealth inequality is probably the #1 issue the world faces and is the heart of so many issues/problems...

Really enjoyed this episode! Whilst Sam's outfit was the most impressive in terms of construction etc it was honestly just ugly I liked Joey's outfit more... Would've been iconic to have Joey vs Jasmine *_* Jasmine was defo top 2, gorgeous outfit. The lip sync was great - both Sam and Jasmine delivery really tight. Sam just won it out by a bit.

Possibly "Chicago" as that was going viral (hoping it is this!).

Great to see "the cure" #1 on Spotify the day before album release. Should bode well for the new week to go to #1.

Decent drop for "Rein Me In"! Should make it a bit easier for "the cure" to go #1 next week with a low #1 threshold (I assume Taylor will fall quite a bit).

"the cure" for #1 this week please!

Great album, very consistent. I like every song. My highlights: "stupid song" "maggots for brains" "my way" "the cure" "what's wrong with me" "less" "expectations" "cigarette smoke"

3/3 for the singles - another great song!

Had a look at the GUTS album release and these are the increases for the first two singles: "Vampire" went from 31,032 to 43,651 sales (+~40%) "Bad Idea Right?" went from ~19,500 sales to 34,758 (+~78%) "the cure" did 35,675 and "drop dead" 23,488 last week. The former is down ~13.5% this week based on the mid-week Wednesday sales data which means it should be on track for ~31k come Friday. It looks like sales-wise they'll be in a fairly similar position to the GUTS singles perhaps slightly better. These are the sales for "the cure" based on different % boosts for next week: +40% - ~43.4k +50% - ~46.5k +60% - ~49.6k +70% - ~52.7k It'll need to do at at least ~45-46k to be in with a chance of #1 which it might do comfortably depending on how big a boost the album release gives the song. The other spanner in the work is if Olivia's single she is pushing alongside the album release is a big smash and claims the #1 instead!

Really enjoying "Body to Body" recently. I find this album is their most consistent/best overall, although the highs not as high as some of their previous singles ("Fake Love", "Dynamite", "Boy With Luv", "Permission to Dance", "Butter", "My Universe").

Probably one of my favourite releases of 2026, great song!
