Envoirment

Alyssa Edwards x Backrooms. Video made me chuckle!

Taylor should push back the release to the 19th to give her a chance against SuBo's "Just One" which is out Friday by the looks of things as well. Song of the summer incoming to save us from "Rein Me In"

Song of the summer

That can read so wrong

Oo yes the video dropping Monday should hopefully give it a nice boost. If the video is good it could also make the song connect more with people.

Underwhelming start for Ariana. Maybe she'll hold on well and the physicals will sell a lot?

Really looking forward to Vivacious going top 2 *_*

Great 2nd episode for Bracket 2. I would've had Salina in the top 2 though, I thought she was the best with either Crystal or Silky with her. I was a little worried for Silky in the lip sync but when she did the costume change and pulled out the fabric and started twirling it was so great and she timed blocking Crystal's moves with it so well a couple time I thought April & Aura did well too. Vivacious was OK but I was expecting a little more - particularly the runway after last week!

Urgh all the resets done ruined everything. "Freakin' Out" made top 200 on spotify for the first time this week (albeit briefly) so was expecting it to climb into the top 75. But it's no longer in the chart. 😭

Olivia's label are pushing "the cure" fully as a 2nd single now after its really good 1st week. Now #1 on Today's Top Hits (Ariana #2) with today's playlist update and being service to radio in the US. Should hopefully mean its 2nd week will soften or perhaps she could improve. She's not far off #1 on Spotify - granted Ariana will likely be #1 for a few days at least. But perhaps we could see "the cure" climb enough to overtake "Rein Me In"? Particularly as I expect "Rein Me In" will decline a bit this week after its heatwave boost.

The taste, it's mine too! Looking forward to the music video - fingers crossed it's good/makes the song resonate with people more.

Sadly the chart is even more stale than I thought it would be. I'm hoping we'll get an influx of new music soon to help clear the chart. Olivia & Ariana's new albums, perhaps Beyoncé releasing a new album... Maybe SuBo is the answer instead!

I'm hoping most of the MJ songs will decline/go on ACR to allow "Chicago" to start charting soon.

Great for Maisie!!

The heatwave caused a lot of songs to increase enough for a reset. Maybe "Dreams" is still to come in the chart too...

This is great! Love the production.

The new Ariana song is great, love the production. Very promising start on Apple Music, will hopefully get to #1 without too much trouble.

SuBo coming for Honey G

Another bop!! I hope this can chart in the top 100 this week.

The remix is really good, I hope it manages to chart!

Bebe top 100 on Amazon now at #97. Hoping "New Religion" somehow avoids ACR or goes back to SCR to get that top 40 peak at some point this summer.

Bebe also up to #117 on Amazon, almost top 100!

Grown on me more and more. I prefer it to "drop dead" now!

"drop dead" had a bigger drop %-wise. Day 1: 919,224, Day 2: 501,930. ~45% decrease "the cure" Day 1: 603,265, Day 2: 406,559. ~33% decrease So "the cure" is doing better based on 2nd day. Granted the streams are lower but "the cure" has less playlist support and less hype. Will be interested to see how it holds up throughout the week and see if it starts doing better on further days compared to "drop dead"!
