Sour Candy

This is a huge mess as expected.

No, it did 1.3M last year.

One of my favourite songs ever so glad it's going viral. The previous boost was Mayhem Ball related I think.

Up to #85 on UK Apple Music. I know it's like 5000 streams but that is unusually high as it's usually around 150

So it's only one song? At least she gets paid well I suppose.

Also with the game being on Saturday, the effect will fade out by Monday. Still 3 days to go from there.

1 million!!!

Gracie is a bit too relevant still, but going the right direction without any top ten hits from this era.

All those football song and others and barely a drop.

This trend was very short-lived but it was fun!

So it's at least 3 more weeks at #1 for RMI and then Ariana possibly on the week starting 31st.

Over 1 million on Spotify on Tuesday (+6.0% week-on-week)

Only third day on chart altogether. RISE!

TEOG

Yea it had a decent week-on-week increase on Spotify even before this. Let's see what happens there.

I like your ambitious thinking here. However, the radio moves so slowly these days that it isn't really worth releasing several singles in such a short period of time. I kinda wish they had made a video for either How Bad or Vanish though.

AN HIT

OMG

^That and the fact, that everyone's listening habits count towards the numbers. Not just people's who most frantically invest in music and related products.

I still think that because streaming is accessible to almost everyone it also shows that people are not that invested in new music as we used to think. The certain demography still goes after what's hot and new but most people stay on their comfort zone and listen to their faves and "beige" music. Which is just natural. Is your father more likely to listen to Wonderwall or Olivia Rodrigo's latest? Of course young people discovering old music is a factor too. A good song is a good song! I think us chart fans should be less obsessed with release dates or years because there probaly truly are millions of people who just heard Michael Jackson's discography beyond Billie Jean or Thriller, for instance, and charts should reflect that. If people have a reason to listen to Wonderwall, who are we to say they should listen to NEW MUSIC instead.

US album chart 83 80 476 The Fame, Lady Gaga (peak: 2)

White Keys is sublime! Totally underrated.

Måneskin is a good catch! That definitely qualifies as a comparison if we consider only bands.
