Sour Candy

I don't think anyone is MOCKING Sabrina? The criticism is mostly about her sticking with the same formula for a release after SNS. Sooner or later the formula stops working anyway so it would be beneficial to experiment more when she is getting streams and attention by default. In two years time the trends will favour something else anyway.

MASSIVE

Love to see Rain on Me in top 2!!! Thank you for hosting this Bal!

The times are different but a cool stat!

This is a proper world tour we love it!

Truly iconic hit!

LOVE that praise!

GMA is either for new single or Pride month (BTW Foundation). The appearance on Friday of all days makes me think of something related to music, but the platform screams for latter.

Isn't Ordinary on DCL-1? So it would need to return to SCR this week or next to get the record from Bryan Adams.

Oh massive!

Yay at Pulp getting at least some streams then. Surprised that Manchild is not yet #1 on AM. In the US it has stalled at #9, Lil Wayne is #1 there. Sabrina did way better on Spotify though.

Mayhem will probably reach 200k in the UK by the end of the year which is not bad by any means for an international artist who is not in their breakthrough era, but still it will be disappointing if it cannot outsell/outstream Chromatica after all the acclaim and hype. But I'm sure with the tour etc. Mayhem has plenty of life left.

Did Alex go to a pub to keep Sabrina at bay?

This dropped OUT of UK chart... how? That'd be a 30 position drop - surely that's not even possible when it's only down 4k on Spotify daily week-on-week (Wednesday numbers). I give a rough estimate either way.
