GTH

I know the song itself is not from a UK artist, but Madonna’s Into The Groove had a huge revival earlier this year and that was a very UK isolated viral boost. No reason it couldn’t happen with a UK-centric track.

While Christmas music starts appearing in November, it doesn’t dominate the charts until December. Plenty of time for new hits to emerge and have done so in the last few years. Even if new music released around now starts getting overtaken by Christmas music, it will likely lead in the new year. Raindance being the main example of a 2025 November release which got to #1 in Jan 2026.

Faouzia to keep climbing please. 🙏

Amazing for Ashe! Seems to be all the new Taylor songs besides Patient Zero have plummeted on Spotify, with Cleveland! now the lowest of the 4.

Faouzia bubbling under!?! Is her moment finally coming.

All Night Long finally going gold!

The 'Clair Obscur - Expedition 33' soundtrack by Lorien Testard reached #16 on the album chart in February this year.

To be fair, her last era didn’t have your standard release schedule with a focus on releasing tracks in order for the film. Prelude and Something Beautiful were not the most commercial songs to start an era with and was then a battle to get people on board with the follow ups. This sounds super commercial and seems to be getting a big push, so expect it to do well. Maybe more Midnight Sky success instead of Flowers, but would be surprised if it isn’t a long running hit.

Can’t say for sure, but I think it is YouTube. 9 to 5 is doing much better than Jolene on that platform (according to kworb)- likely in part due to 9 to 5 having a music video which Jolene does not.

I think people are writing Jolene off too quickly. It is starting the week in a strong position compared to the other contenders now Rein Me In is on ACR. If Jolene is #1 in the first look charts, I expect that would drum up publicity which should help sustain it a bit longer.

Wiki suggest label politics are the reason with Sony owning the rights and also oversee Dolly’s catalogue, while Kenny’s album was Sony but is now (bar IITS) licensed by his own label with Capitol.

Considering how late the news was in the UK, those are impressive numbers. Definitely feeling optimistic we could see multiple Dolly tracks charting on Friday.

I wish the OCC would relax their 3 track cap as it is so frustrating in cases like this that songs people are connecting with don’t get a chance to chart. Such an iconic artist so I am glad she is getting a lot of love. Wouldn’t be surprised based on the Apple performance so far if we do see some Dolly make the top 40 on Friday, given the low sales climate we’re currently in.

While I am sad Animal hasn't made top 10, I low key love that their last 3 (lead) singles have peaked 16 - 14 - 12. Maybe Hootie Frootie will eventually get that #10 spot another week and continue the trend.

Jamaican (Bam Bam) is such an earworm! Addicted to this right now.
