GTH

Tbf to Spotify, every single release of Flo's has been on their New Music Friday playlist (it's how I discovered them). It's no Today's Top Hits or Hot Hits UK, but still something.

No real casualties here then.

This. The only uproar with a reset would be on chart websites like this. If the general public cared about getting Mr Brightside out the charts, they would have stopped streaming years ago. :lol: Agree in principal with an automatic reset for a recent death for the top 3 songs that week/songs getting the 50% week on week increase. Ed sales definitely looking healthier now. Let’s see if this can translate into some longevity. Really hoping Cuff It can hold on. A post album release top 10 would be a great result for Bey. :cheer:

Worth noting the Pokémon game the song is linked to won’t be out until near the end of November. If there is promo/marketing planned, it will be spread out with the last push then. Ed has done very well playing the long game for previous releases. Really impressed Unholy is holding up so well. Figured most of it was the pre-release Tik Tok hype, but clearly has a lot of general support. Great for both artists even if it isn’t either’s finest output by far.

A full album would be a surprise, but figure she has to do something to promote tour tour and capitalise on end of year sales. A deluxe edition of 30 would be nice enough, ideally with an I Drink Wine radio edit.

Spotify definitely feels quite messy now. So many songs coming through with new peaks yet they are practically all old songs. I get this just reporting what people are listening to, but this surge seems abnormal. Arctic monkeys new one nowhere to be seen but multiple fact songs in the top 50. Hoping the TikTok influence calms down ‘soon’. On that note, great to see Until I Found You climbing again.

Same here, think it is the best thing she has put out in a good while.

Would be an interesting chart if we we end up with multiple versions of the same song top 40 by next week. Who knows if inteeest in downloads etc hold up without a campaign behind it.

It is funny looking back at some of the flop/underperformance comments at the time. Can’t underestimate Ed’s ability to promote and sell over a long period. Those 99p cds for chart stability were a good investment. :lol: Rooting for Kate to be top 5 by end of year. On the other hand, Mr Brightside is too close to the top 20 for my liking.

Great to see its iTunes sales holding up so well to keep it there. Don’t believe the big top 40 tracks anything else, unless I am mistaken?

#21 in Sweden and #45 in the Netherlands week 1. This matches the peak for Work Bitch in the Netherlands and beats it in Sweden. Highest charting song since Scream & Shout there. Should see more European chart positions trickle through over the weekend.

Yeah, I am expecting it to slip to 4 or 5 by Friday, but given Britney’s last time top 5 here was Scream & Shout, that is a great achievement. Let’s just hope it has some legs and stabilises/climbs up over time. Playlisting will be key.

One Republic have always seemed a bit like Maroon 5 in that with the right song, they could always get another hit. Counting Stars in itself was a surprise hit initially. Glad this has done well, but as others have mentioned, they have put our better material in the last year. Shame Elton/Britney is dropping daily still, especially with such low numbers at the top of the chart. Hopefully it stabilises soon. Apple at least are giving decent support.

Top 10 looking pretty fresh! An exciting few weeks with all the different #1’s coming through. After the top 10 however… Shame Demi couldn’t get a higher position, but it doesn’t feel like the label have really put any effort into promoting this one. Was expecting Panic to at least scrape top 40, but clearly not had the right support either.

I guess it helps that this is basically Elton's follow up to Cold Heart, so there is an element of carry over interest from that which is still very visible a year on. If it was just Britney, I doubt it would get such an instant playlist placement.

Definitely feels like one of the biggest music headlines of the year as her first release after the conservatorship. Let’s the hope the press translates to chart success. That complex song is really nice - totally get why it is doing well on Tik Tok based on what they have recently helped do well.

This is such a nice breezy summer tune. Would have liked more solo parts for each like cold heart did but you can still hear both at least and the ad libs are nice. Hopefully an extended mix comes out at some point as it does feel a little short.

So hyped for this! Have avoided listening to the leaks so far as I want to make sure it is the final version I am hearing for the first time. There definitely seems to be an air of hype beyond the fanbase, so I really hope this does well for Britney (and Elton I guess :lol: ).

They haven’t really supported Demi at all this campaign so I am not surprised. Guessing the label haven’t given Spotify enough inc£ntiv£ to promote it.

I don’t think Madonna has ever been a streaming success, or even done that well on download sales for albums previously. The physical is what most fans will be waiting for and this will now include the 50 track deluxe that isn’t on streaming yet. It is a remix album still so who knows if the hardcore fans will care as much as they would a studio album or standard compilation.

I stand corrected on that song then! That dancing pony ad really did wonders for that song’s legacy. :lol:

I think Eliza is picking up enough pace for us to hopefully avoid George getting a #1 with GGG by default. Bit late spotting this, but anyone know a reason why Summer of 69 and Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere have climbed back in the top 100? Figure it could well just be due to a low sales climate, but they aren’t the normal songs creeping back in.

Hoping for Madonna and think it has a good shot, especially the deluxe version which seems pretty comprehensive of her career. With Steps I guess it will come down to how devoted the fanbase is, but is there the same demand for a new greatest hits. I don’t know. Not expecting much for Demi. Panic and Aitch are the two I think could go either way.

That DJ Khaled/Drack is awful. Really sounds there is no effort these days on some of their output. History is catchy enough, but I hope we move away from this dance pop sound soon as it is getting harder to tell the DJs apart between Joel, Jax, Sigala, David Guetta and Galantis. At least Calvin is sticking with something a bit different even if it is far from his best.

I saw on billboard that she had 5 number one singles there. Shame it doesn’t feel like Olivia has had much of a legacy in the UK beyond Grease and a couple of her 80s singles when she had a decent country career with big global hits before Grease.
