GTH

We have a split between paid for streams (1:100) and free streams (1:600) so without knowing the split it is difficult to gauge exactly what ‘sales’ have come from that one day.

Definitely prefer the ACR chart for this week with The Anxiety breaking top 20. Seeing if you really love me so low is definitely a blessing I wish carried into the actual chart :lol:

Just Spotify

Let’s hope cold shoulder gets picked up on TikTok before it gets the chance :P

I have gone for 1-1.25 million for day 1 and 2-2.5 for peak. Can’t see it beating Wham and Mariah’s peaks though.

If Tik Tok was around at the time, you know there would have been a load of people imitating the video. Not long now until we see how the hype translates into Easy On Me sales. :dance:

Big jump for 25. Wondering how high it goes before 30 comes out.

Levitating’s longevity has been crazy. Must be a contender for year end #1 at this point. Cold Heart also making good gains now. :cheer:

Great result for Elton/Dua. Let’s hope they replicate this in the UK come Friday. Pleased for Willow too, one of my fave songs at the moment.

Crazy it wasn’t available to buy/stream until last year. Major missed opportunity not making it available at the time. Glad to see it getting a little attention at least now

I am surprised to not see Maneskin at all considering this is their first new single after blowing up with beggin’ and IWBYS. Do we think there might be some sort of glitch or are they just bombing?

They are great for collectors items so far more appealing these days than a download. I just wish we got b-sides in more of them to incentivise fans to get the exclusive content. If the artists I followed released some with b-sides, I would definitely pick up the cd.

It’s the first solo LM song and Jesy has by far had the most press (whether she wanted it or not), so not surprised there are loads of curiosity streams/listens. Time will tell if it holds out.

I went with ABBA second week though I wouldn’t be surprised if Ed’s streaming edges it. ABBA have shown that they can still get respectable streams though so won’t be like a lot of other front loaded albums where there is no streaming presence. Taylor has done well with her first weeks and Red was the first big album campaign for Taylor here so has that behind it.

It is one album I would actually quite like having a physical copy of because of the artwork. Hopefully a physical cd/vinyl release will follow in the future.

Hopefully this will be a turning point for Billboard like Divide was over here. You know most of the tracks will plummet next week, just like the Kanye ones did this week. It’s only going to get worse otherwise, what with Billboard rules encouraging albums with 20+ track lists.

I see what you did there. ;) Disappointing result for JLS. I do think the return of ABBA took away a lot of publicity that would have gone into their return, but I didn’t see any big promo pushes happening. Unless you are global icons, you can’t do a comeback without the promo to show people you are back.

Shivers going in the wrong direction. Going to need the regain some ground if Ed is after a multi-week #1. Will have to check out that Anxiety track. Willow coming for that second top 40 hit this year.

Ahh, I thought it might be too late for Dermot to break through. Rooting for Better Days to hold on!

Shivers sounds huge, very commercial. Have no doubt it will do very well. Will see what tactics Ed and his label bring out to get the number one by a comfortable margin.

Jason Derulo ‘just’ scraping top 100. Actually like this one so wouldn’t mind this climbing. Better than some of his more recent singles. ABBA domination in the charts with Gold was expected but nice to see Voulez-Vous and Arrival getting enough interest to chart too.

Hoping for a good clear out next week based on that 2 week decline list. Crazy Pink has held out so long. I think the song will be remembered better than the chart position suggests.

Poor JLS dropping out rather than climbing. Really couldn’t have ended up being a worse week for their comeback single.

Sunday first looks always have loads of missing data so fully expecting the ABBA tracks to both be top 5 today. Good promo story still even if it isn’t an accurate chart.

Billboard charts don’t have any rules around capping a number of tracks when calculating streamed album sales, so we are seeing more and more of these bloated track lists which give them a major uplift on the US charts. No doubt Drake’s album sales will look massive there. 60k here would very impressive still considering scorpion had big lead singles to hype up the release with. Will see if the drop in downloads will stop it beating Scorpion’s first week. Those ABBA Spotify numbers! So pleased for them. Let’s hope they don’t drop off a cliff as the week goes on.
