Looks like Dracula is combined today

Man I Need by miles

Very kind of you to take a holiday so that I could catch up with my predictions

wow, have been crazy busy so only just caught up fully with week 4 and 5, thankfully Julian hasn't done week 6 just yet. Out of week 5's entries, only 'One Dance' has made a year end before (#1 in 2016 and #80 in 2017). Given its poor ratio, I can't see 'Boys Don't Cry' holding on for the whole year, even though I would love it too. Been a bit out of touch with the charts, but I still think 'Fame is a Gun' is a good shout to enter in week 6, which is asof week 5 the highest song on the Spotify YTD not in the OCC list following 'One Dance' and 'Boys Don't Cry' now entering here. That said we'll probably get some random old song instead.

Wow

This is literally ACR

If new songs aren’t able to chart with all the restrictions already against old songs then they don’t deserve to be there. Simple.

That’s really poor from BPI given the album was released in 2017

How many weeks in a row over 50k now for Man I Need

Wasn’t expecting this to reach 5x for a while. Love to see it, one of my favourite songs

It can go to ACR and get reset on the same week. Has happened before

With the exception of Christmas, Man I Need has been #1 since last August basically. ACR is just distorting things to make the chart appear more interesting

Forgot to do my overview on last week's entries' year end history. Midnight Sun has obviously never made a year end chart before. Sex on Fire has made five previous year end's including last year (2008: #7, 2009: #18, 2023: #100, 2024: #70, 2025: #89) Dakota was #40 in 2005 and most likely #101 last year. Dakota is also yet to chart on audio streaming this year, joining A Bar Song, Mystical Magical and the two Sam Fender songs in that category Let's see what next week brings

Any idea how close “Save Myself” might be to platinum?

Answered your own question

I’m not disputing that. They just shouldn’t be in the chart

Wow Noah. Ffs at another White Noise track. Spotify need to exclude them

Oh good they reset As It Was even though it was ineligible

Some pretty bad guesses from me this week then. Surprised the Cure didn’t make it, hopefully next week. Fingers crossed Dakota can make it this year having just missed out last time

Don't rule out One Dance, Fame is a Gun or The Man Who Can't Be Moved imo

Not sure if this has ever happened before on any chart but the top 40 on the audio streaming chart this week is made up of the exact same 40 songs as last week

I mean it’s ineligible by the rules but it’s anyone’s guess what the OCC will do

If it remains in the top 200 for the remaining 5 days of the week we should be able to deduce from the weekly chart

Songs dropping out incorrectly isn’t unheard of. “Too Sweet” dropped out for a day in its release week

Number 67 is missing from the global chart. Could be Arctic Monkeys. Doesn’t explain the UK chart tho
