Where’s Sparks? Must be close now right?

No one commuting to work is the reason and parties not being possible

Chart sales were embarrassingly low when Ariana was #1 - six weeks number one and it didn’t even make the year end and then only barely made the 2021 one despite the cut off being insanely low

The OCC will definitely post an article when Mr. Brightside catches. Would expect not until until April/May next year.

I’d noticed “Romantic Homicide” by d4vd had re-entered the Spotify chart recently and some research suggests this is for very bad reasons…

Excuse me?!

regardless of your opinion on Ed, I think people should appreciate how insane it was for Divide to dominate in the way that it did. The UK Spotify numbers for Shape of You and Castle on the Hill were like 3x anything ever seen before, only big jump that’s comparable since is Easy on Me. And for every single album track to chart above the highest song not from the album will probably never happen again

Resurgence big enough to re-enter officially this week too, so might be safe for a while if it can keep the momentum up. Another Love re-entered the audio streaming chart and greedy had a bit of a boost on Spotify too. Don’t know if we’re expecting any entries this week, but I think even if Another Love drops out briefly, The Sound of Silence and Everybody Wants to Rule the World are in more long term trouble. Dirty Cash and Juno are also tanking near the bottom of the top 100 so would expect them to drop out soon-ish too.

THE MAN!!

What’s with the Tate McRae resurgence recently, is she touring or something? There is a Light That Never Goes Out makes the weekly chart for the first time at #198

Thursday’s streams don’t come in until >1pm on Friday. Whereas Friday to Monday’s streams updated overnight yesterday, would be very surprised if they aren’t included today.

Not a single song from the Bieber deluxe showed up? Oh dear

Thanks, I had noticed a resurgence for it on Spotify the last couple of weeks, I guess due to her new material as You've Got the Love also re-entered.

Confused as to what the 4th song between Nice to Each Other and No Broke Boys is. Have got greedy, The Sound of Silence and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, but none of my other estimates from last week would logically end up below 315k this week Think it has to be either Dog Days are Over or Dakota, but not sure which.

Looks like no update today either

No Spotify data will almost certainly be helping Gaga

Are they? Chart’s still stuck on Thursday for me

Based on the absolute state of that update, it’s pretty clear the OCC also still have no Spotify data. We don’t learn anything from that, hopefully will be sorted by Wednesday.

Justice for New Romantics. At least Style and Wildest Dreams made it.

This could be the most irrelevant first look of all time

Literally two posts above…

Literally not true - this time they’ve actually followed their rules

Will anyone actually care

Even if they did have 25% increases (they definitely did), Live Forever, Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger and Supersonic should’ve been barred from a reset by the OCC’s own rules. Same with Yellow and Viva La Vida (not that they even got the increase, so their reset makes no sense), Sparks however deserved one by the OCC’s rules
