What is 'labour' by Paris Paloma and why is it a re-entry at #64 on Spotify

She was like 1.5k behind on Monday, that's definitely catchable.

Ngl I wouldn’t rule out Gracie going to #1 this week. Let’s wait for today’s mids.

Just clocked that Cruel Summer is gonna be #11 two years in a row. That's insanely unlucky

Worth noting that KEHLANI (which must have been close to entering this week) has suddenly collapsed on Spotify and is down ~40% week on week in terms of streams. It also wasn't in the mids this week, so I would guess that it now isn't likely to make the YE anymore.

Its longevity was pretty decent tbf - made #68 on the YE which was definitely higher than some songs which out-peaked it

the Pogues are now above Shaky on Apple

Combined 1st/2nd November Spotify Streams 2023: All I Want for Christmas is You: 320k Last Christmas: 290k 2024: All I Want for Christmas is You: 285k Last Christmas: 260k Significantly slower start this year

The Cure still doing well on Apple Music: #96 Alone #135 And Nothing is Forever #174 A Fragile Thing Christmas songs also continuing to climb: #63 Last Christmas #86 All I Want for Christmas is You #169 Merry Christmas Everyone #196 Fairytale of New York

No that’s not true, there’s been songs that have gone to ACR after only 4 weeks on the chart due to being over 3 years old

Is #1 -> #123 the biggest fall off from #1 ever or did Three Lions or something have worse? Monster Mash went #2 -> OUT which must be a record

Apple: #44 The Weeknd & Anitta - Sao Paulo #62 Central Cee - One by One (A COLORS SHOW) #139 The Cure - Alone #192 The Cure - And Nothing is Forever #95 Wham! - Last Christmas #151 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You

A rough look at the Spotify numbers tells me that Red Wine Supernova is probably also on ACR now, so I wonder if Casual could chart next week instead replacing Pink Pony Club

Only two new releases showing up on Apple so far: #46 The Weeknd & Anitta - Sao Paulo #78 Central Cee - One By One (A COLORS SHOW) and... #160 Wham! - Last Christmas no Mariah yet

Has anything ever gone 1-OUT on Spotify before - Last year all the Halloween songs were gone on November 1st.

Spotify #1 Ghostbusters (540,581) #2 Monster Mash (493,169) #5 This is Halloween (382,528) #6 Somebody's Watching Me (380,239) [#5 Combined; 463,005] #9 Thriller (367,926) [#1 Combined; 601,913]

Thriller is #1 on Apple

Apple: #12 Thriller #22 Ghostbusters #33 This is Halloween #46 Somebody's Watching Me #55 & #130 Monster Mash #71 Superstition #73 Spooky Scary Skeletons #108 Highway to Hell #120 Psycho Killer #144 Zombie #155 Hungry Like the Wolf #156 Bad Moon Rising #161 Paint It Black #179 Time Warp #200 Look What You Made Me Do Spotify: #57 Ghostbusters #63 Monster Mash #75 Thriller #108 This is Halloween #131 Somebody's Watching Me #142 Maneater #145 Zombie #177 Toxic #188 Sweet but Psycho #193 Disturbia

Then I guess if the Pogues make it, Dance the Night will miss

Oh wow, my estimates for Take on Me and Dance the Night have been far too generous recently in that case. I’m very surprised as to how short-lived the Oasis boost has been and agree that Don’t Look Back in Anger is in trouble. How would you rate Naive’s chances? Its Spotify numbers have dropped a lot in the past month or so.

Thank you! I imagine it probably won't hold up well enough tbh. I expect Move to be more of a factor, that didn't drop at all this week and I have that at ~320,000 so I think that could definitely make it.

I’d give the Pogues a 50/50 shot at making it probably. Do you have an estimate for 360 Julian? That may have a better chance than I initially predicted.

New Tyler, The Creator album is doing very well on Apple Music, and based on last week's single will do even better on Spotify. Nine songs top 50 and the remaining 5 all in the top 100. I would predict Mr. Brightside will leave the Spotify top 50 tomorrow for only the 9th day this year.

That’s a shocker

Seems tough for Gaga to get #1 from there. Thriller now #74 on Apple but didn't show up on Spotify in yesterday's update. Halloween(ish) Zombie (#173) and Maneater (#177) are in the chart though. 1400 consecutive days for Mr. Brightside too.
