Was surprised to find out that Creep didn't make the YE when it was released in 1993, turns out in only charted for 6 weeks so not really a surprise. I agree with Julian that NOKIA hasn't done enough to make it this week (I have it at 104.5k fwiw). However, next week we should get Anxiety, NOKIA and Revolving door all entering. I think 360 is out this week either way tbh, think it has to be Brown Eyed Girl replacing it but we'll see. EDIT: Since Austin's resurgence in the last few weeks, I think we can now say with confidence that every song that made the YE top 10 will also make the top 100 this year for the first time ever.

Spotify YTD Top 40 after Q1 That's So True still holds the lead here, unlike on the OCC list where Messy is #1, although I expect Ordinary will be #1 on both lists before too long. Additional positions outside the top 40 available on request.

How is Sultans of Swing #81 on audio streaming. Incredible song but that doesn’t seem correct

That’s a very strong debut imo

Spotify doesn’t fancy updating today clearly

Maybe the new song should have been better then

De La Soul has been added to the credit for Feel Good Inc. on Spotify as of today

Had the Chrystal ball out once again. Agreed with gasman regarding Brown Eyed Girl though, seems to be showing up more regularly on Spotify now so we must only be a couple of weeks away from it appearing imo.

Bed Chem is awful, vocals are painful to listen to, continue to be baffled by its success. Juno is literally right there.

Kworb Apple Chart seems to be slightly bugged: 164 NEW シンシア・エリヴォ - Defying Gravity (feat. Ariana Grande)

Controversial opinion I know, but I actually find Somebody Told Me to be the weakest of the four singles on Hot Fuss. They're all amazing though

I know this is a couple of weeks old now, but I've only just noticed that the song title for the Script song is wrong on the OCC website. It's listed there as 'The Man That Can't Be Moved'

#164 The Killers - All These Things That I've Done (This might be their best song)

It's updated now, genuinely looks like there are no new entries. Not too surprising, none of Jack Harlow's recent releases have really made a splash and Doja Cat's not by any means a guaranteed hit maker. Pretty dead week for big name releases outside of that.

Think greedy probably needs to maintain its current level for a couple more weeks yet before it can re-enter, I think it was probably only doing around 6k a week before Tate's album dropped.

Definitely no fresh music entering this week, think 'Brown Eyed Girl' and 'Feel Good Inc.' are ones to watch out for. Outside shots for 'labour' and 'Creep', don't think anything that's already dropped out this year is doing well enough for a re-entry. A couple of crazy long shots to enter are 'How to Save a Life' and 'Dakota' imo.

This is also a tad confusing to me, It's barely charted at all on Spotify this year and I don't recall seeing it on Apple either, yet it's made the audio streaming chart on 6/11 weeks so far and has stayed on the YTD for much longer than last year where it was consistently charting on Spotify (and made the YE at #174).

Yep I agree with this logic. Also maybe labour by Paris Paloma.

Juno must have climbed this week too right? There's no obvious new entries next week as far as I can tell, so it's up to the random old song generator, 30 for 30, 360 and Another Love are in the danger zone. Also worth noting that Chasing Cars, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Naive and Dog Days are Over have all dipped in Spotify numbers recently but should all be safe for a bit longer I think.

very funny that sabrina has managed that number of sales so far

Would be inclined to agree with Julian that it will be Another Love that makes way for Busy Woman, it's had a couple of fairly underwhelming weeks on Spotify in a row now. I think No One Noticed has probably missed its chance to enter now unfortunately, I'm still hoping for an appearance from Casual, but that's also looking somewhat unlikely now, maybe The Giver will give it a boost to sneak it in next week. Don't see any other obvious entries this week, we'll probably get a ridiculous new entry for Brown Eyed Girl or something.

Interesting to see a big difference at the top of this chart to the Spotify YTD, where That's So True is still above Messy and as of this week is charting above it daily again:

Pink Pony Club is #1 on Apple Music

This is because Ireland doesn't have the rule that prevents resets after Christmas so literally every song gets reset first week of January I think. Not sure how the version with Sleepy Hallow can be described as the remix when that version came out first
