Maybe Chappell can do it then, especially as Kendrick’s only likely to fall further. Beautiful Things almost certainly returning to #3 is absolutely tragic

Didn’t Supersonic almost make top 40 last year on its physical re-release

Based on the performance of his already released singles I find that pretty unlikely (same goes for Tate McRae’s album which is also our Friday).

All of Not Like Us’s competitors are also on a downward trajectory though so it doesn’t seem impossible that he holds on to me

Seems a stretch imo, Chappell is still doing better on Apple than both luther and All the Stars and I'm pretty sure she'll have a better premium ratio too, would expect her to hang on at #3. I am starting to feel that Not Like Us staying at #1 next week is increasingly likely too.

No surprises to see Go Your Own Way back for the second time this year (#93 in 2023) and All the Stars (#38 in 2018) also appears. Ransom has now dropped out on audio streaming so every song to have charted every week there is on the YTD, however Another Love and The Sound of Silence still haven't charted on audio streaming this year. 30 for 30 is the only nailed on entry next week imo, however See You Again or Casual making an appearance wouldn't surprise me either. NIGHTS LIKE THIS, Constellations and I Always Wanted a Brother are in danger.

7 out of 8 on my prediction is pretty good. I like the way you kissed me actually dropped out on Spotify last week so probably should’ve seen that coming. Also you justice for Lefty Gunplay being left out on tv off

It must have a crazy premium ratio if it ends up making it, that said it’s doing better than Everywhere on streaming which seems to chart officially most weeks.

Surely Pink Pony Club for #1 next week?

Might be the same as what happened with Wicked (and Encanto I think) initially where more than 3 showed up in the mids, but they sorted it out by the end of the week

Red Wine Supernova reset probably denied Casual a top 40 spot this week. Would’ve been interested to hear the attempt to make that radio friendly

I would guess the same rules apply to this that would apply to a film soundtrack for example so only 3 songs are allowed to chart regardless of the lead artist. If anyone could tell me what a 'Pim' is as that seems to be the lead artist on one of the songs that would be great.

#105 (RE) Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me Also #184 on Apple Always love to see this in the chart even if it’s only for one day a year, surpassed a billion Spotify streams earlier this week too.

Heat Waves also came extremely close

Add a re-entry for Go Your Own Way to that list, probably at the expense of NIGHTS LIKE THIS

Great to see Sultans of Swing 3x platinum (+ Whatever it sold on original release).

What a terrible prediction this was. Did not expect it to have such a big impact ngl.

New Drake album is listed as PartyNextDoor and Drake as opposed to Drake and PartyNextDoor so I suspect the impact will be fairly limited

The original version of Body also mentions Megan Thee Stallion. Also this is extremely tenuous and definitely doesn’t count but River by Eminem mentions Gwen Stacey who was played by Emma Stone in the Amazing Spider-Man films. You could argue that Stone had a #1 album with the La La Land soundtrack

It’s been out a week, that doesn’t count as established at the top of the chart.

Hopefully the OCC reset All the Stars so it can chart ahead of tv off.

This is a pretty big exaggeration, the highest Rihanna song charted at #32 after the Super Bowl. Kendrick has six songs above #32 today, think it’s fair to say this is a bigger impact by some way.

Any song by that artist is likely to be popular tbf

No surprises to see Not Like Us (#43 last year) back in with Unwritten dropping straight back out. Not Like Us has now charted on audio streaming too. Next week I expect to see Sports car, Abracadabra and probably All the Stars too. End of Beginning, Thick of It and You've Got the Love are in trouble. Don't Stop Me Now can sort of be tracked by the Rock & Metal chart, it's usually pretty useless but is an okay guide atm with The Sound of Silence and The Emptiness Machine both charting. Go Your Own Way is basically a guessing game though, I'm surprised it held on so long as it's doing a lot worse on Spotify (where it's barely charted at all) than last year where it only survived til week 3. Same goes for Don't Stop Me Now tbf.

Jimin with a not at all suspicious re-entry at #66
