The streams are almost certainly fake

BIRDS OF A FEATHER at #5 and less than 1k behind Messy is insane

Yeah that Derulo thing is pretty suspicious imo

As an Ed fan, I’m not sure there’s a lot of positives to take from that debut tbh. I do think it sounds like a hit and could potentially grow to be big, but a weaker debut than I was expecting.

Teenage Dirtbag is doing well but there's a number of songs ahead of it on the Spotify YTD which also aren't in the OCC one as of yesterday's weekly Spotify chart. #55 Tyler, The Creator feat. Kali Uchis - See You Again (#62 Drake - NOKIA) #71 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton - Can't Hold Us #73 Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie #74 Djo - End of Beginning (#75 Doechii - Anxiety) #76 Arctic Monkeys - I Wanna Be Yours #77 Coldplay - The Scientist #78 Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag

I'm still half expecting Brown Eyed Girl to show up every week tbh. Given the auto-play cut on Spotify I'd have Feel Good Inc. dropping out along with Popular and probably labour (for NOKIA, Revolving door and Anxiety). If there is to be a fourth new entry I think it could be any of Apple, Everybody Wants to Rule the World or La La La dropping out. I've also done a rough estimate for Sultans of Swing which I think is on somewhere between 105k and 110k as of today's chart so could potentially appear in a few weeks.

No Ed on Apple yet?

Why is Somedays climbing again. Genuinely honking tune.

So a bunch of his songs would’ve made the 2017 YE list without charting. Interesting that 8 years later we’re still waiting for a song to do that (although I Wanna Be Yours came close).

All of Divide is platinum right? Not sure how many tracks would’ve charted if the three track rule existed before it. Maybe 6 or 7?

No we do not

Just after Feel Good Inc. finally makes the YTD, Spotify turns off its autoplay. Big drops for that and Rather Be today. Decent re-entry for PUSH 2 START, any reason behind that?

Thanks gasman. Worth noting that at least a couple of these would’ve made the top 40 without ACR. Frank Ocean’s Lost being the most obvious example as far as I can see. Maybe 505 too but I’m less sure about that one.

Thanks for the extensive update Julian, I was overestimating Apple. Popular is definitely out next week, not sure which other two go with it, would guess La La La and Apple, but labour could also drop back out I think. Close to You must have been pretty close to dropping out before the tour boost the other week (think I had it as low as #99, not sure if that would be correct). Shame it looks unlikely to have the legs to make it, the only Gracie song I actually like lmao

All the Stars only 4k behind Not Like Us

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.

That’s a very strong debut imo

Spotify doesn’t fancy updating today clearly

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.

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)
