Hi, this did not fix the issue

Ever since the website update, I am unable to post at all on my phone (using Safari browser on iPhone). When I click on the 'Reply to this topic...' box it opens a text box window with a circle in it which just stays there and never gives me any ability to type. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Back in the Spotify chart having dropped out the last couple of weeks so it's definitely avoiding

Some very large climbers for no good reason #50 (+68) Unwritten #52 (+73) Austin (Boots Stop Workin') #62 (+97) greedy

Having now done my estimations I agree with gasman that Ordinary and Arm's Length are definitely in this week at the expense of I Always Wanted a Brother and End of Beginning (#23 last year, re-entering this week), which seemed to get a one week boost on Spotify before falling back again. I also think Valerie might be in trouble soon. Always possible we get a surprise entry again like The Chain last week, which is actually outperforming Go You Own Way on Spotify despite not having charted on audio streaming yet this year - I assume the two songs sales are fairly highly correlated and Go Your Own Way re-entered on audio streaming this week, so I'd predict The Chain to be safe for at least this week. EDIT: Forgot to add this as I hadn't really been paying attention until this week, but where are Burning Down's sales coming from, it's doing very well given it isn't charting on either Apple or Spotify.

The Pitbull tour effect on Spotify has been much bigger than I would've expected: #53 Give Me Everything #74 DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love #96 Timber #150 Time of Our Lives #189 Hotel Room Service #194 International Love

Not a fair comparison, for a song to achieve 300k sales from streaming it would need to be streamed at absolute minimum 30 million times assuming that all streams were 'premium streams'

The argument for the charts not being 'real' shouldn't be down to streaming itself imo, which is for the most part a fair metric of popularity but ACR which distorts it beyond belief - often the case where songs in the weekly top 40 aren't even in the top 100 of the week when you take out ACR

Haven't calculated my estimates for last week yet but I would guess that Djo will go straight back out.

Wow at The Chain, was not on my radar at all as it has not charted on audio streaming yet this year (no idea when it last did tbh). As alluded to already, it was incredibly unlucky to miss out on the YE list in 2021 as it got pushed out by Merry Christmas Everyone in the last week I believe (unofficially but almost certainly #101 for the year). Although very unlikely, I would love it to make the year end, one of the best songs of all time imo.

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

Surely Pink Pony Club for #1 next week?

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.
