Thank god Calm Down is not In The top ten anymore

Sam Fender and Rema are great examples of persistent ACR-dodging. What is the record number of times that a song has dodged it?

How has The One That Got Away re-entered the Top 40? It is TikTok?

DBE only reached number 91. It’s over for that group now.

The record is All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey with 53

Lush Life ties with Someone You Loved with 31 weeks in the top ten

This chart is great again this week.

Great to have Madonna back. I can remember when Who’s That Girl and the Pet Shop Boys single It’s A Sin held the top two in July 1987.

Olivia Dean has been massive in the last year

Has The Fate Of Ophelia dropped out?
