This is an absolute nonsense. Her last album sold over 50k first week in the UK and was one of the fastest selling albums of that year. She’s still a very big name.

Sad seeing Jade fall so much every day… oh well

The BuzzJack Friday Chart Show Thread: 26th July 2024
Shame she couldn't stay top 5 but still a great debut for our Jade. Now get the physicals out now!

Friday Chart Predictions
I think it could be close. Right now it seems like it’s holding up nicely on streaming, and she should get a little boost from vinyl physicals (probs not more than a couple of thousand sales though at most). It depends if she also releases CD physicals next week, as that could even see her reach a new peak in week 2. Although if streaming and vinyls are enough to keep top 10 next week, and CD singles get released in week 3 we could have a three week top 10 on our hands.

Friday Chart Predictions
As amazing as that would be… no one was expecting that at the start of the week. Even with Little Mix, we would never ever be expecting a #1 debut. The aim was always hopefully a top 10 debut and it seems like the song has legs and isn’t going to be super front loaded, so we are in an amazing position.

JADE - Angel of My Dreams • 1st Single
Let’s just say I’m glad she went with AOMD first. The beat sounds identical to ‘Sissy That Walk’

Jade staying stable at 17 again today is brilliant!

JADE - Angel of My Dreams • 1st Single
It’s doing very well on streaming and downloads alone though. Your argument that saving physicals for the second week is ‘artificial’ surely also applies to an artificially high peak first week too if you’re going by that standard. And having a multiple week top 10 as I said will only help with streaming playlisting placements, so that could realistically offset that 3rd week plummet too much. Think Kylie with ‘Padam’ last year. Even having a few weeks low top 10 gave her a few months of very high playlisting on all of the important Spotify playlists etc as it looked like a genuine hit. She didn’t throw physicals out straight away, but did when she needed it.

JADE - Angel of My Dreams • 1st Single
I think Jade has watched Leigh and Perrie drop to 30s-50s in the second week and is very clever holding back the physicals. Having longevity is actually much more important. Imagine if she can keep a position between 4-7 this week, release the physicals next week and remain another week in the top 10. Then promo, radio play etc can ramp up, as it really looks like a genuine hit. That could increase the Hot Hits Spotify playlisting etc. to a higher position and guarantee much more stability for the next month or so... We need to get over the peaking very high first week and then plummet idea, just so she can outpeak Jesy.

JADE - Angel of My Dreams • 1st Single
Wow at her Apple Music performance so far… And looking like she will have second biggest Spotify debut after Jesy (although that obvs had Nicki feature and much much earlier than the other girls) This defo shaping up to be the most promising start for Jade compared to the other girls solo careers.

Starting to lose hope that Tinashe is going to go top 100. How annoyingly close…
-
Perrie - Tears • 2nd Single
Agree with sentiment - it’s nothing special but MUCH better than Forget About Us for me. I do think she should be singing songs that show off her voice much more than this.

Tinashe you're going the wrong way sweetie! I need it to break the top 100 so bad :(

Tinashe rising on a Sunday update is crazy! Coming for top 100 this week for sure.

RAYE - Genesis.
Do we know if chart rules will allow all these versions to be combined?

Come on Tinashe!! This is the day I’ve been waiting for.

Tinashe - Nasty
Got disabled for about 8 hours but Tinashe works hard and it’s back up! Phew
-
Tinashe - Nasty
Not the 'Nasty' sound getting removed and deleted from Tik Tok on the same day she is put on 'Hot Hits' and potentially looking like Billboard Hot 100 for first time in 8 years. So scared this is going to slow it down... the whiplash of being a Tinashe fan.

RAYE - Genesis.
I love her and think she is such a talent... but this not doing it for me. She can be a great songwriter when she wants to be but this is appealing all her worst songwriting habits. Everything is way way too 'on the nose' for me? And the shouting out the 'farmers' 'cleaners' 'chefs' etc. is a cute idea but it could have been a politically charged tweet? It just lacks any form of creative subtlety. Still I am routing for her, but this is a skip.

Tinashe - Nasty
Added to ‘Hot Hits’. The 1.5 million update coming!!!
-
Tinashe - Nasty
Streamed over 1.2 million times yesterday… it just keeps on growing. If a remix is coming next week alongside Jimmy Kimmel performance, this is all lining up for actually breaking Hot 100 isn’t it? So proud of my girl.

Netherlands · Eurovision Song Contest 2024
This is sadly overshadowing everything. I think if he’s not disqualified and performs tomorrow, The Netherlands wins. If he is disqualified I think Israel has this.

Ukraine (1.5M) 6. Israel (1.1M) 7. Italy (922k) 8. Switzerland (895k) 9. Finland (891k) 10. France (775k) 11. Spain (692k) 12. Serbia (591k) 13. Armenia (574k) 14. Cyprus (486k) 15. Lithuania (422k) 16. United Kingdom (381k) 17. Austria (359k) 18. Slovenia (352k) 19. Estonia (302k) 20. Latvia (289k) 21. Georgia (263k) 22. Portugal (260k) 23. Luxembourg (251k) 24.

United Kingdom · Eurovision Song Contest 2024
Based on the YouTube views of the performances 24 hours of the semi-final, here is where Olly placed: 1. Croatia (1.8M) 2. Ireland (1.8M) 3. Ukraine (1.5M) 4. Finland (891k) 5. Serbia (591k) 6. Cyprus (486k) 7. Lithuania (422k) 8. United Kingdom (381k) 9. Slovenia (352k) 10. Portugal (260k) 11. Luxembourg (251k) 12. Sweden (204k) 13. Germany (163k) I know YouTube views won't neccessarily turn into votes, but could be an indicator where the interest is at this point. I am going to try and do the same with Semi-Final 2, exactly 24 hours after it finishes, to see where they place in this list... But it could suggest that Olly is looking like the top of the second half of the board if this is a good predictor.

Radical Optimism • Third Album
Agreed. This is a massively disappointing album. It’s okay, but becoming of one of the biggest popstars in the world? It’s just so bland sadly.
