I'm not the biggest fan of the song but I'd take Cardi over that paedophile-enabling Minaj thing any day.

Jason Derulo with 3 songs in the Top 20? 2020 gets stranger and stranger.

You can try and spin it that way if you want but physical sales are in the toilet so #9 on sales only is still a poor result.

I'd no idea False Alarm sold so well, seriously underrated.

Woah, that is a disastrous result for Ellie.

Hallucinate samples Lately.

First Dua samples Lisa Scott-Lee, then she brings Madonna and Missy in for a remix. She is not letting the gays breathe in 2020!

Did Kylie's Dancing chart at all on Spotify when that was released? I'm not expecting Say Something to do much on streaming but it would still be an interesting point of reference.

On the subject of Q4, I don't think it's quite the battlground it once was. Sales are definitely up during that period but Q4 2019 was quite poor for big sellers. Physical sales being further impacted by Covid could also heavily play into it this year.

Yasss Dua coming for that Lisa Scott Lee-sampling smash.

I'd imagine a lot of those hardcore fanbases will still buy the album in Week 1 regardless so it may not have as big an impact on legacy acts as we think. We're also seeing more and more alternate formats being produced e.g. vinyls, cassettes, etc. that will help bump up Week 1 sales. To be honest I really wish Billboard would re-look at the Hot 100 and the album bombs which are dropping weekly and making the charts painful to read. My interest has waned so much in the past few months. Surely these tracks should only be counting towards the album totals when streamed as part of the album?

This forum is really going downhill with the arrival of certain members lately derailing these threads. Take it to stan twitter where they'll appreciate your pettiness.

Great to see huge radio support for Ella, hopefully streaming follows!

Are Americans getting smaller? So many little people these days.

What's brought this classic back?

It's not an exact quote but didn't Ellie Goulding say this about one of the (many) dreadful singles she released prior to Power?

Anastacia making a big noise? Maybe in 2003.

Wow that's a really terrific result for Ella. I know iTunes sales are minimal these days but it's still a lot higher than her solo releases from the past 12 months?

He has a 'new' album later this year :lol:

He released his new song today.

It sounds ok but it's she's a bit late for the tropical pop trend and it's quite dated.

Break My Heart is doing very well considering how slow US radio is and the fact Dont Start Now is still gaining.

It's a shame radio haven't supported Ava Max more as the public are clearly responding well to it given its chart longevity.

It's still a very strong first day, I'd imagine it just didn't have a radio deal like Stupid Love?

Poor brave Carly Rae not getting a look in.
