I wouldn’t read too much into the TV airplay chart. It means plays have probably gone 40-8-24 or something similar. Music channels are dead, sadly, so the few that are left will have a disproportionate impact on the chart.

Anything that leads to any sort of Jess Glynn resurgence should be banned.

Our population is only 5.3m, even with the North included it's only over 7m.

This would be an absolutely dreadful approach. The US charts basically encourage artists to add more filler tracks to albums to artificially inflate sales. Given its duration, Taylor Swift's last album would have been #1 here for about 30 weeks triggering a Buzzjack meltdown.

How come Hard Fi’s album is back? Assuming some sort of anniversary release?

Curious if Fergie's London Bridge will be pick up on streaming over the next few days. She's just released a new video to promote the Netflix series, Too Much.

Really curious how Kesha’s album will chart. Her placements have been so erratic to say the least.

Interesting to see how well Sabrina's Taste has performed this year vs. Please Please Please, despite the latter having more sales overall.

At least Lewis is likeable and not peddling Mormon music to the masses.

Are (m)any of the tracks featured prominently in the film?

Related to the recent discussion around old tracks clogging up the charts, the Australian charts have announced some interesting rule changes. From Sept 1st, all songs over 2 years old will no longer sit on the main singles chart. Thoughts? The ARIA Charts are changingThe ARIA Charts are changing#ARIACharts

I’m rally surprised Benson isn’t doing better, his profile has increased significantly since he released his debut. Maybe it’ll hang around a bit longer but opening sales look a bit underwhelming.

Unusual to have a week where an album didn’t drop off the chart after being in the Top 10.

I think he's done it because of how close the battle is for the US #1. I'm hoping Alex can keep the UK #1 just to witness the Buzzjack meltdowns.

Sabrina’s teaser for the new single broke the record for most likes on Twitter so there’s definitely huge anticipation for new material.

You underestimate the Swifties. Not that it means much but Reputation is #1 on iTunes US.

But it hasn't left cinemas since release?

Louise is at #7 today: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/sparks-set-sights-on-first-number-1-album-with-mad/

So many Eurovision entries in the TV Airplay chart, we love to see it.

Even as a faceless dance song it’s disappointing. Becky Hill would never release something as bad.

How can you never have listened to them but branded them "bog standard, ordinary"?

I honestly had no recollection of this being a #1 despite loving the song. She really was in her imperial phase.

I’m not quite sure I’d class Alex as a TikTok artist, he’s now had 3 hits in quite a short space of time so think he’s properly breaking out. A TikTok artist would usually have one hit and struggle with everything else (see Dasha and many many others).

Strange, it doesn’t show at all for me when I search it. Not even as a greyed out option.

It’s a disgrace that Zoe Birkett’s Treat Me Like a Lady isn’t available to stream, what a banger.
