Strangers is defo my favorite of the 5. Maybe not on track to do as well I expected they would, almost 6pm and still no sign of any of them in the Apple Music top 200

Teddy swims potentially coming for a hit in the new year? I’ve never heard it so just looking at it I don’t have a clue what sort of song it is lol

Me too! It’s currently at #196 on Apple Music with loads of Christmas songs still above it. Just needs to start doing something on Spotify

I’m sure everyone will be thrilled to hear that Central Cee has just released a new song. Probably coming for another hit in the new year :heehee:

I have to agree and in my opinion he’s very overrated, all his songs just sound like a complete racket. The only song I LOVE by him is Delilah, the rest are either poor or just okay

Yet again surprisingly low streams for Christmas songs on Spotify today with Wham! only doing 732k and Noah back up to #4 (would be #1 comfortably with ACR applied)

It took me about 5 different searches but I eventually found it, so it is on there, just very difficult to find lol

So do we actually suspect this creators universe shot has a chance at #1 this week? It’s nowhere to be seen on streaming anywhere, and it’s #1 on iTunes but it did drop to #2 yesterday so can’t be that far ahead, and only seems to have the 1 version.

I think like previously mentioned rather than asking to predict the top 10 singles every week and the top 5 albums, it would be more interesting to do questions similar to this thread e.g predict the number 1 single and what the sales will be, same with the #1 album. Then maybe pick a random song within the top 40 and ask to predict its position with the closest getting the most points. Also like Bjork said I think it would be more interesting to do it like say the person who finished 1st gets so many points, then 2nd and 3rd and so on. Then make a final leaderboard and update it each week.

I know I’m in the minority but boo at pretty boys making the top 10. Absolutely loved that song when it came out!

Will the top 100 chart from that week still be posted as usual on the website? Just no top 40 countdown?

We used to run a similar thing predicting the albums and singles chart top 10 and the #1 singles sales which I quite enjoyed but there wasn’t enough participants so it ran its course and just stopped. I’m fairly happy with all my answers, the only one I’m unhappy with is the greatest hits album question, I think I went far too low!

Yeah it was lingering around 70-80 on iTunes on release but is nowhere to be seen now. Would be shocked if it manages top 40

PM’d you my answers :)

Hmm maybe Jack could even hold at #3 this week again then?

No way is Jack gonna hold on for Xmas #1. Wham! aren’t far off doing double what he’s doing on Spotify today and it’s only the 1st, come the week running up to Christmas the figures will be huge

Olivia’s hunger games song really starting to take off now, up to #12 on Spotify today. Shame it’s probably gonna get pushed down by the Christmas songs. Wonder if it can sneak a week top 10 before the Christmas takeover properly kicks in
