Let's hope there will actually be a new song at #1. I quite like Drop Dead.

If there's seven Justin Bieber songs in the top 30, that's just plain stupid and a sign of a music industry unable to find new talents. I won't bother listening to the chart show for the next seven weeks if that's the case.

A few weeks ago people were predicting Anita Ward - Ring My Bell as the next old song to be revived. (Fortunately) it turned out not to be. But Sign Of The Times is back with this week's unneccessary reset.

To think Dracula had a boost at Halloween and now it's #3 after Easter.

People have been spending their Easter listening to Ordinary!

With her album out now I think she'll have three songs in next week's top 100. Be Her and perhaps Dandelion the third?

Top 10 next week!

Same as Raindance, Ordinary and quite possibly Where Is My Husband and Man I Need.

I fear all the oldies are back to SCR.

Well, at this stage we know Ella Langley has climbed. The question is how high? Incredible to think she seemed to have stalled (for good) at nr 35.

I love the little detail of the poster of herself on the wall of the ladies' restroom.

I think she'll have her full quota of three next week as the title track to Dandelion is likely to chart as well. I wonder how high Choosin' Texas can manage to get.

I expect there won't be any sales numbers tomorrow. Will be interesting to see.

Bella's other two songs have been falling for several weeks. Her momentum has gone. And so it seems has Tame Impala's.

No sign of Ella Langley in the top 20. I wonder if she can get there next week with her album release.

I loved Just The Way You Are back in the day and it still sounds so good (and summery). At this point it might as well go higher and stay there over the summer.

I think Swim is a perfectly OK pop song. I'd much rather see that last a few weeks in the top 10 than Man I Need or Ordinary spending half a year there.

Swim becomes the first song this year to spend two weeks at number 1 on the sales chart.

If it wasn't for Rein Me In...

On the subject of Rain in Raindance: I fear a lot of rain will fall before Rein Me In's reign ends!
