Paramore

My Way on the Supergirl promo is amazing. Hope that goes viral

The fact that she can get this to number 1 and those 1989 tracks couldn't...

Remember in the 90s VH1 used to do Divas? Just imagine a show with Taylor, Ariana, Olivia, Billie (eilish, not PIper) and Sabrina.

Olivia, Ariana, Taylor top 4 seems something of an apex of this era of female led pop music

A chart run of 2-3-4-1... could it happen?

IT MUST

What You Know needs to be a top 40 hit ❤️

I'd take any Two Door Cinema Club or Bombay Bicycle Club to get a revival

I pledge to Ant and Dec 'We're on the Ball'

Mack not happy Jacko still has 2 songs in the top 10.

I'm not happy that this is below Billie Jean when its the superior Michael Jackson song

I saw Zara Larsson perform at the Eurovision welcome show in 2023, she is a great performer

2002 to what sounds like 1994. Love it.

My first time hearing Earrings. Its crap

I've been waiting for this since the revival. Its June. The sun is shining. Milky is on Radio 1. I'm 14 again

In 10 years this song is going to be such a time capsule on this soundtrack. Remember Sienna Spiro, she had a good year.

Warren's music isn't for me but at least this has more of a pulse than some of his previous singles

British currency counterpart £1 Fish Man actually can boast a lead one

Inflation really ruined his career

Alex Warren's fans decorate their whole houses in beige.

Her voice is hideous!

It sounds like a goat in pain

Bella Kay has the same vocal affectation. This is it turned up to 11.

I can't work out of Alyssa Grace's voice is cute or annoying

I have a conspiracy theory that Spotify purposely doesn't update the UK Top 50 playlist on time when big artists are dropping fast. That gives them an extra day higher up the playlist, the higher up the playlist, the more likely they are to be listened to.

MAGA Langley can very well chart below top ten imo. Why should the UK care about Texas anyway.

Half of the US success of Choosin Texas is Texas girls thinking they are 'Texas' and missing the point of the song.

The charts are a measure of what's currently popular, people need to deal with the fact that at some points that might be a lot of older songs. And anyway why 3 years? How would they arbitrarily decide on a threshold?

3 years is too generous. HMV wouldn't stock CD singles after a few months. I wouldn't want to lose songs discovered later than their release. Like Cruel Summer. So maybe the limit needs to be 2 years after their first appearance in the top 40? If its been top 40, its been a hit and run its course. If it comes back, its not a rediscovery of a formerly forgotten track but a revival.

looking at the legacy acts mentioned (and some I've added) Killers and RHCP are firmly in front in terms of British Spotify listeners (well strictly speaking London only but a good indication). I suspect RHCP would be ahead if you took away the bias of Mr Brightside.

849k The Killers

808k Red Hot Chili Peppers

232k Depeche Mode

224k Janet Jackson

204k Pulp

166k The Who

103k Sash!

Honestly the vast majority of these are not surprising. Huge names but the UK is heavily bias to pop and dance music.

She's going to chart higher than Olivia's Cant Catch Me Now which is the crime of the chart decade. (and that should have won an oscar)

Shame Taylor doesn’t seem to be doing well with her latest single

Taylor has a way of making 1 sale 4, don't count her out but don't count her in for next week

Just seen that HMV have an in-store only 7” vinyl for Olivia next week - they haven’t announced what it is yet but guessing it’ll be for ‘The Cure’ - could help it challenge for the top spot?

I think it needs Rein me In to go ACR and a push to get it away from Ariana

This song isn't a chart thing for Taylor, she's gunning for that Oscar
