Shocking from Bad Bunny considering he was so far ahead on streaming. I really thought he'd be number 1 across all the updates and Sam would pip it on Friday. They've definitely dispatched. They are on eBay. Unless this is a second drop?

It will come down to how many physicals So Easy has shipped I guess.

I like them both. I like Rein me In more.

Sam topples BB a day ahead of schedule but is pegged back by So Easy to Fall in Love. I suspect that will fall as the week progesses but its not actually that far ahead on Spotify. Its not ahead on Apple or Amazon. We also need consider Rein Me in has the solo version on top. I think this is a case of Valentines playlists in action

There is an add for Raindance on Spotify and it doesn't include any of Dave's bits. I thought that was so funny. Tems is selling the track. I wonder what she does next.

She didn't have a number 1 at all for long time.

Happy for Taylor. Happy to see the chart move at least at the top. She's having the last laugh to the critics of her album.

Next week's number one 😅

Crikey is that the future? Just hope your track fits a sub 1 minute soundbyte over 2 characters from your fave TV show nearly kissing?

What do we think Zara Larsson needs to do to get back to getting top 10s here?

And none of them touch The Ketchup Song. It remains unmatched

It should have done top 10 but I am glad its growing this past few days

THANK YOU! I've been in Sombr debates all week.

Maybe they suspect it will really hit in the next few weeks and are sparing us some pain in the lead up?

itsdecentitsdecentitsdecent If the 2016 meme is making people listen to music that could have come out in 2016 its not all bad

Where has this Bella Kay song come from? The TikTok?

Preceeding the chart show with Baby D - Let me be your fantasy is so unwise. It demolishes everything we are about to hear

Harry was a good launch and rapid decline. Bruno just stagnated. My comparison here is that with Sombr there is building interest, like his other tracks. He doesn't seem to be the artist that people run to listen to but relies on external forces like TikTok to decide whether his tracks make a dent. While Bruno and Harry's name gets a good initial boost, they had little long term impact. Sombr seems to be the opposite. I think this makes Sombr somewhat of a fragile artist as it kind of seems his success is out of his control. Its a song by song basis. While I think the song is mid, it does seem well curated for that TikTok market

10% decrease for Bad Bunny, Less than yesterday but still if it keeps declining like that it will be behind Rein me In by Sunday (so Monday's chart) At least one of my predictions will have panned out Sombr is not doing a Harry/Bruno which I am very happy about

Kendrick already had a profile here, even if it wasn't as big as the states. And he got MASSIVE press because he inferred Drake was a PDF File.

12% decrease for Bad Bunny. Expected he'd fall to number 2 but that is quite steep. Possible he's in the weeds of the 300,000s by Saturday which would still be great for him considering he's not a household name and performs in a foreign language. Happy to see Sombr stabilise. I saw someone on TikTok do a fanvid to Homewrecker yesterday. While I don't think the song is great if it picks up there it could be OK. I also saw Rein Me In getting a moment on football tiktok...

Only an 8% drop for Bad Bunny on Spotify. Pretty good. There is a big gap between him and he contending bunch for next weeks number 1 so far.

I think the key is whether its a lasting effect past curiosity. That is where I am not so sure. I'll be interested to see how the streaming numbers go through the week.

Male Shakira

I don't know why you would listen to Opalite this week after watching the video when you didn't listen to it last week and we saw its position last week. Rein me in/Lush Life.. spitting distance... Although So Easy to Fall in Love has been charging hard on Spotify.
