Or a sign that people just want to listen to old songs in the wake of a big cultural moment involving them? Would imagine this kind of thing would've happened in the pre-streaming era if streaming was a thing back then, nothing to do with finding new talents

Shame ANOTR is stalling but the big JB takeover is a good enough reason for it!

I don't actually mind this from Gaga but can see why others find it cringeworthy

Ooh wasn't expecting this to make it! Great dance tune. Hoping for a Bieber domination this week

Babydoll dropping since Monday 😲

Recession pop is something I hear about loads from American music reviewers - it's used to describe pop music with dance influences released following the Great Recession the late 2000s-early 2010s when people wanted to go to the club for escapism

I always hear Beauty And A Beat more than any of his other songs when I go out clubbing, think it's a big fan favourite and it's also being used on a lot of posts about his Coachella set

Wonder if Eenie Meenie will get reset and give Justin 4 songs in the top 40? Doubt Radio 1 would play it now

Sabrina is doing pretty well too, Manchild at 20, House Tour at 26 and Taste at 52. Would say Coachella is bigger online as yet again America decides what is big culturally worldwide. He sold them at a time he was struggling financially

New peak for Beauty on lock then. Hope it peaks at 6 for Justin's bingo!

Can only see Alex getting as high as number 2, he would have to sell 30k physicals to get past Rein Me In. Not to mention we don't know how well the new Olivia Rodrigo song will do

No sign of Standing On Business 😭

I really don't get why people are so upset with songs peaking late into their chart run or years after their original release - we may be very familiar with these songs but a lot of people are only hearing them for the first time!

Typical the Bieber song with the biggest boost is the one with N*cki on it. Why can't Standing On Business chart 😭

Hope Gaga and Doechii hold on, shame the latter has been so shunned after Anxiety. Whatever joke the people behind Katseye are trying to pull has gotten old now, release another Gabriela!

BTS!!! RELEASE MORE SWIM REMIXES NOW!!! AI SLOP AT NUMBER ONE? THIS MEANS WAR! (I'm probably too chronically online for anyone to get what I'm referencing...)

Biggest song to not reach the top 40!

Not sure why they've dropped Muse tbf, seems like they would be right up their street!

Highlights for 10th April: You're So Vain, Burning Love, If You Leave Me Now, Lover You Should've Come Over, Sonnet, Adam's Song and As on the singles, and Blonde and Weezer on the albums! Good updates for kids TV characters with the Wiggles, Paw Patrol and Bluey all being certified 😂 When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 also getting certified too. Side note Walk Of Life is 3x platinum on the singles.

And I was of course referring to the criteria that apparently guarantees someone coming to Summertime Ball 😁

+5 Rein Me In +4 Dracula +3 White Keys +2 Babydoll +1 American Girls -1 Homewrecker -2 Iloveitiloveitiloveit -3 Fever Dream -4 Man I Need -5 Lush Life

Highlights for 3rd April: The Chain, I Wanna Be Your Slave, All Eyez On Me, TNT, The Phoenix, The Logical Song, Canned Heat, Backseat Freestyle (can't believe this isn't bigger!), Green River, Peaches(!), Hot Potato (first certified song by the Wiggles?!), Cherry Bomb on the singles, and Nothing Safe and The Fragile on the albums!

Definitely Maybe now the first album from the 20th century to have all its songs certified!

But she hasn't spent 8 weeks at number one on the Big Top 40 yet!

The Chain now officially the biggest song to not reach the top 40! Some brilliant tracks over the past week from Jeff Buckley, AC/DC, 2Pac and The Verve!
