What Is This Feeling can't be doing more than 4k a week by the looks of it. Where is Popular currently?

Looks like Chappell has it this week then! Nice rise for Sleep Token too. Carti also recovering with his album, Evil Jordan up to 7. Lil Tecca up to 39

No Busy Woman?

Bit of an oversell. The choral elements and unexpectedly good lyrics are what sells it for me. It will get old pretty fast if it gets as overplayed as Lose Control and Beautiful Things but it is a good song, easily the cream of the "straight white guy ballad with raw vocals" crop we've had over the past year.

Up with Ordinary anyway! Can take or leave his other charting stuff, it's way more generic and boring than Ordinary is made out to be. Think I finally know how Joseph feels when people talk about Beautiful Things 😂

Travis- Writing To Reach You: "Radio is playing all the usual, what's a Wonderwall anyway?"

No clue, probably to avoid encouraging the use of an unhealthy activity to cope with negativity. Weird that they've done that anyway, it's not like they censored "I'll drink alcohol til my friends come home" in Stick Season either!

Ah sorry I should've clarified I meant the song was at 59 on Spotify yesterday. The official position would be down to other platforms/loads of songs above it on ACR I'm sure. From what I've seen, people are most likely to use curated playlists on Amazon music (when they say "Alexa play music" that's what it would default to) whereas on Spotify more people tend to seek things out on their own/make their own playlists rather than be told what to listen to and that is reflected in what is popular on the platform. I personally believe the impact of Spotify playlists on the charts has seriously gotten smaller, I'm not saying they aren't used widely as they clearly are, they are just not the massive hitmakers people are making them out to be and less prevalent compared to the past/other streaming platforms. It's the same reason I don't think New Music Friday really does anything either and that gets overhyped. Thanks for making this thread anyway, the topic of curated playlists has always stuck out as one that isn't hugely discussed👍

At the end of the day does the playlist really affect that much? While yes it wouldn't harm an artist at all to receive greater promotion, but being high up on a playlist/on a playlist at all doesn't really make or break a song's chart presence to the extent it once did. If it did we would have Nice To Meet You much higher than it's current position of 59! You can blame Spotify for Jade's chart performance all you want (to clarify I'm not anti-Jade at all) but at the end of the day it's the people who make the chart, and those people don't rely on curated playlists much.

The Giver back up 1 at 7, big drops for Carti with Evil Jordan highest at 9. Toxic ft. Skepta now his 3rd highest Alex Warren 410k Doechii 378k

@Liamski689 Yello - The Race sadly didn't make it in, think you've subbed it in for Madonna - Get Together

Makes you wonder what the criteria for Heart's playlist is, they've snubbed some massive hits from last year. They won't play Good Luck Babe but they'll happily have 3 Teddy Swims ones in rotation 😆

Oof poor The Giver. Hope it can at least officially stay ahead of "Evil Jordan" (I can appreciate the self-awareness!)

If it was any other rapper I would react that way, but Carti is absolutely horrible, both as an "artist" and person so this time I have to agree

Luckily everyone thinks the Carti album is rubbish from what I've seen online so should fade away quickly. The Giver not disappointing!

Ah OK thanks, didn't think the BRITs boost would've moved 360 up much.

+5 Not Like Us +4 Pink Pony Club +3 Ordinary +2 Anxiety +1 Bad Dreams -1 Busy Woman -2 Abracadabra -3 Sports Car -4 Nice To Meet You -5 Beautiful Things

Busy Woman will enter this week, 360 is surely out this time. Think No One Noticed and Raving In The Studio will fall short again.

Surprised it took Weapon Of Choice so long to be certified silver! Also good to see two Fontaines songs go silver + Around The World, one of my favourites from RHCP

Great for Sleep Token! Hope it can hold up.

Was gonna say I couldn't find it but turns out he changed the name from "I AM MUSIC" to just "MUSIC". Another lie from the Playboi Who Cried Wolf! Hopefully it flops

Ooh hopefully Sleep Token do well with the single. Think their album will be on for a decent opening! Last one entered at 3 on 11.5k behind Lewis Capaldi 2 and Ed Sheeran -.

No way is Carti dropping an album 🤣 He's the boy who cried wolf

Can only see The Giver or Ordinary being number one out of these

Assuming The Giver will be a massive hit I hope Ordinary can just do enough to bag number one this week, can't see quite it happening though
