Timeless at 7, on for a new/re-peak? Cry For Me at 12 and Sao Paulo at 15

Fairly certain it's to encourage people to listen to the whole album to find the features, if the features are credited from the start fans of those artists will just go straight to that song and skip the rest of the album. Frustrating but very smart

Didn't realise Lovely Day would count. Would've got some decent points from me

I really like Sacrifice, probably in my top 5 Weeknd songs! Take My Breath is pretty good too

All 20 eligible tracks made it in, but only just. "Without A Warning" is at 199

Does the Weeknd have physicals out this week? If he's streaming only he might struggle for number one...

+5 GBP +4 Sailor Song +3 Bad Dreams +2 The Door +1 Messy -1 Sports Car -2 APT -3 CRG -4 The Days -5 That's So True

Ah no I lost Jump (one of the first songs I remember loving) AND Green Onions (which I've used as backing music on the radio absolutely loads) today! Surprised the latter got that many points though, good showing for it.

Not 100% sure Hozier's Do I Wanna Know has done enough to enter this week. GBP definitely has, I have Taylor Swift dropping out for it, with Sophie E-B and Snow Patrol on the chopping block if Feel Good Inc and/or something else wants to enter

Go on Peppa Pig!! BPI certified artist, Adele has to collab with her now

Every middle-aged straight white drunk man listening to a pub band would disagree :lol: my mates absolutely love BMTH's cover

How did Dawn FM do on Spotify/Apple day 1?

Lil Durk has a new album out, not sure if anything will get a push though

Sports Car up to number 7 today. Another Greedy size hit for Tate on the way?

NOOOO how did I miss this one? Completely skimmed over it I would've given it over 20 points :cry:

There's already a radio edit available on streaming but even then there's a lot of stuff I imagine Radio 1 would want to edit out. The probably won't even say the title and call it FJW or something :lol: In other news the new Latto ft. Carti is at 179

Haha I wish!!

That's probably a good thing, they'll have a better chance against the Wombats than the Weeknd for a number one. EDIT thought it was originally out Friday, nevermind

They've both charted multiple times in the past 3 years, they'd need manual resets

A lot of big climbs for Cench, CRG is still his highest at 7. Aitch up to 27 today, guess I was wrong about people not caring :lol:

Stephanie back on the climb again, up to 151 :lol:

I'll agree there's a lot of churnalism going on here, I think whoever wrote this is getting their info from another publisher and not doing the proper fact checking. The songs they've chosen to write about were pretty good choices but I would've said "lovely" hasn't had a huge resurgence, it's always been big just never doing enough for top 40.

Thanks for this, pretty interesting that Oasis are number 3 and not the Spice Girls as I would've guessed at a glance. Would Wings not count for Paul McCartney outside of the Beatles? That would give them an extra number 1 single and number 1 album. EDIT: If Wings count then the Traveling Wilburys should for George Harrison, that's one extra album

Weren't CDs actually up this year? The press likes to avoid talking about CDs positively, I think because labels want to push positivity about vinyls as they're more expensive and will get them more money. There's a guy on "Now Spinning Magazine" who talks a lot about physical music and has called publications out for this for ages.
