Only just started following this thread. I didn’t realise Freya Skye had a career after her (brilliant) Junior Eurovision song ‘Lose My Head’ - but she is on both lists! Most UK Eurovision entrants flop after Eurovision (Sam Ryder is an exception) so great to see Freya still going. … though I always get her confused with both Skye Newman and Freya Ridings.

Big climbs for Dracula! I think number 13 combined in today’s Spotify using Official Chart rules!

The best 3 songs from the top 5 in my opinion are now out. Rooting for Lily.

Great top 2! Love both. JADE is my favourite of the two, one of the best songs from last year. But it would be iconic if Dracula wins, and then makes the top 20 this Friday!

Mae Muller did better than this. I can’t remember where Sam Ryder was in the Chart Update - but I don’t think he charted until Eurovision. But he sparked the revival.

Impressed by how well last week’s album new entries are holding up!

Loving both ‘FEVER DREAM’ and ‘Steady’.

And also I feel first week sales seem to be increasing, as fans are going back to buying physical copies. Harry has gained many new fans since the release of his last album - and has had a lot of publicity over the past few weeks.

With two versions of Rein Me In charting, plus the third version, I don’t think there is any chance that Bella Kay will overtake it this week in the Official Chart. If Rein Me In isn’t at least number 2 by the Chart Update on Monday, I feel it will get there by Wednesday. So I assume the final top 3 will be American Girls, Rein Me In and iloveitiloveitiloveit, but in which order? I think Rein Me In will take the crown.

Madonna going top 20: iconic! She is doing similarly well on Apple. And ‘Dracula’ finally going top 20: also iconic!

Madonna coming for the Top 20!

All those songs that were on DCL-1 now back on ACR! My estimate for Landslide is a drop of about 100 sales, but it could have gone either way.

That’s good to hear. So I guess it could be in the top 200 soon.

Dracula just missing out on being disqualified from the non-top 20 hit competition! But at this rate, it will climb into the top 20 next week. And well deserved.

Great to see LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER charting already. Not listened to it yet though.

Better get the results published quickly before it gets disqualified! 😅

Sad to see D£aler and Indigo out - overall I don’t think there were many great songs in the list, but good to see some of the best ones remaining.

I feel the only real losses so far are the Ed Sheeran tracks, but I know that BuzzJack is not a fan of Ed. A lot of great tracks in the top 20.

I’d be surprised if Harry doesn’t have a song make number 1. Either Aperture or a new track.

It’ll get a 25% increase in real terms I’m sure - but will Thursday’s estimates bring it down? I’ve not calculated. But as it’s not charted in the past 3 years the rules say it should be reset. But… we have observed this usually only happens for songs which will end up in the top 40. It has been suggested that if they increase by 25% this week but less than that next week and then are eligible for the top 40, they might be reset (happened to Diana Ross, and Alan Jones suggested that could happen to Wutherimg Heights - but I think that increased by over 25% two weeks in a row).

Big climb for Madonna! Wonder if it can get the 25% increase.

Hmmm…. Interesting. I’m sure it was the Fine Young Cannibals. Fascinating list! Thank you.

Much bigger Brits effect than the singles chart!

Gosh! A very muted response to the Brits. Ordinary performed yet it has dropped!
