It’s kinda good seeing lots of recent albums hanging around.

I wonder how many of these songs in the top 40 have had a streaming increase. Even the ones that have climbed might have declined. Or they might have earned themselves extra weeks on SCR.

The unstoppable Fleetwood Mac machine!

However, its Tuesday Spotify figure is up on last week - so it might rally by the end of the week and end up being back on DCL-0 / SCR

Chocolate - by Kylie.

I don’t think of Easter as a time for ‘candy’. In fact, I never even use the word candy. It wouldn’t cross my mind that there might be a boost.

I did genuinely think it was a coincidence and there was a famous song by Lil Bow Wow called ‘I Want Candy’! No wonder I didn’t get the joke 🤣

Interesting to see several Olivia Dean songs falling on the year to date chart. Although some of her songs are still on the up, it seems that she may have finally peaked (for the time being).

Are these from last Friday or last Monday?

Ah! I just assumed that it was the impact of Easter.

If iloveitiloveitiloveit has one more week of decline it goes to ACR next week. Rein Me In needs two more weeks of decline.

Sadly, at present she seems to be a week ahead of them.

Sorry, didn’t spot your comments! But I do wonder if there might be 2 top 40 hits for Fleetwood Mac this week!

Woah! Big day for Fleetwood Mac. New peak for ‘Little Lies’. ‘Everywhere’ nearly at a peak - and above both Mr Brightside and Ordinary. Landslide - up on last week, so looking to climb inside the top 40 and earn an extra week on SCR. And all in all looking good for ‘50 Years’

Fleetwood Mac doing really well on Apple over the long Easter weekend! And ‘Little Lies’ re-entering both Apple and Spotify. I wonder if ‘50 Years’ will do enough to overtake RAYE, Harry Styles, Ye and BTS to reach a new peak. On the other hand, it’s great to see several new studio albums hanging around in the chart.

So that could be two additional spaces in the top 40, but with nothing major coming out this week, two of the songs Outside the top 40 could climb in.

I didn’t realise Maisie Peters ‘My Regards’ had been playlisted. One of my favourite songs of the year so far, but it’s a shame it hasn’t been a big hit. Just further proof to me that British artists have difficulty breaking through on the singles chart. In Maisie’s case, even after having a number 1 album (and a number 2).

A quiet week this week! But I look forward to to Matt Terry‘s new one in a couple of weeks – his last one was one of my favourite songs of year so far.

I imagined that might be the case.

Although I hadn’t checked Wednesday, I had noticed that in the middle of the week it was only 10% ahead, but by Tuesday it was back to 20% ahead. This bodes well for RAYE in the long run, as it suggests that her album is growing.

BTW - roughly how many plays would a song on the Buzz playlist get each week?

Two of my top 5 made it into the top 5, with Linkin Park being my number 4. Smooth Criminal matches the position I gave it in the final of number 3! Being so far ahead of the chasing pack, it is clearly a well loved song. My only other vote to make it into the top 10 is still to come, and it also happens to be the only song from my original nominations still to come. So I’m hoping that Robyn wins - but Back To Black is also an amazing song, and just missed out on both my top 10 and my original nominations.

Steady is my favourite song from Bella Kay so I hope it continues to grow.

But you’d hope that the reset is the result of a strong increase that will eventually be reversed and will have three consecutive declines to get back to the level it previously was. But of course, this doesn’t always happen, such as ‘Landslide’.

Oooh. Why’s Kylie in?
