Brief commentary - So Madonna continues to max out her allowances on the chart, with the top 3 tracks (no more than 3 tracks per artist album allowed to chart per week) and the #1 album. The initial hammering of Confessions II (already in my top 100 since tracking began in March 2010), has led to a severe drop in consumption over the last few days so, could Bronski Beat finally take over next week, or will Charli xcx be the one to cause an upset?

Brief commentary: While Confessions II already becomes my most played album of the year so far, and hits my top 100 most played albums since 2010, Danceteria appears twice in the tracks chart, but as two completely different songs about the same 80s club. Madonna also manages to knock herself out of the chart by maxing out on the 3-tracks-per-album rule, causing I Feel So Free to leave the chart altogether, with Danceteria zooming to a top spot new entry. You can hear my Danceteria/Rapture Mash-Up here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXUGff64_qz0&si=noGkYRKKHu2xDPAx

Madonna's sailed to this week's chart double, including securing the top 3 tracks, thereby maxing out the 3-tracks-per-album rule yet again. She manages to nab a 4th entry in a week once more, however, with the Dolce and Gabbana song, released way back in December. There was no way she wasn't going to have the #1 album with Confessions II, which could become my favourite Madonna album...but, we'll wait for the novelty to wear off first. Madonna's album has also caused The Divine Comedy's album from last September to finally leave the top 10 (for now) after notching up and unexpected 30 weeks in the chart. In that time it became both my #8 most played album of last year, as well as my #8 most played album of 2026 to the end of June. It's still eligible to return if it gets played enough before its 1st release date anniversary or gets a reissue thereafter...

If you like LES Girl you might like Studio Electronique. It's essentially a solo artist who's music is very similar. He supported The Divine Comedy on their last tour and he was great. If Confessions II is Madonna's swansong, this track is a fitting ending to 44 years of hits.

Hey! I put the chart into ChatGPT and asked it to make a visual of my charts that would look like something you'd see in a music trade magazine. With a bit of tweaking to the initial prompt I eventually had the above which saves as a jpg so it can just be added to the post.

Yeah Origami's great. I think it may hover where it is for a while now though. I did, however, enter the competition to do a new 2nd verse haha https://youtu.be/RrN9HmSVyps?is=MUL7OaOe8-bMD6mz

I Feel So Free is kept from falling more drastically by having a stellar remix in the ether, courtesy of Peggy Gou. Soft Cell scored a number of hits on my album and tracks charts over the last 2 years due to reissues of their first 2 albums. They finally score the first all-new hit since their 2022 #1 Purple Zone in Danceteria, which coincidentally features Madonna in the lyric, and shares its title with a track from Confessions II... Nicking a bit of fellow Swedish act Roxette's She's Got The Look, A*Teens score their surprise 2nd hit of 2026 on Tim's Top 20 Tracks with You Got The Look. Their best single by a mile is 2001s Upside Down, which I don't think will change anytime soon. The albums chart is on its knees, with little new stuff of note being played at the moment. This has enabled Melanie C to score the longest #1 run at the top so far this year. But a 5-week #1 is still a 5-week #1. Madonna sees her though...

I know it's hypothetical given it's Madonna in 2026 but, if the film's streams were high enough would it appear on the singles chart as a track in and of itself or be assigned to one of the other audio-only tracks from the album?

Arguably the band's greatest album, now remixed, has had a healthy 5-week stint at #1, with 4 of its tracks also charting in the top 3. What's this? Another Queen is still on top? Fair enough, but it's the promo track which continues at the tracks chart summit, while the Sabrina duet has a decent start at #7. I'm a bit concerned that all the Confessions-related hype is going to lead to a slight anti-climax by 3rd July if these 2 tracks are anything to go by, even if I Feel So Free is #1 again. The most surprising aspect of this chart is the appearance of Melanie C, with what must be her best solo showing on the various iterations of my personal charts since at least the appearance of Carolyna in 2007. Sweat is a surprisingly marvellous album to me, as I've not invested much time into Melanie's albums since Northern Star. Could this end being my favourite solo Spice album? Schizophonic, Free Me and Hot had better watch out! Chart rules The Tracks chart is based on the top 20 most streamed tracks/new versions of tracks, first issued during the last 12 months. All eligible mixes are combined into one entry. The tracking period is the 4 weeks leading up to the Thursday 11:59pm before the chart issue date. No more than 3 tracks per artist album. No track can re-enter if it already spent a total of 10+ weeks on the chart during its previous run(s). The Albums chart is based on the top 10 most streamed albums/specially re-issued albums released in the last 12 months. The tracking period is the 4 weeks leading up to the Thursday 11:59pm before the chart issue date. The number of tracks on an album I've purchased during the week leading up to the chart date is translated into the same number of streams to partially make up for them not actually being streamed/acknowledge the value of a purchase over a mere stream. These additional points are only counted on the first chart after delivery day.
