  1. I assume it will be a solo Madonna credit for the OCC since it already went top 40?
  2. Top ten next week let’s go.
  3. Chart watchers during Christmas 2001
  4. Fun fact. He is only the 4th contestant from The Voice UK to chart in the top 40 with a song not associated from the show. Following Becky Hill, Divina De Campo, and Remember Monday.
  5. Unless I’m missing something, Choosin Texas is the 15th country song (I’m identifying country songs as tracks that charted on the billboard country airplay chart), and first from an established Nashville artist since Kenny Rogers in 1980. • Elvis Presley, "All Shook Up" (1957) • Elvis Presley, "Jailhouse Rock" (1957) • Elvis Presley, "Are You Lonesome Tonight" (1961) • Elvis Presley, "The Wonder of You" (1970) • John Denver, "Annie’s Song" (1974) • Tammy Wynette, "Stand By Your Man" (1975) • Kenny Rogers, "Lucille" (1977) • Elvis Presley, "Way Down" (1978) • Dr. Hook, "When You’re In Love With a Beautiful Woman (1979) • Kid Rock, "All Summer Long" (2008) • Lil Nas X, "Old Town Road" (2019) • Beyoncé, "Texas Hold ‘Em" (2024) • Taylor Swift, "I Knew It, I Knew You" (2026) • Ella Langley, "Choosin Texas" (2026) And bonus, UK number ones that did gather USA country airplay, but just not the enough to chart in their top 50. • Nancy Sinatra, "These Boots Are Made For Walking" (1966) • Tom Jones, "Green Green Grass of Home (1966) • Pitbull feat. Kesha, "Timber" (2014) • Ed Sheeran, "Thinking Out Loud" (2014) • Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, "Shallow" (2018)

    The way the Jamie Miller song they just playlist is near identical to Man I Need
  7. Love how you can tell exactly which of the five music tv channels are playing what from the airplay chart.
  8. Still nuts that a The Voice UK alumni (not named Becky Hill) is charting
  9. The alumni from The Voice charting is rare enough, nevermind in the same week. With Jamie specifically, this is also the first time a Voice alumni (not named Becky Hill) has charted (outside of a Eurovision boost) since series 5 blind auditioned Divina De Campo, who reached #35 in 2019 as part of the Frock Destroyers and their single "Break Up Bye Bye"

    Probably going to streams and airplay until the end of time. This is one of the instances where it appears on Christmas playlists because it has a wintery video.
  11. Dua Lipa put all versions of Training Season into an EP bundle.

    One of this songs went semi-viral a few years back after Khloe Kardashian posted about it. He’s had a decent following ever since.
  13. I figured, would the same apply to "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" (#66 on Apple Music), for which Loretta Lynn is first billed, followed by equal lead billing for Dolly and Tammy Wynette?
  14. I assume Tyrant will have enough to re-enter OCC top 100 (since Beyoncé is lead and Dolly is the feature) and be allowed a reset? Would the same apply to Wildflowers since that is a joint lead between Dolly, Emmylou & Linda (Dolly first billed)?

    what was the reason for it randomly charting again in March 2007?
  16. Bargain Store, Silver Threads, Potential New Boyfriend and Romeo doing better here than stateside is interesting.
  17. Yup, that had to be like 4.5 hours max worth of streaming. Her death was announced just a little after 7pm uk time. ITV & Channel 4 news live broadcasts didn’t even have any prepared other a quick “breaking” before moving along to another story.

    Question, would this be able to avoid the OCC three song per artist rule since technically Loretta Lynn is the first credited artist Apple Music: #162: Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton & Tammy Wynette - Silver Threads and Golden Needled
  19. Apple Music #164: Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton & Tammy Wynette - Silver Threads and Golden Needles Would this be able to chart by OCC rules, since technically Loretta is the first artist credited ?
  20. This and Dolly’s “Unlikely Angel” have been in my Christmas playlist rotations for years. Underrated holiday bops.

    And she should’ve been nominated for “Girl In the Movies” in 2018.
  22. That Glastonbury performance was so iconic and (re)introduced her and the music to so many new people who may have only knew her for the celebrity/persona. My 10 year nephew and his friends at the loved the blue smoke album (both the original cd and the greatest hits second disc). they only knew Dolly from Hannah Montana / being Miley Cyrus’ aunt and become lifelong fans ever since.
  23. Will likely take a while but worth keeping on eye on Beyoncé’s "Lemonade", 6 Inch was certified silver yesterday so the album is now 8/12. Forward will probably keep it from joining soon since it’s universally regarded as a skip. Pray You Catch Me (N/A) Hold Up (Platinum) Don’t Hurt Yourself (Silver) Sorry (Gold) 6 Inch (Silver) Daddy Lessons (Silver) Love Drought (N/A) Sandcastles (N/A) Forward (N/A) Freedom (Silver) All Night (Gold) Formation (Gold) Quiet remarkable considering the album was an digital download exclusive until 2019.

    It’s like ten thousand spoons, when all you need a knife.
  25. Fontaines D.C new song "Marianne" starts at #183 on all genre Apple Music chart.
