    Didn’t "Pointless" move something close to 40k CDs the week it spent at #1?

    Really? Because he’s gone on record to state that he spends months on end working on songs to make them as universally appealing to all demos as possible. That statement combined with an actual critical ear to his music - basic and acoustic repeated four chords without any additional features surrounding them. Completely misinterpreting his cover versions - he always does covers of ballads by women where their power lies in their quiet intensity before a big release comes (if it all) instead he just screams his way through them completely missing what makes them good (“When the Party’s Cover”, “Shallow”, “Everytime”). The oversinging in general. In the the only time he has shown any musical awareness to me is me constantly lower the key of all of songs by at least three octaves, he clearly songs his studio recordings aren’t in his natural range and will cause permit vocal damaged is repeated regularly. All of that suggests to me that he has a basic understanding (I would argue poor or subpar) have music composition, theory and general critical literacy and analysis.
  4. The way even his middling album tracks would be considered some other artists best work.
  5. Woohoo for bad idea right, feels oddly underrated in her discography despite being a fairly decent sized hit.
  6. Aside from Capaldi, any notable Glastonbury boasts so far?
  7. Raye and Charli’s set’s are getting the primetime slot’s on Saturday instead of Neil. Maybe a bump for “Suzanne” & “Party 4 U”?
  8. The impact of an Olivia Rodrigo cover version.
  9. The Chris Stapleton song is played in full during a driving sequence quite early in the film. The Don Toliver/Doja Cat song was played in full during a character’s medical recovery scene. Half of the Tate McRae song played during a vegas gambling scene. The Ed Sheeran song is exclusively played during the fade to black end credits The impact of an Olivia Rodrigo cover version. Raye and Charli’s set’s are getting the primetime slot’s on Saturday instead of Neil. Maybe a bump for “Suzanne” & “Party 4 U”?

    Is he officially credited for ‘Despacito’? That would make up like 1/3 of those weeks and would make sense as to why it doesn’t feel like that much, it was phenomena he helped usher in but was completely detached from.
  11. Golden is such a bop (and performed 3 times in the movie)
  12. Would be pretty funny if the only two all British (sorry ‘Guess’) number one singles from the past two years are from DJs with a rapper whose name starts with “s”
  13. The entire top 6 albums on Apple Music are all new releases (half of being brits): ‘American Heart’ by Benson Boon ‘Olamidé’ by Omalide ‘hopefully !’ by Loyle Carter ‘I quit’ by Haim ‘Idols’ by YungBlud ‘When the Dust Settles’ by K-Trap
  14. Surprised “Ride” wasn’t a top 40 hit here for them. It’s 2x Platinum and was a hit in every other Anglospheric country.

    Can Olivia Dean go top ten tomorrow? “nice to each other” has been stable in the bottom half of the Spotify top ten (Tuesday 10, Wednesday 8, Thursday TBD) after the first half of the week in the mid 20s.
  16. I was gooped to see the outhere brothers in the top twenty. thought that track was lost to time outside of chart nerds.
  17. Wow great climb for Olivia Dean, top ten on OCC by Friday?

    Chances for Addison’s “Fame is a Gun” going top ten?
  19. Is this the first time since it's release that Beautiful Things hasn’t been Benson’s top song on Spotify uk?
  20. Anyone know that the sample is in the track?

    Plus Miley’s has been flopping and making more commercial successful comebacks are entire career, whereas Katy has been a solid downward trajectory ever since 2017 (arguably 2014 since Unconditionally, Birthday and This Is How We Do vastly underperformed given her then current expectations). I saw one comparison on twitter that the closet comp for Miley’s career in terms of commercial viability and hit songs is actually Cher.
  22. So depressing we are into June and only 7 songs released this calendar year and in the YE top 40.

    Is ‘party 4 u’ on ACR or is it just outside the top 20 from the Friday data?

    How much long until ordinary goes on ACR?
