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”?

The impact of an Olivia Rodrigo cover version.

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”?

Golden is such a bop (and performed 3 times in the movie)

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”

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

Music for a Sushi Restaurant.

Surprised “Ride” wasn’t a top 40 hit here for them. It’s 2x Platinum and was a hit in every other Anglospheric country.

I was gooped to see the outhere brothers in the top twenty. thought that track was lost to time outside of chart nerds.

Wow great climb for Olivia Dean, top ten on OCC by Friday?

Is this the first time since it's release that Beautiful Things hasn’t been Benson’s top song on Spotify uk?

Anyone know that the sample is in the track?

So depressing we are into June and only 7 songs released this calendar year and in the YE top 40.

So far only Love Story (#183) has reappeared in the Apple charts but she’s always been a better performer on Spotify. Excited for tomorrows update.

How many music tv channels that even play current music are active now? 4Music, Box, Kiss, Smooth are shut down, MTV is only down to four stations and only one current (Music, Club, 90s & 80s). Clubland TV is a nostalgia channel now and the same goes for the 5 Now channels (70s, 80s, 90s & 00s and Rock).

This is obviously joke post but the majority of their #1s actually held up a lot better over time than their other hits. Also if you were ask what their biggest streaming hit, I don’t think a lot of folks correctly “My Love” - 263m total, 151k daily. Their top 11 streamed (all above 100m) by daily streams My Love - 263m (151k) If I Let You Go - 197m (105k) Swear It Again - 163m (92k) Uptown Girl - 217m (69k) Fool Again - 112m (65k) I Lay My Love on You - 103m (65k) (non UK single) Flying Without Wings - 117m (50k) Against All Odds - 91m (49k) You Raise Me Up - 120m (41k) When You're Looking Like That - 100m (42k) (non-UK single) World of Our Own - 121m (33k) Their actual #1s #16 Queen of My Heart - 55m (25k) #20 Mandy - 62m (20k) #23 I Have a Dream - 25m (11k) #31 The Rose - 31m (10k) #33 Unbreakable - 31m (9k) Versus the rest of their top tens #17 When You Tell Me That You Love Me - 38m (25k) #24 Home - 34m (12k) #26 What Makes a Man - 25m (11k) #27 What About Now - 43m (11k) #28 Bop Bop Baby - 24m (10k) #29 Obvious - 24m (10k) #35 Us Against the World - 18m (7k) #37 Tonight - 9.4m (7k) #42 Amazing - 11m (6k) #43 Safe - 17m (5k) #101 Hey Whatever - 2.5m (839)

In all seriousness I shell shocked it managed to escape the #41 and almost to top ten 4 months later, sometimes the GBP shows taste.

same, terrible rapper and even worse at making country music (between him, Post Malone & MGK, I can’t believe there is now a trend of heavily tattooed white rappers going country, Kid Rock's impact I guess) - he has exactly one good song (Son of a Sinner) which the more awful things he releases I’m convinced that was just a fluke. I know it’s unfair to compare folks Beyoncé, but given how one of the biggest stories of country music last year was about the Nashville system refusing to acknowledge Beyonce at all, it really shows how low their standards are. I’m really expecting of those men to come out with an ‘Ameriican Requiem’, ‘Spaghetti, ‘Tyrant’ or ‘Ya-Ya’ but I would at least expect them to be competent enough to make their own ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ without overcompressed and crunchy production.

You are right, I had mixed up the stats. She has had 10 top ten since streaming introduced in mid 2014, for 13 total. Not ten 10. My bad.

New Spotify peak at #19, desperately need a top ten placement for “Party 4 U” come Friday. The chart nerd in me needs this because it would xcx’s 10th top ten single and put her in the company of only two other women led British acts who have had double digit double tens in the streaming era (June 2014-onwards): • Dua Lipa - 16 top tens since 2017 • Little Mix - 13 top tens since 2015 (19 total) Jess Glynn - 11 top tens since mid 2014 (13 total) or even women with double digit top tens but the majority of which came in the streaming era • Rita Ora - 7 top tens since 2014 (13 total) • Ellie Goulding - 6 top tens since mid 2014 (12 total) • Adele - 6 top tens since 2015 (11 total) Even the popular women in British music who debuted in the streaming have surprisingly less top tens than you would think • Ella Henderson - 9 top tens • Anne Marie - 8 top tens • Becky Hill - 6 top tens (2 top tens before streaming was integrated into the charts) • Raye - 5 top tens • Mabel - 5 top tens

From what I’ve seen • untalented • nepo baby • pretending to be working class • traditionally unattractive • sing too much about s3x for being an unattractive woman • ungrateful and not a girls girl - the only evidence of this being her disappointed look when Jade when the Brit over her. It's mostly from people who were never going to be fans anyway and needed an excuse to not like her.

Despite new attempts, the 2022 UK televote winner remains the only ‘politically motivated’ winner to chart in the top 200, at #14,

"I Love You" is really popular amongst cover songs and talent show contestants in the Philippines (who just adore Celine in general). I imagine a few well seen covers of those is what's translating into overall rediscovery / love for the track. There was also a semi-viral clip from like 2019 of the song soundtracking the first dance of a gay wedding as well.

Quite the improvement from Wolf Alice. Their last lead single only managed 117 on its first day out and on album release day the highest track was only 91.

Lorde I hope so. I really don’t want to wait until August again for another #1 by a UK artist. And even that needed the featured assistance of an American (Billie on Guess).
