Ed Sheeran was arguably even more popular in Ireland than the UK. His popularity has dropped considerably with this album. Azizam missed the top 10, Sapphire 20, Old Phone 38 and this new one barely registered only 51. Zach Bryan seems to have taken his crown.

It has only made the top 40 in the UK

But where would Ed be on Spotify if numbers were not so low? Also if so many songs weren’t on ACR he would be lower in the official charts.

Mad how Azizam has went top 10 in 2 other countries other than the UK so far. Only 119 in France. I thought this would have done a lot better as it sounds like a hit. I know his star power has diminished but I didn’t think things were this bad.

Ed Sheeran only debuted at 30 on Spotify in Ireland. I know it’s only a debut but that seems a shocking debut for someone who was absolutely massive there up to a few years ago

I presume Ed Sheeran will get to number 1 next week or the week after anyway? He will get number 1 with his lead single with whatever way he can.

Isn’t Ed Sheeran releasing in a few weeks too?

Lady Gaga Garden of Eden sounds like a smash. Very commercial and catchy. Could it be a future number 1?

Why is Abracadabra dropping so much from what it was doing initially? It sounds like a strong single. How is its playlisting on streaming?

UK artists seem to be a bit of a lull over the past year. It took until 15th August for a UK artist to reach number 1 (other than Last Christmas in the first week of 2024). Not counting Last Christmas UK artists only spent 3 weeks at number 1 the whole year. There was also a week in 2024 when there was no UK artist in the top 10. Also no UK artist has topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the past 2 years. Compared to a few years ago UK artists used to be a lot more dominant in the charts. What is behind this?

Could DWAS go number one if it avoids ACR?

Sabrina Carpenter’s album is getting released on 23rd of August. I presume another single will be released before?

Is Bye Bye Bye on any of the main playlists or is it just the movie that is helping it still?

Strange how Sabrina Carpenter is all the way down to 42 in TV Airplay Chart?

Why are there fewer UK artists getting big hits compared to even a few years ago?
