Could Apple by Charli XCX make top 40? If not, I guess it’ll happen next week, it’s 35 on the Spotify chart today!

The Weeknd’s greatest hits album spending literally years in the UK charts, and very high up, simply cos people stream his individual songs so much.

Totally agree, literally nobody except her core fans is ever gonna be here for “scoobity doobity dooby da da ba do” on the charts in 2024. She really threw way too much at this song and it didn’t pay off. A mess! EDIT: I tried to type “she really threw everything & the ______ sink” (rhymes with bitchin sink) but Buzzjack blocked it as a spam word? What the hell? Lol

What’s driving Birds of a Feather to outperform Lunch when it’s not a single but Lunch is?

Florence & The Machine was just ‘Florence Welch’ on her Calvin Harris collab Sweet Nothing Dixie Chicks / The Chicks ‘Years & Years’ is both the name of a band, and now the stage name for now-soloist Olly Alexander

Poor Raye :cry:

Any sign of Zak Abel after his Graham Norton performance? He’s been high up on iTunes for a few days in the albums, would love him to chart officially

Thanks for articulating this so well, my response to that stupid sarcastic reply from the other user would’ve been far less polite :-)

Tate heading for top 10 is a surprise but so deserved, the song is a massive bop I’m so here for this resurgence of females consistently getting genuine hits again, feels like the tides are shifting a bit

Thanks! How about lead artist?

When was the last time we: 1) had 5 different number 1s in 5 consecutive weeks? 2) had a streak of 4 different number 1s by 4 different female artists? 3) had a streak of 4 different number 1s by 4 different female artists each doing 1 week at the top?

It’s such a shame and I find it so bizarre he’s had next to no success. Such a gorgeous distinctive voice, super talented, charismatic, catchy & well-written songs, not to mention pretty hot - he should have the career the likes of Tom Grennan and Dermot Kennedy have but he gets paid dust time & time again. Been rooting for him for so long, he deserves so much more

I hope Zak Abel can at least get somewhere with his new album, such an underrated talent

Does Cruel Summer have a reduced streaming count cos its so old?

#53 Tiesto - The Business Seems to being used at the start of World Cup matches in between the national anthems and kickoff so will likely keep climbing

That Sam Smith song is an absolute sonic assault, I’m gobsmacked it’s doing well On a more positive note, has a trans woman (or man!) ever been #1 on Spotify before? I can’t recall another trans pop star of recent years? Or ever really!

Could David & Bebe get #1?? It’s above Eliza on both Spotify and iTunes now and seems to be growing in popularity day by day since it’s release. Gosh I would LIVE for a Bebe #1

How stupid. abcdefu is so catchy and grows on me every time I hear it, hopefully it cant still get a #1 at some point. Easy On Me is such a dirge

Beyoncé will finally release her next studio album But Rihanna won’t Ed Sheeran will release another album and will dominate the UK charts more than Equals did Mimi Webb will feature on a big dance smash Adele will clean up at the Brits Billie Eilish will release Oxytocin and it will be a big hit The Saturdays will reform Charli XCX’s album released in March will be a critical success but a commercial disaster Anne-Marie will re-release a song from her album with a new male feature and it will perform moderately well Lewis Capaldi will re-emerge in Q4 and do very well Dua Lipa will return in Q3 with a huge new song Kim Petras will get a top 40 hit in the UK Cardi B will get a #1 in the UK

Interesting that this would only ever be Little Mix’s second song to peak at #2 (assuming it does peak at #2!). The first one was Woman Like Me

No shade but am I missing something with this Olivia song? It's nice but how has it become so big? Who is she?

If Spotify data is missing from the midweeks, does that not put LM at risk of dropping before Friday? They’re quite low on Spotify compared to Ed?

7 versions of the same song in the top 40. I’ve been following the iTunes chart closely for about 12 years now and I’ve never seen ANYTHING like this?! Phenomenal, deserved, and I’ll be so so excited if they get to #1 officially

Blinding Lights is one of the best songs of recent years but HOW is it still knocking about the top 10, over a year later?! Not that I’m complaining, but wow
