Why the Blinding Lights resurgence?

Hahah that’s meeeee The bookies got that SO wrong. It was only the week before and they were already #1, it was such a no brainer?! I’m annoyed I didn’t put more than a tenner on tbh

She’s 7/1 odds currently. And already #4 on Spotify. I’ve just put £25 on her! Plus with Xmas Day being a Friday this year, the Xmas songs will have huge streams in that week leading up to the chart day.

Arguably though the high competition is because EVERY week is a good week in Q4. I doubt their record label cares more about it being #1 or #2 than they do about the £££

That absolute drivel from Ariana shouldn’t be anywhere near #1 let alone leading that far ahead! Such a shame that this will be adding to her tally of number ones yet the likes of Break Free and Into You never got close Little Mix deserve a solid top 10 debut. Even if it doesn’t debut top 10, I think it’ll climb as the weeks go by. Feel like there’s a lot of hype behind the song

WAP deserves a week at number one. Viral in every sense of the word and well deserved

I hope Charli at least stays Top 40 with the album by the end of the week. That being said, it's quite clear this album was never intended to sell many records, I believe everything she says when she says it's all come off her own back and isn't a "label push" so to speak.

Why has Perfect resurfaced?

That Death Bed song is so unbelievably irritating

Oh my goodness I have not heard that Naughty Boy song in YEARS. I completely forgot it existed!!! Listening now and it's bringing back a lot of fond memories of 2014-2015. Beautiful song - thank you for reminding me of it.

Scared To Be Lonely is such a formulaic, generic song and VERY of its time but I have always found it so incredibly beautiful. Lyrically and sonically. Lonely Together is nice too, of all of Avicii's songs it makes me think about the tragedy of his death the most

Can’t believe how long Don’t Start Now has stuck around. A monster hit

About time Billie got a #1

Seen someone ask a good question on twitter... how many number ones have we had this decade that weren’t available on Spotify when released? Maybe a couple of the charity ones..? But even they usually are available to stream

WHY WONT DANCE MONKEY f*** OFFFF

2010 and 2011 kind of blur into one for me but I'm going to say 2011. 2014, 2016 and 2017 all stand out too in big ways for various reasons. 2019 is probably the worst unfortunately, I also don't remember a huge amount from 2015

Little Mix’s Wasabi is being used on an advert for Pretty Little Thing, hope we see it appear in the charts even if it’s super low

Am I right in thinking Dua has never been #1 on iTunes?

Just realised where I know Joel Corry from He used to be in Geordie Shore as Sophie’s boyfriend lol

I don't think I've ever seen a Top 5 I dislike more than that. Awful!

Salute is my favourite album of theirs still, followed by Glory Days I’m going to be GUTTED if TAU becomes their first non top 20 single :(

I am willing for Think about Us to hit top 20 officially! They can’t lose their streak of all their singles hitting Top 20...

More than Westlife hun x

Arianas fans are apparently boycotting 7 Rings on streaming in order to give “Girlfriend” its best shot at #1 LOL

Was going to make a 2019 predictions thread but this will certainly do! My predictions... 1. Rihanna will return in the first half of the year & smash. 2. Ariana's album will be a surprise drop. We'll wake up one day and it'll just be there. 3. Ariana's album will come in Q1. 4. Beyonce will surprise drop another album 5. George Ezra will clean up at The Brits 6. Little Mix's remaining singles from LM5 will struggle, except for Wasabi which will do well 7. Lady Gaga's album will be pop and the fans will love it 8. Ed Sheeran will re-appear at the end of the year. 9. Ava Max will get at least one big (Feat. Ava Max) single, off the back of Sweet But Psycho's success 10. Charli XCX's album (which she's confirmed is happening) will inevitably flop :( 11. Dua Lipa will have a quieter year 12. Lizzo will have a hit in the UK 13. Tove Lo will come back towards the end of the year 14. Marina will return with a critically acclaimed album that won't be a huge success but better than Froot
