I think it's slated multiple times that the First Look update is front-loaded and there's missing data from streaming platforms (especially from Spotify), so I don't know why some of you act surprised that there are songs that are low here when they end up to better spots in the Official Chart show.

They pushed back the 7" of "Love Sensation" until mid-October, so I hardly see they already have begun the production of them. And, in case they have, I can see them to be shipped later this year at the latest to be honest.

From "Danceteria" to "bloodstream"... Oh! 🫠

The original version slips to #23 (-1) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 2.47m streams. It also falls to #61 (-3) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs UK chart with 122.2k streams and drops to #120 (-7) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs USA chart with 345.9k streams. Meanwhile, the Live from the Royal Albert Hall version departs from the Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart.

Jumps to #168 (+19) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 1.24m streams.

It seems like I was back to the mid-00s and then to the early '10s, but I'm not complaining, lol! 😅

Too much Taylor, lol! 😆 I guess this was expected to happen in a sort of way, so I'm not complaining. Kind of. Anyway, there were also two re-entries of Dolly Parton ("9 to 5", #46 and "Jolene", #153), plus a new entry from Phoebe Bridgers ("On Video", #122) and Robyn ("Dancing On My Own", #190). Can't believe that the latter, finally, makes its debut on Spotify US. It was about time.

"Patient Zero" by Taylor Swift debuts at #33 on Pop, #26 on Hot AC and #18 on AC, while "Cleveland!" debuts at #44 on Hot AC in Saturday's 9/26 rolling update. Also, "I Knew It, I Knew You" falls from #3 to #5 on Pop with a drop of 1,016 (!) spins. I guess this is a collateral effect of "Patient Zero" entering on Pop, but... 🫠

And she's is in Kosovo now, attending a wedding. Global queen, indeed.

The live from the Royal Albert Hall version received 1.28m unfiltered streams (+73k) on the Spotify Counter yesterday, while the original version received 2.75m unfiltered streams (+183.2k), so the total between the two was 4.04m unfiltered streams. The rest of the three tracks from the EP received 53.3k, so the EP had 4.09m unfiltered streams (+263.8k) on the Spotify Counter. If only the original and the live from the RAH versions are combined, this would be around the #7 spot on Spotify Global behind all the Taylor Swift tracks, "BbY WOW" by KAROL G, Judeline & rusowsky and "Nicole Kidman" by ADÉLA. However, if all of the versions are combined, this would be around the #6 spot on Spotify Global above the ADÉLA track.

The album received 3.91m unfiltered streams (+225.9k) on the Spotify Counter yesterday as you could check it here. After "Training Season", which received 2.75m unfiltered streams (+183.2k), "Houdini" was the next song with 525.1k unfiltered streams (+11.8k) on the Spotify Counter.

Troye will be interviewed by Zane Lowe.

01. New Order - Age of Consent 02. Texas - I Don't Want a Lover 03. Fontaines D.C. - Jackie Down the Line 04. M83 - Kim & Jessie 05. Years & Years - All For You 06. iamamiwhoami - chasing kites 07. Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again 08. Ultravox - The Voice 09. Bananarama - Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango) 10. Sade - Your Love is King 11. Vengaboys - 1999 (I Wanna Go Back) I don't think I have to say to a lot here. The first two songs were good. "Jackie Down the Line" is also georestricted for me, but there's a music video working for me in their YouTube channel and I liked the track. And I don't wanna go back to 1999 after listening to the Vengaboys cover.

01. Adele - Rolling in the Deep 02. Leona Lewis - Come Alive 03. Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault 04. Dido - Take My Hand 05. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Me and My Imagination 06. Robyn - Hang With Me 07. Jessie Ware - If You're Never Gonna Move 08. Agnes - EGO 09. MARINA - Froot 10. Kate Bush - The Man With the Child in His Eyes 11. Milica Pavlović - Crna jutra (Balkan S&M) This was really strong, so basically putting "Crna jutra (Balkan S&M)" at the bottom feels wrong at the same time, lol! The person behind Adele went big again, although as I mentioned in the listen through, "Rolling in the Deep" is a song to be dropped in the final (or during the last rounds), not so early. Either way, one of my favourites from Adele. "Come Alive" by Leona Lewis is so underappreciated, mainly because it's an album track and it should have been pushed as a single alongside the title track when she released Glassheart back in 2012, but that's another story. Either way, I'm glad that the person behind her went that, although it was a little bit risky. "Ain't My Fault" is one of those songs from Zara which I didn't like when it came out, but I ended up loving it following the years... "Take My Hand" by Dido was clever and I love that the person behind her took the risk from sending almost a 7-minute song. Also, good to see early Jessie Ware in the mix.

01. Calvin Harris - Summer 02. Calvin Harris & Sam Smith - Promises 03. Sam Fender - Saturday 04. Damien Rice - Woman Like a Man 05. Roosevelt - Take Me Back (Midnight Version) 06. Darin feat. Kat DeLuna - Breathing Your Love 07. Tom Grennan - Before You 08. Gary Numan - I Die: You Die 09. HRVY - 1 Day 2 Nights 10. Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me 11. Mackenzy Mackay - London Two Calvin Harris songs and both of them are massive, so they belong to be at the top. 🤭 Glad that the person behind Sam Smith went with that though. "Saturday" and "Woman Like a Man" were really good, while I like the production of the Roosevelt track. I couldn't watch the Darin music video due to a georestricted thing in the listen through session, as well as the one in the OP, but there's one available in his YouTube channel, so I'm wondering whether he uploaded two or not. Independently of that, the song is good and it reminds me of the RedOne late '00s / early '10s production, so it's not surprising that he produced the track. The rest of songs are fine, but "London" wasn't for me.

The Thunderpuss Dark Mix is featured on Spotify's All New Dance playlist at #47 and this playlist has 576.5k saves, hence the reason why it, somehow, got 75.8k streams on the first day in that platform. Her team did something good to be honest.

I can't wait. These teasers are incredible and I'm sure that this is going to be 4/4.

HITS is claiming in their latest update that Miley made it atop with less than 1k units in the US. More details here.

To complement what Addy mentioned above, I guess it only has more competition now (than before), lol! 🫠 I mean, "Nicole Kidman" by ADÉLA is a threat because of her constant increase on streaming platforms and, well, all the new Taylor Swift tracks, especially "Patient Zero". However, I guess the latter is still, somehow, pending. I'm aware there's a lot of hype surrounding them and the streaming numbers are astounding, but let's see how it does over the next few days and weeks. Independently of that, this is still doing good.

Another accolade. The film wins the Audience Award at the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival.

The original version falls to #22 (-3) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 2.62m streams. It also climbs to #58 (+6) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs UK chart with 125.9k streams and jumps to #113 (+31) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs USA chart with 384.8k streams. Meanwhile, the Live from the Royal Albert Hall version returns to #198 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 1.22m streams.

Drops to #187 (-20) on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 1.25m streams.

It depends how BBC news reported them, actually. Spotify empathise in their statement that she broke two records this year as a female artist.
