Virtually impossible to get the rights for all the various artists.

IMO, the only #1 that has no chance whatsoever of hitting streaming is Perfecf Day, sadly.

Aww I love Windmills of Your Mind - but I guess the nature of these rates is that we all lose high scorers at some point!

Absolutely not, and furthermore the ACR / three track rules should be completely abolished. The official charts shouldn’t be a playlist (leave that to the big top 40) but a historic record of popular consumption of music over the previous 7 days - with every track treated completely equally.

Interesting to see how high Bad Bunny climbs…

*former beards

The beat really reminds of O Superman at times haha

(1)-4 for Aperture, just like Sign of the Times x

Can see Fate of Ophelia breaking Thinking Out Loud’s record of consecutive weeks in Top 40.

I hope Jessie Ware makes top 100.

Student radio mistakes from Jack!

I just feel old that 2015/2016 is considered “retro”!

So is hating on successful women…

Noah hasn’t got the voice to carry this Fender / Springsteen style song off, has he?

What a drop from midweek #1! What’s the record?

Love the thought of barring songs from the charts on the basis of subjective musical credibility!
