If Taylor and Rihanna both had a greatest hits album they’d be #1 and #2 it’s wild.

The fact that there’s looking to be 8 Taylor Swift albums in the top 40 is wild (Midnights, Tortured Poets, Folklore, Evermore, 1989, 1989 TV, Reputation, Lover). Guess it really is Taylor Mania

There’s no way Kendrick is legitimately behind GaGa, the question is surely whether he is #1 or #2? Gaga’s streams have dropped significantly below Kendrick’s over the full week. Even with an average of 6 days that will place him higher again for Thursday; I imagine they have just mentioned GaGa as it’s a new song, to be within contention.

I reckon scrape #1, top 2 confirmed pretty much. he’s pretty much caught up on the Fri-Sun deficit entirely now from Mon/Tues streams; probably only of about 100K on Lola (and ahead of GaGa) which I imagine he will do Weds; and then Thurs calculated stream will be of the run rate of last few days . Could be his first #1, if not #2. GaGa missing out on a #2 it seems

Going to guess the top 5 to look like this: 1) Lola 2) Lady GaGa 3) Kendrick Lamar 4) Chappel Roan 5) Alex Warren

I think it’s moreso Christmas ACR and her having the last non Christmas #1. It’s not majorly benefitted her other than December and all Christmas songs being on ACR.

Without all the compilation albums that are just certs because of Spotify playlisting; the top 3 is looking to be Taylor, Sabrina and Billie. Interesting that Chappel would close out the top 5 also, with Charli looking to be sixth. A very strong year for women in music

Beyoncé has no shot of staying; it’d be a travesty if that album wins album of the year; nobody seems to be repeat listening to it. Should be a criteria for the album to be in the top 25 sales to win; as otherwise an album 95% of the population haven’t heard meaning it had minimal cultural impact.

Wild to think both Beyonce and Dua have put out albums early in the year to aid with streaming sales and they’re both looking likely to not even be in the top 40. Beyoncé really does get by on her name as not many people seem to actually listen or buy her music.

Ah I see, guess it just seems more impressive in the current sales climate where a 1M selling album in the U.K. is typically the strongest selling album of the year; whereas albums that sold 1M in the 80s/90s in the U.K. could be as low as the 20th best selling album of the year

Crazy to think Taylor will probably have 7 albums reach the 1M mark next year Currently: 1989 Red Definitely hitting next year: Midnights Reputation Lover Very likely to hit next year: The Tortured Poets Department Folklore 7 albums over the million mark; is that a record?

He’s got signed CDs so reckon he will be top 3. Lewis Capaldi got to #1 when he was about #12 on streaming because of his signed CDs

Sam’s just announced a signed CD and a B side song on it; I think he could get #1 now!

Exactly my point she is making dated music. She’s very lucky to rely on duets with huge stars who help the duet perform well; without them she wouldn’t have had any hits in about a decade. The majority of the market would be making universal music

No, Gaga’s song is very dated; not suprised the mass market aren’t listening to it; it’s just 25+ year olds

Very very lucky as well for it to get top 10, one of the lowest week in sales in many months; especially with so many of the most consumed songs being on ACR and no big Friday album launch as well. Would struggle to make top 15 on a normal week.

9 weeks is too soon for ACR but this song has been hogging the top spot

Find it crazy that For You was around #67 and witho a reset still missed top 40? Considering What make until was low 40s and made it into the top 30 I assumed For You would have just made it. Must have been very close.

Doubt it, reckon Story of my life and Night Changes will both overtake once they get reset.

I wonder if For You his other solo career song that’s been doing well has risen also. Would be nice if one of these two got in the top 40 in the overall chart.

I hope For You - Liam/Rita goes up high, that song was underrated

Charli/Paul might be closer than expected as Paul was on Lorraine today and has slashed his album to try for #1; he’d also restocked his signed CDs and his vinyl which was out of stock this week; he is heavily promoting it. He probably only needs an additional 3K sales from his Tuesday closing position to get #1 which with more signed CDs, the vinyl restocked, the price slashing and his TV appearances and heavy social media push really doesn’t seem impossible now; I’d argue it’s more likely than not

Interesting how close this battle will be, probably within 2.5K either way.

Charli’s streaming will get her to overtake

For me personally it’s the worst remix of the album, and the only track considerably worse than the original song. It has no chorus, which was the best bit of the song. There are some tracks I prefer more than the original: Them being: Club classics Von Dutch Everything is romantic Apple Girl, so confusing B2B I think about it all the time 365 Guess
