I wonder if Taylor would be able to hit #5 with cruel summer? Do we know if it’s close? I know she’s outperforming both on Spotify and Apple Music but seems other avenues (iTunes and Amazon) they must be outperforming

Best is I Don’t Care, I think it’s a good pop song. I’ve ignored the sasuage roll song because it’s ridiculous but excluding that Perfect really annoys me and I can’t explain why

Shocked Sia’s Cheap Thrills is #1 for 2015

It’s a shame that shake it off and blank space would both be #1 hits had she not removed her discography from Spotify. I remember her being #1 on the sales chart by a big lead but had obviously zero streams to add. Likewise style would be top 10 and wildest dreams would have been top 20.

Are these sales correct? Surely not Stating Taylor has sold 130k of midnights and AM’s The Car has sold 100k? I can’t post the link as I don’t have 20 posts but the Ed Sheeran the sun article today about filming a documentary reality show (has sales claims for this weeks album chart)

Can people stream maroon so it replaces snow on the beach, SOTB is a middle of the road song on the album and is only streaming high as it’s directly after people clicking anti-hero

My guess is: Midnights - 59k The Car - 57k Probably underestimating now, but think first chart update will be very strong because of pre orders and physicals and then it’ll die down massively for both (due to no hit single beforehand, aka casuals not really knowing)

Not sure how to make the poll close after 24 hours if a moderator could do that please

Probably should have made this poll a few days ago, but will open the poll for a day to prevent mid weeks coming in. Talking about total certified sales, not just physicals (including streaming, vinyls, cds, cassettes, downloads) and in the Uk Please vote for just one Arctic Monkeys and one Taylor swift option, don’t cheat and vote for multiple of each. Poll will close in less than 24 hours due to information coming Sunday Started at 30k, as I think due to large fan bases this is the minimum either could sell, as well as not going above 90k in individual brackets as that would be a lot in current climates

I like Bieber, but I don't like how streaming has SUCH value in the chart, how a track can jump 10+ poisitions from it, or fall massively. (It's really going to affect Taylor Swift's singles in the future, she could sell a #1 single, but it'd probably just break the official top 10, people are likely to cry flop who don't understand the chart. Or Imagine if her single was just a good 'top 5' sales hit, It'd likely to chart at like #25) So I'm hoping Shawn Mendes actually manages to scrape into 3, because I don't believe him having this #1,#2,#3 record is deserved, when so many in the past would have likely to have broken the same record had streaming been available and had such an impact then. Although it's going to be close, Adele may even fall out of the top 5, with Grace overtaking? Hello is falling fast on itunes, it's an exciting week for the chart. #1 - Justin Bieber - Love Yourself #2 - Justin Bieber - Sorry #3 - Shawn Mendes/Justin Bieber #4 - Shawn Mendes/Justin Bieber #5 Grace/Adele I'm going to predict Shawn will get the #3, and Grace will get the #5, pushing Adele out of the top 5. But who knows! Also will be good to see if Little Mix are able to chart with the surge of sales

Think Years & Years could win it! :D
