Given how much Freya has slipped throughout this week has she actually avoided ACR this week? (sure she was 12 on Monday but 16 today)

If tracks don't go on ACR until streaming has declined for three weeks in a row with no regard to sales will that actually benefit slow burning sleeper hits because streaming takes longer to kick in for these songs meaning they could be on SCR for much longer before being affected by these rules?

I'm a big fan of Lost Without You. Hope it can avoid ACR (next week?) and go back to the Top 10 Pity Tom Jones won't have any streaming and neither it nor Fleur will impact the Official Top 40

So what is likely to be on ACR tomorrow?

I hope Freya can increase in streams this week (I think this week is Week 3 because I am sure she had a sales increase when she dropped to number 14) and thus avoid ACR. How far up HH is she now? Unfortunately I don't see Fleur going top 40

Just a thought- could French Montana finally get a Number 8 peak in the book or will it climb to 7 for a week like Martin Jensen did?

Glad Reggaeton as a genre is going to get a No 1 today but wish they hadn't had to put Bieber on it Go Despacito

I hope Despacito gets there soon How on earth is Ed Sheeran still No1 combined on the Official Audio Streaming Chart aired by MTV when he is no so far behind Khaled and Luis on Spotify? Surely this week will be his last?

Galway Girl still has a proper vid to drop and Ed is playing Glastonbury. Could it get to No1 in June?

Still No1 combined by at least 75,000 streams when all remixes are factored in then I like it and would rather it held the record for weeks at No1 than Drake or Frankie Laine I also like Symphony and am glad CB have followed up Rockabye with another smash

Shape of You actually appeals to lovers of many different types of music- there is a dance mix by Galantis, a Stormzy mix for grime fans, a stripped down acoustic version, the Major Lazer mix and even an unofficial Dancehall version credited to Jah B. I actually think there is nothing samey about it but that might be just me I also like Despacito but wish they hadn't roped in Justin Bieber to get a hit!

Think the gap between CB and Ed tomorrow will be a better guide to No1. I still think they overestimate Thursday's streaming I am also big reggae/reggaeton fan so would love to see Despacito crack T40

I think with the remixes of Shape that are outside the top 200 (by Major Lazer, Galantis and the Acoustic version) factored in Shape's lead may still be approaching 100,000 I agree that CB deserve to be Number 1 overall but unfortunately I think its chance may well have passed

MTV's Chart Update has Shape down to 4 and Disciples up to 5 So which data are they using this week ?

Harry is down to 13 and Shape is still clear No1 when combined Shape back at No1 on Friday?

I wish the Disciples track was doing better Looks like when all formats are included Shape may still be No 1 by 100,000 streams (including the Stormzy, Major Lazer and Acoustic versions that I know are on Spotify) and the race for next week's official No1 could be interesting

Train are actually 50 places higher on Spotify than Disciples. They were also higher on Spotify than Disciples are now when they were top 10 on sales. Yet overall they only entered in the low 20s. Correlation is Disciples streaming total may well mean they miss the top 40 because I always think Thursday streams are over-weighted and seem to have a bigger effect on the chart compared to Wed/Thurs update than maybe they should do

Their streaming is worse than Train- only No181 on Spotify today. Hope they climb and maybe they can sneak in this week or next ?

Think it will be close but think Harry will be No1. I actually like the Harry track but maintain my view that it won't appeal to his 1D fans out there So his second single may make it clearer as to what longevity he has as a solo star

Does Train somehow climbing to #44 mean all Spotify data could be missing from this update?

Same amount of data missing as usual? I expect Harry will be Number 1 but the gap may well be cut. Also, good to see Skin still rising and hope it gets to the top 10 eventually even though I doubt it will happen

Doesn't Shape of You have at least 130,000 more daily streams than Galway Girl when all its Spotify formats are combined? I also don't think the Harry Styles track will appeal to his old 1D audience, which may be why it struggles on streams I do agree it's great to have a chart battle for a change (have been following BJ and the charts for years even though I have only just got round to registering)
