Given that Live Lounge was outselling The Weeknd by at least 8 to 1 on Friday and Saturday I'm surprised the margin is only 5.3k. I don't expect Tom to be Top 5 on Friday but do expect they will make another push midweek with his 100th birthday on Thursday

I suspect it will drop off after his 100th birthday on Thursday

Could end up in 2 or 3 weeks with Toosie Slide No 1 and Rover Top 3. Not sure what I think of that prospect actually. Death Bed, Say So, Blueberry Faygo and Falling are due to hit ACR a week after BL and co

Unless Live Lounge holds up Drake will be No 1 in 2 weeks by default. Say So and Falling are 1 week behind Blinding Lights so could easily repeak and maybe Falling could still go Top 10?

I think Captain Tom and Live Lounge will both hold up this week but Live Lounge will be further up the charts due to better streaming

Remember that Tom's 100th birthday is actually Thursday so don't be surprised to see another push next week

Does this mean Live Lounge All Stars racked up 45,000 downloads effectively in 6 hours give that it didn't explode until 8pm. That is some achievement

Given that Ava would have been 40 if she had been in probably has she actually been pushed out in effect by the Live Lounge All Stars who are clearly in despite effectively only having a few hours sales?

Pity these sales will have no effect on the chart and may stop Tom being No1 (he hasn't been this close to The Weeknd all week)

People seem to have switched from Tom to the R1 single and Tom is now only 25% ahead of the Weeknd (0.28 to 0.03). Bit annoyed at them for releasing on Thursday if it stops the R1 single charting high !

The Weeknd gained 9000 on Tom today. At that rate it could well be a dead heat on Friday. Will phantom Thursday stream syndrome mean the Weeknd snatches the No1 at the last minute?

it surprised me as well

2 hours ago BL was still at 0.29 on Kworb Have just looked at LivePopBars and No2 is at 0.62 on Tom Looks like Tom may well be flagging at the last minute which is what I thought would happen I do want them to get the No1 but is it on the bag yet given the phantom Thursday syndrome?

Michael Ball has shown signs of flagging today but surely its 78% lead over The Weeknd should be enough to guarantee No1 on Friday?

Disappointed Tequila has gone backwards but pleased Beth Porch held up and should be guaranteed Top 40 spot (using Matt Lucas numbers as a guide)

Can Michael Ball hold on to No 1 with no streams? Will be interesting to see how far ahead he is tomorrow. Based on last weeks numbers he's guaranteed Top 5 already but he needs LadBaby type numbers to be Number 1. What do people think his chances are?

I forgot Toosie Slide! Looks like that will be No1 by default in 2 weeks then

If all the current Top 6 hit ACR at the same time which is possible what will be the next No1? Sam and Demi? Powfu? Or something new?

Maybe the fact that Sweet but Pyscho is higher up Spotify than the new track is why it missed the Top 40 in the end?

Could Becky stay in and 21 Pilots end up at 41 instead?

So very little effect on the Top 40 then the possibility of a May meltdown if that big group all go ACR at once lol. Good luck working out what will be number 1 if that happens

How many weeks do Roses, Lonely, Adore You and Falling have left now>

Matt Lucas dropped 12 spots in one day. Given his lack of streams is he 100% guaranteed to stay top 40 on Friday?

Drake is No1 because his streams were flat and The Weekend's streams were minus 36,000 compared to yesterday's chart. I doubt it will make much difference to his chart position Presume Powfu and Blueberry Faygo will both be Top 10 on Friday

Looks like Becky Hill succumbed to ACR given that fall. What else did- I thought both Harry tracks would be vulnerable this week?
