Amazing figures for RUTH , especially as it has no playlist support or airplay to boost it.

How can a song go viral on TikTok before it has been released- surely people need to hear it first?

Can't believe Netflix got Kate Bush to number 1 on Spotify. Might renew my subscription just for this miracle. :cheeseblock: Number 2 on US Spotify as well

Got a bit worried when I saw Kate topping the itunes chart. Pleased to discover she is there for good reasons!

Maybe now the British music industry will stop looking down their noses at Eurovision ...

Another cack song to add to the 2022 collection.

Looks like they have cleared the path for an Anders win then as only Klara could have stopped him. God forbid Sweden take a year off from sending Male soloists.

No, keep them. It's mildly annoying but I don't like 75% of the songs that are normally in the chart anyway so it's no big loss for me. Plus, the charts are already borderline "OCC Fan fiction" as it is- any further and they may as well just make up the charts every week for headlines instead of them actually reflecting what people are listening to

Rerelease the Peppa Pig album with this as a bonus track please.

Nobody can flop properly nowadays! :cheeseblock:

Possibly the only time I will ever be rooting for Ed. The sausage roll thing wasn't very funny the first time around, let alone the 4th.

I don't think I have come even remotely close to listening to any album enough to be counted as a "sale" on Spotify. As the physical market heads towards rigor mortis, they should really change the album sales formula imo.

The album physical market is as dead as a dodo and Spotify users are not exactly known for their love of women singing 6 minute ballads, so Adele has done about as well as can be expected.

I miss the Sophos

Of course, the real reason it has 30 tracks on the album is because Adele's "30" being released forced her to alter the release date. I hope the code crackers are looking for all the hidden Adele shade in the new tracks. :magic:

Oh yeah, looks like it did only have one week in the top 20- for some reason I thought it was two. :kink: It really is a chart oddity.

Remarkable that Mr Brightside has only ever spent 2 weeks in the top 20.

What happened to Dido's fanbase?

Whatever happened to Adele?

Hoping for an instant add to Hot Hits. Spotify had better support her this time.

Strange decision of theirs to basically abandon their USP for generic Spotify playlist fodder that most people do better than them.

She probably insisted on this being the lead single knowing her bad her taste in her own music seems to be.

Had no idea Freed from Desire was football related!

I'm kinda surprised she hasn't done any collaborations and seems to be writing everything alone. I doubt she lacked offers after Dance Monkey.

Tightrope from The Greatest Showman is certified Platinum, but I don't think it ever charted.
