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.

Praying my signed Cassandra cassetes arrive in time for Christmas.

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 days when the album number 1 sold 8k and then plummeted out of the charts behind 98 greatest hits compilations, Rumours and Mabel's 800 track album. :cry:

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:

Any mention of Ed Sheerhan should result in an insta ban. I'm all for pretending he doesn't exist! :cheer:

84k is excellent by most standards, but to a glory hound like Ed it will be absolutely devastating.

Flopdelle confirmed. Will the album now be shelved?

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?

I dare say Ed has a number of duets and remixes ready to avoid ACR for a long time to come.

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.
