Thanks. This is going to take me ages to get used to :whistle:

Symphony, Shape of You and Swalla should all be hit by the new 300 - 1 rules. Is it definitely this week the new rules come into play, or is it after next Friday?

When are the new rules due?

Despacito as expected should take back number 1. As for Divide I'm not expecting a huge boost this week. Seems Ed pleased his "already fans" rather than winning over the nay Sayers at Glasto. Still may see a few extra thousand shifted. 30k could be enough this week in the album chart.

Oh dear. I ran out of time. Only got 80. Spent half of my time battling with my spellcheck!!!! Even if I had got through them all I couldn't have named a single Drake song so I'd never have got 100%. Still, poxy spellcheck 😡

Yeah Shape of You won't go Top 10 again. Will hold Top 20 thanks to Glastonbury. I also think Despacito has a very good chance of returning to Number 1 this week. It's going to be close.

Yeah that's true. I'd hope it would get that far to make the bet interesting, but based on current sales it's probably not going to make it to the Christmas run time.

Wow, massive drop for Shape of You. Maybe it won't be hanging around in the Top 40 for anywhere near as long as I thought it would. Down with Swalla in sales now! I stupidly made a bet on it lasting 52 weeks but no chance based on these sales. My mistake.

Thank you, will do

Not sure what album streaming figures are available, but is there any indication whether the one love Manchester album is streaming with decent figures following release today.

I'm streaming OLT all day everyday until Friday but Despacito is too strong on streaming. Be interesting to see the next Spotify update.

Despacito is just too strong at the moment. Still, Top 10 should be doable and Top 5 would be a treat although maybe out of reach.

I've never ever used iTunes before, but I've just purchased 3 versions of OLT. It's going to be a hard order to beat Despacito but let's DO THIS. I'll stream next week as much as I can do.

Really dislike I'm the one. Half of them use autotune. So happy that Despacito came alone to take the throne (no autotune) :D

Oh wow. That's why nobody ever talks about the Top 10 record. Thank you for the response.

Shape of you 21 weeks in the Top 10?! Has he broken the record for this yet as this is probably on it's last legs inside the Top 10.

It will be a shame for Ari if she finishes 11th because of a stupid politically based track. No way the Beatles will lose Number 1 from there. I think Divide's days at Number 1 are over now. Still, 10 weeks at the top, doubt Ed will mind too much.

Styles will definitely outsell what Kasabian achieved in their first week.

yeeeeessssssss. Go Despacito. Goodbye ITO.

Seriously hope Despacito can power ahead of I'm the One. Looks likely it'll unfortunately get its second week at Number 1 but I'm praying Despacito can replace this awful track at the very latest the week after next.

Completely agree. In fact I registered just to agree with you. I don't think it will be anything like another SOY thankfully and should only hold top spot for a few weeks. Just shows you what people will listen to though. My ears still hurt from all the auto tuning!
