If not the last one by Dave, that Tion Wayne one

Ugh, horrible sexist drivel back at #1 then.

MTV are playing the live acoustic version

3 weeks top 10 is great, but why is she only #10 when she's been higher than that on Spotify & Apple most of the week? Close sales?

I just think the chart should reflect new music and music discovery rather than just what people are listening to - more like it did in the sales era. I don't care that a lot of people are still listening to the song. You can have the pure streaming chart for that. But the top 40 is for new music. The rules need a radical overhaul IMHO.

That's early :lol:

I'd do exactly what Jay has done - makes much more sense

Moving best ofs (and maybe studio albums older than a few years) to their own chart seems like such an obvious first step to me. I'm surprised record companies aren't demanding it already.

On the plus side, it gives her a better chance of making top 10 on Big Top 40. Whereas making the OCC Top 40 would be a bit of a challenge anyway. It's also debatable whether charting lower down the Top 100 is really very helpful. Might be better to not chart at all? And go all out for #1 album.

Crikey is 7Digital still going

An everlasting piece of art

I guess they don't want to draw attention to it, and unless you've got all the data it would be pretty difficult to actually work it out yourself anyway. I don't really care how they do it - it's just bad that they have to at all.

What the heck are they waiting for in dispatching those :arrr:

Yes. Johnny Logan's 2nd winner reached #2 in 1987.

ESC not EU ;)

Yeah it was a throwaway comment, the sort of thing everyone left-leaning has thought or said at some point in the last 7 years. Of course the Daily Mail etc chose to take it literally.

Shame he always seems to struggle with streams

I'm not sure it'll be a big hit. People liked it as a performance more than a song.

Think it's based on how many people click Share isn't it

Ed's new songs aren't his usual streaming friendly sound, so I don't know why people are surprised. It's not like his fans have just deserted him less than 2 years since his last album. If he wants to do another album full of chartworthy bops he'll back on top.

Yay for Freya

Because it's a measure of success isn't it. If you've had one successful album, spend 4 years on the second and be really proud of it and excited for your fans to hear it, and then it turns out nobody is interested, of course that's going to be upsetting. So hope she's been misinformed or there was a data issue.

Oh my, that's heartbreaking. I hope that's wrong because it doesn't make sense.
