  1. No, it's from Watership Down remake on BBC One next week
  2. The Sam Smith song is very strong.
  3. Haha I said to James Masterton it was tempting fate and he replied "Mark did note it may end up a bit of foot shooting".
  4. Though I think it's fair to say that Scott is doing a pretty good job. Seems to be taking it more seriously now he's got the permanent gig.
  5. Good news!
  6. I don't recognise the lyrics of this song at all but the melody is really familiar. Wondering if it was mashed up with something on some 2000s dance track?
  7. If Ariana's ahead on everything except for iTunes it's hard to see how Ava will do it.
  8. What about Apple Music and YouTube?

    I don't think Ava was going to make it anyway. She's still quite a bit behind on streams.

    Ariana's got this in the bag now. She's too far ahead of everyone else. Christmas chart week starts in 6 days and she's just had a record-breaking week of streams.

    That's actually a better slot than it usually gets! I've always wondered how the show would do early Saturday evening.

    Is it at 2pm? It was at 12.20 last year.
  13. Well, I think a performance of the big hit DOES help the album directly. If he did the new single, that would've given that a chart boost, and then the increased radio play for that would help the album more indirectly I think. He's also selling tickets at the moment. Ideally he'd have done a medley though.
  14. 11th September 1994, when I was 8 years old. Had just picked up an old Ferguson hi-fi from my great Aunt who didn't need it, and my Dad suggested I put "the charts" on. I'd seen a bit of TOTP but I didn't know there was a radio show that played all the records. I was hooked from the first listen. It was the week Whigfield went to #1.
  15. And Rockabye was released even earlier, in October

    I didn't know it was with Mark Ronson! And it is a really good song so I've had a nibble on this too, though maybe there isn't enough time for it to grow. I've had to put a cover bet on Ariana to cover my potential losses! Still hopeful that Ava can grow over the next couple of weeks but Ariana's video is bound to give her a boost.
  17. Oh I didn't realise the Miley Cyrus single was with Mark Ronson! And it's very good! Have had to make another bet...!
  18. Of course it does. All the stats show that a significant proportion of streamers still listen to the radio too.
  19. It's part of the reason but not the whole reason. It ought to be doing better even without being on any of the playlists, based on its heavy airplay and they're a name that usually does well on streaming.
  20. I don't monitor the thing very closely myself so maybe you're right, but there are some other records below the top 25 which are doing significantly better than Baby. Wasn't it higher than 37 in recent weeks? And like I said it's getting a heck of a lot of airplay, so you'd expect that to help too.
  21. Well apart from us not really knowing how HHUK is compiled (with potential dodgy goings on), that it's only hovering at the bottom of the top 100 probably justifies the decision not to bump it up.
  22. Baby is at #37 out of 76 on HHUK so I would expect it to be doing better on streams than it is - especially that it was at #4 on the national airplay chart last week too. So it must be not connecting as well as their previous songs. I still like it but recognise it's not as good as most of their previous singles. There's still time for it to turn round though.

    It'd have to be a really good song for Miley to be a threat.
