I hope there are some remixes of that! Considering the only version it's been a hit here were the dance covers by Interactive it should work!

There was a thread about it on DS but I think it was more anecdotal about some local stores rather than any announcement about a national policy

Little Mix have released at least 12 different versions themselves so really both of them are taking the piss. OCC needs to change the rules.

I have a look because I can sometimes discover a decent new song that I've missed And despite the low sales, it's interesting that the chart still largely makes some sort of sense - it feels like a continuation of the chart pre-2015, rather than just the big mess you would expect it to be. It's a lot more reactive than the streaming chart - a high profile TV appearance or a death has more of an impact. And I like that it's less hip-hop/rap oriented.

OK, Trump. :lol:

:blink: I don't like the record either, but playlists are built on these sort of metrics. It's also high up on the Shazam chart, and has just gone official top 100 today. And it's signed to Polydor so it's not really all that random.

Generic house track, nothing special

I like that 220 Kid track but it sounds really out of place when it comes on Radio 2.. and it's not even like it's a big hit. Bizarre.

Dumb public listening to the same old songs :wacko:

How does a 39 and a 54 on Spotify and Apple = 24 on official chart for Train Wreck?

Clara Amfo danced to it and Dua also gave her a video message

Nah.. there's a distinct lack of genuine monster crossover hits around at the moment. Feels to me like a lot of the stuff making top 5 is getting there by default. Bad times.

Oh, I hate that. It's so ignorant to not check whether your chosen name is already in use. They might not have had a hit in years but they were massive in the 90s.

Especially as 5 weeks seem to be your lot on Radio 2 - I think they could afford to play some songs longer than that.

He would've still had 3 solo hits in the top 40 though, with Careless Whisper at 18. Plus he died "inconveniently" in the middle of a chart week. Comparable with Whitney.

double post

I really like this and the only other ballad I know from them is Many Of Horror.. any others you can recommend?

I still use it all the time (via Siri).. mainly when I hear something I don't recognise on the TV or if it's a remix of a song I know. It's pretty clever. It sometimes even manages to pick up songs playing on the background in EastEnders.. I believe Radio 1 use it as one of the metrics to decide whether to playlist something

Maria Mena - They Never Leave Their Wives album out Oct 23 https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-HqYbhB21/

The revised chart was never published so of course all sources used the original. We only got to see the chart when OCC launched their new website in the 2010s

why?

Ace Of Base - Wheel Of Fortune (Singlewave Remix) - new 2020 remix single out tomorrow

Based on the artists I recognise, you've got similar tastes to me.. I too like to listen to a variety of mainstream pop and dance from across Europe, so gonna check out some of the songs I don't know!

Don't forget Big Top 40 is also a very visible chart - Steps went in at 3 there If she has no chance of making official top 40 anyway there's no point in releasing on a Friday. She's better off not being on the top 100 at all than at 80 or something.
