Charli’s already on there, she was added last week as a joint spot with SS26 and it’s now just Wink Wink on there on its own

The only thing I can think of is Ariana’s album at the end of next month? But even then I’m not sure they’ll be anything that will do huge numbers

Don't think there's a single addition this week that I'm interested in - hopefully some more adds next week.

What was the first song? Blinding Lights?

I think that’s 10 out of the 16 songs so far released before 2026 - we’re halfway through the year!!

I actually think it might be worse now than around 2016 time. There’s definitely fewer new entries anyway

Is it?! I had no idea if that’s true, it’s getting support from R1 and Capital Dance too

Might be missing something obvious but which of those songs they’ve added is AI?

Taylor had 5k CD’s shipped last week, how many more could she have sold?!

Huh?? I’m so confused. What on earth has happened?!

Surprised not to see Aitch! Thought that would have been added this week (especially with the lack of British rap doing well at the moment) Do we think it’s too late for Becky now? :( I thought she’d have been a shoe in for an add being Hottest Record too I also think I heard Greg say the Tune of the Weekend is the new Jazzy track Invisible

Well REVERSE!! is a bit of a banger - didn’t expect it to be as good as that!

Apologies for the delay this week all, normal service will resume this weekend. Good to see adds for Alex Warren and Shakira. Really enjoying the ROLE MODEL track as well. From taking a listen to the tracks just now that I hadn't heard, that Roger Taylor song is one of the strangers I've heard on here for a while (and definitely not what I would expect the Queen drummer to be releasing!)

Ahh this is a bit of a banger! Hopefully this is the start of her break through. I don’t really understand why Radio 1 aren’t right on her?!

In a way I hope it doesn’t crack the top 10 just so you don’t have weeks upon weeks of recalculations to do!

Why would they play 80s songs when their target audience wasn’t born then? Even Heart rarely (if ever) play anything from the 80s now and they have an older audience target. It would be like saying R1 needs to play more 80s and no one is asking for that!

It’s taken 2 weeks but I really do like this now! In terms of her leads, I can’t decide between this and Dangerous Woman for 2nd place! (With No Tears Left To Cry miles in front!)

Big drop for this!

Yes, Lauren is now on maternity leave!

Yeah I reckon she’ll be number 1 this week but only for 1 week again. Hopefully The Cure can rise a bit further but I have a feeling we’ll be back to Rein Me In

Ahh in my mind Hypnogogic (?) was playlisted too and was only C Listed but I must have misremembered

I feel like a Love Regenerator song that he did a few years ago might have done? I just wondered if that didn’t appear in your data as it was under a different name
