I think only you are downplaying the expectations for this song. I’m surprised it’s going to debut top 20!

Yeah I was going to say I think that’s a great debut for sombr! And I can see the track climbing too, it sounds like it will be massive!

Nope, it was A Listed for 6 weeks!

Great to see Gorillaz on there! What a lovely surprise, Orange County is my favourite of this era so far (just a shame that R1 daytime aren't on board any longer) Nice to see Holly Humberstone and Myles Smith/Niall Horan both making it on there too. Quite surprised to see Peter Andre making an appearance! Hopefully Sombr is on there next week, I was hoping it would also get an insta-add with how universally liked the song seems to be. In terms of the other big releases today, I don't forsee Zayn or Calvin making it on there, but stranger things have happened

Not to have a go, but since you’ve joined this forum all you seem to have done is complained about everything!

I know it’s had a boost but I cant quite believe the numbers that Man I Need is still doing! It will take a massive song to knock it off the top

EsDeeKid has just released a new track, his first since he’s really gone massive. I don’t think it will be a number 1 contender but I could see him in the top 10?

Just a small update btw, 06 Wayne Rooney hasn’t been played at all this week. I think J Hus’ Outside is still on in its place

I honestly don’t know what’s going to topple Olivia? I can see it going back to Number 1 after the Brits if it gets a reset!

One thing you definitely can’t describe Raindance as is ‘mumble rap crap.’ I feel like you sometimes just give that definition to all rap songs?

Surprised to see Baby Steps added now considering how long ago R1 added it to their playlist. Also good to see Louis added quickly. They're really enjoying Charlie Puth this era. That Dolly Parton track is a new recording of her classic song to celebrate her 80th birthday - nice to see that on there.

Spotify won’t really care about that though? If they’re being legitimately streamed (and I have no reason to question that) then Spotify can have whatever they like in their chart

And Stateside is still on it!

I’ve never really cared for her before, but this is a magnificent song!

I love Welcome To New York :( such an underrated track on 1989

The whole forum is running extremely slowly for me tonight, anyone else?

I do wonder what the next number 1 after Harry will be? With Dave, Djo and Raye all declining now!

Really like all the additions this week, especially Revival House Project, what a brilliant throwback dance song that is!

That was because the Tiger Lily part went viral didn’t it? It was after the song was released. I don’t think there’s any need for Raye to add Feminine Heeling to the title

First I knew of George Ezra releasing a song called Click Clack Symphony!
