Type Dangerous #1 TV Airplay! Random but cool. Video channels must be having summer music blocks now. Nice entry for Lorde's Shapeshifter at #50 on radio airplay.

OMG, current tracks in the TV Airplay Chart again 🤩 Nice debut for Suzanne on Radio Airplay. Wish that radio airplay for Mariah would translate to singles chart.

Julian, you're a prince! Thank you so much

Nice to see Mariah debut at #35 on the radio airplay chart! The way the TV Airplay Chart will remain a throwback classics list from now on 😅

Manchild up to #2 on Apple!

The way the TV Airplay Chart is just a throwback list 😆 It's interesting to look at, I suppose.

Manchild #3 on Apple Music already!

Obvious #1. Song is okay but not in the same league as Neneh Cherry's underrated top 5 hit of the same name in 1989:

The way this will never get out of ACR and probably go 5x Platinum this or next year without going higher than #81 😅

The album is #1 on Apple Music which is something.

This basically confirms that the only relevant TV channels still playing videos are the throwback ones 😂

Gina G #1 TV Airplay 😄

Disgusting to see Morgan at #1.

Any chance of Shape Of You being overthrown as the most consumed song ever by Last Christmas, Mr. Brightside, or Do They Know It's Christmas by the end of the year?

The album is #2 on Apple Music so I hope she's ensured a top 10 position next week. Doing great for a mixtape!

Thanks, Daniel. House Of The Rising Sun is certified 2x Platinum (which of course only represents its' sales from 1994 onwards. I have it at 1.972 million in total including the 1964, 1972, & 1982 releases).

Tracklist according to Apple Music: 01 Relentless Love 02 Vertigo 03 Taste 04 Stay On Me 05 Dolce Vita 06 Time 07 Glamorous 08 Freedom Of The Night 09 Layers 10 Diamond In The Dark 11 Heart Sing 12 Don't Know What You've Got 'Til Its Gone Taste is fabulous as expected
