BOOBA GRANDE

I can't move on if we don't break a tie! :lol:

Okay, I need at least one more vote!

No, Bizzarap and Shakira have decreased, but only slightly: from 14.4m to 13.7m. Wonder how it will hold up in the UK! In USA they also increased on day 2, from #6 to #5, up 300k streams.

Week 3 results! As tommie pointed out, 'Today' is above 300k now, and 'No Regrets' joined the 6 figures club from Friday's plays, which makes the majority of tracks from the original edition making there already. Next in line are 'Metal Heart' and 'I'm Alright', which should make it there until the end of 4th week of album's availability. Overall week 3 brought 'The Lost Tapes' 480k spins, down from 577k (-17%). Pretty steady, but since next week the New Music Friday effect will have faded away completely. Weekly plays (sorted by wk3 plays) Track | w2 | w3 | Change Today | 131 764 | 123 412 | -6% Drum | 48 238 | 43 486 | -10% Summer of '99 | 46 422 | 41 217 | -11% Flatline | 44 374 | 35 944 | -19% Boys | 40 196 | 33 845 | -16% Love Me Hard | 38 885 | 33 688 | -13% No Regrets | 30 202 | 24 656 | -18% I'm Alright | 27 455 | 19 733 | -28% Metal Heart | 26 403 | 19 304 | -27% Victory | 24 562 | 18 353 | -25% Beat Is Gone | 24 642 | 18 021 | -27% Back in the Day | 21 568 | 16 583 | -23% I Lay Down | 21 301 | 15 810 | -26% Breathe Me | 17 204 | 13 852 | -19% Back to Life | 16 960 | 11 304 | -33% Only You | 16 454 | 10 346 | -37% 'Drum' became the second steadiest track behind 'Today' now, which is still propelled nicely by playlisting. 'I Lay Down' became the slowest track of the standard edition (to my great shame!), and 'Only You' now slid to the last position overall. 'Breathe Me' is now the healthiest deluxe track and it falls even slower than many of the standard edition songs! By the end of January I expect the first 11 tracks of 'The Lost Tapes' to cross 100k, 'Drum' and 'Summer' should sail through 200k and if the playlisting doesn't stop - 'Today' for 500k. I think now 1m is not out of sight for 'Today', which would be very nice for this single that never happened. In slightly worse news, it will not be enough to trouble the top-5 fastest streamed Sugababes tracks: 'Today' is streamed slightly more than 'Overload' so far, but is behind 'Hole in the Head' and everything above it.

I was the only one giving Eruption all 23 points, didn’t expect that! I thought the song was fairly known (or liked :kink: )

I feel you a lot, it literally is my favourite too 😢 And Silas, about Back in the Day — it gives a lot of All Saints vibes to me actually! I was even surprised not to find Shaznay’s credits on this one!

Completely forgot Encanto was as recent as 2022! +14 Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal - B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) +13 Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero +12 LF SYSTEM - Afraid To Feel +11 Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) +10 Adele - Easy On Me +9 Harry Styles - As It Was +8 Dave - Starlight +7 David Guetta & Bebe Rexha - I’m Good (Blue) +6 Encanto Cast - We Don’t Talk About Bruno +5 Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me +4 GAYLE - abcdefu +3 Wham! - Last Christmas +2 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You +1 Sam Smith & Kim Petras - Unholy 0 LadBaby - Food Aid

Lol love it and the lyrics are amazing and so meme-able. 'Women don't cry, women invoice' is my favourite. :D Didn't expect such a 'pop' sound from this collab though!

I really didn’t expect ‘Today’ to lose out, and especially to ‘Back in the Day’, but here we are!

We are closing the group rounds and moving on to the play-off! First, we will start with the quarter finals, and here are our quarter-finalists: We lost: Drum - Group A, 3rd place Only You - Group A, 4th place I Lay Down - Group B, 3rd place Back to Life - Group B, 4th place Metal Heart - Group C, 3rd place Breathe Me - Group C, 4th place Today - Group D, 3rd place Boys - Group D, 4th place In the play-off we can vote for only one songs of the two, with 4 songs going to the semi-finals!

And they crossed 3,000,000 listeners, on 3,009,380 listeners as of today!!! Up almost 200k listeners in just 6 days.

I am fine with waiting for more! I felt DISCO era had just ended, I need some time to be honest, and it seems the quality will only improve if we wait!

To be fair with you, with each such news I feel more and more that if they had released this album as MKS in 2013, it would have flopped hard, and right now it keeps outperforming expectations!

Makes sense now :D anyway I was the only one who voted for it hahaha

The group D results so far are very surprising to me too! I went with Flatline and Today

Oh sorry about Five, it is in this list though: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=197172 I took it as a base for my votes

Since the group C results are very clear, moving on to the last group already! After that will open the quarter finals. We lost: Drum - Group A, 3rd place Only You - Group A, 4th place I Lay Down - Group B, 3rd place Back to Life - Group B, 4th place Metal Heart - Group C, 3rd place Breathe Me - Group C, 4th place Poor Breathe Me, got zero votes! Group D commencing. The multiple answer option is available, but only the top-2 will manage to go into play-off! Will close the voting and move on to the quarters around Jan 12 - 13th.

I personally voted Summer and Metal Heart! But so far the results are the most clear from the three groups haha.

A fairly weak list tbh! +12 Bru-C - No Excuses +10 Justin Bieber - Ghost +8 Lizzo - 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) +7 Tiësto & Ava Max - The Motto +6 George Ezra - Anyone for You +5 Beyoncé - Alien Superstar +4 Sigala feat. Talia Mar - Stay the Night +3 Joel Corry & Becky Hill - History +2 Dermot Kennedy - Kiss Me +1 Dean Martin - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Halfway through the group round, we have the group B results! Next, we're going to see who's gonna compete against the groups A and B winners. We lost: Drum - Group A, 3rd place Only You - Group A, 4th place I Lay Down - Group B, 3rd place Back to Life - Group B, 4th place Group C commencing. The multiple answer option is available, but only the top-2 will manage to go into play-off! Will close the voting and move on to group D on Jan 11th at some point.

Sorry for the triple post, but ‘Today’ is the number one track on ‘Golden List’ (50k likes)!

More stats! Weekly plays Track | w1 | w2 | Change Drum | 58517 | 48238 | -18% Flatline | 64808 | 44374 | -32% Love Me Hard | 54798 | 38885 | -29% Summer of '99 | 59247 | 46422 | -22% Boys | 56957 | 40196 | -29% Metal Heart | 42874 | 26403 | -38% Beat Is Gone | 40395 | 24642 | -39% No Regrets | 46012 | 30202 | -34% Today | 63843 | 131764 | 106% Victory | 38852 | 24562 | -37% I'm Alright | 39404 | 27455 | -30% I Lay Down | 35157 | 21301 | -39% Back in the Day | 33659 | 21568 | -36% Back to Life | 0 | 16960 | N Breathe Me | 0 | 17204 | N Only You | 0 | 16454 | N Overall on week 2 the album gained 577k streams, opposed to 635k streams on week 1. That's with the three new tracks and the support of 'Today' of course, but so far - steady going! Hopefully the whole standard edition safely above 100k by February!

So some nerdy stats! Friday to Thursday the tracks grew by 48%, excluding 'Today' it was 37%. On Friday 30th Dec to Thursday 29th Dec the tracks grew by 25%, excluding 'Today' it was 3%. To make the most clear picture we need to compare the next Friday to the next Thursday, but yeah - it very seems like NMF had a very healthy effect on the album overall! And finally, I ranged the tracks by the biggest growth in plays from Friday 06.01 to Thursday 05.01 and got a huge surprise from 'Breathe Me'! And 'Summer' for some reason one of the least effects, despite being one of the earlier tracks. Will be very curious to look at the today's (no pun intended) stats. 1 Drum 11830 114% 2 Breathe Me 3399 107% 3 Today 34179 83% 4 I'm Alright 5568 67% 5 Only You 2160 38% 6 Boys 6808 31% 7 Back to Life 2332 30% 8 I Lay Down 3206 25% 9 Flatline 7012 24% 10 Back in the Day 3280 22% 11 Love Me Hard 6059 21% 12 Victory 3709 21% 13 Metal Heart 3961 18% 14 Beat Is Gone 3674 16% 15 Summer of '99 6686 15% 16 No Regrets 4499 14% And what is even weirder to me is that 'Today' from NMF is from the standard, not deluxe, edition. Nevertheless, the deluxe tracks got a very healthy boost in streams.

Voted I Lay Down and Victory! I think I Lay Down is my favourite from the album, I hope it goes through, but it doesn’t seem likely :(

I’m a negative nanny but I was really expecting 200k+ for Today :lol: But happy for two more 100K+ so soon.
