BREAKTHETENSION

Yeah it’s way too early for Christmas music, I LOVE Kylie, but even I don’t want to listen to her Christmas music yet 😂 The week beginning 24th November is when it will all kick off.

I’m not sure what to think of XMAS yet, it’s very infectious and I feel like kids will love it, so I think they’ve been clever with the choice, but I don’t think it’s one most Kylie fans will love. Christmas Isn’t Christmas Till You Get Here is still the one for me.

Sam Ryder definitely has a video for his, not sure about the others.

Amazing for Lily! With the huge buzz online, I think it will only grow from here.

Great news! Kylie now has a Platinum single in the 80’s, 00’s, 10’s and 20’s. Damn the 90’s!! 😂

Fan bulk buying has always been a thing, I remember buying 4 copies of McFly’s Wonderland album In 2005.😂 It’s not as niche now, but a sale is a sale and it all should be counted. I’m not a Taylor fan, but all artists have many variants now and no one else is debuting with 100K+, never mind 200K, so it’s still a huge achievement for her.

Who’s David by Busted finally certified Silver. Another one of those rare 2000’s #1’s with no certification.

Any update on Zara?

Is Three by Sugababes not also close to 3x platinum?

Bore off Lewis. You’ve released the same song 10 times.

Breakin Dishes for top 10 in 2 weeks then 😂

Shame The Dead Dance isn’t climbing! Probably won’t make top 10 this week.

8,300 downloads for Ed, that’s really high for downloads now is it not?

Beyonce literally had a 5 week #1 hit last year with Texas Hold ‘Em’ 😂

9 top 10 hits for Sabrina since April 2024, what a queen!

The Dead Dance is showing as #9 on Amazon Music for me.

Since OCC don’t count Thursday streams from Spotify, presumably if it’s not fixed by tomorrow the charts will go ahead without?

I kind of hope OCC don’t get the Spotify data this week, would be really interesting to see the final singles and albums chart without it.

Breakin’ Dishes! Song of the summer is coming.

Ah, you’re right! Didn’t think about that 😂

Will Better the Devil You Know be the next pre 94 song to get a silver certification? I think it was on 87,000 sales in 2019 and was averaging 15,000 sales a year, which would put it on 177,000 sales by now, the tour might have increased the average this year, so could be on 180,000 by now. All just a guessing game though.

Great for Ariana! Eternal Sunshine isn’t far off Platinum, so Ariana will have shortly have 6 platinum albums in a row, which is quite a feat.

I don’t have a problem with Greatest Hits, but a lot of the time, people aren’t even listening to these albums, it’s just they’ve streamed a ‘Hits’ playlist for that artists. Look at Madonna, her whole catalog streams were directed to a remix album? No one is actually listening to that remix album, but it’s Madonna’s highest selling album in years.

Tyrant charting on the singles randomly? What’s that all about. Always thought it was the obvious single when I heard Cowboy Carter.

It’s been announced that from September the Australian singles & album charts will focus on music from the last 2 years and compilation albums will be moved out of the main album chart. The UK album chart is currently overrun with Greatest Hits albums and having a rule 2 year rule would finally remove albums which will never leave the UK chart like What’s the Story Morning Glory and Teenage Dream. Please take note OCC! Full Article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-24/aria-charts-changing-singles-albums-top-50-australian-music/105455078 From September, the ARIA Top 50 Singles and Albums charts, as well as the Top 20 Australian Artist Singles and Albums charts, will focus exclusively on music released within the past two years. Under the revisions, perennial hits such as The Killers' unkillable Mr. Brightside, which has spent 157 weeks in the top 50, and Vance Joy's Hottest 100-topping Riptide, a whopping 360 weeks in the Australian top 20, will make room for newer music and move to a new chart called ARIA On Replay. Formerly known as the Catalogue chart, On Replay will also showcase titles that have historically taken up near-permanent residence in the main charts. That includes multiple older Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran records, country stars Luke Combs and Zach Bryan, and classic Fleetwood Mac album Rumours, which has spent 403 weeks in the Top 50 Albums. Greatest hits compilations will also transition away from the main charts: everyone from Eminem (402 weeks) and Elton John (336 weeks) to Maroon 5 (321 weeks), Katy Perry (289 weeks) and The Weeknd (228 weeks).
