Are new pop artists struggling to break through?
To me, it feels like streaming and the way music is consumed nowadays has a lot to do with how much new pop acts struggle to break through. For instance, I can't picture a pop artist like Pixie Lott having hits in 2019 like she had back in the day. You hardly ever see pop dominating Spotify Top10 like we had on iTunes (especially aroud this time of the year, where XFactor, Xmas and all major pop releases dominated the charts). Also, can't remember any other pop act past 2014 who's made any big impact worldwide like Ariana did.

This is mad. I love the song! Video is boring as hell, but whatever. I have the single on repeat this morning and I've just come to realise how much I've missed his voice.

I'm happy for Fleur! It's rising in a quiet yet acceptable pace so yes, as someone said before, once radios start playing it I can see it being Top20.

I'm drying at Bieber having a third #1 single in less than what? 4 months? Insane.

Boyband singles climbing to their peak
The thing is post-album singles normally peak on their official release week due to having multiple formats and versions. His point was that even with all those formats and versions, both 1D e JLS singles didn't peak on their release week, but in the following weeks (I'm not sure when they peaked, though).

Same title, different songs in the Top 2 / 3 / w/e
Gentleman by The Saturdays at #14 and Psy's Gentleman at #41 on the same week. Far from Top3/2/1, but oh well...

#6 or #7? Quite optimistic. And MASSIVE YAY for KINGMAN.

They are on Daybreak tomorrow. Given their lack of estability, I predict they'll be lucky to debut Top15.

I'm almost 100% sure they've missed it at least once? If This Is Love, Work and My Heart Takes Over are my guesses...

Was 'Home' released this week? I cannot believe it isn't going to at least reach T40...

Surprised at Olly being almost Top5 combined and The Saturdays back in the Top40. Guess they'll hang around the charts a lot longer than I'd imagined.
