Great news. I guess it's pretty obvious that after introducing a Friday release date, the UK chart will change the tracking period as well. Just like in many other territories it will most likely become Friday-Thursday frame.

Finally a decent Top 3 with a great number 1! The quality of the majority of other tracks in the Top 100 is very dubious though. Besides, there are way too many oldies :( And who on earth is buying Dolly Parton's cringe worthy country album? :o

but in Spain it's been charting for over 4 months. Response to the topic's question: to get a sure-fire high peak.

what a terrible number one! the whole chart is mainly of poor quality unfortunately with too many old, overplayed or simply bad songs. the only advantage of streaming slowing things down this time around would be: - no Top 5 for the childish Boom Clap - no Top 10 for the painfully average Louder - no Top 15 for the overrated Jungle - no Top 40 for the cringeworthy Cher Lloyd

I'm obviously speaking for myself AND all the people who share my opinion. That Leah McFall track is such a non-event. I hope it doesn't become a hit.

For general popularity we have year-to-date chart, don't we? Your interpretation of my opinions will not stop me from posting them.

which is great, the last thing we need is to have long-runners at the top, especially when they're already at #1 everywhere else!

Hopefully #1.

#13. Dreadful song.

Even though I'm not a fan of this "Rude" song, I'd still rather see it topping the chart next week over this criminally bad effort committed by Cheryl Cole and frankly I think she has now little chances of holding her initial lead.

Nothing exciting to look up to this week. The singles chart is shaping up its worst Top 5 in a long time sadly. What is this Jungle band at #3? I have a feeling we see lots of "jungles" recently with Neon Jungle, X Ambassadors' Jungle track and Wankelmut/Emma Louise's My Head Is A Jungle all coming up very soon. :D

3-4 no matter how much I like it.

OK so if there's an unreleased album and you pre-order it, you automatically get that one song that was made available as an instant grat? What if there are several instant grat's available? Would you get them all when pre-ordering the album? In this case, it's absolutely normal that these songs are excluded from the singles chart. If, on the other hand, only the (instant grat) song is bought individually, I think it's fair enough to include it in the chart just like all the other album tracks. The difference between a single and an album track is getting thiner and thiner in digital era. I'd go even further and claim it got irrelevant these days.

Well, in this case I'm rather neutral towards them. There are tones of singles that don't get any promotion, have no video or remixes as well.

So what is the difference between them and regular singles?

I'm not sure I genuinely understand their essence. Are they new songs that one only gets by pre-ordering the whole (yet unreleased) album? In this case I dislike them.

That song is painfully bad :o And I used to adore some of her older material... :( I say #4 but would like it to only just scrape a Top 20 to teach her a lesson that this is not the right direction.

I'm still not in love with this SecondCity song, nonetheless I'm thrilled that house music is still ruling after those monstrosities from Rita Ora or Calvin Harris.

7 weeks in Germany in Autumn. Even before that it had charted in his native France. That Sam Smith tune might not be as bad as I make it but it's so sleep inducing :(

It feels so weird to hear a year-old track as a new entry in the Top 3 :lol: I'm still loving it though and well deserved debut for him! :)

SecondCity sounds like a nice guy. Waves :wub: absolutely amazing!!

Great to see Paolo's fabulous album back in the Top 3 :wub: Regarding Fuse ODG, of course I don't like his track (actually any of his hits) but am surprised "Dangerous Love" has a music video. I've never seen it before! Rita Ora should fall faster with this stupid song :angry:

This Ellie Goulding tune is very disappointing. Paloma's one is unbelievably good though!! :)

This is horrific! How can so simple and generic songs be so appreciated? Yuck!
