N-S

When was the last time that the biggest selling song of the year charted in the second half of said year?

Don't Look Back In Anger will always be my favorite Oasis song.

Just when you think he's heading towards the khia (or khio?) asylum, Justin Bieber does yet another heel turn.

Why?

When will Beautiful Things strike ACR?

He had singles peaking in every position in the top 10 except #7. Now with Blessings's new peak, he's still yet to have that #7 hit to complete.

Show Me Love falling four places in the last four weeks: 28-32-36-40

With this being so fleeting in the chart unlike AW's other two hits, it's safe to say you're far from being the only one.

That Fred Again tune is annoying.

Benson Boone has released a bucketload of songs ever since, but f-ing Beautiful Things is still his highest song in the chart.

I can't believe that instead of two songs that'd be amazing top 40 entries have missed,f-ing That's So True returned. People just hate fresh music. (And the US charts are even worse.)

We've lost JADE and Katseye, didn't we?

Jazzy, Chrystal and Clementine Douglas have pretty much picked up the torch from Becky Hill, Ella Henderson and RAYE as the top dance tune chanteuses.

Wow, I never thought that Twenty One Pilots would have such chart longevity nine years after their breakout.

- How many precious stones do you want to put in your daughter's name? Chrystal parents: Yes!

Why is Sparks charting?

Ravyn is American.

I much prefer Hairdresser.

I love that Chrystal's three middle names are all precious stones: Jade Ruby Opal.
