No, we blame Taylor x

Taylor get rekt. Never letting go of this grudge x

There was one group that I voted for every song from (voted for songs from 9/12 groups in all).

Surely it's just the 3 biggest selling formats of any given week that count?

Think I am going to be slightly late but votes are coming, am just under 2/3 of the way through my relisten currently x

Will vote tonight, whether it is before midnight or not depends on if I am able to stay awake when I get home or not ddd

'One Dance' is still higher in the current update (#61).

I think 'Take A Bite' has been getting recurrent plays for a while already.

I kind of thought he was one already tbh...! Hard to keep track of these things on the new site. (Congrats anyhoo x)

I mean I'll be slightly less mad at another Taylor physical drop this week when it's not denying what would have been the best #1 of the year but it'd really be beyond a joke for her to get not one but two extra weeks at the top when the song is nowhere near the most popular of the week just because the label is allowed to strategically distribute sales which were all made before the song even came out across multiple weeks. Guess we'll see what happens though x I really think all pre-order sales should just count to the originally stated release date regardless of when they ship. It's such a flawed system when release dates can be changed on a whim.

It's been #1 on that list for some time! (Only a few days ahead of Wham! though so likely to be overtaken again in December unless it has another 20-odd days at #1 before then).

? A song dropping to ACR from #19 would almost definitely still be out of the top 40 (see 'Human Nature' going 15-45 last week).

I'm sure 'Rein Me In' would be back at #1 this week regardless of having another physical drop or not (unless Taylor has conveniently decided to leave another 30,000 CDs to ship until this week), it's already ahead of 'stupid song' on Spotify even excluding its multiple versions. (Of course this isn't the first time people have kept going on about an entirely superfluous Sam Fender physical drop but hey ho)

I'm well aware of that thanks

Yes. That would also be solved if it would just go away. x

No one is disputing that. It's just boring. As are the 500 posts defending it every week and closely tracking its every move for months on end. Mind I will take 'Rein Me In' being back yet again over Taylor somehow ratfucking her way to a third week while she is so far seemingly not getting a boost at all from the film coming out (it's actually down a place to #30 on Spotify today...)

Well this is some bullshit x

overpass' BJSC entry from earlier in the year being added! Great to see Florence Road and James Blake A-Listed too <3 (when was the last time James was on the A-List? I feel like his last few adds stalled on B/C but not sure) Didn't realise they hadn't playlisted Temper City already, very odd timing to suddenly add it now.

Shame 'maggots for brains' seems to be falling relatively among her album tracks, I think that's probably my 2nd favourite song on the album after 'the cure'. 'stupid song' is great as well though (possibly my 3rd favourite) so more than happy for that to get the #1 instead although in a perfect world that and 'the cure' can both be #1s please x I know it's early in the tracklist but surprised 'honeybee' is holding up so well as I don't think it sounds much like a hit!

Those were the Sunday sales, not Monday!

Paul McCartney has done all of these and as a trio so this isn't even a record in the first place

Olivia's album was on 65.4k yesterday (so pre-orders/first 2 days of sales + 1 day of streams) per OpinionatedYute on Twitter!

I think my earliest memory of anything at all was from when I moved house at age 4 so some time in probably 2001 - definitely needed to have a look through the posts in this thread for inspiration to answer the question and I thought my answer would be something from 2002 as I have no memory of 9/11, but actually I do also remember being aware of the foot & mouth outbreak of 2001 as it tied in with my mum's work! (In terms of single news events rather than that being an ongoing thing for months, it's probably the Queen Mother's death, which I tangentially remember because I was aware it happened the same day my sister broke her arm which is another of my earliest 'personal' memories). I don't think I will ever understand why so many people cared so much about Diana's death to the point it's been mentioned in half the posts in this thread but I was less than 1 year old when that happened so obviously no chance of me being aware of her while she was alive x

I feel like it's a song that'd be awkward to sing along to even without being drunk (it's very wordy and syllable-heavy) so I really don't get it but hey ho

Is there any actual evidence that 'Rein Me In' is suddenly a football song now or are people just guessing it will be? (I can't really picture how it would work as a chant, nevermind the song having nothing at all even remotely to do with football although I know that hasn't stopped 'Sweet Caroline' et al.)
