Leigh-Anne - Dead & Gone
Agreed this is her best since My Love. Didn't enjoy her last two songs at all so hopefully this is a step in the right direction for the album.

Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun
Damn that's sad! Though this is probably her only era where she hasn't had a UK hit I believe? Venus might have been nowhere near as good as MS but it had two hits so it makes sense this is doing worse. At least the title track has had a bit of a viral moment over the last month or two

Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun
I am a Pretty Ugly truther. 10/10 song to me. I can see why most people don't like it as it's so in your face but it absolutely slaps. Great album overall and easily her best. Hope it manages top 10 but I don't know how likely that is

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
On the bright side anything not already dispatched will help cushion the deadly fall the album will likely have next week 🙏. (Unless something starts smashing the charts like BYBMH)

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
Got a feeling the label has a few thousand units in waiting to be added to the total. Didn't whoever beat Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia randomly get a 5k+ boost on the last day to seal them the #1? Maybe it was 5 Seconds of Summer or something? I can see this happening again but to get Jade the #2. Well I hope so anyway.

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
Kind of shocked at this only being on 12k considering how front loaded it will likely be. Hoping not everything has been added and it'll hit 20k? I fear for Perrie's numbers later this month if an album this hyped by fans is struggling to hit 20k.

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
Finally!!! Though that release date is a laugh. Maybe they thought she wouldn't get a #1 on a quiet week anyway? It's hard to predict if she could but i thought with such a vocal fanbase that she could push 15-20k units with all these variants?

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
Thank God! I was convinced it was getting shelved. Over a month late but still salvageable.
-
JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
The way all her socials comments are nothing but requests for thr album. I fear she's losing fan goodwill without an announcement.

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
If this album has been scrapped I'm gonna be so annoyed 😭 where tf is the announcement??
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Down to 75 on AM now. The likes of Castle On The Hill and Shape of You by Ed Sheeran are now above it... don't really know if something has prompted their rise or people just rarely listen to new releases. Hopefully it can bounce back a bit after the weekend but it's not looking good. Maybe the album announcement can bring a bit of hype
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Well without Spotify support it was never gonna be a hit. It's re-peaking at 42 on AM currently but that can't carry it. I imagine it would easily be top 40 for 4+ weeks if it had the same support on Spotify but it isn't gonna happen. Think we may have to just deal with the fact she's unlikely to get another hit from the album and hope that the label are happy with a small but strong fanbase. Sounds like the album is definitely coming at least so that's a win.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
42 on Apple! Smash. Those playlists are working it seems Edit: well fluctuating between 42 and 45 for me? Dunno how these charts are working lol
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Top 40 easily secured then. Thank God. Would have probably made top 20 with HHUK though 😩
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
47 on AM! New peak? Hope it continues to rise. I imagine It Girl was falling by now?
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Ouch! I'm thinking it's likely to miss the top 40 if it's fallen 12 spots in 1 day?? This has not been a good launch between the HHUK snub and the video being restricted. Ugh. I think getting rid of the "F**k You For Now" on streaming and just having it titled FUFN would work a bit better also.
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Spotify ruining it again ffs. "The Door" and "Apple" both still being on Hot Hits UK is wild. I'd love to know what their criteria is for adding songs. Being one of the only non-album bomb songs to debut in the top 100 should put you in a pretty good position? It's not like it's an Indie song that pulled 15k streams. I just don't get it. I need Apple Music to end their domination immediately
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Thank God for physicals. This is obviously gonna tumble a few positions every day thanks to Spotify and YouTube but at least it'll be a lock for top 40. Maybe even top 20?
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Looks like 12 Playboi Carti songs above and they seem to be dropping pretty fast. Hope this can crack the top 40 and slowly rise afterwards. Apple Music supremacy 🙌🏻, just wish it had a bigger market share.
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Yeah this is the only time I've noticed a Youtube restriction other than Tove Lo's last EP music videos which had full on nudity in them. Hope her team can fix this because it seems to massively be impacting views.
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Seems like an okay start. Just hoping it can manage the top 40 at least. Should be easy with physicals? Seems like the album release is locked at least unlike Perrie and Leigh. Going into album release with 2 top 40s should be decent. Hope they pick a quiet week where she should easily manage a #1 with decent physical sales.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Just listened to the clean version on AM by accident. Sounds great still but it's literally still titled "FUFN (F*ck You For Now)" but uncensored?? Like what's going on there lol? The title probably should have just stayed as FUFN in general or maybe change the clean one to "Forget You For Now". Feel like her team have messed up with the explicit title of this and it looks like it's affecting Youtube as well.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
The video may not have hit every beat but there's clearly a vision there and it was pretty well made with lots of cool moments. She's one of the few popstars still trying with videos along with the likes of Gaga so I appreciate it! The dancing at the end was great, wish she did more of it. Also a little bit Gaga-esque. I'm still kind of worried over the performance of the song though. It seems like it's doing similar to It Girl so far and that wasn't even a single. Ugh. Can only hope it takes off somehow

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Part of the reason I moved to Apple Music (in addition to the sound quality + Apple deal) is because Spotify's playlisting is absolutely awful and never makes any sense. It's a conspiracy theory I'm interested in. I'm convinced it's not even the label's fault and Spotify themselves considering I've never thought the same about AMs playlists (yet).
-
JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Incredible song. Absolute banger and her best since AOMD. Deserves to be a major success but I can't actually wrap my head around the playlisting. What is going on? She really does have hype behind her and playlisting is the only missing ingredient. We can only hope people love it enough that it catches on despite this. I'll even give it a download if it's on Amazon (I don't have iTunes). Edit: tbf the Apple Music playlisting (which I use) doesn't seem that bad? It's near the top on A-List Pop which is one of the most pushed playlists. Also in the top half of Today's Hits. Spotify 1when I catch you...
