Rain On Me pretty low on Hot Hits UK. I can't stand them 💀. Thought this was a #1 in the bag with good placement.

A snippet of (what I presume is) the final chorus leaked and it sounds great. Proper banger. I hope that the rest of the song can match that energy

I think Gaga and Ari are more likely to get the #1 than the Bieber collab. The pure sales will be big. I imagine and hope it will get a bigger push on HH. It will also have a proper music video and may end up being more of a 'moment'. Not to mention Stuck With U is extremely boring, if it was any good I think it would have got the #1.

Charli #1 on NMF and cover. Bigger push for a quarantine album than her self-titled? 🥴

Seems like Spotify is turning into Apple Music with Pop Music doing worse and worse. Unfortunate. Even Dua probably wouldn't be top 10 without having BMH in Hot Hits twice 😬. Hopefully Gaga and Ari manage to do inject a bit of life into the top 10 for a while if the song is good.

Break Up Song vertical video removed from Hot Hits, this is probably gonna hinder it more than the cover and high placement will help it 🥴

Break Up Song down to #40 but the streams are very close between everything in that region so not as bad as it looks I hope. The streams in the whole chart look weird... the gap from #10-50 is smaller than the gap from #3-5. Shows that only the top 3 are doing really well I guess. Maybe people aren't listening to curated playlists as much right now?

LM up to 35. Finally starting to rise again. I want to see a steady rise to top 20 again in the next week.

Second week for Dua on Hot Hits cover? Interesting. Don't think I've noticed anyone on 2 in a row before.

Jesus Christ Little Mix 😭 I've had enough of this

Little Mix still falling despite having the song on Hot Hits twice (and it getting moved up the past few days). We absolutely hate to see it. I thought this was gonna be a big hit too . Maybe since Capital and Radio 1 are playing it now it's got a chance?

Not bad for LM. Slightly better than Bounce Back (#30) which had better support. Hope it can stay stable and start rising in the next few days.

I mean, between Think About Us, Bounce Back and One I've Been Missing they've had 3 underperformances in a row. Really hoping this is a hit.

Wondering if Dua will get a fourth song in HH when the album comes out? They usually add the album track/next single so maybe Break My Heart is enough. Has anyone had four songs in HH at once before?

Dua now cover of HH with 3 songs in it, Break My Heart at #9. Interesting they updated at 11pm on a Wednesday! Love the support they give her. Looks like she's coming for three top 10s next week.

The rollout of this Rita single is a disaster. Pretty good song too, would easily hit with the usual push. What is her label playing at?

Not as bad as it looks for Dua. Only 50k streams between #15 and #5... streams looking really low too. Is Spotify losing popularity to competitors? Also amazing to see Doja Cat's Boss Bitch rising, even without playlist support, my fave song of the year along with Physical.

Nice to see Physical finally rising on HH. But... Gaga is now on the cover but still #26 ...what's even the point? Maybe they'll move her up tomorrow I guess.

New releases do better on AM coz Hot Hits UK is a mess that doesn't give songs good positions until 2 months after their peak.

Hot Hits UK continues to be out of touch. Gaga not even in the top half... and I thought this was gonna go straight to #1 😬.

This Is Real is a good song but the way it's been getting pushed on Hot Hits is insane. #1 now after nearly 4 months, yet struggling to crack the top 20. This support feels 2 months too late.
