"My head and my heart" deserves top 10! I really like the ATC sample :)

Agreed! Great use of the sample, wow.
Much preferred to its partial namesake song that was a number one hit.

Anybody else happy to see this talentless mumble rap and ‘driller’ music slowly starting to filter out and music with some melody and character fill up the chart again? 😁

DERMOT KENNEDY getting a 9th consecutive week in the Top 10: yippee!! PARADISE is such a great track and should have easily made it to the Top 3!!

He has even got to the bubbling under top 25 in the USA for the first time 🥳🥳

Still got EDM songs doing the bits right now! Sad to see Paradise and Get out my head are probably going on acr now but they’ve both had such a good run and held up after the Christmas takeover so well!

Drivers licence is a tune but it’s time for a change now I think :/

All the stuff on here about how bad today's music is now that rap, electronic dance music , r&b and pop dominate is just today's version of people in the 50s moaning about rock n roll or those rock n rollers moaning about the late 60s artists. Every generation does it but seriously just face it things change and music now is completely different to how it was 20 years ago.

Does anyone know why a 6 year old song by Ryn Weaver is at #50? I'm in the US -- was it featured on a TV program or something maybe?

avatar

Shockingly, it’s from TikTok. :O

No way... :)

if you have to ask, it's probably from tiktok :P

Ah, thanks, should've guessed. It's interesting what catches on.

Yeah, I hope it can go further to be honest. :)

every song gets popular from tiktok nowadays... :P

most of them are likely to be one hit wonders anyway. 🙃

A couple of EDM thoughts from me this week... BED is absolutely one of my favourite songs at the moment and I'm hoping it climbs higher in the charts next week. It also looks like Your Love (9PM) is edging towards the top 10 - while I'm happy to see another succeds from Topic and A7S, this song hasn't managed to grow on me as much as their previous efforts.

Way down at #98 is another of my favourite songs at the moment, You've Done Enough - I can't see this being in the charts this time next week but only time will tell. Also, and I do love the song, but I'm curious as to why Afterglow has re-entered the charts?

avatar

thanks for noting you’ve done enough - that song is a BANGER!! definitely one of my favourite dance anthems of the year so far, has been since i heard it on radio 1 two weeks ago before the chart started. :)

Piran

Oh yeah, I saw that finally debuted, which is amazing news! :D

I was waiting a while for it to be released since Gorgon City had been playing it for months, definitely feels like the sort of song that would make it big given the opportunity

avatar

⁉️

3

This is random, but am I the only one who thinks that instead of the amount of streams counting towards the chart, it should be the amount of time streamed?

avatar

Piran

4

I think a stream should only count if you listen to the song in its entirety personally. :)

avatar

⁉️

3

I don’t really think it should, but the time required should definitely go up. :)

avatar

Piran

2

Isn't it only 30 seconds currently? 🤔

avatar

⁉️

3

Yeah, apart from on YouTube, where you only have to click the video.

avatar

Piran

1

YouTube's streaming rate is much lower, but I think the same rules should apply there too. :/

avatar

Rob Parkinson

2

Is that not the case Piran? It certainly should be!

avatar

Piran

I think you only need to listen to it for 30 seconds for it to register as a "stream"! :O

Should have been Rag’N’Bone Man at number 1 with the brilliant All You Ever Wanted like on the sales chart, MUCH better chart on there and is better than half the on this one.
ACR is also such a stupid rule.

good song! at least it hit the top 40, which is what i wanted in the first place.

Piran

Please stop downvoting this guy! He's not one of the trolls. :/

avatar

🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜

yeah, he’s not a troll. doesn’t sound like the guy who runs these accounts.

avatar

Piran

Also, his account's been up since last August. :)

avatar

He was kind of annoying me on the 0001 chart, but okay...

avatar

Piran

Yeah, best stay out of this then! We don't need any more drama, haha. :)

Who, me? Nah, not a troll. Just a long time chart fan that gives his opinion on the music same as everyone else, and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks about it either, especially if a few certain songs are absolute which the majority is in this day and age.
So I don’t really give a toss about downvoting or any of that sh*te.
I’m not this Frank guy that keeps responding either. I don’t usually comment on this page much so I don’t really know very many users on here, and I don’t use discord so.
Sorry un just didn’t agree with the review is all. Opinions can actually be wrong in general but with music it’s subjective and you do like what you like.
Also thank you Piran :) and Cooleclot guy 👍
I just get really frustrated with this chart sometimes and its layout as well so I can sound particularly grouchy on here at times haha :p

Yes I love it :)

avatar

Piran

Yeah, although the trolls that are on here should be very obvious at this point, but yeah, whether or not I agree or disagree with your opinion, then I'm always going to respect it no matter what. :)

Good point actually! Sometimes the archived charts can be really hard to access. Just block anybody who's annoying you at all!

Totally agree with you.

Thank you! :) yes well I can see this idiot with the Boris Johnson profile but to be honest I have no clue what he’s going on about or what is even happening 😂
Same here 👍 there’s no point in arguing about the music someone likes, you’re never going to change their opinion on it so :) although you can give your own :p I’m too old for all of that nonsense 😂
Also just the way the chart is compiled now I think is just rubbish but hey

Yep, at least it could match a top 40

its probably one of my fav R&B songs of all time now

I know right. :(

Top 15 song of 2020 at least.

yeah it feels like it hasn’t been around for long enough... then there’s without you, get out my head and paradise, which have lingered forever now. :I

Almost the whole Top 10 is getting so annoying, might end up with an 8% next week. :)

avatar

this is why i like acr...

Same, it better hurry up and happen though. >:(

I also don’t get how people complain about stale charts, and then say they hate ACR. 🤔

No change to the records in the top 10, just a slight change to order. In fact, the same top 18 in this week's as last week!

Good to see Your Love moving closer to the Top 10.

I have the unfortunate feeling that Streets and Save Your Tears are both going to miss out.

We desperately need a new Number 1 soon. Eight weeks!

Have your guys heard of Let me down slowly by Alec Benjamin? I think he should be in the top 100.

Heat Waves should also be higher, in my opinion. Plus, the Wellerman Sea Shanty, if you click listen is a different version of the song.
