BBC Children in Need single: Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish in on Stop Crying Your Heart Out for Number 1
The Children in Need single's race for Number 1 looks to be going right down to the wire as Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish are forecast to overtake the BBC Radio 2 Allstars, OfficialCharts.com can reveal.
Downloads of Stop Crying Your Heart Out have slowed down, allowing last week's chart-topper, Ariana Grande's Positions, to quickly catch up as the track continues to prove a powerhouse on streaming services.
Billie Eilish's new single Therefore I Am is also in the running for this week's top spot - just 1,200 chart sales separate the Top 3 in today's sales flash (Nov. 17).
Downloads of Stop Crying Your Heart Out would need to accelerate significantly throughout the week if it is to be in with a chance of securing Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. If it does, it would be the first Children in Need single to reach the summit in six years.
If Ariana returns to the top, it would mark Positions’ fourth week at the helm in the UK, however, should Billie Eilish emerge victorious, Therefore I Am would become her second UK Number 1 single following the chart-topping success of her Bond theme No Time To Die back in February of this year.
The cut-off for sales and streams to count towards this week’s Official Singles Chart is midnight, November 19. The final Official Chart Top 40 will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1’s Official Chart with Scott Mills this Friday from 4pm, with the full Official Singles Chart Top 100 published on OfficialCharts.com from 5.45pm.

yeah i mean i can see this in two ways, streaming is so popular, but the
singles are added by streaming points now days which is a different
side to pure units or pure sales e.g physicals/shipment or pure
downloaded or pay added.and by the end of the day, top playlists/homepage
playlist/share playlist from streaming world, can boost charts success
faster and bigger impact than something like indie or alt music or even
charity dont do well on spotify in the top 200 or top 10 list daily. and
remember once you pay the subscription service you basically getting a
big universe of over 30 million free play streaming songs, which i think
you should pay after 5 spins or something,while blinding lights stay glued for over 35 weeks in the top
40 non stop ride. the other hand charity is so important and should be but only certain ones radio will deliver
& promo the most to boost charts sales quicker for public and get to
the news for fast track downloads like never walk alone and children in need than a few weeks time it go down faster than Joey Heatherton and also some people may buy charity songs for charity than the song itself.

Children in need is the charity song

Children in this country who haven't the best start or good life through no fault of their own once you have heard some of the many inspiring but tearjerking stories of their plight. All the millions from Children In Need and thd charity single all go to those inspiring children who fight on in life against the odds. Hope that explains it enough.
