Yes good that real singer/songwriters still rule here but now all too familiar with the continued 1 week only stay at the top..Only less than 5 big acts in the world will break this montonous streak eventually and you already know who they are from their impressive chart history.
Piran
Nobody can get it right, can they? :P
They complain about one week stays at the top of the albums chart, but also criticise the singles chart for having #1's that last too long!
Alfred Lock
No longer bothered with the way the charts turned out it's just the album chart that matters now and before the years end that 1 week streak will end..Let's face nothing apart from Lewis Capaldi has came close to The Greatest Showman Soundtracks' mammorh stay at the top the last three years
