I'd still expect 'Someone You Loved' to heading for another week at #1.
It's cool seeing Billie Eilish with multiple songs in the Top 10, as well as 'Boasty' & possibly 'Piece Of Your Heart' also heading for the region! :)

I was thinking Billie Eilish would get the no.1 single as well as album this week, still possible I guess. Loving boasty hopefully hitting top 10 too!

Yeah, songs that are getting most of their points from streaming tend to do better on the Fridays than they do on the Mondays. The only thing that's preventing Billie Eilish from getting the #1 on the singles chart is being slightly behind on sales & only okay airplay, because she's doing really well on both streaming & YouTube. I expect 'Bad Guy' to end up having some longevity though.
Rob Parkinson
I disagree with your statement on sales. Sales for singles are really low, albums on the other hand are on the rise with the added retro formats of vynal and even cassette available these days aswell to counteract the diminishing number of downloads that are purchased.

In the absence of Adele and Ed Sheeran there is really no one that can reach those sales heights of old currently.
