'Bad Habits' actually passed 100,000 weekly chart sales? :O

Nice to see 'Stay' debut inside the Top 5, along with all of the football anthems here, despite England not winning last week's final!

Keeping Us Spooked, as it has a haunted vibe, the catchy Halloween Effect "Bad Habits" is still top, we know this ain't Number one for 31st October Week, (Due To ACR) But it's still a hit to include on our playlist!!!

3 Lions is as much about the 'hurt' as about the joy of being an England fan, so perhaps there are just as many (or even more) fans identifying with it after England's narrow loss.

Possibly, although I think it'll take a massive drop next week! :(
