Official Singles Chart Update on 4/5/2020

What about Blinding Lights without ACR?

Blinding Lights without ACR would be #1. Probably around 2-3K more than Drake

Wow, thank you for the insight!

I quite like that song, I think Physical is the best out her three songs that were in the Top 10, with Break My Heart being my second favourite.

Me too. For me Don't Start Now is the best out of the three, followed by Physical, then Break My Heart. With the first two put to ACR, I thought Break My Heart would climb but these Drake tracks are blocking it from going up!

"Also absolutely buzzing about Blinding Lights being on ACR."

:(

Oh sorry! It’s just that I got tired of it.

Haha, it's alright, you know we're never going to agree on that song's quality anyway! :P

Would that be Drake's sixth number one? Massive drops everywhere

Yeah, looks like it!

Blame ACR for that. :/

Yeah, this ACR thing is weird, if Blinding Lights is 5th with it, surely it would be 1st without it

Regarding your ACR comment, I always find 'Wild Thoughts' reaching #1 is a perfect scenario of why ACR doesn't work, because in the week that it topped the "official" chart, 'Despacito' was leading on both sales & streaming...

He'll be doing the double (single + album) for the third time!

Yeah, just saw the article with his album predicted to go to #1. Worst part is that he's dethroning Dua Lipa there too! :P

I thought you liked Toosie Slide lol. Is it one of them “this aged badly” songs? I’ve got a list of them coming up soon on Headline Planet. And an Ed Sheeran themed Emoji Challenge. :)

No, it's still not a bad song, but I just feel we need a break from Drake being #1, as he's always hogging the top spot whenever he puts out an album! :P

Looking forward to your Emoji Challenge! Let's see if you can make it seven wins on mine, haha.

Yeah I heard negative buzz about DLDT too, and I don’t know why, it’s not bad. But yeah, we need a Drake Break lol.

Noooo Dua needs more weeks at #1, such a fantastic album!

I didn't study the charts in 2017 but that does seem unfair.

Hopefully she can get back there after the Drake hype fades! :P

Yeah, I think it was Ed Sheeran's nine songs in the Top 10 that caused the limit on the number of songs an artist can have in the chart at any one time.

The worst part is that if he waited even one more week to release that album, 'Say So' would probably have been a #1 hit! :/

Wow, I can see why they did it then

Yeah, but that was an exception though. Besides, it highlighted the true popularity of '÷' as an album, whereas I feel the rule can make the charts a bit misleading on how big tracks are from an album nowadays!

At least one more week, or five! Say So deserves to be #1.

Yeah, even if it means 'Say So' waiting until 'Toosie Slide' goes on ACR in order to get to #1! :P

Hey, another bit of disappointing news, 'The Scotts' has just debuted at #1 in America.

What do you mean “disappointing news”? It’s never Travis Scott’s best (, Goosebumps is one of my favourite rap songs ever!) but I’ve played it a few times today and this is coming from a Fortnite hater! I’m posting ranks early too.

Haha, didn't you see my review of it on Friday mate? ;)

Anyway, the article is up now too: https://headlineplanet.com/home/2020/05/04/billboard-hot-100-travis-scott-kid-cudis-the-scotts-becomes-1-song-in-america-megan-thee-stallions-savage-enters-top-5/
