Big rises for Talk About, Drive, If You Really Love Me and Excuses are great to see, as well as Remember and Black Magic holding on in the Top 5! I'm not a massive fan of Joel Corry's latest release, and I find it the worst of his releases so far.

Love Tonight has also gained a few places, but I feel it should be credited as the David Guetta Remix as this is version charting in Spotify's Top 100 and the one that is getting playlisted the most.

“Talk About” future number 1?

I can see it getting within the Top 3, especially if Bad Habits goes on ACR, but there's too much competition from other songs at the moment for it to reach that high IMO, which is a shame as its one of my favourite songs at the moment

Did believer return just because of that Samsung ad?

Probably, shame as current single 'wrecked' is a phenomenal track.

Big ACR clearout this week! Great to see If you really love me (how will I know) and Drive on track to enter, hopefully they can both hold on.

Lots of big climbers this week.

I'm most impressed about If You Really Love Me and Drive both in the Top 40.

It absolutely that 'Heartbreak Anthem' & 'By Your Side' are both among the ACR clearout though! :(

Heartbreak Anthem could have dropped worser than that but thank god it didn't. Maybe it could go back on the Top 20 next week but I wouldn't hold my breath for that.

Heartbreak Anthem is a fighter so it could go back on the Top 20 next week.

They don't need to use ACR anymore. I don't find it useful anymore. I always get annoyed about it ruining chart performance. If I owned this company I would remove ACR and SCR. There is no point of using it. It is not an accurate ratio because it doesn't really have an accurrate number of streams. They will think that the songs will stick around for a long time. Billboard charts don't even do that. Why can't the UK charts be better. ACR and SCR are not a correct representation of the charts even the 3-track rule, they should scrap that as well and give us them album bombs back. I think UK charts are not that good anymore. If they removed ACR, SCR and the 3-track rule then I would like the charts better.

Don't worry, the Heartbreak Anthem song may come back on the Top 20 if everyone (not literally everyone) streams it everyday.

It looks like 'Save Your Tears' is finally on ACR after all these weeks! :P

'Talk About' & 'Industry Baby' entered the Top 10 as expected, but I really didn't expect 'Fly Away' to get this far! :O

Who is listening to Fly Away to get it this high?
