Official Singles Chart on 21/2/2020

I'm also wondering the same about Perfect

I totally agree!

Absolutely, if you check out the oldest Bond;s themes , this has no chance. Tina Turner's Golden Eye is perfect!

Wow!! What an achievement for Billie!

Yeah, I definitely think she's going to have big future ahead of her! :D

You know what, Maren Morris is underrated in general, so if you like this, it might be worth checking out even more of her music! :D

She is indeed underrated! Did you check out the Highwomen? they released their debut album last September..you may not like country music but i love it..she is a part of the band with the amazing Brandi Carlile..Unfortunately country music isn't big in UK..

I haven't actually, but the name certainly rings a bell! :)

I do love country a lot actually! Yeah, it's a real shame that the genre has died down a lot in the UK over the years. I mean; Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, Dan + Shay & Florida Georgia Line have all charted in the UK Top 40 recently, but not with traditional country songs unfortunately (as they collaborated with artists from other genres).

Really, The Shires are the biggest British country act at the moment as far as I'm aware & even then, they're only really getting albums success, when they should be doing the same on the singles chart too!

Speaking of Brandi Carlile, did you know that she's been nominated for 11 Grammys & has won five of them? :D

I do agree with you...I have listened to The shires but to be honest i prefer the US singers...I have been a fan of Reba McEntire for quite a while..and of course our Dolly....I like Trisha Yearwood too but just her early releases...READ MY MIND by REba is a must for any country music fan...love it...

Woah... now those are some cool throwbacks! :D

For me, some of my favourite women in country are LeAnn Rimes & Shania Twain! As for right now, among all country acts, Thomas Rhett & Luke Combs are currently standing out to me a lot.

You might've noticed I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan (I know you're not, it's fine), but for as much as I adore her pop music, I'm going to remember her country songs a lot more!

OMG, how could i forget Shania Twain..dah... COME ON OVER. that is a classic album..pop with country...THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH...one of my favourite single of all time..i mean her album doesn't have a single weak track!! and of course, YOU ARE STILL THE ONE....Love the 90's!..i have noticed indeed that you like TAYLOR SWIFT...i love FEARLESS and her 1st but less known album TAYLOR SWIFT but i so much like her as a country singer.. most people won't agree with me and i do respect that...

i didn't know that..thanks for the info...speaking with women with a VOICE...My favourite female singer of all time is CYNDI LAUPER..you might be too young to know her... but she is an amazing singer...A NIGHT TO REMEMBER is just a faultless album...HEADING WEST: a pop song at its best...slow but so moving...her 2008 album BRING YA TO THE BRINK was a change of musical direction for her but Gosh, it worked so well...

Yeah, being only 21, Cyndi Lauper was definitely a bit before my time, but I'm very familiar with the name itself! :)

I'll try to check out some of those songs you recommended to me though.

Oh yeah, all classics! :)

Haha, that's right! Awesome, since 'Fearless' is my favourite Taylor Swift album too (making it inevitably my favourite album of all-time too!). :D

I think a lot of earlier fans like myself prefer her country music to her pop music actually! At least the latter is still good & that it gave her huge mainstream success over the past decade.

Even her new album has a country track on it called 'Soon You'll Get Better' with The Dixie Chicks!

It's a very emotional one, as it was written about her mother's recent cancer diagnosis. :(

Yep, agree on that! Thanks to Kylie"s pop country influenced last album, the genre got a little bit more popular in the UK, but that was 2 yrs now

No matter about age, Cyndi's a classic artist every1 should now. I'm 46 and I listen, though not my favorite, to Billie...😂😂

Hey Piran!
Glad that Billie was the new #1!
I'm 50/50 on the debuts, I like "No Time To Die" and "To Die For", but I found "Wine" meh and "Forever" is bad.
And I agree "Changes" is Bieber's worst album.

Hey Sergej! :)

Yeah, two of the debuts were really awesome for me, but the other two were just alright! I'm glad we're in agreement on the #1 though.

By the way, my new chart is up now: https://crownnote.com/charts/piran-delves/pirans-top-50-1

Still waiting for The Less I Know The Better to make it to the chart though. It's been climbing slowly on the Spotify charts for years, but it still hasn't made it to this one.

Shame it's such a dour, boring song... Just further proof of how 'streaming' is corrupting the Charts - as 'sheeple' listen to the 'Latest'/'New' material from this weeks/months/years 'hottest' stars, only to discover it's absolute rubbish but by then it's too late because the Charts count it as if it were a sale!

Firstly, it's just an opinion! Fair enough if you don't like it, but you can't blame the British public for thinking otherwise.

As for the streaming argument, that's not really valid here, since it was #1 on the sales chart too!
