since i haven’t heard from you in a while, just gotta break some news:

there’s a discord server containing like 16 of us (almost 17!) and we usually use this to talk about music and sometimes other topics. not sure if you wanna join or not? don’t have to.

Kylie' s new fabulous single Magic only debuting at 75 and she was at 7 on sales. New music for many artists keep lost at the bottom of the chart while same old songs week after week are still charting into the top 40. Sick of this

The saddest Part is that Kylie wouldnt even be top 100 without ACR. I think only the non-ACR singles in the top 75 stand a chance, for example 5AM (mid-40s) is late 70s in the non-ACR chart :(

Hello :D
Hope everyone is safe.

For me is curious how long is taking to Tic Toc to get into the top 10. Probably this means long run in the chart
Head & Heart is finishing her carreer in the chart, but is gaining popularity in US & Latin America.
Jerusalema is climbing, will be in the top 40 in the next week ?

Great Weekend for you all !

I think the charts are broken if a hit from the seventies (Dreams) can re-enter the charts for apparently no reason. Is it because Fleetwood Mac has a compilation in the album charts? That seems silly.

And Mr. Brightside has 245 weeks on the hot 100? The Killers are one of my favourite bands and it's almost insulting to see that chart when they are releasing *awesome* new tunes. It should be My Own Soul's Warning it the top 10, not a song from their first album that refuses to go away.

Personally I think the charts should mostly be about new music. Of course, there are valid reasons for songs to chart again but with all the great music out there being made today it seems such a shame that ancient hits, however good they are, take the place of current music. So many songs out there I can think of that deserve to chart more!

Damián

totally agree

as far as i remember, dreams started picking up on tiktok. if the song did re-entered because of a compilation then that seems weird to me.

oh yeah, mr brightside won’t go lol. i actually thought my own soul’s warning would make the charts but unfortunately sales and streams weren’t there for the song.

the charts should be full of new music, you’re right, but one exception is i wouldn’t really mind at all if an older song re-enters because the artist behind the song died or something, it’s a good tribute.

long story short, i agree with all your points. :)

I might be the only one who thinks this but Dua lipa latest album have been playing dust. I don't even remember the last time I heard it but her debut? It stays on repeat. I will say that it could have been better if it had any replay value outside off Levitating and Pretty Please.

Rector

I actually love most of the songs on it, my least favourites are Pretty Please and Future Nostalgia :P

i didn’t really care for it either. only don’t start now, levitating and hallucinate are the songs i’m coming back to. the rest is just filler.

I have to agree with you there. It just doesn’t to her debut for me. Besides a few gems,it aged badly,

Im not a big Dua fan. I only like Levitating (especially the DaBaby remix) and Hallucinate and Break My Heart a bit. I used to like Physical a bit too but that's it

I’m the same way. Physical will always be my favorite song she released. Levitating, Hallucinate, Pretty Please and Cool are the only songs I go back too.

I am just worried that "Hallucinate" has had its success ruined by "Levitating" Remix by The Blessed Madonna and the DaBaby Remix of this song with a music video. I just hope that Hallucinate's success isn't ruined.

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (02/10/2020 - 09/10/2020)

🔴 (Negative)

1) ‘Take You Dancing’ just won’t leave! The more I hear the hook on the radio, the more I get creeped out by it. At least it finally fell!

2) ‘Head & Heart’ is out of the Top 10! I’m happy that this song got six weeks at the top, but it doesn’t deserve to fall this fast. I feel so warm inside every time I hear it!

3) ‘Lighter’ completely crashed following being struck by ACR! I’d have loved to see this go all the way, but now I can only hope that it stabilises & gets a decent placing in the yearly chart!

4) As if ACR didn’t p!$$ me off enough already, it also took out both ‘Cardigan’ & ‘Exile’ almost entirely! I’m so sad that Taylor Swift dropped back a lot this week, but at least ‘Folklore’ itself is sticking around on the albums chart & both of these hits got widespread critical acclaim.

5) Oh yeah, sadly, ‘Daisy’ is here! Not only does Ashnikko sound incredibly offbeat, but her “singing” becomes more screeching on the hook. Ultimately, it’s just too annoying to revisit & without Radio 1’s overplayment of this, I don’t see how it would've made it here! I’d skip it.

6) Sadly, it looks like ‘Rain On Me’ is leaving next week! Oh well, I’m just happy that Lady Gaga is still getting hits over 10 years after her most successful era.

7) 'Hallucinate' is out of the Top 40, meaning Dua Lipa doesn't have any songs in the region now!

🟠 (Mixed)

1) ‘Tick Tock’ didn’t make the Top 10 this week, but it’s here because I think it’ll enter next week! I really like all three artists here, so this was always bound to work, especially when I’ve been anticipating a Clean Bandit comeback for so long.

2) ‘What You Know Bout Love’ is really starting to become massive everywhere now! I don’t have the same connection to Pop Smoke’s music that most other regulars here do, but I have heard the album & I can definitely see why this is the next single.

3) I only know Dutchavelli ironically from ‘I Dunno’, but man, he sounds fired up here! The production is menacing enough to give him some real punch, although I’m not sure on the mix at points. Overall though, I think this certainly has potential to become bigger, which I actually wouldn’t mind! ‘808’ might’ve been the bigger debut today, but this one is going to stand out for me personally.

4) I’m really not sure how I feel about ‘Franchise’ right now! On one hand, the beat hits really hard & Travis Scott actually sounds in full control of his own song for the first time since probably ‘Sicko Mode’, but Young Thug’s vocals are so grating here & MIA’s vocals are pushed so far back. It honestly completely ruins what could’ve been a mostly enjoyable trap hit!

5) ‘Miss Me’ seems to have a more chilled vibe from MoStack & AJ Tracey than I would’ve expected! I prefer them as MC where they’re dropping hard-hitting bangers, but this has a somewhat summery vibe to it & at least the two of them have decent chemistry, so yeah, I’ll take it.

6) That new Everton song might’ve been nowhere close to the Top 40 overall, but it was the best-selling song of the week. Being a Liverpool supporter, I think you all know my thoughts on that already! At least we’re above them in the Premier League table now, haha.

🟢 (Positive)

1) ‘Mood’ stays at #1 with an even bigger lead than last week! Honestly, I wouldn’t even mind if this gets another month at the top. It’s definitely the catchiest trap song of 2020 so far!

2) ‘Lemonade’s continued ascent on Spotify puts it in the Top 5 overall! I genuinely never expected it to be in this section, but that just reflects how much it grew on me, especially that hook, haha.

3) ‘Midnight Sky’ is back! It’s the most listened to song on the radio right now & I’m so glad that the British public are keeping it this high up too. Those vocals are just incredible!

4) ‘You Broke Me First’ is also finally in the Top 10! I totally agree with the Billie Eilish comparisons, which I mean as a massive compliment. I really hope Tate McRae can get more hits if they sound anything like this!

5) ‘Lasting Lover’ might not have gained in streaming, but it does significantly in both sales & airplay! I never would’ve expected James Arthur to be the right fit for an EDM banger, but his raw vocals really suit Sigala’s bouncy production here.

6) Okay, I was excited to see that ‘My Ex’s Best Friend’ was making the chart on Monday’s update, but then I just heard ‘Forget Me Too’ on the chart show & man, I’m so happy that MGK transitioned from rap to punk! This sound definitely suits his more aggressive delivery & Halsey sounds incredible alongside him on the latter; certainly more than Blackbear’s verse on the former. Overall though, these two songs have actually convinced me to check out the entirety of his new album, they’re that impressive!

7) IDLES score a massive #1 debut on the albums chart, outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined! Their numbers were impressive, but I can’t really speak on their music itself, as I haven’t heard enough of their songs to comment there. Why are they in the positive section then? Because a Bristol act have the #1 album of the week! That’s where I’m currently living, haha.

Thanks for reading everyone! Have a nice weekend. :)

Booooooo. Didn't deserve to be No.1. That song . Who ever streamed this a lot should be ashamed. I would rather not listen to rappers in UK and US can't stand them and their music, no caps whatsoever.

I just hope that Dua Lipa's "Levitating" DaBaby Remix music video did not ruin the "Hallucinate" success.

Taylor's chart performance in the UK seems to be getting worse with each era. Lover still hasn't gone platinum here and Cardigan didn't even stick around for 10 weeks. For comparision Reputation sold the same amount Lover sold in 13 months in 3, and Me! stuck around for 15 weeks despite ACR and the 3 song rule.

She's not having as much longevity with singles unfortunately, but her album is certainly doing fine! All of her albums since 'Red' just got one week at #1, but 'Folklore' got three despite really close competition.

Honestly, I don't think Taylor even cares about chart success anymore, as she's more interested in making the music makes her & her fans happy, which she's definitely done here. Plus, this is a very well acclaimed album & it didn't have any pre-released singles to give this any real hype, so for a surprise release, it's done okay! ;)

Okay, that comment about 'Mood' was just unnecessary! You don't have to like the song, but people should never be ashamed to listening to the music that they like. :/

Or as I have now renamed the charts as The Billboard UK charts as Rap,Grime and Dance dominate most of it.R.I.P. ROCK AND INDIE right now.☹

And sadly as expected Royal Blood once again lose to streaming and miss out on their first Top 40 hit with the ironically titled TROUBLE COMING. Oh how different it would have been 10 years ago. Quiet frankly them and all Rock and Indie acts should have nothing to do with Radio 1 anymore and their frankly anti Rock/ Indie attitude. All the DJs on there can go and get stuffed with their Rap,Grime and Dance obsessions .

Radio doesn't affect the UK charts though...?

it’s just been a really stressful day. the crowdedness really overwhelmed me and my “friends” just kept blanking me! oh, not to mention i have no more trust or respect for the staff after all the shade they’ve been throwing at me this week, FOR NO REASON. >:(

Crowds are overwhelming for me too & with your friends, it's probably just nothing personal!

Remember that everyone in your region is particularly stressed with the lockdown restrictions & as someone who works in education, it can be a real challenge for both the students & the teachers at times. so they probably just take it out on others without really thinking.

When you say "all the shade they've been throwing", can you give me an example?
