I prefer the Scottish singles chart!!:
AVA MAX and KYLIE in the Top 10 this week!! Love it, love the Scottish single chart!! Furthermore, LADY GAGA remains another week into the Top 20!! that's what i like to see!! And so many singles re-entries from the 80's and 90's: 4 non blondes, sam brown.

Really don't like WOP so not happy seeing it rise to #2...

One thing I'm really interested in seeing next week is what number the new BTS song will get to, it's their first English song and it's doing crazy on itunes. Last time I looked the instrumental was at #3 which is insane!!!

Great to see smile here ā¤ļøā¤ļø Itā€™s sad that Katy is not getting a whole lot of success so far with her new album coming out soon. Smile is certainly her best song since Never Really Over and really reminds me of her Teenage Dream days šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

They say WAP is bad...have they listened to Get Low or any late 90ā€™s or early 2000ā€™s hip hop song? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

On first glance so glad to see Head & Heart at another week at number 1 although WAP certainly gave that song a run for their money haha and Iā€™m glad Midnight Sky & Levitating debuted šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

Hey Jeremy! :)

Sorry about that! I guess I was so busy that I just forgot, haha.

This was the top Reddit comment on the differences between the two forms of rap, which I also thought was a very good way of separating grime & drill...

"Difference tends to be the BPM (for the most part it seems drills catching up) in the beats and also the general theme of it. Grime tracks tend to be fast paced and quite punchy with the sounds where as Drill tends to be a lot slower and relies on more melodies. Hi hats tend to be used more in grime too.

Other than that the flows tend to be completely different with grime having a much faster pattern. Lyrics can be similar but drill tends to be more violent and actually targeted at someone/somewhere where as grime tends to be more in general."

Hey Jstar! :)

Nice to see you on here as usual! How are you?

Basically, there were two trolls on OCC just over a week ago that were spamming us with abusive comments & downvoting literally every post, so we're keeping our accounts private so that they can't see our comments (as blocking only works one way).

Everything is good, just been busy with work and I have enjoyed my last 2 Fridays off doing things haha.

Ok, no problem, I am sorry things got out of hand last week. I wasn't here so I thankfully didn't have to deal with it. I will keep my account open for now as i haven't had to deal with anything like that.

I know Taylor's album though has done fantastic, I know you must be happy with how well it is holding up.

i'd rate you broke me first a lot higher, as well as savage love way lower, and i don't think wap is good enough to receive an 11/10 (that's for when the party's over haha), but i mostly agree! :)

I think it'll be one of those songs that debuts low, but climbs a lot over the coming weeks! :)

3

I'm not annoyed that 'Wap' could be #1 because of the song itself (it's actually not bad!), but I am annoyed that it would probably block 'Lighter' from getting there! :/

I'd rather see WAP though, but both deserve it.

'Head & Heart' >>>>>>>>> 'Wap'.

Opposite for me, an 11 compared to a 7.

Americans don't really deserve #1 spots on the British charts tbh. That being said, Crazy was from an American duo and was a great song so there's that. i personally think we should leave the top 10 for British talent.

avatar

ā‰ļø

1

Yeah no. The chart is supposed to show what's popular in the UK, not from the UK. Like half of the chart wouldn't be here.

avatar

Piran

2

I have to disagree there. Why shouldn't Americans deserve #1 on the British charts? If the music is good enough, I don't care where you're from! :)

This comment reminds me of Mussolini, although he was Italian and not British. But his logic was pretty much the same. Itā€™s called isolationism. And fascism. Ops, but the UK had Brexit, so it is perfectly on point.

What is ACR?

avatar

Piran

0

Accelerated Chart Ratio.

Basically, when a song has been on the charts for at least 10 weeks & has three consecutive weeks of decline in performance, only half of its streams will count towards the chart. I thoroughly disagree with the idea of it! :/

avatar

Rector

0

Head & Heart is on first decline already :(
In fact, every song that isn't already on/ineligible for ACR is on first decline besides the ones I mentioned earlier + Giants, Perfect and For The Night, which are on 0 week decline :S

P

Panda

1

Yeah it seems a little weird that only half the streams would count, thanks for the explanation! :)

avatar

Piran

0

You're welcome! :)

I think the whole idea of it was to rotate older songs out for newer ones, but I think it has more flaws than benefits personally.

avatar

Piran

1

'Head & Heart' can't go on ACR for at least another three weeks though, as it's only been on the chart for seven weeks so far! :)

avatar

Rector

1

Yeah, so if it declines for two more weeks (9th week in chart), it will go on ACR on its 10th week. That is what's happening to Burning!

Then 'Wap' will probably be #1! :P

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (21/08/2020 - 27/08/2020)

šŸ”“ (Negative)

1) ā€˜Lighterā€™ dropped back to #3! Iā€™m getting the sinking feeling that this wonā€™t be going to be top of the charts after all.

2) Jubelā€™s incredible cover of ā€˜Dancing In The Moonlightā€™ misses the Top 10ā€¦ yet again!

3) ā€˜Take You Dancingā€™ took a massive climb, which contains arguably Jason Deruloā€™s worst hook to date! Itā€™s so annoying & creepy. Urgh!

4) ā€˜Fake Friendsā€™ seems to have lost its momentum!

5) ā€˜Rain On Meā€™ took another massive fall this week! :ā€™(

šŸŸ  (Mixed)

1) ā€˜Wapā€™ climbed to the runner-up position to become Cardi Bā€™s highest charting song in the UK to date. Itā€™s grown on me a lot since last week, but not enough to put it in the ā€œpositiveā€ section just yet.

2) Drake unsurprisingly got the highest debut of the week, in the Top 5! In terms of production, this one stands out a lot, but the lyrics & delivery are just okay. I donā€™t know, this is better than most of his recent hits, but I donā€™t know how well itā€™s going to age for me!

3) ā€˜Savage Loveā€™ got hit by ACR harder than initially though this week, probably due to streaming starting to fade anyway.

4) ā€˜Holidayā€™ moved up again! Iā€™m slowly starting to get to this one now, although I hear it more on the radio rather than choosing to stream it myself.

5) ā€˜Only You Freestyleā€™ dropped a fair bit, which is a shame as Iā€™ve been playing that song a lot this past week!

6) ā€˜Breaking Meā€™ fell a few places this week too! I actually like that song way more than most here do, haha.

7) ā€˜Dance Monkeyā€™ didnā€™t return to the Top 40, despite the midweek updates indicating it would.

8) Taylor Swift lost the #1 album, but hey, she had a really good run there, so Iā€™m still glad!

šŸŸ¢ (Positive)

1) ā€˜Head & Heartā€™ stayed at #1 for a fifth week, which it also did on my personal chart! If the BuzzJack numbers are accurate enough, it shouldā€™ve got a 15k combined sales lead this week.

2) While I donā€™t like TikTok at all, at least itā€™s pushing ā€˜Mood Swingsā€™ higher up the chart!

3) ā€˜Looking For Meā€™ was the joint highest climber this week, which could also be Top 10 next week!

4) ā€˜Midnight Skyā€™ debuts in the Top 15! I really love that throwback disco sound for Miley, along with her unusually raw vocals. I hope she continues to make more music like this, because Iā€™m loving this right now!

5) ā€˜You Broke Me Firstā€™ made the Top 40! Thanks to Coolocelot for introducing this to me, haha. Many critics have named Tate McRae the Canadian Billie Eilish & I can definitely see why! This song is really dark & deep, but in a way that carries a lot of emotional weight.

6) While I thought it would be higher, I love the remix of ā€˜Levitatingā€™ making the Top 40! Hopefully it can be a slow burner & that it wonā€™t be forgotten with the success of ā€˜Hallucinateā€™ (glad that oneā€™s moving up though!). I still prefer the original version of this one though, but this is still awesome!

That's it for now! Take care guys. :)

agreed on all the negatives, all the positives (though #1 is more on the šŸŸ  side to me) and some mixed. the bits i agree most on are #2 and #5 on positive. great review! :D

Thanks a lot mate! :)

Yeah, it's a shame that 'Head & Heart' isn't getting much replay factor from you, but at least you're still giving it a fairly high score.

True, her highest charting solo hit to date is 'Bodak Yellow' (which peaked at #24), although most female rappers generally tend to collaborate with others more than anyone else.

WAP is awful. I can't understand anything (which is probably for the best ;)) I didn't realise it was controversial until I saw my mum watching about it on fricking Loose Women :/ Also Take You Dancing is hella addicting but really bad so I'm doing a Savage Noise and avoiding it. Drake's LNCL and GREECE is growing, but Drake's verse in GREECE is awful. It's his worst rap, and his rap is already bad. Life Is Good puts him to shame compared to Future.

Same, last week it went on ACR and so went above Rain On Me in the non-ACR chart! Such a banger!

I remember hearing from I think helloyassine on YouTube when he reviewed the 2020 XXL freshman class that most female rappers need to do explicit things to become big. Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat are probably the Biggest Female rappers right now and they all do that.

Lol, sometimes it's great to see someone say what you're thinking - WAP is possibly the worse hit of the year for me; it's just growly noise!
I'm slightly ashamed about liking Take You Dancing!
Greece is indeed growing a bit but still a bit crappy and I wish he wouldn't go on so at the beginning of all his records. DJ Khaled, I hate to break it to you but you are NOT the best music. And I'm really not excited at all that there's YET 'another one'.

I adore 'Mood'! With that being one position below the Top 10 & the debut for 'Tick Tock', 24kGoldn had an amazing week. :)

avatar

new acc - disqus.com/afrog69

What I find cool is that Mood entered at #18 in my chart a month and a bit back and a few weeks ago climbed back up and now this. I'm especially happy cos he's jumped onto a Brit EDM song. I'm also liking Mabel more with 'Boyfriend' one of the best female pop songs of the year, 'West Ten' and her EDM team-ups!

avatar

Piran

Yeah, I've loved everything 24kGoldn has put out so far! I'm hoping 'Mood' will be in the Top 5 next week & that 'Tick Tock' will also climb (both 9/10's for me!). :)

COOLOCELOTā€™S CHART REVIEW

hey pals and gals, itā€™s coolocelot101. tonight iā€™m gonna give you a review, but before we get into the new entries, iā€™ll observe the moves around the top 40.

as you can see, ā€œhead & heartā€ is number 1 for a fifth week, with 68k overall units - i still like it, but itā€™s falling on streams for me and i hope ā€œlighterā€ can get to number 1 asap. ā€œwapā€ is one joel corryā€™s tail, while acr strikes ā€œsavage loveā€ but i hate that song with a pure passion so iā€™m buzzing itā€™s dropping. ā€œlooking for meā€ swerves into the top 20, and i donā€™t mind that little move because itā€™s a decent dance song! also, "dance monkey" may be gone for good as it's dropped to number 42. ah well, letā€™s get into the top 40 entries.

DRAKE FT LIL DURK - LAUGH NOW CRY LATER (#4)
drake has been dominating the charts for years now, so it was no surprise that he scored the top debut lol. as for this, yeah itā€™s decent enough! i must say, i really like this beat with the blaring trumpets and booming bass over a clean trap beat, and iā€™ll always love drakeā€™s crooning. if thereā€™s anything to let this down for me, itā€™s lil durkā€™s delivery, he impressed me on ā€œ3 headed goatā€ but in this one heā€™s wailing a little. other than that, itā€™s another good song from drake! iā€™m gonna give this a light 7/10.

MILEY CYRUS - MIDNIGHT SKY (#15)
there was no way i wasnā€™t gonna cover this as miley has scored a lot of hits in the past few years! now we get to the song... oh, i love that echoing guitar line so much and the thumping beat comes in and already makes this an awesome indie-pop song! mileyā€™s delivery is really anthemic in this track, and i really like that, especially when she belts out in that hook. not to mention the lyrics where she doesnā€™t need love and feels good on her own. overall, this is a song i could see myself having on repeat, and i hope it can get to number 1 someday. decent 8/10, good job miley!

TATE MCRAE - YOU BROKE ME FIRST (#34)
i found out about this song when it was lurking in the amazon music charts and on spotify playlists, and iā€™m absolutely buzzing that this hit the top 40, because iā€™ve really loved this one for a while now! i honestly think the downbeat, dramatic production suits a sad song like this. tateā€™s vocals may have had to grow on me, but i love the emotion she puts in this one! and then thereā€™s the lyrics about tateā€™s past lover saying how bad it hurts that she left him, but he doesnā€™t feel as much pain as she does. look, as someone who battles loneliness, depression and sometimes suicidal thoughts on a regular basis, i could relate to this song a lot. so yeah, good job for giving tate mcrae a breakthrough hit, especially when the song is this good! strong 9/10.

DUA LIPA FT MADONNA & MISSY ELLIOTT - LEVITATING (REMIX) (#39)
i didnā€™t care for duaā€™s second album at all. iā€™m blessed that the better tracks from it (donā€™t start now, hallucinate and this) are singles. before i get into the remix, i have to talk about the original first: a funky disco song with lyrics about a love that feels like floating through space (strong 7/10 for that one). and i think the remix is even better! there was a change of production in this remix, but this one is more suited for clubs with the deep yet groovy keys and i like it even more than the originalā€™s. so they added madonna and missy elliott to this and while i do think madonna does a fine enough job, missyā€™s rap in the middle really sealed the deal for me! 2020ā€™s music scene has had some remixes to its name (say so, savage and donā€™t rush to name a few) but this one is just like those ones - a pleasure. light 8/10!

on the albums chart, biffy clyro score their 3rd number 1 album with ā€œa celebration of endingsā€! it debuted at number 1 with 26k chart sales.

the rest of the top 5 is: ā€œfolkloreā€ by taylor swift (1-2), ā€œopen your headā€ by sea girls (new at 3) ā€œshoot for the stars, aim for the moon by pop smokeā€ (non-mover at 4) legends never die by juice wrld (non-mover at 5)

looking ahead to next week, expect songs by the likes of clean bandit ft mabel & 24kgoldn, headie one ft aj tracey & stormzy, mariah carey ft lauryn hill, aitch, bts and maybe even more.

thatā€™s it i believe and wow! you know it was a very good week for the charts when drake got the worst of the week (even if the song is still good). i enjoyed putting this review together, and i hope you enjoyed reading. have a good weekend! :)
P.S. my top 25 favourite songs of the week will come later tonight.
