🔴 (negative)
1. kings & queens is a re-entry.
2. exile fell down to number 18!
3. dancing in the moonlight is out of the top 10.

2. mas mas mas fell much further than i expected.
🟢 (positive)
1. head & heart is number 1 for you again, breaking crownnote records!

Honestly, I'm struggling to look at screens for very long with my headache at the moment, but I'll take a look tonight if it improves, or tomorrow if it doesn't. :)

It's still close enough for everything to change on my chart, but yeah, 'Looking For Me' is looking likely to become the new #1 on Thursday!

Piran

Replying to each point...

🔴 (Negative)

1) I could see this going up for the next couple of weeks, due to Ava's new album being released this coming Friday.

2) 'Exile' shouldn't fall as far on the next chart, but my love for EDM just outshined my love for 'Folklore' this week apparently.

3) 'Dancing In The Moonlight' lost a lot of radio airplay everywhere this week, so that caused me to listen to it less too!

🟠 (Mixed)

1) Only Megan's verses are keeping it afloat this week, along with the clean edit picking up a lot of radio support now, but it probably won't last any longer!

2) A lot of foreign language songs tend to do this for me! They'll stay on repeat for a few days, then they'll end up just getting mostly forgotten. The trend didn't change this with song among the Dutch ones!

🟢 (Positive)

1) It probably won't spend any more weeks at #1, but at least you got to see this song become my longest EDM leader of all-time!

2) Both of these are going to climb next week, even if topping the charts is a bit beyond reach for either of them.

3) I don't know what happened this week, but I'm obsessed with it now! It's looking like it'll go all the way next time.

4) 'You Broke Me First' being the biggest climber of the week shows you how much I've really warmed to it! The same is happening to 'Midnight Sky' at the moment & 'Greece' to a less extent. While I don't really like TikTok as an app, a remix of 'Love Story' is getting popular on it, hence the big move up my charts!

5) The song as a whole is decent, but that final minute is so relaxing! I needed that this week, hence why it's back.

As promised, here is my "traffic light review" for your chart...

🔴 (Negative)

1) 'Ain't It Different' dropped out of the Top 10. I'm actually starting to get into it a lot recently, especially with those awesome reactions videos!

🟠 (Mixed)

1) 'Easy Life' debuted in the Top 10! Unfortunately, being a fan of recent indie-pop hits in this lane, this one was slightly underwhelming.

2) 'Heather' grew on you enough to actually make a debut! I don't think it'll do the same for me, but I get why people like it.

3) I'm happy that 'Nobody's Love' is dropping fast, but I'm disappointed that's it is still here... or how it even got here in the first place!

🟢 (Positive)

1) 'You Broke Me First' spends a second week at #1!

2) 'Mood' takes another boost to land inside the Top 5.

3) 'Exile' got a small rebound! It's now higher in your charts than mine for the first time.

4) 'Holiday' made a debut, which is a really pleasant surprise, given how much you usually don't like Little Mix!

5) There's more good news for Taylor Swift, as 'Invisible String' rebounds slightly & 'The Lakes' sneaks in a debut.

thanks for the feedback! i’m glad there’s mostly positive points, it’s more than mixed and negative combined! :P

sad is an edm/club remix of that lame xxxtentacion song, remixed by imanbek.

nightmares is a weird indie-ish song by a group called easy life. i first heard it a while back but it picked up on itunes for a moment.

I timed getting to this perfectly, as 'Take You Dancing' just came on the radio when I reached this reply! :P

The 'Sad' remix is definitely better than the original, but I feel like Imanbek just used the same beat from 'Roses' to be honest.

'Nightmares' though... I'm not sure! It sounds like the kind of song Radio 1 might be play with its indie feel, but it's just probably not going to stick with me unfortunately! :/

We'll see if either one of them can grow on me though.

Thanks for sending me these! :)

my traffic light review:
🔴 (negative)
1. worst part about this chart... bring me the horizon’s “obey” is new at 38!!! this is the definition of ear r@pe and is already in my top 3 worst songs of all time - the screaming is so obnoxious and the production hurts my ears. yeah, this is a 0/10! f**k this song.
2. dancing in the moonlight got acr’d, causing it to fall out of the top 40.
3. blinding lights rebounded to number 21! are we ever gonna let this song go?
4. tap in couldn’t make the top 40... such a great trap song.
🟠 (mixed)
1. head & heart is on acr. i’m getting back into this song, it had a good run.
2. dynamite is still dropping.
3. declan mckenna lost the number 1 album to the rolling stones.
4. the new song by s1mba and ksi should be the top debut next week. i’m indifferent on it.
5. popstar is back in at number 20 (thanks justin bieber).
🟢 (positive)
1. wap is still number 1! this is a really unpopular opinion but this song is so good.
2. mood swings in the top 5!!!
3. midnight sky and looking for me - two addictive bangers - made the top 10! meanwhile, take you dancing missed haha.
4. you broke me first gained! honestly, this is one i’ve followed for a while now. top 10 next week, anyone?
5. lemonade entered! i love trap music and this song - don toliver and gunna are awesome new talents. 8/10!
6. lasting lover is an 8/10 as well. i love the drop in this, it sounds retro.
7. giants made it too! well done to dermot kennedy for appearing on soccer aid.
8. oh, for the night is my ringtone now. so it’s great to see it back in the top 20.

thanks for reading! have a great weekend.

My review:
NEGATIVE
- Everyone on the OCC discord server will know I hate WAP so I'm so angry it's at #1
- Head & Heart and a plethora of other tunes go on ACR
- Lighter drops 1! Can we get this to #1 plz?
- Take You Ranting and Savage Noise climb to #11 and #12. Thanks guys, wanna torture our ears some more?
- POPSTAR re-enters and into the top 20. music video.

MIXED
- Mood climbs! Unfortunately not to #1...
- Mood Swings in top 5! It's a good song, but I was excited for H&H to get to no 5...
- Laugh Now Cry Later doesn't drop, but it doesn't climb either...

GOOD:
- Looking For Me climbs to top 10!
- Midnight Sky in top 10 too!
- Tick Tock climbs to 14!
- Holiday climbs! It's their best song!
- Watermelon Sugar goes on ACR about time
- Giants jumps up 30+! awesome song
- New Sigala song in top 40! his best in years
- Lemonade in the top 40! This single is awesome and deserves top 10!

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (11/09/2020 - 17/09/2020)

🔴 (Negative)

1) I’m honestly still not enjoying ‘Wap’ at #1! The production nor Cardi’s verses have grown on me, plus the content is still incredibly unsettling.

2) ACR… in general! Seriously, I’m just grouping this together because it killed off so many awesome EDM summer anthems like ‘Head & Heart’, ‘Heaven On My Mind’ & ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’, ‘West Ten’, 'Secrets' & 'Kings & Queens', to name just a few. I decided to put this as one point, because making four separate negatives would just be even more depressing!

3) ‘Take You Dying’ (oh, sorry, ‘Take You Dancing’), climbed again this week! It might’ve just fallen short of the Top 10 today, but given how long it’s got until ACR, I have the sinking feeling that it’ll get there very soon.

4) Oh no, ‘Popstar’ is back! Let’s be honest, who even cares about this song?! It’s only back in the chart because everyone went wild for the official video as it featured Justin Bieber. I’ll just stick with ‘Greece’, thank you very much!

5) 'Lemonade' is actually that forgettable that I had to edit my review to include it here! I would say that's actually funny, if the song didn't (which, for the record, it does!).

🟠 (Mixed)

1) ‘Mood Swings’ reached the Top 5! I don’t like the lyrics at all, but the vocals & production are chill to make this Pop Smoke’s best song yet.

2) Despite it being a much older song, I actually don’t mind ‘Watermelon Sugar “falling” (as Harry would say) this week, because it’s getting so overplayed that radio had to give it a break at some point.

3) I am warming to ‘Heather’ a little bit, but it’s still not connecting with me in the same way that it is for others. I’m finally starting to see the appeal behind it though!

4) 'Tap In', 'Dance Monkey' & 'Cardigan' all moved up, but not enough to make a re-appearance in the Top 40.

5) The Rolling Stones set a new record on the albums chart, although I've heard absolutely nothing from it yet, haha.

🟢 (Positive)

1) ‘Mood’ climbed to the runner-up spot! It looks like this is now a hit about everywhere which is awesome, but it continuing that TikTok momentum allowing to become the next #1 single would be the icing on the cake.

2) ‘Ain’t It Different’ took advantage of the clearout week & hit a new peak! All three artists go hard on this, which you don’t really see often in a UK rap collaboration nowadays.

3) ‘Looking For Me’ finally broke the Top 10! Yeah, the song is basic, but that’s what makes it so immediately catchy. Also, that beat is incredible, even without the bass being boosted! Honestly, this would fit clubs perfectly if they were open right now.

4) I’m so happy that we can add Miley Cyrus to the list of mainstream artists who are bringing back the throwback disco vibe in 2020. This also going Top 10 is amazing, but I think it has the potential to be even bigger in the coming weeks, given how well it’s selling!

5) ‘You Broke Me First’ is still gathering attention fast! Tate McRae deserves it though & if she keeps making music in this lane, I could honestly see her sticking around for a while! This has to go Top 10 next week, surely?

6) ‘Tick Tock’ might be getting attention a little slower, but it’s certainly moving in the right direction & more importantly, it’s consistent across all chart metrics!

7) How did 'Blinding Lights' rebound again?! Is it even on ACR yet, or are people just loving it so much that they decided to give it another push? Either way, I'm certainly not complaining, especially when it's such a modern masterpiece!

8) How did I miss out mentioning that 'Giants' took an insane boost thanks to Dermot Kennedy's Soccer Aid appearance & Radio 1 overplaying it, haha! Either way, I'm so glad this song is finally here. It really took a while (probably even longer than 'Outnumbered'), but better late than never!

9) 'Lasting Lover' sounds really good on first listen! James Arthur sounds a lot more interesting over this production & Sigala's immediately addictive drops never disappoint me.

10) Bring Me The Horizon somehow got another Top 40 hit in 2020! It’s honestly so exciting to see a metal group back in the singles chart, especially when they’re bringing this much energy from the entire group & raw vocal presence. I’m glad YUNGBLUD is here too, he fits in better than I expected!

11) Both ‘Come & Go’ & ‘Hallucinate’ rebounded, which pleasantly surprised me, given that I thought both of them would be out by now.

Thanks for reading everybody! ;)

great review, we've got the same negative points lol I'm sad Tap In missed out, but Lemonade came out of nowhere and that is a banger!

number 10 on positive is not exciting to me in the slightest. “obey” is worthless garbage and belongs in the gutter. 0/10!

Thanks MusicLover! :)

I forgot to put 'Lemonade' in my review, so that shows how easy it is to dismiss, haha.

So 'Birthday' actually grew on you a little? :P

yeah, back to it’s original 1/10 from february, but never gonna get higher. still a skip. :P

Let's be honest, a 1/10 is still terrible! :P

I edited my review again, so 'Obey' is now #10 on positives! :P

You won't like the new #7 in my list either though, haha.

Did the ACR rules change again this week or is it just a weird coincidence that so many things plummeted? I can't remember ever seeing so many climbers in one chart.

I'm _very_ happy to see another Bring Me the Horizon track in the chart, Yungblud is really good too. Rock has been depressingly absent from the chart for many years and only BMTH seem to be able to break that trend lately.

Great chart this week overall though, and I really like Mood! Your comments on Mood _Swings_ are bang on :-)

Not really getting Ain't It Different yet; it's only redeeming feature is the slowed down Crazy Town sample!

I agree on every comment you made mate. Though I can't stand Miley, it's good that her song had hit the top ten, it's a good disco vibes track. (Remember that Kylie new album out on Nov 6th is called Disco, so let's hope it brings chart success she deserves). Also agree on the joy of seeing Sigala and James Arthur's collab hitting the top 40. Love both of them. As for the rap/trap american songs, no comments, I hate them. I still can't believe how British singles charts emphasized so many Am artists and so many British good ones vanished over the bottom of the list, British charts, through its history, always reflected the nation's original pop/dance, I'm disappointed on it becoming more Billboard than Billboard itself.

I'm glad you're another regular who adores 'Midnight Sky', but I'm curious to know why you can't normally stand Miley? Is it to do with her behaviour, her music, or both? :/

avatar

Piran

2

The ACR rules actually didn't change at all this week! It just so happened that a lot of songs were placed on ACR all at once.

I'm glad we agree on 'Mood' & 'Obey' especially! :)

I guess it has to do with her latest personal life problems. I see her like a natural troublemaker, but don't know, it's that feeling. But I do not mix that with the music itself, she has a great and voice and her songs generally are good.

avatar

Piran

2

I genuinely think she's past that though!

Yeah, in the 'Bangerz' era (2013), she was an incredibly controversial artist, but I honestly believe that was just a way to get attention, which I'm sure we've all done at some point in our lives! Besides, some of her peers have acted in a far worse way anyway.

I think she's learned that it was the wrong way to act & that she's moved on for the better ever since! :)
