Sam Smith is Too Good at Goodbyes, but he's even better at making a comeback.
Sam's first single in two years is charging towards this week's Number 1 spot, leading today's Official Chart Update by nearly two copies to one. Should Too Good at Goodbyes hold onto the top spot by Friday, it'll be the Londoner's sixth UK Number 1 single.

congrats sam!! i also hope for continued success here in the states!

Ugh... Not properly heard the song yet but Sam Smith is garbage, he doesn't deserve to have the same amount of #1s as U2. Also, Logic's new song will NOT be his first top 40, he was in Sucker For Pain with Lil Wayne and fam.

Not a big fan of Sam's new single... It doesn't hold a candle to his previous singles from "In the Lonely Hour".
Piran
I've got mixed thoughts on Sam Smith's new single, but it's incredible that he could get his sixth #1 in less than four years after his debut single was released!
It's a shame that 'Look What You Made Me Do' fell a bit, but I'm just happy that it got to the top to begin with.
I'm really pleased with the new arrivals for 'Piece By Piece' & '1-800-273-8255' though, although I expected the former of those to be a lot higher in the update.
Sunshine Gal
i'm listening to it right now and it's pretty good, dunno if he'll be any kind of competition for the hot 100's top 10 though. but hey, anything can happen. remember goyte's 'somebody that i used to know'? that was a surprise hit that just came out of nowhere.
Piran
Yeah, though Gotye will probably be known as a one-hit wonder & I only found his song only average in my opinion.
The early prediction for 'Too Good At Goodbyes' on the next Hot 100 is around a #4 or #5 debut, so I think it's safe to say that it should make the Top 10! :D
Sunshine Gal
hey, a 1 hit wonder is wayyy better than a no-hit wonder. and it's not as easy as it looks to even get on the hot 100 chart. and yeah i saw sam smith debuted @ #5 and it looks like our mate niall is #11! that's great.
so anything new happen while i was gone the past few days?
Piran
That's true! We've had so many artists in the UK who have had lots of #1s here, but never charted on the Hot 100 at all.
I'm really hoping Niall goes Top 10 with those airplay gains, but there's a lot of competition right now; 'Sorry Not Sorry' by Demi Lovato, 'Feel It Still' by Portugal. The Man & even Niall's former band mate, Liam, are all very close to reaching the Top 10. The difference is that 'Strip That Down' has already reached the Top 10 for one week.
In other chart news, Sam Smith earned his sixth #1 single in the UK with 'Too Good At Goodbyes' & on the BB200, 'Life Changes' by Thomas Rhett entered at the top, making it the first country album to reach #1 on the BB200 this year. :)
Sunshine Gal
i haven't even thought of the 200 chart in a long time :D. so what's up with katy perry? i never see her on the hot 100 and there's never any new news on her about any upcoming music...her album just flopped and that's it?
