Official Singles Chart Top 100

Rein Me In increased by less than 1% so has avoided ACR again.

This is honestly the final straw for me. The rules do not work and I've now officially lost any interest in the charts I've ever had after quite a while of having less and less interest.

the grim reaper showed no mercy this past week, as we lost two notable names in music, both really young.

firstly, rest in peace to oliver tree. i was in car park traffic when i heard about it and my jaw fell to the floor. although i’m not a fan of the songs he charted in the uk with, there were some really good songs from the ugly is beautiful album that i’ve been revisiting in the wake of his death. it’s really brutal he had to go out the way he did. 32 is way too young.

an even younger fate was rap producer tay keith, reported last night. this guy was still a college student when he made the beats of some of the late 2010s rap songs i grew up with like sicko mode, and he never stopped. the hits kept on coming until he suddenly passed in his apartment. 29 is also way too young.

sending my thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of oliver tree and tay keith 🕊️

and for the other playlist, here’s twelve songs i’ve had on rotation this past week by artists and bands that didn’t play download:

i’ve got two playlists dropping and this first one is a special one as i was at download festival last weekend! here’s a song from every band i saw!

• archangel - pendulum
• tanzneid - electric callboy
• when the sh*t goes down - cypress hill
• take a look around - limp bizkit
• obsession - thornhill
• superman - south arcade

was sad i had to miss caskets, landmvrks, black veil brides, a day to remember and bloodywood though :(

did… did taylor release more cd singles to prevent olivia from getting the number 1 single?

this is GREED, plain and simple. there is no way taylor felt that threatened by olivia’s success to the point she had to block her from that number 1 spot. this woman hates other women in music and this is further proof. 

oh, and the song is mediocre at best.

It's so obvious Taylor had more physicals made to block Olivia doing the chart double. Defo didn't like the Day 1 album streams.

What is the converted streaming points and YouTube views? 🤨

How did Taylor come back to #1 after being far away in the midweek charts? A pity, because Olivia's song is so much better and deserved the #1.

Not related to this week’s chart, but RIP Tay Keith and Oliver Tree. The former produced a few major hip-hop singles in the last few years, while the latter had a big hit across Europe earlier this decade.

They were only 29 and 32 years old respectively. Way too young to go. :(

It's a shame that 'Girl Like Me' fell so much this week. I was hoping that PinkPantheress could get another Top 40 single with it.

No dna football by David Guetta, EJAE and Megan thee stallion 😢. It's part better than shakira's 😒 

Other than Olivia doing great rn, I can’t say I’m a big fan of this chart

Slayyyter out, Ravyn about to be out, Iconic By Mistake being really bad, ari’s new single quickly coming out of the top ten :/

What’s with the lack of ACR hits this month? This is now the third chart of June and the only significant entry that been put on it is ‘Human Nature’.

The fact that ‘Rein Me In’ is still avoiding just baffles me at this point. It needs to go. 

How much was the gap between 1st and 2nd?

I prefer Shakira’s other hits from the 2000s and 2010s, but it’s still amazing to see her back in the Top 40 after all this time.

Not even surprised that ‘Three Lions’ got there already. I’d much rather have ‘Sweet Caroline’ or ‘Freed From Desire’ in the region instead.

Disappointed that Olivia didn’t get the #1 this week, but congratulations to her on the biggest opening week of her career and landing three simultaneous Top 5 entries!

Honestly, I think this is her best project to date. I love the maturity of the writing in the slower ballads, the fact that she’s becoming more adventurous and experimental on the upbeat songs, and the versality of her singing throughout. Delighted to see her getting so much success with this era.

My favourites from the new tracks were ‘Expectations’, ‘U + Me = <3’ and ‘My Way’.

‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ holding onto the #1 feels completely wrong. Literally 48 hours ago, it wasn’t even inside the Top 5.

I actually don’t mind the song, but I’m getting really tired of Taylor’s sales tactics. For context, she released limited-edition CDs and vinyl at the last minute.
