SO HAPPY ED SHEERAN ISNT #1 and while I don't like drakes music he is so kind so I can live with this. Abba in the top 10 is nice to see, haven't heard their new songs yet though lol sad to see EDM fall and lil nas x out the top 10 :/ way 2 or the one with durk and giveon for #1 the best on drakes album
My Name Is Stomp
That's some Drake overkill.
Alfred Lock
That'll take some topping with the nuclear reference.😆
afrog
You should see the chart without the 3 single rule 😂
heavenonmymind
omg that nuclear accident at the top 3, god help us!
AG
Andrew Green
Even ignoring the fact that Step Into Christmas has been a top ten hit for Elton John for the last two Christmases, Elton John's last top ten solo hit was the 2005 hit Electricity, which got to #4.
Jack Suslak
Also Are You Ready for Love was after I Want Love
Küll
Abba should be the number 1 🤦
Piran
Did OCC post two First Look articles this week? Not surprised given how much is happening here, haha. :)
Anyway, I'm absolutely delighted to see both ABBA & Elton John so high up here! Who would've expected that in 2021?
I think 'Heat Waves' will end up in the final Top 10 though!
NN
Nu No
Sadly unless they have some more physical release to put out before Friday (any limited edition picture disc or color vinyl or whatever) I doubt they will have enough sales and streams to keep a TOP 10 position.
Surprised to see Drake get 3 TOP placements.... hope not all keep so high on final chart as those songs aren't that good.
Ian Robert Herechuk
Elton may well hang in for a Top 10, but I sadly predict Abba will tail off by Friday which is a shame, but a reality of older people not streaming constantly. Let's bask in the 1000 weeks plus of Abba Gold
Alfred Lock
Groan😖😖He's back doing a Justin Bieber and once again the musical mindset IQ audience of Rap clogs the top 3 again..Don't care about that as I'll never hear of it on Radio 2..More interested in the almighty ABBA comeback.Fingers crossed🤞🤞they can hold on to the Top 10 come Friday
Alfred Lock
Yeah ..the older old school like me think streaming socks.. That's for the tight fisted 16-34 group..I've always preferred buying the old school way.
afrog
Still think Abba will land in the top 25 :)
afrog
Very unlikely heat waves will be top 10 on Friday (thankfully 😂)
Piran
Why? It’s massive on TikTok, haha. :)
Piran
I think both will drop out of the Top 10 by Friday, but Elton will be Top 20 & ABBA will be Top 40 (even if it’s just with ‘I Still Have Faith In You’). :)
Piran
Yeah, Drake’s not dropping out of the Top 5 with any of the three tracks from him here, but ABBA will sadly fall off a fair bit by the end of the tracking week. :/
Ian Robert Herechuk
So that was a pleasant surprise. 1 hung on in the Top 10 and the other at 14. With Elton and Dua at 11. A good week except for all the dross from Drake !!
Piran
Yeah, I’d like to see a new song at #1 now, but the majority of this week was above average. :)
