Why did the original article mention that Jonas Brothers Happiness Begins had re-entered at number 41? Very strange. Was it meant to have charted and disqualified perhaps?

Louis Tomlinson deserved better!! To be honest, i was expecting him to get at least a Top 2 but only 4...i reckon he released his album far too late after 1D went on hiatus...

Awesome to see Blossoms at the top again! I’m glad Radio 1 are still giving these guys a lot of support. :)

I really underestimated how much of a boost Taylor Swift’s albums would get following her Netflix documentary, but given that she’s my favourite artist of all-time, that’s the best thing to happen this week for me!
