The problem with the current charts (Due to streaming and playlist
gain/stay), which is so different than physical to early download, like
14-20 years ago and beyond was amazing each week back then exciting too
(none album track then - only changed since 2007), there was so many new
entrys in week 1 of release or fast chart hits like 4-8 NEW entry s for
the Top 20 which is so right, now you get 1 or just a couple for good
Luck,as it all about staying the same hits, hanging, chilling before ACR
or Half streaming points hit you down for songs been hanging there for a
while going up. not Sure this is still right the format for modern
charts completely we miss the pure sales for Radio 1 Charts, nearly 90%
each week is all about Streaming points to units, get new hits in the
charts on week 1 there are over 60+new songs release each week in UK and
that just for starters, sometimes hundreds per week.

Another absolute mostly chart, especially the number one 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

WAP - dreadful !!!!! Years ago this wouldn't have made the top 100 and would have been banned. The artists have a responsibility to ensure young listeners are not subjected to this kind of filth instead they flaunt it for all to hear. Disgusting. Those of you listening to this dribble should seek medical attention.
Augustus Doministrix
Vikingman Well said man, at least someone with sense. I say people have their own tastes, fine, listen to what you like, but WAP is not even music, nor is it a song, it is actual flaming garbage with absolutely no substance whatsoever from 2 totally talentless scumbag prostitutes.

Any chance you can put a sticker or icon next to every track that features "explicit" lyrics? As a radio producer in China it's very hard to obtain "clean" radio edits (without having to create our own), and wading through every track to find even a stray "" (Toni Braxton) or "" (Dua Lipa) is really time consuming! Thanking you in advance!

So happy to see finally DERMOT KENNEDY breaking the Top 30 with his brand new and amazing single : GIANTS!! Amazing song from a very underrated artist!!
Piran
Man, 'WAP' unfortunately doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon!
I'm so excited to see 'Mood' take the runner-up position, along with 'Looking For Me' & 'Midnight Sky' both inside the Top 10, but it that 'Head & Heart' has gone on ACR.
I hope you're all doing good! :)
Rob Parkinson
Besides WAP the rest of the chart is looking pretty good with some good climbs and although I was really impressed with Conan Grays maniac, Heather is so different and great I'll be interested to hear more music from him. Also great to finally see yungblud enter the top 40, is really tough for a rock/alternative artist these days but he has been releasing great music and hopefully will gain more popularity featuring with BMTH
Piran
'Heather' is growing on a lot of regulars here, so hopefully it can do the same for me too, haha. :)
I agree that 'WAP' needs to drop soon, but yeah, it's awesome that 'Obey' made the Top 40!
Rob Parkinson
Yeah Heather is an unusual track but is one that is definitely a grower, the more you hear it the more it sinks in and grows on you until you love it! Have you heard his maniac? If you haven't take a listen its a more uplifting instant likeable track and like chalk and cheese compared to Heather
Piran
I haven't heard it actually, but thanks for recommending it to me! I wonder how high 'Heather' will get in the charts... do you think it could reach the Top 10? :)
Rob Parkinson
Yes I think it most certainly could hit the top 10, is so hard these days to get there but will see in next couple of weeks
Piran
It's a fairly new song too, so it's not like ACR will be any threat to it just yet. :)
Rob Parkinson
You're right and it is a grower, so it could well hit the top ten but also depends on new releases that are coming out in near future too or if it gets anything to give it more promotion:)
Piran
Yeah, songs tend to hit a bit of a wall when they get to the Top 20, as they're charting near songs that never seem to go away, e.g. 'Blinding Lights', haha! :P
