Katy Perry's Daisies heading for highest new entry while DaBaby set for second week at the top

I couldn’t be happier about gooba going😂 I reckon daises and gooba will be replaced with breaking me and don’t need love come Friday

If we're getting two EDM bangers replacing both of those, then I certainly wouldn't mind your prediction coming true! :D

'Daisies' was just okay for me, but I did see that it briefly reached #1 on iTunes back on Friday.

It isn’t awful daisies but Katy Perry has just fallen away now ain’t she. And I think tht will certainly happen :) gooba may stay and dance monkey may drop out the top 20 but they both should be there come Friday

Yeah, Katy Perry has never really had that massive pop sparkle in a while now, but hey, every artist has to peak at some point. I loved 'Never Really Over' though! :D

Where is the new one republic,kygo song? I’m not syaing it should be in top 20 But I reckon it should be a new entry at around number 35. It’s in the top 50 on streams

Same tbf that was a good song actually!
Also I commented it, do you agree with my prediction that adore you at this point has a chance of making the top 10 of the year chart? It’s just not gone away

I reckon it’s crept around the 30s area

Hmm... I'm honestly not sure!

I mean, it's not on ACR yet, but the final chart of the year will have ACR entirely on it, so I think songs like 'Dance Monkey' or 'Roses' would still be in the Top 10 of the weekly chart, with 'Blinding Lights' at either #1 or #2.

It'll be close though, but remember, it's still only May. I'm not really predicting anything in regards to the chart of the year until the end of the summer at the earliest, haha! :P

That is a VERY good point about how it’s only may. I’m losing track of months let alone days at this point! And that is true yea but the fact it’s still 6 months later not on acr and climbing again is pretty crazy!

It should be high up become end of the year. I agree with piran that we shouldn’t judge the highest selling singles until the end of year. But right now it has to be blinding lights at the moment. Shouldn’t judge to early though as in 2018 one kiss began its chart throughout May and June.

Oh yea blinding lights and dance monkey for sure are the 2 biggest so far! And yea I said to piran the other day actually were waiting for that one summer single to come out and dominate the charts still

Yeh true that’s what I’m thinking

Hey Piran, did you receive my response earlier.

Another awesome week, it seems.

Hey Jstar! :)

Which article was it on? Notifications still aren’t working for anyone, so I have to check the websites themselves rather than Disqus.

Yeah, hopefully tomorrow’s update & the Hot 100 will be the same! :D

I got a email from you earlier on the Hot 100 article. That is honestly the only way I know if people respond to me now. It wasn't anything important though. I look forward to talking tomorrow on the Hot 100 article.

It's like that at some point in music industry
Come on let's give her some credit since 2007 One of the Boys album shes been dominating . there comes a time and being mother soon the focus is on making family I'm sure now the music making is now for fun maybe not really interested in the charts!
Who knows maybe this is just a lead single maybe something better is coming!

Yeah I remember last year Dancing with a stranger looked promisin to be in the top 10 end year charts but ended up in top 20

That was one of my favourite songs of last year! :D

Yeah, I think her next album will her last one in a while, then she'll take a long break like Adele has in order to raise her kid. :)

It's all good, they finally seem to be fixed now! :D

See you on the Hot 100 article later.

Yeah, we've still got the big summer hits to come yet! ;)

That said, 'Blinding Lights' is most certainly the song to beat so far.

Adele she's super very talented great voice of all singers I place her first when it comes to pulling voices even Mariah dosent do it the way Adel does. Taylor definitely should take a break

If Taylor takes a break, it needs to be a brief one! I connect with her music so much & she's consistently perfect across the board. :)

lol I m sure she needs focus on other stuff at some point haha

Everyone's in quarantine at the moment though, so I'm sure they have plenty of time to record new music, especially if they're just living by themselves.

Taylor Swift did release a live concert from Paris last week though! :)

Are you guys in London still on lockdown?

Some restrictions have been lifted over here.

We can now exercise anyway in the country if we do it with our family or one other person outside of our household, more shops are reopening with limited hours & some restaurants are offering takeaway or delivery service only. In all cases though, we must continue to remain at least two metres apart from people who we aren't living with!

What's the situation like in South Africa then?

Also, I'm not actually from London. I'm from a county called Cornwall, which is in the far south-west of England! ;)

thanks for the correction!!

Still the same here restrictions !Takeaways which is delivery no going into the restaurant other facilities still closed
Alcohol has been lifted up wit limited time only consumption at homes! While cigarettes are prohibited this time for healthy reasons. I see maybe August /September /October /November may be around those months maybe we would be free!

Yeah, unfortunately, I think there'll be some form of social distancing everywhere until they find a vaccine! :/

At least different countries are starting to re-open things though.

That's alright! :D

We might be a small country, but there's more than just London, haha.

but it's all part of United Kingdom?

However a small brief this is lastweek Top 40 SA
Brand new number 1 Doja Cat Say So The Weeknd Blinding Lights has spent close to 4 months in the top 3 it's looking to be the best song of the year so far & Don't Start Now 7 months in the top 40!!https://top40sa.co.za/chart947

I love 'Say So' at #1! :D

Also topped both of our charts before, haha.

Intersting Doja Cat is ruling #2020 I hope she will have another hit in future
And looks like 7 songs are only south African 33 which are international

She's ruling the radio charts as well! Doja! !!

Did you hear about the controversy surrounding her this week? :/

I can explain a bit more about my views on it if you want, but I personally don't think Doja Cat did anything wrong!

That's amazing! Hopefully it gets at least a month at #1 in SA then. ;)

uum Roses is contending for the spot !as well as Blinding Lights has been impressively doing well on ITunes & Streaming side!

I support you I think the wrong person was Lan what what her name i don't even like her music at all .
Firstly I feel her address to the artists she mentioned was rude even though it's true but she musnt judge !!I can say a lot but I feel Doja was defending herself.
What are you opinions?

Has 'Roses' not hit #1 in SA yet? I know 'Blinding Lights' has been there for a while already! :)

Yeah, Doja Cat was part of these group chats when she was younger, but there's no proof that she made any racist remarks, it was that Lan girl like you said!

As for the song she recorded in 2015, yes, she admitted to that, but about a third to half of the songs in the Hot 100 use the N-word, but they never get criticised! Besides, she's of black & South African descent, so I'm almost certain she didn't intend to offend anyone.

I am sure she didn't mean harm and by that time she was younger the year '15 so I even see it has cancelled online performance she was supposed to have but I am sure it will pass soon people will forget about it as long she's showing remorse & things like these happen in music industry she's not the first otherwise .it will pass soon!
As with Camila she admitted she did too admit calling Normani n*** word but she apologised because Camila said she was only younger now realising it's wrong she apologised too.
As for Doja people must forgive and I am sure it will pass!

Nop was blocked by era of Elaine You're The One & The Weeknd Blinding Lights so if Doja Cat will spend another third week she will block too bcz there are much better songs doing well than Roses but will see

Oh wow, I think it'll get there eventually though, or at least end up in the Top 10 songs of the year! ;)

See, I think if you apologise like Camila & Doja did, there's nothing wrong! Everyone's made some mistakes at some point in their life & that's completely natural when you're only a kid.

Very true there banger is finally out .Very chilled house and cool for the summer

Blinding lights will defo hang around for awhile yet! And I think both them singles will as the week goes on and adore you is becoming don’t start now avoiding acr for so long!

Adore You definitely is! I'm glad a synth wave song is getting mainstream attention!

I hated adore you for so long but I love it now. No idea why is suddenly going so high but not complaining!

Yeah I like it, much better than Sign of The Times!

I actually love both of those songs, haha. :)

I just prefer upbeat songs to be honest!

Yeah, although 'Sign Of The Times' gave me a lot of David Bowie vibes, which I'll immediately support given how much I liked his music! :)

Yes me too, I love blinding lights, I love The Weeknd. We just need to keep streaming and get it back into the top 5 at least.

Here is a link which we’re trying to get to grow where we discuss the charts. Would be appreciated if you joined https://t.me/officialchartsdiscussion

It's probably because coffee for your head is high on iTunes and Amazon. First Look charts don't have much streaming data in it, so I'm hoping to see it plummet later (my guess is it'll be #3)
