BBC Radio 2 needs to pick up the Official Charts for Sales, and Radio 1 needs to do Just Streaming Charts, so it fair for all, also the charts needs the prime time for morning slot so it boost extra listeners to millions more

I want DL to be on ACR next week because I really hate that song.

Fact: Since the Week 1 to Week 8 Drivers license has only sold 21,773 Pure Copies, as the the rest of 566,611 is added by points streams to Units for singles charts, So it not really a big hit on actual sales.
BleeUK
It Maybe #33 on Radio 1 Singles Charts, But Rag’n’Bone Man’s All You Ever Wanted is Officially #1 on the proper sales countdown this week (from Official Charts Company) with Top Downloads/Top Sales, Radio 1 Adds streaming points to unit so therefore Drivers license is #1 for 8th week running by Olivia Rodrigo

Drivers Licence to to break Bryan Adams record of 16 consecutive weeks at number one.!!.lol.
Augustus Doministrix
The ACR rules are so stupid...
Augustus Doministrix
Whoever downvoted that is a w*nker.

To those of you who are starting to get sick of ‘Drivers License’, I think it’s set to be placed on ACR in a couple of weeks from now, so we’ll almost certainly have a new #1 by the end of the month. :)
Not much else to say really, except that I love the continued EDM dominance here, especially the return of Joel Corry!
⁉️
We could even get one next week with Drake and Bruno Mars releasing, but sadly I think we’re having another week.
I’m hating the EDM dominance though, it’s all the same to me now. :|
Piran
Yeah, I think 'Drivers License' is getting a ninth week, since nothing big enough was released today to challenge it.
Bruno Mars finally released some new music?! :O
⁉️
Yeah, in collaboration with Anderson. Paak.
Amazing song to be honest.
Piran
I'm looking forward to hearing that one. :)
Augustus Doministrix
It’s great, it’s like classic Motown
I myself for years am getting sick of the modern generic and tuneless mumble rap kicking around, I’d rather dance music kick all that streamed in rubbish out
Piran
Bruno's last album really impressed me, so if his new music is anything like '24k Magic', then I'm very excited for it! :D
Augustus Doministrix
Oh yeah I’ve loved all his albums :) don’t really know Anderson Paak too well, I just know the name, thought he was more of a rapper but he’s got a great singing voice on that song
Piran
I've always thought of Anderson Paak as more of a singer than a rapper, to be honest. :)

Just over a year ago Dance Monkey by Tones and I... spent ,11 weeks at number 1....
BleeUK
Rag’n’Bone Man’s All You Ever Wanted is Officially #1 on the proper sales countdown this week
(from Official Charts Company) with Top Downloads/Top Sales
Piran
Yeah, it was the best-selling song of the week, but that unfortunately doesn't make it a genuine #1 single! The streaming numbers were sadly far too low for it. :/
Joshua Sombra
Don't want 'Driver's License' to be No.1 anymore. Last week of it being No.1
Joshua Sombra
DL is not getting a ninth week on No.1. Boring song.
Joshua Sombra
She does not deserve to be No.1 for a ninth week because if it is I will never come back to this website anymore.
Joshua Sombra
Do you know why I hate that song because it is not a song that I think relates to every adult because it don't and she is denying that the song talks about Sabrina as well which I think she actually lied about.
Joshua Sombra
I want that song to be on ACR immediately.
Joshua Sombra
There is something to challenge it, but people were stupid to listen to DL. She is trying to deny that the song talks about Sabrina and she is a complete liar. So guys please don't listen to this song. She is so cancelled. She don't need to sing anymore.
Joshua Sombra
I will definitely listen to something to make this song be finally beaten off the top spot. When that time happens I will be celebrating and saying go away stupid Driver's License song, no one even liked that song and the artist that is why she will be a one hit wonder. She don't need success cuz she don't deserve it. I could say worse things than that but I will leave like this.
eric effiong's publicist
you said that last week about it being 8 weeks and you're still here. go away then.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
you said that on sunday, and now it’s got an 8th week, and look who decided to still comment.
BleeUK
Yeah the streaming maybe low, but this showcases that people will buy more of Rag And Bone Man this week and pay money for it, so to me and some it make it a genuine #1, as you can see Drivers license has only top for one week only on sales countdown which is official too, Radio 1 and Singles charts maybe the top features for charts on the radio but doesnt make it a total genuine #1 or Top 40,as they include streaming point to sales to make a whopping extra sales, and only certain artist and tracks will get higher in the Top 40 due to Ratios/ACR/SCR and Streaming for single include the most of playlist share and channels label airplay to big units, By The End of the day radio 1 need just to do Streaming Charts only with the announcement of how many plays it has in that case, than units added to sales. The Sales charts needs to be picked up by BBC Radio 2
Joshua Sombra
There are way more better songs than this trash to be on No.1 like there will be possible competition to No.1 as new songs such as Hold On by Justin Bieber, Lock The Door Open by Bruno Mars and What's Next by Drake. I think Lock The Door Open could possibly be the next No.1 but Wellerman could be finally No.1 next week but I hope that crappy song isn't on No.1 again. I mean she is an actor. I think her music is going to be forgettable due to her acting career. Her acting career is the only success she will have.
Piran
The "official" chart is the one that we're both commenting on now, maybe minus the ACR & three songs rules! :P
Piran
I don't think 'Drivers License' will match it though! It's probably getting next week at #1 at most & even that's not guaranteed yet. :)
