LIZZO was at 4 mid week but i guess 7 is very respectable and who knows Top 3 next week...She deserves it...We are so proud of you girl even COOLOCELOT 1 who is a huge fan of your work!!

For as much as I still like 'Dance Monkey', I was really rooting for 'Lose You To Love Me' to get that #1!
Maybe if it was released on Friday, it would've had a much better chance, but it's fine since Top 3 is by far the best performance from Selena here & it's such a beautiful song.
Eight new arrivals into the Top 40... busier week than I expected then! :)
Rob Parkinson
Yeah is going to be tough for anybody currently knocking dance monkey off the top if its had a week with its biggest performance yet. Its popularity is still increasing, although I feel its overplayed now many people are still discovering it
Piran
Yeah, to be fair, I still think 'Lose You To Love Me' would've been #2 at best if it did get a full tracking week on the day it came out.
I feel like 'Dance Monkey' might remain at #1 until it goes on ACR, which won't be for at least another three weeks given that it gained in both sales & streams this week!

hie Piran it's really a lot of new entries in top 40 and a lot of biggest droppers. As FOR Dance Monkey I think it's gonna also be part of the one of the best songs of the year im sure top 5 by the end of the remaining two months this year
Piran
Hey Brandon! :)
Yeah, eight new arrivals in the Top 40 is a lot, as shown by how much longer than normal my weekly OCC review got!
I don't know about Top 5. It'll have a disadvantage since it charted later in the year, but it'll be hard to tell since annual charts don't consider ACR.

too much played for sure we had an argument at my workplace the first time they heard it it's very catchy

Finally Niall is making the Top 40 with his brand new single!! About time...Great single...
thierry henon
So glad to hear Selena Gomez is finally getting the success she fully deserves in UK!! Yeah, her first but long overdue Top 3 single...
Brandon Mwinga
Hey Thierry wish she could've been number 1 .by looking at the sales she's already dropping she's going to enjoy a week or two in the top 10
thierry henon
My baby girl LIZZO is finally getting her first ever Top 10 single!! Yeah, you go girl...so proud of you...Love you, , love you!!
