All of the Top 40 arrivals were mostly expected & they range a lot in quality too! It's good to see Little Mix push 'Think About Us' as the next single given that it's one of the better tracks from 'LM5' in my opinion. :)

Overall the chart is very bad iand very disappointed. 2018 was also a disaster. In 2017 it was a bit better with Ed sheeran, Camilla Cabello, but this year so far and last year is a shame. It was much better in 2013/2014 and even better from 1987 till 1994. (that was the best era for music.) But this year and last year was extremely terrible and with Streaming bringing a lot of garbage urban hip hop closer to the top, it starts getting unacceptable.
I have been following the UK charts continously, each week from 1987 (my teen years), and i have continued through my 40s and 50s , but now i start really giving up losing any interest...

And the German , US charts are even worse, so the only charts that is a bit better and still worth at least to read/listen is the UK, the US / German charts are simply dead.

And it is not that i am getting old. Simply (even if looking back a few years when music was better) , today the music writers/producers just dont have a feel/inspiration/will, to create good music.
If i were too old for new days pop, i wouldn't have liked Daft Punk , Blurred Lines Hozer - Take me to church a few years ago. Or Little mix - Black magic was also good, but anything comes out is a total disappointment nowdays. (just look at Little mix's lead single last year, very boring, generic..) Terrible. I hope that this year finally will have some good releases.

I would agree that 2013-14 were among the better years of the decade, as was 2017, although I'd argue 2016 was worse than 2018, since we at least had acts like Dua Lipa & Mabel in the latter.
I've honestly got no complaints about 2019 so far, particularly with the #1s we've had, even if it has been literally Ariana Grande & Ava Max since like November (if you exclude the Christmas #1).
