Official Singles Chart Update on 20/7/2020

Then again, she was part of a song that celebrated mothers back in 2016, which went on to spend nine consecutive weeks at #1 & became the Christmas #1 of that year! :)

Yes, I remember that. It led the way into 2017, didn’t it?

I thought the song was great too, got a bouncy beat in it, but the Sean Paul adlibs were unnecessary. Definitely a solid 8/10!

Yeah, I think it did! :)

Oh yeah, Sean Paul wasn't the best fit for that kind of song, but his part was still good! I'd agree with your rating for it.

Of course, after 'Rockabye' fell from #1, a certain artist would come in & dominate the entire year! ;)

Ed Sheeran, of course. By some time, I had had enough of him lol. He ruled that year! :P

Haha, he's kind of the reason we have both the chart rules that we do! :P

I'm glad he dominated 2017 though! I saw him live in Birmingham that April (which I really enjoyed) & he brought us the 10/10 smash that was 'Castle On The Hill' a few weeks beforehand.

Mate, Juice WRLD has FIVE songs inside the Hot 100's Top 10! :O

I paid attention to Chart Data!! :D

Article's up now too: https://headlineplanet.com/home/2020/07/20/billboard-hot-100-dababy-roddy-ricchs-rockstar-spends-6th-week-as-1-song-in-america-juice-wrld-claims-5-positions-in-top-10/

The Khaled songs are 🤢 also 'like That' reenters too!

"I am questioning how many replays it will get from me by the end of the year."

Meanwhile, it's getting around 35 streams from me every day! :P

I haven't listened to it that much since week 1 as after 2 months of a lot of listening to 'Sorry' and 'Lonely' I still liked them, but I couldn't listen to them. Only recently has it seen a return

Haha, well for context, 'Looking For Me' is my next most streamed song with around 10 plays per day! ;)

Some songs I replay all the time and never get bored of, this is one :D

Haha, same here! :D

Your obsession for that is the same obsession I have for Surrender. I overplayed it so much today. Right now, it’s competition for my year-end results are Halsey’s “You Should Be Sad” and Future & Drake’s “Life Is Good” (I think the latter’s already guaranteed the winner lol).

Looks like we've both found songs that could be our Song Of The Summer then! ;)

Obviously, we'll see have to see if 'Head & Heart' can avoid being frontloaded for me, but if it does last beyond the hype, it really could go up against 'Blinding Lights' & 'Body Back' for my favourite hit of 2020 with time.

Also, I've got a bit of a surprise planned for tonight's Headline Planet article! ;)

Ooh, I like surprises! ;)

I'm not sure it'll become a permanent thing, but I think it'll be a cool one-off activity! ;)

Hey does anyone know what the gap is between no 1 and 2?

According to BuzzJack, 'Savage Love' is currently on 22.3k combined chart sales, while 'Head & Heart' has 20.9k... so that would be a 1.4k difference for today! :)

I think I'm going to have many songs of the summer - 'Head & Heart', 'WHATS POPPIN', 'Fake Friends', 'Looking For Me', 'Blueberry Faygo' and 'ily'. I would say 'Celebration Station', and 'Surrender' but they're not Summery lol, and 'Dancing In The Moonlight' isn't top 50 yet. My song of the year will likely be 'Roses (Imanbek Remix)' followed by 'Pump It Up', 'Flowers', 'Life Is Good', 'Sunday Best'.

Haha, it looks like my three contenders will all be EDM songs, but no, 'Head & Heart' has an insane lead so far! :P

Honestly, if that song does to go to #1 on Friday, it'll make most the other chart-toppers so far in 2020 look lame, haha.

I either like or love every song in the Top 10 again, haha! :D

Thanks, Topic returns to the top 10 because I'm trying to listen to it 24/7 so it has less of an ACR drop! Also 'Rover' climbs!

If it's still at #14, then that's not much of an ACR drop at all! :D

I'm surprised after 'Rover''s drop, there must have been a big gap between them!

Yeah, that or the fact that 'Rover' was supported more by streaming! :P

Remember, ACR only affects streaming, so a song won't fall as far if it's getting most of its consumption from downloads.

Aaaaah... That's why 'blinding Lights' is set for the top 10!

Yeah, along with the radio not being able to get over it, haha! :P

It also means its dangerous for a song to strongly rely on streaming 😬

Not before 10 weeks, but it would certainly appear that way after that time! :O

True but if you look at it the songs that rely on streaming are mainly rap songs that peak within the first few weeks so by the time acr hits, its not going too make much of an impact anyway

Plus most UK rap songs enter lower down and fall down the chart quickly - 'Circles', 'Part Of The Plan'... the only exeption is 'Burning' but that took big drops. I'm also surprised 'I Don't Know' held up.

'Physical' out

That's the bad news, but hey, at least it had a good run! :)

Don't Need Love & Savage going on ACR .
Stuck with U out of top 50 from #23 last week
Hallucinate could enter top 40 in the coming weeks!

ANNE MARIE & Doja Cat could pick up too I'm sure

I'm surprised 'To Be Young' is debuting so low, but I think it'll make a slow climb over the next few weeks.

Yeah, we're losing a lot of good songs to ACR this week, but at least 'Hallucinate' could finally make its long overdue entrance! :)

I don't think I will ever tired of this album

Fun fact: Physical is actually still selling more while on ACR than Hallucinate is on SCR. It was her label that asked the OCC to "star out" the former to let the latter chart!

I thought only 3 x tracks per album could chart?

I think it's replacing 'Physical'.

Heres Sa Top 40 https:// top40sa.co.za/chart947

I haven't heard the Lee Cole one, but I love that Lady Gaga has two songs in the Top 10, including #1! :D

I thought you off today hahaha how are you

I'm on for a little bit, because we reached 1000 comments on an OCC page for the first time ever! :D

He sounds like Lewis Capaldi! he's our local lewis haha it's great song please listen to it please!
I have one more song for suggestion please please let me know what you think of South Africa EDM it's called Dance On my own by Amy jones ft WRld Cls

Haha, the name definitely sounded unfamiliar, but I'll give his music a listen later on! :)

Really? So if her label didn't make that request, 'Hallucinate' wouldn't be here?! :O

Haha, outside of three of the tracks ('Good In Bed', 'Boys Will Be Boys' & 'Future Nostalgia'), I don't think I will either! :P

I actually didnt add them on my playlist except which was already there Future Nostalgia the least played the first two i agree!
I am sure it will get nominees on Grammy Awards & British Album of the year

Good news!
Taylor Swift has a suprise album coming out tomorrow! !!Folklore
I just saw the post within "20 minutes of announcement "

I'm so excited!!! :D

I'm not sure if it'll be your "style" (pun intended), as it appears she might be going back to her roots on this album, but I hope you like it anyway.

It'll clear up as next year's BRIT Awards for sure & I hope it can win a Grammy too (or at least get nominated!). :)

I do listen to folk music this one sounds alternative rock ,indie folk, electro-folk chamber pop!
Previous 3 albums before were country pop like &RED album sounded in between pop& country not really country but more of pop side from1989-Reputation sounded synth pop /electro /dance-pop & Lover sounded synthpop too but all of them in common they are adult contemporary!
I will give this one a chance but I always adore her writing skills in all albums. I've always had soft spot for Folk music Birdy songs I fell with her, George Ezra sound!
In south africa we have Majozi very cool electro folk
i still listen to Ed sheeran his first music made me like folk
You see that Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift very soft rock
.Although Echosmith is close to their sound that's why I adore Echosmith too

7/10 overall rating i like the fact that she is honest in writing

it's my first time getting her as a whole album

Oh wow, what are your favourite tracks from it then? :)

That's a good rating! Yeah, the songwriting is really smart & detailed as you said. :)

Echosmith are so underrated! 'Lonely Generation' is still among one of the best albums of 2020 so far. :)

Yeah, all the 'Folklore' tracks should be eligible for the Hot Rock/Alternative Songs chart, or at least receive a lot of Pop & AC airplay!

My favourites
Peace 9/10
Exile 8/10
Cardigan 7/10
the last great american dynasty 7/10
.I would say it's one of the albums to play without skipping
My chart is out
BeckyHill rebounds to number 1 for a third week
With Top 3 exchanging roles Head & Heart falls to #2
Brandy Babymama ft Chance falls #3
With Brandys album coming out this week she might return to number 1
please check out will check yours too

'Peace' was actually my least favourite track from the album, but I love all the other Taylor songs here! :D

I'll comment on your new chart a bit later mate.

ok done with yours!

Nice! I'll be on Crown Note after the chart update in a few minutes. :)

DJ Khaled's songs are terrible. Becky Hill, Jack Harlow, PS1 and Niko B climb! yesss!

Didn’t expect this city to climb! Hoping blinding lights can get back to the top 10!

Hey 'Hallucinate'!

Just mentioned that in another comment, haha! ;)

Looks like 'Fake Friends' might be able to move into the Top 30 after all, as it's at #31 on today's update! ;)

future top 5 for sure!

I'm liking a lot of those artists gaining too! :)

You think it'll go that high?! :O

I'll just be happy if it makes the Top 20, haha.

Hopefully it can end up pushing towards top 20! But fingers crossed for top 30! That and heaven on my mind gaining momentum :)

Both songs are heading in the right direction! ;)

Also, this song really needs to make the Top 40 soon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkVwq7s8FhI

Could do! I didn't expect 'ROCKSTAR' or 'Savage Love' to go to no 1, or 'Flowers' to stick around for that long! And yes Diplo needs to get to the top 40! I don't think it'll go top 5, but top 40 defo :D

Yea, I thought Niko B as gone after last week :(

Yeah, BuzzJack's update has him potentially returning to the Top 40 on Friday, along with 'Perfect' coming back again! :P

It would appear that 'Fake Friends' might climb at least nine places in the next chart, so it certainly has a lot of momentum behind it! :D

Capital FM have already added 'Looking For Me' to their playlists, so let's hope it'll also make a crossover to Radio 1 over the summer.

It and 'Flowers' have stuck around for some time.

They have, this city is stuck at 18! Flowers still hanging around I’m happy with!

same :)
