Official Singles Chart on 23/9/2016

looking forward to seeing this album a lot of exclusive http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1144135891?ls=1&app=itunes

Honestly surprised by this issue as everything has charted practically on its midweek charting which is pretty rare, could this be the turning point or just a good week we'll see soon enough, and we witness exactly why John Newman's Ole should of been credited under Harris, and we also see something else, the Coldplay sounding My Way with the Harris doing Chris Martin sounding vocals is the first single this year Calvin has uploaded a full length audio to on his YouTube channel, and as you can see it has had an effect on sales cos everyone converts it, to save John's career they need to go back in the studio and do the real follow up to Blame, cos theoretically they can dismiss Ole as a Newman single produced by Calvin, they need to do this to get John's foot back in the door, then John needs to sign with Calvin's fly eye records or any other label and release a Love Me Again sized hit with a powerful go to church chorus, something like I don't know Only You maybe, and an album after with the usual 7 letter title like Survive maybe, up to him, happy to hear Olly Murs single has recently gone silver for sales over 200,000 copies and his sold out his tours really quickly, years & years have had their first flop, Ellie's song is now climbing due to the film, but lots of flops still and low entries, streaming seems to have too much importance rather than being even with the sales.

Wonder if the Chainsmokers will break a #1 record.

Riley, not sure it's such a great week.

I think you'll find that 'the ratio of new singles out each week or available to stream to chart success' isn't that high. What I mean is if ten singles are released in a week you may get 2 or 3 breaking into the top 100. This means 7 or so don't chart at all. You could argue the chart is the least healthy it's ever been. Let's put it to the test. Here is a list of new songs out this week (from 23 September):

2Play feat Christian Jules – She’s Got That Vibe
Alibis – Cruel World
Armand Van Helden – Wings
Aston Merrygold – I Ain’t Missing You
Bishop Briggs – Be Your Love
Bon Jovi – Labor Of Love
The Chainsmokers feat Halsey – Closer (Remixes)
David Guetta x Cedric Gervais x Chris Willis – Would I Lie To You Baby
JoJo feat Remy Ma – FAB
Kat DeLuna – Waves
Keane – Tear Up This Town
Klangkarussell – Hey Maria
Margaret Berger – Running With Scissors
Michael Buble – On An Evening In Roma (Sotter Celo De Roma)
Mount Cashmore – Love You More
Nervo feat Timmy Trumpet – Anywhere You Go
Nevada feat Mark Morrison & Fetty Wap – The Mack
Regina Spektor – Older And Taller
Sean Smith – Turn Me On
Sløtface – Bright Lights
Sting – 50,000
Teddy Mac – You Make Me Feel So Young
Tempa T – Not A Rocker
Will Joseph Cook – Sweet Dreamer

24 new songs. Let's see how many of them enter the top 100 next Friday.

gaga's career is on the rocks, i kinda liked the new single

I am not a fan of My Way but at least it blocked Side to Side from hitting the top 5. The best thing is All In My Head didn't do very well in the end.

So glad The Chainsmokers and Halsey are number 1 again this week and blocked James Arthur from the top spot, I'm not really a fan of his music.

gagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

that awful gaga song fell really quickly! the hype cant save a sh*t song anymore!

Really liking this weeks official charts. Good to see so much movement! Happy that the Chainsmokers are number 1 again and very happy that Calvin Harris has hit the top 5 with My Way. Good to see Ariana Grande still climbing and also happy Martin Garrix is back in the top 10 with ITNOL. Also happy that Hailee Steinfield has hit the top 40 and glad that digital farm animals and cash cash are climbing. Overall - great week

Congratulations to The Chainsmokers & Halsey for a 4th week at #1 with 'Closer'! I still love this song a lot, but I'd rather it was James Arthur at the top of the charts this week (although the strong sales of 'Say You Won't Let Go' should keep it as a strong contender next Friday as well). It's a shame that 'Perfect Illusion' only lasted 1 week in the Top 40 & it looks like the official video couldn't save Lady Gaga from falling fast, but I prefer her dance-pop songs even though I don't mind her newest single.
Meanwhile Calvin Harris earns his 21st Top 10 today with 'My Way'; it might have took a while to grow on me, but it's actually a pretty catchy hit. It's definitely great to see Hailee Steinfeld earn her 1st UK Top 40 appearance & I'm so surprised the 3 previous singles from her debut EP haven't charted as she's such a talented artist.
Also, other than the #1, there was no other song in the Top 10 that remained in the same place as last week & although Drake has performed very well in 2016, I definitely think 'One Dance' overstayed in the Top 10, so I'm alright with it leaving that region. Good chart overall this week though! :)

Geez, that new James Arthur song is dismal. The guy mumbles instead of singing.
