Official Singles Chart on 27/1/2017

it came out nearly a year ago it reached no.12 in late spring of 2016 :D so the fact its still popular is good- its pretty old now!

yeah i agree with you but its still a good song so it should be a bit higher then its current place

Well, if you really like stressed out theres another song which has just come out called Weak by AJR. for me it sounds pretty similar. I like it, have u heard it?

Nice! This would be my full opinion on the Top 40 this week...
Great: #2, #21, #23 & #24.
Good: #1, #4, #6 (only the remix though), #7, #9, #14, #16, #18, #19, #25, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33 & #37.
Decent: #3, #5, #8, #11, #12, #15, #17, #20, #27, #36, #39 & #40.
Meh: #10, #13, #22, #26, #35 & #38.
Bad: #34
Awful: #28

for me:
Amazing: #17
Great: #6, #10, #13, #24, #33, #35 and #40.
Good: #1, #2, #3, #4, #7, #8, #9, #11, #14, #16, #18, #20, #21, #29, #30, #31 and #37.
OK: #15, #19, #22, #23, #25, #27, #32, #34, #36 and #39.
Bad: #12, #26, #28 and #38.
Rubbish: #5
Which shows how happy I am with the charts right now.
And Piran, ur review looks nothing like ur chart. Paris was ur no1 and uve put that behind at least 4 songs. does that mean ur chart will change 2moro? ;)

So we generally seem to agree here then! :)
Regarding my charts & my ratings, both 'Castle On The Hill' & 'Shed A Light' will actually pass 'Paris' tomorrow. Even though '24k Magic' is in the great tier here, it would've easily been #1 on my Crown Note Charts if I started them a few months ago.

but do u still like it as much now? because theres songs lower down I used to like but don't now. theres actually not many songs I never like

I used to like '24k Magic' a bit more than I do now. However, while it would be much lower than 'Paris' on my charts tomorrow, I prefer '24k Magic' overall. :)
I noticed that you had 'Human' as rubbish. Why do you dislike that so much?

i dunno I just do. I don't like his voice and its kinda rock and I hate rock so yeah

Fair enough. I probably dislike 'Fake Love' & 'Bad & Boujee' because I'm not too into R&B/hip-hop as other genres.
Random question, but what do you think of country music? :)

not really sure. I don't really listen to it so I don't really know. I probably wont like it that much but I dunno ;)

Fair enough. I'm starting to become quite a big fan of it though, but we know that it never charts well in the UK.
As for next week's charts, it should be more exciting as we get more songs debuting! ;)

yeah- hopefully so good, not in love, scared to be lonely and run up will make top 40!

I thought 'Not In Love' would make the Top 40 this week actually, but I agree that it certainly will next week. :)
'Play That Song' by Train might have a chance too!

whats that? haven't heard of that before :/

anyway I'm currently working on my chart on crown note I'm doing a thing where I say each song's real peak and number of weeks on the chart (as ive had it way more than 2 weeks). I might not finish today but ill tell u when I do ;)

It's such a feel-good song, so I would definitely recommend it. :)
I need to check it's streaming figures later, but it's currently inside the Top 15 on iTunes!

Awesome! I look forward to seeing it. :)
Mine should be up by tomorrow morning & I'll let you know when I've posted it!

its not bad, it might grow on me ;)

Have you heard the Rudimental remix of Human? First GOOD remix I've heard in like 10 months (not looking at you, Kungs)

I've never even heard Fake Love, but Drake has been basically cheating by not posting his songs on Youtube just so everyone streams them, thus I've never heard it.

Ay, I should do this like once a month or something and structure it like you, I like your way of doing it

I'm pleased to hear that you think it's fine at first listen. Are you going to stay around for the Official Chart Update then? :)

Yeah, I have & I actually prefer it to the original! :)
Oh the original of 'Call On Me' would be in my meh tier by the way.

yeah when do they put that up?

I think everyone's tired of listening to Drake after he got 15 weeks at #1 with 'One Dance'! :P LOL
Well even though 'One Dance' was far too overrated, at least it had good production, unlike 'Fake Love'.

Thanks! I'm pleased that you like this idea. :D

It'll be published at 5:45pm today. :)
Oh I also updated my Crown Note Charts earlier today too. Here is my Top 40:
www.crownnote.c*m/charts/piran-delves/pirans-top-40-9

cool ill check it out! mine will be up soon too ill tell u when :D

Thanks buddy! I look forward to seeing yours too. ;)

I commented on ur chart on crownnote

Awesome! :)
Oh I just heard the update for the Top 10 on Greg James' BBC Radio 1 show... nothing too interesting in that region to be honest.

Yeah, even I like the Rudimental remix better, funny because first time I heard HumanI thought he sounded like the sort of person who would sing in a Rudimental song, oh and I've not heard the Call on Me remix

The 'Call On Me' remix is really good in my opinion.
Do you like Rudimental in general then? :)

Yeah, if you count them as a band they may or not be my favourite. Love Feel The Love, love Waiting All Night, love the Bloodstream remix...

I loved all of those too & I was also a fan of 'Right Here'! :)

Eh? Thought that was Jess Glynne.

Rudimental did a song with Foxes of the same name, but it only peaked at #14.

Oh, don't think I know that one

I think you'll like it. 'Right Here' by Jess Glynne was awesome by the way! :)

Piran, ive finally put my chart on crownnote! it took so long I'm sorry as ive had mocks to revise for this week and my computer always restarts and loses all my work. the real stats is done which took so long and ive also added a couple of extra breakers too ;) so yeah tell me what u think. I will do another on Saturday too- I'm not getting this far behind again. soz :D

Hey Calum! I hope you get good results in your mock exams. I actually have a few assignments to do over the next few days myself.
I'll check your Crown Note charts & comment there now! ;)

thanks!

I'm looking forward to the charts 2moro! I sure hope all the big new entries from major lazer, zara Larsson, martin garrix and mo get in top 40! and I really hope major lazers album comes out 2moro- it was meant for January but is late. and theres at least 1 track with Camila Cabello on there maybe 2! :D

I think all of those artists you mentioned will probably get new entries in the Top 40, which means my review will be even longer than usual tomorrow. LOL
I'm definitely excited for Major Lazer's new album too! When do you think that Camila will release her debut solo album then? ;)

i think in the summer but dunno when. love incredible should come out in march/april I think (I heard it leaked on youtube but its deleted now)

Awesome! That'll be around the time of my birthday. :)
I found out that Hailee Steinfeld had a new song released with Digital Farm Animals today. I don't think it will debut in the Top 40, but I really want it to!

yeah my bdays in the summer too! and yeah I heard that hailee song on radio 1- its great!

I'm pleased to hear that you like it! Have you updated your Crown Note charts yet? :)

no but ill do it as soon as I can tonight hopefully ;)

I look forward to seeing it later or tomorrow! ;)
Did you see my Top 10 throwbacks of the week then?

sorry its late again but I put my chart on crownnote this week I will DEFINITELY do it on Saturday or sunday ;)

Haha! You said that last week. :P LOL
Just joking! I'll go over & check it out now. :D
I hope you've had a good week Calum! ;)

soz :/ ive checked urs too and left a comment

I have thanks. I'm just waiting for capital to announce the winner of best fans- do u know when they'll do it? hope camila wins- I saw on Monday that shes still winning bu I really hope she does ;)

I'll check their website soon & let you know! Does Camila still have a huge lead then, or it is slipping slightly. How's Taylor doing in that poll by the way? :)

Thanks! I responded to your comment. ;)

well, on Monday one direction were only like maybe 150,000 behind- both had 4 million. so its getting closer. taylor's never been in top 10, I don't think (but not absolutely certain) and it doesn't show below there- soz mate :/ I hope they announce it soon! cos roman's meant to announce it- its been an hour and a half! :/

Aw... that's a shame about Taylor not being in the Top 10, but I'm sure she will be next year after we get more new music from her! :)
Well Roman's show doesn't finish until 10pm & considering it's quite a big poll, he'll probably wait until the end of his show to announce the winner.

ok roman said theyre about to announce it!! SO NERVOUS!! turn on capital if u wanna hear- itll probs be within the next 10 mins!!

I've got Capital on right now! Let's hope Camila wins it then. ;)

yeah I really hope she does! I mean 2 poll wins in 7 months is great!

OK HERE GOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO NERVOUS!!!!!!

It sounds like Roman is about to announce it! ;)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate one direction for this- ARGH!!! she came so close...

Aw... sorry about that! I was really convinced Camila would win it. :/
Well Camila & her fans should be very pleased with second; remember, this is before she's even released a solo single as a lead artist. I'm sure she'll get it next time! :)
You're probably getting the same feeling that I am every time Taylor debuted at #2 on the singles chart... :(

just that she can go to no1 one week later however this doesn't happen again for a year! ok anyway never mind- I mean one direction are a global force and will be forever so yeah.

good for camilas career tho!

Fair enough.
Yeah, 1D have easily been the biggest male group of the decade, maybe even the entire century.
Some good news about Camila though: 'Bad Things' kept at it's #4 peak on the Hot 100 this week & went atop the Pop Songs Airplay chart in the US! :)

Yeah, the fact that all of those people voted & that radio are supporting her like that is a good start for her! :)

that's cool!

Oh I just replied to you on Crown Note by the way! :)
Hey, you can always join me & Sunshine Gal on the Hot 100 articles every Monday night if you want to.

Hey Calum! I've noticed something strange on the Official Chart homepage:
An article has already been posted saying that Ed Sheeran's 'Shape Of You' has claimed a fifth week at #1, yet it's not midnight at the moment, so the songs should still keep being tracked for tomorrow's charts. The full Top 100 hasn't updated yet, but some of the Top 40 debuts & climbers have.
Anyway, it looks like 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever' & 'Be The One' are going to climb into the Top 10 which I'm very happy about. 'Big For Your Boots' debuting in the Top 10 though, not so pleased about that.
Also, Ed Sheeran's fifth week at #1 & #2 makes him break the record for the most weeks occupying the Top 2 by an artist. :)

Hi Piran, this was an update based on Thursday's sales flash that was posted in error. The updated story (along with the full Top 100) will be posted on Friday at 5.45pm :)

Thanks for the reply! I look forward to seeing the full chart tomorrow. :)

Oh piran, I'm gonna try and put up my latest chart on crownnote now. I'm really early!

Hey Calum! I hope your weekend is going well. :)
Well I'll head over to Crown Note to check out your chart right now. Did you see my Top 10 throwbacks of the week too? :D
Oh great review on the new Official Charts article by the way! ;)

no its not up yet but I'm doing it like it takes like 20 mins to do the stats thing and to type in all the songs. ill say when its done

That's fine! Well I look forward to seeing it. ;)

the chart is done! tell me what u think!

Awesome! Also, I should have a new #1 for the week after next. ;)

Digital Love finally made the Spotify uk top 200! its 193. hope it makes charts soon

I commented on the chart! I don't geddit tho- how can a song climb from 24 to #1 in a week? crazy ;) I mean up23 is my highest climber ever, by stressed out in march/april last year (35-12), followed by Faded up 21 (37-16) and Girls Like up 20 (27-7). all those were within 2 weeks last year! but having a large climber to no1 is unheard of in my charts (I would like up 2 is the largest climber to reach 1). but I guess it makes it all the more exciting!! ;D :)

Hey Calum! I'll head over to Crown Note & check out your reply. :)
Well here's the reason for that; most new songs are released on a Friday & I update my charts on a Monday, so unless I love the song at first listen, it probably won't debut in the Top 10. Most songs need to take at least a week to grow on me, so that's why they start off low in their first week for me & then climb a lot in their second!

Awesome! I think it might do what 'Starving' did & take a few weeks to become big. :)

hope so

Oh by the way, Hailee Steinfeld got one week at #1 in my charts in late 2015 with 'Love Myself' (actually debuted at #1!). Her other appearances are; 'Starving' (#2 peak), 'Rock Bottom' (#3 peak) & 'You're Such A' (#7 peak). :)

cool. shes only had starving for me (8 wks at no1) but the others are good too! what about nos and headphones? for me its like joint with love myself as her 2nd best solo track!

' Nos & Headphones' just missed the Top 40 for me, but now you've reminded me of it, it might just be able to reach a new peak soon! ;)

have u heard maroon 5's new song yet? it came out on Tuesday for some reason. it features future. its similar to don't wanna know in the way its like a grower. I like it!

and I love anne-marie's new song Ciao Adios too

this could be a really good week for new entries on Friday! so chained to the rhythm, solo dance has good streaming so might make it, and cold and ciao adios have strong downloads so at least the latter should make top 40! (as I'm not sure like 3 days is enough)

and digital loves back outta Spotify top 200 now btw ;(

AND theres a new kygo and selena Gomez song which sounds AMAZING!! and Bruno mars has a new song that's what I like which is gaining momentum! CRAZY week for new entries!

I haven't yet, but I'll certainly give it a listen soon.
I'm more excited for the new Kygo ft Selena Gomez song though. Apparently, Jax Jones said he is working with the latter artist too! :D

So where will we see 'Ciao Adios' debut on your next charts then? :)
Also, 'That's What I Like' by Bruno Mars might be heading for a Top 10 debut on my personal charts next Monday thanks to his Grammy performance!

Do you think 'Helium' by Sia can make the Top 40 too? That has very good sales (nearly Top 10 on iTunes). :)

Aw... I hope it re-enters again soon! I've not seen it on iTunes recently either. :/

never heard it but it probs will yeah especially as the soundtrack came put this week I swear so will get buys

both of those top 15/20

yeah it aint me's sick have u heard it

Loved it at first listen! I may need to hear it a few more times, but I think it could get at least a Top 10 debut on my Crown Note Charts for the Monday after next! :)

Awesome! Other songs that might go Top 10 in my charts soon are 'Chained To The Rhythm' & 'Love On The Brain'. ;)

Also, what do you think of the performers for the BRITs next week? :)
Some of the artists that have been announced so far include: Katy Perry, Emeli Sande, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Skepta & The 1975.

decent! but wheres camila cabello ;)

She could still be announced though. ;)
Even if she isn't, I'm sure 2017 is going to be an awesome year for her anyway!

hopefully ;)

I was joking anyway :D

Well she's popular on Capital, so maybe Summertime Ball? ;)

yeah quite probably ;) ill try and go if its at Wembley my dad works there ;D

Awesome! How many times have you been to Wembley before then? :)

4 I think. Senegal v mexico football Olympics 2012, QPR v derby play off final 2014 (I'm a QPR fan that was an amazing day), England v estonia euros qualifying last year (got those tickets free) and saracens v harlequins last year too. quite a lot I think! have u ever been before?

Cool! I've not been to Wembley before, but I have been to Twickenham once before to see England v Scotland in the rugby. I'll be seeing England v Italy there next weekend too! :)
Oh just as a quick update, 'It Ain't Me' by Kygo & Selena Gomez should easily be debuting at #1 on my charts for the week after next.

cool itll be top 10 for me defo. love incredible will definitely challenge for #1, it might not get there for a couple of weeks but itll get there in the end I'm sure. :)

oh piran just so youre ready the last 20 secs of love incredible are crazy. don't judge the whole song on that. camila doesn't do that bit. just so ure aware... ;) :):D XD:P all the faces possible ;)

Awesome! What's been Camila's longest #1 on your chart again? :)

I did hear a bit of it & it's not bad, but I think it might have to grow on me before I can say I like it.
Anyway Calum, I'll see you on the new Official Charts article later today mate! :)

well flex was 14 weeks and bad things 5 so far. that's all shes had :(

really? u don't really like it? oh ;( well I love it. I heard eds new song and its defo worse than soy and coth I think. itll probs grow on me but right now doesn't seem amazing

19 weeks is still very good though! Do you know which artist has had the second most weeks at #1 on your charts then? :)

Yeah, not really a massive fan at first listen, but I've said that about 'Black Beatles' & '24k Magic' before & ended up really enjoying both.
It's a shame that you don't like Ed Sheeran's new song though; I prefer it to 'Shape Of You', but 'Castle On The Hill' is still my favourite of the three! :)

not saying I don't like it, just dont love it. itll probs grow on me tho, like right now ive already forgotten the name and how it goes! ;) itll probs hit my top 40 but not top 20. shape of you still remains definitely my fave of the three!

That's fine! I might've asked you this before, but do you prefer the Hot 100 or the Official Charts right now then? :)

hmmm...well Justin timberlake has most weeks actually as mirrors was no1 for 2 and a half straight years!! but my chart was very static then; like the top 4 stayed same for like half a year!! since my chart had movement (2016 onwards), camila is the only artist to have 2 no1s. like cheat codes have hit 1&2, craig david 5,2,4&3... actually if features are included g-easy had 2 no1s in you don't own me and me, myself & I. however hes only had 3 weeks in those 2 combined. so id say its a tie between cheat codes and sigala (s3x and say you do) for 9 weeks each!

I don't actually know the whole hot 100 just some. but id say probs the official chart anyway- although bad things is way higher there. its gonna fall today aswell. ;( cos its now 25 on Spotify and 31 on iTunes. ;( ;(

love incredible 36 now on iTunes!! keeps climbing!! might make top 40 on iTunes next week if climbs further. sure hope it does!! even tho I'm not sure which will be no1 out of it and bad things... hmmm.

Do you think 'Love Incredible' has a chance at the Top 40 on the main chart though? :)

Yeah, it looks like 'Bad Things' has peaked in the US too, but it's cool that it reached #4 there. :)

yeah that's pretty good! I mean 16 is good too, I'm surprised it even hit there!

if it has good streaming. however, these days most songs except massive ones get popular on downloads first then streaming, so it may take a couple of weeks to hit even top 100. I hope quicker though! but big top 40 is enough to make my chart so the most important thing is that it hits one of them at least.

Awesome! :)
'Mirrors' was #1 on my charts for four week & then 'Not A Bad Thing' went to #1 for a couple of weeks too. :D
'You Don't Own Me' peaked at #8 on my charts, but 'Me, Myself & I' was at the top for one week early last year. Cheat Codes are a featured artist on 'Shed A Light', which has currently spent five weeks at #1 & 'Easy Love' was at #1 for Sigala for two weeks. ;)

Wow... Ed Sheeran's new single now has almost over double the sales of 'Shape Of You'! :O

cool! not a bad thing got like 15 weeks at no2 for me ;) it was static then. like ed's sing was the first song to break the original top 4 of mirrors, treasure, give it 2u and take back the night! that hit 2 in june 2014!! and I started a top 20 in October 2013 I think and it took about a month for that top 4 to begin! :) then not a bad thing was next no2, before staying on top 40 for over 2 years till late summer last year :D yeah, jt's last album was one of my faves! hope his next one is just as good!

I hope 'Digital Love' gains eventually, but right now it's still not charting on the Spotify Top 200. :(

actually yeah u remind me cheat codes have had a #1 and 2 #2s!

yeah ;(

WHAT?????? ok he is a superpower in the music world!!

Wow... you certainly liked JT a lot then! Well CSTF was my #1 song of 2016 by accumulating a total of seven weeks at #1, which is actually his longest #1 to date on my charts! :)
I can't think of a time when my chart was quite static, but there was a new #1 for like seven consecutive weeks throughout this time last year.

Yeah, he's just unstoppable right now! :D
I know this a very early prediction, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if 'Shape Of You' is the #1 song of the year for 2017 & '÷' is the #1 album this year.

cant stop the feeling hit #5 for me which is good, but it was by no means near my fave song of his. and tbh I'm really bored of it now. ;( I'm still working out my top songs of 2016 ill tell u when its done and put it on crownnote! I'm guessing cstf will be around 28/30!

what about his new song? yes divide will befo be biggest album- especially as it comes out early enough to get sales all year round!

What's the biggest drop that a song has had on your charts then?

His new song has a chance too, but I think 'Shape Of You' is looking more likely because it's the lead single. Will Ed's fourth album be called '-' or '='? I like his theme of mathematical symbols! ;)

yeah its pretty weird!! maybe have enough money to retire! who knows...

It was extremely overplayed, but it was such a great song in my opinion, that it doesn't matter how many times I heard it on the radio! ;)
I posted my Top 10 songs of 2016 on some of the Billboard articles back in December & I'll let you know if I can find them.

well after the afterparty fell 14 at xmas. xmas songs don't count tho as they always start low, climb high then fall loads again when 2017 starts! I had 2 xmas songs in my top 10 this year, santa tell me at #8 and all I want for Christmas is you at #10!

ok don't u remember? do u have a top 40 u can put on crownnote or anything?

Well Crown Note automatically constructs an annual leaderboard based on weekly charts, so my favourite songs of 2017 should be easy to determine. As for 2016, I'll try to add a Crown Note chart for that year when I have time. I know my Top 3 songs of last year were: CSTF (#1), 'Closer' (#2) & ITAPII (#3). :)

minell probs be flex, s3x and say u do but ive no clue what order! ;) I have my own points system and stuff!

solo dance didn't make the chart's top 40. ;( but ciao adios did ;)

will ragnbone man be no1

no- it would've been shock of the year if he was! even shifting castle on the hill is massive!

Yeah, I'd rather 'Solo Dance' made the Top 40 than 'Ciao Adios' did to be honest.
Happy to see Katy Perry debut at #7 though! ;)

Albums chart, yes. Singles chart, no. ;)

Did you see his album figures though? They were huge! :O

yeah I heard on the radio that he had 10 times everyone else in the top 10!

I said that literally 10 secs before greg announced it ;)

I like all 3. solo dance most tho

Yeah, he outsold the rest of the Top 10 & even had higher opening sales than '+' by Ed Sheeran & 'In The Lonely Hour' by Sam Smith!

Haha! Well do you think Ed Sheeran can replace himself at #1 on the singles chart next week? ;)

From most to least favourite, I would say: 'Chained To The Rhythm', 'Solo Dance' & 'Ciao Adios'. :)
