Official Singles Chart on 10/8/2018

Technical fault. Please stand by. Click. Tick Tock. Whoosh. Kachook. Bzzzt. Error. Cannot Computer. Fault. Reboot. Stand By. Hard Drive Rebooting. Error. All Data Erased. Whoops!

:P

its back upto no.1 because its sales/streams are still increasing or steady. As soon as they drop 3 consecutive week it will tumble as ACR will kick in.
Personally i think someone's streams should only count once as sales only count once...rather than every week.
Don't forget the only reason it has been in the chart for 21 weeks is the song was streaming and hence charting before official release and it took a while to climb to the top in the first place - as songs used to do before downloads and streaming.....

Said in hindsight, the OCC and the streaming apps should have sorted this out back in 2014 when streaming was added to the chart. The whole chart is mucked up - songs are around too long. Also, with streaming and Youtube views it seems a bit too much favouring artists on bigger record labels. Just the impression I get. I doubt a guy on his own record label or someone else's tiny record label will get many YT views. "Record label?" That sounds old fashioned. Heh. Kids will ask "what is a record?" "Well, kids, it's a shiny black thing that reproduces sound". Their reaction: "Boring!"

I sense a rat, Colin Mccrory! 'Officially', George Ezra (a 'real' musician) has returned to #1... but the OCC don't recognise it.

Exactly.. so called official chart and they don’t even bother to update it.. ridiculous

"Due to a technical fault beyond our control, the latest charts aren’t showing on the site. We’re hoping to resolve the issue as soon as possible." - OCC on their Facebook page

Technical fault. You can view the top 40 on the Radio 1 site.

Indeed and I did that the moment I realised this wasn’t updated. But the whole point of this site is to view the entire 100. “Technical fault”. Probably more likely member of staff forgot to update singles and albums before knocking off for the weekend haha

How technical is it to publish a page on the web?

Exactly Paul... by the time it’s updated we will already be onto Mondays midweek chart.

It's a bit more involved than that Paul. When the charts publish, the process also re-crunches the numbers on each individual artist hub, weeks on chart, etc. Anyway, the latest charts are up now, enjoy!

they've had a technical problem so they can't upload it

How many music consumers do you think know or care about Boyzone, more than Drake or George Ezra

90s lovers very well know boyzone

I love Christine and the queens .. Lovin Doesn't Matter.

Well her style of pop music was big in the 2000s and early 2010s but it has basically died out now. It gets to #44 on sales, which is used more by older people, but doesn't chart on streaming, which is typically used by younger people and which is also used way more than sales. Therefore it gets a very low position.

I guess I am one of those older (50) people then.... I really love this song and play it all the time!

Her style isnt old.she refresh herself in Every work. Even old tiesto in top 10. He couldnt even dream this..She just doesnt collab with djs and rappers

me too! I play it every day !

No, just more dumb and complacent people have started listening to music. There have always been lots of dumb and complacent people

It has always been boring at this time of year, a lot more singles will be released soon

About 100 came out last week but this week I counted just 33
