UK Top 40 Singles Chart, 22 March 2019 № 105
https://youtu.be/5bIjMaWagO8

Baby Shark slipped 35 (!) places in 1 week. A little surprising to see that it's no longer in the top 40.

Shotgun by George Ezra is still in the top 40? When is that song ever going to drop out the top 40 as it is getting old!

Another slow week for music

My thoughts & observations on the UK charts as always…

- ‘Someone You Loved’ by Lewis Capaldi is #1 on the singles chart for a fourth consecutive week. It accumulated 7.32 million streams across the country in the past seven days!

- ‘Walk Me Home’ by P!NK becomes the new #1 on the national airplay chart.

- I’m not entirely sure why, but ‘Sweet But Psycho’ by Ava Max returns to #1 on Britain’s YouTube chart. It increases 1% in views to 3.01 million, giving it an extremely narrow lead over ‘Someone You Loved’ there!

- MARSHMELLO & CHVRCHES – HERE WITH ME (#23)
It’s cool to see CHVRCHES get their highest chart song to date, although I agree with many fans of the groups in saying that this is far from their best! Lauren’s immediately recognisable vocals still sound out in this song & I think adding in the chugging guitars behind that makes a fine enough pairing, although this might be one of my least favourite drops from Marshmello yet. The combination of trap there along with CHVRCHES’ signature synth-pop approach just seems a bit messy to me. The content is mostly uninteresting too & I really wish this was a lot better, because it really could’ve been. The build-up & hook is enough to just about save this for me, so for that reason I’m giving this a light 6/10.

- AVA MAX – SO AM I (#30)
So as many of you know, I absolutely love ‘Sweet But Psycho’ & not only that, but I correctly predicted that it would take over the charts in the UK & in other countries! So, do I feel the same about this? Hmm… maybe not as much as I did last time, but it still shows potential for sure! The rhythm & even the melody to an extent don’t differ much from the song’s predecessor, but what is a notable change are the lyrics, which are about Ava telling us not to worry about being not fitting into a group & not letting your imperfections get you down, because she’s experienced that herself. Now, while she’s still a good singer, this doesn’t go anywhere near the range that ‘Sweet But Psycho’ did. I feel like while many people have compared Ava Max to Lady Gaga, ‘Sweet But Psycho’ was to ‘Bad Romance’ as this new song is to, say, ‘Born This Way’. So yeah, even though this might’ve been predictable to many, I still really like this overall! For me, solid 8/10.

- LIZZO – JUICE (#38)
Oh… I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks now! When I first heard this song, it sounded like a pop radio hit that crossed over from America (surprised it hasn’t charted there at all yet!), but you know what, I’m so glad it at least made an impact in Britain! A lot of this is to do with Lizzo herself, who not only has a soulful & fun voice, but she carries a ton of charisma & swagger here too, even if I think a flow is a bit too choppy at places. The production courtesy of Ricky Reed is interesting too, complete with vibrant guitar chords & even a three-piece horn section! I also like the lyrics about being proud of the way you look & dismissing the people who say otherwise by mocking them without throwing any insults back at them (it actually shows a lot of maturity). The whole song is mostly an 80s retro-funk throwback & sadly I don’t expect it to last for that reason, but in an ideal world, this would be a huge hit. Strong 8/10 for this!

- On the albums chart, ‘Singing To Strangers’ by Jack Savoretti debuts at #1 with 32,000 combined sales. It’s his first #1 on the chart!

- The rest of the Top 5 is: ‘Psychodrama’ by Dave (1-2), ‘What A Time To Be Alive’ (5-3), ‘The Greatest Showman [Soundtrack]’ (6-4) & ‘Bohemian Rhapsody [Soundtrack]’ (7-5).

- Looking ahead to next week, these songs could enter the Top 40 for the first time: ‘Baby’ by Giggs, ‘Naïve’ by The Kooks, ‘My Bad’ by Khalid, ‘Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind’ by Logic, ‘Fashion Week’ by Steel Banglez ft AJ Tracey & MoStack, ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ by Meduza ft Goodboys, 'Pretty Shining People' by George Ezra, 'I Can't Get Enough' by Benny Blanco ft Selena Gomez, Tainy & J Balvin, 'Bet' by Octavian ft Michael Phantom, 'Let Me Down Slowly' by Alec Benjamin & maybe even more.

- Thanks for reading everyone! I hope you all have a good weekend. :)
