hey what's up everyone!

I hope Cheryl and Katy make a good impact in the charts!

iTunes is shutting down in the next few weeks and being merged in to a brand new Music app from Apple. It'll tie in well with Apple Music and provide both download and streaming services alike Tidal. It will be very interesting to see the impact of iTunes shutting down.

What's even more interesting, is that one of the main competitors for the Official Charts (the Vodafone Big Top 40) relies completely on iTunes and Apple Music to provide for their charts, and with only 15% radio airplay in their algorithm.

My thoughts & observations on the UK charts as always...

- 'I Don't Care' by Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber remains at #1 on the singles chart for a third week in a row. It accumulated 83,500 combined sales this week (including 10.9 million streams). However, that's only 1,300 combined sales ahead of its nearest competitor!

- 'Me!' by Taylor Swift ft Brendon Urie spends its third non-consecutive week atop the national airplay chart.

- 'Old Town Road [Remix]' by Lil Nas X ft Billy Ray Cyrus dominates Britain's YouTube chart for a sixth week in total. The release of the official video for the remix version gives it an 86.4% boost to a massive 7.01 million weekly views!

- ED SHEERAN FT CHANCE THE RAPPER & PNB ROCK - CROSS ME (#9)
I'd been wondering when Ed was going to back to his urban side for a while now & with the second single for his upcoming collaborations project, it looks like that finally happened! Unfortunately though, while it's still okay, it doesn't hold up to the original to be honest. While many critics have called out the production here, I actually like the bubbly beat & groovy bass, while Ed & Chance continue to have enough charisma to carry this into an entertaining enough tune. That said, I really don't like how the lyrics come across as so over-protective to the point where the trio seem rather clingy? Also, PnB Rock opening the song so monotonously doesn't exactly give a strong first impression, even if his vocals are actually sampled from a freestyle. Overall, there's a lot of potential here, but sadly, it's only partly fulfilled. As such, strong 6/10!

- NSG - OT BOP (#17)
It might've taken literally a few weeks, maybe even a couple of months, but despite a negative review for 'Options' when it charted here, I think it's alright now. I've got to hope this new song of theirs can also grow on me slightly, because right now, I'm just not interested. Okay, one thing I can give NSG credit for is that despite having six members, their songs never feel like they're too long... just a shame that nobody outside of maybe Kruddz on the hook sounds like they care at all here! Yes, the hook is groovy, the content is somewhat playful, but the production from 4Play & JAE5 has seriously gone downhill here compared to their last hit! Again, I'm not ruling out the possibility that I can eventually see the appeal to this, but right now, it adds nothing I care about to the British rap scene. 4/10.

- YOUNG THUG FT J COLE & TRAVIS SCOTT - THE LONDON (#18)
This is one of those few songs where I didn't know what to expect going in & I'm also not sure how I feel coming out for it either. I was particularly impressed with how grounded Young Thug is while also switching up his flows with ease, even if he wailing in the second verse is also very off-putting. As for his collaborators, well Travis Scott sounds the same as always with excessive yet not annoying auto-tune, but J Cole appears to be really focused & motivated here, which might've worked better if the content actually stood out (which it doesn't!). I do at least like the blend of the gentle whistle over the trap beat, so for that, I'm thinking a very light 6/10.

- 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER - EASIER (#29)
Despite me going on a short holiday earlier this week, I've just been very behind on catching up with a lot of new music lately. However, this 5SOS comeback was definitely near the top of the list for songs to check out when I got back & I'm certainly pleased with this one! I love the general '80s pop-rock throwback vibe, Luke Hemmings has a gentle & fun falsetto, but it also shows the mature side of the group once again. It's clear that the relationship they're involved in is toxic & they accept that if things can't change, it'd be easier both of them to go they're separate ways. Yeah, it's also clear that they're going for another big pop radio smash with how safe it is, but that's also how you get a song with a dark subject matter to be accessible. Yeah, like I said, I'm happy these boys are back! Strong 7/10 at the moment.

- JESS GLYNNE & JAX JONES - ONE TOUCH (#31)
I was expecting this to enter the chart a lot higher this week to be honest, given how much traction Jax Jones has been getting as a DJ recently & Jess Glynne has just been smashing records over the past few years. That said, what I'd take more is that the song is actually mostly good! Jess knows how to sound full of life in songs that capture that moment of excitement of love & when you combine that alongside the piano line & warm build-up from Jax (who's really grown on me a lot lately!), you get a song that I could totally see being an early summer smash & it's one that'll be on my playlist too! For me, this is a strong 8/10 for now.

- SIGALA & BECKY HILL - WISH YOU WELL (#39)
I guess it's fitting that as summer approaches, Sigala finally gets another hit despite falling a bit short recently & yes, I do think this'll climb in the coming weeks. Although, like the last song I reviewed, I could see this getting played in a ton of places going into June! Sigala has more of a knack for a piano melody here, but that's more down to the chords rather than the individual notes. Becky Hill also brings even more passion than Jess Glynne this time & since the latter is one of my favourite singers of the decade, that's really showing how much I'm getting into this song! It doesn't stand out when I look back at the rest of the summer anthems Sigala has released, but that still doesn't mean it's awesome. Strong 8/10 for this too!

- On the albums chart, Lewis Capaldi spends a second consecutive week at #1 with 'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent'. His debut album is still outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined!

- Speaking of which, the rest of the Top 5 this week is: 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' by Billie Eilish (stationary at #2), 'The Greatest Showman' [Soundtrack] (7-3), 'California Son' by Morrissey (debuts at #4) & 'Rocketman' [Soundtrack] (debuts at #5).

- Looking ahead to next week, these songs could enter the Top 40 for the first time: 'Never Really Over' by Katy Perry, 'Let You' by Cheryl, 'Shine Girl' by Mostack ft Stormzy, 'Press' by Cardi B, 'Find U Again' by Mark Ronson ft Camila Cabello, 'Ritual' by Tiesto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora, 'Bruises' by Lewis Capaldi, 'Truth Hurts' by Lizzo, 'What Do You Mean?' by Skepta ft J Hus & maybe even more.

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

I wonder if Cheryl will do it next week.

UK Top 40 Singles Chart, 31 May 2019

https://youtu.be/F9iuYSgxRSI

Oh for goodness sake. Baby Shark has re-enterted the top 100 at #92. When will people ever stop listening to it.

I was definitely expecting a close race for #1 this week, but I think ‘Old Town Road’ might reclaim it next Friday if the remix video for it holds up well enough!

Good to see ‘Cross Me’ debut in the Top 10, along with ‘If I Can’t Have You’ returning to the region.

My usual full review of the chart should be up later today or tomorrow! ;)
