Official Singles Chart on 17/7/2020

Yeah, we got so many this week. I don't think we'll break it for a while, but I think we can consistently get 1000 comments at least.

George, let’s do this then! ;)

Should be interesting

Should be interesting. What if a team member isn't on though?

My favourite Juice WRLD song, at least on Legends Never Die. I give it a 10.

Wait what?

It’s called ‘Folklore’ & it’ll have 16 tracks on it (potentially a return to traditional country?).

Definitely the biggest surprise of 2020 so far, but also one of the best ones! :D

Sounds good, I'm excited for it. Especially the one with the Bon Iver feature.

Yeah, an absolute massive suprise to me, although it does Cruel Summer will never be a single.

Oh yeah, I'm disappointed that 'Cruel Summer' will never become an official single, a new album this soon totally makes up for it! ;)

That's true, official singles aren't really that important anyway.

Excited for the album! :)

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced she kept 'Cruel Summer' as an unreleased track to make more people go out & buy the album!

If she had officially released it, then listeners would be more likely to just put the radio on or watch an official audio on YouTube.

Either way, I'm looking for tomorrow for many reasons, haha! :D

I remember this, was an absolute tune.

Good list. I'll post mine when it comes out.

Can’t wait to see them then. :)

Yeah, I'm surprised he only had one hit. Deserves far more.

Yeah, we haven't really seen anything of him in the charts ever since! :/

I think Savage Love will still be number one and Head & Heart will be number two unfortunately

Oh my god it's close. I really want Head And Heart to get it, just like I think it will.

Speaking of Joel Corry...

So I’m not sure if you’ve heard my thoughts on Pour The Milk, but that song was meh to me at best. The Joel Corry remix though, is amazing! :)

Man, Joel Corry is definitely becoming one of my favourite British DJ's between this & 'Head & Heart', haha! :D

According to BuzzJack & a recent OCC article, 'Head & Heart' has now overtaken it! :D

It would appear that 'Head & Heart' has passed it! :D

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/joel-corry-and-mnek-take-the-lead-over-jawsh-685-and-jason-derulo-in-the-race-for-this-weeks-number-1-single__30295/

I really like Head & Heart and I hope it becomes number one but I have a feeling I will become bored of it in a couple of weeks

If I ever become bored of 'Head & Heart', it's because I've been overplaying it on both YouTube & hearing in it too much on the radio.

As I'd currently rate it a 10/10, it would have to be literally inescapable for me to have any chance of getting tired of it, haha! :P

I've been streaming Head & Heart on Spotify a few times a day to try and get it to number one.

But in terms of overplayed songs, Blinding Lights was released in November and I'm still not bored of listening to that yet.

Haha, I'm also still loving 'Blinding Lights' despite its overplay! :P

Mate, I can’t watch this vid. It’s too devastating. 😭

That said, Happier is a great song.

Yeah I can't watch the video either

Good song, but the video is too heartbreaking to watch! :'(

I can't get over how adorable that puppy is! :)

I always just watch the lyric video instead

Also 'Happier' was Bastille's third #2 song in the UK after 'Pompeii' and 'Of The Night' in 2013. I hope they get a #1 single at some point.

The Lily Allen cover of Somewhere Only We Know is brilliant, sure, but it baffles me that Of The Night never got to number 1!

Yeah, that dog is so cute! 😊

Yeah Of The Night sold around 600 copies less than Somewhere Only We Know. I like the Lily Allen cover as I loved the John Lewis advert but I prefer the original Keane song.

I'll show you a photo of an even cuter dog tomorrow though! :)

Yeah, same here.

Juice Wrld!! :D

Okay, see you when I can, and thanks so much for getting this comments box to 1000 for the first time. :)

Bye Piran! Great song you posted as well.

I think we'll hit 1.3k or more this week as well, we just hit 1.1k right now.

I agree! :D

Then again, I don't think there's ever been this much discussion on a Tuesday night! We probably got almost as many comments tonight as we did back on Friday when the chart was posted.

Haha, I thought you'd appreciate that! ;)

You're welcome mate! Thank you too.

Yeah, yet another great summer song.

At least it isn’t No Promises lol.

Haha, yeah, I never hated that one, but it was a disappointment! :P

Haven't heard from them in ages. They need more hits, maybe even with this song.

I have tried listening to this song Cheat Codes is great producer but this one 3/10 I'm sorry Piran

No need to be sorry! We can't agree on everything, haha.

To be honest, I supported this one in particular more because of Kim Petras! :P

I hope so! :D

Besides, Kim Petras is way too talented to not have any hits.

Yeah, I'm shocked she hasn't yet.

I did see Malibu in the iTunes top 40 for a moment, but that only lasted a day.

'Malibu' has been selling decently as of late though, so I can only hope that at least gets her into the Official Chart soon.

Her only other hope at the moment is 'Broken Glass' with Kygo, given that his new album is still fairly recent.

That being said, he's too busy with 'What's Love Got To Do With It' & 'Lose Somebody' at the moment! :P

True i was going to ask you a question which artist would you listen to even if the song it's boring hahaha I have 3 artists even if their song is boring I love it haha

It could go popular on TikTok, or I see it being his next single.

For me it's Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug and Dua Lipa.

I hope so! :)

That being said, the very best tracks from an album always seem to miss the radio push they need, e.g. 'Levitating' from 'Future Nostalgia', 'Cruel Summer' from 'Lover', etc.

I'd say that Taylor or Camila could still impress me even if they released something boring, haha! :P

Billie Eilish, Halsey, Juice WRLD, and Eminem.

I actually prefer Good In Bed for Future Nostalgia and the title track for Lover, but the point stilt stands because they didn't get big either.

I knew that esp Billie haha!

Well for me is Normani, Khalid & Brandy! True rnb fan!!!!!

Only one I do from that list is Billie.

Halsey and Eminem aren't releasing good music right now for me, and Juice features on a load of absolute garbage.

I would add Dua too she's good actually all of them esp Kendrick Lamar I used to be obsessed with him

I still am, really hoping for a new album or at least something soon.

Coolocelot can you do me a favor please listen to this song called " Fever " BY TATUM she sounds like Billie Ellish she's from here South Africa and tell me what you think of it!

Lamar I'm hoping too , Kanye West is going to a president so maybe he might quit music haha

I don't think he will, he just announced an album actually.

Haha, that's why 'Love Lies' is your #1 song of all-time! :P

With 'Lover', I thought it was released as a single, even if it might've only been a promotional one.

Unfortunately, 'Good In Bed' is by far my least favourite track from 'Future Nostalgia' with a light 4/10, haha! :P

Yah from both of them yep as a collaboration I agree but it is close to number 1 haha

Did you mean to put that the other way round? :P

EDIT: Never mind, it's come up the way I expected now, haha!

Eh, the Sia song is alright, 4/10 or 5/10 from me.

Agree on Ego Death though, amazing song.

I find Together painfully cringy and irritating. Thank god for the ads when I posted the link.

Ego Death really is an amazing song, like a light 9/10. Now we need the Hot 100 to get on board with it.

I got confused lol.

Haha, me too! :P

Underrated

Definitely! It's aged so well for me too. :)

I remember hearing it on the radio and it took me months to find out the name of the song

Yeah, Kygo never fails to disappoint.

I honestly can't name one bad song from him! :P

Haha, I've had that before! It's so rewarding when you find out what the song is actually called though. :)

Yeah, Kygo is one of the best mainstream artists right now.

He's probably my third favourite DJ of all-time, after Avicii & Robin Schulz! :)

I think him, Avicii and Marshmello are my favourite DJs.

Marshmello's definitely deserving of all his success, but I'm not sure his DJ sets in clubs are up there with some of his peers.

A lot of his pop or mainstream hits are certainly on their level though, sometimes even above it! :D

Firestone is Kygo's best song imo

My 6th favourite song ever.

I actually despise Marshmello myself.

All of his music sounds the same to me, especially his hits.

His only good song is Project Dreams with Roddy Ricch in my opinion.

I was actually so close to posting that song instead! :P

He's probably Number 1 for me.

I think he's certainly going to stick around for a while! Maybe not as long as Calvin Harris or David Guetta have, but I think he'll still get hits for the next five years. :)

It's not my least favourite, but god it's awful.

Oh god no. Some dumb idiots in my school played it a lot just to p!$$ me off.

You haven't listened to this then! :P

Warning: Paracetamol is recommended.

This isn't "music", it's just really horrible noise! >:(

Yeah that's dreadful but I'd say Friday is worse

At least Friday was actually trying to qualify as music!!! :O

Honestly, 'Steal Her Man' makes Rebecca Black sound like Whitney Houston! :(

'Friday' is a light 3/10 for me, but 'Steal Her Man' is a -1000/10, haha.

This on the other hand, sounds like Friday was sung by Billie Eilish!!

Viewer discretion is advised.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2FsnVCLYcrM

3/10 is very generous

Oh, it's a really bad song, sure, but I think the hate Rebecca Black has got for making it is way too extreme to be honest, e.g. death threats.

Oh yeah the death threats were disgusting, it wasn't like she was deliberately trying to make a bad song, it just ended up being really bad and she was really young at the time

It's like 'Baby'... extremely cringeworthy, but I can't get overly mad at a guy in his early teens for making a song like that.

'Yummy' on the other hand... >:(

The less said about Yummy the better.

Haha, very true mate! ;)

I think I hated every Justin Bieber song before his Purpose album but after that he started making some decent songs (apart from Yummy)

'Purpose' is definitely his best album, although 'Changes' is also by far his worst! :P

Yeah. I think it's justified though, it's a huge milestone for the comment section.

Definitely! :D

I'm personally very proud of this achievement, especially now that I'm into my fifth year of commenting here, haha.

Wow that's a long time. How long have you kept up with the charts in general?

I've kept up with it ever since I can remember.

I've been following the charts most week since 2010/2011, but I didn't comment on this site until April 2016. :)

Was there even anyone else back then?

I started following the same time, although I hardly have any memory of it.

Yeah, but the articles got like... 10 comments each week, haha.

Great tune.

Haha, I love this song! :D

Yeah, this deserves to be a hit. Great tune to continue the party!

The title is how long it felt to get there. 😂

Yeah haha

Even though it took five days haha.

I meant throughout multiple charts, not just this one.

So you guys finally reached a 1,000. That is really awesome.

Yeah, hopefully it can become a regular thing there! :)

It's looking good though, given that we're well over 1300 on that thread currently.

Absolute tune. Great summer song, 9/10 from me.

10/10!! :D

19, ready for some bangers? ;)

18! :D

Yes, I am! I've got a few lined up myself, haha.

Baby I got your back, like we’re still 17...

We're still counting stars, like we were 16! ;)
