DECIDER SONG: "You know I hate it when I'm left on read, but he make it all up in the bed."

Piran
Friday week is going to be terrible for me then! :(

upvote: kylie minogue

Damián
yesssz!!!! Upvoting Kylie forever!! Thanks mate for doing it. Its not I don't like Madonna, by the way they are 2 pop icons who survived 40 years in music biz, I dunno who of the new girls could last a career that way?

Someone can ask me this? if a song fell during week 8 and 9, the ACR will have impact in week 10?

Gonna share this one here too - it would be nice to see 220 Kid get another song in the charts https://youtu.be/yaq60jmDxwg
Reece Allen
I'm very late here but I never thought that Looking For Me would even hit the Top 20, despite it being a firm favourite of mine, and now its in the Top 5 🥳
Blank
Very little change this week: The same top 11 records as last week.

Hope this charts next week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58hoktsqk_Q

Hello everyone :D, I´m new here, I have a question. what do you mean with "ACR" ?
For other hand, I´m sad that One Day ( Un Día) is not in the chart anymore. Is a good mix of latin- reguetton pop song.
Saludos a Todos.
⁉️
ACR is basically where if a song has been on the chart for 10 weeks or more, and on a 3 week decline, the streams get halved.
I'm also sad One Day wasn't a hit, it really deserved to be.
Damián

what has gone on recently? XD
once upon a time, mateusz said he despised dance monkey, but now he likes it. how funny. also, a melanie martinez song has grown on me a LOT. 2020 has been weird.

I know I said that 'Lemonade' could be a future chart-topper for you, but given your reaction when 'Mood Swings' played on the chart show earlier, I think it might be #1 for a while after all! ;)

Thanks for the comment mate! :)
I never thought I'd see a Melanie Martinez song at #1, but then again, Mateusz now likes 'Dance Monkey', so it seems like anything can happen on here, haha.
I also love your: #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9 & #10, but I'll need to revisit #4!
Good choices.
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
oh, it wasn’t long ago that i said play date was horrible, but it’s really warmed to me and i think it’s her best since drama club! it’ll take a long while for me to actually like melanie as an artist, but that one is decent lol.
glad you like a majority of my top 10 though! :P
Piran
Oh yeah, I'd say I love eight songs in your Top 10! :D
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
that’s four fifths! ;)
Piran
Yeah, that shows how I much I love your throwbacks this week! ;)
Damián
well, this week has an entry one of the best pop track ever recor
ded in British pop history that is Ghost! Ella's first number one has always been my favourite. I also love My life would without you!! A powerful hit by Kelly Clarkson. Loved this week!
Damián
hey Coolo!, loved so much Feel the Love, John Newman is amazing, he deserves to be back on the charts again!!. And Brian Adams 'classic will always be a favourite
Piran
Hey Dami! :)
I'm really pleased to see such positive remarks from you regarding 'Ghost'! I knew you mostly love 80's or 90's pop smashes from the UK, so it's a pleasant surprise that you're loving one from 2014 too.
'My Life Would Without You' is indeed amazing, even if I'll always be mad at it for blocking my favourite song of all-time from #1, haha!
Damián
Thank you mate! By the way I love 80's and 90's UK hits but I also love music from the 00's, 10's and current music. I complain on current UK singles chart because it has developed more into rap/trap than pop, and I'm a crazy fan of British EDM/pop music
Piran
I'm more a pop & EDM fan myself, although the charts have definitely been more influenced by rap than ever before now! :P

Not me. It wouldn't be close to #10 if not for last week's ACR event. Sad since I like it. it deserved to be #9 at least seen as (ugh) Jason Derulo is there! I guess we're going to let any song go into the top 10.

The fact that Take You Dancing is above Midnight Sky is just 🤦♂️

Cameron
I think Mood could get #1 next week
Piran
I hope so! :D
Cameron
I hope so too
Piran
It was 1,350 combined sales behind 'Wap' this week.
Cameron
I'm sure it was closer than that during the week
⁉️
There's quite a good chance to be honest, although I'd rather have WAP until it goes on ACR.
Piran
I actually thought it was further away! Wasn't it like 2,100 combined sales behind on Wednesday?
Cameron
It might have been but I think someone said that Mood was above Wap on Spotify and iTunes or something
Piran
Yeah, but 'Mood' might've been trailing behind a lot on YouTube & Apple Music.
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
my review:
NEGATIVE:
- WAP gets a 3rd week at #1, despite being s*** imo. Mood is better and Ireland's #1... c'mon England you awful country.
- oh god Jason Derulo top 10 with another s*** song kill me now
- Fake Friends drops 3 out the top 20 when it is ACR next week. this was top 10 material, and instead of it getting to no 10, despite last week's ACR drop, it only got to #19. I mean, when WAP is #1 the chart is turned upside down.
- Say So fell out the top 100! :(
MIXED:
- Ain't It Different at #3. Nothing against it i love it but prefer Lighter, stuck at #4
- Head & Heart drops 1. XD
- GREECE drops out the top 10. would've left it, but when TYRanting goes top 10, GREECE deserves to be #1 XD
- Lasting Lover, despite being Sigala's best in years, stays at #27.
POSITIVE:
- Looking For Me at #5! future #1 you heard it here first
- Lemonade takes a giant jump - brill song :)
- Dermot Kennedy goes top 20 with a brill song well deserved and about time :D
- 'Hallucinate' at #31
- Tap In top 40! I don't want it #1 but top 40 defo...
- Tom Zanetti's new banger top 100.

honestly guys, even though there’s some bangers in the chart, i’m not gonna be here tonight. today was really horrible. also got a bit of a headache, so that’s not helping. i did not love a single bit of today. not one. i’ve tried so hard and people i know irl just refuse to help. what did i do wrong? that’s right, nothing. urgh, i’m too depressed to even continue.
see you tomorrow gang.

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (18/09/2020 - 24/09/2020)
🔴 (Negative)
1) ‘Mood’ might’ve closed the gap on ‘Wap’ again today, but it still wasn’t enough to go #1 this week. At least Ireland know what they’re doing, as the former managed to overtake there today!
2) I knew this was going to happen, but ‘Take You Dancing’ is now a Top 10 hit! I can only hope its sudden loss of momentum means that it won’t be here for long.
3) Not only that, but the song it’s replacing is ‘Greece’, which I’ve really started liking this week! Typical, isn’t it?
4) Both Juice WRLD songs have both gone on ACR! I’m mixed on Juice WRLD as an artist in general, but both ‘Wishing Well’ & especially ‘Come & Go’ are among the best hits of his entire discography.
5) ‘Cardigan’ didn’t return! Based on how much airplay it got from Radio 1 this week, I really thought it would come back.
6) A sixth negative… the most I’ve done in a traffic light review so far! This time it’s because ‘Folklore’ didn’t return to the Top 5 of the albums chart, while the early BuzzJack numbers were indicating that it might.
🟠 (Mixed)
1) ‘Loose’ is the highest debut of the week, even if it did drop a lot from both updates! I’m not all that surprised though. It’s not bad, but unfortunately, it doesn’t come close to ‘Rover’ for me!
2) I’m warming to ‘Lemonade’ slightly, but I just feel more indifferent than annoyed by it now! Still, with a climb of 20 places, it’ll probably re-enter the Top 10 next week anyway.
3) ‘Dance Monkey’ re-entered the Top 40 & it’s now one week away from spending an entire year in the region! On one hand, the radio are still way too obsessed with playing this, but on the other hand, at least I absolutely loved the song back when it was ruling the charts.
4) ‘Obey’ dropped massively! I knew this was coming given that metal has little or no longevity on the charts, but I think a lot of regulars here, e.g. Coolocelot & George, are going to be just fine with it leading, haha.
5) Doves got the #1 on the albums chart by a massive margin! Once again, I haven’t got around to hearing it yet, but I’ve heard from a couple of people on here that it’s meant to be really enjoyable, so I might check it out next week at some point.
🟢 (Positive)
1) The only positive point I can really mention as far as the upper reaches of the chart go is that ‘Looking For Me’ is now a Top 5 hit. It looks like it might be the highest charting dance hit by next week, which is a very promising sign!
2) While I’ll be extremely disappointed if it doesn’t get there, I’m excited to see ‘You Broke Me First’ just hovering beneath the Top 10 & that it could break into the region at any time.
3) ‘Giants’ actually moved up again this week, becoming Dermot Kennedy’s second Top 20! It’s always satisfying to see an underrated artist finally getting another hit & I’d like to see ‘Outnumbered’-level success for this one too.
4) While ‘Lasting Lover’ might be a non-mover, I was expecting it to drop a lot this week, so that shows much radio are getting on board with this awesome EDM banger!
5) ‘Tap In’ becomes Saweetie’s first charting entry! Lots of female rappers have been making huge breakthroughs in 2020, but I’m really pleased that this song passed through all the competition. Saweetie brings an energetic & charismatic flow, the underlying beat is really prominent & that hook is incredibly addictive! In a week where we’ve got an underwhelming song trying to do the same thing at #1, we really needed this. I hope we’ll be hearing more of this in the coming weeks!
Overall, yeah, between having a day filled with panic attacks & the news only further adding to my depression, I really could've done without such an underwhelming chart today! Oh well, there’s always next week.
Enjoy your weekend everybody! :)

I was hoping Fake Friends would progress even further after it finally cracked the Top 20 but sadly it's not to be. Also Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus, probably my favourite song in the upper reaches of the charts right now remains static. I'm fairly indifferent to Mood but it would make a far better #1 than WAP!

I agree with all your negative points. I would've put GREECE in negative but I thought it's had its run. I did point out that it deserved to be #1 if TYDying/Ranting/whatever else was top 10. WAP needs to be ACR next week and I don't even care if its under 10 weeks. It is literally making me depressed.
Tick Tock took a really small climb this week which I was well surprised at, and after a quick listen, I'm starting to like you broke me first a bit ;) so, while I don't want it #1 (Looking For Me can have a 10-week stint haha), I wouldn't mind it going top 10.
Also, how do you feel about Fake Friends which was 2nd week decline last week so probably ACR? :( I said top 10, it didn't. And I'm really sad about that.
Piran
Hey Jack! :)
Yeah, 'Fake Friends' appears to have stalled sadly, but at least 'Midnight Sky' stayed in the Top 10 & that 'Mood' is looking like a potential #1 for next week.
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
I agree! Fake Friends deserved top 10 but it just lost momentum. If not for ACR next week, it may have gone top 10! Mood defo needs to be #1 next week, or anything apart from CWAP or Take You Dying
Piran
'Wap' & 'Take You Dancing' just make me depressed anyway, so both of them falling down the charts soon would definitely help! :/
I'm hoping that 'Tick Tock' will get enough of a boost to go Top 10 next week & I'm really glad that 'You Broke Me First' is starting to grow on you now. :)
I'm absolutely gutted about 'Fake Friends' probably going on ACR for the next chart! :(

Tbh WAP is awful but a global 'hit' if that's what we can call it but who actually listens to Take You Ranting? apart from Capital FM i know no one who likes it, especially not the OCC regulars!
Piran
Yeah, unfortunately, 'Take You Dying' is one of those songs that crosses over onto the main charts because Capital FM will overplay it. Radio 1 certainly aren't so keen on it! :P

I have to retune my radio

I've got another negative... 'Say So' fell out! :(
Piran
I listen to mine through the TV! :)
Piran
Of the Top 100? That's not good! :(

ikr!

also Mood Swings climbed 4 places since Sunday XD
Piran
Hopefully it'll re-enter. :/
Piran
Yeah, it's one of those songs that bounces back throughout the week, isn't it? :P

Hey guy, I follow you for a long time and I decided to chat a bit. I totally agree, in France it is the same : a lot of airplay for jason's savage love and this morning I listened to the radio and...take you dancing...grrrrr...my favourite is surely tick tock by clean bandit...this song isn't played in France, hope it will^^ have a nice evening
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
I agree ;)
Damián
Always a hiper pleasure to read you weekly dear Pi !!
Piran
Thank you! It's always a pleasure to read your replies. :)
Piran
We agree on a lot of songs in the chart, don't we? ;)
Piran
Hey, how you doing? :)
Firstly, I'm glad you to hear that you've been following my reviews for a while now & that you're finally commenting directly on Disqus! Regarding Jason Derulo, 'Savage Love' at least has an addictive hook, but 'Take You Dancing' is just filled with terrible mixing & autotune. :/
I'm really hoping 'Tick Tock' will cross over to as many places as possible really, because here in the UK, it could be going Top 10 in the next chart. I hope you have a good week ahead! :D
Shadowcat222

Thanks anyway though! :)
