Official Singles Chart Top 100 on 8/11/2024

I go on strike quit listening again all due to the fiddling of the same old at Number 1-20 and I look at it this week on the written version and it's shifting a little not enough for my liking though they are still Top 20 past a 16 week Robin Hood boredom time limit on Top 20s though they need to stop the 16+ weeks in Top 20 and constant reentries of the same last years records over the new alternatives just to come out for the same artist on the Friday or whenever for me to be happy about it again.

It's the new music chart it shouldn't have out of date tracks on it unless it's an oldie on a 2024 official re-release not official same re-lease 1 year later fakes.

In their place some of the Heritage artists tracks from the Physical Sales should be in it. They are legitly 2024 tracks by the old artists more suitable to the modern chart than an oldie that isn't a 2024 remaster even.

When it gets issued in a film a digital single or singles pack normally comes out alongside it those are fine to re-enter as they are in fact new remasters not even the re-entry anyway but count as a new entry from 2024 as an old record but the new music from those artists should get priority over re-entries of any type.

As it Was and Mr Brightside and the likes shouldn't even be allowed to go sub 100 or sub 40 or even sub 200 again unless thee is a release on any of the services saying 2024 release on it.

That's why I quit it again until the guys up top put their rules right in favour of 2024 releases of remastered real legit reissue only oldies, 2024 new mixes, 2024 heritage tracks from physical and the best new music from modern artists without the re-entries by them stopping any chance of the most up to date track being on it. 

For example George Michael - Careless Whisper is fare gain for re-entire as it came out on Halloween day again in an official 2024 copy but My Brightside hasn't so it should be totally banned from re-entry for a good year.

Well,that time of the week has come around again -my 10 most recently played songs. You won't see any xmas songs here..not until another 3 weeks at least,if at all.

1: No one                                                        2 UNLIMITED

2: Nessaja                                                       SCOOTER

10: There it is                                                  SHALAMAR

I have a good feeling that "Bed Chem" will hit number one eventually and I don't want "Gangnam Style" to be the only number one hit by a Korean act in this country forever.

okay, the holiday tracks are flocking in batches now. i do like getting in the festive spirit, but im really bored of 90% of the christmas hits. then again, i’m 20 and my tastes are evolving so 🤷‍♀️ 

i found out about a my chemical romance cover of all i want for christmas is you earlier this year though, so that’s going on repeat! and of course i’ll be plugging christmas caller by beach bunny like i do every year because it doesn’t get enough support

honestly really glad labour was able to re-enter this week, I would love to see it back in the top 40 next week as a big f*ck you to the horrors america is going to face over the next 4 years. 

this website is borderline unusable now. i can’t even look through this website without a pop up ad! this website is starting to turn into those dodgy mp3 download sites we all used to use! except this website contributes nothing to those mix cds we used to create. sort the pop up ads out occ!

two thumbs up to the cure for running away with the number 1 album - i knew it would happen considering their legacy and this record’s acclaim, but very few comeback albums after so long are this good. slowdive and depeche mode are other acts who are in that exclusive club, but for now, well done to the cure and i’m so happy to have them back 🖤

see, this is why i don’t like being perceived as a chart follower.

at the start of the year, i was loving gracie abrams’ debut album, and was rooting for her to be bigger in the charts. i got my wish, and she’s now number 1 with her worst song to date.

if you don’t mind me, i’ll be in my lil corner streaming fault line. that should’ve been the hit.

well. Gracie did it 😩 I wouldn’t mind if it was I Love You, I’m Sorry (which I’d honestly consider good) but That’s So True is easily her worst song to date imo, her vocals sound atrocious on it

here’s a dozen songs i’ve been listening to this past week:

• kiss her goodbye - diva bleach
• apt. - rosé & bruno mars
• everything you need - billy & the kidz
• methatonin - destroy boys
• like him - tyler, the creator feat. lola young
• dark void - asking alexandria
• a fragile thing - the cure
• adore adore adore - sprints
• walk up - geordie greep
• reindeer games - oso oso
• angel in the snow - elliott smith
• donald trump is a f*cking c*nt - the kunts (appropriate considering horrific events rn, but i’d have still streamed this if kamala won)

that fall for Somedays.. ouch 💔

now that the Christmas classics are returning, I can officially start my campaign to get Underneath The Tree into the top 10 this year!! 

Here's my top 20 for the week

1. Shoplifters Of The World Unite - The Smiths (new number 1) (re-entry)

2. Girlfriend In A Coma - The Smiths (LW: 1)

Chart Review 08/11/24

Screw Elon Musk and everything he stands for.

Sorry, I know I shouldn't be plugging my political opinions in anybody's faces after the past couple weeks, and whatever farcicalities were going on in the Album Chart comment sections should also be wavered away as an argument no one needed to initiate, but it's kinda difficult to keep quiet after the USA elected Donald Trump for another 4 years of wacky hijinks. Not that I have anything against the most famous tan-man in the world, but it feels a bit suspect that a guy with a humorous mugshot is leading America to try and fix their problems or whatever. Either way, the moral of the story here? Never hire any famous musicians to carry your campaigns. Because now people are gonna look at BRAT (Collins word of the year by the way) in a bad light after Kamala Harris completely shafted it.

Obviously, the British chart hasn't been affected by this at all, but you really wish it did because THERE'S NOTHING NEW AGAIN. Apart from the No.1 slot, because Gigi Perez has the defensive capabilities of that Armenian team Chelsea played against last night, as she trades her chart-topping slot with everybody's favourite female singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams. Everbody's favourite. 😐 Ignore the fact that all of her hits seem to be a DIY spreadsheet of musical copyright (Close To You is reminiscent of Julia Michaels, I Love You, I'm Sorry sounds like Taylor Swift, us. actaully has Taylor Swift), and with That's So True casually giving her a No.1 single for the first time, you can totally appreciate just how easy it is to do bits in the charts these days. Just tour with someone famous and you're set for life.

Apart from that though there's little to talk about, the 2 new entries being the latest Weeknd song to creep out of the speakers and bore me to tears, Sao Paulo having Brazilian superstar Anitta to vaguely spice up the action (either that or the video put me off my drink), and one of the Tyler, The Creator album tracks being replaced by another one that doesn't sound as amazing. Good for Lola Young that she gets to terrorise the chart for the first time, but did Like Him really have to replace my personal favourite off CHROMAKOPIA? And over on the album chart it's a glorious day for supporters of The Cure as their first album since Comet was on the high street powers past all opposition to make the music scene as gloomy and brooding as ever. Even if I prefer Friday I'm In Love to anything off Songs Of A Lost World.

AMAZING TIER:

Charli XCX [24], Linkin Park [28], Chappell Roan [5], Shaboozey [25]

GREAT TIER:

Chappell Roan [17], Sabrina Carpenter [19], Adam Port/Stryv/Nice To See This Back In The Top 10 [10]

GOOD TIER:

Billie Eilish [18], Tate McRae [34], Sabrina Carpenter [9], Tyler, The Creator [27], Tyler, The Creator [16], Sonny Fodera/Jazzy/D.O.D. [30]

OK TIER:

Billie Eilish [11], Charli XCX (+ Ariana Grande) [32], ROSÉ & Bruno Mars [3], Tyler, The Creator ft. Lola Young [33] (Shame Noid dropped out for this, but I like it well enough I guess.), Gracie Abrams [1], Teddy Swims [8], Addison Rae [13], Sabrina Carpenter [7]

EH TIER:

Gigi Perez [2], Gracie Abrams [4], Noah Kahan [40], Lady Gaga [12], KSI ft. Trippie Redd [6], Ndotz [39], One Direction [20], Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars [14], Teddy Swims [15]

DISLIKE TIER:

Myles Smith [29], The Weeknd/Anitta [22], One Direction [36], The Kid LAROI [35], The Weeknd/Playboi Carti [21]

BAD TIER:

Hozier [37], BL3SS/CamrinWatsin/bbyclose [38] (The follow-up dropped today. Give them that 1-hit status with immediate effect.), cassö/RAYE/D-Block Europe [31]

AWFUL TIER:

Benson Boone [23], Teddy Swims [26] (These two have spent a combined total of 87 weeks in the UK Top 40. No wonder humanity is in a state right now.)

NEW ONES (and other things)

The Weeknd/Anitta - Sao Paulo [22] (Slightly better than Timeless, but why The Weeknd resorted to reducing his appearance in the music video to people's bellies is anyone's guess.)

Tyler, The Creator ft. Lola Young - Like Him [27] (It's alright. Probably wouldn't stand a chance on a TTC Greatest Hits compilation but what can you do, eh?)

Chappell Roan - Casual [47] (Pink Pony Club's on ACR, so this fellow ballad takes it's spot. And yeah, it's OK. Start making new music please.)

Paris Paloma - Labour [62] (Mid-table hit from last year, but back in the charts because politics is funny like that sometimes.)

Central Cee - One By One [69] (So when is this guy gonna start making GOOD rap songs again? Asking for a friend of mine who hates Central Cee.)

Shawn Mendes - Heart Of Gold [81] (I swear this guy's career has been in toilet since at least 2022. Bandwagon-jumping with this acoustic number isn't gonna change his fortunes I'm afraid.)

D-Block Europe ft. 9Goody - Won't Ever Know [85] (See Central Cee for more info.)

The Adventures of Stevie. V - Dirty Cash [100] (Taken from the same soundtrack as Milli Vanilli and Crowded House. It's also the only reason Sonny Fodera's in a career with what it sounds like.)

Bye. Mariah and Wham! have also re-entered at 58 and 61. More on them next week.

Off topic but Shame to see Kamala lose.

I’ve been following Anitta for a few years now so it’s cool to see her finally in the UK charts thanks to a feature on the new single by The Weeknd. Not among her best songs but it’s decent and I could definitely see it growing on me, even if the music video is kind of disgusting.

‘Like Him’ is a decent entry for Tyler, although I’m rather surprised about ‘Noid’ dropping out.

As for the returns, seeing ‘Stick Season’ here yet again is becoming incredibly tiresome…

Top 40 Rankings: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c23134814aa5d667239f718656ee9cb2bc585a400665701933016cd2f68b5623.jpg

Last Christmas is a dirge, will never understand it's popularity.

It’s kind of a shame that ‘Mantra’ is quickly falling down the chart.

I love ‘APT’ and I’m glad that it’s sticking around, but I think this might be one of the best songs I’ve ever heard by a K-Pop artist!

I like ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and 'Last Christmas', don’t get me wrong, but I think the second week of November is way too early for Christmas classics to be re-entering the chart.

I personally start listening to festive songs from the start of December.

Finally, ‘The Door’ entered the Top 10 and ‘Bad Dreams’ took a considerable jump as well. :) 

Speaking of the Top 10, I hope ‘Wildflower’ can make it into the region in the coming weeks.

Glad to see ‘Hot To Go!’ with a new peak again and breaking into the Top 5 for the first time.

Further down, I absolutely love the breakthrough for ‘Casual’. Another highlight from Chappell’s debut album and proof that she can ace ballads as well as upbeat pop. Would love to see this become another hit for her! 😊

So many re entrys
