Official Singles Chart on 16/4/2021

I agree that the original is better, but I still really like this version.

At least it’ll climb a lot from it. :)

Block them and do your best to ignore them lil’ mate. When I read that other post I thought maybe you change your name or something

I reported and blocked out user. It’s not what’s his name from the 80s right?

no, this place is a target to impostors. thanks for blocking and reporting him.

Is it what’s his name from the 80s??

frank? no, doesn’t sound like him at all.

Oh 👌 ok

And you shouldn’t do anything to yourself just because someone is being a jerk. Just block them so that way you don’t see them posting on here anymore, I wouldn’t give that idiot the satisfaction that he got under your skin

Sugababes were for me the best female group..but destiny's child were nearly as good but without forgetting my fav of all time: the SPICE GIRLS!

ETERNAL were huge back in their days: very talented girl band with r'n sound....i love MISTEEQ; do listen to SCANDALOUS: amazzzzzzzzzzing song: it cracked the The US Top 40 if i am right?

Uh....? Never heard of them. Do you know what year that track came out? If they made any splash in the United States it was very brief because I personally have never heard of them.

Trying to think...(i’m using my microphone feature and sometimes my posts might be repetitive or come out funny sorry!). The only UK girl groups come to mind that have been on the charts in recent yrs that I can think of are Little Mix, the Spice Girls Cleopatra and bewitched as far as I know

Sugababes....? Never heard of them 😆. Definitely send me some tracks I should check out. I wasn’t into the Spice Girls at the time but I can’t lie they did amazing on the Billboard charts over here. Destinys child is def one of my all-time favorite acts but my all-time favorite female group on the hot 100 chart here in United States is TLC. TLC would be in the top 10 for months over here.

Eternal was a British R&B girl group formed in 1992 with the line-up consisting of Easther Bennett and her older sister Vernie Bennett, with Kéllé Bryan and her friend and classmate Louise Nurding (now known as Louise Redknapp), who were also recruited into the group by the label. The group became an international success, selling around 10 million records worldwide. Louise Redknapp left the group before the release of their second album to focus on her solo career with the same label. Kéllé Bryan left the group under undisclosed circumstances in 1998. Sisters Easther Bennett and Vernie Bennett were the only members left when they disbanded in 2000. Eternal made a brief comeback in 2013, with Kéllé Bryan returning to the group, only for the group to disband once again in 2014. They were considered the UK's answer to the American girl group En Vogue.[1][2]

Eternal's 1993 debut album Always & Forever peaked at number two on the UK Album Chart and went four-times platinum in the UK. In 1997, they reached number one on the UK Singles Chart with "I Wanna Be the Only One", which won them the 1997 Mobo Award for Best Single. They also received seven Brit Award nominations. In total they achieved 15 UK Top 20 hits between 1993 and 1999, with their other Top 10 hits including "Stay" (1993), "Just a Step from Heaven" (1994), "Oh Baby I..." (1994), "Power of a Woman" (1995), "I Am Blessed" (1995), "Someday" (1996), "Secrets" (1996) and "Don't You Love Me" (1997). The group reformed as a trio without Louise Redknapp in 2013 for the second series of the ITV2 reality show The Big Reunion, and performed a one-off concert In March 2014.

Really?? They release any singles at all over here? This is the very first I’ve ever heard of them

I Keep forgetting you can’t post videos if you’d like you can on the headline planet page 🤣🤣. I posted some vids to you and the others and unfortunately the posts are still pending

I tried to send you a pink video unfortunately it didn’t load up but my favorite song by her of all time is get the party started. At that time she was constantly in the top 10 on both charts I had her album back then it was pretty good

See in 1997 over here the Spice Girls were still very big. I do remember Cleopatra making a brief splash over here I think bewitched. In 1997 a lot of US artist like Mariah Carey we’re doing good also Céline Dion was very big during that time over here

I’m listening to scandalous right now, I don’t remember it over here at all. I don’t recall them ever going on TRL, such a shame! It’s pretty good. In 2003 and 2004 when this single was out artist like Justin Timberlake and Usher were very big over here

Scandalous peaked @ #35 on the hot 100...Trying to think who else was big over here during that time. trying to think who else was big over here during that time . I believe Britney and Alicia Keys also had a number of hits during that time. I’m re-listening to the track and it doesn’t ring a bell for me.

It was always hard especially back then with no streaming for international artists competing with the US artists. Was Mystic really big in the UK?

Tell me some tracks of theirs I should check out

And I’m addicted to scandalous!!! 😁😁🔥🔥🔥.

Def tell me tracks of eternal I should Check out, I’m a lifelong pop and R&B fan 🔊🔊

I’m listening to stay by Eternal they’re only US hit and I do remember it!!! 😁😁👍👍. I’d have to look back on the hot 100 chart but in 1993 Janet Jackson was very big on the chart so is Mariah Carey

i love their voices and the video is top notch!

Always loved MARIAH and still do but never was fond of Janet tbh...

FREAK LIKE ME and PUSH THE BUTTON (MY FAVORITE), ROUND, ROUND, TOO LOST IN YOU and HOLE IN THE HEAD...enjoy

I’m off on Thursday so I have a little bit more time to check out those tracks but definitely thank you.

I’ve been a hot 100 fanatic for many years and in the 90s if I had to pick one artist that dominated that chart it’s definitely mariah

I promise I’ll come back on Thursday and I’m going to look back on the hot 100 chart and see what happened why scandalous wasn’t a bigger hit 😉😉. Sounds hot to me! 🔥🔥

I relisten to stay and I def remember it from back then 👍👍

I love TAYLOR DAYNE: i know she was huge in the USA but only had 1 big hit in Europe!! no idea why..she is so talented

Oh yeah I had her album back in the 80s. She only had a few hits but back then there was so much competition that many artists just had one big album or a few big hits and that would be it.

I def Remember love will lead u back on the radio. 💕💕. Well same with US artists like Mariah Carey and Whitney, I can’t believe they only have a few number ones in the UK and over here they got stacks of number ones

She’s done some reality TV and then on some 80s tours over the years but I haven’t heard much about her since the 80s

1D

Well ZAYN was the first to leave 1D, he threw a diva tantrum and though he had some initial success through dusk till dawn and pillow talk, he’s not really getting anywhere at the moment.

Then the rest of the band split in 2016 (?) and now Harry is the only one with any real international success, Louis and Niall dropped albums last year and were still waiting on liams second album.

LM:

Little Mix are still actively releasing music as a group, however on December 11, 2020 Jesy left the group due to the pressures of negative media and being compared to 3 other girls.

It was quite fitting that Sweet Melody, the final song recorded for their 6th studio album, went to number one at the start of the year as it was the last song they recorded with Jesy, even before NTFT.

Little Mix have confirmed a new mv will be out soon, the first without Jesy, and Jesy is in the studio with past LM writers in hope of a solo career

Well what I heard of Zayn he did OK over here he had a single and album debut at number one but quickly fizzled out. Also I heard that he would at the last minute not perform at gigs. Which isn’t good because then the record label isn’t making any money off of him.

Any UK boy bands out right now? Because I was really rooting for One Direction to be up there with the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC over here and it just didn’t happen for them

As my best mate piran will tell you I’m using my microphone feature but I wear 2 maskS at work so sometimes my posts come out funny 😆

It might just be because it’s a good song. I’ve not heard it so idk, but not everything has to be viral tiktok lol

It is probably one of my fave songs of all time tbh which is why I was asking. I have followed him and listened to other songs but nothing comes near the passion and build up in 'another love' it really is amazing, at time of release was shadowed by passenger's 'let her go' as was similiar genre although totally different tracks. He released a new track 'monster 2' last week but none of his new releases have charted lately, they are OK in my opinion but nothing compared to 'another love' hope something viral has happened to it so it can have another blast at the charts!

And obviously, OMG by Ethan (that’s a joke cus that’s me)

Are you an independent artist (LOL)

if you're talking about the u.s. female act pink, you should've seen her on the hot 100 back in the day! i have lots of great memories of her getting top 10 hit after top 10 hit.

hi there...i do remember as well..great memories..she is a very talented singer but i just didn't like much her last 2 singles...your favorite song? i just love JUST LIKE A PILL!

It wasn’t wrong, it just fell throughout the week

Is this in your opinion or accurately by using a Crownote-esque system? 🤔

It's clearly a points based system. 75 points for no.1, 74 for no.2, all the way down to 2 points for no.74, 1 for no.75.

I played it out of curiosity being a new hit, and lyrically, it is a bit grim!

i quite like her tbh, her songs can be kinda unsettling but that’s what makes her unique. same goes to billie eilish.

i really enjoyed daisy and deal with it, but slumber party is meh.

I have no problem with her just that she creeps me out. The name of her new album is called "Demi Devil"

She's like a singer and rapper version of Melanie Martinez crossed with Ke$ha ... not my cup of tea.

Idk, there’s a whole ashniko aesthetic and I really like how she and her fan base just share this almost inside joke about her fake alter egos. Her music also really stands out to me because it is a cross between singing and rapping but it’s done so differently to other artists that it’s hard to tell the difference, and her music slaps too IMO

I think her track 'deal with it' had the best lyric of this year without a doubt, especially after hearing the first line of the song - I dont need a man I need a puppy, the lyric is 'I don't need a man I need a rabbit' with some great noises in the background proper makes me chuckle

An artificial system of speeding up the chart where the streams of old hits count less than the same amount of streams of a newer record. The exact formula of which I forget.

ACR (accelerated chart ratio) means that when a song over 10 weeks old has been on decline in sales for 3 weeks, it takes twice as many streams to equal a sale.

IE.

Deja Vu, not on ACR:
600 streams= 1 sold unit
Drivers License, on ACR
1200 streams = 1 sold unit

Basically, the reason Drivers license didn’t get 10+ weeks number one is because some fat guy in an office doesn’t want UK charts to be more “boring” than other countries, so that was introduced around the ‘Shape of You’ time I think. The chart rules are absolutely stupid. Did you know an artist can only have 3 songs in the top 100? This is meant to be the official charts. But it’s just another way of ‘The Man’ manipulating and ruining what’s good in life.

Okay, thanks so much

'Way Too Long' or 'Lingo'? Because I'm not really a fan of the former sadly & I've never heard of the latter, haha. :)

No offence but I thought you were an impostor at first lol

who, me? not an imp. i’ve just changed my pfp to psychodrama. :)

LOL!

-1/10! OK it's overplayed as heck and it's tiring, but come on, it deserves MUCH better than -1

sorry, i hate every abysmal second of it. :I

doesn’t help that i had to pretend to like it on first listen.

Don't agree with you one bit, but it's your taste of music, and I'll respect that

thx, i respect your opinion too ✊

happy birthday!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Happy Birthday mate

thanks a lot rector! today is great.

thanks! have a great day. :)

I'm so glad to hear that! :D

Happy Birthday!

thanks mate! :)

Sorry its late, been working all weekend but happy birthday Coolocelot

happy bday lil' mate!!! so you were born in 2004? that was a BOMB a** year on the hot 100!! i vividly remember usher dominating the top 10 all that year.

but i still think you're a baby though ;) believe it or not, the very first time i ever saw britney spears and justin timberlake on the hot 100 they were the exact same age as you....time sure flew by!

Happy b day!!! You are such a little boy!!!😄😄

Sorry to be late coolocelot! but wish you a great 17th birthday!! Hope you ate a nice cake...enjoy...

thanks thierry! my cake was nice. :))

haha, i am quite young still. thanks for the bday wishes! :))

thanks sunshine! 2004 definitely seemed like a blast for music and the charts.

Oh yeah on Thursday I have the day off so I’ll come back over here and do some hot 100 chart retrospects of 2004. I’m on my break right now and luckily I don’t have to keep wearing my masks 😂😂😂

thanks very much rob! :)

hey marco!!!

Hello Sunshine!! How have you been? 😁

hey buddy! had a minor power outage over here earlier...i wanted to be on the official singles page earlier, but had to wait for my wi-fi to be back on.

Glad it's back on. :) Have a good weekend. :)

this was a lot of fun indeed, and i’m happy to see someone else who doesn’t like didn’t know, even if you want me was way worse.

I still like Wellerman, Astronaut In The Ocean, Beautiful Mistakes, Heat Waves and even Shy Away but I agree, Didn't Know suuuuuucckkssss !!!

God, I hope not.

It probably will closer to summer

it was number one in Australia recently. still in top 5

yeah i saw that, 6 weeks as well

So much for the First Look giving us hope that it will go up every week! That, like most of Max's other songs, deserves so much more

Yeah, #19 always seems to be Ava Max's unlucky number, since 'Kings & Queens' peaked at that position too! :P

She'll break the curse, hopefully :)

If anything, at least 'Sweet But Psycho' was a #1 hit for her! ;)

Four weeks in the last five, and five of the last seven, but only three in a row; not quite a whole month. Admittedly, it's only moved between #18 and #22!

It is so annoying when someone you like only has one top ten but struggles to go on the top ten with another song.

Sometimes it takes a long time for a song to go on the Top 10 so we will have to wait and see if it will be in the Top Ten.

What does that mean?

It is just not fair.

It might be just on the Top 10 you know if only it was promoted often. I feel like Atlantic Records are sick of her songs being on the Top 20 all the time and might want to push for more promotion but I probably guarantee that won't happen.

People are going to think that Atlantic Records don't care. Seriously, they need to push more promotion on the song because if they don't, then they are going to waste chances of the song being big because honestly if more promotion is coming then I can tell you it should go on the Top 10.

It is just stupid now, Atlantic Records need to do something about it and maybe release a vertical video of the song.

Let's hope it will get a new peak next week such as #15.

It's funny you say that. Rick Beato on Youtube commented the same thing about Warner Music Group (which Atlantic is part of) not caring for their old catalogue being promoted for free (i.e. blocking his review of one of their songs in "What Makes This Song Great" series, which had personal approval from the artist - Joni Mitchell).
They have also been notorious on Youtube for withdrawing songs for copyright grounds, which seems odd as it's the publicity they get on social media that promotes their catalogue to a new generation.

If they want to kill off their catalogue by locking it in their copyright vault, I guess that's up to them!

I don't want them to kill off that song yet because I think it hasn't reached it's peak yet. I know there has been some other songs that had taken a long time to go on the Top 10 so I think it could be kinda likely that this will be the same for this song. I don't know but I am assuming that anyway.

LLLLLLLLLLol What does that tell you Maybe it will go down one place this week

https://media2.giphy.com/media/4B8CbYrV3XjrO/giphy.gif

It’s definitely one of my favourites from the album, although I’m pretty sad that it’ll probably fall next week. :(

Yeah, but at least it debuted in the Top 40! :D

I was worried that it wouldn't make it, since her last single failed to enter the region.

Justin Bieber's new songs are really boring, I just don't understand why people are not done with him yet like I am.

Yeah it’s really frustrating how he seems to dominate the chart while better artists like Marina and Rina Sawayama fail to even enter

I like Peaches and Hold On but the rest have gotten kinda old especially "holy" & "anyone"
