Marina is great. Loved Radioactive. Such a great driving tune.

I love Radioactive too. Great dance song so. So is Living Dead and Power and Control.

Niall there are so many great tunes from Marina. Was quite disappointed by the second half of the last album though. Orange Trees was quite nice. But Valley of The Dolls is a great tune. You inspired me to dig out some of the older stuff. Cheers for that!

Lol. I got down-voted by some girl who didn't understand the comment because she obviously isn't old enough to actually drive a car that isn't made by Fisher Price. Ha ha ha ha

Then there's me who literally cheered at its departure from the Top 40, haha. :)

I’m so glad it’s gone. :)

it will be dearly missed. 🙏

I agree so much, even though it’s only like a 6/10 or 7/10, it would be so nice to have something different. :)

Don't stoop to his level

Love "we've lost dancing" ▶️▶️▶️

This is one I haven’t seen before. :O

I kinda agree, although most of those artists are quite irrelevant now (especially 30H!3, most of their stuff is awful).

because its the second most streamed song of the week

very little movement in the chart right now unfortunately

most stagnant chart i’ve seen since that week last year when the highest debut was at number 92...

Although it was on the album chart in the 80's, I've seen the highest (only) new entry be at #99, not counting new year charts where they either don't publish a new chart, or it's full of re-entries.

Your Power (8/10)
I Did It (6/10)
Big Paper (4/10)
Confetti (2/10)
Last Night (5/10)
Love Race (0/10)
Please (9/10)
Without You (-1/10)
Choker (4/10)
Oblivion (2/10)
Die For A Man (5/10)
Kilometre (7/10)
Ramen & OJ (-1/10)

BEST: Please
WORST: Ramen & OJ

Frank come back, we need to hit 1000 again. 😩

I miss that so much, the last time was the week Frank was kicked out the server.

we haven’t hit 1k since october... ;(

It’s fun for me at this point, to be honest. :)

God I hope not, that Spotify ad has traumatised me. 😩

lol

Very unlucky :D

i agree - shouldve been top 20 at the very least

I mean she is performing at The Brit Awards so I am sure the song will go back on the Top 40.

lol:

Heat Waves (-2/10)
Astronaut In The Ocean (-2/10)

BEST SONG: none
WORST SONG: both
PERCENT: -4%

About time! :D

BTS’s is better. 🤭

And I don’t even like it...

It is one of the lowest debuting songs.

I predicted a bounce back, but didn't expect it to be that quick. Am hopeful now it will make Top 20

It’s the kind of song that I could see being used in a lot of trailers for popular TV series, as well as getting massive promotion on the radio. :)

I don't like recurrent and ACR rules on Billboard and UK Official Chart. Songs should be allowed to shine until they fade by lack of public interest. Billboard will remove the song literally from the chart. Like kick it off.... Lol

I can understand with Billboard's recurrent rules, since the songs are minor hits by the time that they fall off the chart & they've already peaked in performance in almost 100% of cases, but ACR can kill off songs that are already among the most popular songs in the Official Chart for that week. :/

True :(

But sometimes I have never heard certain songs when they peaked. And might enjoy them for the first time they so kindly got kicked off... Lol

Yeah, I'd rather have songs stick around in the Top 40 for months on end than ACR for the three songs rules! :P

So is it best for songs not to chart until they get released as singles with ACR? How do you get multiple No. 1 's on a popular streamed album? ACR seems to discourage that. Do it quickly or times up?

Songs won't be placed on ACR until they've charted for 10 weeks & declined in performance for three consecutive weeks, so I don't think that'll work anyway! :P

At least it caused a solid 0/10 song ('Don't Play') to fall this week though, haha.

So after 10 weeks if the song isn't declining... It's still OK?

Yeah, then it stays off ACR. :)

I actually really enjoyed this chart. No song fell ridiculously except for"Don't Play". All the good songs climbed and the popular songs retained their spots or climbed as well.

Sorry but good gracious need for it to be more knocking old songs off No song should be on a whole year.

Thanks Piran. 😎

Does Save Your Tears come back off ACR now that it's climbed?

Yeah, it's being reset this week. :)

You're welcome! See you on the Hot 100 article tonight. :)

I'd rather have a stagnant chart than an inaccurate one, to be honest. :/

I hate 'Don't Play' so much, but even with the massive drop for it this week, I still don't agree with the whole idea of ACR. :/

Yeah the song has aged badly, even though it was just released this year. If ACR wasn't here, some good songs would've still been in the top 40.

Yeah, I just found it mediocre at first, but now it's my least favourite song of the entire decade so far! :O

The decade just began so let's not jump to conclusions... Yet

Oh, sure, that's why I said "so far", haha. :)

same, im glad heat waves is still climbing too

Hey Piran, hope you and everyone have a nice weekend. :)

Hey Marco! :)

It was very tiring for me, but I really enjoyed it, thanks.

How are you?

I'm good, glad Peaches is stable... still No. 2 in the 🇬🇧 but returned to No. 1 worldwide this week after only one week at No. 2 behind Mr. X.. Haha

Exactly! 'Peaches' is currently #1 in a lot of other countries, so I wouldn't worry about it, haha. :)

Surprisingly, My week has been satisfactory 😁😁

It isn't No.1 in my country (probably because my country has no charts 🤦🤦)

Have a nice weekend Piran !!! pS. In Poland we're having a long weekend including Monday !!!

What country are you from then? :)

That's awesome to hear! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. :)

Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Let's all hope for more awesome days and weeks ahead 😁😁

Yeah

Piran, when you listen to a song on this website is it radio edit?

I can't say I've ever done it before, so I'm not certain about that, but I don't think the versions on the OCC website are explicit. :)

I have my fingers crossed for you. :)

Oh, cool! I actually have a housemate who's also from Nigeria, haha. :)

Thanks👍

You're welcome. :)

Oh... That's nice 😀😀

Me too 🤞🤞

My weekend was meh sadly, but I'm hopeful that better ones are to come. :)

Yeah, small world, isn't it? :P

Yeah, there are actually a reasonable amount of Nigerians in the UK. They won't say anything but Dele Alli is Nigerian :P

You see they used to allow Nigerians to travel to UK for free those days without a Visa but then the whole Visa thing came in and a lot of Nigerians stayed behind. I even have cousins living in London

I mean living in Africa isn't bad but everyday I feel like we're being screwed constantly :P

I really like the African culture, but yeah, I'm really sorry about the political side of things out there. :/

Oh yeah, Visas make it so hard to get anywhere, even before this pandemic made things even more difficult. :/

Oh wow, I didn't know that! :O

That's my fun fact for the day, haha.

Thanks and the politics are just on the surface. There's also corruption and insecurity. The whole thing is kinda a mess :/

Yeah, I've heard about how bad the corruption is out there! Do you live a populated city or a less dense rural area then? :)

I actually live in a more populated city but it isn't my home town. Living in rural areas is actually more peaceful 😌

Funnily enough, I live in the countryside with family whenever I get to go home, but I live in a very big city for work! :P

Sounds stressful :/

It's not too bad actually! It's in a relatively quiet part of the city, haha. :)

Oh OK. In London ??

No, I'm actually in Bristol. :)

Oh that's actually more residential

Yeah, it's not too quiet, but also not too busy, haha. :)

Cool. Do you support City or the Rovers

Neither! I actually support Liverpool, haha. :)

What a coincidence, I support Liverpool too.

Awesome! I'm amazed that we were able to pull it back & finish third, given what happened at the start of the year, haha. :)

I'd already accepted that we were going for Europa League next season but they proved me wrong. Just like they always do.

Yeah, never underestimate The Reds! ;)

I know :)
