Official Singles Chart on 10/6/2022

Its a shocking website they need to get their act together

Has Frank been sacked for offensive language?

I agree, how on earth is As it was sticking to #1 for so long is beyond me. Its an average song really, not #1 material at all in my opinion. Its ok but nothing special.

Getting ridiculous isn't it

Hi Colin, we are aware of the issues with the site's database at the moment, it has been under deep investigation for the past fortnight with a series of adjustments rolling out to improve matters. We sincerely apologise for the intermittent disruption to the site during this period.

That’s no excuse for not giving the site an overhaul which would remove the issue

Thank you for your reply ... that's all we ask that you keep us in the picture with what is happening instead of nothing .... THANK YOU.

1) Have you included any links with the Top 10? If so, try changing “com” to “c*m”, for example.

2) Do any of the song titles have rude words in them? If so, try writing them with blanking letters out, e.g. “s**t”, so that they don’t get caught in the flagging filter.

3) Have you verified your email address with Disqus? OCC won’t accept comments until you’ve done that. 🤔

Thanks, but nothing of it

You have to blame streaming for that as it makes the charts stagnant.
How can singles like Blinding lights be on the charts for years? Are people not listening to anything else?
When I waa young in the 70's 80's the charts were fresh and vibrant, and had variety. Not anymore.

Greetings from the UK, can I ask how many songs are Thin Lizzy known for in the U. S.?

hey mate, greetings from arizona! sorry mate, i don't know who thin lizzy is...checking their chart history on wikipedia...they haven't done anything over here in a long time. their song 'the boys are back in town' is their biggest u.s. hit back in 1976 @ #12. i'd be more in tune with acts that made the billboard hot 100 chart 1991+. and any acts that were big in the 80s on up.

Thanks mate, wasent sure if any of their greatest hits charts there

got anymore questions about any music over here from the 80s on up? we've also had a number of uk acts do great over here that weren't in the beatles :D

Agreed. Back in the old Guinness British Hit Singles books, a reissue or remix (as opposed to a single just re-entering the charts for a week or three during its original run) would be granted a separate listing to distinguish the separate chart feats, which always felt right.

Since in most cases there's no such thing as a 'reissue' per se these days, given that any song available to stream can simply arrive back in the chart under its own steam, so to speak, it's admittedly harder to know how to approach this. I mean, I'm instinctively against letting the established history of, for instance, Running Up That Hill's no.3 sales peak from 1985 be overwritten by a quirk of the 2020s charts – yet I can't really say how 'logical' that feeling is. Should there be some sort of statute of limitations on how old or how recent the prior chart appearance should be, in order to be (in)eligible for rewriting in the manner? I don't know how or where you'd draw the line, of course.

But there certainly doesn't seem to be a huge amount of sense or consistency in the OCC's listings in this regard, for either singles or albums. Sometimes a modern-day chart reappearance of a song/album gets tacked onto the end of a decades-old chart run, sometimes it gets given a whole new listing, with no great apparent logic for the choice. Take for instance the famous weekly Elvis reissue programme of 2005, where all his old number 1s' new chart entries are (correctly) given new listings... except for the last, A Little Less Conversation, where it's tacked onto that song's original 2002 chart run – even though its 2005 reappearance was a limited-edition reissue just as all the preceding 17 singles had been.

In some cases, these things appear to be affected by what record label things reappeared on. Sometimes it's just obviously a result of a misspelling causing a separate entry (e.g. a song called What Do Ya Say being entered into the database on a later occasion as What Do You Say), 'creating' a whole new hit where none existed. Sometimes there appears to be no such reason – so I can only assume the person typing the info in was simply oblivious to a song/album's past chart life or to whatever the guidelines are, if they indeed exist...

Agree buddy

the song was included in the latest season of stranger things, and it seems to have caught on with the current generation so people have been buying and streaming it. if not for acr, it would be number 1

Thanks for the info. I thought it waa weird and a bit random why its back in the charts. Its actually my favourite Kate Bush song. I remember it the first time around.

Because it was included on Netflix's Stranger Thing. It's all about streaming, tik tok and 10 yrs old stuff nowadays

The song in question is 37 years old. Far better than anything else in the charts. Its even beaten its original chart position. It peaked at number 3 in 1985 😊

Yep buddy , great achievement for Kate. I'd have love to get include a Kylie classic instead, the only chance to get into the top ten again for her...hahaha

We all wish that! I guess he'll be afraid to dissappear from the spotlight if he takes a hiatus

I love 'Remind Me' ... I've woken up a couple of times this week with the song in my head.

Its a better song for a start. His songs are very catchy normally, but this is pure cheesy catchy song, could easily climb to number 1

Yeah me too, its a classic single, I play it quite often over the years. Remember it first time round, so showing my age, I was just 16 when this came out. Now I am 53, so make the most of being young folks!

Hahah....I'm on the old guys team too dear Dave! I'll be 49 in a couple of months

Sorry Harry Styles fans but he's been #1 for way too long

absolutely!! we’re all disappointed here :(

Absolutely agree

I like it a lot more than that godawful previous single I won’t mention

The Best Songs In the Chart Right Now Kittern Edition! Big Energy 2step And Running Up That Hill!

if you count the lil baby remix for 2step, all 3 are absolute tunes! good taste :)

The irony is that ACR was supposed to cause less long-running #1’s, so why has it allowed Harry to get an extra week at the top than he actually had the UK’s most popular song for? :/

exactly :((( the 3 year permenant acr rule is so stupid imo, especailly now with lost of older songs reviving on tiktok, but stopping from reaching new peaks or even debuting due to the rule

I hope there’s some kind of review into it because of weeks like this, but it’s unlikely. :/

Agree,

i guess its the same as when Running Up That Hill was listed as a new entry for 2012 olympics, and last week that version re-entered. they've now combined the two

checking it out now! ill leave a comment!!

I hope not CJ. You know how I am obsessed with OneRepublic but out of the 130 or so tracks of theirs I've got on my playlist this probably ranks about 120. ' West Coast ' from earlier this year was far superior.

I thought sunshine was from last year was probably the best they've done in years, didn't rate West Coast as much but I ain't worried is forever growing on me, bit catchy with some feel good whistling

Sunshine is a recent new entry in Switzerland’s chart and going up! It deserved some success. Finally it gonna get it in the highest European peak.

Awesome, is a great track for the summer, pleased at least it has taken somewhere

I loved the remix if Sunshine, unfortunately it was released in Jan/Feb this year. Should be out now .

he played it recently at a festival so hopefully itll be out in the next few weeks

Yeah I saw that, it was in Ibiza if I remember right

yep!! rumours say its called history!

something is clearly wrong here, surely she had enough for an acr reset. she was MILES ahead of harry on all formats

sadly because ruth is older than 3 years old, its on permenant acr. so the 25% increase = reset doesn't apply. and the only way she could get reset is if her label requested. and even if they did, the occ probably wouldn't grant it since its already been a "hit" in the past

oh, that is just stupid. :/

i know i used to like it because the charts would actually have some movement because of it, but nah, i want acr gone now.

yep it definitely is! i personally do agree with acr as without it the charts would be so slow, and we would probably still have the same top 10 as we did in january, but the permenant acr rule is stupid and pointless

Have to listen to Rosa Linn as she's your new number 1, never heard of her

She was Armenia’s entry in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. :)

Yess, I completely forgot! I chequered her out on YT and I remembered!!

i would check out the kim petras cover of running up that hill, but it’s not on spotify. 😔

it’s a shame, because i love kim and i could see that working. :(

It’s on YouTube, why not check it out on there? 🤔

i’ll listen on there later tonight

i think we can blame potion and the gorgeous weather for that 😻

Burna Boy "last last" has potential and it's already doing so well for a song that most people don't understand what he is saying

I think in comparison to other recent Afrobeats hits like ‘Peru’ or ‘Love Nwantiti’, this has a much higher replay factor overall. :)

heard it earlier for the first time, and it’s very good but won’t get as many plays as love nwantiti (ah ah ah) for me.

this is saying something though given that the latter song is one of my most scrobbled songs on lastfm if you combine the original with the joeboy and kuami eugene remix… 😅

I hear it everyday and I'm already tired of it 😅.... I actually thought it would take 2 more weeks before entering the top 40.

Fun fact : When he says "Na everybody go chop breakfast" it's Nigerian slang for heartbreak or breaking up with someone. It's really trendy now

And Burna Boy's album is coming out on July 1st 😁"last last" is probably going to be around for a while

Oh, I didn't know that

Interesting saying! :O

I never heard of that until literally now.

I don’t think I’ve heard ‘Love Nwantiti’ in literally months! :O

i’m still playing it to this day 😩

Woah, that’s incredible longevity! 😮

Yeah, it's mostly common in my country so I'm not surprised it isn't known outside of it (except for probably Nigerians abroad)

incredibly based

“don’t mind the 3 song rule staying”

i don’t like it, but if we were to get rid of it then surely occ can meet in the middle. a lot of people here despise the 3 song rule cause it makes the chart inaccurate, but if it wasn’t there people would also moan when ed sheeran, harry styles, drake etc would clog up the charts with album tracks. occ can’t win either way. maybes bring the number of tracks allowed up if they want to keep it so much?

I dont mind it, but it should be changed to like 5 songs lol

yeah, that would be better

then we can actually not talk about bruno…? 🤣

exceptional:

1) iftk
2) die hard
3) big energy

10) as it was
11) where are you now

good:

14) cooped up
15) heat waves
16) i like you (a happier song)
17) 2step (before y’all get upset, this is only for the lil baby remix, the og would be in the bad tier)
18) about time

decent:

19) potion
20) she’s all i wanna be
21) remind me
22) hold my hand
23) don’t forget my love
24) peru
25) late night talking

mid:

26) lemon tree
27) in the stars
28) 1989

i would rather eat my eyeballs than listen to this:

39) crazy what love can do
40) shivers

I think it’s the best EDM song song in the Top 40 by far... 😩

I think it'll be a grower for me, but pleasantly surprised you liked it nonetheless since you're not usually into many EDM hits! :O

To be fair to the genre, it’s been having some good songs charting this year like Down Under, Used To This and now this, but it also some of the worst I’ve ever heard like 21 Reasons, Stay The Night and Where Did You Go. 😩

At least there’s nothing as bad as Friday or The Business yet...

It seems like DnB is more your style of EDM based on the examples you've given, haha. :)

Yeah, and the best Number 1s (and the last good ones 😳) are in the style too. 😩

As for the four EDM #1's in my personal charts in 2022, one of them you love, two of them you hate & the other I honestly don't know your opinion on! 😩

What are the 4 again?

its decent, but some of the hype about it over on buzzjack seems undeserved. like its defo not as brilliant as they're making it out to be! but still a decent track anyway

I haven’t seen many BuzzJack comments about it as of now, but Discord seem to be getting on board with it & the radio won’t stop playing it! :P

‘Used To This’, ‘In The Dark’, ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ & ‘Stay The Night’. :)

if you look in the songs thread on the dance forum theres lots of people hyping it up there

Haven’t heard of In The Dark until now, but it’s alright enough. :)

Certainly better than the latter 2 songs... 😩

i really like it, so much better than the dull and boring kind of dance music that clogs up the charts.

plus it’s also on my personal now album (ocelot’s mix vol 8) which i may or may not be revealing later tonight…. :))

big W

not who you’re talking to, but my fav style of edm is the stuff martin garrix did for his new album, and the style addict is in. i just don’t know the subgenre 😩

dnb is also cool, i really like the style of dnb wilkinson and rudimental make

actually scrap that i’ll give it another week

used to this (8/10) > in the dark (7/10) >>>>> stay the night (3/10) >>>>>>>>> crazy what love can do (-2/10)

half marks :)

Two out of four, but I’ll take it from someone who’s not really a fan of a majority of charting EDM, haha. :)
