Official Singles Chart Top 40

Hardly any British artists in the chart, very depressing. UK music industry is dead or producing artists that do not appeal globally 

anyway, busy woman at #10 is one of my favourite songs this year, and 'love me not' at #75 i'm really hoping will become a huge hit! ravyn lenae's newest album is so so incredible.

'messy' falling from number 1 this week due to kendrick's career high post-super bowl, i'm actually not mad at it! not like us feels like a song that should've already been #1, and messy has soured on me a lot recently, which is a shame because lola young has some wayyy better songs. i'm hoping she pushes this era out with more singles, because almost every song on her album is better than messy. i love 'flicker of light' by her too, a way better example of her talent in my opinion.

i'm aware that this conversation is being had in the comments about the mad amount of old songs in the chart but i got a bit passionate typing a reply so i'll post it as it's own comment:

the OCC need to just bring in recurrency rules like billboard!! they got that right because it's obvious that streaming gives older songs a huge advantage. songs have always stood the test of time but they didn't use to clog up the charts, it's just that people can now go stream whatever song comes to mind. it's not an accurate reflection of what's popular if it's a song that's already been popular on the charts. the singles chart would be such a better reflection of the contemporary if they had songs go 'recurrent' (out) after dropping below #50 after 20 weeks charting. rather than booting songs down the chart on the 10th week? which destroys songs that aren't mega popular's success and only halves the songs that are mega popular, causing them to stay forever anyway?

billboard has a lot of funny rules which the OCC do better, but ACR is an obvious mess. i hope they fix this, otherwise every 'end of year' chart will be worse than the next

Headlock still in charts ❤️

LMAO jack harlow flop

LOL. I think that's all that needs to be said at this point.

Im so glad that busy Woman didn't hold onto number 4

Nothing too spectacular this, but the rules should be changed that no respawn of old songs is possible (no need for Please Please Please or Beautiful Things to return into the top 10).

A separate chart NEEDS to be made for older songs because I've actually had enough of it now. Every week I'm sick of seeing Mr Brightside, Iris, Viva Ka Vida etc etc take up spaces in the charts when there are probably loads of great artists who are not in the top 100 because it's being taken up by the same songs. I've said this a lot but it needs to be done. So many artists would perform a lot better. The only exception would be if a single was reissued perhaps. Yet again so many would do a lot better. Fontaines DC are quite a good band and they DESERVE a top 40, the death of bands in the charts is also quite concerning so I'd love to see them get a top 40 for once. It's the same with other bands rn like Wunderhorse etc. As much as old as my music taste is, CHARTS ARE FOR NEW SONGS. It was always this way but since the streaming era took over there's been multiple songs occupying spots in the charts for weeks. And the fact is the older artists that still release music are still big. There are so many bands that top or nearly top the album chart, Depeche Mode, Suede, Blur, etc etc, but they have no impact in the singles chart, mostly due to these songs staying in the charts. Even if they got in the low ends of the top 100 it'd be good because it'd give people more exposure to more music. I don't think it'll happen but it's a wish of mine, the charts would actually mean more for me

Tate’s album is doing really well on Apple Music so it looks like she’ll actually see a sizeable impact next week

Much like the original edition of ‘Short n’ Sweet’, I’m kind of mixed on the deluxe edition.

‘Busy Woman’ was definitely the highlight of it so nice to see it getting off to a very strong start. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of either version of ‘Please Please Please’ at all. I’d much rather ’15 Minutes’ entered instead.

As for the AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith collab… it’s just okay for now but I think it has potential to grow on me further.

why is the music video snippet when you click on the information button for Not Like Us a completely different Kendrick song 😭

It’s a shame that ‘Remember My Name’ didn’t make the Top 40 despite being there in Monday’s update.

It’s such a beautiful yet heartbreaking tribute to Sam’s late grandparents. It might even be one of the most emotional songs to chart this year.

Hopefully it can enter the region with the album boost next week! ❤️

‘All The Stars’ returning to its peak more than seven years after its release is fantastic. For me, it's one of the best hits of 2018! 😊

I have absolutely zero interest in checking out the Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR album. I only heard the songs that charted for my Top 40 rankings. ‘Nokia’ wasn’t bad but I really didn’t like the other two.

Also, ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ has to be one of the worst album titles in recent memory… 💀

Glad to see ‘Not Like Us’ at the top spot! It isn’t even Kendrick’s best diss track for me and most of the songs on ‘GNX’ are better, but it’s still very good and he’s my favourite rapper so this was always going to be a special moment.

Congratulations to him on his first #1 single in the UK! 👏
