Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 22/7/2016

I just don't get it. Add The Vamps, Lawson and someone else to these two and you will get my favourite British artists...and everyone of them just flopped the same way in the UK, a couple of top 10 hits and then just goes nowhere.

He's got Calvin Harris writing his songs and producing them tho which Conor Maynard didn't get! I think Calvin H desperately wants to help keep things going for JN cos, essentially, he's good mates with him (and prob on the same label. I don't know). His new single Ole is pretty different, I really like it, & I have a feeling it will do well and it might just save his career.

I agree but I'm not complaining about Mr Brightside being in at all. Great song.

Dude, check this link out: https://www.change.org/p/official-charts-don-t-let-streaming-count-in-the-main-charts?tk=BzoN_qHE82-2OeJpJwUcHXt_Ov0rQJh20PjMO9_px_A&utm_medium=email&utm_source=signature_receipt&utm_campaign=new_signature

I don't care about Bryan Adam's record but I am bored to death of One Dance and it doesn't deserve to break the record.

Shush! XD

Be quiet!

The video bears no relation to your comment whatsoever. The reason people are streaming the song to such extent is down to the fact that there's no official video on YouTube! It won't even make an ounce of difference if his video was leaked online.

OMG what an excellent point. ever thought about thst

If you're happy and content with a stagnant, barely-moving chart that's quite odd. Wouldn't yu prefer a vibrant, unpredictable chart?

This will be the first year in chart history without a number one from a British act. The charts are more Americanized now.

Hi John. Two British artists have hit Number 1 this year! Zayn with Pillowtalk, and Kyla who features on Drake's One Dance.

Oh yeah lol! Thanks man. :)

murs should not even be in the chart

STFU

Trash song

oh sorry i understand you...if i was u, i wanna be me too, i wanna be me too... XDDDDDD

Whoever makes a song boasting about their fame definitely deserves a flop, you sound like a little kid, please look round and educate yourself in some real music, instead of copying lines of a song in a comment from the likes of mindless materialistic egotists like Meghan trashnor, no we don't want to be like you thank you very much you frightful woman, take your meaningless clichéd schoolkid biased feminist undertoned music elsewhere please, thanks, she is dam gorgeous though she can have that one

its just your opinión, this song is just for having fun or about acceptation, everything depends of your perspective... ;) happy weekend bitter man.

well thanks I will:), not bitter at all my friend:)

It deserves a flop alright. If Olly Murs, John Newman flop out it will be a kick to the sack if Me Too is a hit,

Currently Major Lazer is above One Dance in the Spotify Charts. On the big top 40 Major Lazer has already after 2 days of sales.

People are too busy listening to Drake, Chainsmokers and Alan Walker. I'm glad someone has sense though.

And yet here you are.

At least Ed Sheeran's music is organic and true and he put's a lot of effort in to touring much rather see him than fetty or drake and fake gangster school kid materialistic music at least the guy is genuine if anything

Ed Sheeran spending a year in the top 40 a bad thing????

I agree with all that. I don't HATE Katy's new song but it's pretty bad. John Newman double-flops with another single that couldn't even make the 100 while Chainsmokers hit number TWO? Yes I'd rather that be no.1 than Drake but it shows people have limited taste

Katy Perry's song is supposed to be about the Olympics. It contains the line "victory is in your veins". Enough said!

Any established artist from Britney to Olly Murs and literally any UK "pop" act from the Vamps to Lawson to Nathan Sykes to Bastille just bombs; the failure of John Newman is the most surprising; have tastes really changed in such a short time? Aside from a few UK dance acts and international acts like Adele and Coldplay, UK based pop music is now extinct from the charts for the first time in chart history - totally bizarre

Tastes haven't changed. Just try and get a concert ticket for any of the acts you've mentioned. Not easy, just goes to show that the chart nowaday's does not reflect the taste of the nation. So is a complete waste of time

John Newman failed cos the song was credited to him only and not Calvin and released through John's label and the song was flat meaningless to any one but Calvin and under produced only John Newman's great reggae voice made it good

I think he means Give Me Your Love in terms of JN.

maybe but at least John Newman saw the top ten again with "Give Me Your Love" and it is his first top ten this year and it was released under Sigala's label Olé was released under Island and surprise it flopped just like Revolve and its singles also released under Island if I were John I'd add Calvin Harris feat. John Newman then release it through Calvin's label same as blame and it'd sore in the top five without a doubt

Yeah, very true. John will basically never have a big song as the lead artist again I predict

Sadly yeah but I reckon he could if he changed record labels he is clearly second priority to the "trendy kids" at island which is a shame cos he is a true talent and writes his own material he embarrasses all the other song's around him when he chart's high but all is not lost olé may do well in the US hope it does he deserves it for his good work

He writes his own stuff? O_O. I doubt Ole will chart even in the top 300 in the US though.

it may be a top 20 at least keep getting these two numbers asscociated with it in my mind when i think of it and the US charts 14 and 11 i have a feeling about thing's sometimes 14 is a common entry for british artists in the US as it is lol and the media storm surrounding the song possibly being about Taylor Swift should be enough to fuel it in to at least the top 20 i'd say really and yeah he does cool stuff

Agreed streaming has cheated all those records

Here here. it was that time the idea of a"singles chart" ceased to matter.

I go through the SALES chart these days. It´s the REAL chart!!!

Major Lazer will be number one on Fri as it's narrowly behind Drake in the streaming charts.

As I said look at the SALES chart from now on. NO STREAMING included. JUST SALES!!!!!!

Congratulations? Save some cake for someone else Drake, "Perfect Strangers" deserves the top spot and still no sign of olé by John Newman wow flop

Perfect Strangers sounds like a Years & Years knock-off imo. And not a particularly good one.

Lol Jonas Blue is another sigala using guest vocalist's to his beats all I know is I'd rather that be number one so Bryan Adams keeps his record at least

If Lean On fails #1 that their new song has NO chance

Okay on second thoughts that may not be the case

I suspect that for whatever reason, Spotify can't differentiate Scotland and none of its data is used in the Scottish charts, otherwise it would look largely similar to the UK Chart.

Maybe spotify are fixing the figures purposefully to beat Bryan Adam's charting record

Or because they're Drake fanboys
