Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 05/8/2016

Hoping "Cold Water" can block "Let Me Love You" from the top spot, it's not good enough to be #1.

DJ Snake will be number one this Fri.

Just calling it now Dancing On My Own will be number 1 next week can feel it

Sia's releasing "Bird Set Free" as her next single in September! No doubt it's gonna be played on the radio a million times, but the song is amazing so it deserves it!

what about 101-200? I think it has more movement than between 1-100

Come on guys get those new Martin Garrix and Tinie Tempah songs into the top 40!

great Fifth WHORmony are in the top 40 but at least they didn't hit particularly high. Shame Fetty Wap is back in though, thought he had faded into oblivion.

I feel pretty happy about the charts today. 11 new entries and 1 re-entry, so lots of movement for once lower down the top 100, with some good songs like Don't Need No Money, Kiss The Sky and Closer entering. Yes, there was little movement near the top, but there will be next week as Let Me Love You enters. That will be interesting: Bieber vs. Bieber (now where have we heard that before?). I reckon Cold Water will win though; it is actually a pretty good song.
I'm also really happy that All In My Head (Flex) got in the top 40, I think it has a realistic chance of getting top 20 and possibly even top 10.
It's annoying to see my Cheat Codes jam drop 9 places, but they have another new song in the top 100 which is pretty good.
It's also good to see some new acts from 2016 (M.O, the other MO, Dua Lipa, Imani, Anne-Marie and more) getting a chance in the upper reaches of the charts. It's good to see that people are giving these acts a chance and listening to their songs.
When you compare this to the failures of Britney Spears and Katy Perry, you see that the charts are changing these days.
I'm a bit disappointed to see songs like Mamacita and Please Don't Go continuously fail to reach the top 40 though, as they both deserve it, especially Mamacita.

Funny that both Britney and Katy Perry are like...nowhere. Have to say that either of those singles made my "downstairs" clock go YEEEEEH!

Is incredible, now in day the people don't have good taste for the music, only watching the visual, about and drugs, naked woman's ! Don't have appreciation for the singers who having a career with trajectory ! But I can't changes your minds ; now only wait the Debut for the new album by Sophie Ellis-Bextor #Familia out September 2 ! Because about the single, well I don't talk !

Hey UK chart fans!

The Singles chart is now officially slower than the Albums chart its a national disgrace, its slower than the Billboard chart, look at the non movement this week, a song so pathetic and weak like Drakes can rule for that long and now who is saying how long this rubbish will be No1, The singles chart is a joke, at least the chart based on apple iTunes the Big Top 40 is more up to date its real, its relevant, its based on airplay, sales and is bang up to date, this official chart and the streaming is a just a joke

Check out our new single Hello Sunshine that can be downloaded from iTunes and all good cyber stockists.

I never expected Dancing on My Own to still be kicking it at this point, much less gunning for No. 1. Do you guys think it'll make it?

Forget counting sheep to help you sleep just look at this to make you drop off

Scientists hav discovered a disease that lowers ur intelligence by 90 per cent It's called Bieber Fever LOL

So here is my usual review of the UK Singles Chart today:
- Congratulations to: Major Lazer, Justin Bieber & MO for a 2nd week at #1 with 'Cold Water'. I'm starting to think that with the strong downloads & streams that this keeps getting, it could even last a month, possibly a few weeks, more at the top... which I wouldn't mind at all because of the fun & lively beat, so I guess it's become my new summer dance anthem. Though I don't really want to see another 'One Dance' run, where the song doesn't budge to the point that I get bored of it! :) LOL
- Speaking of JB, he may debut very high next week on the new DJ Snake song, 'Let Me Love You', as I can't really see anything at this moment that will stop 'Cold Water' at #1 other than that. I will say that I'm very pleased for Calum Scott as his cover of Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' was able to climb to #2 today, but I only wish 'Perfect Strangers' by Jonas Blue got to the top as well, however it's very unlikely to happen now.
- As far as the Top 40 goes, there are only 2 new entries & neither of them are very high up at all. Although I could see both 'Closer' & 'All In My Head [Flex]' making climbs in the coming weeks, whereas I'm not so keen on the new Anne-Marie & 21 Pilots songs that took big jumps today. Meanwhile, there's a big tribute to Viola Beach over on the albums chart, as their self-titled album enters at #1.
