Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 13/12/2019

I have to agree with you there, Jeremy 2010's music was the worse.

I know I mean I hated Freak Of The Week by Krept and Konan and Billie Eilish is a bad singer!

Yeah she is a very bad singer, Jeremy. and I can't stand Lean On by Major Lazer back in 2015!

Yeah, I prefer artists like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Phil Collins, Genesis, Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Spandau Ballet, UB40, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Simply red and all other artists whose music made much more sense.

Yeah I know. All the artists who made proper music. People just use a laptop to make music these days and some of them are mainly remixes!

I know and artists who were around in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s worked very hard at making music. They wrote lyrics, played real instruments and also performed it live.

I know. I mean who on earth are Ladbaby. They're not even real artists

Almost certainly LadBaby at this point.

Aw, I'll definitely miss those, but at least that's only just over two weeks ago now! :)

Stormzy performing 'Crown' in a church would be cool, as well as Taylor Swift singing 'Lover' to her "lover" sat on a bench in a park with a wintery backdrop.

It's a really great song!

I am afraid so! I was expecting Mariah to make the Top 3 this week...But stuck outside the Top 5 she won't make it to number 1 next week!!

That was my initial prediction, but now I don't think streams will be strong enough for either of them until the tracking week that includes Christmas Day.

With permanent ACR acting against them, you're probably going to have to wait for either one of those two (probably 'All I Want For Christmas Is You') to get around about one million Spotify streams every single day!

You're in luck, since you'll be hearing it like a dozen times throughout the show! ;)

Cool. I think the 2020s decade could be crossed between 80s and 90s!

Actually, I'm pretty sure 'Vossi Bop' re-entered because of Spotify Wrapped 2019 coming out late last week, which is also the reason for multiple other big tracks of this year shooting up as well - most notably 'I Don't Care', 'Senorita', 'Old Town Road', 'Someone You Loved' and others.

I'd have thought that 'Senorita' rebounded more because of Camila's album, but yeah, Spotify Wrapped probably gave the others a notable boost.

Then again, 'Someone You Loved' always seems to be hovering about anyway! :P

So sad my friend!

Definitely one of the best songs from 2016! It deserved that #1 entirely. :)

I went to V Festival later that year, where saw Mike Posner perform that song live. No joke, I was about four or five rows from the front!

Really? Cool

Yeah, it was awesome! :D

Love that track Piran, also he did a phenomenal track with (never thought I would mention this artist in recent years) James Blunt called 'ok' what a track. Robin Schulz is underrated

And the one he did with Nick Jonas is also a great dance track

Every track Robin Schulz has put out is amazing really, but my favourite by far would be 'Shed A Light', which was actually my favourite song of 2017! :D

Yeah, yeah, yeah! :D

I was so mad that the UK slept on this untill the big leap it took. Obviously due to his brits nomination :)

Years & Years actually had a song called 'Dreamland' with Pet Shop Boys a few weeks ago! :)

It peaked at #4 on the sales chart, but sadly never made the overall chart.

Songs with a * were released in the 2000's, but continued their chart run into the 2010's.

Hope you all liked it! :)

Nice choices Piran!!! A second preview of my decade lists: guess who...haha

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bRORJNl9-iA/VcqaG9gW5bI/AAAAAAAAn4c/Te6G-5g8S2U/s1600/Justin%2BTimberlake%2Bsmile.gif

None other than JT it seems! ;)

haha :)

Would it be like one artist per episode, or would you get several celebrities in at a time like Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross do?

Yes it would be. I would be playing games with the artist as well. Such as "guess the song"

Ah, okay, that sounds like a decent concept then! :)

Looks like it got placed on ACR this week, but the surge of festive songs only made it fall even harder!

It appears that 'South Of The Border' survived ACR despite being predicted to be placed on it in the midweek updates.

Now that we're really close to the Christmas chart, I'm honestly also gonna go with 'Own It', as it seems like the perfect candidate for the spot - with the album boost and iTunes discount especially.

Whatever it ends up being, please let it not be the sausage song...

I didn't mind 'I Love Sausage Rolls', but honestly, it kills the idea of novelty hits if you're going for Christmas #1 with the exact same theme you did last year...

I would be quite happy if ladbaby did it again. Unlike allot of the big names 100% of there profit goes to the tressell trust to help feed starving people in the UK, the higher they are on this chart the more they have raised.

As for the theme, yes its the same but if you look at his video blogs his "love of sausage rolls" is well known before even the 1st song he released.

Not saying its the best song for #1 but could allot worse right?

I feel the exact same way - it was kind of funny and interesting last year, sneaking into a race of big songs fighting for the #1 spot with something as random as sausage rolls, so I can give it that, even if the song itself was... well that's not really important in this case, but I didn't like it very much, to put it briefly.

Now though? He's doing another cover, and replacing "rock and roll" with "sausage rolls"... again? And the worst part is, apparently he's trying to go for three straight years of Christmas #1s... so if he actually gets it this year (let's hope not), we have another year of sausage songs to fear... yikes!

It's pretty cool that he's bringing up an important cause and donating all proceeds from the song to charity - but let's not forget that's the entire reason the song is here in the first place.

And I usually don't mind charity singles, even if their effect nowadays is much lessened, due to the ever decreasing download market, but Ladbaby could have at least tried to, in some way, differentiate this single from his previous one - even if sausage rolls are a running gag on his YouTube, this attempt of his is formulated exactly in the same way as last year's, which is what's so annoying about this.

It was funny the first time around - some random guy and his wife, no singing background, getting a #1 on the Christmas chart no less, by singing about sausage rolls. The song was pretty poor, but you couldn't help but respect it. Now... it just comes off as if they're milking their status, even if the money is going to good cause again.

That's the thing with Christmas #1 campaigns; they're meant to be unique & random, that's why the public will be intrigued by those kind of songs, meaning they'll buy or stream them excessively.

I get LadBaby's idea last year, but it won't be the same the second time round, as we've heard this all before from him. I will say that the video was still hilarious this year though! :P

Besides, even if 'I Love Sausage Rolls' did somehow end up as the Christmas #1, there's no guarantee that it'd work a third time in 2020, since somebody else could come up with an entirely different novelty smash by then!

I appreciate that it's for charity, but he could've come up with a different theme, since the uniqueness & randomness isn't really there anymore, which is kind of what you need to successfully campaign for Christmas #1.

That said, I think more people (on this forum at least) would want that at the top instead of a 12th week for 'Dance Monkey'!

I'm going for 'Peace On Your Plate'. It's the first ever Christmas song that spreads the true Christmas message - peace, love and good will to ALL.

I haven't seen it on any sales nor streaming charts sadly, so I'm not sure it'll even chart, but at least the message sounds so meaningful & that's what Christmas is really about as you said! :)

he's doing the sausage roll song for charity.... the song should be #1.

You're right yep. It could be a lot worse. It could be a song as dull and dreary as most of the songs in the charts this year.

No! Stormzy's an anti-Tory ranger. I have no time for him and any similar celebrity ilk..Ladbaby is for charity and the true spirit of Xmas unlike the pocket filling coffees of Stormzys' record company Humbugs.

Rage Against The Machines'2009 no 1Killing In The Name is my favourite because it smashed Simon Cowells X Factor so anything that stops anyone I don't like at Xmas makes my Xmas.

Exactly.i can only think of a handful that actually grabbed my attention this year like Giant by Calvin Harris and Rag And Bone Man.

It was probably one of the biggest Christmas #1 campaigns of all-time, since it got something like 500,000 signatures, haha! :P

Stormzy's just released an album though & 'Own It' was already doing really well beforehand, so he's not really trying for Christmas #1 at this point.

Besides, LadBaby has it in the bag now anyway!

I think the point is that regardless of the song it gives people food who are living below the poverty line. To be honest, it has nothing to do with the song. Yes mate! SAUSAGE ROLLS FOR THE WIN.

While that song is all that is brand new to the top 40, we do also happen to have a re-entry into the charts, a special one - this week, we lost the very talented Juice WRLD, who sadly passed away, aged just 21. His music remains some of the best, most emotional and most honest in today's hip-hop, his delivery seemed incredibly raw and genuine, and besides that, he had a real connection to his fans, one not many music artists do; plus a great passion for what he did. This week sees the return of "Lucid Dreams", his biggest hit, into the charts, and while I wish it was a bit higher, technically the track is still on ACR so its real peak is likely somewhere around the top 10 - I just wish the rules were a bit different for occasions like this, so artists who pass away can be paid tribute to with a high chart placement. It's great we get to see the song in this giant Christmas takeover regardless, and a great way to say: rest in paradise, Juice WRLD. You will be missed.
And I think it's only right I also mention another great loss in music this week - while I'm a bit too young to be familiar with most of Roxette's work, I understand the great impact they had with their music, which is why it's so upsetting to hear of Marie Fredriksson's passing. Her music is nowhere to be seen on the top 100, unfortunately, while this is understandable, it is still pretty upsetting. Nevertheless, her legacy will live on.

On a bit more positive note, this is the final chart before the official Christmas chart next week - and with 'Dance Monkey' now undoubtedly going on ACR, and LadBaby starting off with incredibly strong sales (dear god…), it's anybody's guess as to who will be #1 next week. Apart from sausage man, Stormzy is looking to be next in the running - 'Own It' is discounted on iTunes, and with his album out, the track, which was already right behind Tones & I anyways, will surely get a significant boost. I did expect Lewis to have a campaign push for Christmas #1, so it's odd to see him just let this one slide, especially when he easily could have built on the initial momentum of 'Before You Go' to get it to #1, but I digress. The race is absolutely on - just whatever you do Britain, please don't go with the same lame joke for a second year running… and if you do, I will be laughing and cringing for you all the way from Bulgaria.

And finally, my brand new CrownNote chart is up! http://crownnote.com/charts/akyovbashiev/crystal-top-40-week-492019

Hey Akyovbashiev! :)

How's your week been?

Nice review as usual, although I do like 'Adore You' a bit more than you did! I'll be commenting on your new chart shortly.

Hey Piran! My week's been great, just prepping for the holidays, haha!

'Adore You' is not really my thing as a song, which is why its score is a bit low, but I still really respect it, regardless. And as for my chart - this week saw the return of a lot of Juice WRLD songs, and I know they're not your favorite, but in general I still hope you find it interesting!

Awesome! I'm starting work on Monday, so I might have to work up to Christmas Eve, but at least I know I'll be home with family for the big day. :)

To be fair, 'Adore You' isn't even among Harry's best singles (especially when a masterpiece like 'Sign Of The Times' exists) but I personally really like his new style he's taking.

No worries, I can at least respect the tributes you've shown to him!

That's great news - it's also great you'll be able to spend the holidays with family! Looking forward to that a lot as well :)

Honestly, as much as I'm not really on board with Harry's new singles (or even his first album, anyways), I absolutely love 'Sign Of the Times' - something about it really gets me, and I'm not quite sure what it is, but it does!

It's weird though, most of the 1D members' debut solo projects really impressed me - Zayn's 'Pillowtalk' and most of his work up till now is great, obviously Harry's debut single was fantastic, Louis' 'Back to You', while not his first solo single, is up there with my favorite songs of all time, and while Liam's 'Strip That Down' was meh at best, 'For You' with Rita was incredible - I guess that counts?
Which leaves Niall... yeah, I guess I've never really been on board with Niall, unfortunately. But given that I wasn't a big fan of 1D as a whole, that's still really impressive! Every one of the members was able to carve out their own sound and niche, and I think that's the best part about it.

Thanks Akyovbashiev! :)

I've always loved a lot of Harry's music, although I do agree that his debut era was better than this one in my opinion, although 'Lights Up' & 'Adore You' are both still awesome though.

I guess I don't really like dislike any of the 1D members to be totally, so I can't give a "least favourite", but unfortunately for you, Niall would have to be a close second for me!

With ZAYN, I really wish he promoted his music a lot more, since not doing that caused a severe drop-off for him, although I do get that it's partly related to anxiety.

It is indeed strange with Juice WRLD. On the Official Singles Sales Chart, the UK's biggest selling singles of the week, he also doesn’t really make an impact (“Lucid Dreams” is #58) but Roxette does. “It Must Have Been Love”, “Listen To Your Heart” and “The Look” are all re-entering top 100.

Roxette being an older group gives them the sales advantage, while Juice WRLD being a relatively new rapper boost his songs on streaming.

I guess the huge surge of Christmas songs along with the fact that Juice WRLD only really had one major hit in the UK is what prevented him from returning to the Top 40, although Roxette didn't manage to get any songs back in the entire Top 100 from what I could see! :(

It's very nice Piran that you've mentioned Juice Wrld & Marie Fredriksson who died last week. Juice Wrld has currently 3 of his singles in the Top 100 Singles Chart, but I regret that Roxette don't have any of their so many great hits they shared with us over a few decades.

Hello Piran!
Every single time I thought "Dance Monkey" won't be #1, it has been #1 for 11 weeks, not even entering ACR!
Very sad news that Juice WRLD & Marie Fredriksson passed away.
I like "Adore You" and I've heard the full album recently and it's really good!
However, I'm 100% sure that "Dance Monkey" will lose the #1 in the christmas chart, because after seeing LadBaby's numbers on kworb.net, it will probably take the #1 spot... joy.
Hope you have a great week and check out my new chart if you have the time!
I hope that your new job will be a good one!

Hey Sergej! How's your weekend going? :)

I'm surprised that 'Dance Monkey' has survived ACR for this long too, but it really doesn't look like it will for the coming week! It's going to be 'Own It' vs 'I Love Sausage Rolls' for Christmas #1 it seems.

I think the former will easily win on streaming thanks to Stormzy's album boost, but yeah, Kworb is indeed predicting massive sales for LadBaby. Regarding the latter, last year was funny & random, but this year would be a lot less exciting as we've already heard this kind of thing just 12 months ago. That said, I can respect that's at least for charity!

'Adore You' is indeed amazing, so despite the massive competition over on my new chart, it might make a Top 40 debut next week.

Have I not commented on your new chart yet? Sorry, I thought I had, but I'll make sure I do that very soon!

Finally, while it is indeed very sad to hear about Juice WRLD's & Marie Fredriksson's deaths, I'm very surprised that neither made any considerable re-entries this week, particularly the former.

Thanks, hope you're right!

It's a shame that Roxette couldn't re-enter anywhere other than having a minor impact on the sales chart, but Juice WRLD got a bigger resurgence as he's a newer rapper (although I'm surprised none of his songs returned to the Top 40, especially 'Lucid Dreams').

Hey Piran! It's very impressive to see 'Dance Monkey' break chart records by getting an 11th week at #1, but I am definitely getting a bit tired of seeing it at #1. This is now the 3rd week that it's declined in streams, though, so it should be going onto ACR next week. Even if it doesn't, I think 'Own It' and maybe 'I Love Sausage Rolls' will be able to dethrone it anyway. Other than that, I really love seeing 'Own It' climb up to #2, even if it is just because of 'Before You Go' falling since 'Own It' dropped a little bit in chart sales this week, and it's also cool to see 'Someone You Loved' and 'Don't Rush' rebounding further down.
There may only be 1 debut this week, there were a few last week that I missed! The Weeknd's debuts were definitely my favourite of the week, but they're both honestly not as good as I've come to expect from The Weeknd. 'Heartless' was just a strong 6/10 for me, and while 'Blinding Lights' was definitely better, I'd still only give it a strong 7/10 - light 8/10, which isn't really good when it's coming from an artist with 7 #1s and 10 Top 10s on my charts Ellie Goulding's vocal delivery is good on 'River', but it's really not my style of music at all, so a strong 5/10 - light 6/10 here. I don't mind 'Falling', and actually quite like the style, but it does sound pretty generic and cheap so this is only a solid 6/10 for me. As for this week's sole debut, 'Adore You', I actually don't mind it, but it's definitely nothing special for me, so another light 6/10 for this.
Next week will definitely be an interesting one as the race for Christmas #1 really starts. I've got my money on 'Own It' - quite literally! I put a £10 bet on it at 5:1 odds, so if it does become Christmas #1 I make £40 profit from it! It definitely looks like the most likely by a good margin, though. It's the biggest non-Christmas song on Spotify and the biggest overall on Apple Music, as well as being a solid #3 on iTunes. Meanwhile, 'I Love Sausage Rolls' may be doing incredibly on sales, but I think it just doesn't have the streams to back it up. Given the very quickly declining influence of the sales market, I really can't see 'I Love Sausage Rolls' getting more than 50,000 chart sales, and that's if it manages to get roughly 8x more than its closest competitor given that 'Dance Monkey' got just 6,406 actual sales this week, and it's #1 on the sales chart. Given that 'Own It' has been getting around 50,000 chart sales in total for the past few weeks, and will inevitably see an album boost, probably to around 70,000 chart sales, I think the odds of 'Own It' being #1 next week are very good! Other than that race, I can see 'Audacity' making a Top 10 debut if it can hold up throughout the week, and 'Lessons' will probably debut lower down as well.
By the way, https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/rod-stewart-claims-tenth-number-1-album-with-youre-in-my-heart-and-sets-a-new-chart-record__27970/#comment-4725309700 over on the albums chart article, so I'd love if you could check that out when you get the chance!

Hey Gameskiller! :)

Firstly. let's quickly discuss the debuts, where they all seem to range from okay to decent according to your ratings, whereas I was a bit more positive on them as a whole.

Of course, we then need to get to our main discussion, the Christmas charts...

While Stormzy will almost definitely beat Harry Styles for the Christmas #1 album, the "First Look" is indicating that he might not do the same on the singles chart: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ladbaby-takes-early-lead-ahead-of-stormzy-wham-and-ellie-goulding-for-christmas-number-1__27980/

It seems like OCC are saying that 'I Love Sausage Rolls' are already extremely dominant in the first two days, but because it's got no streaming presence, the gap could close considerably over the next few days. Although, at the same time, its sales lead went from a 3x lead a few hours ago to a 5x lead right now!

Much to my amazement, the songs from #2 to #4 are all within 2,000 combined sales at the moment, those being: 'Own It', 'Last Christmas' & 'River' respectively.

According to Akyovbashiev, WHAM! are ahead of Mariah this week because of a physical edition of 'Last Christmas' that came out on Friday, but 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' does remain the most streamed track of the week so far!

As for Stormzy's other tracks, the new update has him at #8 with 'Audacity' & #13 with 'Lessons'.

Yeah, I had no doubts that 'I Love Sausages Rolls' would be #1 on the First Look. They generally only include 1 day's streaming data (sometimes even less as not all platforms reports on time every week) and 2 day's sales data. We saw it last week with 'River' being #2 on the First Look since the only platforms that had reported at that point were Amazon and iTunes, but on the final chart 'River' was down at #8. I expect something similar will happen this week, just to a lesser degree, with 'I Love Sausage Rolls' ending at #2. I'm fairly confident that, unless 'I Love Sausage Rolls' can maintain a 10x lead over 'Own It' on iTunes throughout the entire week, or 'Own It' falls drastically on streams, 'Own It' will be #1 next week. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out, though!

Yeah, we apparently only have 24 hours of streaming data for the article that just got posted, along with about 48 hours of sales as you mentioned. Therefore, I'll be paying a lot more attention to tomorrow's full chart update instead! ;)

Interestingly though, if LadBaby did get Christmas #1, it would be the first time since The Spice Girls in 1998 whereby an artist has scored consecutive festive chart-toppers.

On the other hand, if Stormzy does it, I believe it'll be the first Christmas #1 that's a British rap song, so it looks like history is getting made regardless!

As for my personal chart for next week, while the song at #1 might change, the singer certainly won't! ;)

I posted the song that right now is closing in on 'Body Back' at the top of the page! It's called 'Wait For You', so let me know what you think of that one when you get the chance.

I just checked it out, and it's another really good track from Maia Wright here! I'd say that I prefer 'Body Back', but I'm still really liking 'Wait For You', and it should have a good chance of debuting on my charts next week, though its position will certainly be muted do to 'Romance' and 'Heavy Is The Head' tracks.

I think 'Body Back's slightly better too, but this is so amazing anyway! :)

Coolocelot were discussing how the song might have a really happy vibe, yet the video is very sad if you watch until the end.

That's amazing that it could actually debut on your own chart next week, especially when there are two massive albums taking over at the same time!

ROXETTE being my favorite band ever!! I am still shocked that NONE of their singles nor their albums even reentered the charts!!
