Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 12/6/2020

National treasure. RIP 💔

Very sad news, but at least she lived a long & good life. :)

Much better than that pile of .

An amazing song is having an amazing run! ;)

Not sure why your comments are randomly getting deleted, but just to say thanks for your comment beneath my post on the current article. I'll try to stay as optimistic as I can! :)

I never noticed, last time I looked it was on 485, great we made it! ;)

I think our 1000+ comments streak has ended on the Hot 100 articles unfortunately, so let's make up for it tonight, haha! :D

I’ll help you guys to get there by posting links to really awesome songs, as well as a few lists! :)

Awesome! Can't wait to see some of those lists. ;)

Well it was a very quiet week for new music, hence only one...

This coming week Ella Henderson's 'Take care of you', Tom Walker's 'Wait for you' and, unfortunately 6ix9ine's new song could enter the top 100.

Hopefully this week Ella Henderson, Tom Walker, Jason Derulo and, whether you like it or not, 6ix9ine.

I love that song.

I like this! Sure, it’s different to what Kygo did in the past, but I like this more chilled vibe from him, and the electric guitar at the start is really good, as well as the echoes in Kim Petras’ vocals. Maybe a light 7/10 for now! :)

Glad you like it mate! :D

I definitely like Kygo's more chilled sound as much as I enjoy the swell of his mainstream pop hits.

Kim's vocals are so amazing, which is why 'Malibu' is on course for the Top 5 & another future #1 contender, so if you liked her voice on 'Broken Glass', you might enjoy 'Malibu' too!

what about anything from CULTURE BEAT? MR VAIN of course but as well : GOT TO GET IT and ANYTHING?...love that band and still listening often to SERENITY and INSIDE OUT: 2 great albums..
and what about ICE MC? RUSSIAN ROULETTE, TAKE AWAY THE COLOR and THINK ABOUT THE WAY...love it, love it...have a geat day DAMI

Of course!!! Absolutely great dance hymns! How did I forget Mr. Vain!! ?. It was one of the dance hits of the 90's ! Thanks for reminding me Thierry!!!

=1st: Cameron - 21 points

Told you I'd guess the Top 3 correctly! ;)

And you certainly did! ;)

Even then, a lot of the other groups in your Top 10 are awesome too.

I had no idea you liked The Beatles as much as you did! :D

The Beatles, for me, are a great group! Them and Elvis Presley carried pop and rock music! I didn’t reveal my liking for them, true, but now you do. My favourites of theirs are Yesterday, I Want To Hold Your Hand and especially Come Together. :)

I was let down by Let It Be and Yellow Submarine though.

Aw, 'Yellow Submarine' is one of my favourite singles from them, haha! :P

A lot of the songs you prefer are good too though, especially 'Come Together'.

Great songs!!

They all got put to ACR unfortunately

The culture is what streaming says nowadays. We have to get used to that. The end of the culture that we knew, as the world we lived in, are close.

Shout Out To My Ex by Little Mix is a worse #1 single. It’s a light 0/10 for that one.

Yeah Shout Out To My Ex is bad but i'd say Swagger Jagger is worse

No, this is even worse, though Shout Out To My Ex is really bad too

Glad we agree on SOTME. I forgot what Swagger Jagger sounded like though so I clicked the link and I wish I hadn’t now...

I retraced Swagger Jagger after forgetting what it sounded like. I stopped it after the main hook, it was just so bad. How on this mad earth did it get to #1? Light 2/10! :/

How did they even think it was a good idea to release both of them?

Now you know why I hated 2011 for music. Thank god for Adele.

Yeah, 2011 was pretty bad for mainstream music, but not for music in general in my opnion.

Surprisingly, I've never heard this before. Pretty good though.

Glad you like it! :D

I'd probably put in my Top 10 songs of the past decade, maybe even Top 5.

Don't think so. If Rockstar goes on ACR and nothing huge releases then maybe.
Just to give you a picture, the difference in sales between the two songs are 12K!

It probably won't, but it would be nice to see.

Maybe I will stream "Rain On Me" 100 times and then I will see what will happen in the next chart.

Doesn't work cuz only 10 streams per person will count per day in the chart :P

I actually really like this one! I heard it about a month ago and it sounded very good. :)

Radio 1 were so on board with this and it was slept on.

Ikr! I guess people aren't indie-rock fans anymore :/

Yep. Can't wait for their album. One Republic is so underrated in the UK

They did have some hits beforehand but yeah, they can’t get many Top 40 smashes nowadays. because I absolutely loved Rescue Me! :(

I do like indie-rock, but I don’t stream it as much as trap lol.

"here's what I would call one of the toughest Emoji Challenges yet!"
(plays dramatic classical music)

Haha, let's see if you can win this one, although I seriously get the feeling that you might! ;)

It's not classical music though, haha.

SONG 1: 🍾 💥

SONG 2: 🛑 😭 ❤️

Champagne Supernova by Oasis?

It's an Oasis theme lol. Love it! ;)

Theme is correct, but Cameron beat you to the answer! :P

The Shock Of The Lightning

Correct! :D

Half the World Away?

Correct again! :D

The Hindu Times

Not that one! ;)

That's three correct! ;)

Again, Cameron just beat you to it, but you're right! ;)

Haha, thought you would! ;)

Falling Down

Shakermaker

I think you've got five now! :D

Make that six correct! ;)

I'm Outta Time

I think you might've won this week, as you managed to guess seven out of the ten songs correctly! :D

Does Robbie Williams provide the vocals for The Days?

My Top 10 throwbacks of the week:
1. Alright - Kendrick Lamar (2015)
2. F*** Tha Police - N.W.A (1988)
3. Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers (1999)
4. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor (1979)
5. We No Speak Americano - Yolanda B Cool & Dcup (2010)
6. America - Razorlight (2006)
7. Insomnia - Faithless (1995)
8. Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver (1971)
9. Tribute - Tenacious D (2001)
10. Hold On, We’re Going Home - Drake ft Majid Jordan (2013)

Loving a majority of your list. ;)

He does indeed, although I don't know if he's officially credited.

I never knew it was Robbie Williams, he isn't credited though. I don't know why a lot of vocalists aren't credited on Avicii's songs, Aloe Blacc did the vocals for Wake Me Up but wasn't credited either.

I'm not sure either, but I think they should be!

I don't know if it's the producer or the record label who decides that though.

Loved it!!!!

Thanks mate! :D

I love almost all of your list too, especially: #1, #2 (almost had the same throwback at the top!), #4, #5, #7, #8 & #10.

It was slightly disappointing to see you give 'Ready Or Not' only a light 5/10 though, but hey, I respect your opinion regardless!

Thanks Dami! :D

Hope you're staying safe! Sorry to hear that South America is getting a lot of COVID-19 cases at the moment, but I hope the situation isn't too bad in Argentina right now.

Glad you like 7/10 of my list! :)

Yeah, well I wasn’t keen on her voice, so that’s what brought the score down.

By the way, I posted a list of my favourite groups of all time, so if you’re interested, you could check it out! ;)

I'll take a look shortly, but I have a feeling that Coldplay & Oasis will definitely be there, potentially 1D too! ;)

I'll also post the results to this week's Emoji Challenge in a few minutes.

Oh, I know Cameron will win this Emoji Challenge, he beat me to the song twice lol.

By the way, if you have enough time to take another look at my Crown Note chart, you'll see the singles chart predictions for next week & the albums chart for this week! ;)

Haha, you were the first to get the theme though, but either way, I'll also post the updated leaderboard beneath this week's results! :D

Hey, dear mate! It's always so nice to hear from you week after week! Thanks for that!
Yep, sadly South America is being hit hard to Covid 19 these weeks actually, especially Brazil. In Argentina we are still controlled due to a never-ending lockdown since March the 16, but it's the only way to stay safe. Thanks for asking and the concern!
And so.good that list of yours!! Icona Pop and Swedish House Mafia!! Wooow, what a bangers!!

Insomnia by Faithless! So goood

Thanks Dami! I'm very glad to hear that. Same to you too! :)

While it that Argentina are still under strict lockdown restrictions, at least it means that your country isn't being hit anywhere near as badly as its neighbours.

I'm glad you're loving those throwbacks, as 2012-2013 was a really successful period for EDM, which is actually one of my all-time favourite genres!

I totally agree with you.
I also love EDM music! I really hope it hits strong again in the charts and music scene. Hopefully many acts as Joel Corry, Jonas Blue, Alesso, Becky Hill or Medusza, among others, are waving the flag of dance music!!
I have posted my personal throwback dance chart a few minutes ago!

I'll take a look at that! :D

Seeing any kind of throwback chart is awesome, but the fact that it's a dance one is even better, haha.

Absolutely!

Yup, one of the most iconic dance anthems ever! ;)

I did! :)

For your albums, I really like that Chromatica is #1, and Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial re-enters at #10. For your predictions, I’ll take a listen to Broken Glass shortly, but I love that This City and Alice are set to enter the Top 10!

Here are my predictions:
1) Rover - S1mba ft DTG (+1) [433]
2) Who’s That What’s That - Niko B (+5) [427]
3) ily (i love you baby) - Surf Mesa ft Emilee (-2) [402]
4) Never Say Die - CHVRCHES (new) [399]
5) Be Kind - Marshmello & Halsey (-2) [367]
6) Domain - KSI (+20) [353]
7) This City - Sam Fischer (+10) [351]
8) PTSD - G Herbo ft Juice WRLD, Chance The Rapper & Lil Uzi Vert (+5) [338]
9) Clap Your Hands - Le Youth ft Ava Max (=) [315]
10) Kashmir - KSHMR (-6) [313]

It's insane how much 'Chromatica' is growing on me! We nearly had four tracks from it in the Top 10 this week... in its second week. Even 'Chromatica II' (an interlude!) is set to debut next week, partly because its transition into '911' is perfection! :D

I'm glad you're generally liking the singles chart predictions, especially now that you've heard 'Broken Glass' for the first time.

As for yours, I absolutely love that 'Rover' is on course to become your new #1, along with 'Who's That What's That' taking the runner-up & 'This City' also entering the Top 10 on your own chart!

Had to remove some words if not OCC won't approve 🙄

So What's Poppin won't make the Top 40 at all? >:(

Unfortunately :/

Is coffee for your head going on it? Mad! Boss had a good run and adore you has spent 7 months in the top 40 so fair play to it! Wanted to see it’s run continue :(

Sad to see coffee for you head on ACR. It did have a really great run run though. Really thought it would've happened quicker.

I don't mind the rest of them going because I either don't care about them or hate them

Yeah, it’s terrible that What’s Poppin has to go on ACR, but thank God they ACR’d Melanie Martinez. The whole world knows how I feel about her at this point.

Yeah not much going on this week

Come together, right now...

... over me! :D

And your wholesome village lol. ;)

Haha, well, I've got a few more motivational messages from my village to come! ;)

Thank god Chris Brown got to No 40!

It just got another reset haha! So it's on 0 weeks of decline again oh man

Yeah, 'Perfect isn't even a bad song in my opinion, but it's getting so old now! :P

I think it'll probably get another reset within the next three weeks too... :P

Who is still buying and streaming it? :o

Probably couples who are madly in love, haha! :P

Same... maybe it deserves to go on ACR again if all these good songs can? One thing I've noticed about songs that go on ACR... they're all songs that people will remember in years to come.
I think 'death bed' will be on ACR next week. Lets hope the EDM songs 'Flowers', 'Secrets', 'Breaking Me', 'ily' and 'Don't Need Love' (and possibly one day 'Fake Friends') can avoid ACR for a bit. Great to see 'Pour The Milk' get a new peak at No 45. I hope it goes Top 40... it's one of my favourite songs right now. :)

The thing is with ACR, it'll only knock the old songs down the chart, but not out of the Top 100 altogether. This is why 'Mr Brightside' is still here after all this time! I personally prefer Billboard recurrent rules for the Hot 100 chart, where basicaly ongs are removed entirely after a certain number of months in the chart & only re-enter if they get a really big resurgence in performance.

I'm hoping 'Fake Friends' & 'Pour The Milk' will be the next EDM hits to make the Top 40, but I'd definitely like another dance song to join 'Breaking Me' in the Top 10 next week, with 'Secrets' looking the most promising at the moment! :)

I think 'Flowers' will drop again next week, if any deserve to go to the top 10 it's that. I hope 'Breaking Me' goes all the way, but I'll be happy if it peaks at No2 , the same as the BigTop40. Another hit I want to go to No 1 is 'Rover'. It would be great if 'PTMilk' could get to the top 10, but I think it would go on ACR before then :(

Hey, I'm not ruling a #1 for 'Breaking Me' on the Big Top 40 yet, especially when their chart includes airplay & doesn't have ACR. :)

I thought 'Rover' might've had a chance, but the two songs above it are very strong right now!

Sadly, for as awesome as it would be, I don't see 'Fake Friends' going Top 10, but Top 40 might happen for it for a few weeks.

Same. I hope Joel Corry is in the chart next week too, but if he's not, it's not the end of the world. Another song I hope goes top 10 is 'ily' which is my favourite song right now. It's a summery hit, and it's summer, and it's quickly climbed the top 100, but there are some strong hits in the top 40 that won't leave (Dance Monkey and Blinding Lights). A song that I hope goes on ACR soon is 'Toosie Slide'. I used to like it, but it's a bit 'meh' now.

I hope pour the milk does it! Fake friends will be a slow climber but I can see it going places if radio picks it up!

'ily's climbing really fast thanks to TikTok, so I'm hoping it can get there too.

Yeah, 'Toosie Slide' is far from Drake's worst, but it hasn't aged as well as I'd have liked personally! :P

It seems like a lot of major stations have been picking up on 'Fake Friends' lately, so I think it's chances of hitting the Top 40 are looking fairly promising at the moment! :D

I remember showing you fake friends before it got big :) hope it gets massive it’s such a banger! Capital fm playing it now?? I know kiss fm play both fake friends and pour the milk

Oh yeah, it's in the Big Top 40 chart for a second week, where Will Manning (the show's host) actually spoke to PS1 from New York & Alex Hosking from Australia! :D

Chris Brown is amazing

The first one is “Clap Your Hands” by Le Youth featuring Ava Max and I adored it from first listen and still do to this day! Le Youth’s groovy production is obviously a highlight of the song, with the crisp dance beat and the cool keyboard. This is also helped by Ava Max delivering her best vocal performance to date, with her reaching a mind-blowing note before the drop! Then there’s the lyrics which are very feel-good and are about music helping you through rough patches. To be fair, there’s a lot of Avatars on here, so I’m genuinely surprised these ones haven’t heard it, because it’s in a high league of awesome. It will get from me, a 10/10!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvhfq3eF2gI

Secondly, we have Someday by Lliam & Latroit, a tropical house song. I wasn’t expecting any of yous to know this, but if you’re a fan of Jonas Blue, Kygo etc, then you should really enjoy this! The production is very summery with the vibrant bass, fun keys and a very tropical drop. The vocals fit this sort of track perfectly. Moving onto the lyrics, which as you can tell, make the song another feel-good tune, as the person singing asks why someone is waiting for another day, when good things have already come. I don’t know about you guys, but I feel this is perfect for summer and it’s gotten a lot of streams from me. Light 9/10!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvEEHotoqEw

Thirdly, we have the song at the top of Piran’s chart as of writing, Shooting Star by Anna Yvette, which revolves around a case where synth-y songs are really good in my opinion! I mean, I despise Blinding Lights, this is much less annoying to me. It’s pretty annoying that Anna herself only had around 8.2k fans at the time of release, because her voice is incredible and fits this sort of track (it’s great that Microsoft discovered her). This is also carried by the twinkling 80s-style beat that sounds very cool and the guitar solo was a surprisingly good addition to the song! I’d say a solid 8/10 for this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXgHcdLM7lM

Fourth pick is A Moment Apart by ODESZA, which plays in the title screen and… OHHH!!! This is just a breath of fresh air to this soundtrack! There’s no lyrics and about 75% of the time, I don’t hear any vocals. But how is an instrumental this good? I’ll analyse it: the violins that abruptly start the song are better than they should be, then we reach a climax, which abruptly stops, then suddenly piano comes in which just gives me goosebumps, then another climax slowly builds up, which blows me away, and the violins come back, only more carefully played and boom – you’ve reached one of my favourite instrumentals of all-time and needless to say, it’s beautiful… 10/10!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xarC5jAiO7w

Finally, there’s Never Say Die by CHVRCHES, which I recently got into. It took some time to grow on me, but as I was never really that into CHVRCHES, I need to get more into their music if this is what I’m promised. Obviously, I know Lauren’s voice and I know how powerful it is. This is also helped by a fuzzy beat which works for once, and when it builds into a drop, it just sounds beautiful! Then we have lyrics about bailing in a relationship, which actually sound nice. My only nitpick is that I don’t know how to feel about the fuzz before the closing synths and drums, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s awesome. I’m gonna give this a very strong 8/10!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifr3O33UpWs

And I believe that’s it! Not much to say other than I’m hoping for an eventful week next week, for the next review. Stay safe everyone! :)
My latest Crownnote chart: http://crownnote.com/charts/coolocelot101/cool-ocelots-top-50-13

Amazing reviews mate, although with it being #1 on my current chart, I obviously wish 'Shooting Star' scored a bit higher, haha.

I love your new chart too, which I commented on last night! :)

Nice review again! I'd rate Go Crazy a solid 7/10, I love Chris Brown.

Thanks mate! :)

I'm kind of mixed on Chris Brown as a whole! I like some of his R'n'B & dance music, but I've never been a huge fan of his personality, especially after what he did to Rihanna.

Nice review! Hoping to see Ella Henderson in the Top 40 next week, after all she was at the top of the new music friday uk spotify playlist.

Thanks Connor! :)

I hope so too! She's in the Top 10 on iTunes which is promising, but I want to see some stability over the weekend before I get my hopes up.

I too have problems with my notifications. Guess it's general.

Yeah, it seems that way! It's so annoying have to go on the article itself though, especially when the site is so slow with everyone using it. :/

Good review as always, might do one later, although there really isn't much of a point.

As for Go Crazy, its a 6 from me, I really like Young Thug on it, but Chris Brown is really boring.

FROM UK, THE BEST ARTISTS CAME REMEMBER DEPECHE MODE, SOFT CELL, THOMPSON TWINS, NEW ORDER, DURAN DURAN, SUGABABES, PET SHOP BOYS, BROS, ULTRAVOX, ABC, BANANARAMA, SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR, LISA STANSFIELD, TAKE THAT, M PEOPLE... AND MUCH MORE,,, AND NOW !! ONLY HIP HOP AND TRAP IN THE TOP TEN ???? WHAT HAPPEN.. WITH YOUR CULTURE... THE WORLD IS CRYING FOR THIS SITUATION, AND WE WAIT A LOT OF MORE BRITISH ARTIST.... IN THE TOP TEN, THE LIGHT OF THE POP , INDIE, HOUSE... DANCE ,... PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Totally agree

Thanks Unverification! :)

Yeah, this might be the most uneventful week on the charts since I started these reviews back in mid-2016! :O

Glad we have the same score for 'Go Crazy' though! :D
