Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 10/7/2020

Agree apart from 1, 6, 7 and 16. The rest of these are absolutely awful.

Some very good songs

I wish Biggie was still alive so he could see that.

Yeah Biggie and 2Pac were taken from us way too young. Biggie's verse in Nasty Girl was originally intended for a song called Nasty Boy which was never released, he recorded his verse on the night that 2Pac was killed.

Imagine if they actually released this though. I would buy it, I love all the songs here apart from 3, 7 and 8.

:D

Glad you like two thirds of the list lol. I can imagine the sales! :D

Best hit probably, although I might prefer I Love It, I don't know it depends.

Although the first two albums and last two albums are much better. Would highly recommend.

I like this, probably their best song, I agree.

Yeah, I agree. It's so repetitive and annoying.

Also the themes of feminism are not done well. Way too shallow and nonsensical.

I would also give a 3, maybe a 4. I actually used to like it quite a bit, but after listening to it so many times it just got worse for me.

Yeah, I agree, barely any structure and a bad message.

I didn't mind it at first but Capital overplayed it and it got on my nerves so much. :/

Yeah, it's far too overplayed, it feels like they play it like every half hour.

SIX?! Woah, I thought I was about to go easy on others! XD

Yeah, Unverification guessed more songs correctly than you, but you were first with the theme! ;)

GG everyone, I really need to keep the theme in mind when doing these. :P

Yeah, it's worth three points, so it's very important! :P

By the way, why is the never a theme on Headline Planet? I've always wondered since I started going on there. :)

I actually don't know... maybe I'll introduce a theme there too one day, haha!

Then again, I think the Official Charts ones have a bit more participation. :)

Yeah, there's usually ones left to answer the next day on Headline Planet, but we're done here in 5 minutes or less.

Yeah, they're not more difficult or anything, so I'm putting it down to less participation on Mondays compared to Fridays.

Speaking of Headline Planet, this week's Hot 100 article is up now: https://headlineplanet.com/home/2020/07/13/billboard-hot-100-dababy-roddy-ricchs-rockstar-spends-5th-week-as-1-song-in-america/

Nice, I noticed you were very close. :)

I could reach 40000 on tomorrow's Headline Planet article! :O

I knew how close you were to it! ;)

Haha, yeah, well I did join in April 2016! :P

I could get there if I’m still on Disqus in 2024! :P

Haha, well you're only 16, so it's certainly possible! :P

Take the time you need Piran. Mental health matters.

Thanks man! I don't know, every time somebody says "it'll get better eventually", things just seem to get worse.

That's fine. Don't feel like you have to be here, and prioritize mental health.

Thanks! I want to be here, but sometimes I feel like I need to be elsewhere to work on myself.

My family said to me about this pandemic: “Things can only get worse before they get better.” It’s like this with people’s mental health sometimes!

Yeah, but what if there were already problems before the pandemic? I hope they're right though!

I am very young (sixteen years old) but I know about Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They produced a lot of Kylie hits and a few Rick Astley songs, didn’t they?

Woww! So very young, my son is 15😂. I'm really happy that new generations as you are still know about them! Thank u Coolocelot!

Yeah, I found out about them recently! ;)

Great! Not the rap music you usually enjoy. They produced cheesy pop songs indeed

Rap may be my favourite genre, but I listen to a lot of other genres too, like pop, house and indie-rock! :P

Great!!!

Oh don't remind me of Jedward! D:

Oh no, don't remind me that they exist. I feel sorry for anyone that had to pit up with them for ages.

My thoughts and prayers are with those people...

Obviously they wouldn’t get a 0/10 like fellow X Factor act Cher Lloyd did, but man, they were trash at music.

2018 was also an amazing year for music and the charts, especially July-October! Really fun to follow. :D

I want Be Kind to go back into the top 40. I love Halsey so much! :)

His best hit probably (unless you want to count Ghost Town as a hit, but that didn't really do much past Week 1), though nowhere the top of his discography.

I agree. Not all rappers are black - see Eminem, MGK, Lil Pump, Jack Harlow... they’re white and they rap!

That's also true. Not really the point I was aiming for but still another problem about it.

I think Princess Of China is better myself, really good song though.

I love Coldplay and they’re my favourite band/group.

One of his best, Stan probably outdoes it for me though.

Lose Yourself is Eminem's best song in my opinion and Stan is his second best

Oh yeah, thats probably second for me.

My ranking of his Number 1s (because I seem to be doing quite a lot tonight) is:
1. Stan
2. Lose Yourself
3. The Real Slim Shady
4. Without Me
5. Godzilla
6. Like Toy Soldiers
7. The Monster
8. Just Lose It
9. Smack That
10. River

I'd say

1) Lose Yourself
2) Stan
3) Without Me
4) The Real Slim Shady
5) The Monster
6) Godzilla
7) Like Toy Soldiers
8) Smack That
9) River
10) Just Lose It

Here are mine;

1) Lose Yourself (my second favourite song of all time)
2) Stan
3) Without Me
4) Godzilla
5) The Real Slim Shady
6) River
7) The Monster
8) Like Toy Soldiers
9) Just Lose It
10) Smack That

And here are my rankings of his studio albums (minus Infinite and 8 Mile)
1) The Marshall Mathers LP
2) The Eminem Show
3) The Marshall Mathers LP2
4) Recovery
5) The Slim Shady LP
6) Music To Be Murdered By
7) Encore
8) Relapse
9) Revival
10) Kamikaze

Ten studio albums and ten number one singles. :P

Only real disagreement is Relapse being too low on the albums list. Here's my ranking:

1. Relapse (10/10)
2. The Marshal Mathers LP (9/10)
3. The Eminem Show (9/10)
4. The Slim Shady LP (9/10)
5. The Marshal Mathers LP 2 (7/10)
6. Kamikaze (6/10)
7. Recovery (6/10)
8. Music To Be Murdered By (4/10)
9. Encore (3/10) (only because of Mockingbird, a top 5 Eminem song for me)
10. Revival (-10/10) (possibly the worst album of all time for me)

As you can tell, I'm mostly a fan of his older stuff, which was absolutely amazing. But past Relapse his albums are just not the same.

He's had some amazing songs like Bad Guy and many more since then, but albums as a whole, yikes.

I mean theres like 8 new entries to the Top 40 and a lot of climbers, but yeah, we need something new in the Top 40.

For me, it’s:

Despacito
I Will Always Love You
Dance Monkey (pains me because I LOVE Drake)
Love Is All Around
Umbrella

Shape Of You
I Will Always Love You
One Dance
Bohemian Rhapsody
Umbrella

Shape Of You (don't like either much though)
I Will Always Love You
One Dance (hate Dance Monkey)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Umbrella (both amazing but Jay Z probably makes Umbrella slightly better for me)

We have the same choices, haha. :)

Shape of You easily
I Will Always Love You
One Dance (hate it but I'd take anything over Dance Monkey lol)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Rockabye easily

Looks like so many people here hate Dance Monkey lol. Many tend to pick Shape Of You as well!

I didn’t really like Shape Of You either. Thank god for Castle On The Hill.

You and Unverification would get along haha.

Yeah, out of all the hits of Divide or maybe even ever, it's 100 percent the best.

My favourite song of his in general is either Antisocial with Travis Scott, or 1000 Nights with Meek Mill and A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, although they both would've been better without him.

Possibly haha

Despacito
EID
Dance Monkey
Love is all around
Umbrella

So we agree on 4/5 of the choices! ;)

Take care fam! ✌️

Bye! :)

You too mate! :D

See you soon! :)

Remember to listen TKN lol. :D

Haha, will do! ;)

Great song with La Rosalia

Yeah this is really good. My favourite from her is probably ghostin or nasa though, or any other song on thank u, next apart from the singles.

I love most of his music, but yeah, this is amazing.

In the 2:35-2:47 segment, I swear I hear a dog... :P

This went from a 4/10 to my favourite song right now. Love this! :D
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0iOSVD1fitU

Oh wow, 'Houdini' could be #1 on your next chart then? :)

I noticed it - Travis Scott is on it also.

Yeah, should be an interesting listen, haha! :P

Oh my god yes. I adore the song so much, glad it got a second chance here.

I still haven't heard it yet! :P

He even raps in Spanish at one point, which I was surprised to enjoy, but it just works so well.

Oh wow, I'm checking this out after I've signed off then! :P

Him on The Breakfast Club shouting “Draaake?!” was too funny! 😂

Why is 'Into The Unknown' being taken off ACR? :/

Wasn’t Frozen 2 added on Disney+?

Yeah! And Show Yourself is already on SCR :P

Oh, fair enough! :P

No! Gooba is going, I’m getting into that one a lot, it’s good hype music! :/

Not a good week for songs with "break" in the title then! :P

Hahaha just noticed that!

Only good thing is Break Up Song going. Rest I'm not happy about, especially GOOBA going away.

I hate Little Mix so much...

Don't like any X Factor acts myself.

18:30 BST. Incase you're in a different timezone

Haha, good point! :D

This is indeed UK time, haha.

Remember, you get an extra three points for the theme! ;)

Correct! :D

Not for this song! :P

Heatwave?

Correct! :D

Yes! :D

It is indeed! ;)

Correct again! :)

Baby It's Cold Outside?

That's right! :D

Correct! :)

No... :P

Yes, but Cameron was first! :P

Yeah, that one was a race and a half. :)

Correct again! :D

Another one right! ;)

Candle In The Wind

Haha, it was really a competition of who could type the quickest! :P

Correct again! :D

I think Candle In The Wind 1997 (the tribute song to Princess Diana) was one of the best tributes ever

I agree! :)

Good guess, but no! :P

Where has Tinchy Stryder been since? 🤔

I don't know where he's gone, I remember he was on I'm a Celebrity a few years ago

They’re always welcome, unless they’re trolling! :P

Definitely! :)

Really loving 1, 2 and especially 4 and 5.

Thanks! Glad you're loving at least four songs here. :)

9 is also good, just haven't heard the rest.

So you were perfect at least in terms of the songs I knew.

Aw, thanks! :D

Unpopular opinion - I think Pumped Up Kicks is overrated

While I disagree with it, it's certainly not an unpopular opinion, as I know a lot of people who think the same thing! :P

I don't think it's bad it's just not as great as what people say it is

Without sounding too predictable, I love it, haha! :D

How sad are you in a scale 1 - 10?

I'd say maybe 1 or 2

1) The Art Of Peer Pressure - Kendrick Lamar (2012)
2) Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (1983)
3) Mama - The Spice Girls (1997)
4) We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift (2012)
5) X Gon Give It To Ya - DMX (2002)
6) Know Me From - Stormzy (2015)
7) Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft Jasmine Thompson (2015)
8) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (1991)
9) American Pie - Don McLean (1971)
10) Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People (2011)

From yours I absolutely adore #1, also like 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and even 10.

Love 1(it was a mega global hit)2, 8 and 9! Whitesnake had THE ballad of the 80"s!!

'Is This Love' deserved to be way bigger than it was! Did you know that it was blocked from reaching #1 in America by 'Faith' by George Michael?

I love your: #2, #5, #6, #7, #8 & #10, but I'm most happy about you putting the goddess at #4, haha! ;)

Hey, Mateusz finally likes Drake! :D

I noticed!! :D

I'm very glad to see that! :D

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I never listened to 100 gecs’ music.

You should, I really like them.

Though they have weird vocals, so I'm unsure if you'll like them. :P

Sad that he died :(

Yeah, it's so good! Wish he never died though.

999 Forever!

I'll have to check it out then! :)

RIP Juice WRLD.

Honestly, that album left me in tears in the outro. Life’s A Mess is inevitably the best one! :D

I don’t see you on board with Wishing Well, as he tries to do his delivery that he did on Robbery.

I'm looking forward to checking out 'Life's A Mess' then, but not 'Wishing Well', haha! :P

I was honestly shaking on December 8... :’(

No one wanted him to die! :(

Legends never die is the title

Thanks for that! :)

May happen to Ski Mask tho 😞

Or Trippie Redd... :(

'Wishing Well' is my favourite from the album, its so good :)

It was actually my least favourite, but even then it was still okay.

That said, I would give a 10/10 to: Righteous, I Want It, Screw Juice and Life’s A Mess. There’s quite a few 8s and 9s as well! :)

Oh really? Fair enough :)

I definitely agree with you on Righteous and Life's a Mess, but I haven't decided what I think of the others you mentioned. The song with Polo G is good as well!

nooooooo

I don't mind, it's kinda growing on me.

Opposite for me, it's dis-growing (that a word?) on me. I'm avoiding radio as I don't want it to go 'Watermelon Sugar' on me and become completely overplayed and unbarable.

I hate the melody to that song and Jason Derulo’s out of breath falsetto. :(

And yet it couldn't hold onto no 1 in my chart :( hope it goes to no 1 in billboard next week!

you too, Piran!

And you too! ;)
