Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 24/7/2020

That'll be interesting.

That means All I Want For Christmas For You dosen't have a much of a chance this year for the week after, seeing as it relies on Christmas and the lead up to it a lot, and most days of sales are past that.

I really want All I Want For Christmas Is You to be number one, it has reached number two for the last three years in a row

I'm pretty sure it would've been last year if it wasn't for ACR. I really want it to get there this year too, kinda surprised it hasn't yet.

Yeah I have no idea how Ellie Goulding reached number one last year

It was a massive controversy last year. Apparently the data was miscounted, over other songs.

There's also a theory that Amazon (it was an Amazon exclusive) payed the OCC to try and get it to Number 1.

I kind of believe it, it wasn't doing well midweek, and suddenly shot up. It wasn't even Number 1 on Amazon, nevermind the fact it wasn't anywhere else.

I'm pretty sure there were people who quit the site over it, which I don't really blame them for, regardless of which one it was.

The song wasn't available on any streaming or download platforms which makes up most of the chart so it's strange that it managed to get to number one

Yeah. I'm really not sure how it did it.

EDIT: My previous comment has been set to be approved. That's a little suspicious. D:

I don't know either, it's just had insane longevity here for some reason.

Yeah, it got popular on TikTok. Should've charted when it first came out, it's a great song.

My favourite Beyonce song is either 6 Inch with The Weeknd or Brown Skin Girl with Saint JHN, but this song is pretty good.

Also, I thought Jay-Z would've had a few Number 1s by that point of this songs release, I could've sworn he did.

Jay-Z has had four UK number ones and Crazy In Love was his first

I meant I thought he had some before this, but I guess he didn't.

Worthy song for a first Number 1 though.

Less than 100 to go now! ;)

We're definitely hitting 1000 comments again this week! :O

We might even get it today, and I think we'll beat next week.

Do you think we’ll get more comments than we did on last week’s article?

I would be on here tonight, but I’ll probably be busy with the Hot 100 article, haha! :P

Yeah, I think we will, we hit 900 on Tuesday last week ai think, and we have it on Monday this week.

I'll also be on the Hot 100 tonight, though I might be semi active.

Also, it's kinda weird seeing this place more active than Headline Planet, it used to feel double the size and now it feels the opposite way.

Yeah, it would be cool if we could do it a day earlier this week, but I'm just happy that we'll be reaching that milestone for a second consecutive week! :D

I'll wait to see how many people they are on it, but it's still usually fairly busy on a Monday night, even if the numbers aren't anything like they were a few weeks back like you said.

Yeah, though I'm not complaining if we do it even on Thursday. I hope we can get there consistently.

As for Headline Planet, it usually has the same first day activity as here, but there's basically no one past Day 1.

It'll be even less active this week seeing as coolocelot won't be on tonight.

Yeah, unlike OCC, there seems to be a rapid drop in the number of comments the night after the article posts.

I wonder why though, they're really similar communities.

Amazing, keep up the good work everyone.

It could be because the chart movement is a bit more exciting in the UK, where #1's generally don't tend to last as long, there's a mix of genres in the charts (due to far less trap) & ACR tends to shake things up a bit more?

That might change with 'Folklore' coming next week though, because for as much as "album bombs" are a thing of the past in the UK, they're very much not in the US! ;)

GG! Really wish I could've made it, the team format looked fun. Will it be back any time soon?

I'll probably do it again in about a month. Until then, I'll stick with mainly individual ones! :)

Cool, either are fine with me.

That's good! Glad you like the Emoji Challenges in general. :)

Haha, don't let Coolocelot see this! He's a Man City fan... :P

No one likes Man Utd tbf

Being a Liverpool supporter, I don't, haha! :P

See, this is what happens when a great artist releases a great album! ;)

"Exile" and "Illicit Affairs" on repeat.....

Haha, look at my personal chart predictions for next week! :P

#1: Joel Corry x MNEK - Head & Heart (=) v [2137]
#2: Taylor Swift ft Bon Iver - Exile (debut) ^ [1398]
#3: Taylor Swift - The Last Great American Dynasty (debut) ^ [1254]
#4: Taylor Swift - Invisible String (debut) ^ [1224]
#5: Taylor Swift - Seven (debut) ^ [1156]
#6: Taylor Swift - Mirrorball (debut) ^ [1097]
#7: Taykir Swift - Cardigan (debut) ^ [1015]
#8: Taylor Swift - The 1 (debut) ^ [972]
#9: Taylor Swift - Betty (debut) ^ [898]
#10: Taylor Swift - August (debut) ^ [786]

Haha, look at what she did to my personal chart predictions!

She surpassed every other song, except for one... ;)

https://crownnote.com/charts/piran-delves/pirans-top-50-23

Ooh, look what she made you do, Exile is #2... XD

Your chart is awesome as usual too! :)

Haha, very creative! ;)

Thanks mate! Is yours up on Crown Note yet?

Awesome! "Exile" is already far in the lead for my next weeks active chart..... :)

Taylor might have one of the biggest album bombs ever in my chart yet again, but as you can see, she won't be challenging for #1, haha! :P

There's a bit at the bottom of the page that tells how to register the music for the chart I think.

It works better in Stan in my opinion, kinda boring alone.

Yeah it does work better in Stan. I like how Eminem took a happy and calm song and used it for a song about an obsessive psycho and it still works.

Yeah, it's weird how well the sample works.

Take care Piran, cool chatting as always.

Take care Jstar! :)

Nice chatting to you too.

take care mate!! se ya!! super cool chat

See u Piran! I'm just about to eat anyway :)

Chat to you over the weekend! :)

Thanks Dami! :D

Yeah, it was a lot of fun tonight.

Nice to see Looking For me at #2 - I really hope ot hits the Top 40

I hope so too! :)

It's already charting on the Big Top 40.

My favourite song on this list is Say Something lol.

yessss!! thanks for the support Coolcelot!! hahaha

I love your #1, #2 is good, kind of mixed on #3, personally not a fan of #4, but can't stand #5! :P

Seriously though, 'Say Something' is good, haha.

<3

I did hear this song and the video earlier though, I really did love the visuals. I need to hear the song again though as I listened to it really early in the morning lol.

Haha, the video is amazing! That stands whatever time of day you watch it. ;)

I know what it may be, but I will not guesd since it is team themed this week haha.

Correct! :D

That's a point for Team 1.

Seven lol.

Second point for Team 1! :)

No, it was 'Mad Woman'.

Oh god that was staring me in the face XD

No, but that's a good guess! :)

Third point for Team 1! :)

That's four! ;)

Team 3 get their first point! :)

Wavung Flag

Second point for Team 3! :)

So close! :O

Surrender

No, but that's a good guess! :)

It's much more recent than that though.

Aaay! My first correct Piran Emoji

I might post it again on Monday though! ;)

Is...? ;)

Correct! :D

Good guess, but no! :P

Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson

Correct again! :D

Congratulations! :)

Correct again! :D

Well done!

Well Coolocelot101 guessed what I would've guessed.

Yeah you got that Yummy Yum

Terrible song, but it was the right answer! :P

Thanks :)

👍

has it finished? my tablet collapsed!

I know you weren't a fan Piran, its alright, you can't like everything.

Wild guess Dont call me Angel

No, there's still a couple more to guess at least.

I had to transfer from laptop to phone!

Haha, it's currently on course to become my worst song of 2020! :P

'Intentions' might not have aged well for me, but at least it's far less embarrassing.

Even more recent! ;)

My mind is blank!

Dont look down?

Who's my all-time favourite artist? ;)

Ooh... good guess! It's by an artist I've been raving about all day, haha. ;)

Dont Start Now? (i think shes your fave)

Dua Lipa's amazing, but she's not my favourite artist of all-time! ;)

Look at my new avatar, haha.

On my phone so don't want to Google the album in case the page refreshes

Invisible String by TS?

Invidible strung

Yes! :D

Dami's got it now... it was 'Invisible String' by Taylor Swift! ;)

Correct, but Dami just beat you to it! ;)

hahah..yessssss

Oh, I heard 'Say Something' for the first time today... it's good! Hopefully it can make the Top 40. :)

I would put it in my personal chart, but Taylor's album bomb will probably stop that, haha!

Wowwwwww! Thanks Piran!! So glad you liked it!! I really do hope it breaks the top 40! I know it's kinda difficult for artists such as Kylie who isn't so popular on streaming or you tube views as the young ones. But I hope it does!! Is having rotation on UK radio's??

You're welcome! It's doing very well on iTunes over here, where I saw it peak inside the Top 5.

I don't think it'll get a lot in the way of YouTube sadly due to her age & I've only heard it once on Capital FM over here, but then again, it's only been out for three days so far!

Yes I understand! She's such a legend and deserves to have another top 40 hit as in her golden times. I remember that a Kylie new single was such an event back in the day. Let's see what happens mate! Thanks for the message!!

You're welcome! :)

I hope you had a nice weekend.

Both are epic!

I'm not a fan of either, but this greatly improves the song.

It really does improve the song. Original would be a light 5/10, while the Joel Corry remix is a strong 8/10 from me.

will have to! ive listened to so many new singles today its unreal:
- StaySolidRocky's EP
- Lighter
- Stuntin' On You
- Summer Nights
- Burn The Hoods
- Tell Me Why

try a minute on Kylie one plz!!

Yeah, it's pretty good.

My throwbacks of the week:
#1: Sigala - Easy Love
#2: Clean Bandit - Stronger
#3: Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE.
#4: Avicii - Waiting For Love
#5: Kygo - Firestone

Faithless is an hymn!!! Love Icona Pop I Dont Care!! nobody can resist dancing to it!

I am unclear on song number 7, can you repeat the name.

Haha, yeah, EDM took over a lot this week! :D

Sandstorm is so great that someone wrote these lyrics.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Darude-sandstorm-lyrics

Sandstorm

All amazing! :)

'Sandstorm', it was a massive dance hit across Europe! :)

I know lol, that song though use to be such a meme, whenever people would ask for a song they would say it was Darude Sandstorm. But I did the opposite haha.

Back to December is my 3rd favorite Taylor song though.

Haha. I was going to say, it's iconic! ;)

He's still making hits

Yeah, he was actually Finland's Eurovision entry last year! :P

'Wishing Well'? ;)

my favourite JW song is WW

Great song, but no! :P

Does it have anyone else on the track?

Mine is 'Come & Go'! :)

Yes!

'Life's A Mess' then? :P

You guessed correctly without intentions! :D

bit of a wild guess - Nuketown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oof, you’re close, but you unintentionally got it with Come & Go.

Nuketown is so underrated lol. Ski Mask’s verse sealed the deal for me.

Haha, that's my favourite song of his! I should've got that straight away, haha.

Haha, 200 points to me then! ;)

Listening to Taylor's new album 😀.

I heard a bit of it. Really good actually.

I have... it's, perhaps unsurprisingly, amazing! ;)

I heard a lot of people have liked it so far.

You listened to it already, I am shocked 😉.

Glad you could be treated to such an amazing surprise this Friday.

It's like Christmas Day for music, haha! :P

Have you heard it yet?

I will try to listen to it later or tomorrow. I am waiting for a package so I can't have music playing right now unfortunately until it arrives.

Fair enough. I think you'll be impressed with it! ;)

It's a indie-folk album, haha.

I want to listen in headphones to get the best quality.

Yeah, that's a good idea! :)

I've been missing the Gunna lately. Glad to see him back from you. :)

Eh, didn’t really like this one I’m afraid.

same :( she's only had 1 uk no 1?

Shame it had to be with one of her worst singles to date, but hey, at least it finally gave her a long overdue #1! :)

Neither did I

I wouldve thought shed have got more. she has on bigtop40 tho

She has so many songs better than this that deserved to be #1!

Yeah, I know 'Gorgeous' was definitely a #1 there! :)

I think either 'Call It What You Want' or 'You Need To Calm Down' was her third.

ME! went to bt40 no1

Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble, and Shake It Off all reached number 2 as well

Oh yeah, of course it did! :P

'Love Story' is my all-time favourite song! It really was robbed of hitting #1.

It was beaten to number one by Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Without You which is Kelly Clarkson's only UK number one

I had no idea who TSwift was then. It was either Now music or BT40 that introduced me to her and that would be Gangnam Style era

Ah, well that's still an awesome song (I was listening to it a couple of days ago), but it's nothing compared to 'Love Story', haha! :P

I've been listening to her on repeat since her self-titled debut album, haha! :D

Also just checked that I Knew You Were Trouble was beaten to number one by will.I.am & Britney Spears - Scream & Shout, and Shake It Off was held off number one by Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

'Shake It Off' not going to #1 is still the biggest shock for me! :O

Too bad it's one of her worst songs. I wish her long deserved Number 1 was one that people actually liked.

I mean it's better than her never getting one, but still.

At least it wasn't Ready For It or You Need To Calm Down, two 0/10 songs.

I’m still participating! :)

Nice! :D

i´m in!!

Cool! :D

yes!

Fab! :)
