Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 07/8/2020

Same, plus I think it will be in a few weeks.

Yeah, I thought it felt a bit strange too.

It's like walking past your old primary school when you're at secondary school or something! :P

I love all their music, think I've mentioned them here before. Their last album was my favourite of last year, I'd highly recommend it as it's only like 25 minutes long.

Also it's nowhere neat their most distorted song, that probably goes to 800db cloud or gec 2 U.

well i’ve listened to a bit of stupid horse, but it was only a bit as it was 1am last night.

That's one of their best in my opinion, also their most likely song to got to mainstream (although it still has a really low chance).

Yeah, it's pretty great.

She's had hits in the streaming era, so there's a chance of it going higher, but I kinda doubt it sadly.

That's not relevant here, this is a music forum. It was hilarious though, I'll give you that.

is this even relevant? :P

Anyway no, I'm only 13.

No, but looking at this profile, this guy is a troll anyway. This was pretty hilarious though.

yeah, i assume this user is trolling lol.

sorry if i’m pestering you, but you still haven’t joined the server. 😂

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot. Should have it done soon.

there’s still time.

1. Don't Kill My Vibe
2. Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst
3. Alright
4. The Blacker The Berry
5. LOYALTY.
6. How Much A Dollar Cost
7. LOVE.
8. .
9. Money Trees
10. m.A.A.d city

oh i’ve just seen this now lol. i like don’t kill my vibe at number 1 and especially sing about me, i’m dying of thirst and alright in the top 3. i’m also fascinated that we both have the same song at number 10! :P

It had to be approved because of Don't Kill My Vibe being not censored enough. D:

Glad you like my Top 10 though, even having the same song at 10 like you mentioned lol.

rest in peace, whitney.

Well done Unverification! See, I can let others win lol. ;)

Number 6 was really hard, I would have never have gotten it

Haha, I think you're still leading for now, so unless Cameron wins next week, your reign isn't at any real threat! ;)

It's not a very well known song to be fair! :P

I was thinking of the one by Loud Luxury to be specific, haha.

GG everybody, no one else was really playing, but still, a victory is a victory. It was quite a hard week this week, especially Song 6, couldn't think of a single thing for it.

Thank you. I don't think it was a matter of letting others win, you just weren't here lol.

Song 6 was very hard because there aren't many hits with that title (more songs that I like personally). Still, congratulations anyway! Can you repeat your victory again tonight? ;)

GET IN THERE!!! :D
(lol i tried to find a gif of ksi and couldn’t find any)

You know what, this might be another 10/10 from me!

Haha, it might be my favourite song that isn't 'Head & Heart' nor anything from 'Folklore' at the moment! ;)

Maybe it's time for Lighter to be number one

I hope so! It's looking set to remain at #3 in the next chart though.

I think it could jump up to number two, I'm not sure if it will get number one

The video is amazing too, especially the start where they’re playing poker and JJ gives up! :P

I loved the banter between them at the start of the video! :P

Also, did you notice that around 30 seconds into the song, Nathan taunts him by saying; "Ooh... I got a Top 10, now I'm the alpha male!"? That aged well, didn't it?

'Savage Love' might be going on ACR next Friday if it declines in performance this week, so I think it could be #2 in a couple of weeks time. 'Head & Heart' is just too strong at the moment! :P

Yeah, I loved the banter at the start and the end... where the team are all done with basketball... and JJ is absolutely fuming that Nathan just walks off with the girl when he did an extraordinary dunk! :P

Haha, yeah, I've seen so many memes about that last part on YouTube! :P

I still wish Ella Henderson got credited on 'Lighter' though! I wonder why she didn't...?

Yeah, Ella deserved credit, so that it’ll be titled: “Lighter (feat. Ella Henderson & KSI)”. Maybe she didn’t wanna get credited? Either way, she killed it.

“Lighter (feat. Ella Henderson & KSI)” sounds better in my opinion! :P

Annoyingly, her own song, 'Take Care Of You', is barely inside the Top 50 & it probably won't get much higher.

Yeah, I like it too lol.

I know Capital are on board with Take Care Of You, but radio doesn’t count for the chart unfortunately. Otherwise it’d be in the top 30 at least haha.

Unfortunately, 'Take Care Of You' did just collapse on the radio, falling 15-30 on the UK Airplay Chart this week! That being said, the good news is that 'Dancing In The Moonlight' climbed to #1. ;)

Hey mate! :)

I'm signing off for now, but I'll chat to you again tomorrow.

I really hope it gets to Number 1 on this chart, I think its even better than Head & Heart.

i’ll catch up with you tomorrow when you’re available. :)

I'm actually online right now! :)

oh hello! :)

I actually prefer 'Head & Heart', but yeah, 'Lighter' does deserve to spend some time at #1. :)

Hey! What's up? :)

the sun and clouds haha. ;)

Haha, or the ceiling! ;)

Oh shoot lol. Though aren’t Captain Tom Moore and Michael Ball different from the rest?

Either way, that’s something I didn’t notice. :O

Yeah Captain Tom Moore and Michael Ball count as well

I've just checked the artists that took part in the Times Like These charity single and all of them are different as well

Yep, I've really enjoyed the variety this year, no song has really overstayed it's welcome at the top either.

Yeah they've all stayed at the top for a few weeks and then been replaced rather than songs like Dance Monkey which was top for 11 weeks

Taylor Swift, Halsey, Eminem, Coldplay, Juice WRLD, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi & Kendrick Lamar? ;)

All correct! ;)

Awesome! :D

I responded to his comment. I literally cannot take his comment (oops, suggestions since Im commenting from a phone) seriously.

It's that stupid that I don't know whether or not to laugh at it or get mad at it! :P

I just shook my head lol.

As far as I'm concerned, to anyone who's nasty to Taylor, why don't you attempt to release an album that'll shift as many copies as her? :P

Eminem is my favourite rapper and he is nearly 50 and still releasing good music, age doesn't make a difference at all.

Exactly! Besides, he's still getting #1 albums & #1 singles in his late 40's, so age clearly isn't an issue. :/

For example Eminem got his first number one when he was 28, then on the other hand Britney Spears got her first number one when she was 18, if you're good enough then you're old enough

Exactly! Then you've artists like Captain Tom Moore or Dame Vera Lynn who are both over 100 years old & they're topping the charts to this day.

Maybe he meant people would stop listening to her because she became old? If that's what he's trying to say, I understand, most people don't like music from older people.

But if he's not, what an idiot. Age dosen't effect the quality of the music, there are older people releasing better stuff.

There's hardly anyone who can do that. Maybe Kanye, but outside of that no one could really manage it.

yeah, he’s basically saying no one will listen to taylor swift anymore because she’s getting older. like, oh please, shes still getting number 1 albums and it’s been that way since 2006! he’s just ageist and i can’t take him seriously.

No offence to him, but Kanye can't pull off those opening week numbers anymore. although he could certainly still land #1 albums in the US & potentially the UK! :P

She's not that old though... she's only 30! Sia, Eminem & Kanye are all way older than her, but they're still getting hits.

His best song in my opinion! :)

Yeah, it’s such an amazing summer rap song! I especially love that “by the time you hear the next pop, the funk shall be within you...” part. :D

Haha, that part is iconic! ;)

I love this song, a 10/10, and it's nowhere near his best for me.

Yeah, I give this a 10/10 too! :)

I might make a Kendrick Lamar top 10 in a few minutes.

I'm trying to, it won't go through for some reason. It's probably because I didn't censor Don't Kill My Vibe properly, but it still won't send a reply to it anymore.

I personally preferred Poker Face

I like most of Lady Gaga's songs tbf

No proper lyrics and that girls voice is annoying as ... but that beat dropped so hard!!! Honestly, the drop is the only good thing about the song in my opinion.

Yeah but the song as a whole is awful, their later songs got better like Closer, Don't Let Me Down, Something Just Like This etc.

I completely agree! This is honestly one of the worst songs of all-time in my opinion, but 'Closer' is the complete opposite for me, haha. ;)

I’m not exactly harsh on the song, but it’s not good by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh the irony! Closer is in your top 10 favourite songs of all time, and Selfie is on the opposite top 10. :P

Yeah Closer is a very good song, I think I prefer Something Just Like This to Closer though

Same here, I love Something Just Like This, because 1) Coldplay’s name is on it, 2) it’s got a great drop and lyrics and 3) it’s aged brilliantly well! :)

Coldplay are definitely one of my favourite bands

'Something Just Like This' would have to be a close second for me, mainly thanks to Coldplay, haha! :D

Haha, yeah, they have both a strong 10/10 song & a light 1/10 song! :P

They’re one of mine as well. :)

Their second worst behind Closer for me. It's just so cringe, the song that aged worst from last decade.

Do you think Closer is worse than Selfie?

Yep, I just despise Halsey on it, I just despise her music.

Fair enough, I don't mind Closer but I think Selfie is horrendous

in terms of halseys music quality, we’re literally opposites lol. i just really adore her voice.

I agree on a majority of these, especially 1-3 and 5-7.

MY CHOICE: I really hate Yummy but I’ll take any top 10 song from 2020 over Savage Love lol. So I choose Yummy.

I'd definitely go with Savage Love, the beat is so good, the version without Jason Derulo is in contention for my song of the summer.

Yummy on the other hand is one of the worst songs of the year so far, the lyrics are dumb and the beat is almost worse than Kings & Queens.

I don't like Savage Love but it's ten times better than Yummy

Yummy is one of the worst songs of the year, you’re right (its probably number 5 or 6 on my list so far), but at least that wasn’t as overplayed as Savage Noise. :P

I hate both with a passion, so it was hard to pick mine, but Yummy got the edge. Still, the less said about that the better! :P

I wouldn't say I despise Savage Love but I'm not a fan, Yummy is one of the worst songs I've ever heard

'Savage Love', easily! :P

That song only got annoying because of; 1) the extreme overplay on literally every mainstream radio station & 2) the "siren beat" not being able to leave my mind to the point where it became irritating.

'Yummy', on the other hand, has immature lyrics, lazy production & grating vocals! It's still on track to become my worst song of 2020 so far, not even counting the hits. It makes 'Intentions' look like a masterpiece by comparison & I'm not even a fan of that song either, haha!

Eh, I haven't really experienced an overplay for Savage Love, maybe it's because I'm not a big radio listener, but still.

Also, overplay dosen't effect the quality of the music. You can't review something off of that in my opinion.

yeah, the song is so overplayed lol. and that siren beat ain’t all that special either imo.

oh yeah, yummy is terrible, it’s such an immature, boring dreck, but i’ll take any top 10 song from 2020 over savage noise at this point. still, it’ll end up in my top 5 worst hit songs of 2020! :P

i don’t like intentions either lol.

Even 'Blinding Lights'? :P

yes, i’d even take blinding lights over that, at least there was more appeal in the song, despite it still getting a 2 or a 3 from me.

Haha, it's still a 10 for me! ;)

Same, I really think it deserved that as well.

It was kept off number one by Take Me Back To London which I don't mind as a song but Higher Love is much better

Yeah, a 6/10 compared to a 10/10 for me.

I loved both but yeah, I agree with you.

I do like the original as well

Definitely, the remix is so much better. The original is great too, but I just love the remix.

What I like about the remix is that it doesn't change much to the original song and it still has the same flow

Yeah, they managed to capture what the original was going for and just improved on it.

Yeah, it makes sense, but I'm not happy about it.

I don't know how this has over 1 billion views

https://youtu.be/vjW8wmF5VWc

if anyone has to knock it off Nathan Dawe has to and not Harry Styles or Jason Derulo

I agree, if I had to choose one song in the current top 10 to knock Head & Heart off number one, I would choose Lighter

I kinda prefer Lighter, so I'd rather see that up there, but I'm not complaining about it

I really hope Savage Love or Watermelon Sugar take it, I think there both a 0.

I think I slightly prefer Head & Heart but I would like to see Lighter get to number one at some point

Yeah, really good song. I wish it did better here than it actually did though, even though it was quite big.

This song also ended Drake's 15 consecutive weeks at number one with One Dance

Lean On is one of my favourite songs by them <3

I think Cold Water is better than Lean On

I never thought of it that way, but yeah, physical sales would be a horrible real chart.

The people who complain about streaming also probably complained about downloads back when they started being allowed in the chart.

I think the era of physical sales was probably better than downloads and streaming and was more of an accurate chart but physical sales just wouldn't work in the charts today so downloads and streaming makes perfect sense

i remember in november, someone said that using sales to determine the most popular songs in the streaming age is like counting down the biggest selling oil lamps in the age of electricity. really true though!

I can understand people's frustration with streaming but it's the best way to determine the charts right now

Bye Piran, seems to be a really slow week this week for comments. Good song too.

Aw, I’m back lol. Bye anyways.

Same time as Mateusz funnily enough.

I'm back too... two days later, haha! :P

Yeah, not a lot of activity this weekend for some reason! :/

It hasn't left all to much, I've usually seen it from 70-85.

It makes regular appearances in our chart, with this being its 237th week inside the Top 100 (by far more than any other song in UK chart history!). :O

That’s amazing I’m surprised that older songs can last this long on your chart haha

They usually don't though, it's just this song that manages to just stay forever.

Though they do last way longer than the Hot 100 most of the time, even with ACR halfing the streaming numbers of songs.

Haha, it's because 'Mr Brightside' is the kind of song that everyone in the UK will always play at parties, whether they're staying in or going out! ;)

That’s interesting I’m guessing that’s why Perfect is still around

#1: Ke$ha - VIP
#2: Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
#3: Taylor Swift - 22
#4: Mars Argo - Runaway Runaway
#5: Azealia Banks - 212
#6: Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons
#7: Grimes - Genesis
#8: Marina - Hollywood
#9: Lady Gaga - Disco Heaven
#10: Little Boots - Remedy

Six number one singles there

Ella Henderson"s Ghost is a pop masterpiece!! What a banger!!

1) King Kunta - Kendrick Lamar (2015)
2) I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift (2012)
3) Music Sounds Better With You - Stardust (1998)
4) Slide - Calvin Harris ft Frank Ocean & Migos (2017)
5) Mr Brightside - The Killers (2004)
6) Freak Like Me - Sugababes (2002)
7) It Was A Good Day - Ice Cube (1992)
8) Fix You - Coldplay (2005)
9) Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake (2002)
10) Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Eurythmics (1984)

I love: #1, #2 (Taylor! 😍), #5, #7, #8, #9 & #10! So many classic here. :)

Yeah, 2014 saw a lot more #1's that lasted a week or two at #1! Back then, getting a month or more at #1 was really something special, haha. :)

I think in 2014, only Happy, Rather Be, and All About That Bass spent several weeks at number one. The rest only spent one or two weeks at number one.

I love your #2 & #3 especially! Taylor is my all-time favourite & it was my 22nd birthday back in March, so how could I not love '22'? ;)

22 is kind of an important number, from my birthday being on the 22nd

and my brothers, my dad's, some relatives
it's such a coincidence.

guess I'm feeling 22

Haha, it looks like it's a lucky number for your family then! ;)

It really deserved to top the charts over here! :D

Yeah, I think 'Happy' was the longest, but even then, didn't that "only" manage five weeks at #1 to become the longest chart-topper of 2014?

Definitely me! :P

Haha, let's see if you can win here again! ;)

Same, it'll be fun regardless. Will there be a theme this week?

No theme this week unfortunately!

I just haven't really found the time to do one today, haha.

I normally do the emoji challenge but unfortunately I have to pass this week due to other commitments

Fair enough. Hopefully you'll able to participate next week! :)

No, I’ve got stuff to do.

Fair enough.

Eh, I don't really mind either way, if anything I slightly prefer no theme, but that's my opinion.

Yeah hopefully, it was my birthday on Wednesday so me and the family are going out for birthday meal and drinks

Haha, well this week might be better for you then, especially with some people being busy elsewhere! :P

Aw, sounds nice! :)

It was my brother's birthday on Tuesday, so we went out for a family meal on Wednesday, meaning we got the 50% off food & non-alcoholic drinks under the government's new scheme.

Yeah, most people who'd usually compete won't be here, unless someone else like Mateusz shows up (which I hope he does).

I think he's currently on a walk, so I'm not sure if he'll be online either.

Hey, at least it means you'll essentially get a free gold medal, haha! ;)

Very good, hope you enjoyed it. This scheme is probably the only decent thing the government has done.

Oh well, I'll take a free victory any day.

Yeah, it's a really good way to boost the economy, without allowing restaurants to be too busy at any one time.

Haha, I think it'll also be the first week where you've had consecutive OCC wins! ;)

Probably, hard week this week though.

Haha, yeah, but none of them are really old songs! :P

Don't Hold My Hand? or Don't Need Love?

Bad Girl by Madonna?

Close, but not that one! :P

Good guess, but that's not it! It is currently in the charts though. ;)

Nobody's Love?

Not that one! :P

Bad B*tch Bebe Rexha?

Dangerous Woman!

What's Love Got To Do With It?

That's it! :D

I think it's my favourite too actually! :D

I think that's five points for you already! ;)

I'd probably put sweetener and especially thank u, next over it, but it's still great.

I think it's six actually, still trying though.

Pumped Up Kicks?

Now you're officially the winner of this week's Emoji Challenge! :D

Time Is On My Side

Opposites Attract

No, it's actually one of my favourite songs of all-time! :P

I'll post the results a bit later today, so you've still got like an hour or two to guess even more.

No, but this is a very difficult one, haha! :P

Oh yeah, you got six in total, but you were on five at the time I made this comment! :P

Good guess, but that's not it! :P

I'll reveal the answers now.

Correct! :D

Not sure why some of my comments have been deleted or didn't post, but your answers to Songs 8,9 & 10 were all correct! :)
