Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 18/9/2020

So this one is just for Coolocelot & Mateusz only...

DECIDER SONG: "You know I hate it when I'm left on read, but he make it all up in the bed."

well, i guess it had to come for fake friends and lighter. to see cardigan declining.

Friday week is going to be terrible for me then! :(

yesssz!!!! Upvoting Kylie forever!! Thanks mate for doing it. Its not I don't like Madonna, by the way they are 2 pop icons who survived 40 years in music biz, I dunno who of the new girls could last a career that way?

Wrong way round in my opinion.

amazing song!!!

ACR is basically where if a song has been on the chart for 10 weeks or more, and on a 3 week decline, the streams get halved.

I'm also sad One Day wasn't a hit, it really deserved to be.

bienvenido Franco!, de donde sos? Yo de Buenos Aires

oh interesting !. Thanks

Hola Dami ! soy de Lima. Recientemente me animé a comentar en los charts.

Que bueno amigo peruano!! Y mejor que te hayas animado! Welcome!!

take care piran! ✌️

You too! :D

That's why we call it 'Cwap'! :P

Also, I surprised all of you by saying that I like a 6ix9ine & Kanye West collaboration! :P

that was last night, wasn’t it? :P

That's right! :P

I forgot that existed, great song in my opinion.

I explained on Discord last night why I liked it! :P

I know I said that 'Lemonade' could be a future chart-topper for you, but given your reaction when 'Mood Swings' played on the chart show earlier, I think it might be #1 for a while after all! ;)

look out for these songs next week;

Thanks for the comment mate! :)

I never thought I'd see a Melanie Martinez song at #1, but then again, Mateusz now likes 'Dance Monkey', so it seems like anything can happen on here, haha.

I also love your: #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9 & #10, but I'll need to revisit #4!

Good choices.

oh, it wasn’t long ago that i said play date was horrible, but it’s really warmed to me and i think it’s her best since drama club! it’ll take a long while for me to actually like melanie as an artist, but that one is decent lol.

glad you like a majority of my top 10 though! :P

Oh yeah, I'd say I love eight songs in your Top 10! :D

that’s four fifths! ;)

Yeah, that shows how I much I love your throwbacks this week! ;)

well, this week has an entry one of the best pop track ever recor
ded in British pop history that is Ghost! Ella's first number one has always been my favourite. I also love My life would without you!! A powerful hit by Kelly Clarkson. Loved this week!

hey Coolo!, loved so much Feel the Love, John Newman is amazing, he deserves to be back on the charts again!!. And Brian Adams 'classic will always be a favourite

Hey Dami! :)

I'm really pleased to see such positive remarks from you regarding 'Ghost'! I knew you mostly love 80's or 90's pop smashes from the UK, so it's a pleasant surprise that you're loving one from 2014 too.

'My Life Would Without You' is indeed amazing, even if I'll always be mad at it for blocking my favourite song of all-time from #1, haha!

Thank you mate! By the way I love 80's and 90's UK hits but I also love music from the 00's, 10's and current music. I complain on current UK singles chart because it has developed more into rap/trap than pop, and I'm a crazy fan of British EDM/pop music

I'm more a pop & EDM fan myself, although the charts have definitely been more influenced by rap than ever before now! :P

I agree that 'Take You Dancing' , but 'Wap' is nowhere near an 11/10 for me! :P

mine;
1) wap (9/10)
2) mood (9/10)
3) ain’t it different (8/10)
4) lighter (9/10)
5) looking for me (8/10)
6) mood swings (11/10)
7) head & heart (7/10)
8) laugh now cry later (8/10)
9) take you dancing (2/10)
10) midnight sky (9/10)

So you like every song in the Top 10 except 'Take You Dropping'? :P

yeah lol. :P

Hopefully it'll be "dropping" out of the Top 10 before too long! :P

WAP (0/10)
Mood (9/10)
Ain't It Different (8/10)
Lighter (9.5/10)
Looking For Me (10/10)
Mood Swings (8/10)
Head & Heart (10/10)
Laugh Now Cry Later (8.5/10)
Take You Ranting (0/10)
Midnight Sky (7.5/10)

which is 70.5/100

6.5+ chart -
1. Mood (-)
2. Ain't It Different (-)
3. Lighter (-)
4. Looking For Me (+2)
5. Mood Swings (-1)
6. Head & Heart (-1)
7. Laugh Now Cry Later (-1)
8. Midnight Sky (+1)
9. GREECE (-1)
10. Tick Tock (-)

nope 0/10 for me :P

I'd give it a 4/10, thanks to Megan Thee Stallion! ;)

I used to but when it dethroned Head & Heart I gave it a 0

Yeah, that was not a good day for the charts! :(

Not me. It wouldn't be close to #10 if not for last week's ACR event. Sad since I like it. it deserved to be #9 at least seen as (ugh) Jason Derulo is there! I guess we're going to let any song go into the top 10.

The fact that Take You Dancing is above Midnight Sky is just 🤦‍♂️

Yes it is weird, she is number one on itunes for a few days now...

haha I missed it last week and I'm about to have tea so hopefully not now!

No, it won't be before 6:30pm, haha. :)

SONG 1: “You've got some things on your mind, I would hate to see you cry.”

SONG 2: “I know you heard it from those other boys, but this time it's real, it's something that I feel.”

SONG 3: “If you're not the one for me, then how come I can bring you to your knees.”

paradise by george ezra

SONG 4: “Baby, lay on back & relax, kick your pretty feet up on my dash.”

SONG 5: “I want your drama, the touch of your hand (hey), I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand.”

if you’re not the one by daniel bedingfield

SONG 6: “You'll be coming back, back for seconds, with your plate, you just can't help it.”

meant to be.

sweet but psycho.

SONG 7: “When it's Friday night & the drink don't work the same, you're alone with yourself & there's no one else to blame.”

SONG 8: “Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy, but they're the only friends that I have.”

SONG 9: “Why are you keeping me at a distance? All that I'm asking for is forgiveness.”

shed a light.

SONG 10: “Deep in the bosom of the gentle night is when I search for the light.”

Correct! ;)

No, actually! :P

bad romance

Correct! :D

Correct! :)

Yes! :)

My favourite song of 2017! ;)

I hope so! :D

I hope so too

It was 1,350 combined sales behind 'Wap' this week.

I'm sure it was closer than that during the week

There's quite a good chance to be honest, although I'd rather have WAP until it goes on ACR.

I actually thought it was further away! Wasn't it like 2,100 combined sales behind on Wednesday?

It might have been but I think someone said that Mood was above Wap on Spotify and iTunes or something

Yeah, but 'Mood' might've been trailing behind a lot on YouTube & Apple Music.

hope you r better tmrw coolocelot!

Take care mate! It sounds like you deserve some rest. :)

yeah, i deserve sleep. i’m getting an early night.

hopefully, but it might not look that way with this stupid p*nd*m*c.

Me too, haha! :P

It's been a tiring few days for me.

I was hoping Fake Friends would progress even further after it finally cracked the Top 20 but sadly it's not to be. Also Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus, probably my favourite song in the upper reaches of the charts right now remains static. I'm fairly indifferent to Mood but it would make a far better #1 than WAP!

I agree with all your negative points. I would've put GREECE in negative but I thought it's had its run. I did point out that it deserved to be #1 if TYDying/Ranting/whatever else was top 10. WAP needs to be ACR next week and I don't even care if its under 10 weeks. It is literally making me depressed.

Tick Tock took a really small climb this week which I was well surprised at, and after a quick listen, I'm starting to like you broke me first a bit ;) so, while I don't want it #1 (Looking For Me can have a 10-week stint haha), I wouldn't mind it going top 10.

Also, how do you feel about Fake Friends which was 2nd week decline last week so probably ACR? :( I said top 10, it didn't. And I'm really sad about that.

Hey Jack! :)

Yeah, 'Fake Friends' appears to have stalled sadly, but at least 'Midnight Sky' stayed in the Top 10 & that 'Mood' is looking like a potential #1 for next week.

I agree! Fake Friends deserved top 10 but it just lost momentum. If not for ACR next week, it may have gone top 10! Mood defo needs to be #1 next week, or anything apart from CWAP or Take You Dying

'Wap' & 'Take You Dancing' just make me depressed anyway, so both of them falling down the charts soon would definitely help! :/

I'm hoping that 'Tick Tock' will get enough of a boost to go Top 10 next week & I'm really glad that 'You Broke Me First' is starting to grow on you now. :)

I'm absolutely gutted about 'Fake Friends' probably going on ACR for the next chart! :(

Tbh WAP is awful but a global 'hit' if that's what we can call it but who actually listens to Take You Ranting? apart from Capital FM i know no one who likes it, especially not the OCC regulars!

Yeah, unfortunately, 'Take You Dying' is one of those songs that crosses over onto the main charts because Capital FM will overplay it. Radio 1 certainly aren't so keen on it! :P

I have to retune my radio

I've got another negative... 'Say So' fell out! :(

I listen to mine through the TV! :)

Of the Top 100? That's not good! :(

ikr!

also Mood Swings climbed 4 places since Sunday XD

Hopefully it'll re-enter. :/

Yeah, it's one of those songs that bounces back throughout the week, isn't it? :P

Hey guy, I follow you for a long time and I decided to chat a bit. I totally agree, in France it is the same : a lot of airplay for jason's savage love and this morning I listened to the radio and...take you dancing...grrrrr...my favourite is surely tick tock by clean bandit...this song isn't played in France, hope it will^^ have a nice evening

I agree ;)

Always a hiper pleasure to read you weekly dear Pi !!

Thank you! It's always a pleasure to read your replies. :)

We agree on a lot of songs in the chart, don't we? ;)

Hey, how you doing? :)

Firstly, I'm glad you to hear that you've been following my reviews for a while now & that you're finally commenting directly on Disqus! Regarding Jason Derulo, 'Savage Love' at least has an addictive hook, but 'Take You Dancing' is just filled with terrible mixing & autotune. :/

I'm really hoping 'Tick Tock' will cross over to as many places as possible really, because here in the UK, it could be going Top 10 in the next chart. I hope you have a good week ahead! :D

Thank you for your reply, I have just seen it^^ have a nice week too !

You're welcome! Thank you. :)

Haha we do :D

hey Piran! good thanks :D

i’m still not okay. :(

Hey Piran!

I'm doing well, how about you.

I've been better thanks, but I've had a decent enough week! :)

Neither am I, despite a good week! :/

Glad you're doing well! :D

Thanks :D how about you?

My week's been good thanks, but today hasn't! :(

hope it gets better tmrw then :)

Hopefully, but given what's on my mind right now, I don't think it will.

Thanks anyway though! :)
