Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 25/9/2020

Haha! I am too good at this that Im not even listed 🤣 well done rector and Cameron!

Haha, well, I do them on Headline Planet on Monday nights, so you could get something tomorrow evening! ;)

So, again, this one is just for Cameron & Rector only! ;)

If you're someone else, please don't answer it, haha.

DECIDER ACT: 🖥️ 💰

I'll try to remember 😂

I'm sure I'll remind you all on Discord! ;)

I think u do but im always busy!

Fair enough. My Mondays are getting even busier now anyway! :P

internet money?

24kGoldn

No, it's a group! ;)

Yes! You've won it. :)

congrats

Too bad it's going on ACR next week though! :(

I can explain what that is, if you don't know about it already?

It's still an amazing song anyway, haha.

It goes on ACR next week 😭 it was awesome!

Yes what does that mean? lol. Man I really love her voice, this is easily a 8 out of 10 from the first listen but I am about to move that up two spots after hearing it back and back!

Oh wow, so 'Lighter' is a 10/10 for you now? :D

ACR stands for "Accelerated Chart Ratio", where if a song has been in the chart for at least 10 weeks & loses streaming for three consecutive weeks, the number of streams for it that count towards any subsequent charts are halved.

Hence, this is why you see most songs take massive drops after 10-13 weeks on the chart, unless they're still selling incredibly well!

Piran... Lighter is now a 10/10 for me too ❤ the week it goes on ACR honestly...

No. would not say a ten just yet but a 9...It has the potential to get there though afte next week if it continues to climb!

I guess that makes sense but that . It is such an amazong song..why was she not featured as the lead signer though?

Yeah, so like Billboard have recurrent rules, we have ACR! That being said, that means songs like 'Perfect' & 'Mr Brightside' literally stick around forever in our charts, but they wouldn't in yours.

I actually don't know why Ella Henderson wasn't credited on 'Lighter', but my rating for the song would be a 9/10 too! :D

Typical, isn't it? :(

I have awful timing tbh 😂

Also 3-single rule! Also what are the Billboard rules i forget 😅

Billboard's recurrent rules mean that songs are removed from the chart if...

1) They have been on the Hot 100 for more than 20 weeks & are charting below #50.

2) They have been on the Hot 100 for more than 52 weeks & are charting below #25.

Exceptions are when a song gains in performance in the week it's due to go recurrent, but it'll be removed as soon as it declines!

A song can still re-enter if it is recurrent, but it must satisfy both conditions stated above! Plus, radio airplay also counts towards to the Hot 100, rather than just sales & streaming (which I personally disagree with).

Me too! :P

I'm guessing that's what happened to Supalonely then :/

Yeah, I think so. :/

I think you'll like them! ;)

There tends to be a lot more EDM & pop in the UK charts than there is in the US, but also far less country & reggaeton, haha.

I am listening to the entire top ten now and I can already can hear that they are so different from the US!

You might see more B or A ratings than usual hahaa.. thank you so much for telling me about this forum!

You're welcome! This is definitely more your style of music, haha. :)

Hey if u didnt know the Chart has ACR (10weeks in chart and 3weeks loss of streams a single will lose 1/2 its streams...
The top 10 without it would be -
1. Mood -
2. WAP -
3. Head & Heart -
4. Ain't It Different -
5. Looking For Me +2
6. Mood Swings +2
7. Lighter -2
8. Savage Love -2
9. Take You Dancing +4
10. Lemonade +14

Hey Michael! :)

Glad to finally see you here, haha.

Other than JK, everyone else here is very friendly! :D

I have no idea who that is..I hope we don't run into no problems or it is going to be bad for them..cause I can flip the script haha

I really love how this forum post the etnire hot 100..that is so exciting.

Unfortunately, you'll see why if you scroll down a few posts! :(

Yeah, Billboard should allow comments beneath their full chart too.

Hello and welcome!

Thank you Rector:)

Hi 👋

HI!

I love your username:)

Thanks 😁

Welcome :) I did that a few months back and now am one of the "regulars" here. If you look for a guy called Piran Delves, he's kind and writes a weekly review every week. If you comment an opinion on there, or anywhere, I'm sure people will notice you quickly :D have fun!

welcome to the comments section, trebor! it’s always nice to have someone new here.

Mr Delves is DA legend here!!!

welcome Trebor!!! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

he is - I've told him that he needs to replace Scott Mills as presenter of the chart show :D

Hey Trebor! :)

Welcome to the OCC forum.

How are you this weekend?

Haha, thank you! :D

Thanks again! :D

Hi Piran, I'm good thanks. Sorry, have only just seen these MSG's. Hope you're well!

Hi Dami

Thanks. Good to be here... Although I have a feeling I'll disagree with charts somewhat right now 😂

Thanks. Tbh Piran is one of the reasons I joined and commented. I agree with a lot of what he writes... Except I'm less complimentary on the recent charts 😂

I'm good thanks! Nice to see you back on here. :)

I'm a night worker so I'll be on here and there at random times 🤣

can you please go away? you’re absolutely sick. >:(

Hey newbie go love yourself^^

Its not "dark music"

Unfortunately streaming is the king...look at itunes chart and the official one....

I agree that the new Steps song is a banger and deserves to chart

Are they putting the remix on the radio or the original?
Also I'm really surprised Hallucinate isnt taking off. Dua is a big pop star, had a big album w/ 3 top 15 debuts and top 10 peaks and ACR is a thing.

Maybe if she performs "Hallucinate" somewhere in the UK in England like on a tv show on ITV or BBC then I am sure it will boost sales and streams up which will probably be a good thing to do. I am sure she knows that this song needs more promotion. I mean there was a lot of promotion on that song anyway so a little bit more promotion won't hurt and maybe it could have a rebound of a new peak.

ACR should be removed because it makes it inaccurate and plus it .

Thank You was the original song that was sampled in Stan by Eminem

Yeah, it's also sampled in an EDM song I was listening to this week, which is mainly why it's here! ;)

loved Thank You by Dido...she was a best seller those days

It's also been sampled in so many other hits that I love too! :D

This is quite hard haha

I actually thought it would be easier than the other Emoji Challenges, haha! :P

pop smoke :P

Correct again! ;)

That's another point to you! ;)

21 savage?

Whats the 2nd emoji?

YUNGBLUD?

Correct! :D

It was a drop of blood, but Unverification just guessed it correctly! :P

Correct! :D

Sorry some emojis dont show for me! Sony and android 🤣

Haha, no worries! I'll post the results in a bit. :)

The former is okay, but the latter is amazing! :D

I don't get the comparison, but I agree with you 100%

there is no comparison. i’m just saying what’s terrible and what’s great.

Horrific & meh, respectively! :P

I love the song!

oh, please don’t tell me daisy will make the top 40! it’s horrible.

It is terrible, but looking at all the airplay it's getting & a lack of new releases, I have the unfortunate feeling that it'll be in the Top 40 next week! :(

Midnight Sky, while not my favourite song by any means, is still an upset to see it drop. If we let WAP and Take You Dying go top 10, Midnight Sky should definitely be battling for #1!

Loose just isn't what I expected, and its fall is depressing. Whats more, without ACR, it wouldn't have even gone top 20 last week :O

What You Know Bout Love, strangely, is my favourite Pop song, so so amazed to see it top 40! I hope it does a Mood Swings and go top 10...

Also I love the new M Huncho song haha

airplay? what airplay?

Airplay from Radio 1! While radio doesn't directly affects the chart, it will encourage people to go out & buy or stream the song, which will influence the song's position (usually, it'll push it up the chart a lot!). :/

if you listen to it via radio isn't that technically streaming?

No, it doesn't count as streaming. That has to be through a platform other than the radio or stores where you can buy a song!

You know I'm here for the Prince Of Pop scoring another UK Top 10. :) Happy 21st Top 10!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bospUsfMHWU

I think what’s truly horrible is that you can be the country’s best-selling single and only number 17 in the charts

Thanks dear mate for another out of this world chart analysis!!! I wait for it weekend after weekend!!!

Haha, you're more than welcome! I'm glad that you enjoy them so much each week. :)

I'm definitely happy for him too, especially if he's going to continue to go down the Christian route! :D

Did I miss replying (or, at the very least, giving a like) to this post? Sorry! :P

I agree with your comments though, minus those for 'What You Know Bout Love' & especially '5am', haha.

Haha 5am is actually my favourite M Huncho song and WYKBL my joint favourite Pop Smoke song (however it charted highest in my chart)

My favourite Pop Smoke song is probably still 'Mood Swings'! I don't have a favourite M Huncho song, as I don't really like any of them, haha.

What is the metaphor in Diamonds? I really love that song though, that is one of his best songs he released!

"My diamonds leave with you", meaning that he doesn't care if this woman takes all of their money, as they're just happier that she's out of their life for good. :)

Oh I knew that..hahha I don't know why I thought it was deeper than that.

Hopefully it'll get a decent debut on the Hot 100 tomorrow too! :D

Pop Smoke favourite songs (get ready) -
Mood Swings, What You Know Bout Love, Dior, Something Special, Yea Yea (all 8.5 🤣)
I have to say Piran i feel like UK Rap has dissapointed u recently, what with D-block, B1llionz, Burning & m Huncho! Thank god for AJ Tracey!

AJ Tracey has been making up for it, along with Stormzy! ;)

I just feel that UK rappers like Dave & J Hus need to get back on the chart as soon as possible, haha.

KSI is doing mostly fine outside of 'Poppin', I guess!

I really like the songs, and tbh they do have talent, tho it might be the instrumental music and beats that pull me in. For example, I love Free 22 and We Won although it sounds like 2 druggees on autotune!

All of D-Block Europe's songs sound the same anyway! :P

Good news all around! T-Swizzle is back on top for a 7th week! :)

I saw the OCC article... it said she apparently surpassed a record set by Whitney Houston! :O

Yes, it's amazing! Two Billboard 200 Queens. ;p

I see your favourite managed to get a Top 3 debut on the Hot 100 tonight! ;)

what

Fake Friends is on ACR :( it deserved top 10!

Agreed, I doubt it will ever get there now though. :(

not unless it comes off, which is practically impossible. the only songs (i think) to ever come off is WHATS POPPIN and Watermelon Sugar.

Hey^^ Im enjoying a rainy week in Paris but Im glad mood is number one, its not my favourite but I think its a different but a catchy one.
I can say that there are a lot of bad news this week: first, PS1's fake friends going on acr...this rule doesnt exist in France but I think it doesnt show the "real" chart...anyway...Next, miley and clean bandit arent top tens, bieber at ten...grrr...
Finally, Ava is not the number one album...no...
But, im happy for sigala and james, hope they will climb next week^^
My new personal number one after tick tock is this tune by purple disco machine, they are so much played on french radios : https://youtu.be/UbYQErtM9Zk
Have a nice week^^

Hey, how are you? :)

It's very sunny in the UK right now, but unfortunately, it has become a lot colder!

I agree that ACR doesn't properly show what songs are really popular either, as it's biased towards newer releases! I'm also gutted that Ava Max wasn't #1 on the albums chart, but I certainly don't mind Pop Smoke getting there posthumously.

By the way, I was going to ask what French language songs you like? I follow a lot of foreign music a lot & from your country, I particularly like 'La Meme' by Maitre Gims ft Vianney & 'Djadja' by Aya Nakamura. Both are former #1's in France, I believe! :D

I'll check out that song you linked a little later, but I'm very happy to hear that 'Tick Tock' is out in front of your personal chart.

I hope you have a nice week too! ;)

Hey,
In France there are lots of stupid rap songs climbing the charts...easily made and forgettable... plus, some of them try to manipulate streaming figures...
Yes they were number ones^^
I dont really listen to aya because she has a disgusting personnality...and the lyrics...omg !
Therefore, Vianney is a really nice guy, he will be a new judge on the voice^^ I live near him and I met him a couple of times but not bold enough to talk to him🤣 check out his new single "beau papa", he explains his new life as a stepdad...other famous songs by him "pas là" and "je m'en vais", nice ones.
In french Im listening to "la femme", its a group, known for their single "sur la planche", they are releasing new stuff.
What kind of music do you like ?
Have a nice evening

I'll check out those Vianney songs throughout the week & let you know what I think of them! I honestly had no idea about Aya Nakamura's personality though & I only understand some of the lyrics.

I like a lot of music & I'll show at least some interest in all genres, but dance & pop stand out as my favourites, especially Taylor Swift!

I hope you have a nice evening too. :)

hi shadowcat222!! I have tried for a long time to chat to a French person..no luck so far..My God...the music nowadays in France is AWFUL!! Thanks God we still have MYLENE FARMER...whom i loveeeee....and of course the old Goldman and Lavoine...80's and 90's were great in France...

Hey! Yes it was better before^^ we can chat if you want to, no problem😉

this is awesome news! I shall celebrate by eating food tonight!
