Never listen to online trolls, most trolls are young kids who are uneducated and don't know what the real world is like yet, it's very rare for an online troll to be an adult, for example someone who is in their mid 20s.

If anyone is reading this, you are awesome 👍

Sorry about this guys, Frank created a fake account of me.

It’s obviously not the real one though, as there are completely different stats if you look my profile compared to his!

Hope you’re all having a nice Saturday. :)

What has happened over in the Scottish charts?

Just out of interest- what's the deal with Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie suddenly shooting to No.2 in sales-has it been used for some advert or performed on Strictly or something like that?

I only just noticed that it's Justin's cover of rockin around the Christmas tree that charted i would of preferred Brenda Lee's version but oh well the cover is OK at best

Everyone stop replying to frank, hes clearly not going to change so lets not give him the attention he wants

Frank, your promise didnt last 20 minutes. Go get a job you little shiit

Why is Wham!'s total weeks on chart missing its initial charts runs from 1984-1986?
Also, why is the Children in Need single no longer credited as 'BBC Radio 2 Allstars'?
And why isn't Baccara is re-entry?

Baccara? I mean, I'm not entirely unhappy about it but I'm clearly missing something. Is it from Strictly or on TikTock or something?

Wings by Nico Santos also deserves more recognition

I'm hoping for a new number one next week but have a feeling that Arisna will hang on again.

I want a push on Ava Max's Christmas release. It's nice to have the classics charting, but we should also support new tunes. And Christmas without you is excellent

Great news for the talented DERMOT KENNEDY, a third Top 20 under his belt!!

I really wanted the amazing Billie to claim the number 1 position this week!! She really deserved it..Next week, hopefully!!

Ignoring the idiots, what are your ratings for sunflower?

Guys, don’t argue! It’s what he wants. :/

In advance, I hope you all have a good weekend. :)

Finally, here are some throwbacks...

#1: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (1994)
#2: Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree (2013)
#3: Mr Probz - Waves [Robin Schulz Remix] (2014)
#4: Darude - Sandstorm (2000)
#5: Wham! - Last Christmas (1986)
#6: Oasis - Live Forever (1994)
#7: Wiley ft Ms D - Heatwave (2012)
#8: Westlife - What About Now (2009)
#9: Take That - Shine (2006)
#10: The Pogues ft Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York (1987)

Falling deserved so much better

Why is Little Mix's Confetti album going down the chart? It's such a gem! I missed this kind of pop for so long, how come the UK is sleeping on it? Pff...

I can’t even post full links here now, but here are my favourite songs of the week (just replace the * with an o). :)

http://crownnote.c*m/charts/piran-delves/pirans-top-50-40

I think Midnight Sky has reached it's peak sadly

Therefore I am is great but honestly I prefer my future

Therefore I Am is the second song to debut at #2 this year, the other one was Toosie Slide which obviously went on to become #1 later on

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (20/11/2020 - 26/11/2020)

🔴 (Negative)

1) ‘Positions’ is at #1 for a month & no, I am now disappointed about that! Yeah, both of Ari’s past two albums have unfortunately suffered from too much initial hype & that can consequently lead to a low replay factor. Not only did that happen with this song, but between the overexposure everywhere & the fact that an amazing closer is lower down but not getting the promotion it deserves, the title track just feels very uninspired & unoriginal at this point! It needs to go. Sorry to any fans!

2) I loved hearing ‘Really Love’ play on the chart show earlier, but it disappointed me that it was playing outside of the Top 10! I honestly thought it would stay in the region way longer than it actually did.

3) ‘Diamonds’ isn’t going to make the Top 10, is it? People really don’t see Sam Smith’s talent when it really shines through, do they?

4) Why Britain? Why are you letting an American drill act with limited charisma, entirely generic lyrics & worst of all, that entirely off-beat wailing in the background into the charts?! This is a sub-genre of rap that’s really upcoming & I’m trying to get more into it too, but this song is not what we want to be representing that sound.

5) Radio 1 always seem to have a thing where they generally put on some bangers or bops that sound amazing to end the week, then they’ll always completely break it abruptly with the odd terrible hit floating about! It was ‘Daisy’ for the past few weeks, but now they’ve taken an unhealthy obsession with ‘Put Your Records On’ & that ear-piercing mess of an “outro” where everything just falls apart even further. Why can’t this just tank already?!

🟠 (Mixed)

1) My prediction that it wouldn’t hold at the top was true, but it was easily one of the biggest sales debuts of the past few months for the Radio 2 charity single! I appreciate the cause, I also certainly appreciate the wide range of music styles & backgrounds that came together to make this possible, especially when they’re all covering an Oasis classic (even if I can’t hear KSI on this at all!), but is it just me, or does “Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ seem a bit more a demanding title than an endearing one? I get that it’s meant with good intentions, but it doesn’t carry the same emotional nor impactful weight that say ‘Times Like This’ or ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ did! Honestly, I don’t care if this drops fast on the charts, I care way more about the sales & proceeds that will go towards helping vulnerable children around the world, so at least this song managed to do that.

2) ‘Lemonade’ will be going on ACR next week! It’s kind of a shame, given how much the song has grown on me, but nobody can say it didn’t have a huge chart run.

3) ‘Golden’ moved up a few places! It wasn’t a highlight from Harry’s new album for me, but it’s a very radio-friendly hit & I could see it defying ACR than most other hits in this region of the chart.

4) On one hand, I’m gutted that ‘Blinding Lights’ will probably be gone next week! I wanted to make it a full year on the charts, as it was so close to getting there, but man, this being its 50th week inside the Top 40 is still beyond incredible.

5) AC/DC getting the fastest-selling album of 2020 so far with 62k combined sales chart is insane, although I can't really comment on it as I haven't listened to enough of it, haha.

🟢 (Positive)

1) Yeah, it might not be anything overly special in the same year that gave us ‘No Time To Die’, but Billie getting a new entry in the runner-up really impresses me! For as much as I hate to call ‘My Future’ a flop, it kind of was, so if Billie is starting possibly a new album cycle with only a few hundred sales away from it, then that’s awesome. As for this song, her brother Finneas’ production suits her deeper tones well, but I’m not too sure about some of the vocal mixing on the hook! This has enough grooviness for Billie to sound interesting to it, but it also loses the same emotional grasp that some of her career highlights have. I don’t know, this is still really good & it’s just the kind of thing the die-hards will love, but it didn’t blow me out of the park to be honest! Still really excited to hear what’s next though.

2) ‘Head & Heart’ didn’t move… I’ll take it if it means it’s going to stick around until next month!

3) Looks like ‘Train Wreck’ might go Top 10 soon if the festive hits don’t eclipse it soon. Honestly, at this point, it’s up there among James Arthur’s powerful ballads & it really should’ve been pushed as a single back in 2016 when it was first released! Oh well, better late than never, I guess.

4) ‘Get Out Of My Head’ got a huge sales boost to propel it into the Top 40! It’s not just huge download numbers which makes me think that this will go a lot higher, but it’s the kind of addictive summer jam that’ll honestly blow up on the radio at any time of year. The thumping piano keys, the swaggery vocal loops & the bouncy drop just make this a lot of fun!

5) Arguably the biggest positive point of them all… Mariah re-enters with her Christmas classic for the 14th consecutive year & two-thirds of the way through November,

6) ‘Holiday’ also coming back was a real surprise! I assume it came over ACR due to the album boost last week, but hey, it’s still a really groovy single & the fact that I wasn’t expecting to see it here again makes it all the more cool that it came back.

Thanks for reading everyone! Have a good weekend. :)
