Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 25/12/2020

Some interesting songs in the whole list lol

Its a bank holiday so it will be out today

ok thanks :)

They're probably not allowed to be political

I think I know why

What is the name of this band?

King King feat. Alan Nimmo

Merry Christmas to you too. :)

it’s hard to believe wap was cardi b’s first number 1 and blinding lights was the weeknd’s first when they’ve both been around for a while and have each had massive hits. :o

I could definitely see a #1 for The Weeknd coming at some point, not sure if I could see Cardi B getting one lol

"I could definitely see a #1 for The Weeknd coming at some point..."

I feel it coming! ;)

Look what you've done

Now we just wait for "Save your Tears" to be the weeknd's next big hit in 2021

gosh, i really hope so, it’s so underrated and has grown on me a lot.

I'm a motherf**king starboy! :P

That's what the top of my Christmas tree said

Haha, my cat kept trying to hit all the baubles on mine! :P

The baubles at the bottom of my tree kept falling off and we didn't know why but then we realised it was our dog because his bed was next to the tree and he kept wagging his tail lol

My family in NZ have two cats that kept climbing their Christmas tree when they were just kittens! :P

It would've been #5 this week without Christmas songs, after only like three days of tracking too! :O

Probably absolutely none! :P

If it got any it would be hilarious

Oddly, it's not their first hit. They've a few similarly themed/titled singles (top 75, below top 40).

IKR!!

Welcome to the Christmas charts! :D

I agree with most, but No Time To Die is definitely a 10/10 along with Blinding Lighes, and Lemonade wasn't that great at all, but apart from that, decent reviews

For me:

Stormzy featuring Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy - Own It (10/10)
Eminem featuring Juice Wrld - Godzilla (10/10)
Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (8/10)
The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (10/10)
Billie Eilish - No Time To Die (9/10)
Saint Jhn - Roses Remix (10/10)
Drake - Toosie Slide (5/10)
DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch - Rockstar (8/10)
Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande - Rain on Me (6/10)
Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo - Savage Love (1/10)
Joel Corry featuring MNEK - Head & Heart (8/10)
Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion - WAP (2/10)
24kGoldn featuring Iann Dior - Mood (8/10)
Internet Money and Gunna featuring Don Toliver and Nav (7/10)
Ariana Grande - Positions (9/10)
Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You (6/10)

To be fair I haven't heard No Time To Die in ages, given how much I liked her new song I'm sure my score would be higher if I listened again!

Good List! Although it's safe to say you didn't like WAP as much as I did!

Thanks, and yeah lmao I didn't like 'WAP' at all lol.

and don’t stop me eating (3/10)

Personally, shift Dua to number 1, plus shift The 1975 up and get Ellie Goulding's album Brightest Blue into the top 3 at least, then I'm happy :)

I've seen these before but again, I absolutely love that 'Future Nostalgia', 'Golden Hour', 'Heaven & ' and 'SAWAYAMA' all make the Top 10! I'm going to reveal mine on the 27th I think! :D

I'm glad you love at least half of my list! I look forward to seeing yours on Sunday. :)

Dua was so close to being #1 for me, but I just didn't like the last two tracks on 'Future Nostalgia' unfortunately.

I'll give her this though... the singles choices that she made this year were absolutely incredible! :D

uhhhh... ava max 🤮

1) fantastic
2) ok (it grew on me a bit)
3) amazing
4) good
5) very good
6) meh (didn’t age well)
7) very bad (sorry i just hate ava max)
8) good
9) ok (underrated tho)
10) good (on first listen, could grow)

1: 10/10
2: 10/10
3: 10/10
4: 0/10
5: 7/10
6: 9/10
7: 0/10
8: 6/10
9: 6/10
10: 11/10 (Top 3 on my list, still trying to decide my favourite of them all)

I think I’ll post my list either tomorrow or the New Year’s chart.

Very polarising scores here! :P

I'm glad that you gave all of the albums in my Top 3 a perfect score, but it to see absolutely nothing for 'Tickets To My Fall' & 'Heaven & '. :/

I feel like 'Sawayama' will continue to grow on me in 2021! :D

I'm glad you think most of this list is good, but it's a shame that 'Chromatica' cooled off on so fast.

I knew that you weren't going to like 'Heaven & ' whatsoever though! :P

:(

No Kylie DISCO?

Rina's album is great

Haha...I like Ava but the whole album was a complete filler, so cheap production. Imo

Hey Dami! :)

You've heard 'Sawayama' too? That's awesome! What are your favourite tracks from it?

Hmm... it was certainly a very good album, but this year had such tough competition from me! :P

Even 'After Hours' somehow didn't make the list, haha.

I'd, sadly, put the two Derulo songs higher in the list, but I agree with number 1 totally.

It's a real shame, because Jason Derulo used to be way better & I hope he returns to his signature 2010's hits, rather than anything he attempted this year.

I just want to pretend that 'Yummy' never happened going forward! :P

Yummy topped everyone's list you can't not hate it it's hilarious how bad it performed

I said that I didn't like JB, but Yummy is actually shocking.
It's also slightly sad to see Anne-Marie in that list because I agree with you on that as well. She usually makes pretty good music as well

The thing is, JB's EDM-inspired 'Purpose' was actually a very good album throughout with singles that were deserving of their hit status! I feel that the production that he was using around that time really suited his vocals, so it's really disappointing to see his musical quality drop off this hard. :/

Mind you, 'I Hope' was close! Thank goodness that never took off outside the US. :/

As for 'Yummy', it's not even bad in an hilarious way either, but more just a shocking embarrassment!

10) bullshoot (i wouldn’t give it a 0/10 anymore tho haha)
9) awful (tory lanez is a jacka**)
8) meh
7) fire
6) omg just kill me now
5) v good (sorry i just find it a lot of fun)
4) banger (the production is hard)
3) bad
2) awful
1) more bullshoot

4 is amazing and 3 is alright, but lord the rest .

Even 'Birthday', the "best" song on this list, would probably get no higher than a strong 2/10 from me! :P

7 is a banger too 🔥

So it looks like you agree with seven songs that I put here! :P

We seem to have very differing opinions on 'Loading', 'Poppin' & especially 'Daisy' though, haha.

Agree on most of them

Oh yeah, didn’t notice it.

I'm glad you agree with most of this list! I'm curious to know what you'd choose for this list? :)

roses should be 2 places higher

It's obviously subject to last-minute change though (remember 2018 when One Kiss knocked Drake off his perch...)

The number 10 is quite surprising though

I really don't understand how it got there. It didn't even last that long in the top 20 (unlike Adore You)

Same... I'm also surprised that 'The Box' isn't here, as well as Lewis Capaldi getting two songs in the Top 10 despite not really releasing anything this year! :O

His album was highly successful

Yeah, plus, 'Someone You Loved' somehow returned to the Top 10 of the singles chart at the start of the year, even though it was still on ACR most of the time back then! :P

True, it could all change in the final week, but there's absolutely no way that 'Dance Monkey' is catching up with 'Blinding Lights' now! :P

Hmm... I'd say that 'Head & Heart' should be six places higher! ;)

I know, Blinding Lights being number one was nailed in, but I was mainly talking about positions lower in the table, like where Watermelon Sugar is right now, for example

Oh sure, 'Watermelon Sugar' could easily be knocked out of the Top 10, plus 'Head & Heart' might be able to swap places with 'Rockstar'. :)

so sad the box couldn’t make it into the top 10 😭😭😭

I'm not "sad" about it, but I'm certainly very shocked that it isn't here! :O

Blinding lights ruled. but this is a darn good list

Ed took a break for the entirety of 2016 and also pretty much the entirety of 2020 lol. He even said when releasing 'Afterglow' that he's not off break yet, he just wanted to put out a song for his fans.

I didn't listen to it on the chart show today. What's it like?

It's fairly simple really; it's just Ed's vocals & an acoustic guitar, but the melody on the hook is very soothing! I don't think it would do anything big as a single by any means, but for a one-off song for his fans, I definitely appreciate it. :)

Yeah, if you think about it, he only put out an album last year, so I don't expect anything big from him in 2021 either.

The artists I really want to see return next year are: Adele, Rihanna & Kendrick Lamar! :D

Fair enough, I can see why you like it, and why I might like it too. But on your last sentence, you really never know - it's Ed Sheeran for crying out loud, so a song of his is naturally going top 20 at least, even if it is a surprise

Rihanna kind of returned this year, but I can see what you mean, and I totally agree!

Only featuring on one song, as far as I'm aware, but I'm waiting for a full album from her (it's been nearly five years now!). :P

I agree that anything Ed releases will become a hit at this point in his career, no matter how good or bad it is! :P

kendrick!!! 😍😍😍

I'm so excited for his comeback! :D

Merry Christmas!

I don't think love is a compass or forever young will be in the top 100 next week because they are from christmas ads

I guess it's difficult to tell with those ones, as how do we know that they might not have become hits anyway? This is where, like with 'Stay Another Day', the debate of whether or not something is a Christmas song or not comes in! :P

Of course, Ari rules 'em all

I think 'Positions' is going on ACR next week though, so out of the possible contenders, I hope that either Little Mix or Ed Sheeran will be #1 on New Year's Day. :)

It could get a reset the following week though

Possibly, but at least it means we'll almost certainly get a brand new #1 next week, which should make the New Year's chart a bit more exciting than this one. :)

So piran what’s you’re thoughts on Ed Sheerans new track?

'Afterglow'? I really like it actually! :D

What do you think of it?

Levitating is on ACR. Ed is dropping a lot these few days so maybe not number one methinks. Whoopty would be #1 if positions and Sweet Melody goes on ACR (which they are at risk of next week) Everything else I agree :)

Positions probably will, Sweet Melody maybe not because of the Jesy Nelson news. To be honest, I want it to chart highly (Sweet Melody that is)

So far so good. Merry Christmas piran

Thank you, David! :D

Merry Christmas https://disqus.com/by/disqus_XJbjZC0JLD/ !

Merry Christmas to you too! :D

Have a wonderful Xmas time Piran !!! pS. I can't wait for the next Singles Chart in which I expect the whole Top 10 singles' set may be replaced ...

Merry Xmas dear Piran!!!

Thank you! I hope your Christmas Day was good too. :)

Thank you! I hope you had a good Christmas Day too. :)

Oh yeah, every song in this week's Top 10 will probably drop out next week!
