Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 08/1/2021

It came out of nowhere

How is it doing so well? I mean the song is great and refreshing for a debut single but how

man i really hope so! its nearly a 10/10 for me.

i guess people love the song

Lets hope that stays right away

its out

https://disqus.com/by/disqus_XJbjZC0JLD/ what do u think

Hmm... I personally disagree on 'Afterglow', 'Whoopty' grew on me & 'Dance Monkey' isn't bad in my opinion, but it's very old now & I completely understand why many people are annoyed by it now! :P

Oh do you not like afterglow?

No, I do like it, haha. :)

They said that 'Afterglow' going up to #2 was overrated, but I don't agree that it is overrated, meaning that I'm happy that it's doing as well as it is!

your mum

They are a lot more talented than you

But I'm not a pop star.

There's no need to go down that road, sadly my Mum is no longer with us.
Nasty evil man.

OK lol

Good for U

It shouldn't have even become big there. :/

I think that’s a fair punishment for SOME people there actually.

Thank the radio for that

I disagree with radio airplay counting towards the charts anyway, but 'I Hope' being so dominant there certainly didn't help! :P

Thankfully, it still doesn't seem to be getting any UK plays outside of Radio 2, so let's just hope it stays that way, haha.

Nobody deserves a song as bad as 'I Hope' though! :P

He has small ears, not none. 🤨

they're too small so he's covering it

Just like he tries to cover up his stupid comments.

me when i hope plays on the radio? 🤣

That too haha

okay i take everything i said about this song back, it grew on me XD

Maybe. She did release a deluxe version yesterday so maybe that'll help its streams

It's true, thanks. 😀

I wasnt expecting roses that low :O Im glad say so is high though

DISCLAIMER: To clarify, I had to rate the original version of 'Roses', since OCC unfortunately didn't credit the Imanbek remix (which is actually a banger!). :P

See my disclaimer! :P

Oh lord, that reminds me that I need to do mine.

Anyway as for your list, it’s pretty good, although I highly disagree about WAP, HIGHEST IN THE ROOM, Roses (yes, I read your comment) and Head & Heart.

Yummy should be -10/10

That's being generous... it should be -100/10! :P

That's really unfortunate, because there is an obvious quality gap between the two...

Future remix > the original > Imanbek remix

That's even more generous
-(Infinite-5/)100!

TOTAL SCORE: 7,427/10,000 (74.27%)

Yeah, the remix would've probably scored like seven points higher! :(

I'm looking forward to seeing yours! :D

I'm glad that you liked my list outside of where I put those four songs, haha.

Good list Gameskiller! :D

I'll leave a longer comment on the EOY Singles Chart page in a few days from now, haha.

Either way, I don't think many people disagree with me putting it at #100! :P

It's the other way round for me personally! :P

Yummy >>>>> Baby Shark don't @ me 🤭

Come to think of it, I might actually do one of these, as I have more time on my hands than I thought! Anyway, I totally agree with pretty much all of this. I did like Go Crazy and Death Bed, so they would be higher up for me, and No Time To Die is number 1 all day long in my books. Don't Start Now would be a light 7/10 (probably because it's overplayed, not song quality), and Someone You Loved would be higher. But apart from that, a great review!

nice reorderings but i think you made a mistake with i dunno at 76, it’s tion wayne rapping it, not headie one. 😂

where would you be placing roses if occ counted the imanbek remix? i put it at number 10 in my best hit songs of 2020 list based on the remix, which was the popular one. :)

EDIT: just noticed the mistake i pointed out has been fixed. thanks 👍

Yeah, with me reordering an entire Top 100 which took a couple of hours, I'm honestly surprised that there weren't anymore mistakes! :P

I'd probably the rate the remix a solid 8/10, which would put it at around #15 in this reordering.

Thanks for the comment!

Let me know when you do have enough time to do this! It might be time-consuming, but i's honestly a lot of fun & something to keep you entertained during lockdown, haha. :)

I'm going to upvote this reply, even though I strongly disagree with it! :P

That’s a very good review. I’m disappointed WAMGD by jonas bros is so low, and some pop smoke is so high but overall I kind of agree

I just posted it on the EOY chart (you will have to scroll down a lot, but it's there!)

Pop Smoke's lyrics might be kind of generic, but his flow & the production he uses are both better than what most of his peers are doing right now!

As for The Jonas Brothers, 'What A Man Gotta Do' just seems really cringey & basic at times, plus the overplay really didn't do it any justice either.

Thanks for the reply! :D

I'll try to check it out tonight! ;)

What is EOY?

End Of Year! ;)

I'll probably head off to the EOY page to see it, because it makes more sense on there :)

No worries! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. :)

🎶🎶EVERYTHING IS CHAAAANGIIIING....🎶

And yes, even better in March 1995 when Mariah Carey's festive classic went back up the charts to number 59 after falling out of the 100 in Feb, 95....result....record shops including the legendary but not forgotten Woolworths reducing the single to 10p each and that's what caused that, even in more recent years up to 2007, singles being reduced after Christmas has still counted as sales for the charts and thus have often hanged around alot longer than in the current climate.

Very different times for the charts indeed.

Also, i'm still not over the shock of Woolworths closing LOL!

yep

Yep - the original record was Three Lions going from 1-97, but it's been bettered now

Damm, really wish that song never lost that record.

I know I’m biased, but still.

I like Ed, but he has WAY too much success.

Hater😂😂

No, I like his songs, but his success levels are too much.

31 is good. come on

Lucid has to be big soon right? I mean it’s so good, even though it’s her worst song, but that’s more of a compliment to her discography as opposed to an insult of the song.

Agree on the other two songs you hate, especially The Business. It’s just so generic and annoying.

I agree, even though it’s not one of her best songs.

That chorus is really annoying, but the rest makes up for it.

Yeah, the hook sells it for me, haha. :)

"AH. AHHHHH. MMMM...AAH...AHHHHH"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Megan Thee Stallion is hilarious, but in a good way! :P

yeah, it’s a banger.

I'm honestly loving it more with every listen, haha. :)

TikTok! :P

A guy drinking cranberry juice on tiktok

Ugh of course

I like the most of the songs to get big off of TikTok, but not the app itself! :P

😍

And it’s the even worse Charlie Puth version. :(

Thought you liked Country?

I do... just not this song. :/

I didn't even bother checking out the remix! The original was awful enough. :/

LOL. Fair enough

😭

It was actually my second worst song of 2020 behind 'Yummy'! :P

😂😂😂

It sounds decent to me haha

Even if it did sound decent (which I personally think it doesn't), then it still doesn't get a pass from me because the lyrics are just toxic as . :/

Are they toxic? I didn't really analyze it oops :P

I'm hoping the Radio 2 payola will wear off for it soon! :P

It's basically promoting retaliation! :(

Wait really? Oh that's not good :/

Okay, my explanation as to why the content is so awful went pending (probably didn't blank out the expletives enough), but yeah, I have no sympathy for Gabby Barrett whatsoever with what she wishes on her ex. :/

She had another song chart in America which is just as bad

'The Good Ones'? See, I actually don't mind that one, haha. :)

I really thought it wasn't going to have an impact here! I hate that song so much, so there's just a genuine feeling of disappointment seeing 'I Hope' debut in the UK charts this week. :/

I guess we've just matched 2019's record of only one song falling in the entire top 100 (LadBaby somehow getting a third week in the top 100)

WHAT?! 'ARCADE' AT 90!!!!!! :D

Really wish it did better

1: Probably a good thing, but I’d rather have Fine Line or unrealistically Whole Lotta Red.

2: Not a good thing, really boring song in my opinion.

3: Alright in my opinion, those songs aren’t my favourite, but it’s good to see the genre continue doing well on the charts.

4: Not a good thing, probably the worst song I’ve heard this year so far.

5: Alright, I love and hate that song at the same time.

6: Awful thing, why does The Kid LAROI even have a career?

Okay, so we seem mixed! That's a shame about the last point though, since I really want The Kid Laroi's career to keep taking off like this.

Oh well, I respect your opinion either way! :D

I think the kid laroi deserves a career

regarding number 5, i demand justice for travis scott’s masterpiece. 😭

I honestly thought the original was meh & this was exactly the kind of remix that it needed! :P

10. Paradise – Dermot Kennedy & MEDUZA (10/10)

1) sweet melody (8/10)
2) afterglow (3/10)
3) whoopty (8/10)
4) anyone (3/10)

10) paradise (8/10)
best song: get out my head
worst song: 34+35

63%.

Absolutely agree

this got 17 upvotes 🤣

18 now! :P

Just from posting "Re" five times, haha.

A far cry from the era when every other week it would be something by Spice Girls, All Saints, B*Witched, Honeyz etc... LOL!

Hi Piran! Congrats to the new No. 1. Here for 🥊 The Prince Of Pop 🥊 scoring another Top 5 this week with "Anyone". Love the song. Also Lady Gaga and Ariana re entry 😍. Did you see Taylor and Justin were the number two and number four best selling artists in the entire 2010's decade by Nielsen data? Adele was No. 1 but the entire Top 10 is extremely impressive. 🥊

Hey Marco! :)

Yeah, this chart was crazy in terms of how busy it was, but I feel that the #1 was well deserved.

Regarding 'Anyone', it's only okay for now, but I could see it growing on me & it's way better than how JB started off 2020 for sure!

I didn't look at Neilsen's list, but I'm absolutely not surprise to hear that Adele was #1 & Taylor was #2, haha.

And congrats to Taylor with the No. 1 album this week in the UK and USA I think it will be.

Interestingly enough, both of Taylor's 2020 surprise albums have been her only ones to spend multiple weeks at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, so maybe this indie-folk pivot that she's making is working for her over here? ;)

Evening Piran! 😊

I'm happy with 'Sweet Melody' taking the top spot, it's a deserving #1 for sure but tbh i'm kinda over the song personally, I like it but I haven't listened to it much recently. My favourite songs on the chart at the moment are 'Prisoner' which I was really hoping was going to break into the Top 10 this week and 'Holiday' by Lil Nas X which I only heard for the first time this week but i'd like to see that continue to rise up the charts too.

Also kinda nice to see some Arctic Monkeys songs back in the charts, even if it is only at the very bottom. I wonder what the story is there?

Hey Jack! :)

I think 'Prisoner' could have a shot at returning to the Top 10 next week though & I actually wouldn't mind Little Mix staying at #1 for a bit either, even though it could be at risk of ACR very soon!

I'm not too sure why Arctic Monkeys re-entered, but then again, we have the winning song from Eurovision 2019 also back in this week, so I'm just as confused on some of the re-entries as you are, haha.

I guess it could just be do to with the age old story of the post-Christmas lull in sales producing weird results, if only indirectly. If sales are at a rock bottom, it allows random old songs that happened to have been streamed a lot to re-enter in the lower half of the Top 100. Ironically, January can sometimes be a far easier time to get a 'campaign song' on the charts than Christmas Day.

Yeah, this is definitely the most unpredictable week of the year, since you can't really tell what people have been listening to outside of the Christmas songs in December, haha. :)
