Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 19/2/2021

You don't say.

can’t take the silence, i’d rather be alone.

I think it's pretty plain and simple
We gave it all we could

It's time I wave goodbye from the window
Let's end this like we should and say we're good

we’re not meant to be like sleeping and c*caine

So let's at least agree to go our separate ways! 🔥

love that idea. :D

Depends who’s it is, or if the songs already leaked.

more lyrics

Not the time...

wdym lol

If you mean it's innappropriate given the situation with the impersonators, we shouldn't let them stop us from enjoying this place

If you mean there's never a time for AJR songs then fair enough

That’s what I mean, but true.

That’s also true for me. :)

madonna btw 😁♥

ikr whats he done to you? 🙄

grandmadonna ;)

ikr lol

From bottom to top:

1: HAIM - Gasoline (9/10)
2: Ariana Grande - test drive (9/10)
3: ElyOtto - Sugar Crash (9/10) (yes I know I said I hated yesterday)
4: Morissey - Cosmic Dancer (8/10)
5: Ariana Grande - Worst Behaviour (8/10)
6: Digga D - Toxic (6/10)
7: JLS - Time (6/10)
8: Tom Grennan - Let’s Go Home Together (6/10)
9: Abra Cadabra - Mixed Emotions (5/10)
10: Paul Woolford & Amber Mark - Heat (5/10)
11: Tom Zanetti - Didn’t Know (4/10)
12: Megan Mckenna - This (3/10)
13: Clinton Kane - Chicken Nuggies (0/10)
14: NF - Clouds (0/10) (might grow on me because of the production, but I can’t get over the terrible lyrics or generic flow yet).

Let me guess, that new person ended up being Frank, like I said in the beginning. 🙄

Glad someone managed to find out though. :)

Bye! :)

Take care! :D

i’m gonna sign off too, bye! :))

See you later! :D

See you soon!

Take care! :D

Nice seeing you here again.

Bye! :)

See you on Monday.

snowchild and rules 😍😍

All of these are so good. 😍😍😍

Apart from Go, but we can ignore that. :)

LOL good for you but I like 'Up'

Yeah its grown on me a bit since 1st listen so I thought it would do better

im so annoyed about that! i thought it was going to be top 10 this week too

At least she has another Top 40 under her belt this week..glad to see the awful Cardi B dropping this week though!

yeah, that and good days really deserve a top 10 placing. :I

hi coolocelot101! how are you today?

i’m quite chilled today! ready for the weekend? :)

i am indeed! love Friday night..don't have to wake up at 5am the day after!

Hey Thierry! :)

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for recommending 'Monument' to me! It's now in my Top 5 most streamed tracks of the week, haha.

How are you today?

OMG i am so glad you like their new single...and do hope they will get to sing it at the Eurovision this year if they got qualified!! You should check OKTA, their very underrated first album: love it..10 great pop songs!

I think it'll win MGP at the very least & given Norway's track record at Eurovision, maybe we'll see 'Monument' get a Top 10 finish in May! ;)

I'm really excited to hear that! I've loved both tracks that I've heard from them so far, so a full album from them sounds promising (especially if there's more "joiking", haha).

I've just listened to Monument as well. Great song 🎵

Hey Thierry, Rita's new single and video is amazing!!!! She deserves to chart better!!

Sad that Keiino won't be going to Eurovision, Monument is a banger

I see Emotion, I upvote

Such a good album! :D

100% agreed! :D

Run Away With Me is the best pop song ever made.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is both amazing & underrated! :D

The B-Side of it was my obsession at one point! ;)

I still need to listen to that one! :O

I liked it even more than the original version of the album! ;)

yesss don toliver! 😃

I think 'That Kind of Woman' would be a great single after 'We're Good'. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

They're all great enough to be singles! Well, except 'Not My Problem' :X

Nice analysis.

Good review. :)

Not my favourite tbh, quarantine has made me forget how to write I think I could do better 😅

I enjoyed it though 😀.

very nice review fam 👌

Good review!!

I still like it! It's a shame that it's not really getting anywhere in the charts. :/

i’m definitely not tired of it, it’s a great song and it doesn’t deserve to tank just like that. :I

I like it but the original is just far superior, Raye sings really well but the original has such an edge that can't be recreated

I think we've already passed the number of comments that we got here last week! :O

That is really cool, have the comments been lower here recently or above 200 or so?

I still remember sometime last year when you guys finally reached 1,000 comments and actually did it for a few weeks.

There have been around 200 comments each week, but it has gone up to 300 or even 400 in the past few weeks (although, sadly, most of them were from trolls). :/

Oh yeah, hitting 1,000 comments for the first time here was an incredible milestone for our community!

I remember Headline Planet and over here were really doing fantastic for a short period when we were averaging over a 1,000 on both sites.

Yeah, I think that was last summer actually!

I hope that both places will return to seeing those kind of numbers one day again soon. :)

Well I don't think so anytime soon since I know a lot of you go on discord after. But I think around 500 or more would be fantastic.

Yeah, but we're still getting a lot of commenters here each week that aren't from Discord, so that's certainly helping to bring the total number of comments back up here. :)

It looks like we will have over 300 at least today which is nice, how has Headline Planet been?

It's been good thanks, although less active than OCC! We've all been missing you over there. :)

Ok, well I will try to be on for a little if I can on Monday. The problem is that since over a month ago. I have been starting 1hr earlier at work. I get off a hour earlier which is nice, but then my lunch is earlier now and I don't have much time to comment when the article comes.

Ah, fair enough.

It posted really late this week anyway! :P

I'm actually not working at all at the moment, since schools are closed over here for at least another couple of weeks, haha.

Piran, have you listened to a Country band called Restless Road? They have a new song out, and a good duet with Kane Brown

I haven't yet, but I like Kane Brown, so I'm looking forward to hearing that one. :)

Carried by Gunna to be honest, but yeah it should be here. :(

That song is amazinggggg

They should, it’s such a bad song.

I think all links in general are disabled here now. :/

They are.

same, i would’ve linked around the world by daft punk as a throwback alert if i could. :/

I don't get why! It's not like anybody was spamming particular links here. :/

They are for whatever reason. :(

I really want to shamelessly promote music I like to the fourm. :|

I think that would really boost the number of comments that we got here every week (even if they're fairly high now), but I have to use a "broken" link to my Crown Note from now on. :/

That's unfortunate, you can still post links on Headline Planet though?

It would, but I guess they’re scared of spammers.

I guess we could just list songs/albums in text form if we wanted to.

In fact, why not, I’ll do that now.

yeah we can. :)

Ok cool.

It's funny how they're top priority is stopping spammers. yet that has hardly happened at all in the past few weeks, but so many other awful things have. :/

Yeah, that's a good idea actually!

I sometimes used to do that myself, especially when I did full chart reviews, haha.

ikr, crownnote and youtube (most of the time) are harmless.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it'd just be recommending some songs. :)

I don't get the hate for NF. :/

His lyrics are PAINFULLY corny to me, and he doesn’t have good production.

He was the one who made the song Let you Down? If he is then I did enjoy the song.

Yeah, him.

That song is one of the better ones he’s made, but that’s not hard in my opinion.

I love his flow though & some of his songs are deep!

Also, this might be a very unpopular opinion (& I know that Ethan will be pleased to hear this), but 'Way Less Sad' actually wasn't all that bad, haha. :)

Eh, flow doesn’t matter to me without good lyrics, and a song’s subject matter doesn’t change it’s quality to me, but I guess I can see the appeal.

As for Way Less Sad, it’s my least favourite song from the new album yet, and that’s saying a lot. :|

I just relate to a lot of NF's content personally. :)

'Way Less Sad' might be the best AJR song I've heard so far, even if it's only a light 5/10 for me so far!

Well I haven't listened to any of his music really so I can't pass any judgment.

eh, he’s better than those corny youtube rappers out there. (excluding ksi)

same here, he’s great.

I really wish he got more hits after 'Let You Down' actually. :)

I guess, although I kind of associate him with that group.

At least he’s not as bad as Crypt or Dax. :)

time, the search and when i grow up should’ve been hits.

'Time' is so underrated! :O

Time would be alright, only song I like of his.

not just that, but his entire the search album is underrated too.

i don’t necessarily stream it on a daily tho, since it’s a very heavy album, but it’s still good. :)

Didn't he have another album called 'Perception' too? :)

I remember that went to #1 in America, but I don't think it charted at all in the UK!

I was just about to comment that lol. We are on fire today.

here’s to 200 in the next 15 mins! XD

Yeah, I haven't comments come in on here this fast in a while! :P

We can do it 👍.

Each one of his 3 songs so far have been brilliant, so hopefully the 4th will be just as good

yeah, i like the revival for edm, even if there’s better dance songs out there. i predict eight weeks for drivers license, then it could fall.

oh you’re mexican? niceeee 🇲🇽

I really love how we're commenters from so many countries here despite all the drama recently. :)

It’s weird to see EDM this high, but honestly I’m not a fan, half of it sounds the same to me. :)

Agree on Driver’s License though, I definitely thought Calling My Phone was going to be there this week too. :(

Saludos desde Argentina

Popularity for her is waning I think

She’s way less popular now, plus her new song wasn’t great.

No idea what happened to Rag N Bone Man though, I wonder what would’ve happened if he never took a break.

So true, Human and Skin were absolute bangers and he deserved more

we’re good is a nice song but if it ain’t me and that kind of woman are better. :)

surprised they didn’t go top 40, they’re so good. at least levitating is still here tho 😍

I doubt we’ll get another single from this era, but If It Ain’t Me would be a good one.

Although Hallucinate would be better.

Wasn't 'Hallucinate' already a single? :P

It was, I just didn’t remember because it didn’t do well. :)

If It Ain’t Me is probably the best next single then, even though Not My Problem >.

You know my thoughts on 'Not My Problem' already! :P

Yeah, they’re not my problem though. :)

(kill me)

Oh, wait until you see my reply about NF & AJR! :P

Definitely the second biggest disappointment this week for me, besides the Number 1.

Glad she gets all the money from the new streams, even if I won’t be listening to them because of OCD. :)

i’m quite disappointed it’s not in the top 10 actually, it’s the best of taylor’s country songs and it’s even better than the original.

Well it's a re recording of a older song so it isn't to bad. Still excited to see how the full album will sound these many years later with newer songs.

I actually prefer the original, but still, the new version deserved at least a Top 10 debut. :/

Yeah, the fact that it's even back in the Top 40 at all is amazing to see! :D

I hope you're doing okay this week.

I'm doing alright thanks. I was going to come on 2 Mondays ago but I received some bad news that day and didn't come on. But I decided to stop by today to see how everyone is doing on the U.K charts.

I'm sorry to hear about your bad news, but I'm glad that you could join us here today. :)

Thanks, it is always nice to see you all. I know you will be looking forward to April 9th though. 3 albums within a year is pretty special.

Yeah, it really shows hard Taylor has been working throughout lockdown! :D

Hey Coolocelot101, how are you this Friday?

hi jstar!

i’m actually feeling quite chilled today. you?

Glad to hear, I am doing alright. Happy to stop by to see everyone.

I thought it would do far better but can be consolidated by the amount of EDM tracks in the top 10! Loving it.
I'm really hopeful that Tom Grennan can finally nail a top 40 next week, he is well on the climb with 'little bit of love' but also dropped a track with Ella Henderson today which I'm loving already 'lets go home together' hope 1 of them can make it.

Hey Rob! :)

Looking at how much he climbed this week, 'Little Bit Of Love' has a huge chance at going Top 40 next week.

I think a lot of radio stations are behind it too, especially Radio 1!

Hey Piran, I really hope so. He has been close before but this seems to be biggest chance. Don't know if you've heard much of his music but he has an amazing voice and a great style of songwriting. He also dueted with Bugszy Malone well before he has become so famous recently and featured on a chase and status track

I'm surprised that Tom Grennan has never had a Top 40 single before! I'll have to check out more of his music if he does get there next week. Which other tracks of his would you recommend? :)

I loved 'Found What I've Been Looking For'!

Yeah, so many fans like me wanted old Taylor to make a return & that's happened, so I think this is still a very positive week for Swifties (especially with 'Gasoline' being released today!). :D

'Found what I've been looking for' is my fave but I also love 'royal highness' 'something in the water' 'memory lane' which is a feature on bugzy Malone's track his whole first album is great though if you get the chance have a listen you won't regret it. Also the new Ella Henderson track with him I haven't stopped listening to today, it's acoustic and a bit cheeky just about being a little drunk and going home with another drunk, sweet track.

He's collaborated with Ella Henderson?! :O

That sounds amazing before I've even heard it, haha.

Only released been released today! That's why I'm hoping double shot at top 40 single next week!

Oh forgot to mention the track 'I might' by Tom Grennan, it was the track that got me into him in the 1st place, really well thought out track, with a great melody and builds up so great it's a bit of pop perfection

I think 'Little Bit Of Love' is looking more likely to get there, since it's already got momentum behind it. :)

It sounds like he might put a new album soon then. :)

Next few weeks, I've already preordered! Lol

I really hope so, I thought the boost last week was just due to his live stream show but for it to gain this week too I'm really buzzing and hoping it will be his 1st top 40! Although I'd take no.41 if the Ella Henderson collab made it!

If he times it right, it could even go to #1! :D

Both he'll do what MGK did & have two songs enter the Top 40 in the same week, when I was worried that he'd get none! :P

;) for sure he got top 3 last time, he certainly hasn't lost any fans only gained so is a great chance depending on who else releases that week!

Yeah, in terms of radio support & single sales, he's only getting bigger! ;)

Both Frank and whatever his name is have seem to have gone, so maybe we will.

Never mind.

Umm... look at the top :(

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted

not again 🙄

I do enjoy Ava's song.

I enjoy most of her music! I'm happy that it debuted on the Hot 100 this week. :)

hellooo

hi! :)

It’s really been a year already. :(

i was about to post that. rip pop smoke 💔

He really had so much potential. :/

Yeah, it's gone by so fast! :O

what’s depressing is that he had to die for a number 1 album. :(

At least his album is still doing so well right now, RIP

He definitely would’ve got there eventually, sad he never got the chance though. :(

He should've got that #1 anyway. :/

Yeah, although I wish people gave him success whilst he was alive. :/

#1 of the year so far according to chart impact points (see my comment on the Album chart)

Thanks for the well wishes Piran.

You're more than welcome. :)

my week’s been way better than last week. :)))

Same here! I'm glad it's been an improvement for you too. :)
