Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 04/6/2021

cuz it's summery. It's true

Literally same. 🙄

It already did to be honest but we’ll ignore that. 😀

yano what also got old for me? friday. 🙄

i never liked the wellerman remix to begin with though. 🤭

Marea outsold both. 🥱

Agree to disagree

Fair enough, at least we can agree the original is awful though. :)

Something really weird going on with it's play count though - it had 100,000 when I looked this morning, only got 30,000 now - it's got 280,000 youtube views, so I'd imagine it's playcount should be way closer to 100k on spotify than 30k.

Yeah we all know the figures are BS, but I think the placement is correct. If you look at the 11th Jan, globally it says drivers license only got 11M streams when it actually got 15M, and then it says 13M for the next day when it actually got 17M

Your 70 playcounts making up less than a quarter of a sale are hardly going to make an overall difference to the charts mate. If your that bothered buy it.

Since only 10 streams of each will count to the chart, do both. :)

that’s a hard choice as i love both songs, especially watermelon sugar which has aged fantastically well.

perhaps go for both? you can stream on multiple devices. i did it once. :)

definitely seems likely, especially with body going on acr next week. :)

AVERAGE: 5.1/10
MY REAL SCORE: 5/10

I think this really shows what I want from her next albums. 😭

welp, not rapstar and addicted on 2nd decline, also olivia’s songs are too good for acr. 😭

RAPSTAR has grown on me but I’m still not a massive fan, and I can’t stand Jorja, idk why

Oh well, they were boring anyway.

Lol, that's what she gets. Sorry not sorry.

dang, i love jorja. she’s one of my favourite r&b artists.

Nice to see Body going on ACR, although I have to commend it for being the first foreign language No 1 since Despacito in 2017.

1 WEEK:

deja vu (4/10)
driver’s license (0/10)

2 WEEK:

Slumber Party (9/10)
Titanium (8/10)
Addicted (8/10)
Beautiful Mistakes (-1/10) (i haven’t been happier of a song flopping in so long)
RAPSTAR (7/10)
Anywhere Away From Here (0/10)

3 WEEK:

Wants and Needs (7/10)
Body (9/10)

RESET:

Watermelon Sugar (7/10)
Believe Me (-1/10) (who did this to us :|)

And so is Navos ‘Believe Me’

rip.

:(

Also I keep thinking Fiona is an artist every time you mention it. 😭

I rate all Olivia Rodrigo's songs (-1000/10)
They are total garbage and I don't think she deserves the hype and success so jokes on you fans. Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish are much better than her.

good 4 u. 🥱

yeah... that was random. doesn’t take away the fact it’s a classic though.

Not 80s, can’t be a classic 🤡

90s is better anyway. 🤭

Nope 00s is where it's at.

oh, the 00s were AWESOME! a of a lot of tunes from back then.

oh my god, the first half got points and the second half didn’t 💀

YEAH 😭

If only the Confetti remix was counted, that would be like a 4. :)

1) good 4 u 10/10
2) body 7/10
3) kiss me more 8/10
4) save your tears 6/10
5) deja vu 1/10
6) drivers license 1/10
7)Butter 10/10
8) heart break anthem 8/10
9) confetti 9/10
10) good without 5/10

65% percentage

I like 6, 9, 11, 14 and 20. :)

Yeah, they are part of my favorites picks for 2021 and I just can't stop listening to them

Olivia Rodrigo don't deserve her success. She is a traitor herself for thinking her music is great. I don't care what other people think about what I am saying but she is a boring singer. Let's be honest and just say that we are better off without Olivia Rodrigo. She is a low life. She is more sadder than Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey. I can't even bear listening to her music and when I do it makes me sick. I am sorry not sorry and haters are going to hate.

i agree

Not a chance

She's probably the biggest name around right now, she's THAT big. I really like her music a lot, but I hope she doesn't hog the charts completely for the next few years, because it will just get annoyingly boring, like Ed Sheeran's success

The only brightside on her being such a big name is the 3 song limit meaning we don't risk any chance of a repeat of the whole Ed Sheeran divide fiasco. I'd imagine her audience being slightly more inclined to listen to her album than Tion Wayne's.

She is isn't dominating. She thinks she's is but she is not. Nobody knows her. She should have been a one hit wonder because she . Also, she should not deserve the success. Her music is really crappy. And it would be better to live without her. Jokes on you Olivia Rodrigo fans. I bet she streams her own music which is clearly cheating. I don't blame her mum for not liking Driver's License because it stinks.

No she ain't. People have to be faking this. AG is the biggest name not stupid Olivia Rodrigo.

“I don't blame her mum for not liking Driver's License because it stinks.”

omg where do you get your research bye 💀

I have just had enough of her being successful. I will be so glad when she won't number one anytime when it will happen.

What the heck is wrong with you ?? Do you ever think before writing these stuff ??

Don't worry an artist knows they've truly transcended into the mainstream when they get edge-lords denouncing their every release as trash without any real musical basis, you're paying Olivia the greatest compliment known to a singer.

AG flopping so hard right now

she is overrated as

Olivia should be ranked as a stinkyflop

I honestly quite dig it. The instrumental is surprisingly catchy and at least Bella can sing, unlike Dixie and Addison 😂 The lyrics aren't too bad as well, honestly hope she continues the good work, we could have a new popstar on our hands

i really don’t like it, because it’s a blatant copy of melanie martinez’s musical style. 😩

i’m not gonna downvote this though.

Yeah it's only the beat that Hits me from that song

I don’t want to downvote you, but it’s a bottom 10 song of the year, so I have to. :)

It's quality. I'll get hammered and roasted for saying that tho

..... Famous last words

Have you heard the Don Diablo remix ? You'll love the song even more

I got sick of it about 5 years ago. 😀

I hate didn't know too :P

yeah, i really don’t like tom zanetti’s music like at all.

still better than you want me though. 😭

I agree with basically all of this to be honest. :)

Especially on Marea, even if it’s only like a 7/10 for me, I’m so glad we have something new. :)

If only it was Apricots though.

apricots really should’ve made the top 40, it’d have been a weird sight to see but refreshing, i can’t remember when an electronic song like that was in the top 40.

Yeah, I’ve heard quite a lot of it, and I can’t recall a single time a song like either has even been close to charting. :)

1. (0/10) Rubbish stuff
5. (0/10) Rubbish and
6. (0/10) Rubbish and one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life.

Do you ever shut the f*ck up about Olivia Rodrigo like seriously

We had no trolls here last week, so let's hope that sets the tone on OCC for the rest of the summer. :)

I was active for just a few quick minutes last week so I didn't notice but I'm def. happy to see the positivity around here! Let's keep it up everyone :D

Yeah, the past two weeks have definitely given me some hope about the future of this site. :)

yeah, didn’t see the second one coming. :o

good for them, even if i prefer zitti e buoni. :)

Another liam

Yeah, lol

No it won't be having a long run at No.1 because more contenders next week you know and I would like to laugh at Olivia Rodrigo dropping to No.2 as I clearly hate her guts. Also, I don't think 'Life Goes On' should have the hype it's getting. Not being rude but PS1's music is so boring and I think there are better DJ's out there like Joel Corry and Jax Jones but it won't be as big as 'Fake Friends'. Sorry to all PS1 fans.

Lol you can hate on her all you want but I’m just speaking facts, it’s sales were just under double the sales of the number 2 single this week and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Just cause you hate an artist doesn’t stop what the facts are.

Well I am glad she isn't the biggest artist in history.

Can I ask why you hate her so much? What has she ever done to you, she’s just a talented young artist releasing music that is becoming very successful

Well she ain't successful in my books because I don't listen to her music

She ain't the youngest person to be successful.

Well, it is vulnerable.

Would've been Top 10 weeks ago if it wasn't for ACR :/ I'm glad the song is getting a second push just by the gp loving it so much

Hi Liam agree I can't recall either

ABBA and Celine Dion definitely have. They were both ages ago though.

Eurovision winners (or entrants) getting top 40 hits - before or after their career?
Englebert Humperdink, Bonnie Tyler, Scooch and tATu are all relatively recent entrants to have multiple top 40 hits - even multiple top 10s. In all of those cases, their biggest hits were before their Eurovision entry. In some cases, decades before!

I'd imagine he means Eurovision winners to get multiple Top 40 hits in the UK after winning the competition.

You have to go back that far to find an act to have multiple UK top 40s after their Eurovision win. None of the winners that I'm aware of had multiple UK top 40s since 1988 (Celine Dion). Sometimes even the winning song didn't chart!

The most successful Eurovision artists in UK chart after their entry performance since 1990 are possibly Gina G (5 top 40, 3 of which were top 10). She's also the last Eurovision act to have a UK #1 with their Eurovision song. Celine Dion and Cliff Richard have had #1s since then but they weren't their Eurovision entries.

If we count individuals, you could add Jenny Frost of Precious (1999 UK entry) who went on to be in Atomic Kitten (14 top 40s, including 3 #1s). Precious themselves had a few minor hits. Theie Eurovision entry was their only top 10.

Other than that, Eurovision hasn't really done anything to launch a serious career as far as UK chart hits are concerned. Not since the Berlin Wall came down anyway!

that's a huge fall

I don't really think so but maybe I am wrong.

Happy? How dare you. It isn't even good. It is torture. I cannot live a day with her being successful. I hope she drops to No.2 next week so I can laugh at it.

Completely agree

'Rasputin' has completely grown on me throughout the week tbh! I was a fan before but I like it even more now :D

I've always been a fan of it really! The original is still slightly better for me though, haha. :)

Hopefully it can get there next week though. :)

Yeah I aboslutely love the original! However, the radios here are playing the remix like crazy so I'm beginning to love it 😂

That song is just sticking to me

Same! The more I hear it, the more I like it ;)

I thought Boney M was making a comeback 😂

The first time I hear Boney M music outside of Christmas 😂

I honestly had no idea of Boney M's music outside of the original 'Rasputin' :P Glad the remix is giving it a new light tho

Yeah

lmao, i listen to boney m’s music outside of christmas each year, probably cause the original rasputin is great. 🙃

What other songs are doing really well where you are right now? :)

These days I mostly listen to the biggest radio station when I'm in the car/public places and that station heavily plays whatever is popular right now + surprisingly whatever is popular on this chart. You'd be surprised how similar it is... Whatever is in the Top 40 here on this chart, they're for sure playing 😅

I've actually been listening to a lot of Radio 1 & Capital FM this week, which is funny, because I don't usually listen to the radio that often unless it's for chart shows (I usually stream music on YouTube!). :P

Hey Tom! Did you watch the game today? :)

It looks like we finally got our revenge on you guys for what happened three years ago in Russia! ;)

Seriously though, I thought it was a really good match overall & both teams performed well enough that I still think both of our countries are going through to the knock-outs! :D

Hey Piran! I didn't watch the game today as I'm not quite the football fan myself :P

I am however rooting for my country in any sporting event so I hope we do well going forwards 😂

I actually am constantly listening to music on Spotify (unless I'm watching something or if I'm with friends etc.) so it's weird for me to be listening to the radio so much these days :P
I guess it just happens because I'm out more these days as Covid restrictions are slowly going away!

What's the situation like in Croatia for now? We're almost completely out of lockdown in the UK now, although the last stage of easing restrictions got delayed by four weeks, due to exponentially rising cases of the Delta variant (although almost everybody has had at least one dose of the vaccine now). :)

I still think you guys will qualify for the knock-outs though! England vs Scotland over here tonight, haha. :)

Here I'm pretty sure the situation is getting much better as it did last summer! We recently opened up restaurants and bars again (they were on lock from December to March and then when they opened back up you could only be in the open areas on a bar/restaurant so it was really tricky). Also everyone who's vaccinated can enter the country (tourist wise) so that's great as well :D
I'm also waiting for my 2nd dose of the vaccine, I got the Moderna one, what about you? Vaccinated yet?

I hope we qualify too, would be a shame if we didn't 😂

I think you'll come second in our group! ;)

I get my first dose next Thursday morning! It's either going to be Pfizer or Moderna for me, but not AstraZeneca. How did you feel the day after having your first dose? :)

The first day was kinda tough but not really. My arm kind of hurt (it felt like there was some sort of screw/nail in my arm?) but after I slept the night off it completely vanished by Day 2. But I heard the 2nd dose of the vaccine is way worse in terms of pain so I'm not excited about that 😅

Ah, that's cool to know that it only really lasts a day then. :)

Let's not forget Wasted Love finally debuting in the UK 😀

Ofenbach made it? That's amazing news! :D

particularly marea. that NEEDS to be the dance banger of the summer! :)

It's been my favorite song throughout most of the year :)

I remember first hearing it months ago now! We're so late to it, but better late than never. :)

'Heartbreak Anthem', 'Lean On Me' & 'By Your Side' all exist though! ;)

meh, haven’t heard and awesome respectively. :)

All of them are 10/10's for me, but I'm glad that we agree on the latter at least! ;)

I can't see By Your Side as a No 1 Single sadly. Possibly top 10, but not No 1.

Right ?? Even the Billboard EDM Charts beat you guys to it

It’s probably going to get blocked at #2 knowing my luck, given how massive ‘Good 4 U’ is right now! :P

Hey, I discovered ‘Body Back’ from that chart & that went on to be one of my favourite songs of the past couple of years! ;)

Although 'Good for you' has huge streams they are in decline though, crazy as it will hit acr first chance it gets but I guess that's an issue when you have such huge numbers they dwindle and with the acr rules as we have seen many times the no.1 song doesn't get to be no.1

It can't go on ACR til it's been on the chart 9 weeks. So we've got at least 6 more weeks where the only way it's getting undercut is something as big as it comes along or it starts to decline in streams, likely a mixture of both.

You never know where you'll find your next favorite song

thank God! I love that song!

Me too !! 😀

Yeah, most of my latest ones have either been from another chart or through someone else recommending it to me. :)

I don't think it's due to be placed on ACR until seven weeks from now at the earliest though. :)

For me it's various charts across Europe and Billboard and sometimes Shazam

I honestly follow almost every official international chart that exists (excluding ones that are only based on a single component). :)

Really ?? Even for songs you have no interest in ??

Yeah, that's right! Most of the charts that I follow usually have at least one songs in it that I like though. :)

People around me say I care too much about these charts

I've also been told that by a lot of people! :P

Yeah. I just ignore them and keep doing it 😂

Same here! :P

Cool

They're just too addicting, haha. :)

Exactly :)

I think there's only been like one or two Fridays over the past year where I haven't been here for the chart update! :P

I try my best to be here every Friday

Same here, although I'll be watching the football tonight. :)

Euro's !!!! 😍😍😍

Yeah, I'm obsessed with them, haha. :)

Hey Piran!

I've had a pretty hectic week, what about you?

Same here! I'm feeling a lot happier though, so that's a positive. :)

That's great to hear buddy! Let's hope for a great summer ✨

Thank you! I hope you have an amazing summer too. :)

My week's been alright

Glad you're doing okay. :)

What about you ??

I'm okay thanks! Way better than I was last week, haha. :)

That's nice

Yeah, hopefully the improvements will continue. :)

good. i’m only back to post my top 40 scores tho.

the stand out dance anthem of the year entering the top 40 at number 36 really made my day. so happy. ❤️

glad you're good! but why not comment a little? something happened?

Taking a break because of trolls

oh, it was mainly down to recent attacks from this zoom guy, but the coast seems clear for now. :)

eh hope he left you alone buddy :P

I hope we never have to deal with them again, they were super annoying :/

They might come back though, that's what trolls do. But we just need to ignore them

The less attention we give them, the better it is for everyone. They'll get bored surely :P

Hopefully :)
