Majestic x Nightcrawlers - Losing My Mind, WHERE the is this jewel?? One of the best dance songs of the year so far. I´ve had this on repeat all the time! Greetings from Finland, we are so much than rock in Finland, this is just so captivating and all the other adjectives!!

Not chart related, but does anyone else think radio 1 playing only one genre of music for an entire weekend is a terrible idea?

avatar

yeah, it ain’t a great idea at all, especially when they have a separate station for that.

i guess this is a way to promote the station though.

Fun Fact : Wellerman became popular in France because of another remix. It wasn't the Billian Ted Remix but The Argules remix. Listen to it, it's not that bad ;)

Sad to see that Rudimental isn't getting much success from their new singles in their album. Only Come Over and Be The One that have charted :(

have you heard their new one that dropped today? it’s called jumper and i absolutely love the production... too bad kareen lomax has to ruin it with her below average singing.

7/10.

Have I heard it ?? I've downloaded it 😂I. actually liked it 8/10. It's less than "So Sorry" but still worthy of listening to

I'd love to do some studies into it but frankly cba, but it really does seem the switch to streaming has made it harder for old artists to comeback in terms of the Top 40 unless they're absolute mega stars.

K

Exactly

Absolutely love that 3 songs from 'Happier Than Ever' got in the Top 40. My favourite from the album isn't here but so glad, Happier Than Ever got Number 6!!

Does actually get excited about the charts anymore? Barely any movement and the songs are dire and predictable.

avatar

afrog

barely any movement? lmao ACR exists :/ also i love some of the songs here, however the #1,4,8 and 9 are dreadful

avatar

🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜

tbh no matter what kind of songs are in, i don’t exactly get “excited” for them, they’re just a list of songs at the end of the day so i don’t take them seriously but there’s some bangers in there.

I get excited

It ain't fair that only 3 songs of Dojas are charting. Same as Billie Eilish. OCC should allow any song of the same artist to chart. They shouldn't care what other people say. If they say it is unnecessary, tough. They have got to understand it is wrong that 'You Right' went out of the Top 100 at #25. I won't stop complaining until they change that. The singles chart is meant to showcase all of the songs that have been listened to the most. There should be no ACR which ruins chart performance. They should just leave it even when it declines. So that is another thing I won't stop complaining about until they ditch it. The public shouldn't care about the rules. The rules were better before ACR and 3-song Rule. People need to understand that they shouldn't have been pressed about those old rules. It would be great if the rules went back to normal before the last Ed Sheeran album bomb and before ACR (started about September 2017). So the public has to understand that ACR and 3-song rule shouldn't exist. I know the album bombs sucked but it was the most streamed stuff. People don't complain about album bombs in the US so don't be in the UK. I would there to be more album bombs in the UK. We will see when Ed's new album comes out. I know it will have an album bomb.

What did everyone think of Billie’s new album?

Some of the tracks on there were a little boring but some of them are absolute tunes like Happier Than Ever and Oxytocin.

Cool to see that she got the Number 1 album this week though.

I really didn't think any song was boring though

I loved every song, would've replaced 'Oxycotin' in this chart for my favourite on the album however

avatar

none of the songs were exactly “boring” imo, but i can see why most people would think that. :)

glad you like the title track though, it’s so GOOD!!!

What?! ‘Happier Than Ever’ actually managed to debut in the Top 10? :O

That’s amazing! 😍

That was expected, but I’m shocked it’s as high as it is. 😍

K

Listening to the song again, it's actually pretty good

I don't think it even in the Top 10 of the update, so to see it as high as #6 in the final chart is amazing! :D

Wooooohoooo!!! Even thou NDA got out, 3 of BE songs got in the top 40...6 / 28 / and 32

I expected "Happier than ever" to debut high in the chart, but I thought "Oxytocin" was going to debut higher than #32. Mellow over Rhythm

avatar

Luis Gerardo Amador

Hi, Piran!!! How are you girl doing? Gladly surprised, huh? The chart moved in a nice way, people are streaming good music, thou we still have "Dance Monkey", "Perfect", "Someone you loved", "Watermelon Sugar", "Blinding lights" and a couple more, still charting... I remember "Happy" stayed more than 100 weeks as well... But I really liked majority of the movements... What about you??

avatar

Piran

1

Yeah, I really liked the chart this week too! I'm doing good too, I met up with some friends yesterday & now I'm back at home with family today. :)

avatar

Piran

1

Yeah, I'm surprised that 'NDA' dropped out entirely this week, even with the three songs rule limiting the number of songs Billie could have here! :O

GA

Gerardo Amador

2

I´m sure if it wasn´t due to the limiting 3 songs most of the album would be charting, and at least 3 of her songs would top the chart, even if only for a couple of weeks each...

Great!! just be careful when you go out, the virus is still on the rampage!! but don´t you forget to continue living, I go out and exercise every morning at around 6 because there´s few people in the hill where I go, then at night I do Zumba because I love dancing!! 🕺

Hey Gerardo! :)

I saw on the current article that you were also on Discord! I wanted to message you here to ask if you'd be interested in joining a server that I'm part of?

It's effectively a music server that's kind of similar to the public one, although we usually talk about more general topics there & even have our own radio shows, whether it's chart countdowns, throwbacks, emoji challenges, quizzes, song requests, album reviews, or even more! It's not a rival server to the one that you're currently in at all, in case you're wondering.

I think you'd really like it there, especially with some regulars like CJ & Mateusz already commenting there every day!

Let me know what you think, but my username there is Piran#0172 if you want to add me there.

Have a nice remainder of the weekend!

GA

What’s your username there anyway, just so I know who to look out for a friend request from?
