Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 19/11/2021

oh yeah it’s also been YEARS since gorillaz got a top 40 hit, so that’d be nice

Most of these would be good (except from a few of the artists on point 3), but unfortunately unrealistic. :(

—

My predictions for 2022:

• Little Mix finally disband
• LadBaby gets a fifth consecutive Christmas Number 1
• Ed Sheeran and Adele are nowhere to be seen by March
• Christmas songs outsell the football songs
• Joel Corry, Merzbow, 100 gecs, Charli XCX, Tom MacDonald, RiceGum, KSI, Hopsin and Rina Sawayama collaborate to make the biggest song of all time

how is ladbaby gonna get a 5th number 1 if he’s not returning this year? lol

also charli, rina and our fatneek are way too good for those other fartists you listed. 🤭

wdym by that? it’s boring seeing her at the top for five weeks or the song is boring?

regarding the latter, adele has done better but i still love the song to bits

True, 30 actually put me to sleep. 💀

Oooo Disqus has changed its emojis

It'll be awesome to see you back there again. :)

i’m shutting down my crownnote account, however my top 40 can still be found via a spotify playlist - if anyone cares to view it, here’s the link (replace the asterisks with full stops):

The charts now are A LOT better than the start of the year.

I love this! great top 10!!!

It was only released yesterday, so it'll probably be in the charts next week. :)

Hopefully :)

I've not heard it yet, but I really liked 'Don't You Worry About Me' from earlier in the year, so my expectations are high for it. :)

Don’t you worry about me (7/10)

They did a great track with Riton after that too which used a sample of 'come with me to the dance floor' which was also sampled by the prodigy a few years ago. Hopefully they will chart again next week

I wasn't a big fan with 'Come With Me' if I'm being honest. :/

Woah, I'll have to check that out as soon as possible then, haha. :)

😮I loved it

It's decent, but Bad Boy Chiller Crew have done way better in my opinion. :)

never liked bad boy chiller crew 😬

All of a sudden i love their music, idk why lol

“an embarrassment to avicii’s legacy” shush fam imagine getting embarrassed over a song

your the embarrasing one, getting prssed over a review. its my opinion, which I am entitled to :)

i agree with you on all of these lol, sad seeing the switchocr song in the top 10 its generic and doesnt match the sample and the production is dreadful, and i've loved better days since the day it dropped im so glad its doing well rn :D

yeah but… it’s just a song?

and I just don't like it, how hard is it to comprehend that?

nah mate it’s the fact you’ve reacted to the song like a snowflake would react, i’m fine with you not liking coming for you but saying it’s “embarrassing” is overreacting and being a bit childish and i can’t take people who say sh*t like that seriously. two weeks ago piran said it was disrespectful and i couldn’t help laughing at his review and downvoting it cause that’s something a hypersensitive person would say. again it’s ok to not like it but come on, have some respect to switchotr and a1 x j1 because they worked really hard to create such a great song and the sample was cleared (if it wasn’t, they’d be in court). at least it’s real music 🤷‍♀️

obviously I disagree but respect the opinion anyways

ty for respecting my opinion

np, also I’ll be trying to stream 30 on Monday 👀

I am most definitely not a fan. I can stand it but I would not play it optionally!

Completely off-topic, but your dog is so cute! 😍

It’s not mine (it’s my nan’s) but ty

I'm completely addicted to it rn. <3

You're welcome! Have a nice week ahead. :)

it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas indeed! :)

Excited to see your Red scores! I'm doing atop 40 review this week!

I can see a few jaws dropping at some of the scores coming up later, haha. :)

I love this!!! And yessss Ronan with 100%! Its such a sweet, beautiful song and i love it so so much too! I agree with pretty much everything apart from Everything has changed! great review

The only reason that 'Ronan' isn't that high up in my charts this week is because the story behind it is too sad for it to get a high replay factor, but I agree that it's an absolutely beautiful song!

Thanks for the comment. :)

Oof, well, glad to see 'Stop The Rain' as the best track on the album. :)

I'd definitely recommend the whole album! It really relaxes me as a whole & 'Loved Again' is just an absolute bop, haha. :)

I know! My mental health hasn't been great this week so Red has helped a lot, and I listened to Ronan when I needed a good cry haha!

I think this album will just age amazingly well for everybody! I already regret not giving a higher score than I said in my review, haha. :)

Sorry to hear that! I'm always here if you need a chat at anytime. :)

thank you Piran!

You're welcome. :)

well, that’s your christmas list sorted 😂

Was there any surprise that this was going to score above 90% for me though? :P

'Music On The Spheres' has been growing on me a lot lately too, so that might be the second album on my list, haha.

I already replied to you about this when you told me on Monday, but once again, congratulations on your coming out & I'm glad that you've received such a positive response so far! I hope that continues for you. :)

my dad found out for himself and surprisingly he’s fine with it too!

That's amazing news. :)

twins, also so proud of you

awh, ily too! i’ll always support you too no matter what 💗

i know we've not been on the best of terms at all since a while but like congrats on coming out, its smth i fully support as a gender fluid person so yeah :)

Being out will bring you a brand new sense of freedom. Congrats, my friend! The sky's the limit.

thanks for the support mate! i’m so glad i did.

oh you’re genderfluid? proud of u too and thanks for the support

yea, since about march i think, and thanks :)

Since we are on the subject of the LGBTQI+ community and pop music, I have this blog (I have been inactive lately but there is good stuff for anybody who cares for the influence of the LGBTQI+ community on pop music. The link is, if anybody cares to visit (replace the asterisks with dots): gaycultureland*blogspot*com/

Congrats Colombia on your brave decision! You have to do whatever you want to do in life no matter ppl say, they'll always gonna talk, and do as an old and magnificent Belinda Carlisle' song from the 90's (which I recommend you to look for it) titled "live your life, be free". Love mate!

live your life be free is a classic! also thanks so much for the support <3

'My Heart Goes [La Di Da]' was robbed of a Top 10 position in the UK charts. :/

Nice to see 'Better Days' here too!

yeah it was :(

So much!!! It was 100% top 10 worthy!

#11 for four consecutive weeks too! :(

I think it's going on ACR next week though. :/

it is :(

This has to be the most weeks a song has spent at #11. :/

Absolutely agree buddy. We all wish she had another top ten hit

I think she's only had two Top 10 hits so far. :/

It'll almost certainly be Adele again next week! Her new album was released today, haha. :)

haha I can still live in hope! :P

TBH im so happy taylor is in the top 3! as long as shes still in the top40 next week i'll be happy!

Hopefully enough people were inspired by the 10-minute version of it that Radio 1 played today, haha. :)

Surprised they played the 10 minute version tbh let alone in full

I'm surprised too, but I'm not complaining about it either. :)

Definitely, Christmas songs are already doing numbers.

Won't be too suprised to see it eventually getting to the number 1 spot, possibly after the christmas songs drop out again!

Brilliant Song and so well deserved.
Seeing Sam Fender next year at Brighton and Newcastle can't wait.
Spit Of You is up to No48.

You're so lucky to be seeing him live twice! So happy that he got his second #1 album last month. :)

I don't see that happening sadly even with the TikTok boost, but Sam Fender getting his first Top 10 single with this is honestly beyond any expectations I had for it. :)

im surprised its top 10 so soon tbh :O

Same here! :O

It must've got big on TikTok faster than we were all expecting, haha.

👊🏾

it’s amazing isn’t it? long love juice!

Yes it is amazing and I can’t wait for the album next month

I can definitely see it growing later on. It’s such a good song

absolutely. 10/10.

Light 9/10 for me currently, but that'll probably go up since it was competing with Taylor for my attention, haha. :)

number 3 is a very good result, especially for such a banging tune too

'All Too Well' is honestly one of the best written break-up songs of all-time for me!

The 10-minute version only made it even better in my opinion. :)

It received #1 on Australian charts.
