Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 31/12/2021

Charity songs always do that though, even before streaming?

Also, it’s still in the Top 40, it held up decently unfortunately.

Do you not have anything better to do than spaz about streaming? 🙄

A pity really. I thought people were allowed opinions on here.

It just disappoints me the way the charts are these days. It wouldn't surprise me if next week all the songs that have been pushed out due to the influx of xmas songs will all be re entries in the chart on Friday. We need new material to keep coming to keep the charts vibrant and fresh. The charts are so stagnant now.

Nope, banned that ages ago. 😢

Okay then.

michael everyone’s opinion is valid here. it’s just that this comments section nowadays is just full of children who don’t care for other people or their opinion, and have no appreciation towards real music, which explains why there’s so many fans of ded sheeran and the mid laroi here. it’s become an absolute joke. but dw ima always respect your opinion no matter what ✊

ever heard of tracking data? i already explained this to you when halloween songs re entered. christmas day was during the tracking week and christmas songs were all people listened to on that day, and plus the streaming figures were so high that they just overshadowed other songs streamed for the rest of the week (sorry if i worded this poorly lol). happy new year btw!

Thanks for that.

Happy New year Ronald!!

Thanks https://disqus.com/by/damianjcamurri/ , HNY to you too!

😊😊

Lovely as it is, its a week too late.

Love Ella Henderson!!

Yeah when Xmas was over a week ago 🙄

Holland is not alone anymore!!!

Happy New Year https://disqus.com/by/thierryhenon/ !

Thanks Thierry!! same to you , double!!

Happy New Year Ronald! Hope you had a great Xmas and a nice rest as well..Back to reality now and back to work! Have a wonderful week.

Hi Thierry, I have another week off but on the 10th work starts again. So I am still enjoying my Christmas break and relaxing a lot. Love it! Hope you were able to relax too, we all need and deserve it from time to time!
Enjoy your week!

A great band TFF

i can't believe she passed away! i loved her! so close: 18 days from her 100th birthday!

💔 Betty White ...you will be missed!! deeply...

it’s so sad she couldn’t see 2022. she was so close.

💔💔

indeed. 18 days away from her 100th! have a good day.

💀

Yet to have a hit in the single-digit positions :-)

A great single. I have the original 7" still which goes for a lot on ebay! I think we should all get his 'Tennis' single into the chart!

by the way, I have a crownnote account now too, my username is lucidjade, and you should be able to find the top 50 from Wednesday and the top 20 I did today on there

You really like RAYE... I like "You" with Tate McCrae... Fantastic duo!!

I love her songs so much, also that’s a great song

since you all found this I’ll make a chart today

It was fascinating to watch! I really love The Waitresses single Christmas Wrapping, but my favourite is December Will Be Magic Again by Kate Bush and really can't understand why that doesn't reappear in the chart every year!

Btw, to wrap up this year in music, I've compiled my top tracks of the year on Lastfm if anyone's interested 👀 (https://www.last*fm/user/ItsElectrix/playlists/12255851 - y'all know the deal, replace the * with a . ) I'd love to see any of your year-end lists as well so feel free to share them if you like👌

And last but not least, stream Next by B Minus... only the real ones do 🤭

happy new year electrix!

i don’t really have a year-end list, but my favourite song of the year is traitor by olivia rodrigo. that song just takes me to another place, it’s so good.

Happy New Year!

2021 was such a fast year. 😫

happy new year!

Happy New Year Ben. It's been a while

omg it was

the way we literally went from january 1 to december 31 with a snap of the fingers~

you're right it is! Last year little mix blocked it with Sweet Melody st #9!

oh and Avril Lavigne, I hope Bite Me goes back in

Hopefully not, I hate those songs. D:

same, they’re terrible imo

i’d rather not bite avril, that’d hurt her :P

I really hope the motto does

i wouldnt mind seeing the motto go top 5 like the business did, one of the best edm songs ive seen in the chart for a while

I could’ve sworn you said that ‘Traitor’ was your favourite song of the year the other day, but ‘Drivers License’ is an absolutely amazing choice too, haha. :)

omg i forgot, i have a square brain 😩

but yeah, drivers license was close.

To be fair, they're all fairly close given that six of your 10/10's from last year are on 'Sour'! 😊

message in a bottle too :D

What if I want to stream it everyday? :P

Sorry, but I can’t stand the re-recording of that song. :(

Maybe I’ll stream the original though. :)

stream ctrl by sza while you’re at it too 😻

thats not a problem haha!

Will do then! ;)

me too! :)

Don't do that, give the time to all too well 10 minutes taylor version

I don't like most of taylor's rerecordings

No...thanks

Given that I’ve streamed it 45 times in the past seven days, I think I’m doing that already! :P

brilliant #1!!

thanks! there’s no way this wasn’t gonna be number 1 for me, its a great song and i’ve streamed it a sh*t ton lately :P

wild west an evening with silk sonic savage mode II and call me if you get lost <3

nice collection, especially adele x2 and silk sonic!

thanks! i’m glad i got the silk sonic album as it’s one of my favourite releases of the year, but it was 10.99 at hmv, which, imo, is too much for a 9-track album 😬

wild west is the first uk drill album to be added to my collection :)

It's not possible to do mine. I just bought over 50 CD Singles from the charity shop!
I'll be going back when they open next year as they have 3 times as many of the same sort of thing in the back office :-)

I predict a CD singles comeback in 2022. I've always been more into vinyl but I'm getting a little bit nostalgic for some CDs now.

ooh nice! just as well, given that cd singles are starting to make a comeback :)

I hope CD singles come back as in the old good days

I'd be in Heaven if I could be in an HMV store for once in my life!!!! So lucky you areeee!!!. Woolworths is still open?

i literally want abcdefu or (even though this literally is not happening) bed to get a reset and get to number 1

I think (& desperately hope) it's the latter, haha. :)

New music has to be released first

coming for you > abcdefu :(
don't like either nor much of the contenders apart from seventeen going under and overseas

I'm afraid I can only agree with you on 'Seventeen Going Under' on this occasion! :P

i like the sample for coming for you which i think helps lol, dont like the melody for abcdefu

I like the sample in 'Coming For You' too, but I really don't like how that sample's used. :/

Coming For You next PLEASE. 😫

i reckon it'll be GAYLE for 2/3 weeks at least unless Peru does it, but i hope not

it got a remix (which, i think, is slightly better than the original), so there’s no way it isn’t going top 3 at least.

i hope it reaches number 1 though, it’s great

I’d rather not have abcdefu at all, but it’ll probably get there unfortunately. :(

They'll be back in next week, probably close to the Top 40. :)

next week they'll be back :D

Jinx :D

You beat me to it again! :P

teehee

My heart goes, along with many other tracks will most likely get an ACR reset next week? Be a battle for no.1 for Gayle against Adele, Sam Fender and maybe even Ardee or Ed

Happy new year!!!

I’m fairly sure that Gayle has it in the bag. :)

That's so... The alphabet song should go to the top spot!!!!

Yeah, I think both the First Look & full chart update are confirming that too, even if I’d much prefer seeing ‘Seventeen Going Under’ at #1 instead! ;)

Happy New year

you too!

You too. :)

Thank you! :D

Happy new year Piran, have an amazing 2022!

Wish you a happy new year dear Piran!! Sending all my l9ve from Buenos Aires!!

You too, Dami. :)

Thanks Piran!! same wishes for you, keep strong in this new year!!! I die to see your stoplight judging on the charts!!!

You too, Rob. :)

They’ll hopefully be returning this Friday. :)

Thank u buddy!!!

Thanks Piran... Best warm wishes... Hope you travel more this year... and hope nobody breaks your heart, but mend it instead... Wish you happiness all the way in 2022!!! ☺️☺️☺️

Your kind words have made my day! The same wishes back to you. :)

i hope it goes back to the top 40 next week

I have a feeling it will! There were only seven non-festive songs in this week's Top 40 anyway, so it's chance are looking fairly good for it to re-enter the region next week, haha. :)

I think "Good for you" is growing back to the top 40...so I think with "I wish", "Time after time", "Wherer are you now, "Heat Waves", and "Love Nwantiti" they all will be back to the top 20 some, and top 40 others...and Ed Sheeran will keep his 3 or 4 songs as well as Adele with the 3 that she already has...plus I have a feeling that Diana Ross will enter with at least 2 of her new songs: "The Answer's Always Love" and "I still believe", or "Count on me"

I think ‘Good 4 U’ will be back in next week’s Top 40 too! :D

where do you think the highest re-entry will be? I reckon it will be Bad Habits at #9

Potentially, although wouldn't 'Overpass Graffiti', 'Peru' & 'Shivers' all potentially be above it? :P

peru wont count cos ed isnt the first artist

peru is credited to Fireboy DML so I think that'll help him get past the 3 song rule, same as how elton with Merry Christmas

Ah, I thought he was a co-lead artist on it! At least that what OCC says, haha. :)

I think they'll find away around the rule to accomodate for him having more sings in the chart haha

You'd think so, but look what happened with KSI a few weeks ago! :P

yeah wasnt ksi credited as co-lead on Don't play and still had 4 songs in the top 40?

Yeah, because I think he was featured on one of those songs! :P

i think it was Anne-Marie/KSI/DFA on it which helped him get around it, and i think it'll be the same for ed as Fireboy DML is credited before Ed on Peru

Same with JB back in the summer! :P

yeah. speaking of JB they did the same thing with Peru as with Despacito, crediting JB and now Ed when normally they don't credit the remix artist

I only just found out that the charting version was a remix! I thought it was an original with Ed on it all along, haha. :)

haha

Even if he was a co-lead, the OCC only count the first artist listed towards the 3 songs rule. :)

I wonder if 'Chasing Cars' will reappear? That seemed to be around forever!

Despite it being the most played song on the radio so far this century, it rarely appears in the singles chart nowadays thanks to ACR, so I doubt it’ll be re-entering in next week’s chart. :/

Really? So ‘Stay’ wouldn’t have counted towards JB’s tally? :O

I'm gonna count them 😂

I guess Gyalis will return to the top with ABDCEFU...and also Adele with Esay on me will be back to the top ten or at least the top 20 and I predict that the OCC will reconsider their 3 song rule to 4...it already happened with Elton this Chriistmas, he had 4 songs in the 100 singles list...

The three songs rule doesn’t seem to have changed at all, but you’re definitely right about ‘ABCDEFU’ as it was #1 in the First Look chart last night. :)

I think you’ll probably be counting for at least a few minutes, haha. :)

Let's see :)

Man!! yiou almost made it!! it re-entered at # 11....so close to your prediction!!

Our Guru!! They actually did!!! I so admire you, Piran!!!

Always appreciate your support, Luis. :)

I wish it was, how cool would it be for Last Christmas to start and end the year at #1!!!

I've looked into this & I honestly think it would be the first time that's ever happened in the singles chart! :O

it would be absolutely amazing, another record for George and Andrew!!

So close, yet so far. :/

I would've sworn that was the thing to be, Wham's Last Christmas at the top spot 😒

“Maybe next year”. :/
