Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 09/12/2022

Love the BACKSTREET BOYS! the best boyband EVER!! How are you btw? Nice week end so far? You have to listen to LIZZO XmAS track: Someday at Christmas...Original song from Stevie Wonder...have a lovely week end my friend..

are you effing kidding me...i was OBSESSED with bsb back in the day :D them and tlc are my all time fave groups i've seen on the hot 100 chart all these years. one direction would be right behind them. but you should've seen bsb in the hot 100 top 10 back in the day ;). my all time fave year being a hot 100 fan was when bsb's debut album would be on the charts...their album kept getting bigger and bigger and they had hit after hit. this would've been in 1997-98.

and thanks mate, i'll check out that lizzo track ;)

that lizzo track was ok, i like the other upbeat lizzo pop songs you recommended to me last time ;)

well don't know if you're a george michael fan, but wham is in both the uk and u.s.'s top 10 with 'last xmas'. i vaugely recall hearing it on the radio back in the day.

Great to see you here again buddy

Though I'm not a George Micheal fan, I am a big fan of last Christmas. It's such a catchy tune :)

Nice to see you too :)

yep! i used to him in the hot 100 top 10 in the early 90s when i first got into the chart.

Love the Mariah Carey cover of BPCH, let's hope it re-peaks this year.

Hahah...that's because its on Spanish. It's a really classic in Latin America, but its way too old

Absolutely! And some of the Christmas Kylie songs too

Absolutely agree, so sick of those old songs

It was about time

So tedious

There are not enough sales anymore. This is how music is consumed now. Sales are almost non-existent.

Yeah that's what I mean. It's all irrelevant now. There were arguments for years about including Airplay from Radio Stations in the charts but this is basically the same thing.

theres a seperate sales chart now. we're not in 2010 anymore keep up

Always thought the same, I know that sales are not strong enough to rule a chart, but those years of charts that every artist could have a song inside the top 100 until streaming arrived, were golden

We know that, but streaming rules are so unfair for most artists which are no under the radar

No need to be rude about it. Lol.

there’s a sales chart that a few people frequently visit, it’s easy to access

It's kind of sad though that the actual chart is so distorted with what people stream. On paper, sales figures for example for Mariah Carey's Christmas standard are so much affected by including streams because the song that originally held it off the number one spot actually SOLD shed loads more, East 17 Stay Another Day, but streaming has eclipsed it. It's just a moan, I know I can't change it. It's like the way they claimed that song from Portugal got the highest score ever in Eurovision when they had doubled the available points that year. All relative and just me having a moan. Ha ha. Anyway, Happy Christmas and I hope Raye gets the Christmas number one!

Separate*

there's*

the chart is a bit of a mess right now especially if you include the rules that make it so inaccurate. that’s one reason why i haven’t really been caring about it as of recent (i’ve just done my own thing and explored other music). and yeah, escapism is a banger! merry christmas and i’ll see ya in 2023… i say that, because ladbaby have cancelled christmas again. 😣

Ladbaby! Seriously!!!!!!!!

"She's beginning to look a lot like Bieber
Everywhere she goes
At the top of the festive charts
Is the queen of Christmas hearts
With pearly teeth and golden tan aglow..."

amazing to see that you like heroes & villains! i think it’s a late aoty contender at this point

wouldn't go that far for me but it's definitely been on pretty heavy rotation since i first heard it on like tuesday lol

I’m too young to know that these are too old

That’s sarcasm btw

Misread your second-last suggestion as The Goodies for a moment there John, and thought you were advocating a chart return for their festive classic Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me :)

creepin in good tier is extremely based :))

I really like it! Even 21 Savage is growing on me a lot as a rapper. :)

biggest negative tiers yet lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f8202fafe0c827115fbce682c7818987c7275f30a05ac740bc9a4e0366faa148.png

Yassss Santa tell me is the highest Christmas song we Stan that

But why anti hero in bad

why not 🥺

How do you make this? I wanna try.

why am i still doing this when theres a holiday takeover lmao https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a894e4277b3639a029a54564eae88e76c7bded9b88ec38764e16c3fb461687a9.png

left half lookin like an ice pop

hey mate how's it going? oh did you hear elton john quit twitter. i used to go on his twitter from time to time.

, there won’t be any green left by the end of the month! 😅

You can literally set it up on Excel! 😊

It’s just a case of entering the Top 40 from best to worst, then colouring in each cell (using the “Format Painter”) with your opinion of it. :)

Idk why I still do it either! 😩

I don’t blame him! Twitter is so toxic & it’s probably a boycott against Elon Musk since he wants to monetise it. :/

i heard jim carrey also left, i'm still there though. so sorry on what's happening to nick carter of the backstreet boys. bull**** story in my honest opinion.

oh mate, how's our mate louis doing in the uk? i saw his new album debuted over here @ #5? how did it do in the uk?

1-25-62-62! 😅

really?? does he have any current top 10 singles over there?

well i'm def. obsessed with this current allegation against nick carter of the backstreet boys...i believe he's innocent. that chick from a few yrs back, in my honest opinion is behind all this.

What's he being accused of? I've not heard this story. 🤔

I don't think he charted a single from the album in the Top 100! 😳

hey what's up mate! i'll be on this friday's article on sat. i wanna wish everyone a merry xmas. forgive me for asking, were we talking about louis? i was so surprised to see his new album enter @ #5 on the billboard 200 chart.

oh i'm on the riaa site and lil' wayne's #1 hit 'lollipop' just went diamond! i remember it @ #1 back in the day...gonna be 15 yrs next year! dang! LOL! i bought his cd, he has a great track with robin thicke on it. also mariah's xmas song just went 12x plat.! i had that cd back then. i think our 1D mates deserve some new riaa updates ;) https://www.riaa.c*m/gold-platinum/

he's being accused of se*ual assault (don't know if i can write that first word LOL!) by a woman who claims this happened during their black and blue tour in tacoma washington back in 2001. but there's some holes in her story ;). her and remember that first accuser i told you about years back? she was a former pop star who also accused him of , but her case was dismissed about 5 yrs ago? well they're both giving interviews in other countries and this current accuser gave a press conference. so she says that she met nick during a meet and greet autograph line and he took her on a tourbus and se*ually assaulted her.

the problem: bsb DIDN'T have autograph events during this tour! this was when they were very big and they were rushed to their tourbuses and sped away with police escorts to their hotel rooms. extra security and even police would be held back to keep the crowds away from their buses. i believe that 1st accuser is behind all this and is making this current woman say these things. as a result this current accuser is suing nick for about $35k. also 1 of nick's younger sisters call out this woman cuz in reality this woman was chasing nick and his sister was trying to keep her away from him: https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=URf_5Vy8mos

I don't think you can write the first word here! 😅

Yeah, you were asking me if he'd charted any singles in the UK, haha. :)

hey merry xmas mate! was there a hot 100 article this past wk? oh i've been sick these past few days, i even had to call out of work this last friday. i may have to call out tomorrow too. oh i have a paid wk off of work coming up in mid jan. but i'll go on the occ article in a sec.

yeah i didn't think i could LOL! but a lot of holes in her story...not only that 1 of nick's younger sister tried to keep this woman away from her brother cuz she was chasing after nick cuz he was rich! i mean, if he raped you why do you wanna be his girlfriend for?

hey mate i took the day off work today, lemme know when the hot 100 article will post up. i'll be taking a lunch break soon, but should be back online in case the article isn't up yet.

If there's a Hot 100 article this week, then it'll post tomorrow morning for you because of the Christmas holiday!

I don't think there will be though since there's not expected to be any significant change at or near the top. :/

I think there was an article last week, but nobody commented on it! 😩

hey mate, well doing some finances and enjoying my pot of coffee LOL! i'll double check for a headline planet article, but i'll be on the current occ article...THANKS so much for telling me about flo. i never knew who they were! they are really good! their style is so much like the 90s r & b female groups we had over here but they really do have their own distinct sound. can't wait to chat with everyone on occ about them :))))))

oh mate, shared a story about lisa presley on the occ article on her. i think i've told you about it in the past.

You're welcome! I knew they'd be right up your alley from the second I heard them. :)

are you on the current occ singles page? don't know if you like 90s r & b, but i put up 2 throwbacks list from that era. and yes, i'm really digging flo! i think simon cowell can make them just as big if not bigger than our 1D mates.

oh any recent hot 100 articles on headline planet? i couldn't find one

Neither can I. :/

oh ok...well i'm on the current occ article if you wanna chat there.

I’m just replying to everyone now, so will be on here for about an hour or two. :)

i'm just browsing thru some of the articles on here...reminds me of billboard when we could comment right on the articles.

I miss those days too, which is why I comment more on the YouTube videos for the Hot 100. :)

oh yeah i forgot about youtube LOL!

if you can send me a link, i'd like to hop over there and check it out.

Do you want the Top 10, Top 50 or Top 100? 👀

wherever you hang out on. i couldn't find the hot 100 videos from billboard on youtube yesterday.

Here’s one for only the Top 10:
www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=997nuMMt6sM

Just ask if you want any of the others! 😊

ok thanks mate, sorry i wasn't on yesterday...i was cleaning my house and took about a 2 hr nap LOL! but i'll be on the official charts in just a few min.

hey that top 10 vid is really good! gives me a check out the actual songs from the top 10...thanks mate! oh you should have no problem knowing which one is me :P

oh and mate, the tay-tay one is pretty good ;). i really like the weekend 'die for you'...not really feeling the drake one.

Yeah, I already caught your reply there, haha. :)

I also like how you can hear snippets of the songs. You couldn’t do that with the articles! 😅

You like ‘Anti-Hero’? That’s amazing to hear! 😊

yeah i haven't heard that song yet until you sent me that vid. i really don't have a problem with her doing well on the charts, but it does sting that a record feat that took a long time to achieve can be broken so quickly. that's why i still think billboard should separate streaming and pre-streaming feats. or @ least quit saying 'so & so' surpassed pre-streaming artists.

yeah that's very clever ;). back in the day before the billboard launched their website over here mtv would do a 'top 10 sneak peek' and do the same thing. a quick re-cap of the top 10 singles for that wk.

It’s random it’s occ

My impact omg yay

BYE 😭😭😭💀

are you dumb or stupid 💀

‘Anti-Hero’ at #1 & ‘Escapism’ in the Top 10! 😊

So intrigued about the shot top debut. Dont know them and I want to listen to

It's a ballad by two Swedish singers that CJTheDJ recently recommended to me. :)

I'm gonna to check them out definitely. Love Scandinavian pop music

Scandipop had such a good year! 😊

next stop... #1 in january!!!

Really hope so

what fix? she's literally got a handicapp on her streams and is STILL at #1 😭 😭 😭

Nah cos she’d be no.1 last week if not

No, it's because of Jessie J! She loves christmas music the most!

i quite like maisie's xmas song but im BEGGINGGGG please don't let it be her top 40 breakthrough she has sooooooo many better songs that deserve top 40 over a mediocre xmas song

Still wonder how Alexa does it though

Via streaming on Amazon music app

mainly cos everytime someone says 'alexa play me...' it contributes. soptify, apple etc dont have this feature

Hmm... Good thought

Being £2 cheaper than spotify or apple music if you have a prime account? Has all the same songs the other streaming platforms have plus their own exclusives. Saving money in the current economy is definitely a plus point

hmm. that makes sense.

that is correct!

Impressive that it's doing as well as Anti-Hero is though!

it is very high on amazon xmas playlist which is helping, cos amazon always has more influence at xmas

It’ll be on acr on dec 30th ain’t I correct

i don't know if in this case it'll be on acr then or until the 3 year mark cos acr is if its been declining for 3 consecutive weeks, and it won't be able to do that so it might not go to permenant acr until its 3 years old

nope, it’s only a year old this year unless it declines then it could

Wel it won’t pass aiwfciy and last Christmas and we all know what happened to super freaky girl which got acr’s after one week of decline

Yeah Amazon is way bigger than people think, it's just its audience is far more varied listening to a huge variety of different tastes as opposed to listening to more popular music but Xmas more people tend to listen to Xmas music or playlists

no it was declining for 3 weeks in streaming

idek why its happening 😭 😭 😭 hope they sort it out asap

I doubt it! :P

boy what the boy

I thought the same!! Lol!!

People are going to look at the chart & probably think "well, that's not Mariah Carey!". :P

I don't know anymore! 😭

Kill me on the spot

Hahaha, there's some sort of problem with the guy in charge of editing de pics to the songs😄😄😄

It appears to have changed back to the normal cover art for now! 👀

Yessss!!! 😆😆

😂😂

Those viewing with a PC will get what I mean.

Bieber remix too good it ended RAYE

Till new year at least. LOL

lmaoooooo

lol my thought exactly

😄😄😄😄

10:35 is going to definitely have a huge resurgence, especially since it’s already gone top 40!!

hopefully top 10 in the new year! she's all i wanna be and the motto were robbed of top 10 peaks earlier this year

Can't wait. :)

I know that everybody loves Christmas' songs, I never was into festive songs so much, but I can't stand this part of the year when its only about the same old Christmas songs

Really hope so

Absolutely agree

Yeah, some songs have shifted over time, but you always know it's going to be Mariah & WHAM! in the Top 2 every single year! 😩

Endessly Mariah and Wham!! , though they're my 2 fave Christmas songs, they should take a rest😁

Anyway, you excited for the big game on Sunday? 👀

I imagine there’s a lot of excitement where you are now!

Yessss Pi....I'm out of my nerves!!! Almost having a mental breakdown 😄😄. Everybody in Argentina is nuts over the big final next Sunday! 🙏

As you should be! I know we'd all feel the same over here if we made it that far. :)

luckily its only cos of christmas!

They'll be back by January

Thank god tho

I know right

Another Love isn't on ACR

another love had a manual reset!

Another love got reset on acr, also want to bring up dreams by fleetwood max which was on acr when that returned

i’m really hoping for those artists to break through, piri & tommy are amazing in general and flo just won the rising star award so they should chart soon

there’s also some other artists that i want to see in the charts next year. the list is too long tho

Absolutely! Honourable mentions to Baby Queen & Dylan too, but like you said, I could go on all night if I wanted to, haha. :)

Holy words you've said brother!!! So many efforts for many artists to produce and release a record and they can't even have an entry into the top 100

Exactly! I feel sorry for any chart-watchers where Christmas music isn't their thing. :/

Even the Christmas #1 battle could be dominating by LadBaby for a fifth consecutive year, so even that feels like it's lost its excitement!

Exactly, me , being foreign, don't even know who this Ladbaby is? But it's seem he releases a single Christmas after Christmas and its number 1, kinda joke

LadBaby’s been Christmas Number One here every year since 2018, but it’s always been with a song about sausage rolls! 😩

He’s raising money for food banks at least, but musically, you’re definitely not missing much. :/

Omggg!!! The charity cause is fine, but a number 1 in a row since 2018 its way too much

I know. :/

Their songs aren't even funny, and the sausage roll gimmick gets dry very quickly.

Not really new but yayy!!

nope anti hero 10x better
