Official Singles Chart Top 40 on 04/8/2023

hey what's up mates...i totally forgot the new chart will update tomorrow...well here in southern arizona it is HOT!  yikes!  i'll come up with a new top 10 next wk on my next day off tues.  have a great weekend everyone & let me know how the weather is in your area ;)

This may well be the last time i will comment. There are one or 2 people here who have bullied and ostracized me from the start. I have been listening to this charts for more than 20 years, so it's a shame people can't accept me into the community. The problem is, most people here are kids who can't take a difference of opinion and get all wound up about it, to the point where they start projecting and name calling. I will still listen to the charts, but i want the people who are responsible to understand their words can have consequence, people can have all kinds of issues going on in their lives and a little bullying and name calling, while not a big issue to most, can have a dire effect on someone. I know i have offended the odd person here and for that i am sorry, but remember, offense is taken, not given. If you have a difference of opinion, simply disagree and move on, there is no need for toxicity. You wouldn't act like that in person, don't do it online. To those who have been nice and mature about in their replies, thank you, to those who haven't, i will not give you a second thought, instead i will leave it in the hands of the chart show to deal with. I will repost this on friday, as my final post to say farewell to those who give a c**p

everyones hating on me downvoting me for saying sprinter is bad ow can you downvote me? its been no.1 for the past 9 weeks guys! how do you still want it there

hey what's up mates!  how's everyone's wk going?  well on the billboard hot 100, quite a few country acts dominating the top 10, esp. the top 5.  takes me back to when shania twain's 'you're still the one' would be locked @ #2 spot for about 9 wks. straight.  first time i ever heard of her & she was already this huge country artist.  

here's my top 10 for now:

1. buddy holly/that'll be the day

2.  the mamas & papas/california dreamin'

3. ed sheeran/shivers

4. sam hunt/body like a back road

5. britney/drop dead beautiful

6. the pointer sisters/jump (for my love)

7. creed/arms wide open

8. justin timberlake/nothin' else

9. johnny hates jazz/shattered dreams

10.  madonna/future lovers

also, i highly recommend you all check out buddy holly's & the mamas & papa's music.  buddy holly passed away in 1959 BUT, he was a rock & roll innovator and a huge influence on future artists like the beatles & elton john.  john & paul once went to a buddy holly concert in london or liverpool *can't recall the city* when they both were teenagers.  his song 'that'll be the day' is a perfect example of putting guitar licks in a song that would be standard for the beatles & rolling stones.  

also the mamas & the papas are an iconic group from the psychadellic era and like a hippie version of abba.  they're the act in my icon pic.  check out 'monday, monday', 'straight shooter' and 'california dreamin'.

this weeks top 10 is horrible especially sprinter LOSE SPRINTER NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT 

whos gunna? whered he come from weeks ago never heard of him

for next week do you think david guetta and bebe rexhas new dance track one in a million could be a possible no.1 contender?

If 'Sprinter' gains next week, chances are that it wont go on ACR for another three weeks! Hope they can do it. With Billie getting stronger than ever too

'Sprinter' being 1 of the singles to have the most weeks at number 1 is great to see.

Chart Review 04/08/2023

Who needs No.52? The OCC sure don't. Anyways, welcome to the chart where for the first time in a few weeks, ahem...

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

Except the fact that SOME stuff has happened, but that kinda messes with the script a little. Anyways, Sprinter is at the top for 9 weeks now and I would officially like to stop existing, thank you. Seriously, just go on ACR already and leave us all alone. Unless you're Ed Sheeran, you physically can't just go on a limb and not be challenged at all. Give somebody else a go, for my sanity's sake.

I could just copy and paste what I said about the Barbie tracks last week, because they ain't going away. O-Rod suffers from not being on the soundtrack and tumbles to 5 (discuss), whilst Billie, Dua, Nicki and Spice all trudge up a spot to leave us all with a mental dilemma. Which one will top the charts in upcoming weeks. Probably Ms. Eilish, 'cause she's streaming champ. I would prefer it if Dua Lipa took top spot instead though.

Charli XCX, meanwhile, can officially start celebrating with her mates as Speed Drive motors (geddit?) up to 9th position. Great for you, but not for me. I'm probably one of the few people on planet Earth not to have seen the Barbie movie, which, given it's an actually GREAT movie, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I also have to edit what I said about I'm Just Ken last week as well, as I should've commented on the fact it sounds like every 80s power ballad ever, rather than, say, every 90s power ballad ever. But that's just me, I'spose.

In other news, everybody hates Travis Scott, but given he has a No.1 album this week, I assume that means everyone outside his fanbase. Which is huge. UTOPIA slams its way to the summit to give him a first chart-topping collection, and I am somewhat relieved that it didn't go to Anne-Marie in the end. Turns out posing like a pig on your album cover doesn't get you places. Who would've figured. Post Malone is at No.3, and that is that. For the album chart.

In the singles chart, Travis Scott now has another Top 10 hit, in the form of MELTDOWN, which is generic rap, has Drake on it, so you knew it would be successful, and hasn't tipped into oblivion like the other tracks on the album. Doesn't means it's good (5/10). This is followed by FE!N at 13 (5.1/10), and HYAENA at 21 (7/10), which deserves its high rating because it doesn't really 'sound' like Travis Scott. But then again, this is the guy who made SICKO MODE. So who am I complaining.

Down at 18, we ask the following question. Can Calvin Harris make a derivative record? The jury is still out on that one, suffice to say that Desire is new in the Top 20 this week, features Sam Smith, who appeared on Promises, so you knew it'd do well, and sounds a bit too much like Miracle for comfort. Heck, even the lyrics seem a little similar. Or maybe that's just my cynisism of dance music seeping through. I really can't tell.

Stormzy & RAYE fall 11 places, so clearly The Weekend could've done with a bit more work, Kylie is on ACR now, so that , and Chemical seeps its way back into the 40 because, erm, Post Malone wanted it to? Just a thought. Drake & Central Cee clatter their way to 26 with the snappily titled On The Radar Freestyle (5/10), which is so boring I can't be bothered talking about it. This is the 2nd time a CC freestyle has barged its way onto Radio 1's show, following LA Leakers Freestyle back in September. Jealous? I'm not.

In other news, Sinead's most famous hit sneaks up 15 to reach the 40, although given she's been absent from the Earth committee for a couple weeks now, her chances may be limited. And at 31, a relic of the early-2010s era of dance music strikes back, in the form of Chase & Status, best known for their Top 5 demolishers, Blind Faith, and Lost & Not Found. Their new hit, Baddadan, involves them grabbing Bou, Flowdan, and every dang MC in Britain for what is, in the grand scheme of things, just an average song (5/10).

Also in the charts this week, Burna Boy and Arrdee have had better days, as Big 7 and One Direction both get caught out by the cynical public, and miss out on the Top 40. Down at 65, a first chart hit for Issey Cross, who popped on Wilkinson's Used To This last year, and will be lucky to come up with ANY original ideas by the end of the year. But to conclude on a high note, I must congratulate Aphex Twin for reaching No.79 with Blackbox Life Recorder 21f. It's his first chart hit for 24 years, and as a fan of SOME of his work, I was really hoping he could deliver on his Top 40 placement in the midweeks. Naturally, this hasn't happened, but I'm glad he's here. Imagine if he was No.1. The whole world would probably cave in.

And that is that. Ta ta, and close the door on your way out.

(P.S. During my research, the only Top 40 hit I can think of that isn't listed on this website is Bad by David Guetta. Released in 2014, it peaked at No.23. But it seems the OCC hate that song, so yeah. Oh, and No.52 is Enough Is Enough from Post Malone's new album. There ya go.)

Rave Out top 75 and Bittersweet Goodbye getting a decently high debut are amazing to see! Hopefully both can go top 40 soon :)

good to see Chemical back in the top 40, however I wish Enough Is Enough was able to get there as it was my favourite from the album

does anyone know what no 52 is ?

I want to give my 2 cents; i can't understand why people post their personal charts here, like, who cares, what purpose does it have, are people just egocentric or is there another reason. This is rhetorical btw. 

I'm surprised Jason Derulo's new song didn't chart, whatever happened to him, he used to be so popular

Sad to see Olivia dropping, i was hoping sh'ed get to the top at some point.

On a different note, i'm surprised Sam + Calvin didn't chart higher, my guess is because of the bad press Sam Smith has been getting of late, which is a shame as it doesn't relate to his music.

#52 is 'Enough Is Enough' by Post Malone. 

After spending all this effort to revamp the charts' look they still managed to NOT print position 52. :(

‘The Weekend’ is heading the wrong direction. :/

Oh well, at least it survived another week in the Top 40, and second week drops like this aren’t uncommon. Hopefully it can rebound a lot in the weeks ahead! 🤞

Very happy to see ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ move into the Top 40.

Even if Sinéad’s passing is incredibly sad news, it’s at least good to see her getting a ton of tributes! ❤️

Delighted to see Billie in the runner-up position!

I unfortunately don’t think ‘What Was I Made For?’ is going all the way to the top, but I’m still ecstatic that it’s doing this well. 

Also congratulations to Charli on her first solo Top 10 hit in nine years! 😁
