Massive debut for Ariana, which I guess puts paid to any chance of Soph nabbing an overdue number one. Oh well.

She’s still over 20k behind Noah, so she hasn’t really been within reach anyway. If by some chance she continues to rise, she wouldn‘t be at that level for a couple of weeks
 
will these physical CD's have much impact? Wasn't Liam Gallagher so high due to a physical single? There seems enough fan interest that the physical single could do well?

I'm seeing her 166k+ behind Noah Kahan. The general pattern does seem to be that she's closing the lead slowly, but not at a rate to topple him (unless he hits ACR before her, at least). And before considering anyone else.
 
I think Billie did about 10k, and Dua, Olivia etc must’ve managed a few thousand on their release weeks that caused them to grab #1. So she might be able to shift a few thousand?

I don’t think she has that much of a fan base like Kylie say does and can thus rely on it being a huge number though.
 
I don't really follow how streaming stats work generally. Ariana is about 28k ahead of Noah, but would we usually expect her streaming figures to fall on day 2, and then stabilise before growing if it's taking off? 28k is the much of a lead when it's converted to sales, unless she builds on it.

Sorry, I mean 20k in units for the whole week. He did 65k and she did 42k or something similar.

Ariana is also behind both Noah and Sophie on Apple. Seeing tomorrow figures should give a bit more clarity but it still could go either way for Ariana. If she holds strong she should grab #1 thanks to also having a physical, but if she has a day two dip then I can see Noah grabbing it back by next Fridays chart.

I see. And that's based on him maintaining a lead over her across the week of around 200k daily.

I'm assuming Amazon, Apple etc are similar, as I believe it's been consistently him at #1 and her at #2 on other platforms over the last few days.
 
She is very popular in Glasgow. @COB @octophone @ZenGiraffe to confirm.

I hope / wonder if this might be enough to solidify Murder as one of those "perennials" that will now stream well forever and always be charting at #137 week in week out

Maybe wishful thinking but it would keep Madam in enough money to keep farting out a HANA every couple of years
 
My friends were talking about this song last night, which I was disproportionally thrilled about
 
I'm still very much taken with the idea of BBC One giving her the New Year's Eve countdown to midnight gig :disco:

That would be a great gig!

I'd go

Before Midnight:

Take Me Home
Get Over You
Crying at the Discoteque (Potentially bring out Years&Years/Rick Astley if management insist/ Jessie Ware)
Murder on the Dance Floor up to midnight

After Midnight

Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer
Not Giving Up on Love
Groovejet

I'll whatsapp Peter loraine . She must be on his books!
 
#3 in the mids and almost guaranteed to finish there this week. but if Ariana continues losing streams (she's #3 on Spotify today) Sophie should go top 2 again next week.

Noah 658k
Soph 527k
Ariana 488k
