[Renan90]

AIW biggest hit of the year there for sure 

 

Kendrick will step too far if he manages to debut the 3 songs in the top 10 

 

MCR won't make an ugly debut either 

 

And shocked that Go can reach #2, I just don't think it can reach #1 because Harry is still pretty strong there

[RainDreamer]

Technically Kendrick can't have more than 3 songs charting as per UK chart rules, so it's not that shocking. 

[Into The Void]

Was hoping that was Nick Jonas's Spaceman cause it was robbed!  

[storminthedark]

Go has a ton of remixes so that's probably why it's so high, I think Lizzo will probably edge out the Kendrick tracks by the end of the week.

 

The Brits might as well engrave Best British Single now for AIW

[IBeMe]

is there any campaign to get any of the Little Mix songs to #1 as a farewell gesture? 

"Between Us" perhaps? 

[Polgg48]

• that eurovision song will be on top 5 maybe top 3

EDIT: Holy **** topping harry on wednesday update, its over, grats  

 

• exact three tracks that should be charting, most potential commercial out of that album
• drill "in for the kill" song low key good track despite how messy it is

special note, dear ed, if your title named after a genre, please be respectful and use that beat on the song not generic trap beat

for example,
