There was no physical single of Hold Me Closer until now and the one that they did release is exclusive to the UK and releasing on November 18th. They did release a digital single though on Elton's website.

Oh that was it! I knew they had releasing something, didn't know it was just digital.

[Ger]

Those streams for Unholy are too high imo. Nevertheless, song is having very big success.

It would be nice if they dropped the extended, acapella, and PNAU remixes of Hold Me Closer to give it new life.

[Jude]

If they don't do something to hit that #1 then their team is officially dumb.

[Capruni]

So If “Unholy” manages to sell about 25K it could debut at #1, right?

Unholy needs to sneak by and give Sam his well belated #1 hit in the US. BH can wait one more week 

[Reverse Warholian]

Unholy ?

[pride4jc1222]

At this point, I think it is a 2-horse race for the #1 spot between Bad Habit and Unholy, with Unholy's sales figure being the variable that determines the #1 race.

jesus finally, Sign of the Times deserved the success As It Was got tbh… i love Bad Habit, it’s a fantastic pop song

Honestly, I agree.. it's too bad SOTT didn't reach the same level of success, but at least it peaked in the top ten?

 

As for Bad Habit, it's top tier and sounds so fresh on pop radio. I'm so happy for Steve achieving his first #1!

[Great808]

BMS really is the most frontloaded #1 in a looooong time  it’s not even giving smash hit let alone hit lmaooooooo. All that payola for this ******* mess fgdfhhggddd

[IBeMe]

Unholy is such an INSTANT bop. It's for sure aimed at tiktokers and young teens and early twenty crowd which is surprising considering both Kim and Sam are in their 30s. You wouldnt expect them (especially Sam) to deliver something like this and for it to connect so quickly. Happy for them!

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Can someone explain why Bieber's songs are "OUT" ?

 

Glad to see Hold Me Closer being so stable

They will go recurrent

 

Ghost has 52 weeks on the chart

Stay has 63 weeks and it will leave the top 25 (a song with more than 52 weeks will go recurrent if it leaves the top 25)

How can you ignore a colossal run for a song that was a supposed huge comeback single for someone? It’s hilarious watching it’s positions every week especially because the hive made everyone believe it was a huge hit for her.

Aren't you a Lady Gaga stan? the joke. 

 

BUT if hitting #1 for two weeks and being in the top 10 for 10 weeks (a feat that she also managed to achieve this decade with Savage Remix)  is a "colossal" run then that's bad news for most female artists not named Adele, Doja, Cardi or Olivia. 

[pride4jc1222]

Consecutive weeks charting streaks in danger of being snapped this tracking week:

 

112 Lil Durk
105 Justin Bieber
100 The Kid LAROI

 

If Stay goes recurrent, Justin and LAROI’s streaks are done. Lil Duel’s streak will come to an end if Hot Ish falls off.

When do you ever see me post in Gaga base? Anyways most of those weeks were clearly thanks to airplay, it decreased and coincidentally it was reflected on the Hot 100 because it was it’s main metric. Radio payola’d frontloaded shoved down peoples throats mess it is

Yeah sure “payola” when she only got one station to put her on power rotation and never cracked the top 5 in Pop. Take a seat for Cuff It’s chart run because you’re certainly gonna be PRESSED.

cmon Bad Habit  

[pride4jc1222]

How many more weeks will the Early Predictions thread be derailed due to the discussion of Break My Soul’s charting run?

 

And notice how this is only done in the Early Predictions.

[Arrows]

I’m glad the lifeless, horrible, ME!-level As It Was is finally getting dethroned.

[TrieLz]

I don’t care who takes the #1, I need a new number one.

it’s enough for AIW
