I was thinking the same thing  what in the 2014?!

 

Taylor dominating like that tho  didn’t even think she’d get the #1 in UK when we realized there wouldn’t be a pre-release single, now she’s going for 5 weeks and maybe more

[Forevermore.]

If Meghan becomes the threat to Taylor's stay at #1 AGAIN

[Virgos Groove]

That Meghan song in the top-3 What is it with British people becoming ultra-tasteless during the holidays?

Except back then Sam’s song was actually good

[littlebodybigheart]

anti-hero is such a smash hit

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Taylor winning

[Clauss]

And some years ago many would complain how she would not have a #1, and now we have a 5 consecutive week #1, which is quite uncommon in the UK

[Michael196]

this is unholy's 9th week, which means that next week will be it last before streams get cut in half, right?

[Protocol]

Horrible Top 20, "Anti Hero" is basically the only good song here and it's by an American artist

 

The UK industry is truly in shambles, totally unable to launch new stars, God awful music, all these acts who should've been has beens by now hanging on because nothing new exciting is coming up

 

What a shame for what was once the most exciting country for new music from the 60s to the 90s.
