DTN already dropping hard thanks to the ACR rule, I hate it here 

It wouldn’t have been #1 last week if it wasn’t for ACR though.

 

Doja

I mean MIRACLE would have been top 5 for many more weeks but because of that stupid rule it dropped so I'm glad the same thing happened to Sprinter.

[Dialamba]

Olivia getting blocked again. 
Doja first number one with a solo rap track 

[Yog]

Desire 

 

[Revel]

OOOH, DOJA IS TAKING THAT UK #1  !!!

[dumbsparce]

Wasn't Dua #1 last week? What happened?

[Green]

It would be the second female rap song to reach #1 after WAP

internet says it had 8 weeks #1 uk, but only 20 days topping spotify (3 weeks).

so that seems mighty generous of the chart gods. 5 more on top of overall than spotify. 

 

meanwhile sprinter's topped spotify for 85 days (12 weeks). 2 more on top of spotify than overall.

Finally, about damn time

ACR:  If the streams for a song have been decreasing for 3 consecutive weeks, they get halved. This happens when a song has been in the UK Charts for over 10 weeks.

Olivia's longevity

[Ivan_brit]

Uk Charts looking good this last weeks  US keep getting worse with all those country local songs 

 

 

Dua is on her 14th week so that’s fine… watch her snatch Year end charts

[ttds]

could vampire reach #1 in guts’ release week? i think ACR will kick in next week, but if it rises significantly in it’s 11th (guts’ week) the song will be pulled out from ACR, right?

UK chart rules force songs down the chart the older they get typically, it usually has a pretty dramatic effect on songs when the rules kick in

Thanks, I never knew about this. So Dua's song might still be the most popular/consumed song in the country if we go by numbers but bc it has been decreasing consistently it ended up at a random position?

vampire getting blocked again, and ACR rule incoming soon..

Yes but it isn't, it's Sprinter and it would have blocked her last week.

A mess 

[ForgottenSoul]

Vampire doing so well in the UK 

[Gossip_Boy]

Nanana coming for a repeak and Prada nearing top 10. Okay, mothers.

[Fitzswiftie]

Chase and Status having two top tens at the same time is wild.
 

Good for them.
