Fingers crossed for Doja. UK lowkey becoming the new playground for shameless tactics that Billboard tried to keep in check not too long ago.

Nothing new. remember when songs used to be repressed on iTunes for weeks in order to secure a high debut on the chart only to fall off like 3 weeks later

 

[drivers license]

to be fair vampire has been hovering around 2-3 since it debuted. don’t know why y’all acting like her having a little push to #1 is completely fraudulent. billie & dua had their turns, now it’s liv. doja will get the #1 week anyway.

10 Miley Cyrus - Used to Be Young *

 

Another #11 UK hit for Miley is coming  

[dangerousbutera]

Isn't this vampire's last week before ACR? Probably why her team moved up the date. I love the song and think it makes a deserving #1, just hope Doja gets it afterwards.

 

The way the #1 turnover would be Billie --> Dua --> Olivia --> Doja

This is highkey iconic. The new MPGs having a go at it 

[BGood2Me]

Vampire had a great run between top5, it's a well deserved #1 

 

Doja will be next, so don't worry 

[Luckitty]

vampire spent like 6 weeks at #2 (being blocked by the biggest hit of the year) why are people acting like she's going from #85 to #1

 

and a few weeks ago it was #3 behind 2 songs that sold cassettes, but when she uses the same tactic she's the fraudulent one? 

[Assassin]

Fraudlivia needs to be stopped.

Yeah UK chart has always been manipulated

 

What they're doing now is similar to the past when they sold the CD singles

Well the song has been a huge smash here, so it's not really surprising. The way you've been perched and mad though.  #1 in both the US and the UK.  We love to see it.

the UK remains the superior country the US will never

541k vs 299k in the UK spotify today 

Doja might block olivia. 

[lacy]

Manifesting Liv takes this week, vampire needs ha #1 moment

[drivers license]

kinda embarrassing on liv’s team if Doja still ends up getting it due to strong streams. a reverse g4u vs. gutter experience

The Saturdays having 13 top tens but only 5 of them managed a month in the top twenty.

UK charts *polar opposite last several weeks (nail biting exciting, pop perfection competing & fast turnover in an old school way) vs US charts which have been/continue to be a clogged up by minimal moving Maga messiness!

Yeah only the last day or so (& what happens today) gonna be this like the 3rd week in a row of down to the last dramatic hour! Olivia prob. still squeaks it out but (I think) all about how many physicals she didn't include in Wed. update. Seems obvious her team stockpiled the physicals (so far) pretty effectively. Vampire equally like Billie/Dua were massive the whole summer & fully brought quality and several weeks at #2 & top 5 so def. deserves that 1 week #1.

A pop injustice!!!

[lacy]

My 6 CDs and 11 cassettes shipped earlier today. Olivia is taking that #1 and I'm so here for it.

The Saturdays and Girls Aloud share the same label (Polydor) - who apply these tactics to both bands

 

IIRC many of GA's top-10 singles have the same issues: they have a cute debut but didnt manage to last long on the charts

[lacy]

Is this #1 secure yet? my physical copies came in today
