American Idiot campaign for UK number one for Trumps arrival

[Withano]

Just found out about this protest, God it makes me feel so patriotic. No doubt the anti-british right wing PC snowflakes will dislike this too.

The charts are made up of 3 parts

Sales
Streaming
YouTube

Streaming usually sends the song to #1 but on some occasions sales take a song to #1

[Kazanne]

Greenday, really ? how embarrassing for them, are they that short of inspiration and material,I always though they were a serious band.sounds a bit desperate to be relevant and get in the charts.

right wing snowflakes are short on sense of humour
besides they're far too busy burrowing deeper up Trump's arse
tbh didn't expect that Trump's visit will be so much fun :hehe:
he should come here more often

They didn’t organise it. The song was made about politicians stupidity during the Iraq war though, so I’m sure they’re fine with it being used in this context.

So it wasn't solely wrote for Trump then ? thanks ,I didn't know that .

[Vicky.]

Proper laughing at this guy going off it on my facebook feed. Hes one of these who are basically like 'we should be able to be racist twats, free speech! Up Tommy Robinson!' and so on. But he is so upset about Trump getting any criticism, its bloody hilarious. Apparently this song should be removed from sales, streaming sites and everything until after Trumps visit as its 'disrespectful' :D

3 lions are selling way ahead of George Ezra now and with it being #1 on YT it will hopefully be #1

All though they set up a rule last week to prevent it happening

Eh..who is 'they' and do the 'rules' really get changed now if 'they' do not like whichever song is looking to be number 1? :suspect:

Although

So basically streaming is 150= 1 song but if the song has starting selling less physical copies by weak 10 that doubles.

But last week with the introduction of YT to the charts they decided that Song which are older then 3 years can not come off ACR which is 300 steams = 1 song which with streaming basically having a major hold on the chart it would need to be topping streaming and sales


Right now i think George Ezra will get a 3rd week at #1 depending on the amount of sales on 3 Lions

[Denver]

But yea Vicky they like to dictate songs which do well and hate Xmas songs taking up the charts so also want to stop old Xmas songs entering

[LaLaLand]

Can we release a remix "English Incompetent Useless Twat" for Sadiq Khan and have a chart race?

Thanks Adam.

Makes me feel very very old when I don't even understand how the bloody charts work anymore :laugh:

It's so incompetently ran and overly complicated I don't think anybody can properly understand it. Especially when the rules change depending on what they deem "acceptable" to enter the charts.

[Smithy]

Basically streaming has ruined the charts and that’s that on that

[Denver]

Basically streaming has ruined the charts and that’s that on that

Ive been saying this for a year or 2

It takes away the credibility if you ask me

[Denver]

Though we need to be thankful George Ezra stopped Drake going to #1

[Vicky.]

Hmm but before streaming was included, people moaned that the charts being on sales was silly as everyone just streams these days :suspect:

Seems whatever happened though, it should be consistent, which it doesn't sound like it is

[Niamh.]

I've heard of the band ,just not the song,I thought they had recorded it especially for Trumps visit [emoji23]Well they're American themselves so I doubt they'd write a song just for the UK visit [emoji12]

Well that was only really from 2014 onwards, the chart was originally a sales chart, now it’s a popularity chart that doesn’t really reflect what’s popular, because artists have bought places on the most popular streaming playlists

Imo the best way for streaming to be included is if it’s only a song that someone has searched for and played as apposed to it being on a playlist of popular songs

i said he would win - i won
