Mini Review (JADE - #ThatsShowbizBaby)

JADE’s debut album is a triumph, blending the familiar pieces with her newest content to make a hip-swaying album. With varied tones and great production value, this ultimately offers up a very satisfying listen.

Spotify UK Number One (10 - 16 October):

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ spends a second week in the top spot as it picks up a further 5.92 million streams in its second week of release. Will it make it to three? #TheLifeOfAShowgirl

Yes, it seems shows are regularly building up greater audiences that surpass that of linear TV. I do wonder if it’s just how things are measured impacting it or whether linear TV needs to do more to compete?

Official 28-Day Report (25 - 31 Aug):
#ThursdayMurderClub builds up to almost 10 million viewers from its launch week as numerous Netflix programmes enter our top 10. #IFoughtTheLaw topples all BBC One showings for ITV.

Official Top 10 (22 - 28 Sep):
The BARB data is in and the first live show of #Strictly pulled in almost 7.7 million viewers, up almost 1m on the launch show. #NineBodies opened with 3.38 million viewers.

Official Top Show (22 - 28 Sep):
The first live show of #Strictly brought in 7.69 million viewers, BARB data reveals. This is down just over 400k on last year’s equivalent, but remains well above the vast majority of TV across the year.

UK Spotify Number ONE (3 - 9 Oct):

#TaylorSwift dominates as ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ brings in a huge audience in its first week with 8.92 MILLION streams. 9 of this week’s top 10 went to #TheLifeOfAShowgirl.

Top 10 Ranking (08-14 Sep):
#IFoughtTheLaw builds its audience as it edges towards the 5m mark, official 7-day data reveals. #ColdWater launched with 3.9 million viewers and #TheGuest gains 230k on last week.

Number One Show (8-14 Sep):
#GBBO maintains its top placement as it bakes up an audience of 7.05 million for its second instalment, slipping just 210k on the launch. Can it maintain its major lead on its competition?

Channel 4 & 5 Top 10 (15-21 Sep):
#GBBO leads with a healthy 5.56 million (this being without platform viewers which could add well over 1m) as C4 dominates the top end of the chart. #TrafficCops is 5’s best offering.

Overnight Number One (15 - 21 Sep):

The #Strictly launch show pulled in the big numbers. With 5.36 million, the show remains pretty much on par with last year, but how will the live shows fair?!

Top 10 Ranking (01-07 Sep):
#BakeOff returns on top form, sitting well ahead on anything else on offer. The soaps battle it out as #Corrie’s peak audience sits just 30k ahead of #Emmerdale. Could the tides turn?

28-Day Report (4-10 Aug):
The chart has a few changes from the 7-day numbers, but #Wednesday maintains a strong position either way, gaining 2.24m to finalise at 6.76 million after 28-days of availability. Netflix holds the top two spots also as #KpopDemomHunters sits in 2nd.

The Official Top Show (01-07 Sep):
After a week of catch-up and repeat reach, #GBBO launched with a delicious 7.26 million viewers; this puts it up on last year. Have you been watching?
