Something I never thought would happen has happened this first quarter of the year for my Top of the Pops posts. Every week so far has had enough eligible records to fill the show.
The first week of the year had 21 eligible records but these were all Christmas records except for Ed Sheeran. It did seem inevitable that these Christmas records would leave the charts the following week and that enough records would fill those places to have a complete show. What I didn't expect was the 8 new entries in the following week which meant the record which entered at number 40 never appeared on the show at all.
Since then the only records which haven't featured have either been from duplicate artists or not on YouTube, or in the case of Drake both these reasons.
What hasn't come as a surprise is that the number one records so far this year have either featured Ed Sheeran or Drake. It seems only a matter of time before a record by every man and his dog featuring Justin Bieber reaches the top spot.
