I suppose I should be pleased that after "progressive" being a dirty word for many years, the industry is giving this sort of recognition to it. Still, I find it somewhat oxymoronic to talk of a popularity chart for prorgessive music. Seems contrary to the whole progressive ethos.

Running my eye down the list, I jumped when I saw the graphic next to "4.5" by Steven Wilson. That is NOT the cover of the album! (Which in any case is entitled "4 1/2", not "4.5".) Some very dodgy webpage editing is going on here. I wonder how many people will click on "Buy" to buy the album and wind up ordering "The little 5-Chord Songbook"?

Five albums on this week's Australian Top 50 have covers that feature some kind of quasi-circular design in the centre. What is going on here? Is this the new cover art formula?

I guess it is mate...
ive also noticed of late, the amount of music videos that contain some sort of ballet type movements in slow motion and rolling round on the floor
similar stuff to this(I know this one is not ballet type moves, but youll get the idea of what im talking about:

UK charts over view for 27th May:

singles:

Drake may only be asking for One Dance, but it's a long one – he doesn't show much sign of leaving the dancefloor any time soon.
The Canadian rapper has notched up 92,500 combined chart sales to score an impressive seventh consecutive week at the top, giving him the longest run of 2016 so far.
One Dance also claims the longest straight stint at Number 1 since Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love also enjoyed a seven-week reign atop the Official Singles Chart in autumn 2007.

Drake's One Dance, feat. Wizkid and Kyla, was the most streamed track of the last seven days too, racking up almost 6.68 million plays this week.
Despite a close battle earlier in the week, Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop The Feeling remains at 2, while Calvin Harris and Rihanna's This Is What You Came For (3) and Sia's Cheap Thrills (4) are also non-movers.


No Money, from Swedish electro pop duo Galantis, rises one place to break into the Top 5 for the first time.
[h=4]New entries and high climbers[/h]US singer Gnash makes a big leap – his breakthrough song I Hate U, I Love U zooms 21 places to Number 12 – while Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam advance ten spots to Number 20 with Sex.
Take That score a 27th Top 40 hit thanks to their guest spot on Sigma's Cry, new at Number 21, and Australian trio Cookin’ On 3 Burners team up with French producer Kungs on This Girl, which rockets 62 places to land at Number 29.
Craig David's One More Time is brand new at 30, and following her mesmerising performance at the Billboard Music Awards, Pink's Just Like Fire returns to the Top 40, rising eight to 36.
