Official Singles Chart Update on 28/1/2019

Overall the chart is very bad iand very disappointed. 2018 was also a disaster. In 2017 it was a bit better with Ed sheeran, Camilla Cabello, but this year so far and last year is a shame. It was much better in 2013/2014 and even better from 1987 till 1994. (that was the best era for music.) But this year and last year was extremely terrible and with Streaming bringing a lot of garbage urban hip hop closer to the top, it starts getting unacceptable.
I have been following the UK charts continously, each week from 1987 (my teen years), and i have continued through my 40s and 50s , but now i start really giving up losing any interest...

And the German , US charts are even worse, so the only charts that is a bit better and still worth at least to read/listen is the UK, the US / German charts are simply dead.

And it is not that i am getting old. Simply (even if looking back a few years when music was better) , today the music writers/producers just dont have a feel/inspiration/will, to create good music.
If i were too old for new days pop, i wouldn't have liked Daft Punk , Blurred Lines Hozer - Take me to church a few years ago. Or Little mix - Black magic was also good, but anything comes out is a total disappointment nowdays. (just look at Little mix's lead single last year, very boring, generic..) Terrible. I hope that this year finally will have some good releases.

I would agree that 2013-14 were among the better years of the decade, as was 2017, although I'd argue 2016 was worse than 2018, since we at least had acts like Dua Lipa & Mabel in the latter.
I've honestly got no complaints about 2019 so far, particularly with the #1s we've had, even if it has been literally Ariana Grande & Ava Max since like November (if you exclude the Christmas #1).
