The Price Of Milk: South Goes Top
In music this week, the UK firmly rejected the Glass Animals-Encanto axis to give Dave's 'Starlight' a South London number 1, while South Wales got a chart-topper in the form of the Stereophonics' latest album 'Oochya'. Elsewhere, the song remained much the same across many of the charts, with films like The Batman and books like Red-Handed by Peter Schweizer holding onto to their leading places. On Netflix though, Pieces Of Her (in TV) and The Adam Project (in Movies) both delivered remarkably consistent viewing, each being the most watched in the UK, the US, Australia, and globally.

?? Wait, WTF is this?
If this is your first time here... I recently realised I didn't know what was "Number 1", not in music, streaming, film, anything really. I also realised it's really time-consuming to find out, so I pulled together some (pretty lo-fi) tech that compiles the top-ranking bits of content from charts around the world - the most popular, the highest selling, the most played, and the most binge-watched pieces of the zeitgeist. It's called?The Price Of Milk?in honour of all those politicians who got called out on TV for not knowing what everyday things cost, and I'm using it as a cultural crib sheet each week, a quick check-in on what's popular around the world. If you think it's useful, you can sign up to this as a weekly newsletter - none of my dumb opinions, just what's topping charts based on published data. No spam, no selling, not ever, I promise.
