2 more fantastic singles to add to the 4 releases in the last few weeks. They never miss. Surely we can’t hope for a new album so soon after Imaginal Disk!🙏

I agree with many saying The Fear is their favourite LA song….. those gorgeous synths!

119. ROSALÍA - Berghain (feat. Björk & Yves Tumor) ❤️I'm a massive fan of ROSALÍA and this song but am surprised to see this showing up here as it's pretty much chart poison, very uncommercial. Her impact *.*
I love it when an artist throws absolutely everything at the first new release of an era like this. Think she’s elevating herself to the very top level of boundary pushing artists like Kate Bush, Bjork, Fiona Apple etc. Wonderful stuff and what’s more I suspect it will sound even better in the context of that impending 4 suite album. All that and we haven’t got onto discussing 3 different languages and that Mike Tyson quote…..

I love that she seems to do what she wants, when she wants and how she wants. More flamenco, nah. More dance, nah. More reggaeton, nah. How about an orchestral operatic monster in 3 different languages, ending with a Mike Tyson quote?!!

Also released this week and on streaming, Pale Song/Love Is the second single by Irish singer songwriter Dove Ellis. Wonderful stuff for any Radiohead Jeff Buckley fans, well worth checking out. A future star!

Thanks for the comments guys, interesting reading and what you’re all saying makes a lot of sense.
Firstly, I certainly didn’t mean to ‘put down’ anyone for sticking to what they’re comfortable with, I hope it didn’t come across that way. In fact, if anything, my little autistic brain tends to direct me to repetitive stuff anyway, I think maybe I sometimes try to resist it too much!
Don’t get me wrong, as a chart fan I love to see a massive hit as much as anyone, à la Ordinary, even if I don’t like the song itself. I suppose the ones that surprise me most are the older songs hanging around in the mid to lower charts. Not just Mr Brightside (though I often think I’m the only person who never liked that song, even as a big Killers fan) but also things like Lose Control and Beautiful Things (with no reflection on the merits of the songs themselves). Thanks Julian your explanation makes perfect sense!
I’m sure I’m in the minority, being an old git, but I stream predominately as a way to try out new music before I buy physicals or Bandcamp downloads of the stuff which passes a ‘three-listen test’. That way I feel I’m giving decent payments to the artists as directly as I can. If I had limitless money and could just bulk-buy each week's releases, I'd do so in a heartbeat. For now, my bank balance hates me, but my music lover side is very happy.😂

Here’s what I don’t understand.
With streaming we have pretty much the whole of the history of popular music available to everyone all the time, including far more new music to try than ever before and with no financial risk. What I mean is that in the physical era there was a certain reluctance to try a new artist due to cost of purchasing but that no longer applies.
And yet, I think, most would accept that the charts are slower moving than ever now, with longer stays at number one and especially songs hanging around the top 10/20/40 etc for much longer. That means, despite all this availability, the general public are choosing to listen to the same stuff over and over again week in week out, rather than trying something new. I know it’s slightly off topic, but it is related in a way, with the attempts (ACR, 3 track rule etc) to ‘speed up’ the chart and I genuinely wonder if anyone has any theories why that has happened? The only thing I could come up with was that maybe people find too much choice overwhelming so retreat to what they know and are comfortable with? Anybody got any thoughts?

And now, finally, a new album incoming! Can’t wait, hope it can be massively successful. If it was you that manifested it Brer, I thank you!

Ha, does that tactic work then, nominating every year until it gets some votes!I’ve got a soft spot for Shygirl myself especially ‘Come For me’.
At least it did better than my nomination for 4th Of July which got … precisely no votes aside from mine. Maybe next year …..?

So I’ve still not had one of my nominations come anywhere near the top 40/AQ places even!
If it’s going to happen anytime it should be now….’Wild’ is the best song of the decade IMHO, please try to give it a listen through!

26 minutes ago, jimwatts said: I'd have expected 'APT.' ahead of 'Pink Pony Club', as it's still ahead for 2025 to date and all its weeks in the Top 5 before Christmas would have more than made up for it having no sales until midway through October?
Yes you’re right of course, as I mentioned in the commentary above, PPC is the one I keep overestimating! I’ve never been sure of its ‘trickle’ sales pre 24 and early 24 to be able to remove them from its total… if that makes any sense!🤷♂️

Again, any help with more accurate figures is always welcome. I know you’ve very kindly helped me with the previous ones @gasman449, so if you’ve got the time or inclination to have a look at my numbers again I would be very grateful!😌

40 Sombr - Back To Friends 0.635m
Some things I’ve noticed:-
Alex is now miles ahead as expected and I presume will only go further ahead by the end of 2025?
Below that it is close, though I suspect I might have overestimated Pink Pony Club’s total again due to being unsure of its earliest sales figures.
Overall the chart maybe feels a little fresher than the last one? The Demon Hunters soundtrack should change things up even more very soon.
Any thoughts?

I don't always get time to listen to unknown songs in this rate, but when I do they can often become favourites of my own. Examples from the last few years include Shum, Oh Baby, Wait (M83), Out Of The Woods, Saint Claude and of course Doomscroller which not only got me into that song but into the whole wonderful band that are Metric!
Oh I have to admit I haven’t heard much Metric, so on your recommendation I’m going in for a deep dive! Where do you suggest starting?
