January 1, 20178 yr If Avicii goes tropical with a reasonably big name I can see that being a big #1!
January 1, 20178 yr The very last thing we need is Ed Sheeran domination. Pink will finally release her new album. It'll sell ok but nowhere near what she was selling 5 years ago. The singles may sell consistently but they won't get high peaks.
January 1, 20178 yr Don't forget Dua Lipa. We didn't :angel: I don't think Dua Lipa will be a 'thing' in 2017.
January 1, 20178 yr We didn't :angel: I don't think Dua Lipa will be a 'thing' in 2017. She will get a 11-48-97 chart run for her album. Anyway 2017 is all going to be about Steps returning with a new album :kink:
January 1, 20178 yr Why do you people think Drake will have a quiet year... he's releasing an album/playlist/mixtape whatever that's called early this year and he's f***ing J Lo Edited January 1, 20178 yr by SKOB
January 2, 20178 yr Author Yeah, Ed Sheeran is bound to have a massive #1 with his new single. Pretty sure the Major Lazer track will also get a couple of weeks at the top of the chart too, from the previews that sounds MASSIVE so that could get a few weeks after Ed's track has died down! Going for Avicii to have a massive year next year, probably with a big collaboration, plus I reckon twenty one pilots will have a top 10 debut with their album lead. JP Cooper could also be big, and I'm predicting that tropical house will die out and we'll have a new generic trend debuted by a dance producer which becomes popular by Autumn. My guess is that the next big dance trend will be 00s inspired, we have had the 90s influenced dance trend for a long time. My guess is that trance may return, as there is a lot of nostalgia for that around, but there haven't been many reasonably popular trance songs out recently. However there seem to have been quite a few quite a few uplifting early/mid 00s type house tracks recently, like Would I Lie to You, Trouble, Moneymaker, Burning, Good Life, Wings (Spinnin Records particularly have been releasing quite a few funky uplifting house tracks recently :dance: ) so this sort of thing does seem more likely to return first to chart success, then maybe trance after it. Maybe I could be wrong though, and the underground and nighttime radio success of a quite trancey house song, Grey by Kolsch could precede the return of trance, like Julio Bashmore's Au Seve preceded the deep house trend. As for UK garage, we have had quite a bit of a revival already in 2013 and 2014 with Shift K3y, Gorgon City and Disclosure (albeit the last two mixed with deep house) and in 2015 with When the Bassline Drops, so it seems unlikely we will have one again. Craig David will hopefully go back to producing 2 step garage again though or bassline garage. However I do think by the end of 2017 we will have less EDM in the charts (as most of the chart has been EDM influenced this year). We will have more urban and singer songwriter hits like from the aforementioned Ed Sheeran, the next Rag n Bone Man single, the aforementioned likely return of Sam Smith, George Ezra etc. Plus Twenty One Pilots will have a big year too of course.

January 2, 20178 yr Author If Avicii goes tropical with a reasonably big name I can see that being a big #1! I don't think Avicii will go tropical given that tropical house is now a sinking ship (will it even last to mid year in the charts?). He could go future bass though, but my guess is that he will stay progressive but go for a more chilled style, like Alan Walker's Faded. Edited January 2, 20178 yr by The Snake
January 2, 20178 yr We have Drake/JLo single coming soon, Clean Bandit/Zara collab, another Zara single. So many big releases!!
January 2, 20178 yr Author We have Drake/JLo single coming soon, Clean Bandit/Zara collab, another Zara single. So many big releases!! Hi SameBoy welcome to Buzzjack are you T Boy's brother or any relation? :lol: Clean bandit and Zara has that been confirmed....I guess it makes sense though....that would be a multiple week number 1.
January 3, 20178 yr Surely 2017 is the year for Katy Perry and Leona Lewis comebacks. So will this be Leona's third or fourth failed comeback? Maybe she can team up with Fleur East
January 6, 20178 yr wow at least no one mentions lady gaga anymore looks like people got sober after Christmas - good
January 11, 20178 yr Only just getting round to this for this year... always interesting to look back and see how right/wrong we got it! I'm thinking... First off, this year will be ED SHEERAN YEAR - Ed will headline Glastonbury - Ed will have the number 1 single for at least 10 weeks (although not necessarily consecutive) - Ed will have the number 1 album for at least 16 weeks (again, not necessarily consecutive) - Ed will break some sort of streaming record with his album Other predictions: - Matt Terry's debut single will flop massively - Liam Payne will have a hit - Harry Styles will have a hit - Nicki Minaj will get a #1 - George Ezra will come back to great success - Sam Smith WON'T come back as many have expected him to - he'll wait til 2018 - Katy Perry will return with a huge song, kicking off another huge era - Calvin Harris will release a #1 album with huge stars featuring - Taylor Swift will release a #1 album - Beyonce will clean up at the Grammys - Little Mix will win a BRIT award - Fifth Harmony's first single without Camila will do very well - Anne-Marie will get a top 5 single - Zara Larsson's album won't be released until the second half of the year - Honey G will be dropped by Syco by April - Lorde will have a huge year
January 12, 20178 yr Someone remind me to fill this all in at the end of the year: * (SONG 1) will sell/stream absolutely tons, becoming one of the biggest sellers of all-time and become unescapable across the entire country for half the year, despite being a really bland, generic bit of commercial pop/rock/R&B/dance nonsense which completely fails to sound in any way different to all the other dross around. * (SONG 2) will be much better, be a massive hit all over Europe and genuinely sound pretty awesome, but completely fail to do well in the UK for various dumb reasons and join the line of top-class Eurohits that the UK turns its nose up at. * (SONG 3) will be the long-awaited return of an artist who used to be cool, perhaps brilliant, but this new song is by far the worst they've ever done and sounds all the world like a desperate attempt to get an easy radio hit, completely abandoning any credibility they used to have and selling out to the masses. Inevitably, it's their highest charting and biggest-selling hit by a country mile. * (SONG 4) gets everything right - excellent talented artist, fabulous song, genuinely groundbreaking and hugely critically acclaimed, but goes on to do absolutely nothing in the charts and becomes a forgotten classic only remembered by people who post on music-based internet forums, at least until it gets rediscovered in about twenty years time. Sad inevitability that said artist will eventually come back in a few years with something sounding like Song 3 above. * Finally, (SONG 5) will be a legacy act from the past who releases a blinder of a song, one right up there with the the best of their eighties/nineties/noughties heyday, but the public stare in bafflement at this weird old man/woman/group who they've never heard of and it misses the top 100, despite peaking at #1 on the Physical Singles Chart with a whopping twelve copies sold. Old people shake their heads and complain about the youth of today. Determined to find examples for all of these between now and December!

Old people shake their heads and complain about the youth of today. Determined to find examples for all of these between now and December! Great post! What would everyone's examples of these be? What struck me at first was: 1) One Dance, of course. To a lesser extent, Love Yourself 2) Bonbon 3) Ellie Goulding's Burn 4) Pink's Try 5) Madonna - I would say Living For Love, but Ghost Town probably fits that better
January 12, 20178 yr So from what I can gather from this thread, The Chainsmokers have officially ruined music. Great.
