December 30, 20213 yr Author Some charity single released on the back of the platinum jubilee is a very good shout, almost can't see that not happening now you've mentioned it (unless the jubilee doesn't that is). The Kunts are doing one about Prince Andrew! :lol:
December 30, 20213 yr The Kunts are doing one about Prince Andrew! :lol: Oh lord :lol: Maybe it will challenge for #1 in a Sex Pistols throwback!
December 30, 20213 yr Author Oh lord :lol: Maybe it will challenge for #1 in a Sex Pistols throwback! Indeed! Kunt said in his livestream the other day that they’re going to be ‘prepared well ahead of time’ (or something along those lines), so I’m hoping for a big pre-order campaign!
December 30, 20213 yr Indeed! Kunt said in his livestream the other day that they’re going to be ‘prepared well ahead of time’ (or something along those lines), so I’m hoping for a big pre-order campaign! Going after a nonce* should theoretically get them even more support than going after the PM. :lol: *suspected nonce, don't sue me for libel oops :kink:
December 30, 20213 yr Some charity single released on the back of the platinum jubilee is a very good shout, almost can't see that not happening now you've mentioned it (unless the jubilee doesn't that is). Did not Gary Barlow release a single 10 years ago for this same reason? I can’t recall how it went now but I think it was a ballad.
December 30, 20213 yr Did not Gary Barlow release a single 10 years ago for this same reason? I can’t recall how it went now but I think it was a ballad. Yeah it was called Sing and went to #1. It was officially credited to Gary Barlow, The Commonwealth Band & The Military Wives. If you asked 100 members of the public to tell you how it goes I doubt you'd get many results... :lol:
December 30, 20213 yr Taylor will re-record and re-release 1989 first then Speak Now. Depending on the time of year both albums are released, she’ll score another two #1 albums. Eeek … please don’t come for me for posting this :lol: Personally I would say the other way round I can only see speak now going number 1 if she releases earlier in the year alas Fearless, if she doing a big Q4 release again personally only see 1989 being strong enough for a Q4 number 1 (unless we don't have anything on a abba/adele/Ed level :lol: ) Edited December 30, 20213 yr by 777666jason
December 30, 20213 yr 1989 will definitely be #1. Speak Now depends on the competition/vinyl availability. She can sell thousands of vinyls, it's a no brainer.
December 30, 20213 yr Thinking about it now, it would make more sense for Speak Now to be released earlier in the year when there’s less competition and 1989 later. Either way, I still think she’ll do what she can to get them both to #1.
December 30, 20213 yr 5. Steps announce the departure of one of their members Happy 2022! :cheer: Interesting, which one??? I can’t see it personally as steps will take a break again in 2023 for a few years after the 25th anniversary celebrations I am sure.
December 30, 20213 yr Rock and roll comes back- dominating the charts with guitar music all year - and no other genres at No 1, and we have the first heavy metal no 1 since Killing in the Name.

December 30, 20213 yr - Sam Fender goes from strength to strength and has a huge year in which he completely dominates, and ending 2022 with the year's best selling album Can't see it happening until his next album is released and surely he will have a break between albums, so maybe right at the very end of 2022. Anyway yes he will almost certainly have more top 20 singles chart hits when the next album arrives.
December 30, 20213 yr - 2022 will provide us with more #1s and periods of time where the #1 changes every couple of weeks as opposed to lots of long runs at #1 - Some more 'traditional' British guitar music will get into the charts, but with new/'underground' artists as opposed to previously established ones - African/African-inspired songs will continue to pepper the lower realms of the chart with maybe another one getting into the Top 10 - A few one-hit wonders from 4-5 years ago will re-emerge as features on dance tracks, such as Hozier with MEDUZA - Encanto will give us a Greatest Showman-style takeover at the start of the year, but thanks to the new rules with albums, almost the entire soundtrack will reach the Top 40 and will subsequently make lots of Buzzjack very annoyed - Someone bald who isn't Aitch or Arrdee but looks like them will initially appear as a feature on a popular drill song before getting a Top 10 single - Arctic Monkeys' new material will do significantly worse than people expect and will fall away from the Top 40 after less than 5 weeks - Louis and Liam from One Direction will attempt to revive their careers by collaborating with each other, and if they're lucky they get Zayn involved as well. - A song will reach the Top 20 which is so bizarre that no-one in their right mind would be able to predict it in this thread
December 30, 20213 yr - Ed Sheeran continues to be everywhere - The Joker & The Queen going to #1 due to signed CDs, he'll drop another album that'll return to the folk/singer-songwriter sound, and Merry Christmas goes back to #1 in December - Lewis Capaldi's comeback single will debut at #1, followed by an album of forgettable sadboy ballads that'll be the year's top selling album in UK Interesting if this actually happens! Ed won't allow it. Edited December 30, 20213 yr by Sour Candy
