So happy for Gayle. Finally number 1! :cheer:

Hooray!

She does have more than one version and that is the answer.

 

As I suspected. Hate it when that happens but those are the rules and people will understandably exploit them.

Those #1 positions are its peak positions in those charts - we'll find out in a few mins what their current positions are on the OCC site.

 

Ah okay, my apologies.

Biography

 

To get a sense of where Muse is coming from, consider that in 2016 the band was venturing to design a stage made of magnets so it would look like they were flying—like superheroes. The stage never happened, but the point stands: Few bands go as shamelessly big as Muse. Formed in Devon, England, in the mid-’90s, the trio fashioned themselves as a modern answer to ’70s prog, mixing Queen-like arena rock with electronic music and glam, layering their sound with narratives about drone warfare, government oppression, the idea that we’re all just lines of code living in a program we call reality—blockbuster fantasies that restored rock to a state of wide-eyed wonder. Though their approach has shifted and evolved over the years (the classical inflections of 2003's Absolution, the hard rock of 2015’s Drones, the electro sheen of 2018’s Simulation Theory), the core of their sound has stayed the same: Take something big and make it bigger. Still, the band has always maintained a good sense of humour about themselves. Speaking to Apple Music in 2015, singer Matt Bellamy recalled a night when bassist Chris Wolstenholme literally got stuck in an elaborate stage platform during a show—what Bellamy called “the Spinal Tap moment.” “There’s a seriousness in what we do,” Bellamy said. “There’s also an irony as well. And we always oscillate between those two things, and create something a bit different than both those things.” - Apple Music

Biography

 

Avril Lavigne’s sharp, punk-informed pop can mean everything to any girl who’s ever felt like an outsider. Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1984, the singer/songwriter was initially positioned as a teen antihero—a rowdy, refreshing, slightly tomboyish counter to the coy, curated, overtly sexual stylings of chart dominators like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. And with the release of her 2002 debut album, Let Go, Lavigne didn’t just go against that glossy image, she shattered it, spiking her hooks with sass and sincerity and making loose neckties and a tank top a must-have fashion statement. The young spitfire faced love with intimidating confidence—she not only fell for the “Sk8er Boi,” she wrote songs with him—and approached poseurs with eye-rolling distaste, as expressed on her breakout single “Complicated.” Moving on from her teens, Lavigne’s kept that youthful spirit and outspoken edge alive, empowering girls to stand up for themselves (2004’s post-grunge earworm “Don’t Tell Me”), maybe steal a boy or two in the process (2007’s bubbly pop-punk anthem “Girlfriend”), and never, ever lose touch with their wild side (2013’s punky sing-along “Here’s to Never Growing Up”). She’s continually reinvented herself, too, moving effortlessly between romantic balladeer, stadium-rock warrior, and a “bombshell raisin’ hell”—while baring all, even through public breakups and an enduring battle with Lyme disease. It’s been enough to keep Lavigne in the spotlight, both on her own and as a major influence on notable admirers like Billie Eilish. - Apple Music

This is the sort of the song I usually like and I like it some days but also don't on other days lol. Very polarizing. Could love it more if it didn't have the alphabet included as it seems quite childish but hey ho. Good for her and Adele has had more than enough time really.

Edited January 14, 20224 yr by Roba.

Oh joy the astroturfed alphabet hit will be #1 for weeks now :mansoncheer: buzzjack's whining last week was all for naught then lol

Shame The Motto is just outside the top 40 at #41 today. :(

I don’t even think many like the song. They just wanted to see Adele toppled, but it doesn’t make that much of a diffeeence at this point since she has the record for most weeks at #1 for a song by a British female.

Edited January 14, 20224 yr by BlackNBlue

First #1 single since “good 4 u” that doesn’t feature Ed Sheeran, Adele or Elton John on the track.

I'm happy for GAYLE. And although I'm bored of abcdefu now, she deserved the #1 and was robbed last week.

abcdefu is #1 on sales and audio streaming this week, so little argument whether it deserves to be there or not.

The Motto ended up at #41 this week! Not a huge drop on last week in the end.

It should rebound back in, still climbing day by day on Spotify

How do they radio edit abcdefu? Do they read out the title and all?

The use the (nicer) version which borrows some inspiration from CeeLo Green ;)

 

I think they just refer to its title as 'abc'.

It's #6 in the last Buzzjack Multichart so obviously has quite a few fans lol

Oh yeah, people bought it and streamed it en masse this week just because they wanted to see Adele toppled. That makes perfect sense.

 

Addressing your other point, two versions exist because one is clean and one is explicit.

There’s 3 versions including the angrier one too! (I don’t think many people stream the clean version, it’s pretty poor and ruins the song)
