January 21, 20241 yr Forgot about Calvin surprised he’s this high but well deserved - he’s like a quality version of Guetta!
January 21, 20241 yr Great to see King Slayble Tesfaye in the top 5!!!!! Calvin has several bops in his catalogue (my favs being 'I'm Not Alone', 'We'll Be Coming Back' & 'Slide')
January 21, 20241 yr I do really like Calvin, I gave him 3 points, didn’t expect him at high as 6 though !
January 22, 20241 yr So I'm presuming we have left: Jacko George Michael Elton John David Bowie The Weeknd?!

January 22, 20241 yr So happy to see The Weeknd so high! Happy to see I’m not the only 30 pointer too. By far my favourite current male. So innovative, creative, versatile, talented. A true icon (for me at least). I can’t wait to see where his next era takes us but very happy with that placing especially considering everyone who’s above him have a stellar catalogue and he’s the most recent act within the top 10!
January 22, 20241 yr Ooh so Bowie has climbed since last time *.* Great spot for The Weeknd especially considering he only broke through in the 2010s while others remaining have/had careers spanning several decades. 'House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls' is my favourite of his pre-commercial breakthrough, while the timeless-sounding 'Save Your Tears' is my #1 from his hits - topped my personal chart twice over, solo and with Ari.
January 22, 20241 yr Excellent result for The Weeknd, not only top 5 but more than 100 points ahead of #6! My favourites from him are the predictable ones from After Hours - 'Blinding Lights', 'Save Your Tears', 'In Your Eyes' (next would be one from the title track, 'I Feel It Coming' from earlier and 'Less Than Zero' from later).
January 22, 20241 yr The Wekend is very very high! Not sure he has the credentials to be remembered as a legend or anything close to one!
January 22, 20241 yr Weeknd is very good (although I forgot to vote for him) Not sure he deserves a top 5 tho but each to their own!
January 22, 20241 yr The Weeknd Definitely my favourite male star of the past decade or so. I've been a fan since his Trilogy days and it's so weird to think that he would go on to become so successful, I'd definitely never have guessed it back then. In terms of his albums, I don't think he's ever bettered his initial Trilogy offering although most of his albums do have some stand out moments. It took me a while to adjust, probably feeling he'd 'sold out' a bit from where he started - but I mellowed to it over time and realised that he was still releasing some great singles. I don't think it helped that Earned It was his first big song in the UK, I still think it's completely weak now, and Can't Feel My Face was another that I wasn't huge on... good job The Hills was so successful too as that's much more faithful to his origins. Blinding Lights is the best pop song of the decade for me, totally deserving of its success and something that I have never gotten tired of hearing... the same for his other 80s inspired tracks like Save Your Tears and Less Than Zero. Belong To The World and The Birds Pt 1 are the early hits that never were.
January 22, 20241 yr The Wekend is very very high! Not sure he has the credentials to be remembered as a legend or anything close to one! He will be like the Prince of this era imo!
January 22, 20241 yr I didn't vote for The Weeknd, he's a bit hit and miss for me. When he delivers, he really delivers, but there's also plenty I'm not too fond of. 'I Feel It Coming', 'Take My Breath' and 'Can't Feel My Face' are my faves. I don't mind if I never hear 'Blinding Lights' again, as I'm a bit sick to death of that.
January 22, 20241 yr Def have to listen to more Weeknd albums. 'Starboy' was my favourite single of the tens. Really hated 'Earned It' and never was that keen on 'Blinding Lights' but all his other songs great. His rather disturbing imagery really reflects the times we live in unfortunately. Complete genius.
January 23, 20241 yr Crazy to see he has only one #1 in the UK. I'm so used to him having seven in the US!
January 23, 20241 yr I agree that it feels crazy that the Weeknd has only had a single UK #1. I can immediately think of at least four others that were massive enough that i'm sure your average non chart geek wouldn't question it being a #1 single.
