Boo at Ed overtaking the pogues

That video by Brenda drains the song of any life!!!

 

In a way, it's good Pogues didn't get to no.1. The song is getting on a bit, and it also uses the f word.

Stick Season has asserted itself incredibly well to be top five among the Christmas onslaught!

 

I know it mentions the word but it's hardly a festive song.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if it comes around every xmas from now on with the rest tbh.

They can ask for a reset.

So, let's pray!

 

On what grounds? It will be over 3 years old and they never reset them at Christmas time.

Biography

 

The morning after a rough performance at a 2016 New Year’s Eve show, Mariah Carey took to social media to offer her recap: “S**t happens.” What else could she say? What else did she need to say? Thirty-plus years in the business, more No. 1 singles than any solo artist in history (and second overall only to The Beatles), more writing and production credits on those singles than any other female composer—Carey is one of the few artists who might legitimately be beyond apology, a diva incarnate whose songs bridge the confessional intimacy of singer-songwriters with the mass appeal of pop. Yeah, she had some knocks along the way. Everyone does. But few take them in stride, let alone with such style.

 

Born in Long Island in 1969 or 1970 (she once quipped that she doesn’t acknowledge time), Carey grew up on the classics: Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight. She moved to New York City after high school, cobbling together jobs while working on demos with then-collaborator Ben Margulies at the back of Margulies’ father’s cabinet factory. Her biggest tracks—from the early, dance- and gospel-influenced “Someday” and “Dreamlover” to the club leanings of “Fantasy” and “Honey” and ballads such as “Forever” and “Always Be My Baby”—stand like mile markers in the culture, capturing a feeling of sweetness and euphoria that straddles pop, hip-hop, and R&B without slotting neatly into any of them. Meanwhile, her melismatic style—a technique that entails singing a single syllable with a long run of notes—redefined our sense of what pop vocals sound like. Mimi, The Elusive Chanteuse, The Imperfect Angel...or maybe just Mariah. - Apple Music

This is OK, but not something I would ever listen to out of choice. The ‘COVID on the plane’ infuriates me, for some reason, every time I hear it.

 

Yes, that really grinds my gears too!

Yay! Sam's second UK top 2. :D

Good to see Sam at least top 2 - especially as all the know-it-alls at the start of the week said he'd be nowhere near! :P

No hoping. It's a given!

Is it though? It didn't chart until December 2021, so if it manages to re-enter in November before it hits the 3-year mark...

 

The Pogues blow their last ever chance to be Christmas Number 1. Shane's death close to Christmas was the only hope left.

Yay, so happy Sam is at least #2; though still hoping for some sort of last minute shenanigans nabbing him the #1!

Another #2 incoming for Sam no doubt ;)

 

(Which is still fantastic anyhow)

Are we getting Band Aid 40 next year? :kink:

 

Midge Ure said sometime ago there will be no more Band Aids.

Edited December 22, 20232 yr by zenon

Oh wow, Andrew Ridgley being on the show is pretty cool!

I think the interview with him now indicates its no.2

Biography

 

Sam Ryder’s soulful and spectacular voice blasts off like fireworks all throughout his pristine pop music. The Essex-based singer is a true 21st-century success story: after years of playing in rock and metal bands and trying to break into the songwriting game in Nashville, Ryder took to posting cover songs to the internet during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns, and quickly caught the attention of stars like Sia and Justin Bieber. In short order, he skyrocketed to social media stardom—and it’s not hard to hear why. Although 2019’s “Set You Free”, on which he showcased his impressive vocal acrobatics over soft guitar chimes, hinted at what was to come, his post-lockdown work is where he really shines. The soaring and impassioned “More” (2021) explores his metal influences, and The Sun’s Gonna Rise EP offers the best of his poignant originals thus far, such as the melancholy “Whirlwind” and the sun-blasted “July”. In 2022, he represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Space Man". - Apple Music

Biography

 

As the energetically punctuated Wham!, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley combined youthful high spirits with a polished union of disco and soul to become one of the defining pop acts of the 1980s. Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Michael) and Andrew John Ridgeley first met in secondary school as 12-year-olds back in 1975. Their 1981 debut as Wham!, the pop-rap snack “Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do?),” preached the joy of life on welfare amid rampant British unemployment. As the group’s principal songwriter and frontman, Michael’s exuberant turn on “Young Guns (Go for It!)” precipitated Wham!’s vibrant, post-disco debut, Fantastic, in 1983, which parlayed the duo’s carefree vigor into the glistening hedonism of “Club Tropicana.” Returning in 1984 with the emphatic “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” the group folded Detroit soul into an effervescent pop marvel that sent Wham! to the summit of the U.S. pop charts. Michael took over production on their follow-up album, Make It Big, whose modernized Motown sound on the brooding boogie cut “Everything She Wants” and the resplendent pop-soul of “Careless Whisper” cemented his standing as one of pop’s foremost performer/composers. Ending 1984 with the career-defining synth-pop torch song “Last Christmas,” Wham! harked back to their feel-good beginnings with “I’m Your Man” in 1985 before amicably parting to allow Michael to focus on his solo career. Their final album, 1986’s Music from the Edge of Heaven, featuring their last single “The Edge of Heaven,” wrote the postscript on a prodigious four-year passage that flourished into an indelible pop legacy. - Apple Music

Way to kill the suspense by saying we're going to talk to Andrew Ridgely.. obviously Sam wasn't going to be #1
