December 27, 20241 yr One Direction, including Zayn, play one night at Wembley Stadium as a tribute to Liam
December 27, 20241 yr Ed Sheeran will release a new pop album but it will be his least successful bar Autumn Variations Drake will not have a top 10 single Rihanna won't release an album A song breaks the record for most weeks at number 2 without reaching number one Chappell Roan has her first number one single Oasis release a new single in March which goes top 5 with big physical sales, they play one show then break up immediately
December 27, 20241 yr UK Rap will likely have a better year than this year - might get a couple Jerk songs charting. Central Cee will continue his success streak with 1 or 2 big single releases but outside of him the UK Drill sound will be close to nonexistent “Afro”house will spawn a couple big hits Far more of this years YE top 40 sticks around to make the year end list than compared to last year Continued domination of Country music - if Morgan Wallen drops an album I wouldn’t be surprised if it produces 1 or 2 year end songs Drake doesn’t touch the weekly top 50 Sabrina Carpenter may release an EP that produces at least one more huge hit I don’t know if Taylor is planning to release another Taylor’s version but if she does, one of the songs will debut at number 1 The US rap that crosses over will be more likely to be inspired by West Coast sounds thanks to Not Like Us’ success. Playboi Carti will have an even bigger year than this year too Dave releases his third album and even if it’s big it’s reception won’t be as warm as the first two. Also the charts will likely be even more stagnant than this year, who could prompt an occ rule change
December 27, 20241 yr I don’t think they will, but if Oasis do release a new single next year it will absolutely go to #1 - no physical sales required!
December 27, 20241 yr JADE will "do a 2009 Black Eyed Peas-US Chart domination" and 'IT girl' will be number 1 until 'FUFN' is released which will be number 1 until the 4th single is launched mid Summer and will get the fastest selling female studio album of all time. I CAN DREAM, HAROLD!!!!!

December 27, 20241 yr I definitely think - or at least hope - that Jade will absolutely smash it with her album next year. She deserves to with all the major pop girl energy she's been serving us!
December 28, 20241 yr - FKA twigs will score a top 40 album - Mitski will drop a new album and chart in the top 20 Pretty conservative prediction for these... I can see them go top ten easily when they release.
December 28, 20241 yr Pretty conservative prediction for these... I can see them go top ten easily when they release. Twigs’ last two releases here missed the top 20 and 40 respectively so didn’t want to aim tooo high (I know CAPRISONGS was billed as a mixtape, so that’s why I thought she would be back in the top 40 now) but would love to see it as the material is great so far. I actually forgot that Laurel Hell went top 10 as well as Mitski’s last album so yeah hopefully top 10 should be doable for her once more, but at least I’m covered if her next release is a surprise #11 or something :’)

Cole & Playboi Carti - Gracie Abrams gets the first #1 of the year - Bruno Mars returns with a multi-week #1 solo single - Dave finally returns with a HUGE album in Q3 - 'Reputation (TV) drops and underperforms by Taylor's usual standards.

December 28, 2025Dec 28 Predicting a TikTok resurgence for ‘Golden Brown’ has to be the most impressive prediction @Jade !
