Hmm not sure about this “Dirty Cash” remake but at least it’s not an abomination like some other recent remakes of 90s / 00s hits.

Not 'Bad Habits' being played on the albums rundown, I truly detest that song with every atom of my body!

 

Hadn't heard this re-working of 'Dirty Cash (Money Talks)' until now. Nothing special but it does its job xx. At least it's pretty much stayed the same aesthetically to the original and not drastically ruined the song for us x

He should have said originally released in 1990

very pleasing to see Pawsa straight into the top 20! makes up for his previous two chart entries narrowly missing out

Boo at the Sam skip! One of my friends was going to his Glasgow gig and was really upset to find out he cancelled after he travelled up

'Good Luck, Babe!' is excellent, one of the very best top 40 hits of last year :wub: intrigued to see what comes next for her.

Shocked they didn't play Taste the way it's been going.

 

Now then, can this presenter avoid the urge to talk over the outro?

Sam Fender skipped. Why R1? :(

Oh I wonder if espresso has been reset then with it above taste, would it really be this high on ACR?

Well done Ed, never write him off. Now for the rest of my October prediction to come true if he posts something later:

 

Clever. A dead sales week which in the equivalent week last year saw Lewis Capaldi at No.1 with 8.5k, the year before Taylor with 11k.

 

Ed is still doing 8k streams of this album a week so wouldn't need to add very much physically to challenge for No.1 that week (unless some other album blows up in the meantime or Sabrina is still doing really well etc). If he gives it a push on socials then this very well could end up at No.1 then.

 

We know he's a chart fan and will study sales figures and trends just like we all do. Selecting the quietest week of the year to give your 'almost there but not quite' album another physical push is classic Ed. Got to respect the hustle :lol:

 

I can already imagine his post: "What a way to start 2025 with a No.1 album, it's so unexpected! I only put it out there to wrap off this era and the next album is out very soon. 2025 will be amazing" etc...

Edited January 3, 2025Jan 3 by gooddelta

now *thats* more like it. one of the greatest songs ever imo, so perfect! shame it never got its chance at #1 but such a classic. now if only heart spammed this :kink:

We’re getting most of the 2024 year end Top 10 played it seems - we’ve already had 6/10

7/10 now, with the possibility of 2 more to come! Assuming 'Please x3' is starred out still.

Oh I wonder if espresso has been reset then with it above taste, would it really be this high on ACR?

Espresso was #20 in the mids with Taste at #22 so it was ahead already!

So they play Lose Control and Stick Season and all that, but a reasonably new song which is on the R1 playlist - People Watching - gets skipped?

 

The producers of the chart make some odd choices.

'Good Luck, Babe!' is excellent, one of the very best top 40 hits of last year :wub: intrigued to see what comes next for her.

 

Just remember who the chorus reminds me of, Marina of course!

Have all these these top songs of 2024 been reset or still have enough streams to chart so high?

Have all these these top songs of 2024 been reset or still have enough streams to chart so high?

The latter in most cases, the resets have gone to songs that went to ACR in December.

Now then, can this presenter avoid the urge to talk over the outro?

 

Almost but still about 10 seconds after Jack so we'll let him off.

Biography

 

When singer-songwriter Billie Eilish feels something new, the first thing she does is take out her phone and write it down. “You can write anything,” she told Apple Music in an interview for the Up Next series in 2018. “You can say the truth, and you cannot tell anyone that it’s the truth—you can just write it, and it’ll be yours.” Raised and homeschooled in Los Angeles by actor/musician parents, Eilish (born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell in 2001) started writing songs when she was around 11, exploring a strain of melancholy, minimal, and slightly surrealistic pop influenced as much by Lana Del Rey as the radical honesty of rappers like Tyler, The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. Writing and recording with her brother—and producer—FINNEAS at their parents’ house, Eilish released dont smile at me in 2017, graduating directly from her bedroom to the spotlight. Hardly two years later, she’d released the Grammys-slaying WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, an experimental-pop opus exploring mental health and totally upending notions of what constitutes pop music in 2020. (She also won the inaugural Apple Music Award for Global Artist of the Year and performed an Apple Music Live session at London’s O2 Arena in 2022.) Despite the attention, Eilish has done her best to stake out a space of freedom and fluidity, dodging easy definition. Her 2021 album Happier Than Ever saw her chart a further path of self-discovery, after which 2023’s Academy Award-winning ballad “What Was I Made For?” felt downright existential and the 2024 single “LUNCH” openly radiated queer desire. For an artist who has always seemed like she’s whispering closely guarded secrets into our ears, Eilish’s songwriting only seems to be growing more personal. “This is the most ‘me’ thing I’ve ever made,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about 2024’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. “And purely me—not a character.” - Apple Music

my thing with hit me hard and soft, as an entire album i struggled to get through it all, but individually most of the songs are incredible! so many gems on it when they get their moment but in the contect of the whole album its a bit too much samey for me

 

wildflower in particular is absolutely gorgeous! i do hope theres a chance for BLUE to get a moment, thats my fave from HMHAS
