Fair enough. Maybe Sabrina could be the best bet then for the “a lister”

If all other K Pop-Demon Hunter songs gets playlisted before the ball and HUNTR/X brings out Saja Boys for Your Idol and Soda Pop, then maybe we could consider them as a full act rather than just a BOOTB act.

Till then, we’ll leave it to fate to decide the lineup of the “uk’s biggest Xmas party”

Made a thread specifically for this year's Jingle Bell Ball with news imminent, FYI!

Everything regarding the Jingle Bell Ball should now be spoken about in the ‘Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball 2025’ thread that Joseph has made!

Also check out this forum if you want to speak about the Big Top 40 Charts https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/283614-ee-official-big-top-40/?&do=getNewComment

^ please keep Big Top 40 chat in here, it's not an official, industry-recognised chart and they're not remotely transparent about it so I don't think it needs its own thread!

They’ve played Sienna Spiro as of 4:48 today. Not sure why the Big Top 40 didn’t play Lily Allen in full given how popular it was (apart from an inappropriate chorus)

Sienna has really grown on me!

They also played new Sonny Fodera at 8:12 meaning he is definitely guaranteed for JBB when they announce lineup tomorrow

As well as a re-ad for WDYGH from a certain blonde singer and a few others that have been on rotation recently (I’ll leave you to take a guess which artists)

Lots of Throwbacks have come on Capital Anthems recently including ballers Louis and Tinie

I’m guessing the Saturdays might be another surprise act for JBB

Since Taylor is now 6 weeks at number one with TFOO, we need her as a surprise act at least. She’s been on capital breakfast weeks ago and even though she is too big for this event, she would definitely steal the show.

 

Also, I’m surprised that AI has now broken into the charts - Cain Walker with that new country song

If any AI songs take over the whole top 40 in 2026, will this chart get more pointless???
