This is the edit, it would've been fine for the radio (if they can get an edit together for WAP then this would've been fine, Radio 1 even worked to make one for Hard Out Here that censored every instance of the word "bitch" so it could be played during the chart...!), the only barrier would probably have been the title - I guess even F You wouldn't be appropriate (given the renaming of GAYLE's abcdefu to simply abc, lol x)

That list will likely be half of her new album in the next year if it sustains itself well!

I'm not a fan of that edit. Great video though, very clever effects, hadn't seen that before!

I wonder if a radio edit of F*** You being changed to Stuff You would’ve worked.

Floof you floof you very very much 🤷🤣

'The Fear' should be #01. Timeless classic.

Roll The Dice top 10 is amazing! Also love that Knock Em Out has appeared as it's my favourite from her debut.

Knock Em Out is great, so it’s good to see it in the top 20. That alongside Everything’s Just Wonderful are my favourite albums tracks from her debut.

Unleashing such a killer single into a quiet January/February market was a great move

Even as a kid during this time, loved this period because all of the big charts hits (the only way I was discovering music at the time) were all by women. Was reminded about during in summer 2023 when the successive numbers (and top 5-7 every week) were by women but that December to March run was I believe the only time prior to 2023 that five different songs by women were the successive chart toppers

• Leona Lewis - Run

• Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah

• Lady Gaga - Just Dance*

• Lily Allen - The Fear

• Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You

plus everything else vis-à-vis women going on at that 3 month period - Alesha Dixon comeback as a soloist, The Saturdays ascension, Girls Aloud eventual last hurrah, Pussycat Dolls last time as a unit for a decade, peak Pink, Beyoncé’s most commercially dominant era, Taylor Swift starting to emerge internationally.

* James Masterton of chart watch uk said Colby O’Donis wasn’t credited on the uk single release at the time and his verse was left out of the radio edit.

I was surprised to see that Alright, Still actually outsold Its Not Me, It’s You as the latter definitely felt like a bigger era.

I now officially stand corrected, INMIY has overtaken AS. As per today’s chart commentary:

Allen’s first two albums are both quadruple platinum, with 2006 debut Alright, Still on 1,210,017 units and 2009 follow-up It’s Not Me, It’s You on 1,242,106 units.
