And a singles coming this Friday!
January 8Jan 8 Made this list on 29th December just copying it over, some already looking likely to be happening! I’ve added some comments in brackets for things we know about!Beyoncé act 3 is a rock album, with some impressive collabs, Ive heard rumours of Beyoncé & Tina turner!Olivia Rodrigo 3rd album, rockier sounding and red colour scheme, single 1 around March With album in late July, at least 1 no1 single, bigger than guts but not as big as sourNew album from Bruno mars, massive, he maintains his steak as being one of the best hitmakers (new album announced for march)New Harry Styles. No1 single for 6 weeks? Album is massive and probably best selling album of the yearToo 40 singles finally for Rachel Chinouriri & CmatCalvin Harris top 10 singleThere will be more ai music a la I run and it will cause some discourseWhatever is used in stranger things finale returns to the chart (looks like prince, Fleetwood and others all looking to come back, as well as djo!)The only songs from showgirl to be pushed are the 4 already charted, possibly videos for opalite or Elizabeth Taylor and possibly title track goes top 40 but no other songs do anythingTaylor Swift debut album 20th anniversary deluxe including re record version as she announced she had already recorded it and was waiting for the right time! Hopefully some from the beautiful eyes ep are included, I need I heart ? On streaming Sabrina goes on tour for mans best friend, tour ends this year and she takes a breakNew Adele? Praying for thisAudrey hobert & adela get top 40 singlesfolded by khelani is the first of many “classic r&b” style hits, the genre has a comeback this yearZach Bryan has a no1 album (probably happening next week as he’s dropping on Friday)Lady gaga mayhem tour in stadiums this summer, we have an oasis/ Coldplay style return to the charts for songs but it’s not mayhem songs, it’s some of her old hits like bad romance or poker faceLily Allen’s west end girl shows have many viral moments, I could see her bringing out someone different as Madeline each night like she did on snlRaye album in August, another no1 single and she does very well, I think husband has cemented her as one of the biggest British artists.Dave releases a stand alone single that goes to no1 to keep his streak of his no1 singles not being from albumsFall off of central Cee, he doesn’t trouble the top 40Every single song from the art of loving gets a top 100 placement, with at least 2-3 more top 40s. Deluxe in May provides another no1 for herZara Larsson revival, midnight sun deluxe causes her to have 3 top 40s simultaneously, lush life, midnight sun and new song!
January 15Jan 15 Harry Styles releases his most alternative music yet, but is just as big as the last eraPitbull will have a new song or feature chart in the Top 100JLS will release a new album this year ☃️

Just release "35" already, it's been 5 years since, for Pete's sake. God, please make Adele hungry to release music this year 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Raye's prediction seems reasonable and likely, quite happy with that.Harry definitely will have a ball musically this year, #1 single, and #1 album most definitely guaranteed.
