At number 3 we have the incredible, big and most straightforward pop song from the album, 'FUFN'. A song that is about being mad at your partner in the heat of the moment but knowing everything will be fine shortly after. One of those songs that I always forget just *how* much I love it, until I'm listening to it and honestly, I probably should have gone for a 10 myself instead of a 9! It's such a great pop song and I think the video is excellent! THE POWER OF THE MIDDLE FINGER! I really think if this was promoted as well as 'Angel Of My Dreams' was (i.e. playlist exposure etc..) it would have been a much bigger hit! Still, it gave our girl her 2nd top 40 smash and I think this has gone on to be a big fave for people who aren't really "following" her.

Ok ill allow it finish topb3 (should of been 2 minimum)

Agree it should of been promoted harder but glad it went top 40 regardless its such a bop

FUFN is a solid bop but i prefer her more experimental songs tbh (Angel, IT girl, Unconditional, MC). Glad it gave her that second top 40 hit though.

FUFN should have been HUGE and should have been part of the release order AOMD then IT Girl followed by FUFN...

The music video was a little poorly executed IMO great vision but didn't quite work in places....

Love FUFN, it was so close to getting my 11.

Great to see it top 3.

Final 2 time.

Angel of My Dreams

vs

Plastic Box

ONE WINNER.

BOTH BANGERS.

LETS GOOOOO!

Come on Angel!

(Love both)

02: Plastic Box [9.68]

THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!: Josh!, Lukuzz & HausofMayhem (11); Scene, Henessy Lake, Mr. C Joel, Juranamo, ChrisJK, *Tim, Calum, -Jay-, Jessie Where, shadow2009, Tafty & Mack (10)

THAT'S NOT SHOWBIZ HUN!: 777666jason, blacksquare & RyanFM (08)

Our runner up is the "heartbreak on the dancefloor" sad bop of life, 'Plastic Box'. The worldwide number 1 SMASH that never was. Put in the same category as tracks from the likes of Robyn, Carly Rae, Ariana's 'we can't be friends' etc.. this track went on to HUGE critical acclaim and was featured in a lot of "Best of 2025" end of year lists and deservedly so. It's a perfect pop song, imo. The production is so rich and "full", mixed in with Jade's versatile vocals and and explosive final chorus... just mesmerising. It truly deserved to be an absolute monster smash and I think this will be one of those tracks that will get it's recognition with the public once a straight white male covers it on a talent show or something (to any of those men reading this... BACK TF OFF YOU HEATHENS!!!!). Seriously though, what an absolute masterpiece.

WINNER: Angel of My Dreams [9.95]

THAT'S NOT SHOWBIZ HUN!: Josh! (08)

AND HERE IS OUR WINNER!

THE 'ANGEL OF OUR DREAMS' INDEED. The song that kick started JADE's solo career and WHEW. THIS is how you come out swinging with your DEBUT solo material. This may just be my favourite debut single since Britney burst onto the scene with 'Baby One More Time'! This is a song about Jade's love/hate relationship with the music industry and is responsible for the entire "Showbiz" theme and aesthetic for her debut era. They got this release SO right. Everything seemed so on point with this release. Even by giving us THAT Remix and ofc the INCREDIBLE and PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT at the BRITs last year... just perfection. It's going to be hard for anyone to top this as a debut imo. It's actual perfection and although I wanted to reward 'Glitch' with my 11, this song is actually my favourite from her. Just phenomenal. I could gush about it all day. My friends are certified Jade stans now because of this song!

OH ANGEL OF MY DREAMS. THE SMASH THAT YOU ARE <3

Thank you to all 22 of you who took the time to put forward some scores for this rate. It's been an absolute PLEASURE to have provided the results for this album, which is possibly my most played debut album of all time. I am still listening to it all the way through on the regular. I'm not tired of it and I'm so happy to see so many people love the album just as much as I do and it's been wonderful celebrating the album in this way with you all.

THANK YOU <3

Glad AOMD won and 2 of my top 3 were actual top 3 , Angel is just the perfect song to kickstart a solo career and it should of been a multiple number 1 but at least it had longevity

Plastic Box isnt a bad song by any means its just one of my least favourite personally that still even an 8 isnt too bad just shows how strong the album is

AOMD is basically the best thing since sliced bread.

Fantastic top 3 actually. My only minor gripe with FUFN is it feels like it takes aaaaages to get going, but it's a killer track nonetheless.

Incredible top 2! Very difficult to split.

Angel Of My Dreams was instant for me and Plastic Box was a grower.

Plastic Box is just divine. She knew the assignment with that one and delivered! Also confirmation she well and truly knows her fanbase. 🤭

Angel had to win really. FLAWLESS in all its genre-bending, tempo-fluctuating glory. and the video is arguably the best Pop music video of the last decade at least?!

Thanks Tafty for hosting this! ❤️ Loved your commentaries throughout.

Knew that Angel of my Dreams would win, and it would have been a disservice for it not to have, even if it's far from being my fave.

I watched the BRITS performance again the other day - the bit when she free falls through the elevated stage is still awesome to watch.

FUFN is my second fave and it deserved to be huge. The video is too disjointed though with it stopping and starting.

Plastic Box was my fave for a while. Deserves to be up there.

Loved this rate as TSB has been my fave album for years and I have played it to death and still do.

Im the Same its probably 1 of my most played albums since I signed up to Spotify 10 years ago, its definitely my most played (non Taylor swift) album ever , its just so flawless that I even broke my no physical formats rules and bought both standard and Encore, convinced me to go to my first ever tour on my own (was so good) and even purchase merchandise (tour tshirt thats getting very worn out and a signed poster)

No other artist in my whole life has made me stan on this level (Taylor doesnt even come close) thats just how strong this albums is
