As one of the most important pop songs ever Billie Jean deserves so much more than 1 measly week at the top so wouldn't complain if it knocked Rein Me In off! However if it stops a new song from getting there I won't be so pleased.

03 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

05 Alex Warren - FEVER DREAM

06 Michael Jackson - Human Nature

Ideally neither MJ or RMI is number 1 this week but RMI is definitely the lesser of 2 evils

Expect even more older songs to crop up off the back of Spotify’s 20 year anniversary. Giving playlists of peoples most played tracks since joining the service similar to Spotify wrapped.

Would be great if even Billie Jean could challenge the juggernaut that is Rein Me In.

And people thought I was being serious, 🤣🤣🤣.

Yes, probably EVERYONE thought you were being serious, no one got the joke - so there was no point in saying it.

Still not too late for my "next Dasha" prediction to come true!

I've been getting "Choosin' Texas" on autoplay on spotify recently, I think mainly due to me playing Kacey Musgraves new album a bit!

Kworb is great! We used to be able to use it to work out relative download sales on iTunes, but we can’t do that anymore. However, other than that, it normally has quite good functionality.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that we're in MAY and there's only THREE (3) 2026 songs in the Spotify top 15. I love that for us! I love that the industry is in zombie mode!

What caused Legendary Lovers to drop almost 120 spots in one day?!
