A lack of Discord shows means Matilda Mann can have minor album impact, but also means a firestorm of Macklemore songs and the most politically angry anthems in the last three years boiling over. This is all due to the Ed Sheeran issue, continued ICE problems, and my country's Martial Law anniversary. The latter sees the EDSA song of Virna Lisa tying ABBA, Rachel Croft and Deafheaven for the most weeks at #1 in the new charts, with three. 

I usually want to steer clear of politics because I've lost my faith in humanity and my jaded cynical self usually feels like fighting against the demons in this world is a lost cause that'll only give the craven losers more attention they don't deserve. However, I do understand that silence is oppression, so this chart is the least I could do to speak up, even if more subtly than most.

Never forget, never again. Also, free Palestine.

Hey Oliver! :)

Glad to see the debuts for ‘Can’t Hold Us’ & ‘Salt In The Wound’, along with the big jump for ‘Bass Persuades’.

Good chart!

Heya!

It's nice to see great expectation do well and not plummet. I'm enjoying it a lot right now.

I'm so glad Serena joy is doing well.

Amazing stuff 🥳

Hi Oliver,

Ain't In LA still my favourite song from your Top 10. Tears Always Burn is great too.

Bass Persuades and Salt in the Wound will be bigger next week amidst the GUTS storm.

I don't expect the Macklemore songs outside Shadow to stick around, but Bass Persuades and Dance Till I Die are absolutely going to be bigger next week.

Side note btw: I was initially planning on putting Self Aware on the charts for next week, but a fellow server member of mine reminded me that it would fly in the face of a lot of the political themes of this week's chart, and so I decided to remove it from consideration given it's just a guilty pleasure anyway. The fact that I support Palestine and Temper City actively refuse to is exactly why I'm embarrassed that I love this song and considered it for charting at some point. I still love it, but yyyyyeeah...

I imagine Sienna would be able to make it if the album bomb for Olivia is not enough to kick it out, especially since there'll be a bloodbath in the recurrents area. Serena Joy might be cannibalized by Olivia's own other songs but we'll have to wait and see on that.

Aint in LA might be my new favorite song of Adela if im being honest. It's kind of a fluke since songs like KGB and Fantasize are the best representation of her personality and aesthetic, but this song that's actively outside her comfort zone really only has minor issues that don't hinder a genuine masterpiece. That Effe song is actually one of Hennessy's recommendations, their taste is genuinely awesome, especially given Paraglider went to #1.

Thanks for commenting everyone <3
