Hoping Justice and friends hold top 40 and Jamie or Tate take number one. Would've hoped for a Fontaines top 10 but that's not looking likely now.

Hopefully we’ll see expectations at no1 tonight, with Tate taking it the following week! Excited to see how high Fontaines singles can chart, hopefully all in the top 20!

Resets for Thriller and Fancy Footwork in Ireland plus a huge drop for Taylor so would expect the former two to be top 40 today and the latter to not be challenging for the top!

looks like Thriller really might challenge for #1 this year then - it's already #30 in Ireland now having peaked at #11 last year (it was #29 the week AFTER this tracking week last year so its chart run is effectively a week ahead already!) 😮

Lol at Taylor dropping 2-19 in Ireland.

Chappell is credited on expectations in Ireland so looks like they’re crediting her!!

hopefully we get Justice & Friends plus Chris Lorenzo & Chromeo in tonight for new dance music (plus Kettama & Prospa but they're a given)

Afternoon all looking forward to what must be the most interesting chart week in ages!

Rooting for 'expectations' to make #1 and also interested to see where Fontaines, Zach/Lana and Justice land amongst others.

My top 3 songs from the throwback top 10 charts:

Biography

Miguel’s sound evolves every time he encounters a new way to express love—and as one of pop’s friskiest experimentalists, that means his career is a study in subverting the very notion of a conventional R&B star. The singer-songwriter born Miguel Jontel Pimentel (Los Angeles, 1985) was drawn to music’s insider/outsiders from the beginning, mimicking the moves of Michael Jackson at family gatherings at age three, and later drawing both artistic and sartorial inspiration from the likes of David Bowie, Prince and Jimi Hendrix. So when it came time for his 2010 debut, All I Want Is You, Miguel flouted tradition by moving elegantly, sexily, both within and beyond his assigned genre. In back-to-back tracks, he slid from boom-bap soul to vulnerable a cappella to uptempo electro-funk. His confidence found composure on 2012’s Kaleidoscope Dream, which sounds as Technicolour and wondrous as the title suggests. On 2015’s Wildheart, he dove deeper into psych rock, incorporating his own guitar and a Lenny Kravitz cameo into raw, grinding cuts that also supported Kurupt rapping and Miguel singing in Spanish. By 2017’s War & Leisure, he seemed to be flitting across genres just to prove he could. After returning to his Art Dealer Chic EP series following almost a decade-long gap in 2021, Miguel explored the dark, difficult aspects of his divorce on 2025’s CAOS. During an Apple Music radio takeover ahead of the album, he cited the influence of synth- and sample-wielding outliers like Nine Inch Nails and Flying Lotus alongside the brooding alt-rock of Nirvana and Radiohead. But despite those chameleonic tendencies, he reassured listeners that his music remains very much his: “It’s always gonna be me at the centre, and you’re always going to hear my voice in the lyrics.” - Apple Music
