Ah yeah, he did 2 songs at a "welcome home party" on Saturday 😂

Fantastic news!

I think the prison release caused the songs to blow up again, and they've just been bubbling under the charts since then - perhaps rising as more people find out and share the song again? There are YouTube comments from 11 days ago saying things like “welcome home" etc. His album re-entered the Spotify UK Albums Chart for the week of January 9–15.

It's happening! New Arctic Monkeys music is out this Thursday at 3pm GMT 😮 It's for a new War Child charity album, a follow up to 1995's 'The Help Album'. So it'll be interesting to see where it charts. Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Damon Albarn, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Foals, Wet Leg and several others have also been rumoured to have songs on the album. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTvJP9WjCtY

Remember when 6ix9ine was a thing?

This streamed well over time, with 550m on Spotify now and certified Silver in the UK, but only peaked at #45 here:

The post has been liked by Scouting For Girls. Their frontman Roy Stride has written for a few pop artists in the last decade or so (including One Direction), so I think this could be one of his songs.

Ah yes, just watching it now. I forgot Michael McIntyre was a judge for one series! Seems strange to watch now as he’s so associated with Saturday nights on the BBC.

What did she do on BGT?

As it's based solely on sales, it always felt like the least credible category anyway. Sam Fender's fans tend to be quite dedicated at this thing, so I can see Rein Me In winning with votes from Olivia's fans coming in too.

As sole vocalist, yes - but Serge did have lead vocals on 2007’s Top 40 ‘Me Plus One’.

The band “December Tenth” said their threat of legal action was just a joke that they didn’t expect to get as much attention as it did. They literally had less than 500 monthly listeners on Spotify, so I never expected it to come to anything.

Sounds decent if a little generic! Looking forward to seeing how they do though.

That’s a very pleasant surprise! They were my least likely to win out of the 3.

More votes please!
