I agree with Jack, I can see this going to #1, the way it’s exploding on streaming. The solo version is so good. Doechii first caught my attention with Persuasive and What It Is. I’m so pleased she’s having her moment this year! So excited for her!

KING KENNY RULING THE CHARTS AS HE SHOULD!!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!! SZA’s catalog benefiting is great to see too. The banger that is 30 For 30 finally appears in the Spotify Top 50 and it wasn’t even performed at the Super Bowl lol. Deserved to though.

I'm going to rewatch tonight's episode for that Ravi and Denise scene in the restaurant. That was so hot. :kink:

The second episode was brilliant. CLASSIC Eastenders!!! I loved all the references and throwbacks across the two episodes. Cindygate was a cross between the Stax affair reveal and Sharongate. I don’t think Cindy is dead but will probably be in a coma perhaps until the 40th Anniversary in February which I also expect the person who attacked her will be revealed to the audience. Now who was the attacker? Initially I thought Kojo was the culprit last night but on reflection and reading Lindsey’s brilliant theory on Anna’s motives. It definitely would be the most interesting choice for Anna to be Cindy’s attacker. There would be so much scope to explore if it is the case and even wider ramifications for the Knight family. Again BRAVO to Michelle Collins for a superb performance through out that episode. A great script by the legend that is Simon Ashdown. The Clenshaw era will definitely go down as one of the best eras of the show.

Great first Christmas episode. So much drama and tension! LOVED IT! Denise & Ravi are so hot together. Wow!

Bear in mind SZA’s LANA album was released in the evening UK time so was unlikely to appear in today’s chart. I expect some tracks to feature on the Spotify chart in tomorrow’s update.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM! I'm obsessed with 30 For 30 and Diamond Boy. Those songs are such bangers. It feels like the prequel to SOS though which is very interesting. LANA feels like a development on the CTRL foundation set for SZA's groundbreaking sound and literally acts as a bridge from CTRL to SOS. So I can see why it was released as the deluxe version of SOS. The fact that the LANA tracks precede the SOS standard tracks kinda confirms my theory. While it is a very strong project itself, I feel like people would be disappointed if it was released her 3rd studio album as it doesn't really venture out of its soundscape like SOS did. But this is right up my street, it's more RnB with alternative, indie and psychedelic elements.

Big news - SZA is releasing her highly anticipated project Lana, the deluxe version of her hit second album SOS this Friday. Definitely going to have an impact on the streaming charts next week.

The long awaited and highly anticipated deluxe of SZA's smash second album will be released this Friday (20th December 2024).

Omg I just listened that Peggy song. The lyrics are indeed WILD! Could see it being a big hit in the new year.

I have voted to save the following campmates; Melvin Oti Maura GK Barry Danny

I’m really enjoying the show this year, such a strong cast.

Very strong project from Kung Fu Kenny!!! I absolutely loved it!!! Luther, TV Off and Reincarnated are the clear standouts for me on first listen. I also love how upbeat the album is. This is definitely going to be an album I come back to a lot.

OMG WHAT? LEMME LISTEN :cheeseblock: EDIT: Wait there are two SZA features??!! :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock:

This is EXCELLENT!!! A return to form for Gaga, taping into her incredible melodic pop sensibilities. The way the production made me gasp when the beat drops. Damn! A Gaga song has not clicked with me on first listen in over a decade like this.
