Justice for seven minute melody-free vocals over a repetitive unchanging dance beat

Up to forty entrants. I quite fancy ‘winning a day’ soon so I may do one of those react to my post polls that Silas did last time around to decide between one big final and semis 🤭 Press 👍 for semis React ❤️ for one big final Go for me to just choose people to eliminate without semis Finally 😮 to make Silas and Cody fist fight it out to gain entry to the final

This is why using the quote feature is important 😂

Lord have mercy on us all

My spicy hot take is that BJSC is better with around about 45-50 participants. Your booked and blessed business fish doesn't need the protracted torture of a 32 song semi final when half of it is going to be seven minute melody-free vocals over a repetitive unchanging dance beat.

But will Lorraine herself be on Lorraine tomorrow! (lol)

Did she not get the memo getting engaged on Friday is best day to maximise chart position 🤭

not Cook Me Down

Sapphire and maybe Rein Me In next week? tv off definitely out, and I guess Teenage Dirtbag too, although it might be doing better than Another Love currently tbh. I know gasman mentioned Hairdresser a couple of weeks ago, but it simply can't be doing enough anymore to have a shout imo.

Patrick and I have done a straight entry swap so we'll see if we did the right choice x I'm hoping I've sent something to get the Aeroche fans back on board after truly alienating them the last couple of months!! I'm going for Scottish ravey goodness x

Non British born people need to stop getting instant access to NHS, benefits etc it needs to stop. The left and those who live in a bubble can continue to be blind but the rest od the demographic is waking up, and what farage has announced today with mass deportations and British born people first is absolutely right. Equality and rights have gone to extreme, time for a change. And i will not be argued or told im racist again by anyone on here. Wake up.

let's gooooooo literally half of BRAT being an auto-qualifier for 2024 hahaha

Why is this giving me ideas

The Avril hype was real And yeah Harry you can still vote if you’ve not entered!

Something to note, is that she’s called ‘Mayhem’ as ‘TOTAL MAYHEM’ and ‘Dead Dance’ as ‘The Dead Dance’. Total Mayhem sounds like a deluxe is coming…

I thought it was one of the most wholesome cinema experiences I've had to date. It was so cute hearing everyone singing (not me though - my anxiety wouldn't allow it! Lmao)

LMAO at Kat saying ‘you remember Zoe?’ to Anthony as if he’d have forgotten someone he’d been engaged to 😂

Are you completely allergic to being polite or what? I'm really holding myself back right now but you've gone right down in my estimation after making this post. Slagging my personal history. Acting like I'm stupid. Acting like I'm making things up, for what was a friendly warning to you and people like you to not let yourselves turn into basically monsters. 'You cannot know their history'. Yet that means you're going to assume the absolute worst based on nothing, based on prejudice because they're brown and don't speak English with fluency, that's enough to COMPLETELY damn them and throw in the bin any prospect that people have potential to change of grow or become something other than what they are at 20 or 30. That was thr thrust of my post. Granny wasn't a nurse when she came, and she didn't have great English. She CHOSE to change those things, and she inspired her whole family to do the same, and as a result, the British state and British people benefited. Would love to hear what your contribution is.

Where she called for people to set fire to a hotel. I don't know why you're dismissing that as just anger like she's a 6 year old with no control over their emotions.

Was hoping John Fogerty would be top 20 in the albums. Hopefully he can score his first top 40 album on Friday!

Not sure really. He's had a shaky start but he does go through periods like this. He's in the final year of his contract and Madrid are courting him. But another issue we have really is without Trent we struggle to build up play from out of the back. This will come in time, but it's why I am a fan of Guehi, as his passing is so much better than Konate's. We definitely needed an attacker though. Think we will really struggle with the options we have otherwise. Really does seem even if Isak does stay he's not going to sign a new contract and basically sulk until January.

I think everything apart from “TV Off” will clear 295k, so “Rein Me In” will have to go some.

Really am hooked on my entry this month. Male vocals, very 2006-2009 coded brash, electronic, Cobra Starship-ish feels. Doesn't necessarily feel like the lane I'd usually go down but I keep coming back to it so gonna run with it.

I know right rookie mistake for someone so obsessed with chart records shocking behaviour 🙄

Sorry but the physicals look incredible ‘in real life’ from Jade’s latest post you can tell everything’s been so well produced! The printed inner sleeves, the Mini Jade’s on the vinyl centre (different for each vinyl) the gatefold and booklets! The picture disc actually looks sooo much better in person I’m tempted now! The artwork is so unique and creative and I can’t wait to get all my copies and celebrate it even happening after all the drama 😂

Sales are in but we only have the #1 for each chart unfortunately.

Premieres Tuesday 7th October on Shudder! @J00prstar @152chris

Oh dear, it seems Liam is presenting himself to us and it isn’t particularly pretty. Where I can see some logic in what he’s saying (very warped and way too generalised logic) it’s clear that there is a bias there that he refutes. It seems so easy for people to forget that the supposed dangers posed by immigrants are actually existing in the people who were born and bred in Britain. The only pedophile I’ve ever known personally (and was friends with before I knew what he was) was a white British person. He didn’t present as some weirdo hanging around children. He was hiding in plain sight. He attended every social occasion and always had a girlfriend who was an adult. That is why when the truth was revealed, myself and my friends had one of the worst years of our lives. Another white British person I’d been friends with in school is now into the second year of his prison sentence for rape. He was everyone’s friend, very popular in my village. The point is that none of this has made me overly suspicious of white British people despite the only pedos and rapists I’ve known fit that box. You can’t say ‘we don’t know who they are, they could be criminals, we won’t grant them asylum’ purely based on the actions of a few. If you then don’t do that for the people who live here already, I’m afraid that there is a nasty bias there. Oh, and safeguarding checks are only any good if someone already has a criminal record. How do you think teachers and police who abuse their positions get there in the first place. If a criminal hasn’t been caught yet, there’s no way for any of these establishments to know what they are.

The noise is shifting on the Isak saga again, seems he’s told PIF face to face he wants to go. I’m beyond bored of this storyline now, seems he’s either going to come or rot in the reserves.

After my Taylor swift experience where everyone was silent i refuse to go to singalongs 🤣🤣

'Cook Me Down' would make a great song title.

What is my worldview on this issue and in what way does it actively endanger people's lives? I can go through the rest with you after we get that sorted. As for not making it an emotional or emotive issue, I think that really is the meat of the whole thing. That you don't seem to understand that it IS an emotive issue when negative emotion that is then going to be, or is encouraged to be, directed against ALL immigrants or descendants of immigrants, is being stirred up by people who are white English. What may be a hypothetical for a white English person to talk about and maybe even get angry over and start hurling assumptions and accusations around, all as hypotheticals, can actually lead to REAL negative sentiment catching on with people like the rioters who then go on to ACTUALLY physically target anyone that vaguely fits that description in their mind, whether its because of the way they speak English or the way that they look. Idk. I think the thing that gets me is that out of everyone on the forum I'm actually NOT particularly far left or have certain views that a lot of other people have. And I do believe in being wary around new people. What I can't get on board with though is logic like '5000 people came in on boats and 50 of them committed a crime since they came. That means that the other 4950 are just as guilty and they should all be treated the same'.

Margaret was released ages ago. The hype for that song is pretty non-existent now. We're never "as" strict on the veto process here and we all agreed that it was past it's sell-by-date enough and allowed it. However, some of you did take the mickey a little bit!!!!!!! LMAO. (I don't know who did try it - please don't make yourself known!!!) Why would we allow Avril Lavigne who won a huge pop forum contest mere weeks/months ago?? LMAO! The rest were debatable and fair tries though.

Ooh an all new top 6 in albums won't be like that come Friday probably, but would be nice to see oasis out of top 5 🤣

Perrie Edwards has reportedly chosen to include a song about her ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson on her debut solo album. The singer, 32, had hinted that there would be a track about her former pal on her upcoming record, but fans assumed it had been canned after she admitted she scrapped many of the songs she had planned. But according to The Sun, Perrie's track about Jesy will still feature on the album, which will be released on September 26, and it's been aptly titled Goodbye My Friend. However, rather than be a 'negative' take on Perrie's friendship with Jesy, sources have revealed that it's more of a 'love letter' to their bond. They said: 'Perrie re-did her album as she didn't feel she connected with it. 'However, the track about Jesy has always been very close to her heart. Rather than being negative in any way, it's a love letter to Jesy and the bond they had. 'There is no communication right now, but some are hoping it could be an olive branch.'

A listenthrough will hopefully be organised for early next week btw...details to come, but @awardinary has kindly offered to help me with that as I'm away for a bit, but will hope to make it to the session!

Love that the likes of Porter Robinson, Heidi Montag and Toto can co-exist in a contest on here! I think most of these should be new to me so looking forward to getting stuck in.

Well the Scottish kids holidays are over now so she should be 🫣🤣

That last batch is full of good songs. Antmusic and Love On The Rocks are my favourite songs by those two artists and Stop The Cavalry is always welcome to hear every Christmas. I have a copy of the Flash Gordon soundtrack album, the 'Flash' single doesn't appear on it in the same form as it's made up from different tracks, most of which include spoken parts by the cast, but it still works on its own. Don't Walk Away by ELO is fairly unique in that it has two different choruses. The part after the first verse has the song title repeated a few times so could be interpreted as the chorus but the next section could also be called a chorus. Both melodies are used again after the second verse. AI is telling me the third part is the chorus but a lyrics website says the second part is the chorus and the third part is the post chorus. I was able to send an email to Jeff Lynne recently, his management gave out an address to send him messages as he was unable to complete his farewell tour and was recuperating at home. They said he would read every email. If he receives thousands of them, I'm not convinced he will read every one but I would like to hope that he might get round to reading mine.

The only thing propping up the labour market in the UK is immigration, the birth rate fell to 1.44 last year (lowest on record, since 1938) and it's likely to continue to fall. There are schools in the local area that are having to close because of rapidly falling pupil numbers. Therefore, we have to face the reality that the population of the UK is rapidly aging, a serious issue that Japan has been battling with since 1990 and has yet to resolve (despite finally relaxing its attitude to allow immigration). There is a structual ageing of our population, with all its associated problems, effectively baked in for at least the next century. The protests against immigration are generally of the order of around 100 or so - they do not in any way represent the opinion of the wider public, and are massively dwarfed by the protests against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. However, the billionaire backed press, and recently regrettably the BBC, have decided it is in their interest to amplify the voices of wives of Conservative councillors who spend their spare time calling for the public to burn down hotels full of refugees. This country has always had a mostly positive history with welcoming immigrants, from Jewish immigrants in the 1930s, the post-war rebuilding from the Commonwealth in the 50s and 60s and even recently the Ukranian women and children in 2022. An Estonian women in the town here built a business from scratch that has generated significant improvement to the area and brings in people from all around the local area - I think there are generally more positive cases that are, in general, largely overlooked. On the OP question, I personally think that Reform have a very small chance of forming a government at the next GE, the polling has always overestimated their share of the vote and when it comes to a national election I think people are minded to retreat to the safety of what they know and trust, especially against unknowns that could be as damaging and potentially destructive as having Farage as PM. Our FPTP system actually works against any ascendant new party, so whilst they could conceivably rack up north of 20% that may only translate into 50 or 60 seats as long as there is collaboration with the more progressive voices and my god Starmer is going to make that incredibly difficult.. Finally - wrt benefits. A significant number of those receiving benefits are in work. Where you have a point is housing benefit, a huge sum of money handed over from us to wealthy landlords which is a huge waste and should be reduced with more council housing built and reduced rents offered instead of forcing everyone into an already saturated rental market.

Breakin’ Dishes! Song of the summer is coming.

Love the new banner *.* Chappell's first ~ever~ multichart #1 arrives How often does it happen that a long-running #1 drops straight out of the top 3, there were at least a couple last year too - unlucky for BLACKPINK who may have missed their chance now!

“The Best Things In Life Are Free” was terminally overplayed by my local radio station - even well into the ‘00s it was still a big favourite. So I’d quite happily never hear it again.

To think they were all kicking off when they announced that the man involved in the Liverpool attack in May was white. It's almost as though they actively wanted to blame a non-white person.

It really growing with each listen, definitely agree with the second half being annoyingly catchy

Everything about it is horrendous tbh lol

1991 was definitely quite mid overall, but I’d rank them: 1 3AM Eternal 2 Black or White 3 More Than Words 4 Should I Stay Or Should I Go 5 Sit Down 6 When You Tell Me That You Love Me 7 Let’s Talk About Sex 8 Sunshine On a Rainy Day 9 Get Ready For This 10 Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me I really like the top 3 but wouldn’t choose to listen to any of the others really

K-pop works in mysterious ways lol. On paper it is wild that an artist whose: - biggest single peak here is #17 - has never managed more than silver certified singles - has a #1 and #2 album, one silver & one gold …is able to do two nights at Wembley Stadium! Good for them though, but it is odd. Like you have Sugababes who could only manage one arena tour during their 2000-11 run & otherwise did theatres - despite multi Platinum albums, quite a few #1 singles and numerous Top 10s. No chance of them ever being able to do Wembley Stadium as a headline act despite the stats they have!

Yes awful
