Great to see the surge in support for the Greens under Zack. I just watched his interview with Piers Mor(g)an and found it so refreshing to watch someone being prepared to stand up for their beliefs and principles when faced with tired, overused and entirely unserious questions. I'm in contrast brought to mind of ppl like Penny Mordaunt, who is clearly a decent and fair person with fairly progressive views (for a Tory) throwing trans people under a bus in order to improve her leadership bid in 2022. What I'm basically saying is, to quote the late great Tony Benn: he's a signpost man. <3

I see no issues, love that signature for me

Praying for a Bea Hamill return 😍

Plot twist... That IS the signature Lindsey wanted!

Miley??? Tyler??? MK??? 5SOS??? Oskar Med K and Khalid??? Demi??? Madison??? PinkPantheress with her remix songs??Remember Monday???? Maisie Peters???? Surely all those deserve at least a spot on the playlist

I suspect it had a bigger drop than that on Amazon. Its combined sales are down by 1,360.

You mean because of the Taylor songs falling away? They’re no more than 3% of the market anyway so if they drop by 1/3rd say it only contributes a 1% decline, and most declining songs will generally drop by more than that.

Hello! Great to see ocean hit #1 for you. I'm quite enjoying it, still not quite ready to chart it yet though. Our revival is fab, glad to see that also doing well. Where is my husband is brilliant. Took me a wee bit but I'm proper on board now. Sugar on my tongue is a bop. Tyler, the creator has well and truly appeared on my radar this year. Yass Tate. Tit for tat is amazing. This sexy Tate era has been phenomenal. Fab chart 😀

PAAAAAAAAAAAST Hoe Cakes picking up a certificate one week after MM..FOOD 🎂 SUPA!

If she’s playing herself this is pretty camp and iconic! If ever there’s a movie where she can play herself I think this is it as she is very much a fashion icon! It’ll probably be very brief and even less screen time than Wednesday but I’m here for it! I wonder as well if there’s a soundtrack attached with a Gaga song new (or old) to be used as well? Our girls quite the soundtrack queen as of late ❤️

I’m a bit gutted for her and hope she’s not too upset by this it’s almost the norm in 2025 that we see albums completely drop off the chart after a high debut though. Jade was actually ahead of her on streaming last week and then with the mids position I almost expected it.

He knows. Great praise here

That Sam and Mark song is rubbish. I don't think I have ever heard it. I remember the kids at my school raving over that 'Babycakes' song. Looking back it was nothing special. Judging by this list, 2004 is not looking like a vintage year for Number 1 singles so far.

Culture | Music Robbie Williams Long 90s Tour at Dingwalls review: Britpop is a mixed bagThe new album may have some snoozefest lyrics but he’s still a turbo-charismatic entertainer Dave Hogan/Hogan Media Lisa Wright 8 hours ago 3 stars In the tiny, 600-capacity Dingwalls, at the side of Camden Market, Britain’s most decorated pop star is having a moment. “It’s 1997 again, and normally the Robbie that plays gigs throws shapes and does all the bravado, but I’d just like to sing my album to you. I wanna perform as Robert this evening.” The Robbie that plays gigs is, of course, Robbie Williams, and the gigs that he normally plays are roughly a hundred times the size of tonight’s. He’s here, with the 10.45pm stage time of a fittingly younger man, because at midnight, Williams was meant to be releasing his 16th album Britpop. But, as he later tells the crowd, Taylor Swift put paid to those plans. “Here’s the truth, I want 16 Number One albums but then Taylor decided to put hers out the same week as me so we thought, for f***s sake, let’s do it in February when no one’s got an album out,” he admits. “I’m being selfish, but how many times in your life do you get to have the most number one albums the UK’s ever had?” Dave Hogan/Hogan Media A rhetorical question, if ever there was one. But also one that turns tonight’s spectacle — a two-hour show comprising Williams’ debut Life Thru A Lens in full, and then the unreleased Britpop — into something of a fever dream. Already a global name from Take That before he released a note of solo music, Williams has never really been Robert: jobbing musician, cutting his teeth. But tonight, playing half a set of new material, he comes about as close as he’s ever likely to get. Dingwalls might not often see a slew of homemade fan signs in the front row, but even with the most receptive audience in the world (and, having won the golden ticket from 70,000 applicants, these are they), the premise is still sort of the same as any artist testing the water — to varying degrees of success. First, we go back to the beginning. Wearing the red Adidas tracksuit top he famously sported at Glastonbury ‘95, we’re transported to a time before the whistles, bangs and literal rockets of his recent stadium tour, to when Robbie Williams was a man on the cusp of f***ing it all up. Life Thru A Lens famously bombed on release until it was — poetically — saved by Angels, but tonight goes some way to giving the record some long-deserved justice. Cheeky and cocky in that particularly Nineties way, songs like Ego Agogo and Old Before I Die still stand up, while Williams’ voice is undeniable. Without his usual bombastic accoutrements, you’re left only with the same turbo-charismatic entertainer that won the world over. Then he plays Let Me Entertain You and Angels, and Camden gets truly surreal. he pairing of his first album and his 16th, released a full 29 years apart, is obviously a pointed one. Back then, Robbie wanted to be in Oasis; now, judging from the new songs he returns to play for the second half, that still remains — not least during Spies, after which he starts singing the chorus of Champagne Supernova. “Yes, totally f***ing different,” he jokes of their very audible similarities before addressing the Gallaghers: “Don’t sue me, all the f***ing things you’ve nicked…” He’s also been trying on various other guises for size. Bite Your Tongue and You suggest that Williams also wouldn’t mind being in IDLES, their spat out verses working well within the confines of a club show, however just-released new song Pretty Face’s by-numbers devotion (“She’s such a pretty face / She’s everything I love about this world”) is a lyrical snoozefest. There’s an equally iffy song about AI (Human), one that sounds remarkably like The Sweet’s 1973 stomp Block Buster (Cocky), and a genuinely great musing on fame (All My Life); solid moments interspersed with confused or confusing ones. And then we get to Morrissey: a Pet Shop Boys-style song, written, Williams tells us, with his old mucker Gary Barlow, about the troublesome former Smiths frontman. “Morrissey is talking to me in code,” goes its poppy chorus; presumably, the code did not translate to ‘This is probably a questionable premise’. Britpop, then, is a mixed bag. Tonight’s show — part of the Long 90’s tour — draws to its conclusion after two albums and an endless array of chat at 1am: appropriately way far past its natural end point. There were highs, there were lows, but what do you get the pop star who has everything? Turns out, maybe it’s the chance to go back to the hustle.

As predicted, Taylor Swift claims the biggest week of the year (and third biggest non-Christmas week of all time) on Spotify with 'The Fate of Ophelia'. She also claimed the 2nd, 3rd and 4th biggest weeks of the year so far with 'Opalite', 'Elizabeth Taylor' and 'Father Figure'. In fact seven of the 10 biggest weeks of the year are from this week: Additionally, 'The Life of a Showgirl', 'CANCELLED!' and 'Eldest Daughter' were the 11th, 12th and 13th biggest weeks of the year respectively, meaning this week's top 10 are all within the 13 biggest weeks of the year. Even including Christmas songs, 'The Fate of Ophelia' claims the 6th highest weekly Spotify total of all time (excluding remixes). It becomes the 12th different song to record a week over 7 million streams and seventh to record a week over 8 million streams: *Combining multiple versions did not affect position compared to highest individual version In non-Taylor Swift news, 'Messy' dropped below 1 million weekly streams this week, leaving just 'Beautiful Things' above that threshold on every week this year.

This is the type of music I grew up with so I have a fondness for her too. I can't say that I know what her different tracks are without looking them up but I do remember thinking she had talent when my father used to play her.

And Rd‘Á makes the perfect antidote at just 1:41 In 25 minutes you could listen to half of the 6euroneunzig discography and throw yourself a Deutsche pussy pop rave

"Be The One" is now certified 3x Platinum for 1.8 million units!

Think I'd have had a lot similar, although I wouldn't have revealed either Mcfly song by this stage

Hey Sven! 🙂Sorry for the delay, been on holiday in Spain, catching up slowly! Great top 5 and Gaga moving fast top 10, 🤩sombr almost there too ❤️Springsteen doing well too yay. Breakers: Talk To Me, Save Me, Tokyo Rain 🥰my record of the year now that one. Perrie's sounding great too (If He Wanted to) 1996: Spices, Fugees, Jacko, Pet Shop Boys and George Michael my top tunes. great charts! 😎

David Guetta probably doesn't know he has anything to do with it, if we're honest.

I really like Obviously, it's one of a few McFly songs (also including Star Girl and All About You) that I have a lot of time for and play willingly. I prefer it to 5 Colours In Her Hair. I think the lovely strings and backing vocals and the general wistful nature of Obviously move it well above average territory. Burn...ugh. A big step down from Yeah - this era was incredibly dull from Usher after the lead single but did so well for him. Give me the 8701 singles any day of the week. Never heard the Sam & Mark song, didn't even realise it was a double a-side. Sounds very Westlife album track to me, so it's a pass.

I think the songs I have ranked 14 - 9 are all very close and could be in any order depending on the day. I really like all of these songs tbh but it is a ranking so they have to go somewhere….!

Hi Piran! Wow, massive Taylor Swift takeover this week! “Opalite” and “The Fate of Ophelia” both debuting strong, and “The Life of a Showgirl” with Sabrina is such a standout moment. Love seeing “Talk to Me” holding at #1 too — that collab is pure funk perfection. Great mix of fresh debuts from Ella Langley, Tyler, and Kehlani as well!

Guetta/Pineapple/Tones & I, all Buzzack faves!

Hi Piran, great that we share the same #1 this week. Good new entries from Taylor's album, "The Fate Of Ophelia" is my favourite from it. Raye's and Olivia's songs start to grow a bit for me. Good presence of Perrie in your chart. I hope that her album will arrive here soon and I feel that "If He Wanted To He Would" has some bouncebackability in my chart next week.

Certifications are always about a month behind in the search library of the BPI website.

I keep seeing Zack's name everywhere and it's a major change that being about a politician I like. He's really got the sauce. Even if a lot of it's attacking him or the Greens, it's finally a chance for the politics of good, sensible progressive things to be done in the public conversation (like ending landlordism!). Such a change from the relentless Reform-inspired negativity.
