Envoirment

Didn't think I would see such a big K-pop takeover of Amazon. Amazon update: #2. "Golden" #3. "Soda Pop" #4. "APT." #5. "Your Idol" #7. "How It's Done" #8. "Takedown" #12. "What It Sounds Like" #33. "Free" #46. "Golden (David Guetta Remix)" #139. "Takedown" - TWICE version Shame that BLACKPINK's "Jump" hadn't gotten more support from Amazon (can't see it top 200).

Oh God I don't know what planet I'm living on then currently But glad to see it went top 40 already! Hope it can stabilise/climb in the coming weeks.

Great 2nd day for Chappell! Also great to see Lola climbing in her 2nd day! That's a really positive sign - hopefully "d£aler" will climb throughout the week and secure itself a top 40 debut at a minimum in the official charts!

Great for Chappell! Hope it holds to get to #1 officially. Been quite a nice tunrover at the top spot recently so would be great if that could continue! Love how the song builds - the last minute or so is so good! Also does "The Subway" sample Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" or interpolates it at all? I feel like the flow of the verses remind me of it? Or maybe it's my hearing

This is really good! Hope it becomes a hit for Demi!

Omg please be true *_* Would be such a gag.

That Joey run will be iconic! Also it's quite a bit different to Ginger in that this will be Crystal's first all stars and it's been quite a few years since her original season. She was a fan fav on her original season so think the stars aligning with Joey as a runner up will go down well with the fandom - particularly if there is a big glow up! I can't wait to see her runways. Hopefully the challenges/judging aren't too biased to crystal though and she genuinely kills it (not that Ginger didn't generally kill it either!). Wish A'keria was more in the running but looking forward to her lip syncs especially Vs Kennedy!

Omg our first openly gay winner of any drag race series? *_* Honestly I don't see how on earth Crystal doesn't win if she's top 2 with Joey unless she bombs the lip sync like no other or Joey Jay somehow pulls a Sasha Velour. I really hope Crystal kills the competition all around - would be great to see her kill the competition and win. I think a lot of fans would be very happy with the season outcome as well.

I think it's more so that the internet has developed quickly and become something a lot of people who haven't grown up with it don't understand and those same people that don't understand it are the ones also creating the laws to try and regulate it. It's quite funny that as soon as the law came in that VPNs became the most downloaded apps across the board The "think of the children?!" people are probably the same ones that plaster their kids photos all over their non-private social media. And even the ones who try to blur their kid by putting a sticker or something over their face which is very easy for someone to remove... The government should've approached it from more of an educational stand point for new parents and roll out some sort of new digital safety resource for them to be more informed of how to use parental controls for things like ipads etc as well as more information regarding privacy settings on social media to keep their children protected from exposure to things they shouldn't see and also to protect their images or photos being copied or stolen etc.

I hope the Vegas residency goes well so she then releases a new album sooner rather than later!

Your wish may have been granted. She's just announced a 33-date Christmas Show residency in Las Vegas!!! *_* Come on Leona get that US push for all your Christmas stuff this year! I expect there will be a big US promotional push as it's so random in one way as it's been like a decade since she's decent success in the US but is now doing a 33-date Las Vegas residency that she'll need to sell ~33k tickets for. It's going to be the most shows she's ever done on a "tour". Hopefully this will be the start of the ball rolling with Leona and new music as well (she has potentially 2 albums now recorded and raring to go...).

"d£aler" is another solid track! Sad that "Not Like That Anymore" didn't do much, should be a massive hit tbh.

I'm going to All Points East and am excited to see her *_* I've liked everything she's released so far and hope she might even perform a new song or two!

I like the production & verses. The chorus sounds like something that will get stuck in my head after multiple listens although is a little underwhelming? I think it could use slightly more punch.

I think the finale was very Ginger-coded so it was rather boring? Ginger getting to choose the song twice and then the finale song being "It's Raining Men"? I could see Jorgeous giving up halfway through the lip sync lol l didn't 100% agree with the lip sync wins. Honestly thought Daya was better than Bosco. Ginger vs Daya to "Raise Your Glass" would've been quite interesting and could see Daya beating Ginger. Also thought Aja did slightly better than Jorgeous and should've went through. Although Jorgeous' lip sync of "Whenever, Whereever" was really great and probably one of my favourites of hers. In terms of All Stars finales - this is probably the most boring/worst one? Not to take away from Ginger as I agree she won all her lip syncs and her last lip sync was really good. Hopefully production will learn a little from the fan backlash for the casting of the next season. Hoping Ginger will be on an All Winners season at some point - All Winners 3 would be the good choice if we get to a 3rd season. Hopefully AW2 will happen soon - perhaps as early as next year!

PLATINUM & MULTI-PLATINUM Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (4x) Great to see this now 4x platinum! Perfect timing with Leona in the UK to collect her OBE and "Bleeding Love" recently passed 1 billion streams on spotify. I hope Leona releases some new music soon (words about we may get something this year!) Billie Eilish - CHIHIRO Another platinum song from her latest album! I can see the entire album going platinum at some point in the next few years. It's still streaming really well - even taking into account the recent tour boost. SILVER Carole King - You've Got A Friend So happy to see this certified! I need to re-listen to Tapestry - such a great album. "I Feel The Earth Move" isn't too far behind this in streams on spotify - I wonder if we'll see that certified silver at some point soon.

For Amazon I wouldn't say suddenly - it took a while to catch up. The soundtrack started doing well/climbing on Amazon the last couple weeks after it started charting in the charts thanks to Spotify/Youtube (various songs started garnering playlist support). It's fairly rare for a song/album to be matching in success across all services. Usually a song does well on 1-2 platforms and starts charting then the platform(s) it wasn't doing well on plays catch up but by that time the song is falling on the other platforms

BLACKPINK's "JUMP" is finally showing up on Amazon - although down at #708. I expect it'll jump in the coming days. Noticed it's been added to a few more playlists on Amazon which should help. I assume it'll be added to more once they update Friday and the song debuts in the top 20!

I want this queen to win AS10: Irene I think this queen will win AS10: Ginger. I think this queen deserves to win AS10: Ginger & Irene I won't be happy if this queen wins AS10: Daya Betty, Jorgeous, any returning queen. If I could choose the returning queen I would pick: Nicole Paige Brooks! Honestly Ginger killed it. 4 wins in a row and a high (honestly she could've won the talent show too). Really wanted Irene to stand more of a chance but could tell by the edit it wasn't meant to be once the merge happened and the fact it's a lip sync smackdown and Irene's lipsyncs whilst not bad are unlikely to beat some of the queens she's against such as Ginger & Jorgeous. Would love Nicole to be the returning queen if I could choose! Honestly given the backlash with Jorgeous and Ginger it gives me hope the casting in future will have less queens on their 3rd/4th tries for AS11!

"JUMP" continuing to climb on Apple Music as well, now up to #70.

Great to see BLACKPINK rising into the top 20! Dare I say it may become a top 10 hit for them? Up to #81 on Apple Music now as well. Can't find it on Amazon yet, which is surprising as Amazon have been quite supportive of their solo projects generally. Although it could just be Amazon being Amazon and it will randomly appear in the coming days quite high. It should be their highest peaking solo song. Their highest so far is "How You Like That" at #20. "Sour Candy" with Lady Gaga peaked at #17. Might even become their highest peaking single so far!

Great to see BLACKPINK on the rise! They're also #3 on the 2-day Kworb youtube chart with 442,228 views for the first 2 days which is great. Dare I say they are on track for a top 20 debut? Hope it continues to rise on spotify during the week! They've cracked the top 100 on Apple Music now at #99.

Happy to see BLACKPINK held on relatively well!

I think it's more so due to Justin + Oasis. Quite a lot of songs having fairly largish drops similar to "Mystical Magical" due to being overtaken by Justin/Oasis tracks. We'll likely see a lot of Justin's tracks falling hard in a day or so.

Good for Beiber, although I find the album to be rather flat? There's nothing on it that screams big hit. Nice to see BLACKPINK debut at #38! Also appearing at #160 on Apple Music now. Hope it manages top 40. The youtube views will hopefully help boost it some too. Certainly not the sort of song I was expecting from them, really like it!
