Envoirment

Ye things look to be a case of steady Labour government will slowly turn the tide back in their favour with less of a show/big hiccups that reform could latch onto and more positive news. I think as well whenever Kemi is ousted as conservative leader that could see the conservatives start gaining/eating into reform again.

That's true but you could argue that it's because they generate the most tax revenue. It would be interesting to see a map of tax revenue vs expenditure for various areas. Although I do agree with this to an extent to help funnel more investment further north to try and reduce the north/south divide. Particularly as to make areas generate more tax revenue you need to invest first (The SE/London have a rather nice cycle currently of investment/growth - it would be great to see that replicated further north in places such as Newcastle or Leeds).

Really happy to see this voted for - finally a humane choice for those suffering. It will still need to go through the lords and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to the commons. But it would be great to finally allow people the right to die without worrying about relatives etc being charged for assisting. It'll also mean people won't have to do things such as travel to Swtizerland.

Ooo that could be quite good. Crystal guarenteed then MVQ points making or breaking the rest due to everyone else spreading out wins. you mentioned 2 are guarenteed to go through and they're doing something else with the 3rd spot or something?

Crystal top 2 for all challenges? *_* Really hope April gets through!

Also to add we don't know what it's been doing elsewhere where it's been remaining strong at #1 (Amazon/Apple). Nice to see "Illegal" going viral. It's remained in the top 100 since debuting at #48 5 weeks ago. Would be great to see it get a new peak somewhere in the top 40!

Some new peaks/re-peaks on Amazon: #4. Ed Sheeran - "Sapphire" (likely benefitting more than most from the weather - sounds great!) #5. Sabrina Carpenter - "Manchild" (+ 2nd version now at #47 too) #18. MK - "Dior (feat. CHRYSTAL) #20. Levi Heron - "The Glen"

"Ordinary" is pretty much ahead everywhere except Spotify (Amazon/Apple/Youtube/paid-for sales etc), so Sabrina needs a much bigger lead on spotify to stand a chance at #1 again.

I don't think it's that bad! It's just too big of a contrast due to the Bracket 2 drama Honestly if they just had a pure design challenge then Alyssa & Acid betty would likely be in the run for top 2 (+ Daya). The story part of the challenge did feel slightly Ginger-coded. Hopefully things will pick up in the next episode!

Sounds great from the snippet! Surprised she's releasing it so soon with "One Thing" still climbing/doing its thing, but I guess it could even benefit "One Thing" if this went on to become a bigger hit.

Amazon: #5. Sabrina Carpenter - "Manchild" #6. Ed Sheeran - "Sapphire" #20. MK - "Dior (feat. CHRYSTAL)" #36. Lola Young - "One Thing"

Possibly my favourite episode so far? Everyone did well in the challenge!! Honestly I could have seen Cynthia top 2 if they judged individually - really surprised me! Ginger & Daya top 2 the right call and can I say... THAT LIP SYNC!!! Urgh. Best lip sync of the season so far. Whilst Daya did great, Ginger was just on another level - the facial expressions, body language, so much NUANCE! Ginger rightly winning the lip sync and showing everyone why she's back again

Nice to see the top 20 on spotify finally looking fresher with lots of newer (2025 released) songs. Ravyn Lenae not far behind "Ordinary" when the remix combined. Some Amazon: 3. Skye Newman - "Family Matters" 5. sombr "undressed" 6. sombr- "back to friends" 7. Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas - "Bleedings" 8. Alex Warren - "Bloodline (feat. Jelly Roll)" 9. Ed Sheeran - "Azizam" 10. Ravyn Lenae - "Love Me Not" 12. Skye Newman - "Hairdresser" 15. Sabrina Carpenter - "Manchild" 16. Ed Sheeran - "Sapphire" 17. Benson Boone - "Mystical Magical" 18. Tate McRae - "Just Keep Watching" 20. Benson Boone - "Momma Song" 25. Max Dean, Luke Dean & Locky - "Can't Decide" 29. Ed Sheeran - "Old Phone" 38. Lola Young "One Thing" 44. MK - "Dior (feat. CHRYSTAL)" 75. Ella Henderson - "Me & You" 95. Miley Cyrus - "End of the World"

The snippet is SO good!! So looking forward to her album, bet it's going to be pop perfection *_* Honestly I think releasing this many songs before the album and doing so many shows/festivals etc will actually work out nicely for the album release.

It's out-peaked "Azizam" on global spotify reaching a peak of #24 and the music video is already at 24 mllion views in less than a week compared to "Azizam" at 30 million after 2 months! Partially due to doing really well in India. I like this more than "Azizam" - should become a really nice hit for Ed I would think!

Will Sabrina become the 2020s equivalent of Rihanna? Release an album almost every year for like 5+ years with lots of hits? *_* Will be exciting to see if she does. Also Ed's "Sapphire" is looking to be a bigger streaming hit globally than "Azizam". Really strong views on youtube (24 million views in less than a week so far, "Azizam" is at 30 million after a couple months) and has already outpeaked "Azizam" on global spotify. In part due to it becoming a bigger hit in India. Either way really promising for him, hope it can manage to hold on for a top 10 debut in the UK!

I thought it would be. I could never see Denali doing something like that Would've been great TV if true though *_*

April?! Finally!! Would love April to have an Irene-type run. April, Crystal & Silky/Salina would be the 3 going through I think. Although I would love to be gagged and the challenges are suited to Vivacious and she somehow gets through Although I wouldn't be surprised if Vivacious manages to get some MVQ points at least.

Honestly I think it should've been something along the lines of: Episode 1: Tina & Mistress (MIB wins lip sync) Episode 2: Jorgeous & NPBFAG (Jorgeous wins lip sync) Episode 3: Kerri & Lydia (Lydia wins lip sync) MIB, Jorgeous & Lydia: 3 points, Tina, NPBFAG & Kerri: 2 points. Would've been an extremely close bracket with those top 2s + hypothetical lip sync winners. The 12 MVQ points would've decided on who goes through and who doesn't. The alliances, back-stabbing etc would've been even more dramatic I feel. Either way it's been great TV and I'm sure MIB going through will cause even more chaos My favourite queen so far from the 6 that have gone through is Irene!

Hopefully the rumours are somewhat true - would be great to see Morgan finally align to have a proper drag race representation of what she can do. Her lip sync against Cracker is the butterfly effect in action *_* I wouldn't rule out Dawn on a design challenge and I could see Dawn being good at playing the game regarding MVQ points.

So Mystique was a mistake? Honestly, so happy to see Crystal & Lady Camden in the line-up! I assume it'll be those 2 + any of Silky/Aura/Amyethyst. Unless the challenges and judging are completely in favour of Vivacious Although you never know maybe the queens will give Vivacious a lot of MVQ points?

Absolutely not... I would never watch again if she was on every season. A little disappointed in the epsiode. I thought Kerri should've been top 2! Jorgeous' lip syncs also bore me - yes she can dance/move/perform but it feels like the same moves and hardly any sort of emoting. Would've been interesting if Kerri was top 2 and won the lip sync. Mistress knew she was getting through no matter what as all she had to do was not give Kerri a point. Had Kerri been top 2 & won the lip sync it would be Jorgeous 6.5, Kerri 5, Mistress 4.5, Lydia 4. And could've been all up in the air who would get through except Jorgeous based on how the voting went *_*

Watch out for Shuga as well. She screamed serious All Stars contender after her first run on the show. I'm thinking we'll see Asia, Rosé + 1 of Shuga/Kornbread.

Debuts at #28 in the UK singles chart, her highest debut yet. Also her 2nd highest single behind her Christmas song from a few years ago. Also up to a new peak of #44 on spotify today so suspect it'll climb in next weeks chart!

Lola young - "One Thing" up to a new peak of #19 - glad to see it becoming a decent hit! Also Olivia Dean - "Nice To Each Other" up to a new peak of #44! Perhaps her big breakthrough hit?
