Envoirment

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?

Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER (3x) Hope this will manage 4x platinum by the end of the year! Should get a small boost soon with Billie's tour coming to the UK. James Morrison ft. Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings (3x) Such a great song, happy to see it does well in the streaming era going 3x platinum! Charli xcx - 360 2nd platinum single from Brat, hopefully "Apple" & "Von Dutch" will follow soon! Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson - Trouble Love this, so glad to see it going platinum after all these years. Adele - Remedy Great to see "Remedy" go gold. Hopefully "Sweetest Devotion" will go silver at some point so all songs on 25 are certified. Céline Dion - That's The Way It Is Another gold cert for Celine. Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine Great to see this gold! Should go platinum without too much issue - it trickle streams really well and is amongst their most streamed songs daily. The perfect lead single for their comeback album.

Honestly, I can see Ginger delivering in the lip syncs and kinda look forward to it! Would be kinda crazy if she did get the 3 top 2s and win all 3 lip syncs.

You don't need to embed, just post the link and it'll do it automatically (ty buzzjack site upgrade!) I do like how manic the video is

A nice clear out. But at "Beautiful Things" dodging yet again. Although I think its run in the top 10 is now possibly over as it slowly falls down and newer songs overtake.

I think this will be to Sabrina as "The Giver" was to Chappell. Decent song that will be a hit, but not a #1 hit. I like it after a couple listens.

"Pretend You're God" is fast becoming one of my favourites of the album. The last 90 seconds hits so hard.

I think it depends on the challenges as well because if they align right I could see Morgan top 2 multiple times. In fact Mystique could be a dark horse as her drag has evolved so much since season 2. Bracket 1 has me excited as I could see it go anyway almost - especially factoring in MVQ points.

Shame Miley already out :( Hopefully she may re-appear in the top 200 once the weekend is over. But the album is doing poorly on Amazon as well - although I don't know how much of that is due to the Amazon charts being weird as they could update later today/tomorrow showing the album up a lot (sometimes happens for new releases that they don't reflect properly in the Amazon chart until a 2-3 days after release). Hoping that's the case as Amazon have been really strong supporters of the pre-release singles/songs so would expect strong support for the album. I'll be intertested to see if Linkin park get a small boost from their performance in the UEFA Champions League final yesterday evening. Would be nice if their most recent album got a small boost.

The release of the deluxe had the album re-enter the charts at #23. It then fell to 89 in the latest chart which honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The additional tracks, particularly "Up From The Bottom", have given the album a small streaming boost which may help it rack up more weeks in the bottom half of the top 100. Also they gave a great performance at the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final which hopefully will boost some of the songs/album. They performed "The Emptiness Machine", "In The End", "Numb", "Up From The Bottom" & "Heavy Is The Crown".

So many great queens yesss *_* Also happy they're keeping the same format as AS10 as I'm really enjoying it. My only improvement would be to increase the bracket episodes from 3 to 4. Would love to see A'Keria & Morgan get their flowers and dominate *_* Love to see the likes of Dusty, Shuga, Utica & Suzie in the list of names.

Disappointing debut for Miley. Maybe it will grow a bit. Hopefully it'll get an add to HHUK on Monday to try and help.

There are a number of tracks rising on Amazon (including post-Reputation songs too as they're on the rise): #35. "Cruel Summer" #89. "Shake It Off" (+229) #154. "Love Story" #212. "Blank Space" #233. "Style" #283. "Anti-Hero" #313. "Wildest Dreams"

Probably my favourite episode so far! The drama at the start, omg. I felt so bad for Nicole & Kerri. For the challenge I thought every queen did well, inlcuding Nicole! Honestly, I think anyone could've been top 2 - the runway was likely a deciding factor (+ Ru's favourtism towards MIB/Jorgeous lol). I don't think the lip sync between MIB & Jorgeous was a tie. Personally I thought Mistress embodied the song better. I don't really like the half point each as it kinda takes away some of the competitive edge. It's pretty much almost guarenteed MIB & Jorgeous will be going through now regardless of how well they do next week mathematically speaking. If neither are top 2 they give each other a point giving them 5.5 points each. If Lydia & Tina are top 2 then Lydia is the 3rd person if she wins the lip sync. If Tina wins then you'll have MIB/Jorgeous on 5.5 points with Lydia & Tina on 5. Nicole & Kerri will need to give their points to both Lydia and Tina to prevent both MIB & Jorgeous going through. Sorry to do math but the half point really f***s with things from a drama perspective. It's pretty much going to be MIB, Jorgeous + either Lydia or Tina. Shame what happened at the start of the episode - had the points been distrubted evenly then things would've been a lot more interesting/competitive.

Loreen - Euphoria So happy to see this go platinum *_* Mariah Carey - Touch My Body Should've been a bigger hit back in the day - glad to see it trickle its way to gold! Sade - Kiss Of Life This is unexpectedly quite the streaming hit. Over 220 million streams on spotify. Their 3rd highest daily streaming track (over 300k/day). I assume it may have had a viral moment at some point to give it a boost? Not that I'm complaining!

I would rather take too much ACR than what we have now The first few weeks or so there will be a massive blood bath in the chart if it was implemented, but if songs are still popular they will still chart well for a long time (the likes of "BIRDS OF A FEATHER"/"Espresso" etc still racked up many more weeks top 40 whilst on ACR - the former still there!!). I quite enjoying looking at the chart outside the top 40 as well and a 3 week decline regardless of market share would likely open up the top 100 to a lot more newer songs charting. Christmas would be rather entertaining as all non-Christmas songs will be on ACR by early December so we would likely get Christmas domination like never seen before.

I agree. If they just took out the whole "relative to market share" thing and based it on a simple decline in streaming 3 weeks in a row the chart would likely be a lot fresher with more songs shifting to ACR giving newer songs a chance to chart.

I did think that! I think it's the hair, she looks so good with a long fringe!

Latest single release from Olivia. I really like it! Has a very nice summery vibe to it.
