Hey Kath, hope you're doing well ^_^ the new PinkPantheress one really surprised me (Irish anthem honestly) but I'm super into it. The Barbie soundtrack is really delivering so far :cheeseblock: Chris's album is GORGEOUS, defo recommend finishing it though it is a long listen! Full of life is another from it that's doing a lot for me right now. And yes absolute Nia banger! Hey Sergej! ^_^ Glad you're a fan of both, I'm way more into Chris's album than I expected to be! Slay!! I'm OBSESSED with Plush rn after a friend recommending it to me, she's playing Madrid Pride in a few weeks and I'm tempted to go see her just for that one song lol. Yes stan Nia Archives too! Hey James! ^_^ Honestly I'm shook that it's still there too, it's more that nothing else felt enough like a #1 to topple it :lol: but I think I've got one for next week! Padam Padam is absolutely going nowhere for a while, song of the summer for sure :music:

Q0E4wVF2a4k Chart summary: No post last week bc I was at Primavera watching two of this week's big debuters - to recap, Beyoncé/Kendrick got their first #1 each, and they're still there this week! Kylie is also holding strong at #2 with her latest flop single which has only made the top 9 in the UK :( Next up we have chart newbie Simona with her banger 'PLUSH', before a big re-entry for Christine and the Queens at #4. With another song at #10 and various entries throughout the chart, he officially takes his top ten total to 13. Aitana earns a 2nd hit (would've been a third if I'd remembered to chart 'mariposas' x) with the Whigfield-sampling LAS BABYS, while PinkPantheress's Barbie soundtrack song earns her an 11th top ten. ROSALÍA takes her 9th top ten with TUYA (and a belated concert impact should hit next week with 'VAMPIROS' finally getting a more deserved peak, I regret my previous choices on that). Lower down are entries for ieuan, Janelle Monáe, and Nia Archives. 01 Beyoncé ft.

She's confirmed something The Loneliest Time-related is coming on her IG story - "less of a b-sides project, more of a companion project". So sounds like we could be getting more of a standalone album/EP with a similar vibe rather than scrapped tracks?

Spanish superstar, one-time Eurovision reject and BJSC veteran Aitana is gearing up to release her latest album 'Alpha' some time this year! She's described it as a conceptual dance-pop album (Mabel who?) with 90s/00s influences. So far there's been two singles - 'Los Ángeles' which is house/trance PERFECTION, and 'LAS BABYS' which is objectively not remotely as good but heavily samples Whigfield's 'Saturday Night' and is a fun bop. 'Los Ángeles' has been a huge hit in Spain and 'LAS BABYS' is doing numbers on TikTok so is probably heading the same way (the kids I teach are obsessed with it). XUctUGKs1Sc 02d2P0KZWDk I feel like these are both quite up Buzzjack's street in different ways so get into it x

Really loving this album, moreso than Redcar :wub: loved the pre-release tracks but Full of life (one of the few uses of that sample to genuinely capture the emotion that the original makes me feel), We have to be friends, I met an angel, and Lick the light out are all really calling to me right now. Nothing is ever gonna beat La vita nuova for me but this is such a gorgeous listen. I expected to be disappointed by Madonna's input being just spoken-word but it works so well here. I was lucky enough to see Chris live on release day, which did mean not knowing half the songs but UGH such a show. Monologues and poetry between each song (which normally I'd find pretentious but really added to the atmosphere), costume changes, even the backing musicians were part of the 'storyline'. Definitely helped me to connect even more with this!

Honestly thought she'd been hacked when I saw the Instagram post! This is one of the biggest artists in the world and she's posting sponsored ads for extortionate pharma companies? It's not like the cheques are drying up any time soon, how does this in any way look good for her public image? At least the Oreos were a fun thing for the fans but I just do not get why she does these brand deals. I love Gaga but she is not convincing me to buy expensive watches, champagne, and migraine medication

Ooh this is a great idea! Amazing, cruelly robbed etc: 145 │ El Columpio Asesino - Preparada (David Kano Remix) I thought this was going to do better since I'd had some success with this sort of dark electronic sound at the time. Still a banger and I think it was one of my most streamed songs of last year! Good: 148 │ Твоё далеко - Теперь не страшно I don't listen to this much but I really like the vibe of it Decent: 143 │ Dora Jar - Polly This is still a cute lil pop song, I remember thinking I had a hit with this but obviously not lol, this got 9 points which is even less than 'Fist F*ck' 💀 I actually discovered this from an ATRL post where someone said it was the direction Katy Perry should take in her next era. Katy if you're reading this, don't listen to them x 142 │ Axolotes Mexicanos - Doble Check This is kinda basic tbh, I can think of better examples of this sound. I have a few hyperpop potentials but I think they're a lot more fun than this! Okay I can't blame you guys here: 154 │ Furfriend - Fist F*ck What more is there to say x

I've been holding onto this one for a while, think this is the best place for it!

The title is certainly bringing something specific to mind x (tbf would not be off-brand for a Troye song, and a house one at that) The snippet sounds like a banger, would be a great sound direction for him.

Very pleased with a top 20 sneak! Quite a few of my faves were robbed, Lotunia and Yehesi especially. LOVING the winner, great choice and congrats St Burbia! Thanks for hosting Kath, it's been iconic 👠 x

Ty Utopia x

Yay ty Skall x

Yass thank you Bøtanikkä :cheer:

Omg why have I just seen how many of my favs are right down the bottom of the scoreboard Dobago, Nelionoir, Yehesi, POPHub and Lotunia need to rise UP 😡😡
