Very close results from last week. One other person voting could have swapped everything around from 1 to 6. +5 the cure +4 American girls +3 stupid song +2 drop dead +1 I knew you... -1 hate that I made you... -2 beat it -3 Rein me in -4 Billie jean -5 choosing texas

+5 the cure +4 midnight sun +3 drop dead +2 stupid song +1 beat it -1 ariana -2 Billie Jean -3 rmi -4 Taylor swift -5 dracula

Do we know how RMI has avoided? Midweek posts on here suggested it was well down on streams for the week, while the market was up?

Between Taylor Swift doing whatever nonsense has stolen her the #1, and RMI avoiding ACR, this has got to be up there with worst chart weeks of all time

+5 the cure +4 go +3 hate that I... +2 I knew you... +1 midnight sun -1 beat it -2 Janice -3 Rein me in -4 Billie Jean -5 dracula

The Who and Led Zep for me. Seemed a slam dunk that bands that big in the 60s and 70s got a couple of #1s. I was shocked when I first heard neither had (though later found out Led Zep didn't really do singles).

+5 The cure +4 Go +3 Midnight Sun +2 Hate that I... +1 Beat It -1 RMI -2 Janice stfu -3 Billie Jean -4 Lush Life -5 Dracula

Amen to all of this

Pleaseeeee tell me someone on this forum who's got sensible ideas how to sort ACR and rescue the November / December charts also happens to be a data analyst and influential communicator with a perfect CV for this job...

I've fully escaped it and didn't even realise they were doing yet another Toy Story until just now 🙈 (They really should have stopped at 3, that film was the perfect ending)

The best new song of the year lifting this top 10 out of the rut it's been in recently... +5 the cure +4 drop dead +3 go +2 midnight sun +1 beat it -1 rein me in -2 janice stfu -3 billie jean -4 lush life -5 dracula

I think The Cure is Olivia's best song yet - against some strong competition - but not hugely commercial so would settle for #2 Breath of fresh air to have someone who leans indie having such sustained chart success. This new song reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins!

Thank you Jim!
