That snippet sounds brilliant. The cover of Encore looks awesome - we should SO get a CD , but guessing it's not happening. Why oh why the December release amongst all those damn Christmas songs. It has to smash in January, okay!

Is there anything recent in the Steps Musical? Felt a bit like this was to promote that again? Or the producers might have dictated only older songs? Have to say that I don't watch Strictly very often, but put the start on iPlayer just to see this and it was incredible. I smiled throughout the whole performance.

Going to put this out there as been thinking it for a while, but how about Zoe's stalker being Freddie? He has had a few chats with her where he's been nice, but it could be to throw her off. He has access to the upstairs of the pub and no-one would find it odd, his motive would be what Zoe has done to Nanny Jean, Stacey and breaking up the family. And he's leaving, so when he's found out he moves away from the Square. Just an idea. I doubt the current writers would think of such a thing though.

The Day That I Die is such a heartbreakingly good song. Deserves to be much higher. It does remind me a bit of No Promises by Shane Ward though (that's a random comparison for you!)

I never liked this song when Gary Barlow released it. It's nice as a Madonna song, in a Not-Good-Enough-To-Be-An-Original-Bedtime-Stories-Album-Track kind of way. Despite the fact that iTunes means very little these days, it's good to see her making #1 on it in the UK.

I actually really like this song, but I preferred it when I listened to it this morning rather than with the video. Having said that, the video is cool as well. Not sure Katy will be expected to have a major hit in 2025, but it's a decent enough track. (and considerably better than Woman's World)

This is really bloody good, innit!! Would be brilliant to see her with another Top 10. I'm not even going to think about a Top 5 yet, let alone anything four places higher! (It would also be good to have a new proper Christmas song make that top spot, wouldn't it!) Just good to see that Kylie is in the Christmas race. Two things... When she sings X (kisses that I got for you)... M... etc, am I the only person who think about Ross from Friends spelling out L-o-v-e? 🤣 and if you ask Alexa to play "X-M-A-S by Kylie Minogue", she only goes and calls it "Christmas"!

First listen of Drum Show is a little underwhelming for me. I think their leads are so exciting that I always feel this way with the second song. Thought the same with Next Semester, but went on to love it when the album was released. So, The Contract was instant, but this will need a few more listens

I'm going for Wouldn't Change a Thing. (If we forget the artwork for it!!)

In all honesty, I'm not that bothered by Beautiful Things being in the charts still. It was annoying when it was taking up a place in the Top 5, but as it's generally been between 10 and 15 for a while, it's not like it's been stopping stuff from going Top 10 (though it might this week).

Oh my word, Across the Sky is brilliant. What a find!!

This does sound really good. Very Shout Out to My Ex. Hopefully this can do something chart wise as she deserves more than the one big hit

Another Night. I had to go have a quick listen. It's not memorable.
