EastEnders
Oscar is brilliant. Had no idea who he was as I never watched in when he was in it before, but he is an immediately likeable character with only a couple of clunky scenes so far. It felt a little obvious to bring in a new LGBTQ+ character just as they had axed two others, and I do wonder how "bi" they will make him in the long-run. Good casting though. I know it was also obvious, but I like the Callum/Johnny pairing. It's hilarious how they keep telling each other they have to stop and then just immediately start getting it on. I do agree that there was no way Phil would think they were together when they were just on the landing in the pub. They're mates. Them being upstairs didn't mean that were getting it on. And I wondered how fast Jay and Billy can move because it was literal seconds after Phil blew up that they were there.

Bop Idol 4 - The Results
I am so chuffed that Fleur is Top 10, and has been quite steady inside it throughout - even going as high as #5. Not holding my breath, but would be good to finish inside the top reaches of the contest. Thank you to @awardinary for a 12 points and @Mangø for a 10 points, and the smattering of others who gave Fleur some points so far. She deserved to be a massive UK pop star, and Baby Don't Dance should have been the follow-up to Sax. Shocker that SyCo handled her career so badly.

Leigh-Anne - Been A Minute
I got a bit bored listening to this. It's fine and all that, but it's just not hitting it for me.

Sonny Fodera & Jazzy - All This Time
This is okay, but no escaping that it is incredibly generic. Have to say though, I never understand the hate for Jazzy when she gets it. I like just about every song she's ever been on!

EastEnders
I assume you are talking about the viewers who love her, whereas I am referring to no-one in Albert Square liking her. Would anyone welcome back the person who bumped off Mick?

EastEnders
I really don't want Janine to return. I'm not keen on the character, have no idea why someone keeps returning to a place where no-one really likes her and I always can't wait for her to fall and be gone again. On the Peter subject... Couldn't help but laugh at the women in the pub talking about Waiters in the Buff and Peter overhearing them mention all the young guys on the square... apart from him!!

Rate Jade's Songs/Singles So Far
AOMD Plastic Box FUFN IT Girl Frozen Midnight Cowboy Fantasy I think PB is over FUFN just because it's there at the moment. The "PB dance" should go viral and it should make the song a hit. But it probably won't.

Least favourite Lady Gaga 3rd single ● ROUND 3
Going 911 as I really don't have a clue how it sounds

Justin Bieber - SWAG
I'm looking forward to listening to this. I think after 4 years he'll come back with something pretty decent. Always liked Biebs, and there has to at least be a good 10-track album amongst the 20!!

Kylie Singles Clash Round 2- 2 Oldies but Goodies
Got To Be Certain. Although I like it more now, Never Too Late was the first Kylie single I didn't like that much 🫣

JADE - Plastic Box • 4th Single
Would be so good if this got a few weeks in the Top 100. Had it on R1 earlier and it just sounds so good in the car in the sunshine!!

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Imagine Shakin Stevens winning over Madonna... That would have been insane. Ridiculous enough that he beat Michael Jackson! But he had the hits, I guess. Madonna the rightful Queen of the 80s. So many classics. Always thought Like a Prayer was the masterpiece, but True Blue is probably her best 80s album. And great for choosing Express Yourself for the video, especially with the awesome Blond Ambition choreography.

Ava Max - Don't Click Play
Just had a look at her discography and she hasn't had a decent solo hit anywhere in the world in 5 years (since My Head and My Heart). It always amazes me when someone gets to keep going like this. Back in the 90s she would have been dropped within a year! She has used the word SOON as to when she will be touring... And we all know what that means...

Does the UK need to follow Australia’s lead in chart changes?
Album charts-wise, I think every track should be streamed (not necessarily by the same person) for it to count as a sale. So effectively, the least streamed song on the album. Why it's the most streamed, I just don't know. An album is an album, whether it's the first song or the last.
