EastEnders
The story line around Bernie going was good, but could have played out for a little longer. All she's done since Keanu is mope about with a face like a slapped arse though. As for Felix. His one-episode write out where he unrealistically kept quiet about Keanu, watched Callum unrealistically kiss Jonny and the unrealistically got changed in 5 minutes to be in drag and then left with next to no luggage with a plane ticket that Bernie had spent hundreds on "just in case" he wanted to go with her.

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Duran Duran are a great 80s band. The Greatest album is a brilliant listen, which just goes to show how many top notch singles they had. Fun Fact - My brother used to be a Daniel Craig look-a-like and is in a recent Duran video for Anniversary with a load of other look-a-likes!! FGTH had some great singles, but I found their album barely listenable. When the first track is less than 2 minutes and the second is almost quarter of an hour long, it just seems a little over-indulgent from the outset.

Thought I'd have a listen to this to compare. I'll stick with Ed Sheeran and Alex Warren, to be honest.

Bop Idol 4: Voting (Deadline 23:59 Wednesday 16 July)
I kind of assumed there would be a load of famous faces here from the UK shows, so it's great to see so many other countries and shows represented. Looking forward to being introduced to some of those tracks and seeing how this all pans out.

EastEnders
I wonder if Anna will come back from Spain for an exit, or whether that's just it for her. Easiest storyline (apart from saying she's staying in Spain) is her leaving with Freddie. Who says Elaine won't stay behind the bar? She can work there, even if she doesn't own it.

Sabrina Carpenter - Man’s Best Friend
Madonna has "paid homage" to others for decades by replicating their images - whether photos, style or video. I guess Sabrina Carpenter is just doing the same thing. Let's copy Madonna by copying a legend!

Alex Warren & ROSÉ - On My Mind
I've only heard this once, but I thought it was pleasant enough in a "we've never met each other to do this collab" kind of way. Not as good as Bloodline, which I'm surprised hasn't taken off any better than it did, but I'd rather listen to On My Mind than Ordinary,

Oh, I just remembered Keep Me A Secret. How good was that tune!!

Lewis Capaldi - Survive
This is true... Which probably is one of the reasons I don't like a lot of his music. Shouting reasonably in tune isn't singing, is it.

Lewis Capaldi - Survive
For someone who is not a Lewis fan, I'm kinda liking this on first couple of listens. It does sound a little shouty though.

Wouldn't resetting Someone You Loved being potentially damaging to Survive chart-wise? If the label have any say in it, I would have thought they would want to concentrate on promoting his new material over anything old. Whereas Oasis had no new material, so resetting Wonderwall was more beneficial?

Last minute entry of a song I have always liked from my fave ever Talent TV contestant.

The continued use of the word "flop" against someone who is scoring Top 10 and Top 20 hits are tiring and annoying as well. Slate Ed Sheeran because he's obsessed with the charts and making No.1, slate him when he's not. Whilst not being the biggest fan, I have just tried to show that a song is not a flop just because it hasn't done quite as well the artists previous releases. If that's annoying or tiring to read then sorry for my part in the debate. (I haven't overly used emojis from what I can see though). Maybe it's time to step back from this particular discussion and all agree to disagree.

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Best Kim Wilde is Kids in America, though I enjoyed a lot of her songs. I liked the Eurythmics, but they didn't get better than Sweet Dreams.

Not to be the Grammar Police, but how do you talk about a song being a FLOP due to its SUCCESS in the same sentence?
-
Bop Idol 4 - Confirmations - Deadline Sunday 29 June, 23:59
I have an idea of a song, but there's no video for it, only the Official Audio on YouTube. Is that okay?

Rossi. & Jazzy - High On Me
This is a BOP!!! I hope this does a Somedays rather than a No Bad Vibes (though the latter did well, without reaching the Top 40)

If you think the Lorde song was also flopping then I can't help you. 😉 But let's agree to disagree
-
Streaming Services Chart Discussion; W/C 20/06/25
So does that make What Was That by Lorde a flop? That was the lead single from an album, spent 2 weeks Top 20 without making the Top 10 and 6 weeks Top 40. Just a comparison because they did similar things in the charts.

Try 12: weeks. That seemed like an eternity to most people on Buzzjack!! 😂

gooddelta ranks the UK No.1s of 2000
Same Old Brand New You is A1's best original song. Certainly not forgotten here. I listened to it only about a week ago. Spinning Around did so much to get Kylie's career back on track, but I've never been that keen. Stomp is probably the worst of Steps' uptempo singles.

Oh my Christ! Imagine Ordinary getting a reset!! I do think it's time for Pink Pony Club to move on...

Top 100 Best Selling Singles Acts Of The 80s
Those latest three ❤️ George Michael's best was A Different Corner Depeche Mode - maybe Everything Counts, but also maybe Personal Jesus Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind. Or West End Girls. Or about 10 others!!

Westlife and Mariah Carey. Probably the worst thing ever to be released. I think I would rather listen to anything else in the world than that. I love the Billie Piper track, but preferred Something Deep Inside.
