Honestly... Pink Pony Club. At least Beautiful Things and Nice to Meet You are low Top 10 or lower. PPC is still Top 5 and will probably reclimb with Ordinary popping off.

9 minutes long and I couldn't hum a bar of All Around the World, so I had a quick listen... Nothing. Literally can't remember it at all.

Rupert Everett convinced Madonna to record American Pie. Not sure she originally wanted to. It peaked low in America as was not released physically and only sent to radio so the peak is on airplay only. Madonna didn't want to include it on Music, but a record company executive twisted her arm. She later regretted it and banished it from GHV2 when she released that. I love her version. First song I ever sang in public at Karaoke.

Actual lyrics (I believe) are "Cham Cham Chamke", which in Hindi means "Sparkles brightly", or similar. Yes, I Googled it.

OMD being the best here. My brother was a fan. so I nicked his vinyl to listen to rather than buying it myself. They had some goodies, but Enola Gay is the best.

Genuinely surprised and a little disappointed that Bloodline isn't taking off. Remember when some of us thought Alex would replace himself at No.1 with it? It's infinitely more interesting than Ordinary.

Killin It Girl sounded not bad, actually. So good to have so many new songs in the charts and getting to hear them all 😀

Third highest peaking Twenty-One Pilots single!! There is literally nothing wrong with this song at all. It's perfect.

Suzanne is a decent enough track. Wasn't expecting it to chart, so it's nice to see Raye get another Top 40. It's got a very laid-back summer in the garden vibe.

Umm... Say what? I was not ready for these older songs getting resets, but this Black Eyed Peas song is a birruva bop.

Really? "Didn't take off." It's been less than 16 hours!!

Still the best Kylie album. On a Night Like This Disco Down Your Disco Please Stay Butterfly Light Years All being the stand out tracks.

I really like Take on Me by A1 as well. God, I like a lot of songs that everyone else thinks are pants!!! 😂

Just watched the video. It's really good. Probably has the most replay value of all her vids (up with AOMD). She is very Ariana Grande at the start, and there's a bit of Madonna, Don't Tell Me, in the middle with the desert setting in front of a screen with the dancers. The only bit I didn't like was the first 5 seconds, because watching anyone shovel food into their mouth is pretty vile to me. The song just gets better.

Having a Michael Jackson Greatest Hits was a bit like having a Madonna Greatest Hits, you just looked at it and thought, "f-ing hell... The quality of the songs on it!"

I Have a Dream being the best of the covers for Westlife there, but Seasons in the Sun starts with a "few and far between" Kian lead vocal. And he's pretty easy on the eye in the video, so it's not all bad. I quite like 5ive's cover of We Will Rock You as well 🙈 but it's about as needed as East 17's version of PSB's West End Girls.

Alex Parks. Always liked her voice. Plus, all I think of when I hear Fix You is Pete saying it to Dawn in their vows on Gavin and Stacey

It really is!! Hahaha!! Who knew I had such influence? 😂

There are a few songs that I thought were going to take a good stab at #1 that fell short - Love Me Not, Blessings, and especially Undressed. It woulda been good if it wasn't "just another Sabrina Carpenter song" that was going to replace Ordinary.

It looks like FUFN is still on there, so I think they are keeping on the songs that were performed at Summertime Ball. Maybe Plastic Box will be added next week instead? (Though that doesn't explain why it was added and then removed). Instant add to B-List at Radio 1 though.

Oh my at Twenty One Pilots, Jade and Sam Fender all being added in one week!!! 😁❤️

Would be amazing and well deserved... But...........

If it finally happens and Alex goes to ACR and loses #1 next week because of it, I will be pleased to see a new #1 and all that. But it will still be odd that the (likely) most consumed song of the week isn't #1 on the charts.

It's got to be Jade this week

I listened to this first thing and it's so immediate. It has such a good dance beat which at the same time is laid back. Perfect for summer. Hoped it would be a little higher on NMF, but it is what it is. Angel of My Dreams > FUFN > Plastic Box > IT Girl > Fantasy > Midnight Cowboy
