I became a Martika fan immediately and bought her albums and all subsequent singles. Toy Soldiers is an absolute tune!!

Love Torn. Such an amazing track that has stood the test of time and still sounds brilliant today. And then there's Peter Andre...

I went for Spicy. Never heard either before but Say You'll Be Mine is one of my least fave Spice Girls singles and the voice on the cover is whiny and horrible.

I like Wouldn't Change a Thing and always have. The cover image is not great and the video was a bit pants, but the song itself isn't bad at all.

It's got to be Muse. Lighthouse Family were one of my least favourite bands ever. Pedestrian rubbish.

The Bros song is definitely a step down from their first as album, but it still wasn't bad. Lil Louis was a dreadful song. And Jive Bunny was just hideous. Absolute tosh that ruined the charts at the time.

I've thought about this for a while... If TikTok hits do well, is it because after hearing the song on TikTok people then actually seek the song out to listen to, ask Alexa to play it, or put it on their own playlists. Which means it is genuinely a popular song rather than just being something that is passively listened to through a playlist? That's better, isn't it. Because it means they are hits because people want to listen to them.

Will Young next.

Pink. I didn't go for her to begin with, thinking it would be a wasted vote, but it's the worst of what is left.

I think Mae did okay. She got an album out there and a Top 10 single. Olly Alexander seems to still be in the media a lot. They still get the attention for a short while. Otherwise, why would anyone even consider giving Remember Monday a big gig when Eurovision will be done by then?

I guess the UK Eurovision entry usually becomes a bit of a "national treasure" for a few months after the contest, regardless of how they do. This looks like an impressive line-up, but I am surprised anyone thought Mariah was relevant enough to be a "big" name on this anymore

This sounds good. Could be a (very) early summer banger. He certainly needs to get something out there and move on from Smoke...

I wonder who thought putting a single male dancer, about a foot taller than Sonia, on the stage to dance awkwardly around her? Always seemed odd to me. I like the Gloria Estefan track.

I guess the pre-order will be up throughout the summer and then release it when the shows are about done. But it's another delay and there's only so many songs you can release before an album. I guess some might not be on it in the end - thinking Midnight Cowboy and maybe even Fantasy could get relegated to a deluxe? Or maybe vinyl will end up with a different tracklisting (as it's apparently already finalised) and that would boost sales with die-hards buying multiple copies?

This sounds pretty good. Guessing it's going to be more Ed & Guitar rather than having an uptempo beat behind it.

Oh that sounds okay. Kinda keeping the country vibe but making it more pop. Wouldn't have blamed her for dropping country after her last single didn't make the Top 40 (but did okay for an Ella solo track)

Going for Leona. Never that keen on Wonderwall covers

The arrival of Sonia. I'm not ever sure what to think of her really. It's not a bad song, but it's not even near great either. She was at Swindon & Wiltshire Pride last year as the "headliner", but everyone seemed to peak when The Cheeky Girls were on, so that said a lot about our Sonia. Bought the Aint Nobody remix back in the day. Also liked Wind Beneath My Wings.

Azizam (feat Alex Warren) Azizam (feat Noah Khan) Azizam (feat Shaboozy) If it's going no higher that #3 on the charts, all of these could be just around the corner!! 😀

Spice Girls. Holler was decent. Let Love Lead The Way is a great track. Martine's was uneventful and Ricky's is just okay.

Mad World for me too. The Lorde cover sounds very overdramatic, but I guess it was for a Hunger Games movie

New peak for me and highest level of weekly posts Wondering if I'm spending too much time on Buzzjack, but the new site is just so much easier to post on.

I wouldn't have known It's Alright was a cover. It's not a bad song, but so laid-back. Not one of my fave PSB tracks. London Nights is pretty good. Not hugely bothered by the new Queen song.

I Don't Wanna Live Forever now, I think.

When I first heard the new Lorde track on R1, I thought it was good, but it didn't matter how much they bigged it up or how good it was as it would just not do that well anyway. Three days Top 20 on Spotify is not what I expected. Azizam nearly back to 200k. Hope the warm weather this week helps it improve as it's such a summer song.
