JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Echoing the disappointment at a 12 place drop in 1 day. If it can stay Top 30 for Wednesday's update then it should stay Top 40 for Friday.

Which Bucks Fizz # 1 single is your favourite ?
Ooh, a Bucks Fizz thread.... 😁 My Camera Never Lies is not just their best No 1, it's their best song of the lot. The video where they dress up as movie stars is their best, the routine they do has the most stage presence, the sleeve is stylish. It was the first record I ever bought. Land of Make Believe second and Making Your Mind Up third.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
I don't get the Spotify thing. It's not just us fans that are wanting Jade to smash... her solo career is so much more respected in the industry. How do they not see that the only thing that is stopping her being a major UK Pop artist is the lack of Spotify support. Let's just playlist Sabrina (who is just doing what Madonna did 30 years ago) and and Gracie (who is just doing what Taylor does) and forget about the home-grown talent.

The Posters' Chart: 16th March 2025
Not sure how I managed an average of 6-7 posts a day... But I'll take Top 20 😁

How is anything supposed to become a Hot Hit if nothing is added to Hot Hits?

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
It is a shame but, as others have sad, not massively surprising. How Spotify don't support someone who has had a Top 10 hit with longevity, is the darling of Radio 1, did THAT performance whilst winning a Brit, and is doing Glastonbury I'll never know. How is any act supposed to break? I guess we still have Apple 😁

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Yeah, you're right... I am... DOH!! I have a Google phone which someone else set up for me so looks like I am logged into YouTube. Every day's a school day!!

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Odd... If I try to watch it on my TV, it's age restricted. If I try to watch it on my phone, all good and lets me watch it.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Just tried it without logging in. It comes up with a warning saying about some content being unsuitable and do you want to continue. If you choose to continue it starts playing the video. I always had reservations about the explicit title. Swearing in the song is easy censored but when it's right there in the title.... Hopefully won't have too much negative impact going forward.

JADE - THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! • 1st Album
My only thinking here is if she is still working on vinyl variants then don't they take a long time to press? To release all variants in week one could mean the announcement is weeks ahead of the release.

Tension II Survivor - FINAL ROUND
Oh I thought Edge of Saturday Night would be Top 20. It's like you say, you can get carried away with the hype. Jack Saunders did his usual big up of a Hottest Record and I was sold.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
Just watched the video and all I could think was PLEASE BE A HIT!! How anyone can put so much effort into presenting their music and not getting the chart success from it is ridiculous. This has to do something. I'm glad she at least gets recognition from the industry like R1 playlisting, Big Weekend, Glastonbury slot, Brits etc.

EastEnders
It is a shame if Felix is going. But how does someone stay in a show that gives him next to nothing to do. Absolute waste. Bernie used to be a great character, but she's done now. I think they kept her when the rest of the family left because she was popular, but there is little chance she would stay in that square knowing her brothers dead body was dragged around by 6 of her neighbours and then left to rot under the café.

Abracadabra ● 3rd single
Just watched that SNL performance. Just awesome. And pleased it's back in the Top 3 this week 😄

Song Covers SoundClash #7
Lolly vs Celine Dion. There's something you didn't expect to see. I hadn't heard the Lolly version before and, although Girls is an awesome track, I have to go for Celine.

Song Covers SoundClash #8
Haven't heard either of these covers until today. Placebo for me.

Streaming Services Chart Discussion; W/C 14/03/25
This. I didn't really like Shdowboxing, but this is a step up. His name will be out there again as R1 will hammer it with him being on the Big Weekend line-up, but we all know that doesn't equate to streaming playlisting.

JADE - FUFN • 3rd single
I noticed this on Amazon and found it strange. Forget You For Now is a better title anyway. Asking Alexa to play this is difficult. She doesn't find FUFN or Fvck You For Now. I ended up just having to ask her to play "Jade's new single". The song itself is amazing. Definitely her best since Angel. I so want this to be a massive hit as otherwise I see the record label losing interest and that would be awful for someone who is such a fantastic pop girl who makes banging songs and performs them with such theatrics.

Pop Track of the Week
I've gone for Jade as it's a cracking track from first listen. Chappell is good, Tom Grennan is also decent.
-
Steps "S" Singles
Summer of Love as fave. Story of a Heart as least fave. (It's the song I couldn't sing a single line of)
-
Chappell Roan - The Giver
Actually quite like this. It is an odd choice after Good Luck and Pink Pony, but it's decent enough on it's own merit. Having said that, it's a bit Shania Twain album track... Or maybe like when Ella Henderson tried a bit of country. I still see radio eating it up and a decent chart run
-
Calvin Harris - SMOKE THE PAIN AWAY
It might grow on me, but for now it's pretty bland and I'm not keen. The harmonica instrumental becomes too repetitive and starts to grate. Not enough vocals, but they sound a bit parody of a country singer anyway (maybe that's the point?)

90s Top 10 sales- Week By Week- 1997
I seem to have completely forgotten that I'll Be There For You was a hit twice. Never knew it had different artwork second time around either. I was an insanely massive Friends fan, so how this passed me by....???

What's the next #1?
The way that Anxiety has been increasing (from 11 to 7 between Monday and Wednesday midweeks, I think that has a good shot.
