Benson Boone - Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else
This keeps coming up on my For You page on TikTok. It sounds like a really strong song.

I like that we get bigger pictures of the sleeves now, so all good.

EastEnders
I noticed one thing on the live episode and have seen it since on TikTok. I'm sure it was just the camera angle or something... But... Did anyone else notice Lauren smell Sonia's knickers after Bianca threw them to her? :lol:

EastEnders
So sad Martin has been killed off. Genuinely one of my favourite characters. It all played out so very well. I voted Ravi 😞 I believe they filmed scenes for Denise picking either of them so they will just air the Jack scenes and scrap the others. I'm sure people voted Jack just because they want Ravi with Priya.

ANGIE WATTS!! My jaw dropped!!!

EastEnders
Oh and the documentary was really good. Loved seeing Anita Dobson and the reaction from the current cast when she walked into the Queen Vic. They were queuing up to have a photo with Angie Watts!!

EastEnders
Whoever it is needs access to the Beale house and to be standing/sitting there dangling a necklace as Cindy walks in... So I don't think it's Kojo as I don't think he would break in to the house and then stick around.

American Pie ● 25 years on
I do really like her version of American Pie. It was my karaoke song for a while. She seems to perform it with such ease, and the video is a good watch as well. I think it's one of her least remembered No.1s and of course it was left off Music as well.

The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1988
Je Ne Sais Pas... is a really good Kylie song and backed with Made In Heaven was a good move for another big hit. I like the video too with a little bit of acting at the start

'Bedtime Stories' • reissue confirmed!
Yeah, that promo video really isn't it. Bedtime Stories was supposed to be a softer side of her after the rawness of Erotica.

Streaming Services Chart Discussion
Happy to see the PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake tracks falling away quickly, but didn't expect Busy Woman to be doing the same. Nice little rebound there for Abracadabra :)

A Little Respect is probably the most enduring Erasure single. Love Orinoco Flow as well. Always disliked Don't Worry Be Happy and time has not changed that. The sentiment is lovely, but the song is just irritating.

Alok x Kylie - last night i dreamt i fell in love
#27 on the Big Top 40. Listening to it as I type.

EastEnders
EastEnders Weakest Link was on last night - Rocky, Lola, Howie, Linda, Sonia, Callum, Harvey and Karen. It was actually a good watch. Kellie Bright's laugh is infectious! Ian, Cindy, Ann and Junior (I think) were on Bridge of Lies with Ross Kemp just before, but I only caught the end of it. Good to see the actors getting to do so much in the lead up to the 40th.

Nathan Dawe & Abi Flynn – Here In Your Arms
I had a listen to this yesterday and it's a decent track. Deserves to be a moderate hit at least.

'Bedtime Stories' • reissue confirmed!
This is exciting, but I am hoping it's not just vinyl and it ends up on streaming as well so those of us who haven't bought into the vinyl resurrection can listen too. I wonder if this is instead of the reissues she was going to do. Extra stuff like this is what I expected to be extra on those, so releasing it stand alone is a different move to what I expected. Or... It's vinyl for now and then they'll get included on CDs at a later date with the reissues?

Olly Alexander - Polari
This entered the charts at #17, but was #4 in Sales, so unsurprisingly streaming let him down. I had a listen to it this morning and it's not a bad album. When We Kiss is the best track, but I think that could be rivalled with extra listens of some of the other tracks. It's a bit of a shame this album will probably disappear next week and will be largely forgotten.

Isn't Domino Dancing also where Neil Tennant said their "imperial phase" was over and they wouldn't be a No 1 achieving act in the UK either? I think it's good he recognised that (no doubt from his years in music journalism seeing acts come and go and get desperate).

Like a Virgin ● Survivor Round 7
Surely it's time for Like a Virgin to go now please
-
The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1988
Ah, I assumed he was the PWL Tea Boy who got a deal with them, so didn't know he was on RCA. I seem to remember the exhaustion thing back then so can see how that led to him doing it his own way.

The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1988
I'm really surprised that Nothing Can Divide Us was "rejected" by Rick Astley. I didn't think he would've had a choice as to which songs he recorded, which made the album and which were singles. I would just think that PWL would decide everything and he would be the singing puppet. I guess after the success of his first album, he did get a say.

Round 6: Year End Survivor #106
Surely Richard Ashcroft has to go this time??!!

Alok x Kylie - last night i dreamt i fell in love
This is okay. Not brilliant but not terrible. It reminds me a bit of the song that is sampled in Troye Sivan's Got Me Started. I did find myself humming it in the shower this morning after a listen.

Least favourite Lady Gaga lead single ● ROUND 4
I'm voting Shallow... Which I doubt will leave any time soon.
