Gorillaz, I think now

Round 2: Year End Survivor #123
Dr Dre, as I have no recollection of it

EastEnders
Poor Eve. Doing everything she has to for the woman she loves, whilst Suki says stuff about doing it with or without her and how the family are "hers". And Suki laying down parenting roles where she is the disciplined one. All before Avani's parents, or indeed the father, have any idea she is even pregnant.

You said it, Liam... You said it.

Alex Warren - Ordinary
Only £3 as well. At least CDs have no chance of putting him back on ACR.

Rank Justin Bieber's #1s
I went for Sorry as Best and I'm The One as Least Best, as truthfully there isn't a bad song amongst them. 1) Sorry 2) Love Yourself 3) What Do You Mean? 4) I Don't Care 5) Despacito 6) Daisies 7) Cold Water 8) I'm The One

Leigh-Anne - Been A Minute
Literally just heard this played on Radio 1, so they have at least acknowledged it exists!!

EastEnders
I have to agree. Suki had become one of my fave characters, but last night I found her awful. She literally used every trick in the book to the point of offering money to a teenager who had made up her own mind and bravely gone to the clinic, with intentions of being alone. It was quite horrible to watch, to be honest.

40 years of #1s ● Rank/Rate
Well this is harder than any other rank I have ever done on here. Nothing that I don't like. Obvious choice for #1, but really not sure over the bottom three. 1 - Vogue 2 - Into the Groove 3 - Music 4 - Like a Prayer 5 - Hung Up 6 - Papa Don't Preach 7 - La Isla Bonita 8 - Frozen 9 - 4 Minutes 10 - True Blue 11 - American Pie 12 - Who's That Girl 13 - Sorry

Alex Warren - You'll Be Alright, Kid
Actually laughed out loud at the Imagine comment. Especially having listened to the song. Also, how do you get to a 9.5 / 10? Your rankings add up to 82 / 100, so that's an 8.2 / 10. You say the second half is 8/10, so the two added together becomes an average of 8.1/10. That's some hefty "upgrading" to 9.5

Into the Groove ● 40 years on
Into the Groove is one of her best 80s tracks. Such a brilliant pop song which is even better when it's attached to her first, and arguably best, proper feature film where she had a big role. The Blond Ambition performance is awesome, and I also liked how it was done at the Celebration Tour.

Tame Impala - Deadbeat
This actually. I've listened now a few times and it does seem to "go on a bit".

Confidence Man x JADE - Gossip
If you want to take a positive chart position, it was #35 in yesterday's Big Top 40!

The Gallup Years- Top 10 sales- 1990
I remember this being my peak Madonna interest and Vogue just topping off everything that had happened with Like a Prayer, and then Dick Tracy and Immaculate Collection around the corner. I think Vogue is probably my fave Madonna song ever. The sheer thought that it could ever have been hidden away as a fifth-single-from-the-album-b-side doesn't bear thinking about!!

Veronica Electronica • Remix Album
If she doesn't sell a single extra copy, last week that sale would have got her #30 or #31 which is really above what I would have expected from this album. Really quite impressive!

Estimated ACR status updates 2025
I heard Beautiful Things on a car advert a couple of times the other day. Getting ready for a resurgence!!

iTunes Weekly Thread w/c 25th July 2025
Surely anyone who wanted to download Ordinary did like 5,000 years ago when it feels like it was first released?

Round 1: Year End Survivor #123
Surely a cover of Any Dream Will Do by Lee Mead is infinitely worse than Mr Brightside?

Round 4: Ultimate Survivor #12
Sugababes... Somebody Told Me and Everybody's Changing are two of my favourite songs ever!!

Round 7: Year End Survivor #122
On your way, Kanye...

Pop Track of the Week 2025: Week 30
There's lots of good tracks here, but I went for Summer of Love. Never heard of Kai but it sounded awesome. Great to have Olly back too

Bedtime Stories ● Survivor Round 8
Secret. Though this was close out of three of them

Song Covers SoundClash: An Ending
I really enjoyed these, especially at the start. I admittedly tuned out a little during the last half (sorry!) but that was a general step back from the forum rather than this particular thread. Lots of songs I had never heard of known about before.

EastEnders
I have a little problem with accepting that Martin would have done a life insurance policy for Stacey to give it all to Kat to buy the pub with. I'm sure, in reality, that wouldn't have been his intention when taking out that insurance. Regardless of how rubbish Stacey thinks she is with money, a nice family holiday and some cash in a Trust Fund for when the kids are older would have struck more true. Regardless, it's EastEnders and we suspend belief!! As an aside, the whole show feels a little messy at the moment. Another teenage pregnancy seems tiresome
