  1. If you think the Lorde song was also flopping then I can't help you. 😉 But let's agree to disagree
  2. So does that make What Was That by Lorde a flop? That was the lead single from an album, spent 2 weeks Top 20 without making the Top 10 and 6 weeks Top 40. Just a comparison because they did similar things in the charts.
  3. Try 12: weeks. That seemed like an eternity to most people on Buzzjack!! 😂
  4. Same Old Brand New You is A1's best original song. Certainly not forgotten here. I listened to it only about a week ago. Spinning Around did so much to get Kylie's career back on track, but I've never been that keen. Stomp is probably the worst of Steps' uptempo singles.
  5. Oh my Christ! Imagine Ordinary getting a reset!! I do think it's time for Pink Pony Club to move on...
  6. If you want to get really picky... AOMD - July 24 3 months later Fantasy - Oct 24 6 months later FUFN - Mar 25 3 months later Plastic Box - Jun 25 These were the official singles, with promos in-between.
  7. Those latest three ❤️ George Michael's best was A Different Corner Depeche Mode - maybe Everything Counts, but also maybe Personal Jesus Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind. Or West End Girls. Or about 10 others!!
  8. Westlife and Mariah Carey. Probably the worst thing ever to be released. I think I would rather listen to anything else in the world than that. I love the Billie Piper track, but preferred Something Deep Inside.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Really? "Didn't take off." It's been less than 16 hours!!
  14. 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.
  15. I really like Take on Me by A1 as well. God, I like a lot of songs that everyone else thinks are pants!!! 😂
  16. 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.
  17. ChrisJK posted a post in a topic in The Music Lounge
    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!"
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Would be amazing and well deserved... But...........
  23. 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.
  24. It's got to be Jade this week
  25. 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
