My...Tuppence!!

This is the station that censored the word alcohol out of a song. Of course they won’t. :lol:

Glad Billie is holding at #2!

Oh bollocks!!! In other news Rishi wouldn’t have looked out of place in a satire. The music almost drowning him out and the rain making it look like he had bird shit on his jacket. An appropriate display to represent the state of things.

Oh BLOODY ELL!! Announcement is over and BBC are still wittering on. When can I watch Pointless??

Everything I said about A Day In The Life I echo for Tomorrow Never Knows, incredible piece of music. :wub:

It's called 'Ocean'. No release date yet as far as I know but presume it will be out in the next couple of months.

Mind Still is far better than either of his songs to make the top 40, so it probably won't. :(

NotJLS- Time charing was iconic :lol:

From the previous this sounds like a BOP and I am gagging for it to be a hit!

This is 100% foreshadowing for her 2024 comeback hit "I'm Back Bitches". It will break Spotify. Heard it here first. ;)

I expect the next Calvin Harris track to be a big hit, although that does have an American feature in Miley. The Central Cee thing will likely be the next UK rap thing to make a significant impact on the charts, but also a collab with an American artist. I'm just sat here patiently waiting for the British indie revival.

I hear Rihanna is dropping 'I'm Back Bitches' soon.

Literally. They’re not exactly my favourites from the scene at the time but they seem really deeply hated on Buzzjack for some reason lol. I guess She’s So Lovely got quite annoying being on that advert all the time but This Ain’t A Love Song was a good tune.

Would probably be enough to get it into the sales only chart these days tbf. :lol:

Similar thoughts to Chez here. I can certainly see in the near future that AI will be used to 'assist' in various stages of the filmaking process and this will slowly creep in until it becomes normalised. In terms of AI scripting an entire feature film, let alone producing it, not likely imo. Firstly, unless there's a rapid growth in the capabilities of AI, the result would be horseshit. I'm sure it won't be too long until we have an AI bot that is technically capable of generating a multi-format response with moving video combined with audio, animation etc... but it will be spitting out Wonka Experience results. Even if it's capabilities did grow to such dizzying heights in the near future, to be able to produce polished and sensible feature films, I don't think the vast majority of the public or industry would support it. There would be a notable court case used to set a precedent fairly swiftly, things like using the likeness of actors without their explicit consent would be formally banned.

Incredible winner! :cheer:

God that "downloads can count but only a week before the physical release" rule was so dumb in retrospect. Anyway looking forward to seeing what is compiled for 2006. A very strong year for indie/alternative music but also lots of big pop, dance and R&B records too so a great mix of stuff really. Also prime nostalgia time for me. My bible for the year at the time was Now 64 which I played to death on CD. :lol:

Those sales between #2 and #5 are so tight in the singles. Really hope Billie can hold at #2.

Is Pineapple's Hammer To The Heart a cover of The Tamperer?

Despite feeling like quite a hit and miss session I voted for quite a lot in the best in the end. Fatboy Slim, Stereophonics, Bryan Adams/Mel C, Chemical Brothers, Santana, Richard Ashcroft & Bon Jovi. Just Celine Dion/R Kelly for the worst. Nearly added Boyzone and A1, but that one felt a cut above the others in the lowlight stakes.

Incredible for Billie to be opening with another #2 hit from the album but also gutted at her not getting another chart topper. Get those cassettes out girl. x

Madonna once more

I think it’ll end up being a #2 for Billie sadly but that’s still mighty impressive of course and will likely be on sales that could have been #1 at a less competitive time.

TIL there's a Jolene song that's not a Dolly cover. :lol:
