Smint

'Slippery when Wet' was released at a time when compilations like Now and Hits were counted for the album charts. Both the weeks the album was at no.6 there was a compilation that was higher - so it would have peaked at no.5 at least under new rules And breakthrough albums do often peak lower but sell the most. Nirvana's 'Nevermind' only peaked at 5 being another big example

These kind of snap elections to shore up power rarely go well, plus if Macron is unpopular we could easily see a Far right Prime Minister which would be very dangerous. Also of huge concern is the amount of support the Austrian, German and French Far Right hold with the youth of the country too. The President of the National Rally who was so successful today, Jordan Bardella is 28. And in a period where the effect of the climate emergency has become too apparent, especially in certain European countries, the Greens were big losers, currently down 19 seats from 72 to 53. In a couple of countries (Sweden, Portugal) the Far Right support fell but overall not a good night for the progressives at all.

Far right leading Macron's Renaissance part by 2:1 in France prompting Macron to dissolve Assembly and call National elections. Serious stuff.

I'm so gutted that Chappell's gigs are sold out. Resale tickets are over £230.

Artemas (along with Djo) went to ACR way too fast for my liking.

Really thought Teddy would be a one hit wonder. This is a bit better than 'Lose Control' - although it couldn't exactly be any worse.

Prefer 'This Words' (both the original and this version) to 'Unwritten' which never clicked with me. This remix is a couple minutes of manic fun.

It's a safe choice for causal listeners for a Friday afternoon I guess - like 'Unwritten' was

Another great Fred Again bop!

Guess it makes sense this track is back as very similar in style to 'Houdini'. Poor Moby getting the public insult though. :(

I love this Disturbed track so much - so unforgettable and epic!

Where do you get this up to date information about who is standing in your seat? Interested to know.

In 2010 Clegg's Liberal Democrats actually lost seats (although gained votes) from Charles Kennedy's high watermark in 2005 (where the Iraq war was a bit of a factor).

Sunak getting loads of flack for this now from all quarters - some are even saying it could be a resignation matter. Even though I'm happy that's destroying the Tories chance of government even more, I am slightly uncomfortable about this over promoting Patriotic/War issues more than every other issue going. Yes it was a disrespectful, ceremonial gaffe but it does create a trap for the incoming Labour government in the future to appear ultra "patriotic" at all times. Still short term gain though.

Excellent video which reflects the duality of the song with its beautiful and more menacing moments. Very Running Up That Hill/Electric Heart/Bury a Friend vibe. Hope it gives the song a nice boost, although tbh I'm delighted and surprised CHIHIRO is doing as well as it feels more like an album track with its 5 minutes of mysterious, swirling, building atmosphere. Certainly not as catchy as the more obvious singles LUNCH or BIRDS OF A FEATHER. But the magical and addictive CHIHIRO is now definitely my favourite Billie song of all time, and she has set the bar pretty damn high!
