Blow Your Mind (Mwah!) • Fourth Single
This is the personality bop she needed - so charismatic and full of pop goodness.

Carly Rae Jepsen - E•MO•TION: Side B
Higher, Fever, Cry, Roses, and The One (less so) could have all easily been on Side A and been some of the best. She's the gift that keeps on giving.

Marina and the Diamonds in every song she's ever released

Still Falling For You | Soundtrack Single
It reminds me of a cross between Army and a Tove Lo album track, so, not an immediate hit, but still great.
-
Katy B - Honey
I Wanna Be is crazy good - they really should have pushed it as the first single, hopefully it picks up steam over Summer.
-
Iggy Azalea - Team
She has nailed every performance of this, I hope it translates to a fairly consistent hit for her.

Round 7: Doctor Who Series 8-9 • Least Favourite
Did people REALLY enjoy Deep Breath more than Listen?!

"ANTI" // 8th Album
This album is CRAZY good. It's like the final transition into the music Rihanna actually wants to make that started with Talk That Talk. I mean can you see her listening to the dance/pop bangers she's released in the past? I think the fans who only want that kind of music from her shouldn't really be Rihanna fans in 2016 anyway, there's plenty of other artists who fulfill that quota. I hope she isn't caught too much in the middle in terms of critical acclaim and commercial success as it would be such a waste ala Marina.

Nina Nesbitt - Chewing Gum
Very much the highlights of Demi's last era and Tove Lo, so, inevitably, I LOVE this.

Doctor Who: Series 9
This is soon becoming my favourite season of Nu Who! I've loved the first 6 episodes, and the Zygon two parter looks great, the found footage idea of Sleep No More is very intriguing and has the potential to be a Nu Blink if successful, Face The Raven's should be great too if the premise delivers (particularly with the above spoiler) and the final two look very ambitious with Heaven Sent being a Doctor one-hander and Clara inevitably leaving. I'm amazed at how consistent this show has been over 10 years, even if you haven't personally liked the episodes as a whole you can't deny the moments of brilliance and the plethora of poetic lines interwoven into literally every episode. I'm also excited to see how the arc plays out too as there hasn't been anything obvious, just little themes like the hybrid, immortality, finding friends in enemies and Clara's seeming immunity to fear (I'm liking how Danny's death has caused this, rather than it being completely forgotten about), and thinking she can keep up with the Doctor, catching up to her.

Adele - Hello
Damn. The chorus is so good it's one of those rare moments when it sounds like it's been lifted from an already classic song. Karaoke essential in the making.

Demi Lovato - Confident
The Old Ways pre-chrous does things to me.

'Get Weird' • Discussion
Play Weird People at my funeral.

Olly Murs - Never Been Better
Cashing in on the new Star Wars film, I see.

Selena Gomez 'Revival'
After all the pessimism in here, I'm actually very pleasantly surprised by this! Some great production and vibes throughout, which let's be honest is what you look for in a Selena album because you certainly cannot rely on the vocals. No idea why Same Old Love was released, at all.
-
CHVRCHES - Every Open Eye
I'm actually really, really enjoying this. I loved their first, and Leave A Trace so I'm not sure why I'm so shocked. The run of the first five tracks is brilliant. As are the last 5 tracks. And High Enough To Carry You Over. Okay, it's all great stuff.

Clean Bandit feat. Marina and the Diamonds - Disconnect
Either way, the cover is delightfully cute.

'Get Weird' • Discussion
I genuinely think this is more instant than Black Magic :o
-
Melanie Martinez - Cry Baby
http://noisey.vice.com/blog/stream-melanie...but-lp-cry-baby Official stream! This is actually so so good. The most successful vision execution for a pop album in such a long time. Musically, it's as if Lana and Lorde and Marina had an angsty 14 year old daughter.

How Deep Is Your Love (with Disciples) • Standalone Release
Rather unfortunate the first line sounds like "I want you to breed me", considering the connotations of the title.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 24th July 2015
I genuinely think Glitterball received a relatively late boost/low preorders because no one knew it was called Glitterball until it was on the iTunes front page.
-
CHVRCHES - Every Open Eye
The lyrics alone elevate it above any of those two's recent output. I, on the other hand, am utterly in love with this though. It's the kind of understated song that you can leave on repeat for hours and it'll still sound crazy good. It perhaps could have done with a more explosive climax (/an actual middle 8) ala Tether but yeah colour me excited for the album.

Foxes - Body Talk
She ALWAYS has amazing videos doesn't she? Really knows how to work a shoestring budget.
