OMG is a Charli XCX/Noonie Bao/Stargate written/produced song *.* Although I'm actually most excited for Havana :kink:

Forgot to mention her before but I agree Amelia is shining too. I feel like she had a reputation on X Factor, one that I didn't agree with personally, for being a little bit unlikeable and "hard-faced". I also thought she might become a bit of a background character in this too, a bit of a Katie Waissel as someone else suggested the other day. However, at this point in time I can easily see her in the top 3 in the final - very normal (in a good way), likeable and funny. Presuming she doesn't get into any sort of showmance with Chad, CBB could be a genius move for her.

He's just posted on Facebook it isn't a single but I have a feeling that it might be successful anyway and become one in a few weeks time!

7t3Re2VIbHE Are we taking this as the 4th single? I know What Do I Know? was planned, but maybe they've changed their minds, or maybe its just a non-single video? I love What Do I Know? and was very happy with that single choice but Bibia Be Ye Ye is absolutely perfect for summer and is a guaranteed mega-smash. I never thought they'd make it a single as its a deluxe track but it was always an album stand-out for me.

Trisha was the shining light of launch night and she continued that tonight, but in addition I think Jemma and Brandi both really stood out in a positive light tonight! I don't know Jemma at all but she seems to have a very bad reputation, so I'm curious to see how she continues in the coming days.

I managed to get this lyric, it was the one after I struggled with until Joseph told me! "I gotta tell them to myself"

QUEEN OF POP QUEEN OF DANCE QUEEN OF BASIC CHOREO :heart: If I had one criticism I think they should've gone all out with some simple moves to go with the chorus that could go viral, they half did it but should've done it more! Otherwise perfect vibes for what is officially my favourite song of the year so far.

He should have had to have the killer nomination himself after that shambles of a performance

The former midweek chart update #1 smash *.*

173. Amelia Lily - You Bring Me Joy

VIDEO TOMORROW

HDD confirmed that this is coming in Q4 *.*

Oh yes good point, although that wasn't a natural non held back release either of course as that was propelled thanks to X Factor - thankfully :heart:

I wonder if Sorry Not Sorry could sneak into the top 10 before Friday's new releases (and potential removal of discount), would be mightily impressive if so! Demi's never really had a successful non held-back release, This Is Me and Let It Go are probably her most successful (as I presume they were released on a soundtrack and peaked when the movies were releases). In terms of normal singles (not including her recent featured singles), Confident's peak of #65 is her highest non held-back release up until now! :o Even Neon Lights was made album only and then held-back.

Of course if Taylor drops her routine August single then *.*

I think I can imagine Dua getting to the official #1 actually, I'm not sure Feels will get there while Wild Thoughts (and Despacito) will block it but all three may be in ACR when Rudimental and Dua peak in a few weeks time, and Dua has a good lead on Spotify. Admittedly I'm not fully up to speed with all these new chart rules, but at the moment I can see Dua being the next new #1 I think, beating the likes of Feels and Rudimental to it.

Instruction finally making good progress, perhaps iTunes top 10 isn't out of the question just yet if they get the video out this week (which I believe is now the plan)!

I think Isabelle and Raph is the best top 2 in the history of reality TV shows, not just Big Brother, I cannot think of a better top 2. Throughout the whole series they were always in my top 3, usually alongside Chanelle, and have been my top 2 for the past couple of weeks. Deborah was a great third place finisher as well, although she never quite reached the heights of the other two for me whereas she seemed to for most of you guys. Tom turned out to be a good guy in the end too. During both Isabelle and Raph's interviews I teared up at one point in each interview, I can't ever recall doing that before. Both are winners, Raph's Big Brother dream came true and Isabelle's self-confidence will have received a boost no other show in the world could do. This is the only pure popularity contest and she has won it with a journey just as remarkable as that of Saara Aalto in X Factor last year, which is the most remarkable reality TV journey I've ever seen. I really think Isabelle and Raph will find this whole experience more rewarding than the prize money ever would be and that's the beauty of this result. I can't reiterate enough, this is the best top 2 result in reality TV show history for me, I am so thrilled honestly. It's rare reality TV shows give the results I want, and this gave me a perfect one. The whole series was enjoyable for me as well, barely any dull episodes and the only dull storyline was Sam and Ellie but that only lasted a couple of weeks really. And this fantastic result will make it one of the most memorable ever for me. What a feel-good story, and one I think we all needed! :heart:

I just can't imagine Deborah winning, I feel like there's scenarios where I can imagine the other three doing so but I just can't imagine Deborah doing it for some reason.

Isabelle Isabelle Chanelle/Isabelle/Raph Ellie/Joe/Lotan

Now this is a great surprise! I know she's talented and I've loved her work with others, but Uh Huh hasn't really clicked with me and Issues took a lot of growing time although I do love it now. But this EP sounds so fresh, so many hooks without forcing them down your throat! It does remind me of a slightly longer version of Hailee's Haiz EP which felt similarly fresh when that came out, and of course Julia had a big hand in that EP so it makes sense. Not sure which my favourite track is yet but I see Worst In Me is getting added to all of the playlists.

I'm pretty sure Dua will get a bigger boost from her Hot Songs boost than Demi will get with her 59p boost, I'll be surprised if Dua isn't iTunes top 10 by this time next week!

On mine she's been bumped up a column which I think is the different between front page coverage without having to swipe along on mobile, but it looks like they may still be in the process of changing things as we're seeing different things!

Oh well that's already changed since it updated for me! It was like 30th when I looked about 15 minutes ago (and it looked like it had updated as Snakehips was at the top)
