Hi Sergej hope you're doing well. Great to see Ariana impacting this week! My favourite of the new entries for her is 'kiss me' which has proven to be a slow burner for me, what an amazing intro. 'MAREA' is my favourite from your throwback chart I remember entering that to a song contest (the Pop one iirc?) and came 2nd, so close!

Hi James hope you're having a good week so far! Delighted to see 'brand new chanel$' entering this week <3 that chorus is massive. Good that Ariana made the cut with 'petal' as well gutted I'm not seeing this era live but grateful I did get to watch her back in 2019.

Hi DaTilt, hope you're good Ariana smashing it here *.* shame she didn't get another official #1 with 'petal' too but still topping up an impressive tally of top 10s. Oops at me missing out on daine this time (albeit with a different song) however seeing my back-up here is wonderful, so happy you're a fan

All of the love for 'nowhere, nobody' in this thread is warming my heart, definitely my firm fave. btw there's some new merch on her store https://shopuk.arianagrande.com/collections/petal-merch Lmao at this:

PERFECT picks!!! When I stepped down, to focus on modding just one AF, I mentioned you both as people I'd love to see in the role (well returning in Kath's case x) alongside Bal on the team. Congrats 🥰

Some good Ariana album track climbs today. Here's all of her impact on Spotify: 07 petal (+3) 12 hate that i made you love me (-1) 88 like i do (+37) 139 Into You (+20) 141 oh well (+24) 150 kiss me (+26) 160 never get over me (re-entry) 171 stay (+6) 195 big feelings (re-entry) 'like i do' with a Weeknd feature would surely be another smash remix for them

New 3 song EP qué les pasó a mis amigos? dropped on Friday I'm obsessed with the title track 🥰

Oh my if the first two eliminations are Daniel Craig (went for Taio Cruz)

Fantastic to see 'Careless Whisper' topping that group for you, what a classic. I have only become more fond of it over time and remember giving it top marks in that Pop Factor second chance round on here, was surprised and disappointed it didn't advance from that. A very accomplished record, made all the more impressive given George's young age at the time. Iconic sax usage too of course. 'Dr Beat' is my other main highlight of that group so a snap top 2. As aforementioned by Snake, this song was introduced to my by the 'Doctor Pressure' mash-up with Mylo, which I still love. It took me some time to get used to the tempo of the original but I'm far more accustomed to it now, as it's my go to version on streaming, since the Mylo mash-up is sadly not on there. One of Miami Sound Machine's best moments.

Well done John for top marks in round 1 yesterday! today's game: Round 1: 33 (didn't get: The Lotus Eaters - annoying miss, Nazareth) Round 2: 36 (didn't get: Howard Jones) 3-in-10: 3 (I Owe You Nothing, Drop the Boy, Cat Among the Pigeons)

This happened to me as well in Nuggets *.* same with the retro contest. ... Decided to turn this into a playlist so thanks for the inspiration, Mattias <3 has been fun to hear some of these songs for the first time in years

Jadakissnia votes are in! I wanted to point exactly 10 songs so that worked out well. My top 3 is super strong 😍 so here's hoping they all make it.

Back up to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to the album boost

This has debuted at #4 in the U.S. so mirrors its U.K. peak!

Looking forward to the return of these

I can't remember the last time I actively sought out 'Gangnam Style' but I do like it and have certainly performed the dance routine at parties, so it's good fun in that setting! I had a friend who was into K-Pop, so was vaguely aware of it through her, but the phenomenon of this was next level. It's interesting to look back on now the genre has become so much bigger in the Western world. A unique chart moment for sure! I would not recommend the Glee version, long after the show had already jumped the shark the Ed Balls Strictly performance is evergreen, though! *.* 'Hot Right Now' is easily the best of Rita's 2012 hat trick for me too, yay! She made a strong first impression with her vocals and presence in the music video. Although, my mind was blown to find out she was an uncredited vocalist / in the music video for the 2008 song 'Where's Your Love' by Craig David and Tinchy Stryder before this, which only made #58 here. DJ Fresh smashed it with the D&B production for 'Hot Right Now' which sounds massive and perfect for summer much like his last chart-topper. 'Beneath Your Beautiful' is well produced and competently sang but I'm less mad about the lyrics, which Mike Posner also had a hand in writing. Still, at least the title isn't actually a grammatical error like it might seem on paper! The X Factor U.K. clearly peaked in popularity around the time of 2010, in terms of viewers and as an inescapable tabloid fixture, but wasn't quite done creating moments yet, can see why the performance you mentioned connected with the public.

Yes well done Tylky for top marks in round 2 on Friday! Jumping back in today: Round 1: 33 (didn't get: Simply Red) Round 2: 27 (didn't get: Captain and Tennille, 1973, L . S. Lowry) 3-in-10: 3 (Sign Your Name, Wishing Well, If You Let Me Stay)

The obvious choice but has to be 'Bad Romance' for me

BJSC 187tlen - patnik So... we teased a fun indie pop sound this time but that didn't quite pan out in the end! This was the song we originally tried: ...however, we lost out to daine by milliseconds, truly rotten luck 😭 here is a screenshot of the time stamps provided by our wonderful hosts in Skall: This is only the second time we've ever been beaten to an entry, following 'Get This Right' by Koven way back in 2015, which eventually finished 3rd - while we DNQed. The story didn't end there for daine, as after all that, she was vetoed! I attempted 'PQC' but three other posters instead tried her song 'Love Love (Love Love)'. We imagine this would have performed better than our choice but we had to go with the one we loved most. Never mind! It was time to turn our attention to a back up and we did a handbrake turn, from summer indie pop fun to a track with 'death' and 'existential' in its tags...! Very on brand. We did not even know that Bulgarian post-punk music was a thing, alas, a YouTube crawl allowed us to discover the fantastic 'patnik' by tlen, also stylised as 'пътник' by тлен on streaming. We've unexpectedly gone a bit rock bloc with a build-up once again but this was too irresistible. We hope this back-up choice will find its fans! This can be found in slot 4 of semi 2.

The album debuted at #1 in the U.S. with 295k units! Didn't make an exact prediction for the U.S. but voted for the 250-299k band so yay Annoyingly close to 300k but her second best opening week after thank u, next nevertheless 👏

week ending 09/08/26: 03 Ariana Grande [118 posts] fantastic numbers 🤩 we were unlucky to run into a Kylie and Madonna collab this week amazing to see the place buzzing at the moment

Oh the taste of ‘alone with you’ making the cut
