Brilliant introductory episode for recast Oscar! He was a fun presence and the actor playing him was magnetic to watch. Hopefully they get it right with his character long term.

Switching to Friday Hill now

Snow Patrol but I like all of these

Switching to Cascada now

Voted for Deftones in the main poll and Ethel in the tiebreak

Voted for Sugababes this week!

the wonderful 'Digital Love' by Daft Punk Last night I had a dream about you In this dream, I'm dancing right beside you And it looked like everyone was having fun The kind of feeling I've waited so long

Yes good stuff, John! today's game: Round 1: 30 (didn't get: M People (annoying miss), Dodgy, B.A. Robertson) Round 2: 24 (didn't get: Stone Roses, Pet Shop Boys (annoying miss), Dire Straits) 3-in-10: 3 (Patience, Shine, Rule The World) Loved the second contestant geeking out about Now! That's What I Call Music

Great top three there, all pretty quirky in their own ways. 'Funkytown' felt like a welcome burst of joy when it turned up in the listening session last week. What an iconic riff. I only discovered 'You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties' a few years ago but immediately fell in love with its relatable awkwardness and synthtastic production. 'Suicide Is Painless' fascinates me - both the backstory of how it came to be and in its musical execution. The composition is stunning, the choral backing vocals shine and knowing those lyrics were written by a teenager makes it all the more haunting. An interesting moment in chart-topping history there thanks to Noel Edmonds.

Slow Crush

Happy 7 years of 'God is a woman'!! Still one of her best song and video packages for me 💓

Another absolute classic from Pet Shop Boys 🤩

John Lennon's 'Imagine' 1975: #6 (original release) 1980: #1 (posthumous chart topper) 1999: #3 (re-release) 2012: #18 (Olympics)

Great to see Pet Shop Boys in the final *.*

Our favourite song snap streak continues as I adore 'A Forest' 😍 I'm a sucker for that post-punk kind of sound anyway but love how particularly dark and atmospheric this song is. #31 isn't the best U.K. peak but time has been kind to it in general with over 170 million streams at the time of posting *.*

Pleased to see the Platinum certifications for 'Kids in America' and 'Superstylin' 😍 'Say Don't Go' is my favourite vault track from 1989 but feels underrated by Taylor standards, nice to see that silver now.

Hi Sergej! Glad you're approving of those movements :) I did listen to 'The Rope' when it first came out but Glastonbury helped it click! thank you for commenting Hi Piran! Glad you're also liking those songs 💓 'The Edge of Glory' has aged sooooo well in Gaga's catalogue *.* thank you for commenting

Fantasy Angel of My Dreams Plastic Box IT Girl FUFN Midnight Cowboy Poor polarising 'Fantasy', glad to see some love for it in here! I wasn't sure where to slot in the covers amongst her originals but I do like both her versions of 'Backbone' and 'Frozen' - I actually prefer the former to the original

Hi Piran, hope you're good Pleased to see 'Illegal' debuting this week! It did scrape my chart when the mixtape came out but has grown on me even more since it took off recently.

Hi Sergej, hope you're having a good weekend so far Pleased to see Lorde hanging on at #1 in your album chart! The record is just getting better and better for me at the moment. 'The Contract' is my favourite of your new entries this week

Oh almost missed them in amongst the Bieber songs - BLACKPINK debut at #38 on Spotify with 'JUMP'! Gave it a quick listen and cool to hear some techno sounds in there

Great to see the new Deftones song in the Spotify top 100 *.*
