Right better start catching up! Week 39: The aggressive, disturbing lyrics of 'Cleanin' Out My Closet' are a difficult listen so I don't blame you for putting that one last. Eminem has some great darker moments in his catalogue ('Stan' particularly stands out to me) but agree that this one is a miss. Ooh Busted have arrived! My dad bought their debut album and I used to rinse that CD in my room a lot before school. In 2002 I had two female neighbours who were both a bit older than me and they used to squabble over who could claim Charlie from Busted as their 'boyfriend'. I don't think I was too bothered about whoever they parasocially assigned me from the group as a 5-year-old, lol. Back to the music and 'What I Go To School For' is the weakest link of the singles run for me, agreed it's not too interesting musically and the lyrics are not for me either. But they definitely have better to come! Today I learned that Oxide & Neutrino sampled Kraftwerk's 'The Man Machine'?! Obviously classic production but I think I need to immediately scrub some of those lyrics from my brain, especially the "slapper" and "Napa" rhyme I posted this quite recently in the #7s rate thread but I discovered that Aqualung song via 'I've Been Secretly Falling Apart' by Owsey, Jernalism & Resotone, a beautiful song that heavily samples it; this gave Chez a bronze in BJSC a decade ago sadly that version has never been on Spotify, which lead me to the original more, which is also wonderful. 'Just Like A Pill' is my top pick of this section as well and my favourite P!nk song overall 😍 I remember discovering it while at a sleepover, we played SingStar and I was immediately hooked on the electric feel of this song. I soon realised that my parents owned the M!ssundaztood album and it became an early highlight of my music listening. It's surprising that 'Just Like A Pill' was as late as single #3 in the campaign but better late than never, an excellent second U.K. #1 for her *.* love the vulnerability and inner strength on display throughout. That determined chorus packs such a punch!

Having a browse of her store on my laptop now and I'm obsessed with the cursor turning into her! That and one of the bundles including a sticker sheet feels very 2000s throwback.

Oops I'm the sole Gym Class Heroes voter so far

Here is the official poster:

Pre-ordered the marble vinyl with the alt cover 🩶

It's called THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY and is out September 12th - ages away but finally something!! (source: iTunes pre-order)

Impressive for Calvin on Spotify! 15. Blessings (+16) 119. Feel So Close (+20) 166. We Found Love (+4) 168. Summer (+22)

Well done both for a 39 each! Round 1: 30 (The Move, UB40, Billy Swan) Round 2: 33 (Leo Sayer, Chicago) 3-in-10: 1 (Lessons In Love)

Måneskin's case was interesting, where they won Eurovision with 'ZITTI E BUONI', but then two unrelated songs 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' and 'Beggin' blew up around the same time, thanks to TikTok having their pre-existing catalogue to mine after they were thrust into the spotlight. That came into my head first as I remember tracking their progress closely and both songs were definitely in the Spotify top 5 at the same time, albeit not climbing quite as slowly as Sombr.

This segment is perfect BuzzJack bait!

Albania blew everyone out of the water for me! Then Sweden a distant second.

The melody of Switzerland's pre-chorus reminds me so much of Adele's 'Turning Tables'!

Ooh why not, submitted an artist 💖

Spotify has updated. 26. NISHIOKA - HANAZONO bots klaxon

Well done for the full house, John today's game: Round 1: 33 (Queen) Round 2: 27 (Mott The Hoople, Bob Dylan, The Eagles) 3-in-10: 3 (I'm Not In Love, Dreadlock Holiday, Rubber Bullets)

Hey Piran! Glad you're a fan of my top two as well *.* PinkPantheress' mixtape is fantastic!! 'What Was That' has proven to be a grower since my first listen for sure. Can't wait for this whole Lorde project! thank you for commenting 💗 . 'What Was That' is really hitting now and I'm also loving the resurgence for 'Ribs' on the streaming charts! thank you for commenting 💗 the Model/Actriz album was great as expected! thank you for commenting 💗

Congrats on the strong result for chiaroscuro in PFSC that was a great discovery! I'm also loving the new entries from Wet Leg, Witch Fever and yeule *.*

Ooh Miley is a good #1 pick! Happy to see Addison climbing into the top 40 too

Hey Piran, hope you're having a good week so far Great to see 'Zombieboy' entering this week! It's my favourite album track on MAYHEM so would love it to become a future Halloween staple. Some great throwbacks this week too like 'One Kiss' which takes me right back to summer 2018!

I was curious about these kind of runs as well and noticed MIKA has 72-OUT twice in a row in his chart history: 05/12/09 Mika - Rain {72}->1 27/02/10 Mika - Blame It On The Girls {72}->1 Spin Doctors also have: 29/10/94 Mary Jane {55}->1 08/06/96 She Used To Be Mine {55}->1

Oh yes I noticed this on the Global chart yesterday unsurprisingly TikTok related.

Spotify has updated. Huge jump for Lorde's 'Ribs' today which reaches a new peak 73. Lorde - Ribs (+78)

Wow great find Take That had two 1-1-1-4 starts in a row with 'Never Forget' and 'How Deep Is Your Love'
