Interesting that we had not one but two acts making top 5 history this week, with Technotronic's nationality and Tina's age/gender. I prefer Technotronic's follow-up but good to see influential house / eurodance music thriving at the moment, with that and Black Box.

Voting for Gorillaz to win (love both the original and the remix) although 'Up' is the best Saturdays song for me, so a good battle.

Quite a few Billie Eilish songs are entering the Apple chart. She's not touring here until July but maybe clips from other European dates at the moment are doing well? #14 BIRDS OF A FEATHER #39 WILDFLOWER #77 ocean eyes #97 CHIHIRO #126 THE GREATEST #142 Happier Than Ever #146 Guess #161 when the party's over #173 everything i wanted #191 bad guy

I’m a huge Basement Jaxx fan so am living for how much of their DNA is all over this I spy samples/interpolations of ‘Romeo’ in ‘Girl Like Me’, ‘Oh My Gosh’ in ‘Stars’ and ‘Good Luck’ in… ‘Romeo’! 🤩

Still yet to crack the top 5 after 8 years of competing but just about beat my previous peak of 7th, yay thank you to all who pointed 'Sunset Key Melt'! I try to avoid artist recycling where possible, as I get more satisfaction from introducing people to a new artist, but I had a really strong feeling to send this Tim Hecker song when I came across it despite Bré entering him to BJSC in the past. Congratulations Addy you're on a roll at the moment *.* your entry was my 4th favourite, so a great winner. In fact all of my top 4 are in the top 5 😍 Thank you for hosting, Cody!

'Roi' was a gorgeous discovery so thanks for that, Frank breaking up my otherwise more typical darkwavey top 3.

Well that was a rude drought until Pavel saved the day, thank youuu

Argh 2nd, thanks J00ps for the boost <3 not mad about being blocked by my favourite on the scoreboard at the moment.

Ahhh muchas gracias Seven for your top marks breaking 100 points and back on the podium yay!

Thank you for the points since I last commented... especially Brer for the 15 I was rather digging the black metal screaming in return

Reconfirmed x (my original entry was vetoed for not being on theme enough oops, my fault for taking Rate Your Music's first genre tag of speed house as gospel, may just hold on to that song for a different contest as it's too much of a banger to slip away)

Ooft what a great start so far I'm pretty sure I've only come top 10 in UP once before, with a peak of 7th. So perhaps a chance of outdoing that. Thank you to blacksquare, Chez, Dobbo, Doctor B, Rich, uhsting & Wardy for the points ❤️

Ooh Chez makes sense for RATPAJAMA. Unsurprisingly that was right up my street - good to see it up in 3rd. 🖤

Excellent entry, Wardy I am a sucker for anything Boy Harsher.

uhsting makes a lot of sense for that entry!

Hype

5 years since this was released... the music video is such a lockdown time capsule!

Spotify has updated... today's standout moment for Gaga is now 'Bad Romance' being the biggest climber of the day! 129. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (+55)

My vinyl has just turned up a day early

Songs: Alison Goldfrapp - Find Xanadu NewDad - Entertainer Nilüfer Yanya - Cold Heart Suki Waterhouse - On This Love Album: Model/Actriz - Pirouette

I'm enjoying this project (favourite album tracks are 'Poppy' and 'Audience' at the moment) but looks like their previous album has been taken off streaming services? 😮 I noticed that 'Mosquito' was greyed out, which lead me to realise that all of Dogsbody had disappeared. I wonder why... hopefully it's back soon!
