3-2-38 for AJ Tracey’s studio albums is quite a shock - wonder where the listeners have all gone? I’m not expecting much from Aitch’s album out this week either.

Had this on repeat all day, this is such a great track from Ed!

The Giver sounded huge, everyone was/is just still too caught up on Pink Pony Club. Not even a Sabrina fan, but will take pretty much anything being #1 over Ordinary.

Surprised Friendly Fires wasn’t certified already!

I had to scroll for ages to find Sleep Token’s album under New Releases on Apple, which won’t help it pick up casual listeners. In any case, great to see it doing well, and PinkPantheress too!

Always here for MARINA getting more certifications, such an underrated artist!

Another two certifications for Fontaines, yay! The 1975’s best song, imo, going Platinum this week too.

Not blown away by any of the ‘big’ new releases this week really - Sugababes and Tom Grennan were probably my favourite of the releases that might trouble the T100.

This is stuck in my head.

I am still not bored of this, so good!

Cannot get into this one at all. Now he’s popular can we go back to the original sound please, it was so good!

Pretty sure R1 will want to be attached to the ‘breakthrough’ of Doechii, so will be surprised if she’s not #1 at this point.

I’m eager to see what Bruno Mars has lined up; all signs seem to point to whatever he comes back with - solo - being huge.

Badger and Natasha Bedingfield - These Words

Brit List returns: https://www.musicweek.com/talent/read/bbc-r...-service/090792 First two artists are Myles Smith and Lola Young.

Backbone feels like it’s too soon, but a clearout’s a clearout!

We haven’t had one of those in a while (IIRC), how exciting!

Would be amazing if Backbone did debut at #1, but I’ll be chuffed with even a T10. FYI that the highest C&S have peaked is #5 (on three occasions).

Funnily enough I just stuck on Bubblegum Bitch by MARINA yesterday, fantastic to see that Gold; hope there’s some more certifications on the way for her!

This is incredible, praying it can take off and be a hit somehow!

Bit late to the party on this one, but this is great… Hoping for a return to (more) commercial success for Charlie in 2024.

Suspect Multiply will be the next single (if they even bother with one), but loving Linger too. This is a fantastic album, pleased to see it entered the chart as high as #3!

Pt 2 is repeatable (and hopefully people realise this exists), but the full thing is a lot.

Enjoying this so far (just finished second listen through)… Singles aside, I think the best tracks (Girl, so confusing, and B2b are my favourite album tracks) are all in the second half.

I have this on repeat at the moment, so good!
