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!

Casual fan up until this point; this is SO GOOD!

So happy for RAYE, let’s hope she continues to have this success for album #2!

Like others, I don’t really remember this one from when I listened to the album a while back; obsessed with it now though!

Loved the trio of One Kiss, Promises and Giant, so very happy to see all three of those high up on this list!

Predictions/expectations for next few #1 albums: 16 February: IDLES 23 February: The Snuts 1 March: Liam Gallagher & John Squire (Yard Act picked a bad week, expecting them to be #2; Everything Everything T5 too hopefully) 8 March: Ariana Grande 15 March: Ariana Grande (Week 2) or Justin Timberlake

Really enjoying this from the first couple of listens, after not being wowed by any of the singles (hard to top any of the Zeros singles though). Hope he manages to get #1!

23.6k in the first chart update, amazing!

Justin Timberlake (best), Ice Spice (I unironically like this), and Good Neighbours for me this week.

These three are going NOWHERE!

A non-single by Disclosure getting a certification, nice! Hope some of the other tracks from Energy aren’t far behind - underrated album!

Greedy, Prada and Cruel Summer will be T10 hits for entirety at this rate!

Here to help Kylie get back in the T40 (or higher) again, assume best to wait until the Friday to download on iTunes.

Another very different sound from Calvin; I like it - hope it can be another hit for Rag’n’Bone Man.

Getting a bit of Tom Odell on this; like it!

Voting Becky/Sonny and Noah/Sam here, but the latter is far and away the better of the two tracks!
