The Lorde really is coming to save us 😮 I thought it would be an easy top 40 hit when I first heard it but it's now looking like a top 10 debut could well be on the cards!

They do seem to go through phases of playing a certain artist a lot - they've done it with Avril, Sugababes etc. recently too.

I didn't have high hopes for this but it's actually pretty good! 'Psycho' was great too so they clearly collaborate well.

That's a collaboration I bet no one had on their 2025 bingo card. Unfortunately it's also a collaboration I probably won't be feeling the need to listen to again.

There's not a lot of artists as prolific as Alan is right now. He released an album in January and already he's released another 3 singles since then! (This one's quite good btw)

Thanks Seltin! Miley's song still needs to grow on me, but I'm really into the Ravyn one atm. Jade should still be comfortably on top next week 😃

I voted 🙂

I went to the pub last night, imagine my disappointment to find that no one there was talking about 'Ordinary' or the ACR situation 🙁

I mean neither track is a patch on her best but I think I might prefer this to 'Freedom'

I'm not finding this as instant as 'Sorry' but that's not to say it won't grow.

Yeah the chorus isn't actually that shouty, and the bridge really hits!

I think it was previously released on vinyl for RSD but they've now made it available digitally.

That Sam Fender track is honestly better than anything I've heard from him this whole era! Quite like Aitch x Anne-Marie too.

Lorde and Remember Monday basically asking the same question 😅

Jeez, it's only been out a matter of hours, give it a chance!! 😂 What's TT? New Myles Smith?

Are there people who aren't interested in the film and therefore not in on the joke but are actually enjoying the song?

That's odd considering a video was filmed for 'Zombie'. Maybe that's been pushed back to the third single?

Addison definitely coming for a second big hit. We love to see it!

I heard 'Juno' on Capital earlier and then only just realised it's on the playlist. I wonder if it's going to be an official single at some point? Seems a bit late in the campaign but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

Thanks Sergej, 'Azizam' is going to gain lots more next week!

I'd say the early ones are my faves - Don't Save Me, Forever and The Wire. I still like their later stuff but I don't feel it's quite as strong as that first era!

A bit random for them to suddenly playlist 'Carry You Home' just on the back of 'Ordinary'!

I was just gonna say I don't think anyone cares about Bank Holiday number ones but those facts make a very compelling read @jimwatts!

Yeah I'm definitely enjoying it more than I thought I would!
