It wouldn't be too difficult to work out (just a little time consuming!) - maybe someone will offer? Considering that it was a very rare feat to enter at #1 until the 90s, my guess would be around 30-35%, although I could be way out! I'd be interested to hear what other people would estimate it as off the top of their heads!

Undressed for the next #1 please!

I miss Lawson!

Voted!

Thank you Sergej, good to see there's lots you like this week 🙂

This will always be subjective of course but here is a list of songs from the other thread which I think have been suggested by multiple people and, for me at least, fit the description of ordinary, so if you want to create a poll @awardinary then these might be a good set of songs to start with. Feel free to edit the list! Alex Warren - Ordinary Benny Blanco, Halsey & Khalid - Eastside David Sneddon - Stop Living The Lie Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Disco Gary Barlow - Forever Love Internet Money feat. Don Toliver, Gunna And Nav - Lemonade Ja Rule - Wonderful Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me Lewis Capaldi - Wish You The Best McFly - Please Please Orson - No Tomorrow Peter Andre - I Feel You Sam Bailey - Skyscraper Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song Will Young & Gareth Gates -The Long and Winding Road

That's not what I suggested, or at least not what I meant to suggest! I was thinking a poll of a selection of songs mentioned.

Yeah, I think what we really need is a poll with a selection of the more "ordinary" suggestions from the other thread.

Why is 'Ribs' recharting? TikTok presumably?

No, I think Westlife's Greatest Hits has come and gone tbh.

I think we may possibly have our winner in Will & Gareth 😮

Way too soon to drop a new song after MM! surely he's just throwing a song out for Mother's Day*? *Mother's Day everywhere except in the UK, I don't know why they can't just globally standardise it!

'End Of The World' is fine but I'd put it nowhere near her best! 'More To Lose' is pretty forgettable. Very disappointing era for me so far and I'm not excited about the album at all.

Hum it? I can sing it for you if you like! (though his follow up single 'Don't Let Go' was even better)

I'd say that 2 out of those 3 are very likely to be in the top 10 next week. And Addison will definitely be smashing! Thanks Cody 🙂

I'd say about 1 in 1600 if we're being mathematical about it

OK thanks I think I get it now!

Radio X Playlist | as at 09/05/25 Blossoms - The Honeymoon [3] Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young [10] Franz Ferdinand - Bar Lonely [8] * Inhaler - Billy (Yeah Yeah Yeah) [1] Mumford & Sons - Rushmere [16] Pulp - Spike Island [3] Sam Fender - Little Bit Closer [6] Sombr - Undressed [3] Stereophonics - Seems Like You Don't Know Me [4] The Wombats - Can't Say No [15] Wet Leg - Catch These Fists [6] OUT: Linkin Park - Up From The Bottom [5]

I was wondering what happened to the playlist last week. Great to see Sophie go straight to A-list, 'Taste' is the best thing she's released this era!

OK so I get that but I'm curious as to what the benefit is in including it in your release schedule? Not saying it shouldn't be there but I'm just wondering what it adds for our purposes?

Thanks Seltin! The Artemas track is good, but you might be disappointed at Miley, I'm not sure if it's strong enough to go top 10 but we'll see 🙂

Hey Jordan! 1. Ariana Grande – Twilight Zone Wow that's a big new entry for Ari! I do like the song but not sure it's quite number one status for me. 2. Sombr – Back To Friends Hmmm this is OK but I much prefer 'Undressed'! 3. Ravyn Lenae – Love Me Not [15-3] 4. Lady Gaga – Abracadabra [1-2-4] 5. Chappell Roan – The Giver [8-5] 6. Miley Cyrus – End Of The World 7. Alex Warren – Ordinary [26-11-7] 8. Chappell Roan – Pink Pony Club [19-9-5-15-24-3-1-8] 9. Sombr – Undressed And speaking of which... I'm really loving this at the moment! Willing it to somehow go to number one in the next few weeks. How's it faring in the US? 10. Ed Sheeran – Azizam Another song I'm very much enjoying right now. He definitely knows how to write a catchy pop song! 11. The Weeknd – Cry For Me [2-3-11] 12. Sonny Fodera & Clementine Douglas – Tell Me [32-12] Nice climb, definitely one of the better dance songs around atm 13. Doechii – Anxiety [24-13] 17. Benson Boone – Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else [22-17] Coincidentally this dropped from 17 to 22 in my chart this week 18. Sabrina Carpenter – Busy Woman [14-18] 19. Tate McRae – Sports Car [15-10-19] 21. Haim – Relationships [26-21] 22. Mumford & Sons – Rushmere I would possibly stick my neck out and say that this is the best song they've ever released 23. Doechii – Denial Is A River [15-5-9-23] 24. Myles Smith – Nice To Meet You [30-19-10-7-4-24] 28. Lola Young – Messy [17-9-8-12-28] 29. Sam Fender – Arm’s Length [13-5-29] 32. Teddy Swims – Northern Lights [6-32] I guess you haven't been listening to his album much this last month then? 34. Kesha feat. T-Pain – Yippee-Ki-Yay Yippe-ki-yay at this entering! Big climb next month please! It's such an earworm 35. Sam Hunt – Country House Presumably not a cover of the 90s Blur classic?! 36. Morgan Wallen – Love Somebody [16-10-2-1-4-7-36] 40. Lorde – What Was That That was the question I was asking myself after the first time I heard it it has grown on me a fair bit though. Excellent selection this month 👍

Oh the song is co-written with Mutt Lange, no wonder it's so good

Not really that taken by it on first listen. I miss the Calvin bangers from back in the day!
