Tell me about it! I know she's picked up a few more now but I'm disappointed she's struggling so far... having said that, I'm very happy to see Melanie in the lead at the moment, that was such a good discovery!

Hey Seltin! Oh I'm the opposite, I prefer Ariana's previous single! HRVY's song is OK but again the previous single was much better. Well at least Benson made the top 20 here lol. Thanks

No because they don't have to playlist every pop artist lol. What's your obsession with him? He's been playlisted by Radio 2 if that helps?

I'm not a big fan of any of the next #1 contenders so I really hope 'Jolene' gets it, although admittedly that's looking more and more unlikely now.

The British public showing such a lack of taste

Will probably take a few more listens but my first thought was how ballad-heavy it is. I generally prefer his upbeat stuff. And as for voicenotes on albums, I wish they could be banned!

Weakest of the three new songs for me.

The playlists lengths are fairly variable these days. The B-list sometimes has 15, sometimes 14. The fact that there's one less song on the playlist this week is because there were 11 songs on the C-list last week and only 10 this week!

Post now updated. Wish I could say it was worth the wait! Surprised to see Bebe A-listed and also to see HUGEL booted off when it's still riding high in the charts.

Thanks DaTilt, I'm enjoying 'Petal' but not as much as the previous single!

Not sure why you think they'd ever add James Blunt!

Ooh I'm really enjoying this! (but then I also loved 'Count On Me')

Both this and Believe Me Now? are great albums, I just hope the third one can live up.

'Israelism' is a bop! What's peculiar about its inclusion?

It's definitely one of those two things!

Thanks Sergej, good to see there's plenty you're enjoying this week Hey James! Sombr will probably get a 3rd week tbh, it's so good and there's not too much competition around atm. For me it goes Drop Dead > Stupid Song > The Cure, but all 3 are great. Watch It Burn? More like watch it smash! 'Ain't In LA' is gonna be shooting up my chart methinks, I'm loving it I wouldn't get your hopes up about 'Wink Wink', I'm just not feeling Charli this era. Thanks

Hi Seltin! Good to see Adela climbing. I just voted

The title of 'Why'd You Come In Here Looking Like That' really did get cut off at the most unfortunate place didn't it

Thanks, I definitely missed that

Don't think anyone's mentioned it yet but Snoop Doggy Dogg - What's My Name? Also the Pet Shop Boys recorded a song called 'We're The Pet Shop Boys' (which Robbie Williams later covered on his Rudebox album)

That's a great video! Catchy song too.

Sadly being released about 15 years too late to chart.
