I'm not really feeling this on first listen, I really hope it grows with more listens. The production is great but I wanted more melodies and less spoken parts. 'Bizarre' and 'Read My Lips' however are both brilliant, easily my two standout tracks!

Oh yeah, that's my bad, I hadn't added it to the spreadsheet because it was added retrospectively! Now corrected.

Surprised they didn't add new Benson or Charli, was expecting to see both of those on the playlist this week.

Maybe Kylie is coming to kick Wham!'s ass every year

Agreed about RMI but what's stopping Last Christmas? I don't know see how it won't spend 1-2 weeks at Christmas each year at least for the foreseeable future.

Hi DaTilt! I'm not familiar with much of your top 10 but looking through your new entries there's some good stuff - 'My Way' is definitely a highlight on Olivia's album and 'My Body Isn't Ready' is a good track from Sombr, I think I already prefer it to his previous single and I can see it growing. Really hope it can become a hit officially. That Ravyn Lenae song sounds good too, as does pretty much everything I've heard from her! Great chart

Hey James! About a year too late for 'Midnight Sun' lol but I'll take it! 'The Cure' is pretty good though I still think 'Drop Dread' is my favourite from the era. The Taylor song is growing on me, it's no 'Carolina' but it's not bad for a soundtrack song. Not sure what I think of 'Stupid Song' yet, it's definitely the weakest of the three singles for me but could definitely grow yet. Newbies wise, Katy's is not bad I guess but I think Sombr is my favourite - 'My Body Isn't Ready' is growing on me with each listen, I think I could end up really loving it. Shame it's not doing that great officially, hope it at least manages to sneak a week in the top 40. Great chart

Thanks DaTilt! Benson Boone will probably chart in a week or two. Hey James! I haven't heard the live version of 'Origami' but I'll check it out. Don't worry Olivia will easily make the top 5. Ari will still climb too I should think but I don't know how much more. Yeah relentless is a good word to describe 'More! More! More!' The Lola song is OK but I think you're right, I can't really see her getting another big hit. Again 'Black Prada Dress' is just OK, yeah agreed about the lack of replayability. It doesn't really excite me. Thanks

Voted

Yeah I'm loving 'Man In The Arena' at the moment. Let's hope the new one's just as good - they do like their pretentious song titles

Is 'Livin' On A Prayer' appearing anywhere? It seems to be played in the stadiums for every hydration break!

They should have made a better song if they wanted it to chart

She's moving on from 'More! More! More!' already?! Very quick turnaround of singles if so, she needs to give them a chance to stick!

Found this a bit dreary on first listen but the chorus is starting to hit a bit with subsequent listens. Still not up there with 'Undressed' or 'Homewrecker' or '12 To 12' but I guess I can see why it hasn't taken off initially - maybe it still will.

Thanks Seltin. Taylor and Olivia will keep climbing but I'm a bit bored of Tove's song now!

Hi DaTilt - I'm not feeling this Jungle song as much as their last one but we'll find out if it's a grower! Hey Jordan! 4 - A mix of both, half are from the 2010s and half from the 2020s! 15 - If I'm being honest I wasn't that taken by the album as a whole - the three singles are the best songs 18 - It's getting catchier with every listen but for me it's still no 'Fever Dream'! 27 - I'm not a huge fan really, don't expect much more of a climb... 29 - Yeah I think I kinda agree. Haven't seen the film yet, not sure if I'll just wait until it's out on streaming! Thanks

Is Hot Hits UK still a thing? I haven't heard much talk of it lately. Does it still get a lot of listeners?

Probably too much to add in the same week, I expect it'll be added next week along with Charli
