Yeah, that was pretty much my exact thought when I heard it. She's becoming a bit of a one trick pony, especially lyrically.

Sadly I just can't see much support for him this time round, the Eurovision goodwill has long evaporated by now.

Yep certified bop and my dance track of the week 😃

Yeah, agreed, 'Cupid's Girl' is much more like it! Strange to see Marina in the indie forum though, I've always seen her as pop?

Love Me More is better than Confession!

This is now on R1's playlist. Can see it becoming a long-running top 40 hit.

This is great, very catchy chorus!

I was right to reserve judgment, it sounds better in full than the snippet suggested! Can definitely see it growing too. Not quite up there with 'Filthy Rich' but a nice song.

'Strange & Beautiful' is less strange and more beautiful - a lovely song

Both singles sound very bland to me, they're capable of much more interesting songs

Ash are releasing a cover of 'Jump In The Line' on 2nd April (though whether anyone on Buzzjack will care for that news is another matter lol)

Doesn't sound like anything special to me but I'll reserve judgment until I hear it in full.

Personally I would turn that 6 upside down. Such a shame this didn't become a hit!

Oh right, I see. Or don't see, as the case may be 😅

Not sure what you mean? What's blank? 😕

In your opinion maybe

This is very good. I'm intrigued as to what parts will get cut for the radio edit.

Or maybe let's not

Loving that instrumental drop. Love him or loathe him, he knows exactly how to write a hit!

I thought 'Deeply Still In Love' was a great track but this one is even better!

The Siobhan Donaghy track is on Spotify after all, so I have added that to the playlist now!

I do, the job centre

Yes, all the other tracks are in a randomised sequence but I thought it'd be a nice touch for that to be closing track 😃

Hey Sergej! Good to see Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan and LISA in your top 10. Great to see 'Slow Motion' as a re-entry at #56, always good to see my current #1 appear in someone else's chart - hopefully it will climb further for you. My favourite new entry is 'Call Me When You Break Up' (even though I prefer 'Sunset Blvd' of the three songs they've released). Speaking of Chappell, I'm intrigued to find out how 'The Giver' will perform on your chart...
