Thank you Wardy, I do visit this forum sometimes but clearly not enough and definitely would have missed this! I will get my thinking cap on and be sure to enter something before tomorrow (I'm flying all day tomorrow so I will have to do it tonight, eek...)

Omar Rudberg - Malandro
OK I'd never heard of this guy until I saw this thread but I'm really enjoying this song

Sub Focus - Contact
Well 'Entwined' is absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite things they've ever done for sure!

Agreed, except the Sub Focus song is a total banger!

JSG'S Top 40, #154, 29/10/2025
Hey James! I very much approve of us both having a concurrent #1 *.* Jade looks like she's very much knocking at the door for next week though! Was definitely not expecting to see 'Ordinary' in the top 10 after all this time though, that's quite a shock Can't comment on PinkPantheress as I haven't heard her collabs album, but 'Opalite' is certainly a good new entry, probably my next favoutite track on the album behind 'Ophelia'. Nice chart

I'm not a fan of that edit. Great video though, very clever effects, hadn't seen that before!

OCC: Top 20 Lily Allen songs
Yeah that's a good point. "Forget you very very much" would have sounded a bit clumsy but I guess it could have worked.

OCC: Top 20 Lily Allen songs
I get how people are saying f*** You would have made a great single, but I think radio would have found it difficult to get on board, even with the expletive censored. It's easy to see why it wasn't a single.

Mango's Top 40 (27/10/25): Hello, I'm oblivious to your mood swings
Hi Jordan! 1 - Yes, sometimes the most unexpected collaborations are the best ones! 3 - His new single, however, is quite a drop in quality compared to the first two 5 - I have listened to the album and it's nowhere near her best. I like this and about 3 other songs, although I'm prepared to give it a few more listens before I completely make up my mind! 7 - Yes, this is the single and I haven't really cared for her solo music much before (or even Paramore's music for that matter) but this is so good! 21 - It's quite surreal to see him get an actual top 40 hit after all this time, isn't it? It's a great song though so I'm glad he did it with this! 28 - I don't really know much about them if I'm honest, I heard 'Gnarly' a couple of times and it was OK but this one really hit! Hopefully they can do something, there's definitely a gap in the market for a girl band like them right now. Thanks

OCC: Top 20 Lily Allen songs
Some absolute bops in that list lovely to see her P!nk and Professor Green collabs in her top 10 too, love both of those!
-
Bon Jovi - Forever
I think this may fall to #4 behind Taylor and Lily.
-
Sigrid - There's Always More That I Could Say
Yeah this is another decent effort from her! 'Hush Baby, Hurry Slowly' is also my favourite of the previously unreleased ones. #7 in Monday's mids, I wonder if she can stay top 10 come Friday? Probably unlikely.

Quiz Season Week 5: Quixort RESULTS
Oh dear not my finest result but I really had no idea what to expect! It's a shame we couldn't see what we put because I can't really remember my answers now, would have been good to see where we tripped up. Congrats to @gasman449 and thanks @Riser for a fun and entertaining new quiz format - I hope you consider doing another one of these next quiz season!

And also I'm sure an add for 'Something In The Heavens' can't be far off?

New Music Friday
Really enjoying all four of those (Alec and Charlie in particular), but I'd also add Leigh-Anne 'Dead And Gone' to the list for last week. This week I'm all about Olly Murs, Selena, Sheppard and the Tyla song is unexpectedly good too!
