Well this thread quickly degenerated I guess you can blame it on me!

Agreed, Selena isn't even in the same league as Avril, at least not in the UK. Lana possibly though.

I might do a poll of the artists mentioned to see who people definitively put at the top of this list.

Anne will fade slowly though so she'll still be there for a few weeks. The new Tove Lo is good but not amazing IMO. Thanks DaTilt! Thanks Sergej!

You're such a melt!

Oh no... things will never be the same again

And it's also a crime that 'Can't Catch Me Now' in turn charted higher than Taylor's own 'Carolina' but there we go

Nothing massively grabbed me this week but I suppose I'll go for Taylor. I was a bit underwhelmed by the new Alex Warren though it is starting to grow. B*Witched was also better than I expected tbh.

Yeah I completely agree, I personally love Bananarama but they have definitely not had the same cultural impact as many other bands mentioned in this thread. That said, it's a shame something like 'Cruel Summer' or 'Love In The First Degree' never managed to bag them a #1.

Oh sorry I was misreading the sales that Joseph posted! Just realised they're listed in order of sales, I was thinking they were listed in chronological order!

How has Niall turned things around from 14k last era to nearly double that this time round?! I didn't think his new stuff felt that well received!

Yeah I still think Taylor will get it this week. And even if she drops the following week, hopefully something from Olivia Rodrigo's album has enough traction to challenge Sam & Olivia - maybe the Robert Smith collab? #reinreinmeinin

Sup Jordan! 1. Zara Larsson – Midnight Sun [36-x-16-8-6-10-1] Oh wow did NOT see that coming what happened to make it do a complete 180?! 2. Sienna Spiro – The Visitor [25-7-2] Well she's not a very frequent visitor to my chart lol. She does have a nice voice but I just don't get the hype for her I'm afraid 3. Olivia Rodrigo – Drop Dead [16-3] 4. Noah Kahan – The Great Divide [12-2-1-4] 5. Bruno Mars – Risk It All [17-2-5] 6. Sombr – Homewrecker [2-1-5-6] 7. Alex Warren – Fever Dream [15-13-7] Ooh this going top 10 is a very pleasant surprise! Pretty sure this is my favourite song of the year so far 8. Dara – Bangaranga Just about as crazy as a song you'd expect to win Eurovision though I must admit I do prefer Sweden's entry! 9. Harry Styles – American Girls [8-4-9] 11. Bebe Rexha & Faithless – New Religion [13-18-11] 13. Teddy Swims – Mr. Know It All [26-13] Next stop top 10? Fingers crossed! 15. Bruno Mars – I Just Might [18-9-5-14-15] 19. OneRepublic – Need Your Love [27-19] Still really enjoying this, hope it sticks around for a while on your chart! 26. Anotr & 54 Ultra – Talk To You [32-26] 28. Olivia Dean – Baby Steps 29. Noah Kahan – Porch Light 30. Gracie Abrams – Hit The Wall I honestly thought her new era would do nothing so I'm surprised this is doing well. It's not bad but it's really nothing special, just more of the same for her. I think she will need to progress her sound if she wants to sustain a chart career. 34. Felicia – My System Oh I had no idea when I wrote my earlier comment that you would chart this! Of the few of this year's Eurovision entries I've heard this is definitely my favourite 35. Sienna Spiro – Material Lover Did you really need three of her songs in your chart? 36. Taylor Swift – Elizabeth Taylor [29-x-33-36] 38. Myles Smith & Niall Horan – Drive Safe [18-30-x-38] 39. Harry Styles – Aperture [1-1-4-19-39] Excellent selection this month

It's alright. Nothing amazing but very Ellie. I'm not crazy about the title though - 'Feel Like Love' would have worked better given that's what she keeps repeating in the chorus!

I voted for Drum Machine even if no one else did because I HAVE TASTE.

Shake It Off, Blank Space, Is It Over Now, Cruel Summer from the context... but I had to think about it, and I agree I wish people would stop using them, it's honestly not that hard to type song names.

Yep both were A-listed: Calvin Harris (Love Regenerator) Hypnogogic (I Can't Wait) B-B-B-A-A-A Calvin Harris (Love Regenerator) x Steve Lacy Live Without Your Love B-A-A-A-A-A

There was a thread a few years ago which answered a lot of this. I remember Bon Jovi and Janet Jackson featuring on that too. You should probably also consider most top 40 hits without a number one - I seem to remember Depeche Mode held a similar record, not sure if it's that one. I'm pretty sure they've had more top 40 hits without a top 3 hit, let alone a #1. Maybe someone can find that original thread.

My data goes back to 'Let's Go' in 2012 (38 singles ago) and the answer to that is... never. I doubt he stalled on the C-list even with singles previous to that so probably never. In any case, I imagine 'Satisfy' will at least be B-listed.

When is PFSC XIX coming? Isn't it overdue?

I'm a big fan of Embrace but this felt like a bit of a disappointment: This, however, was a low key BANGER!

So I gave this a listen out of curiosity... I think it's safe to say I will not be giving it another listen.

You've experienced pregnancy? You must be a medical miracle

Really liking this one too, not quite as heavy but an interest sound with the strings! Shaping up to be a really decent album.
