New Benson is very instant, screaming out smash!

That Blancmange song is great, so much fun! I also love 'I'll Remember', a classic Madonna ballad, so I'm sad to see them both drop out at this stage. 'Rain' is an even better Madonna ballad but I fear we'll be seeing it sooner rather than later.

Thanks, didn't realise that. Had no idea that it had accumulated as many as 10 weeks at #1 either!

I make 'Last Christmas' 720 (10 weeks #1 x 72 weeks top 40), how have you got 890?

Hey Seltin! 'Born Again' is great, I thought it would do better officially. Ava's track is her best for ages 😀 Gone off Jade's song. Tate should keep climbing still. Thanks 🙂

That's a great tracklist. All the classics are on it!

Yeah I'm not sure they were proper singles, just tracks thrown out there. It sounds like this one will be given a proper push - although his hype does seem to have totally evaporated from 3 years ago so I'm still not expecting it to do much.

That would only put it on 303 points as it's spent 3 weeks at #1. 'As It Was' spent 10 weeks at #1 and, by my counting, 65 weeks in the top 40, giving it 650 points, blowing Mariah (and probably everything else) out of the water!

Thanks Sergej :)

What's this?

This is great - much better than the one she released the other week! Presumably this is the proper single they're launching the album with?

THE Supersister?! Back after all these years? :o

Hey Seltin! Yes 'Abracadabra' is great! 'Sports Car' is slowly growing on me so it should manage a few more climbs ;) Can't say the same for Jade though... Thanks :D

I'd be surprised if 'The Giver' was suddenly released this Friday after all this time. On a separate note, is the site being a bit slower than usual for anyone today, or is it just me?

I feel like this has been a deliberately low key release though, that's why I wasn't sure if it was for a new era proper. I also prefer 'Don't Panic' out of the two.

I'm guessing this is just an EP she's throwing out there rather than the start of a full blown era?

Prime opportunity for someone big to drop a surprise release!

From last week: 1 - I don't think he adds *that* much to it, but it's a great song either way! 4 - It's not my favourite Chappell song by any means but yeah I agree, it's good to see how quickly it's blown up :) 24 - Yeah they've definitely gone back to their roots with this! 25 - I have listened to Teddy's album and I like it! There are a few skippable tracks but on the whole it's a solid effort and with repeated listens I'm confident some of the skippable tracks will grow. 34 - I'd rank all three roughly the same. I preferred 'Greedy' and 'Exes'. But it's good to see that she's still able to score instant hits! Thanks :D

That's a very late add for Olly Alexander considering his album came out last week!

Pretty much agree with that post, it's a very Manics-by-the-numbers album and it all feels a little too safe, but I guess that's to be expected at this point in their career. Overall I think The Ultra Vivid Lament was a better album.

Isla Fisher was in it?? I completely missed that! Who did she play? Saw it last night and it was fine but I thought it lacked some of the spark and magic of the first three. There were a few periods where I felt it dragged a bit. Definitely my least favourite of the four.
