Y'all Starlight

I think at this point it is Sam and Olivia's to lose, the track seems to be going semi-viral right now I've noticed (I've seen it dotted across quite a few edits on TikTok) but I certainly would not be opposed to see it at the top (I would take anything over 'Opalite' at this point 😭 ). Bad Bunny at least in the top 3 would be lovely and I'm sure Charli has the #1 album in the bag, pls 🙏

Fantastic record for Charli, as per usual ❤️ 'Dying for You', 'Altars' and 'Funny Mouth' really stood out on first listen. Seconding that the former surely has to smash, pls 🙏

Truly MASSIVE numbers ❤️ Loving this right now, I'm not a huge fan of Harry's discography but I do tend to always love his lead singles (each of them being my fav track from their respective eras - maybe 'Aperture' will be my fave of this era too)! I'm kinda just reiterating what people have been saying here but I think its really commendable that he's taken this moderately left-field step whilst he's at the peak of his powers. Feeling some 'Ray Of Light' vibes on this one maybe 🔥

Went for the Rocky track ('Don't Be Dumb' is overall a fantastic album, AOTY thus far, which isn't a hard feat really 😭), the DESTIN CONRAD track and the Elmiene single 🔥

YES RAYE!!!!!! Amazing chart-topper to start the year 🔥 First #1 of 2023 and 2026 with Taylor Swift at #2 both times 👀

Can't wait to see how comically off I was with these predictions 😭 - Oasis drop a new single, landing straight in at #1 for quite a few weeks. - No new Oasis material despite the tour, but they have been rumoured to be doing the next Bond theme - Oasis also drop an album which sells 300K+ first week - Totally incorrect oop - A song by Madness reappears in the top 40 thanks to being featured in a film/tv show - I think I had a funny feeling that 'Our House' might go viral for no particular reason, how random 💀 - The Weeknd and Central Cee get into a massive albums chart battle with The Weeknd pipping Cench to the top (I can hope x) - Well, the first week album battle of Weeknd vs Central Cee never happened actually, since Abel delayed his album for a week due to the horrendous California wildfires back in January, helping them both secure a #1 album - 'Wake Me Up' by The Weeknd becomes his first solo top five hit since 'Save Your Tears - A 'Wake Me Up' stan can wish I guess lol. It never even came close to charting haha, still a massive banger. Top notch production from Justice as always x - Doechii scores a top 40 hit - Finally a correct prediction! Doechii actually scored 4 top 40 hits in 2025, her breakout year. Including 'Anxiety' being a huge hit, despite it definitely being amongst her worst works unfortunatly. - KSI returns with a hilariously bad UK #1 album - Only a couple of shitty singles from KSI this year, thankfully no album - Mac Miller posthumously scores his first top five album with 'Balloonerism' - As much as it deserved to land in the top five, because it is an incredible record, the album peaked at #16 - #1 albums for: Robbie Williams, Franz Ferdinand, Manic Street Preachers, Inhaler, Doves, Sam Fender, Lady Gaga, James Arthur & The Lathums in Q1 - Was quite off here, only #1 albums for Robbie, Gaga & Sam - Lana Del Rey will delay her upcoming studio album - This one is unsurprisingly accurate, the album now titled 'Stove' I think has been maybe scrapped? idk - Ed Sheeran will return with his "big pop album" but thankfully it will only be as commercially successful as '-' - The first part is true, but 'Play' was more successful than '-' I would say - Sam Fender sells 70K+ with 'People Watching + he scores the Christmas #1 with an Amazon Original - Again, first part was correct, Sam sold over 100K! But no Amazon original from Sam this year, Kylie scored the #1 with one instead! - Miley Cyrus returns but without a smash hit a la 'Flowers' - Indeed. 'Something Beautiful' was an amazing album but no massive hits ('End Of The World' deserved) - We finally receive 'Don't Be Dumb' and 'I AM MUSIC' by A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti respectively. - The Carti album did arrive, titled as just 'Music' and the A$AP record is out next month supposedly (i'm not getting my hopes up) - Lady Gaga x The Weeknd on Gesaffelstein production is single #3 from LG7 and becomes a top 3 hit - No Gaga x Weeknd collab this year (although I think it might be on the cards for 2026?) but we did see Gaga on Gesaffelstein production on 'Killah', which is a massive banger icl - First #1 albums for J. Cole & Playboi Carti - Indeed a #1 album for Carti, but no Cole album this year - Gracie Abrams gets the first #1 of the year - Yup - Bruno Mars returns with a multi-week #1 solo single - No solo material from Bruno again this year, except for than Brazillian meme song or whatever that was - Dave finally returns with a HUGE album in Q3 - Yes, but in Q4. A decently huge album I would say, 'Raindance' looks like it could be in contention for the top soon! - 'Reputation (TV) drops and underperforms by Taylor's usual standards. She also surprise drops an album of fresh material in November - No more Taylor's versions for now, but a new album did drop, in October not November though and it wasn't a surprise drop. - Chappell Roan scores the chart double with a new album - No new Chappell album for a while apparently, but 'The Subway' did dance its way to #1 this year, what a stunner of a song ❤️ - A Kenny Mason song charts in the top 100 - Nope - Pulp return with new music which subsequently charts in the top 40 - Correct! New Pulp material this year, but this highest charting track only reached #98 - The highly-anticipated comeback album from My Chemical Romance is released in Q4 - No new album, but a Black Parade tour next year!!! - A legendary musician dies sending one of their songs back into the top 3 - So many legends passed away this year, but most notably no Black Sabbath songs returned to the top three following Ozzy's death 😢 - Noah Kahan returns with a new album and a top 5 hit single - No new Noah material, but an album on the way I believe?
