Everything Everything - The End Of The Contender [05-03-09-05-05-16-19-32-32-40] Vampire Weekend have broken a record on my chart today, becoming the first ever artists to occupy all of the top three positions here :o This means that 'Capricorn' stays at the top for a third week (subsequently becoming my joint longest ever #1 single) and pre-album singles 'Mary Boone' & 'Classical' rise to new peaks of #2 and #3 respectively. Vampire Weekend manage to land a whopping NINE entries (poor, brave 'Pravda being the only song from 'Only God Was Above Us' not charting). Olivia Rodrigo also succeeds in a week dominated by Ezra Koenig + co by scoring her first top 10 single here with the irresistible 'so american'!

'WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU' is out now! The record features The Weeknd (three times), J. Cole, Lil Baby & A$AP Rocky. The album seems to be continuing the current dissing war between many rappers (most notably Drake and Kendrick Lamar) as The Weeknd has apparently dissed Drake + J. Cole is featured here despite being dissed on 'WE DON'T TRUST YOU' (Drake seems to have fallen out with both Future & Metro so he probably won't be happy oop).

Day 11 - A song you like from one of your favourite albums post COVID-19 JID & Kenny Mason - Dance Now EVlGLtCnN-Y Although 'The Forever Story' may have been released in 2022, a big chunk of the hip-hop classic was apparently recorded during the pandemic in 2020!

The speech bubbles are looking fantastic! Once again, thank you Joseph!

BJSC 163 Results In BJSC 163 we sent Dog Race's instantly loveable breakthrough single 'It's The Squeeze', hoping that we could score another high finish in commemoration of Abeltesfayeton's 10th contest anniversary in BJSC! We qualified, but barely. We scraped through to the final by one single point thanks to a Sovarasman mealworm :heart: We actually did pretty well in the final despite the underwhelming semi performance! We finished 12th which is our 3rd highest position ever and on 214 points (only two points off of the top 10), our 2nd highest amount of points ever received. Thank you for voting for us: Suedeonia, Conoria, Summericia, Kluminican Republic, Bronzil, Ajanaeda, Sovarasma, Fljótavík, Jupiterdonia, Skall, Jadakissnia, Terra Avium, Scotland 2, Nelönoir, Séyetana & Yobnedorica! Hugely grateful to Danæviia & Persephonia for the bronzes! Massive thanks to Trifoski, Cumulonimbia, POPHub & Kylienips for the silvers! And big up Pestolia for the gold :heart:!!!!!!!!

Confirmed a mega-banger! I can't see it getting massively far tho

Glad that Hozier is set to have quite a considerable lead over Benson! It's really giving 7/8 week #1 vibes (or around that) and even if one of Taylor's tracks dethroned it, I feel like it could go right back to the top easily the following week. I could really do without 'Been Like This' & 'I Don't Wanna Wait' becoming hits tbh. 'Dragostea Din Tei' is a classic and shouldn't be allowed to get butchered in this way :angry: Those J. Cole tracks aren't very good either but it's understandable why they're charting here (the only redeemable part from those entries is the production at the end of '7 Minute Drill', thanks Conductor x). I'm righteously disappointed at this dire underperformance for Vampire Weekend :( Probably my AOTY so far so hoping top 10 isn't a stretch too far. I wouldn't have predicted Feeder or Conan Grey to sell more! I also expected Khraungbin to perform better than they have (which is unfortunate as the material from their album is also really good).

Hold on.... I have found an entry. Issa banger (now watch it get vetoed).

Day 10 - A song you like named after someone famous SZA - Drew Barrymore dp45V_M4Akw A fantastic track from 'CTRL'!

Hi Dan! Great to see all three of 'Cry For Me', 'Cheerleader' and 'Sadness As A Gift' all hanging around in the top 10! Seconding the love for the BJSC picks here! Fantastic to see the new peak for 'Always' as well! 'It's The Squeeze' entering :cheeseblock: Thanks for the support :heart:

Well, that's both of their best hits gone :nocheer: Rooting for 'Somebody Told Me' from now on!

Hi Dan! Totally agree about Future, he is a pretty inconsistent artist :lol: Agreed that the 2nd instalment in the Chroma series is superior to the first (although I do still like the first a lot). I'm sorry to hear that 'Saturnine' hasn't done much but at least you are still playing the incredible 'One Night/All Night' :heart: Hopefully the next edition of BJSC will have even more gems than the latest one! I'm so pleased to see Hozier poised to get a UK #1 single :wub: Considering the legacy it's had (and just how fantastic of a song it is), 'Take Me To Church' really deserved to be a #1 so at least he's getting one now.

Day 9 - A song from the 20th century that you only recently discovered Neutral Milk Hotel - Two-Headed Boy MX9iW7n9qWQ I knew (and loved) some Neutral Milk Hotel songs before hearing this beauty :wub: This was of course a BJSC discovery, thanks Colm! Day 1 – A song you like with a day in the title - Lil Yachty - A Cold Sunday Day 2 – A song by someone who appeared on a TV Talent show - Beyoncé - AMERIICAN REQUIM Day 3 – A song you like that makes you feel nostalgic - D12 - My Band Day 4 – A song you like with a US state in the title - Noah Kahan - Maine Day 5 – A song you would have as your walk-on music - Travis Scott - FE!N (feat.

This is looking fantastic Joseph! It's always nice to embrace some changes.

Album #2 is indeed called 'WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU' :D 8uLJT4FyneI

Hi Jack! TikTok has pretty good taste tbf :lol: That being said, it has made some utter tripe become monster hits oop.

That's much lower than I expected for Vampire Weekend :( Really hoping they can hold onto the top 10...

Exciting :cheer: It's a shame that Twenty One Pilots probably won't get their 1st UK #1 album... Unless they move the release date of course!

It seems like Target have accidentally leaked the album's title as 'Hit Me Hard And Soft'! Billie also previewed a clip of what is presumably the first single on her Instagram:

Day 8 - A song you like with a planet in the title Justice & Miguel - Saturnine M1T1VWxazC8 I mean, it does have a planet in the title tbf. It was very hard to not choose Lil Dicky's masterpiece 'Earth' tho Day 1 – A song you like with a day in the title - Lil Yachty - A Cold Sunday Day 2 – A song by someone who appeared on a TV Talent show - Beyoncé - AMERIICAN REQUIM Day 3 – A song you like that makes you feel nostalgic - D12 - My Band Day 4 – A song you like with a US state in the title - Noah Kahan - Maine Day 5 – A song you would have as your walk-on music - Travis Scott - FE!N (feat. Playboi Carti) Day 6 – A song you like that reminds you of a vacation - The 1975 - It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) Day 7 – A song you like that is instrumental with no lyrics - Four Tet - Three Drums Day 8 - A song you like with a planet in the title - Justice & Miguel - Saturnine

Hi Jade! I really enjoyed 'COWBOY CARTER' much more than I thought I would! The album is slightly bloated but there are many highlights, one of the main ones being 'DAUGHTER' of course :wub: I'd love it if DJ_Dave could get a commercial breakthrough one day but I'll take the bangers for now! I'm so HYPED to hear this new Vampire Weekend album! Will start to get listening to it shortly.... Hi James! :lol: 'AMERIICAN REQIUEM' is indeed very predictably me :D Oop at that fall for 'we can't be friends', it definitely deserves more here. I suppose there have been quite a few albums released lately that have distracted my attention away from 'eternal sunshine' (hence causing many of the tracks to fall from the album unfortunately). It's crazy to see such a niche UK producer like Artemas get a global hit of this scale! Totally here for it :cheer: I'm hoping 'Too Sweet' can get to #1 soon here in the UK (it also looks like it could have a decent chance to hit #1 in the USA if it's airplay picks up). There were many tracks from 'COWBOY CARTER' that I did enjoy, overall a great album from Queen Bey :D

Day 7 - A song you like that is instrumental with no lyrics Four Tet - Three Drums DGaKVLFNWzs Just absolutely stunning :wub: Day 1 – A song you like with a day in the title - Lil Yachty - A Cold Sunday Day 2 – A song by someone who appeared on a TV Talent show - Beyoncé - AMERIICAN REQUIM Day 3 – A song you like that makes you feel nostalgic - D12 - My Band Day 4 – A song you like with a US state in the title - Noah Kahan - Maine Day 5 – A song you would have as your walk-on music - Travis Scott - FE!N (feat. Playboi Carti) Day 6 – A song you like that reminds you of a vacation - The 1975 - It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)
