Paramore

Jack you need to learn to stop talking over the best bit

They all sound very similar to me

I think Sienna Spiro will be held back by her lack of musical range

Kiss me sounds good, I haven't listened to the album yet.

This could have been a Pussycat Dolls song

She's talented but she needs to work on getting rid of that affectation she has when she sings. Bloodstream would be a good song without it

She puts hs in words that don't have hs.

Only took 20 years!

Gen Z just wish they had millennial music!!

Sombr please hit with something else. I know you've tried but still...try again

Sue me is weird. bits of it are promising but then she says 'sue me i want to be wanted' just too many times.

The charts usually represent youth culture. I'm a millennial, when I look at the chart I see the 1996-2001 Bubblegum pop era of my childhood. The 2001-2006 nu metal, emo, indie of my teens. Then the 2008-2020 EDM domination, But looking at the chart today I can't really say what the kids are doing beyond girls having a 'Diva' era with Taylor, Dua, Sabrina, Olivia, Billie (the other one) etc...Maybe its because I'm not Gen Z but what are they even in to? Viral songs? That only goes so far. They aren't averse to country pop but I've equated that to the Mumford, Lumineers, Ben Howard era the millennials had with Indie Folk. I'd say K-Pop but that doesn't really register either.

What is left for Q4? Maybe Taylor Swift- Debut Taylor's Version Maaaaaaaybeee Beyonce's Part III although that is looking more like next year now. Obviously there is stuff unreleased that we cant anticipate and viral hits but 2026 looks lean

This is actually interesting because a portion of those sales are just Sam Fender, some are Sam and Lewis Capaldi

I think when the record came in to focus I did remember the Frankie Laine track from the deep recesses of my mind but I was raised by my grandparents. Its not exactly the modern standard, the 60s were key in making the modern pop sound.

I'm the only one with Swtichfoot still on their phone? I think I also have the Tonight Alive track

Because Frankie Laine was such a monumental artist?

There is clearly a bit of a country thing going on. Taylor might be minded to re-release the Debut with the vault tracks to capitalise on that.

Is it possible that Hate that I made you love me doesn't get the 25% increase required to not go ACR this week? Or can her record company request that she's reset because of the album launch?

The news have brought out a lot of 'I've never heard this' people who are now listening. I would think its got some new fans.

Beyond an X Factor song staying too long and a drastic dip in quality this decade that is a decent playlist

Agreed. I like turnover. I like hit tracks getting their due. 2014 had great number ones with its fast turnover Route 94 My Love Robin Schulz Prayer in C Ariana Grande Problem SecondCity I wanna Feel Mr Probz Waves Kieza Hideaway Sigma Nobody to Love Duke Dumont I got U Clean bandit Rather Be

Do you think they are waiting for the BBC News story?

Hadji that you bro?

Dai Dai isnt falling off like you would expect an event song to do. Ariana will probably swamp the chart next week but I don't think its absolutely over for that song
