Paramore

Yes but I think the problem is that everything will reach this threshold with time. Reaching platinum in a calendar year is different than reaching it after 10-15 years. This system was made for a time when CDs and tapes would be printed and then stop being sold.

Urgh...its so X Factor Winner's Song... Manchild is a bit 'more of the same' but at least it would be new

How close are we to the end of Ordinary time? I don't understand it. Its very mid.

I think Calvin and Ed's best days were maybe 10 years ago.

This Calvin Harris has a sample from something I can't place. Something 90s?

I dare not think...

Back to Friends is very good as far as TikTok music goes. Imagine how much bigger Christina Perri's A Thousand Years would have been in the TikTok era?

Have to confess I haven't listened to Reputation in full. I didn't much like 'Look what you made me do' and fell into the narrative about it being a stepdown from 1989. Say this about Taylor though, she can write and opening track. Welcome to New York, ... Ready for it? and Lavender Haze are all real mood makers. Guess I'll be listening this week

Ry X - Only- STUNNING! Is this TikTok and YouTube pushing that? Paramore - That's What You Get There is a shocking lack of Paramore certificated tracks. Considering the number of their albums. The Coral - In The Morning, Up the WIRRAL!

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins rightfully now platinum Welcome to New York is very underrated. A great album opener, always gets me pumped

Hanging by a Moment flopped and then that was that. 4 US top 10 Albums, 0 charted in the UK. They've always existed in my head as a great example of how the US chart and UK chart used to be very different.

YAY for Can't Catch Me Now. Hoping the next Hunger Games will get it to Platinum. Lifehouse- You and Me is such a good song. I was always surprised they did so well in the USA in the 00s and did NOTHING here. Its weird. You and Me it seems has seen a surge through fanvideos and edits on social I guess. With that in mind, You and Me got to Gold and Everything is still not at silver?

Not Like Us is AWFUL

Sza makes "All the Stars"

Revolving Door is great. Feels a bit like a throwback sound.

Talky bits in songs 😒

Its weird. He's obviously doing really well but I feel like after 3 number 1 albums he should be bigger? Like he should be getting more top 10 singles. Its like he's stagnant.

This Drake track is so cringe its actually pretty funny.

Its not even a sample, its the whole song. He chats bubbles over it

Someone is talking over a good Gorillaz track, why?

Feels like they should be obligated to play new entries unless there is a big influx of album tracks.

"The Days", already down to 27 ☹️

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years (5x) - 3m and that isn't even counting the Youtube Fanvideos

Hozier - From Eden Dare I say, his greatest song. 'Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago ' might be my favourite ever lyric

I still buy CDs. Streaming feels like rental. I use it to find new music. Not to have a collection of music I love
