Paramore

The Cure is in my running for Song of the Year. This and American Girls have hooked me. But we are only half way through

Problem with this theory is the song being so boring.

Has Ella Langley had a world cup boost? Are people playing it for the host's 'atmosphere'?

It means 'I don't give a fig' doesn't it?

Prospa ANOTR Silva Bumpa Hugel 4 big dance summer tracks is a good hit rate, then we have the Milky revival and Calvin coming back for a second year. I could still do with more dance

Harry's album is going to be a highlight of the year for me. He really didn't care about what anyone else wanted and put out something interesting

I think Sombr is perhaps less Jeff Buckley and more James Morrison

No. He's writing safe. For the algorithm. First line about 4th July coming out the week before 4th July. And the meme title 'My body isn't ready' that he plays completely straight in the song.

I think the record company saw how he had so many simultaneous tracks last year and put it out too early. People weren't done with Homewrecker yet. That went ACR last week, this came out directly after.

Ah but Potential was the superior song

Would like to see this track go top 20 at least

Whats a wonderwall anyway?

Gracie Abrams is what Swifties want Taylor to be but they don't really want to listen to Gracie. Tragic state of affairs

I know Sombr plays to TikTok and virality but honestly bringing out a song which starts with a reference to the 4th July a week before the 4th July is too transparent for me to deal with. Its so contrived its boring. Homewrecker was similar where you can see the Tik Tok edits a mile away. But his success before was based on how interesting his songs were. Not because they were leaning in to what executives think will hit. I want Sombr to be successful but I do need this to flop a bit. Potential was a better song than this but I guess got overran by Homewrecker. I can't have this working and giving execs an excuse to make him more contrived.

What is on the horizon for presuming ACR doesn't knock it off number 1?

I love seeing the summer dance tunes rise. 90s House is such a big part of my childhood memories.

It peaked at 55 at the end of last month.

They should play Rein Me In for the stadium like they did Wonderwall. 20 week number 1 right there

The third single was Dance No More. But it hasn't had the hits of his previous records. And I love this album. I'm not a hater

Oh my god... TAYLOR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Its no Beat It

The Cure is a stunning song. Deserved #1

When do England play? Could Three Lions get in by week's end?

Flop (I will work out my bitterness in time)

20-30 is now 10-20
