"Sugar, We're Goin' Down" the next of my losses, one of FOB's better songs imo. I almost gave points to Bowling For Soup and Lovin' Spoonful, wish we could choose 50 songs! Love Eddie Murphy's original Party All The Time but the Sharam (one letter away from a VW MPV!) version is very meh. National Express is a song I like but not enough to give points.

Poor Rocky, this will be the first week with no new entries since...?

In the article it says "pre-streaming, greatest hits albums were big business" OCC look at your own album charts, they still are! Robbie has some amazing sales, I thought Rudebox would've been ahead of some of his 2010s albums

A Stranger Things related number one, Harry Styles debuting at number one with his lead single and knocking Dave off the top, it's 2022 all over again!

"Bulls On Parade" is my second loss, some great guitar work from Tom Morello on that track. Thought Uninvited would've got through, wish I had voted for it now!

The music video was released a couple weeks ago, and there are rumours that Dave and Tems are romantically involved

Nope, this is way more exciting!

Fetty Wap - Trap Queen at 58 and 679 at 142. Getting boosts because he was released?

Can Ice Spice chart with "Big Guy" from the new SpongeBob movie please, song of the year 😆

8 of the 10 songs have female artists involved! (Rein Me In's success is completely to do with Olivia Dean taking off and I'm sure Raindance would not be nearly as much of a smash if it wasn't a Tems collab)

+5 Rein Me In +4 Where Is My Husband +3 End Of Beginning +2 Raindance +1 Die On This Hill -1 Man I Need -2 I Just Might -3 The Fate Of Ophelia -4 Lush Life -5 So Easy

I worked in retail for a month over Christmas 2024, I was right next to the CD section and I can't say I ever saw anyone take anything from there to the tills 😂 doubt most Robbie fans (40 odd year old mums) are the type to get their CDs from HMV

Yeah I was going off the logic that I Run was banned for infringement, so if there's nothing infringing about this new AI cover (which writing credits for the original song usually indicates) it will sadly be free to chart.

Only Rocky this week for me

I think this one unfortunately has clearance from the original song's label so we won't see it being banned. Very upsetting

Oh no, the AI Stromae cover is going to chart ☹️

Rocky not top 5! Hope this is rectified by Friday. Glad to see Nathan Evans this high.

I imagine they weren't too enthusiastic about playing a song about a "dictator" in the middle of the day? Also it features Sparks who are granddad age so potential ageism there

Ooh hope at least one of Rocky's tracks holds top 40.

Fingers crossed for Dave and Tems! Good song and always like a quick turnover at the top.

Apparently they've never argued before? That could be why 😂

Raye ahead of Taylor!

I'll probably jinx it but i think Ordinary won't get a reset, its still doing really well and it of course banks on Alex actually being there to perform it. Ik George Ezra got a reset after the label requested it (I think that was more to do with the P*ul Br*ch second wind anyway?) but don't think they'll be as generous this time.

Nah this 2016 revival stuff isn't it for me, only good thing about that year was being in primary school and watching Vine 😂

My friend actually met Sam at an engagement party recently, unfortunately he couldn't get me a video greeting from him 😂
