Slightly off topic but I was hoping this meant we’d get Rebecca Ferguson’s version of Distant Dreamer. Sadly not.

I feel like I’m the same. I’ve never disliked any of her singles, they’re all ok. That seems to be the thing for me though, I believe she can do much better.

I remember this time very well. All of the singles were all over Australian radio and tv. They seemed massive.

That’s promising. How’d Forget About Us and Tears go with NMF placement?

Double post.

50 Cent featuring Mobb Deep - Outta Control

That sounds quite good. Hopefully it finds it way to digital platforms at some point soon.

Hahaha that feels like a lifetime ago. I’d almost forgotten about that.

Are there two radio versions of this? I’ve heard one where she replaces mother f***** with little sucker, and now I’ve heard one where she replaces it with ‘mother trucker’. It did make me laugh.

10 Out of 10 (with Oliver Heldens)

Great this is so close to going top 3. Hopefully it reaches there this week.

Sour Candy *joins the others in hiding*

Moving to Crazy Boys now.

I think end of the month. 24th/25th October

Good point. Q1 in 2025 seems like the optimal time to launch the new era.

That’s disappointing, but not a big shock.

Yes! I love this idea.

Correct, 2021.

Just the one new track? I’m guessing it’s for streaming purposes. Leona Lewis released acre-issue years later with just two new songs as well.

I agree with those above me. Some good points made and ideas.

I actually planned on listening to all 4 of Emma’s albums but I just haven’t got around to it yet. I’ll try and get them done for this.

18th October? So soon!

That’s a nice surprise, I wasn’t expecting that. Agree though, I don’t think it’ll stay top 100.

Gareth Gates - Say It Isn’t So

So it’s been 17 years to the since About You Now got to #1 in the UK. That makes me feel so old. I can remember posting on the Sugababes around that time.
