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

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.

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.

Great countdown Joseph! Love Shine, only discovered it around 2011-12 but it’s been a firm favourite since then.

It is harder I agree, still possible though I think, even in that time. It might be rare but in Australia Delta Goodrem’s debut album reach #1 and sold over a million copies and still had all 5 of its singles go #1 in 2003. So true pippa, it’s such a varied discography. Thanks for your input along the way with this too. :)

Where did all these Love Train votes come from?? :(

Disappointing to miss the First Look top 20. Hopefully it’ll chart on Friday still.

First #1 since January!

Patience is amazing too. I knew part of the chorus for a while as it was used in an ad here, but I could never work out what song it was. When I found out it was this I checked it out and I’ve been a fan since.

I did seem to think Cher’s was released fairly early.

Just noticed it was on streaming, will check them out too.

Rule The World is sublime, I only discovered during lockdown in 2020.

I watched it live from home, I thought it was ok without being amazing.
