Summer Of Love

Not what I was expecting either, but happy to take the result as is. :)

Olly Murs - Merry Christmas Everyone (Shakin' Stevens cover) is also out today. Apple Music Exclusive though I think.

Yes, given how huge they both were (at least in Australia) I thought they'd both be top 10/20.

It’s not al about the Sugababes, but that’s ok with me. I did find the stuff about her solo career interesting.

Really looking forward to this too. EGO is close to my favourite song of 2025, I’ve been obsessed with it. I’ve like the other two, but need to go back to them more.

Channeling my inner Ted Lasso. Ain't no lie - Bye, Bye, Bye.

Swedish pop superstar Agnes will releaser her 6th studio album BEAUTIFUL MADESS early in the new year on January 23rd. It'll contain the three singles already released: BALENCIAGA COVERED EYES, MILK & EGO. It'll have 15 tracks. Tracklist: BM-247 01 INTERLUDE BEAUTIFUL MADNESS TRIGGER GOT ANY? MILK FOCUS WAKE UP BALENCIAGA COVERED EYES NOT CAPABLE EGO MASTERPIECE SIGN IT PRE LOVESONGS UTERUS & UNIVERSE

I don't think I can recall hearing Perfect Day at the time. What on earth was I doing??

It took me a good few weeks of it being on the charts to warm to Don't Cha back in 2005. I found it so annoying to begin with. I don't mind it now and it does bring back some good memories of the second half of 2005.

Olly Murs has released a cover version of Merry Christmas Everyone (Shakin' Stevens). It looks to be an Apple Music exclusive.

Former Eurovision winner Emmelie de Forest has a Christmas EP out on Nov 14 (today) Kisses For Christmas.

To say that’s an underwhelming list doesn’t even come close to how how I feel about this. Beyond disappointed, the hype and goodwill is there and this is what they dish up.

Wasn’t expecting this . Would’ve preferred something original.

Great that it's still in the top 10! Hopefully it'll finish the week in the top 20.

I'm over half way through now and it's just heartbreaking to hear/read what Mutya went through over the years.

I'm only up to chapter 4 but nothing of note yet. Just some early memories of signing to London Records.

I’m waiting for the audio book to be 4pm, then I’ll start listening to it.

Everything You Need made it 3 from 3 from Madison Avenue for me. I know there was a fourth single but it’s a shame it ended so abruptly.

I love that Spiller song and I voted for it in the #9 round but I was proper obsessed with Madison Avenue in 2000. So I've gone for that. I still love both songs though.

Thanks, I'll need to see if I can work out if I'm missing anything from the list of avalible songs. :)
