Defaze

Sad to see M-22/Medina so low considering it's doing decent enough on iTunes. Really willing for it to be a hit. Zayn's doing pretty appallingly with 'Let Me' isn't he?

'Outlines' is a massive bop and pretty well remembered for me, but then again I've got it on a few Spotify playlists. Same with 'Control', although I believe R1 give it a spin here and there which probably helps. This has been been the most apt example for me. I still barely remember it after listening to it, yet recall the release week rather well because of Pixie and Kylie. :lol: Probably for the best because it's bloody dreadful. ' (I'm a Freak' from that same week's a good example too, and even the #1 ('Tsunami') is kind of forgettable.

I could've guessed this was an Ed Sheeran co-write given how utterly heinous and clunky the lyrics are. Not quite 'Castle on the Hill' level, but still horrible. Can't wait for radio to rinse it for months on end.

Oops at me giving DNA one of its lowest scores. :lol: I wasn't ever that fond of it, but I've found myself liking it less and less as time goes on. Probably bottom 5 LM singles for me. LMLY, on the other, has been a huge grower. What a song. :wub: 'Untouched' is amazing too, and 'Unpretty' and 'What About Us' are nice enough.

I'm glad the horribly overrated 'Love Machine' is out. Sad to see 'Whole Again' leave though, it's an absolute classic. SLS does feel pretty forgotten, but I'm glad it's relatively high here. All of the girls sound amazing, but Perrie's vocals in particular absolutely kill me. A version with Pt 1's production and Pt 2's lyrics/overall message would definitely be a contender for my favourite LM song.

Gotta' +1 with all of these. Although the most painful for me is 'Ocean Drive' by Duke Dumont. By FAR his best track and one of my all-time favourite songs.

christ. ('Viva Forever' to bomb out at #41 pls).

I've just realised they haven't playlisted it now that you've mentioned it. How bizarre. I actually thought 'Tongue' would properly take off and propel him into the mainstream when I first heard it. Shame it's fizzled out already (although to be expected with no airplay).

Yeah, 'Something New' is really just a racket to me. I hadn't realised its chart run was quite so terrible (deservedly so. :P). I never really 'got' WFH either. NMSS has always been a favourite of mine, but it's properly clicked with me this past week. I'd probably rate it ahead of 'Power' now and I actually regret not giving it a 10. Still not a bad showing here considering how overlooked it seems to be as a whole.

The Sean Paul/Becky G song is incredibly infectious, so I hope this helps it take off.

Has anyone else notice that Radio 1 still give them a spin almost every day despite having no active single? I've heard 'Touch' and SOTME a lot recently (I wouldn't be surprised if they'd overtaken 'Wings' by now), and Grimmy even gave NMSS a play yesterday. It's great that they can maintain a radio presence even between eras.

'I Wanna Be The Only One' instantly reminds me of my childhood and never fails to make me smile. Brilliant track. 'Issues' is lovely too. Not overly surprised at SOTME being the first LM song to fall (although it should've been DNA imo). I'd probably rank it 5/5 as far as their 'Glory Days' singles go -- it's still an absolute anthem, but I can see how some might find it grating.

Is it really 'doing alright' though? Strong Capital airplay (plus video rotation) since release, Scott Mills' track of the week, a discount, and yet it still can't go top 30. It's pretty dead in the water I'd say, even if it does get added to Hot Hits.

I loathe the majority of his singles, but 'Castle On The Hill' is another level. The lyrics are DREADFUL. 'Photograph' is my favourite and probably the only single I'd actively go out my way to listen to (albeit the Felix Jaehn remix). 'Don't' is alright too. Edit: I'm quite shocked 'Photograph' is in the lead actually. It always seemed the most forgotten of his recent singles, but I guess it wasn't killed by overplay as much as the others.

No huge losses for me so far bar 'Flowers'. Glad 'My Heart Takes Over' tanked, it's hideously dull and I'm still gobsmacked that it made the top 100, let alone beat out 'Disco Love'! Whole Lotta History' is awful too.

'These Days' has grown on me massively, so I'm happy to see it finally at #1. Wouldn't have been opposed to 'Paradise' either, so here's hoping it manages to nab a week at the top at some point. Edit: Didn't realise Jess Glynne now officially had the record. I do like her, but her insane success baffles me. She's not even released a second album yet! :lol:

Both 'Pray For Me' and 'Fine Line' peaking at #11 is painful.

That's... not how a rate works. If it's any consolation, your namesake probably would've gotten my third -1 instead had it made the cut. ;)

Meh, I've always found it tuneless drivel. In fact, the Spice Girls' entire discography has aged horrifically for me, and I was never a huge fan in the first place. Ha, not with that 0 for 'All The Things She Said' you don't. Also, my gender's right there.

Not overly fussed about 'Wings' dropping out, but I'm gutted at 'Salute', 'Reggaeton Lento', and especially 'Hair'. 'Shackles' is a huge loss for me too, although it seems it completely passed me by in the voting stage, so I can hardly complain too much. :lol:

Yeah, echoing this. I wanted to love this since there actually seemed to be quite a bit of hype surrounding it, but it's SO dated and generally a bit of a racket. I can see this completely bombing unfortunately.

I'll never understand how ALMA provokes such an extreme reaction on here. :lol: Her singles + collabs have all been straight-up bangers to me; only 'Phases' wasn't up to par, but I'd consider it inoffensive at worst. I'm excited to give this a listen later on!

Yeah I'm another that really enjoys 'Always Be Together' despite how horribly cheesy it is. :lol: I opted for 'Make You Believe' and 'Case Closed' this time around. I can barely remember how either goes.
