fair enough :lol: it's out now, the verses are good but the chorus sounds like something Radio X will be playing five times a day for the next ten years (I suppose that's what I mean lol)

‘Big Dawgs’ flying up. wouldn’t be surprised to see it make top 10 eventually

'Club Classics', '365' & 'Sympathy is a Knife' for me x

brat summer etc xx

oh no :no: I saw clips of the counter-protestors by Bordesley Green McDonalds earlier and it said there had been no violence on either side. a real shame that didn't stay the case :(

yes I was very much taken aback when I first listened to the 'School Nights' EP !! it's... different to her new stuff to say the least :lol: but I'm so pleased for her that she's found her sound now and feels comfortable with her identity and of course with the music she's making <33

the solidarity + peaceful protest from the local community in Birmingham today quite comfortably overwhelmed the (perhaps surprisingly small) amount of far-right idiots. the fact people are willing to come out in numbers to stand up against fascism and Islamophobia is at least indicative that the national opinion is massively against the horrors we're seeing in our towns and cities at the moment. that's something to hold on to - I don't think things will stop immediately but I do imagine over the next days and weeks the riots and 'protests' will start to wind down into irrelevancy once more. :)

has anyone here listened to her 2020 single 'Love Me Anyway' ? I believe it's the only track from this era of releases that didn't make it onto 'Midwest Princess', but it's gorgeous :heart: a dreamier, more laid back vibe to most of this record but the style suits her so much !

ditto to this ! and I'm willing to overlook 'Good Luck, Babe!' seeming poised to miss out on ever reaching #1 officially now knowing that 'Midwest Princess' looks set to reach #1 on the album chart. as Bjork mentioned earlier, I felt Chappell might just miss out on the top spot given the (ambitious) price for the deluxe vinyl, but delighted to be proved wrong !! 'KEHLANI' climbing as high as #11 in the midweeks ?! :o I would certainly not be opposed to it snatching a surprise top 10 placing á la 'Kisses' particularly at the expense of 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' - I would prefer to see '360' get there but never mind x delighted to see 'Not Like Us' dropping as low as #45, good riddance :cheer: 'Big Dawgs' at #50, with the way it's been climbing on Spotify I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it reach the top 40 come Friday - here's hoping expecting a similar climb (into the top 50 at least) for 'Black Friday (Pretty Like The Sun) if it continues to gain on streaming ~

liking the look of Scotoche 2's entries. I know of Julianna Barwick's remix of Radiohead's 'Reckoner' & was a big fan of Wednesday's track 'Hot Rotten Grass Smell' earlier in the year so looking forward to getting stuck into those two ! the Gambian/Russian entry combo sounds intriguing, I usually LOVE African instruments so hyped for that in particular x Eleni Foureira !! 'Fuego' was ROBBED of Eurovision 2018, probably one of my favourite ESC finalists in the past decade but I haven't heard any of her music beyond that so curious to listen to 'Aeraki'. lastly, the Anitta & Isabella Lovestory combo looks exciting - I loved Anitta's 'Paradinha' a few years back & recall a collab between Isabella and Bladee with Palmistry from 2022 which was a bop x plenty of artists I'm familiar with but I don't think I've heard any of the entries before, very much excited to get listening (vote #Hinteroski xx)

oh a very interesting first pairing, I am aware of some of Molchat Doma's work but not that particular song !

exciting !

unsure if this is what you’re alluding to in your last post but thought I’d mention anyway - apparently far-right protestors/morons are planning on being in and around Small Heath/Alum Rock from 5pm today 😑 stay safe Hassaan

what’s your logic behind this :unsure:

if it continues to climb at it’s current pace it could end up as high as top 50 officially !

this would be a brilliant result for her + points towards 'Angel of my Dreams' becoming a long-running top 40 hit which would set her up perfectly for a big hit w/ her 2nd single. it certainly seems as though she's stabilised on streaming over the past few days

these scumbags don't represent Britain nor the values of the country, for every one of them there are ten others utterly disgusted by their actions ~ although I don't disagree with the second half of your statement lol, both Britain and the world would be a markedly better place if they would just disappear x

‘Here’s The Thing’ apparently coming out tomorrow. not remotely impressed by the preview, though, sounds pretty generic particularly compared to the last two singles :mellow:

Australia performing slightly better than I expected them to :o

I have confirmed (a punctual 15 minutes late :ph34r:) ! very much looking forward to the entry reveal x

would love to see 'Pink Pony Club' have a similar impact here, top 40 officially at the very least ~

congrats Nelionoir ! nice to have my 18 win overall, long may it continue x

Chappell for #1!

'Austin' top 5 ?! :o

fingers crossed !!!
