hinterland

yay for the extra 24 hours, having trouble settling on a 12 (very strong semi!)

+5 Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds - Three Lions +4 Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! +3 Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please +2 Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso +1 Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER -1 Myles Smith - Stargazing -2 Dasha - Austin -3 Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy) -4 Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help -5 Eminem - Houdini

what is your rationale for this, like I can't possibly understand how you'd think this is a good idea lol

ACR is pretty solid, removing it would make the chart unbearably dull - I recall listening to the chart show every Friday at university in 2016/17 and sometimes there'd be weeks where the entire top 10 stayed completely static :') (same era as when Drake did his 15 week stint at #1 I believe, need I say more x) I would perhaps increase the ACR ratio slightly to help ease songs out of the top 40 at a faster pace.

did anyone hear about South Sudan being a minute away from beating the USA in a friendly basketball game yesterday? very impressive

loving the look of the new format personally ^_^

3/4 predictions for me to qualify woo, feeling quite optimistic about qualifying now after being unsure at first x

No(e) Biden :lol:

amazing for JADE, top 5 debut incoming

nice to know we should get 2 proper new entries in the top 10 this week :cheer:

Chappell climbing and JADE top 3?! :jameela:

top 4 !!!

not Dasha at #9 on the week Sabrina first reached #1 with 'Espresso', and now 'Espresso' has hit ACR Dasha is above Sabrina at #8 :lol:

farewell, 'Espresso'! also JADE top 7 :cheer:

likewise! ‘Naked in Manhattan’ is one of the best pop songs I’ve heard in some years, that bridge *_*

this sounds fun, Hinterlandia would like to take part x

would love to see a top 10 debut for JADE and a climb back into the top 4 for Chappell. 'Misses' reaching the top 40 wouldn't go a-Miss either :heehee:

this is really really strong for a debut single, and the 2nd single sounds great too! can see a fair bit of critical acclaim coming her way with this era

thanks Jack for telling us 'Please Please Please' hasn't got to #1 :mellow:

not entirely, only from the end of November to end of December

'Habits' will presumably be the sole new entry in the top 10 EDIT - never mind lol

looking forward to not seeing any Eminem songs again in the top 40 in a few weeks time x

omg yes I got back to my laptop just as 'Cruel Summer' was finishing as well ! *_* only had to endure 1 Taylor song today x

omg Jack's presenting style is SO jarring. bring back Jameela Jamil x

'Kisses' is exactly the type of song I'd usually detest but I'm finding it reasonably enjoyable today. minus points for the rather unimaginative album cover tho x PS: just clocked that 'Birds in The Sky' has fallen out of the top 40!! :cheer:
