hinterland

here for Jadon Sancho going from being exiled from the Man United squad to lifting the Champions League in the space of 6 months :heehee:

(seemingly unlike most people) I adore 'I LUV IT', and I'm also obsessed with Lil Nas' current collab with Kevin Abstract, so this has all the makings of being another favourite of mine! excited.

‘MILLION DOLLAR BABY’ coming for #2 a week on Friday? :0

Tommy Richman's 'MILLION DOLLAR BABY' climbs one to #4 (synth funk + jersey club = :heart:), and Pixey's track of the same name, last week's #1, slips to #5. two more new entries in this week's top 10 - Kevin Abstract (of BROCKHAMPTON fame) delivers his best solo song in years with Lil Nas X and debuts at #6 with 'Tennessee', while former label-mate Dominic Fike's lighthearted 'misses' comes in at #7. Chappell Roan, Fontaines D.C., and Camilla Cabello round out the top 10. further new entries come from English Teacher with 'Broken Biscuits' from their first full-length release 'This Could Be Texas at #15, and Pozer's 'Malicious Intentions', follow-up to the vicious 'Kithcen Stove' at #16. current UK #1 'espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter, which has proved a grower for me, enters at #19. new entries propping up the lower end of the top 30 are SWIM's 'Never' at #26, Djo's 'End of Beginning' at #27 (technically a re-entry if my chart dated back further), Anish Kumar's 'Everything Blooms Around Her' at #28, and the sparkling synth-pop banger 'Neverender' by Justice & Tame Impala at #30. see you next thursday, and thanks to those who commented on last week's chart ^^ :heart:

'meet the grahams' is INSANE - arguably the greatest diss track ever made, I've never heard anything quite so personal and scathing. it's hard to imagine Drake showing his face in the public eye again after this.

finally got around to listening to this, ‘Never’ and ‘Reborn’ in particular are stunning 🤩 some of the synths remind me of George Fitzgerald, only a good thing ofc

that ‘MILLION DOLLAR BABY’ song is great, a very good modern interpretation of Memphis Rap - it sounds like it’ll be a top 5 hit at the very minimum!
