T Boy

Tess is the worst actor ever but I love her.

Were Ed’s no.1s hard to license? Or did Now just not want those huge hits on their albums?

I’m sure they would definitely refuse to include Taylor on Nows because there’s absolutely no way her huge fan base would purchase the Nows just because she was on them. Why have Taylor on a Now when you can have Nathan Evans, Jess Glynne or Becky Hill twice?

Then what is the reason?

Ok so they’ve tried to explain away Debbie’s family but of course it doesn’t all quite stick. Why send money to an account instead of pay directly? Why say you couldn’t visit her because she won’t be smiley like she used to be even though she was grinning like a Cheshire Cat throughout the entire coma? Definitely feels now that Reiss was probably directly responsible for the stroke.

I mean, I was only 8 when those Tories left office but even I know that they weren’t as openly crooked as this last shower. They did some horrific things but there was a sense they believed them the right things to do whereas this last lot just wore it right on their sleeves, particularly Johnson onwards.

How do we know anyone is telling the truth? How do we know you present your true self on this board? Feels like such a redundant question at this point.

Not sure what my nationality had to do with the Tory leadership race tbh. I know my history but given how previous conservative governments were nowhere near as openly crooked as the last bunch were, I’m allowed to have hope that people would remember this going forward.

Debbie’s parents look ridiculously well to do for two people that never lifted a finger to help pay for their daughter’s health care.

I mean, they’re all terrible so I wouldn’t know how to vote. I’m not even sure it matters after today given it should now be decades before they’re let in again.

What? You mean that people defended someone when there was no police investigation or evidence of illegality at the time? Awful people, need hanging. Of course, now that there have been charges brought against him, those morons are completely unable to change their positions on this and therefore must still be defending him to the hilt! They should have thought about it at the time! And now you’re the only virtuous one here who can live completely without shame. Seriously though, the fact this is your first take at the news is very telling. I mean, I’m sad that someone like Huw has been involved in this kind of thing, I’m not wishing shame on anyone looking on the Brightside or giving someone the benefit of the doubt. But I’m also pretty sure you’re the person who defended Lucy Letby so I’m not sure I can handle your hypocrisy.

And how did I forget this? iQk5yPlIv-g? Was there anything iconic this woman couldn’t do?

Not the first post I thoughtI’d post in here but here’s a tribute to Lyn Scully and fallen icon Janet Andrewartha. KCV4UKPN0Rk? AtkE6r0QQIw? dCZFavEgtr0? cBI3kEy2SLI? FmdFo5yyXhE? oxOGxCJgI58? oe8gGn6v0wI? Comedy and drama in equal measure. Lyn will be missed. RIP Janet.

It may be interesting to you, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but the point the article is making is that this kind of chart isn’t interesting for those who may once have had a casual interest in it. Most people won’t be aware that the current no.3 is peaking on its 16th week in the chart because a lot of them were probably over that song at least six weeks ago and it’s now just background music on a popular playlist to them. You can paint the chart as interesting but you can’t paint the people as interested.

It’s always been extremely odd that Debbie seemed to have no other family, no one else that could help with the medical fees. It’s going to be even more odd finding out she does after all this.

Of course people fall out of love with chart music as they get older but none of this is about that. The charts are not just uninteresting for 35 year old me, but they’re uninteresting to young people outside of this forum too. Most kids I teach at school couldn’t tell you who was no.1, some aren’t even aware the chart is a thing. They’re all still very into their music-some listen to chart music a lot and some actually prefer to listen to older stuff. This isn’t about music and nostalgia for music. It’s about the fact that the chart is just pretty irrelevant now. The chart show itself is pretty much the only time it gets mentioned these days. The interest in the concept of the chart is waning despite the fact that interest in music is a strong as ever. It’s insulting to say it’s just a load of old people nostalgic for the olden days-it’s actually really dismissive but that’s hardly anything new for the Chart forum or Buzzjack as a whole these days. The fact is that the chart is less relevant to people and their lives than it ever has been. And it will continue to go that way. People don’t need it for music enjoyment anymore and that’s not necessarily a good or a bad thing. But my point is that whilst people will be nostalgic for the charts of old, they probably won’t be for the charts of recent years because they’ve had no impact on their lives. There’ll be nostalgia for the music, but not the charts.

Thanks for explaining something I didn’t need explaining to me and completely missing my point by also proving it.

I don’t see anything wrong with the article really. The charts are boring, people are less interested and it was more interesting in the past. That’s nothing to do with the music in the charts but when you base something around listening habits, it’s always going to be boring. People are generally boring in what they listen to. I know people will claim that people always look more fondly on things from the past and that there were always issues in the chart. All of that is true. However, it’s hard to imagine anyone looking back on the last 5-10 years of the chart with lots of nostalgia because of the fact that people aren’t paying much attention to any of it now. It’ll never get back how it was but you can’t blame people for missing those days. More variety and movement in the chart, Top Of The Pops every week, acts regularly promoting on TV. It’s not the done thing anymore but it was great. It’s not snobbery to point that out. On this board, it’s not a real representation of how people view the charts. I can’t really understand why so many still follow them as religiously as they do particularly when they’re able to so fairly accurately predict what will happen in them. Even this week I’ve seen someone say they’re disappointed Jade isn’t in contention for no.1 and then been ridiculed because they don’t understand how these things work. It feels like a lot of people follow the charts purely for numbers and statistics rather than music. It’s hard work for anyone to follow and understand the charts these days. I gave up following closely a long time ago.

Not only did Sonia not initially sign in, she had the big confrontation with the receptionist where she notably did sign in whereas we didn’t see Reiss do so. She also managed to get her DNA all over Debbie’s pillow by ‘making her feel more comfortable’ and expressed to Martin about how things would be easier if Debbie was dead. That and airing her desperate money woes and reluctant martyring in selling the house to her extended family, she’s basically set herself up with no help at all. Only thing is I’m not sure I’d buy Reiss allowing Sonia to go down for it given she is the reason he’s done all of this.

Looks like if today’s episode is anything to go by.

They actually had Denny hit Sharon twice with both the different actors if I recall. But they squandered any chance of an actual storyline. I seem to remember Ian knowingly referencing a mark on Sharon’s face that came from first Denny hinting that she needed to stop spoiling him or he’ll continue to abuse her and the second Denny we saw punch her on screen. This would have been an interesting route to go down with us having seen on screen that Sharon had always spoiled Denny growing up but then she had too many storylines going on already and Denny was dead within the year. It will be interesting to see where this goes with Tommy and Kat. And don’t forget, this isn’t the first time Tommy has attacked one of his parents. He punched Alfie last year.

Everyone calling Elaine the wrong name all the time is my favourite current storyline tbh.

I’ve recently revisited Irene’s era and she and Terry were absolutely brilliant characters. RIP Roberta.

She’ll either wake up when Sonia goes into labour or Reiss will kill her to avoid having to pay her fees.

Scrap the whole thing. It’s gone too far now and it’s unsaveably crap. Play an official streaming chart on Radio 1 and an official sales chart on Radio 2. Keep the demographics happy. Play a top 20 album chart somewhere too once streams are removed from it.
