HOT 100 4.11.25 #57 10. Mutt – Leon Thomas (No change/39 weeks in chart) 9. I Got Better - Morgan Wallen (No change/24 weeks in chart) 8. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (Down 3/4 weeks in the chart) 7. Folded – Kehlani (Up 7/NEW PEAK/20 weeks in chart) 6. Daisies – Justin Bieber (Up 1/16 weeks in chart) 5. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Up 3/NEW PEAK/10 weeks in chart) 4. Opalite – Taylor Swift (No change/4 weeks in chart) 3. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/38 weeks in chart) 2. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/19 weeks in chart) 1. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (No change/4 weeks No. 1/4 weeks in chart) NEW ENTRIES: 100. Favourite Country Song – HARDY (6/10) It's honestly been months since I've heard this, and months later it sounds the EXACT same. In this song (and in most of his new album), HARDY makes zero attempt to give a fresh, unique character to his music, which is especially needed at this point in his career if he wants to stay relevant. It's another stale country acoustic song that doesn't dive deep on any level… and I mean any. This guy is NOT Morgan Wallen. 96. Amor – Emmanuell Cortes (5/10) A traditional love song by the Mexican artist that feels all so bland and lacking in difference. It's worrying how so many of these uninspired songs are ruling the Hot 100. The industry can NOT have a creative collapse. With that being said, there's not much more to add on this; I mean, even the instrumental progression is boring. 87. A Couple Minutes - Olivia Dean (8.1/10) I was surprised by Olivia's US chart run going as large as it did… and now we're getting a even more chart?! Wow, she's smashing it with this run! Onto this, and it's honestly even better than "Man I Need" (by far). I just love the warm soul she adds to tracks; it gives a comforting feeling throughout the whole song like a warm hug, especially seeing that Dean seems to have a passion for the well-executed smooth R&B sound. Oh, and I also love the violin opening; I wish that was more throughout the whole track! 66. I'm Not There For You – Jessie Murph (7.7/10) The beat feels like it leans into rap beats more than any other song on "Sex Hysteria"—in fact, I'd call this more rap than country, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think her "screaming" vocals don't come out as much here, nor do they kill the vibe as much as her other songs, and I certainly favour the groovy progression. 64. Beautiful Things - Megan Moroney (7.6/10) A song that feels like it's from a soft-hearted view, especially with the descriptions of the kind people and how they can be broken. Some may call this standard for a slow Luke Combs-ish country song, but I think it's built upon the definition of the song very well. 50. Spaghetti – LE SSERAFIM/J-HOPE (4/10) Previous listen: "Spaghetti" is simply a TikTok level of thought, which is supposed to have a sound which appeals to youngsters, despite the lyrics going explicit. That's a bad decision considering I don't know who's listening to this other than kids. The tone is giving nursery rhymes. Second listen: You know what the awkward "ee-eh-ee-ee-ah" reminds me of? That stupid floating meme cat that went viral. If you get the reference, you get it. Well anyways, for a K-pop song it has standard but partly slick rapping, but the general theme of the song just saying "Spaghetti" and "Bon Appétit" as if it's meant for a Samsung advert sounds cringe, almost like a bad BLACKPINK song. 38. Lover Girl – Megan Thee Stallion (7.3/10) A bad bitch horny rap song with occasional pop cut-ins that I wish were longer and went further; they reflect a more dreamy side of R&B that could have served as a nice side to the fierce rapping by Megan. RE-ENTRIES: 98. I Ain't Comin' Back – Morgan Wallen/Post Malone [Wasn't expecting this back after seeing how long it's been gone.] 77. 20 Cigarettes - Morgan Wallen [GREAT SONG! :D] 47. This Is Halloween – The Citizens Of Halloween [I don't really care for hearing this.] 32. Thriller – Michael Jackson [A classic! I wonder how this'll do next week.] NOTEABLE CHANGES: Songs that climbed 10 spots or more: 22. Back In The Saddle – Luke Combs (Up 10) [HIGHEST CLIMBER] Songs that fell 10 spots or more: 99.

UK TOP 100 31.11.25 #57 THE TOP TEN: 10. How It's Done – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Down 1/Sales climb/6 weeks in chart) 9. History – Dave/James Blake (NEW) 8. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (Down 1/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart) 7. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (Down 1/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart) 6. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Down 4/Sales fall/11 weeks in chart) 5. Raindance – Dave/Tems (NEW) 4. Opalite – Taylor Swift (Up 1/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart) 3. Where Is My Husband (Up 1/Sales fall/6 weeks in chart) 2. The Fate Of Ophelia – Taylor Swift (Down 1/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart) 1. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 2/Sales climb/9 Weeks No. 1/19 weeks in chart) NEW ENTRIES: 70. Rubber Band Man – Mumford & Sons/Hozier (7.6/10) Previous review: Mudford & Sons keeps a route that has the same feel as their last album, with Hozier tagging on in what I'd describe as a song with just the right amount of passion & pitch, which Mumford tends to get right when carrying their songs. Second listen: Actually, you know what this reminds me of? "All My Love" by Noah Kahan, but without the stop between words on the main part of the hook. It has that addictive upbeat acoustic section that's really brought to life in a lively way; it's really enjoyable! 50. My Addiction - Skye Newman (8.1/10) 46. Spaghetti – LE SSERAFIM/J-HOPE (4/10) Previous listen: "Spaghetti" is simply a TikTok level of thought, which is supposed to have a sound which appeals to youngsters, despite the lyrics going explicit. That's a bad decision considering I don't know who's listening to this other than kids. The tone is giving nursery rhymes. Second listen: You know what the awkward "ee-eh-ee-ee-ah" reminds me of? That stupid floating meme cat that went viral. If you get the reference, you get it. Well anyways, for a K-pop song it has standard but partly slick rapping, but the general theme of the song just saying "Spaghetti" and "Bon Appétit" as if it's meant for a Samsung advert sounds cringe, almost like a bad BLACKPINK song. 44. Almost – Lewis Capaldi (7.7/10) Lewis releases his 3rd out of 4 songs from his November 2025 "Survive" EP, in which he belts out loud vocals to a heightened sad hook about love. I like how it fits the extreme tone of his other songs, but it's not exactly good knowing that there's only one song to look forward to in the EP – and will the EP possibly worsen the expected quicker album push? (Which may come in early 2025) – the only positive is the slightly quicker releases. 19. Madeline – Lily Allen (7.5/10) 18. FU & UF - Skye Newman (7.1/10) I'm not too keen on Skye Newman's way of singing, nor do her songs fill a gap in my heart that needed to be filled, but what I do see are improvements in what people believe to be an upcoming album. Her voice on this makes me think of a house-style produced Tones And I X Amy Winehouse, with the progression building up to a more natural instrumental hook. I think the piano & beat hits really give off a nice level of intensity too; it helps build emotion. 17. West End Girl - Lily Allen (7.5/10) 12. Pussy Palace – Lily Allen (7.7/10) Breaking up with a known actor and singing about how you thought they might've had a sex addiction is pretty crazy, but let's cover it... In this song, Lily takes the route of many songs that try and give an ethereal R&B kind of feel, with synths that sound out of this world and dreamy but are instead mixed with the world of radio pop. 11. Chapter 16 - Dave/Kano (7.9/10) 9. History – Dave/James Blake (7.8/10) 5. Raindance – Dave/Tems (7.7/10) Dave collaborates with Nigerian singer Tems on what some would argue is the best song on Dave's newest album. I think the Tems part really gives the song elegance in the way "Luther" does, where Tems uplifts the song's value too with Dave's verse, which was already quite passable. RE-ENTRIES: 100. Pompeii - Bastille [Why does this randomly return?] 98. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson [CLASSIC.] 96. Another Love - Tom Odell [Did its resurgence years ago end up keeping it alive today??] 93. Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears [Nothing more really needs to be said on this.] 88. Every Breath You Take - Police [Sue me... it's overrated as HECK.] 78. Dakota - Stereophonics [Same thing I said for Tears For Fears.] 33. Thriller - Michael Jackson [Not as good as "Billie Jean".] 25. Family Matters - Skye Newman [I actually learnt to like her music. she's still an industry plant though.] NOTEABLE CHANGES: Songs that climbed 10 spots or more: 81. Bittersweet - Madison Beer (Up 11) 73. Breakin' Dishes - Rihanna (Up 14) 61. 4 Rows - Esdeekid (Up 15) [HIGHEST CLIMBER] Songs that fell 10 spots or more: 95.

UK TOP 100 24.10.25 #56 THE TOP TEN: 10. Rein Me In – Sam Fender/Olivia Dean (Up 3/19 weeks in chart) 9. How It's Done – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 3/NEW PEAK/5 weeks in chart) 8. Nice To Each Other - Olivia Dean (Down 1/Sales fall/21 weeks in chart) 7. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (Down 1/Sales fall/3 weeks in chart) 6. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (Up 2/NEW PEAK/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart) 5. Opalite – Taylor Swift (Down 1/Sales fall/2 weeks in chart) 4. Where Is My Husband! - Raye (Up 1/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart) 3. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/Sales fall/18 weeks in chart) 2. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (No change/Sales fall/10 weeks in chart) 1. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (No change/3 weeks at No. 1/3 weeks in chart) NEW ENTRIES: 92. Bittersweet - Madison Beer (7.5/10) Very commercial; there are no huge twists and turns, but still a good progression, although I do like the synths and overall mixing, which adds to her vocals in a more angelic way compared to if she did it without them. I wonder if this is a part of an album... 👀 The recent single rollout makes it look like a yes. 75. Symmetry – Ed Sheeran/Karan Aujla (8.3/10) So I've had over a week now to digest this song, and it really didn't catch on to my most streamed at first, but after hearing this, I really think he's redeemed himself from the Indian music merge of "Sapphire". With this, he finds himself in similar territory but instead backed by a club mix that feels like something we could've got from a Fred Again collab or such, with the sound leaning into that huge backing of hip-hop influences too. I quite like how both artists get their part equally and how the layers overlap really well. I think it's a highlight of the "Play" era too. 43. Think About Us – Sonny Fedora/D.O.D/Baskcomb (7.3/10) Previous listen: Synths that have some life but overall still feel stale compared to Sonny's past hits and what else he's shown us. I don't think this'll do it for many people; it's just fine EDM, just fine. Second listen (+0.8 in score): The modified vocals heard before synths may not be the best sign for Sonny's future songs – but I still wouldn't mind this playing in the sun. 39. My Old Ways - Tame Impala (7.7/10) The main repeated line of "back into my old ways again" is a representation of repeating past events, which in this case feels like it's relating more to an addiction side, where you can't stop but want to. I feel a part of the electro-funk feeling repeated was a good choice to really stick in the song's meaning, as you just keep coming back to that feeling, which is in fact a good main representation of the song's definition. I find this the most interesting thing I've heard from the album so far, and I'm loving the mixing on this. 37. Pixelated Kisses – Joji (8.4/10) The long-awaited new Joji, after 3 years… Now, if you don't know me, then "Die For You" is my favourite song of all time, and his last album, "Smithereens", is a top 10 album of all time for me, so waiting for him to drop his next release had me tense. And honestly? It's a completely new direction, but I'm vibing! Joji's signature dreamy vocals feature on top of a 1:50 rage beat that's a LOT more intense but actually complements the vocals in such a weird way, but also in such a way that adds life. I'm seriously so hyped to have a legend of this decade return; we should be so thankful for what Joji has brought to music over the past few years. 20. Talk To You – Sam Fender/Elton John (7.8/10) This song is a great reflection on looking back at the past. I find the guitar and piano bring this live feel as if you were there, especially in the second part where the guitar shines through everything else to create an array of beauty. 13. What It Sounds Like – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (7.8/10) Enough time has passed – this is the best song on the Demon Hunters soundtrack; they have the most chemistry, especially on the hook where the characters create one of the most raw & deep parts of the soundtrack where they face their issues. It's one part that makes the K-pop Demon Hunters storyline feel complete, so with that, it's deserving of that title. And of course, a very well-played role by the singers who hit the high notes very well when forming the songs' highest pitch too. RE-ENTRIES: 96. The Sick - Bella Kay [The push for this song keeps continuing!] 86. Loser – Tame Impala [I'm not mad about this re-entry.] 28. People Watching - Sam Fender [The recent Sam Fender chart revival seems to be working.] NOTEABLE CHANGES: Songs that climbed 10 spots or more: 81. Where The Wild Things Are - Luke Combs (Up 13) 78. That's So True – Gracie Abrams (Up 10) 71. Depressed - Anne-Marie (Up 21) [HIGHEST CLIMBER] 67. Escapism – Raye/070 Shake (Up 11) 62. Gone Gone Gone - David Guetta/Teddy Swims/Tones And I (Up 20) 60. Sports Car - Tate McRae (Up 15) 57. MAYBE. - Sienna Spiro (Up 15) 53. Ocean – Calvin Harris/Jessie Reyez (Up 17) 21. Dracula – Tame Impala (Up 18) 16.

UK TOP 100 17.10.25 #55 THE TOP TEN: 10. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Down 1/Sales fall/16 weeks in chart) 9. 12 To 12 - Sombr (Up 1/Sales fall/12 weeks in chart) 8. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (Up 4/NEW PEAK/3 weeks in chart) 7. Nice To Each Other - Olivia Dean (Up 1/Sales fall/20 weeks in chart) 6. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (Down 3/2 weeks in the chart) 5. Where Is My Husband! - RAYE (Up 1/Sales climb/4 weeks in chart) 4. Opalite – Taylor Swift (Down 2/2 weeks in chart) 3. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 2/Sales climb/17 weeks in chart) 2. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Up 2/Sales fall/9 weeks in chart) 1. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (No change/2 weeks No. 1/2 weeks in chart) NEW ENTRIES: 94. Where The Wild Things Are - Luke Combs (7.6/10) Damn, it's been like 2 years since I've seen this song! With that being said, I've never actually heard it until now, despite its popularity and the fact that Luke Combs is a talented artist. And I'm honestly wishing I actually heard this, because not only does Combs deliver the powerful guitar kick and fiery passion, but it also fits the meaning of a story of death for someone who grew up doing the things they wanted to. I think this song has that character in it. 82. Gone Gone Gone - David Guetta/Teddy Swims/Tones And I (8/10) David Guetta brings a flavour-packed radio sound, which Teddy Swims then sings across the pop sound, which slightly made me think of Jelly Roll's "Liar", with the jazz section reminding me of a sound that Amy Winehouse would've probably used. And I just love Tones. And I'll touch on this; it just really shows how far she's come as an artist since the times of "Dance Monkey". 66. Sirens (From Ireland) – Skepta/Finessekid (7.5/10) Previous listen: Pretty standard for a Skepta rapping session; I still like his flow, though. Second listen: Another moment in the UK rap scene comes from two, with an unapologetic feel that starts from the start of the song, where they both don't shy away from the mic. It's not anything special, but they've got flow; they should add in more than just that basic beat, though. 65. You Stole The Show - Sienna Spiro (7.5/10) Previous listen: 6.5/10 Second listen: [+1 point in score] She started off being like Billie Eilish, and now she finds herself delving into the sounds of Lauren Spencer Smith more, but without the over-the-top tone as much. In other words, we're getting songs about another time in Sienna's life, a time that isn't with her now but she still tried to reimagine for the sake of adding depth to her songs. I think the more ambient instruments suit Spiro's sad, belting & raspy vocals, which carry the song to a pretty good status. 57. Part Of Me – Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (7/10) A less hardcore rap about Boogie's breakups and tough time, which he doesn't exactly tell the best; his pace and choice of words don't bring this across in a great way, although I see potential with vocal effects. The vocal effects absolutely bring this listen up a few points. 53. Gravity – Hazbin Hotel/Jessica Vosk (5/10) This feels like a bad PRESIDENT song but if it was made for a children's show. And as far as I'm concerned, Hazbin Hotel is a show. I don't know if it's a kids' show; in fact,the only thing I know about it is that people online say that it's a brainrot show. And from this? I wouldn't doubt it. The vocal mixing with the stale progression makes the song have this artificial feel as if AI partly assisted with the mixing. There's then this forte part in the song where things just feel like they're coming together as nearly as dull as a TV cartoon rock song can be. 37. Eyes Closed – Jisoo/Zayn (7.5/10) BLACKPINK's Jisoo and One Direction's Zayn work together on a song that feels better than expected. I mean, you could've expected this style, but I don't think people expected it to work this well. I mean, it's a ballad that shows both their styles in a way that you could expect to see, but it's just the way they connect with their voices sounding made together for this song, with the tone just fitting that soft but sad paradise that they're going for. 26. Die On This Hill - Sienna Spiro (8.2/10) Sienna leaves the Billie Eilish replica sound even more and instead leans into more of an Olivia Dean but without the jazz, as the powerful sound and beautiful piano progression showcase how she's finding her own sound, and she's bringing us along every step of the journey. Also in the second half I love how everything feels so much deeper; this is a breathtaking showcase of talent. RE-ENTRIES: 79. Sally When The Wine Runs Out - Role Model [Great song.] 72. MAYBE. - Sienna Spiro [Unexpected re-entry, but I'm not complaining!] 45. Stateside - PinkPantheress [Hell yeah!] 12. How It's Done – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami [It's still kind of a bop.] NOTEABLE CHANGES: Songs that climbed 10 spots or more: 81. 4 Raws – Esdeekid (Up 11) [JOINT HIGHEST CLIMBER] 68.

UK TOP 100 10.10.25 #54 THE TOP TEN: 10. 12 To 12 - Sombr (Down 3/Sales fall/10 weeks in chart) 9. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Down 1/Sales fall/15 weeks in chart) 8. Nice To Each Other - Olivia Dean (Down 4/Sales fall/19 weeks in chart) 7. Soda Pop – Saja Boys (Down 2/Sales fall/Down 2) 6. Where Is My Husband – Raye (Down 3/Sales fall/3 weeks in chart) 5.

Opalite - Taylor Swift (NEW) 1. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (NEW) NEW ENTRIES: 92. 4 Raws - Esdeekid (3/10) This song was the first on Esdeekid's only mixtape, and weirdly enough it doesn't appear to be a single. My guess is that his success with "Phantom" attracted people to the mixtape's start. And honestly, I have to say it, his accent ruined another rap song. Yes, he can kind of rap, but it just sounds so badly produced, with certain layers covering others too much, and those layers just sounding like he leaned into his style in a half-baked, glitchy way that feels like it disappoints. That's 2 for 2 fails; Esdeekid is really disappointing me. 89. Lemonade - Louis Tomlinson (5.8/10) Previous listen: The One Direction member returns to his solo career with an upbeat song in which he screams the song's title in a way that's supposed to feel like a fresh and natural kick, although I don't think it meets that mark. Second listen: I'm sorry, but this reminds me of some of Robbie Williams' viral stage performances, where the hype just really isn't there and false elevation was used on the hook, which had no passion to begin with. Aside from that, it's a fairly basic pop song. 51. Wrongs – D-Block Europe/Lil Tjay (5/10) Previous listen: A regularly produced rap song that doesn't fit the UK rap scene as we know it typically, despite this song still sounding typical. Second listen [-2.5 points] Yeah… it's like if any American artist like Lil Baby or whoever made a rap song, but instead it's British. There is literally nothing worth adding; I can't believe I even liked this at first. In fact, I still think I might be being nice with my score. 47. You're A Star – Fred Again/Amyl & The Sniffers (7.9/10) Fred Again's mixing has this distorted but interesting sound that makes you want to explore its world; it fits a club vibe where there are lights and darker rooms, but not everybody is dancing; they're just moving how they want too. It makes me capture this moment that songs don't tend to, and I think for Fred Again to define his sound whilst keeping being able to make things like this is great. 3. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (8.3/10) 2. Opalite - Taylor Swift (7.5/10) 1. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (8.3/10) Releasing as the lead single for Taylor's new album, we start with a song where I can definitely see radio potential, but it doesn't grip me as much as her other lead singles do. On one hand this feels like a slightly brighter version of some things we got on "TTPD", and it certainly has the substance to carry the songs' notes & direction; it's just not her finest lead single. Now that's said, this song is rumoured to be about her husband, Travis Kelce; I don't know if that's true. RE-ENTRIES: 73. Suzanne – Mark Ronson/Raye [Mid.

UK TOP 100 3.10.25 #53 THE TOP TEN: 10. Tears - Sabrina Carpenter (Down 1/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart) 9. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (NEW) 8. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Down 2/Sales fall/14 weeks in chart) 7. 12 To 12 - Sombr (No change/Sales fall/10 weeks in chart) 6. Tit For Tat - Tate Mcrae (N EW) 5. Soda Pop – Saja Boys (No change/Sales fall/11 weeks in chart) 4. Nice To Each Other – Olivia Dean (Up 4/Sales climb/NEW PEAK/18 weeks in chart) 3. Where Is My Husband – Ray's (Up 1/NEW PEAK/Sales climb/2 weeks in chart) 2. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Down 1/Sales fall/15 weeks in chart) 1. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Up 1/1 week No. 1/Sales climb/7 weeks in chart) NEW ENTRIES: 91. Everything Is Romantic - Charli XCX (7.5/10) You know, I always considered re-reviewing "BRAT". Maybe I was unfair too, Charli... maybe I didn't let the album in at the right time. Well, I previously gave this song a 1/10; now I'd say it's a 7.5/10. I kind of understand the lyrics more as well as the whole electronics coming in on the darker-like beat that sounds like it's for a sad song. Charli's vocals blend with it too to create this nostalgic sound that really feels like it could represent an era. There. You have it. I take it back. 66. Come Find Me – MK/Clementine Douglas (8.2/10) Why is this week full of songs that remind me of nostalgia already?? This song's bass has this nice ground of mellowness, but it's also got a kick that really helps the song build on me, with a sound that could even make it into Ibiza! I wasn't expecting these two to make something this good. I'm very happy with the result – great progression. 61. Dr Feel Right – Josh Baker/Egyptian Lover/Rome (8/10) Old-school funk methods are used with more of a modern sound, with the synthesisers and producers making the most out of every input. This is not only the best Josh Baker song, but it's also spot on to get his name out there more! I really hope this is his next hit; it's sexy but not too sexy, and it's slow but also great for the club. It's an all-round banger. 42. Dracula – Tame Impala (7.2/10) Previous listen: These singles are really just getting better and better! I like when Tame lean into a catchy little quick bop rather than 7-minute songs. It suits them. Second listen: [-0.3/10 in score] A nu-disco synth-funk song that doesn't exactly tick any specific decade's sound, but instead what it does tick is the box of enjoyment. 41. Now Or Never – Tkandz/Cxsper (5.5/10) I'm surprised how high this charted since I and others seem not to know who these two are. Anyways, here we have a song where the rapper sounds like a Black and less heavy vocal version of Central Cee, or maybe it's just because they're British; I don't really know. The song uses the same hip-hop pads that half of the rap songs do, with everything sounding like a song that a SoundCloud rapper could've come up with. I'm sorry, but this isn't 2018. 34. Gorgeous – Doja Cat (8.2/10) I quite like this as a luxury and refined pop follow-up too. "Jealous Type", the cut scene in the middle, definitely wasn't a good choice, especially for a song that you're trying to advertise as the next single. But despite that, we still have minutes' worth of a song that feels like a mix of bad bitch energy and a song to lie on the beach to. That being said, I don't think this has big radio potential. 32. Stay (If You Wanna Dance) - Myles Smith (7/10) On one hand it's quite manufactured and similar to "Gold", but it's low-key a guilty pleasure. The hook is quite chill and fun; I'd call it danceable, but in the end I can't give it too high a rating due to the general fakeness surrounding the elements of the song. 17. House Tour – Sabrina Carpenter (7.5/10) This song sounds like a rebooted version of the dance songs we got in the 80s-90s, especially from artists like Madonna. I like the shine from the older pop synths, and with the vocals and lyrics, it made me think of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Our House". What a mix LOL. 9. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (8/10) This song more so resembles the layout of a Laufey song rather than her mall pop style "Man I Need"; it keeps up the feeling of naturalness we get from Olivia's music, with every instrument playing a clear part in the song. This one was actually the best I've heard from the album so far! I'll listen in full to the album later. 6. Tit For Tat - Tate McRae (8/10) You know what this reminds me of a little? 2023 pop: Doja Cat! Where the production is the most different from any Tate song, as much as I don't think this is the best way to open a possible new era, I definitely see this being a single. I think the synths bring this dreamy, floating feel that feels very bright, like something you'd hear at a shiny disco; it has its equal touch of grace but with a very danceable tone. I love it!
