MAYHEM—Lady Gaga—Mellope Album Review OVERVIEW: This is one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life; every song lived up to a quality and posed no huge weaknesses. I was questioning the album when I heard a huge dance radio hit and then "Die With A Smile" being on the same album, but then it all pieces together like a puzzle; it all clicks. She doesn't just do it like her usual though, oh no, she combines sounds from different decade and even has rock tracks which are cleverly crafted with Gaga's vocals just being a POWERHOUSE, along with meaning and a clear purpose that you can hear with every song. I highly recommend this, and in my track-by-track review, there is so much more I would love to cover. TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW: 1. Disease (6/10) Ok, so I wasn't a fan of this, and I agree it certainly wasn't Gaga's finest, but now it's gotten stuck in my head a bit, and I have to admit that it's not that bad, although a lot of bad songs get stuck in my head (I don't know why). So I had to stay true to my heart and give this a 6/10 because it's solid, but I want to rate down to talent as well, and this just feels like something for the radio instead of showing Gaga's full capability. 2. Abracadabra (8/10) Seeing Gaga's upcoming album has songs called 'Garden Of Eden' and 'The Beast,' and seeing the song references the devil in a more darker setting, I wouldn't be surprised if she was going to pull another 'Judas' moment. But you know I'm not biased and only rate off the actual song, so it's actually very catchy and grew a lot from the first listen. It's a pump of electronic energy that reminds me of Gaga's older era of dance music and brings back her style in a jam-packed party bop that concerns finding the magic through the challenges. It's a pleasing song and sets a high standard for the rest of 'MAYHEM.' 3. Garden of Eden (7.8/10) Now that the Gaga album is out, we are left with the promoted single 'Garden Of Eden,' which is a good choice to put at the start of the album. It's fun, it makes you want to dance, and just like 'Abracadabra,' it's a rollercoaster of a party, which I truly believe has the power to get picked up by radio or even take Gaga to number one, and we need a hit single with staying power because right now 2025 has just been songs recycled from 2024. I'll be looking forward to hearing the full album 'Mayhem,' and this song is making me look forward to it even more! 4. Perfect Celebrity (9/10) This is the first song from the album I've heard when actually sitting down to hear the whole thing, and WOWZERS!! GAGA IS GOING ALL KILLER NO FILLER WITH THIS!! We got a rock-pop powerhouse that sounds like Disease but even better; her vocals have that extraordinary passion for the MAYHEM era, which I love to see. Gaga isn't playing any games with this one! Easily the best thing I've heard from her! 5. Vanish Into You (9/10) DON'T YOU DARE BASH THIS!! THIS IS PEAK!! THIS IS FROM THE ICON. FROM THE MOMENT. OOOONA NA NAAAAA. OK, I'm going to calm down now and act serious because I'm getting a little too excited. Gaga delivers a pop song that's easy to understand but still hits hard with its radio-friendly hook and signature style. This feels like a great song to sum up Gaga, the powerful vocal holds, and the constant beat pulse that keeps you amazed throughout the whole song. You have to hear this! 6. Killah (Feat. Gesaffelstein) (7.9/10) Can't knock this either because it's a well-made song. It brings a retro feeling that sounds like it would fit a 70s bar scene, with the backing screams and rock; it really sounds like Gaga switched things up while keeping her all-loved pop style. I wasn't expecting her to deliver something like this, but if you like those old guitar plucks and are one for the 70s-sounding rock, then this is for you! 7. Zombieboy (8.2/10) This is real dance music; it sounds like something off of Tension II but instead with more glamour. Just like the previous songs, this sounds like it has serious potential to be a lead single with its coating of old-style production but still sounding like it can be a hit today; it sounds fit for any era in the charts. Dance or die! 8. LoveDr*g (6/10) This was a step down. As much as this had quality, it felt like a huge letdown for the next song and really dropped the phrase "dance or die." In fact, I feel like this could be a lead-up to a slower pace, seeing that the last song on the album is "Die With A Smile." 9. How Bad Do U Want Me (7/10) Ok, so we're leaning into a sound that fits Taylor Swift, with the lyrics and vocals matching her. I wouldn't be surprised if this was inspired by her. And as I predicted, we are losing "dance or die" a lot more because this more feels like a song to sit and relate to rather than going all out dancing; it builds more of a sound that's like a strong, lead Taylor Swift song. 10. Don't Call Tonight (7.2/10) It has a very bold, strong, and upfront sound that holds power in Gaga's vocals; if she keeps this pace up, then this album is set for a very high score! We are bringing back more of the dance with this one! 11. Shadow Of A Man (8.3/10) It's like the 2000s pop songs with effects and those groovy beat pads that make you want to dance; this is yet another hit and great move from Lady Gaga. 12. The Beast (7.6/10) Ok, OKKKK!! We are working with this; I can feel the buildup from the dance tunes to the slightly slower buildup to the final track, and she's still bossing these track transitions! You can hear the force and power in her vocals, which build up to the beat going up and down with force; it's what MAYHEM is about, and I'm here for it 13. Blade of Grass (9/10) This is a really touching and beautiful love song about how Gaga was proposed to with a blade of grass. It feels very much like Die With a Smile but without the high kicks for radio and instead focuses more on the element of the beauty and lyrics. It has very clear meaning and intent and feels ear-catching. 14. Die With A Smile (Ft. Bruno Mars) (8/10) This originally wasn't going to make the album, but it did, and I do think it deserved a place on this. It'll definitely help bring up the critics review and score of this and give it more long-term life in the charts. Smart move from Gaga. For the track, it's a beautiful song that can be played at weddings, funerals, or anywhere; it's truly something that can be interpreted in a million ways, which is what a special song does. Love this, and a pleasure to hear it! Great album outro! BEST—Perfect Celebrity WORST—LoveDr*g Overall score: 8.5/10

NEW MUSIC FRIDAY SUMMARY AND REVIEW 7.03.25 #22 Garden Of Eden—Lady Gaga (7.8/10) Now that the Gaga album is out, we are left with the promoted single 'Garden Of Eden,' which is a good choice to put at the start of the album. It's fun, it makes you want to dance, and just like 'Abracadabra,' it's a rollercoaster of a party, which I truly believe has the power to get picked up by radio or even take Gaga to number one, and we need a hit single with staying power because right now 2025 has just been songs recycled from 2024. I'll be looking forward to hearing the full album 'Mayhem,' and this song is making me look forward to it even more! Handlebars—JENNIE/Dua Lipa (5.5/10) This song doesn't bring out complete utter nonsense, but it sure is boring. I've now heard multiple songs that are main singles from JENNIE'S new album, and they all don't really deserve any hype. In fact, this song is the best one yet; without Dua's verse, the score would drop, though. The interesting noises in production were also one of the only reasons why I spared it with this score. After these performances from her and the lack of interest that sounds like it's going to be in the album, the only thing pulling me in is the wide range of features on the project, disappointing. Beautiful People—David Guetta/Sia (6.2/10) This isn't the first time we've seen Guetta and Sia on a song together; last time we did, it went UK No. 1 and was a memorable smash radio hit that's still played on radio today. Now, will Beautiful People live up to that? No, I'm confident it won't, just like most musical duos after releasing a smash hit together; their next songs don't live up to the original hit, just like with Calvin & Ellie's 'Free' or Kendrick and SZA's '30 For 30,' etc. Guetta gave a less action-packed production, and it felt like the song didn't have much of a memorable hook, unsurprising because Guetta just sucks nowadays. The song still spares along the lines of fun and gives something that sounds like a summer song. I won't bash it because it's not terrible; it is repetitive, though, because now I see what people mean when talking about Sia's lyrics; they are the same as before and don't present much to the song, unfortunately. Anxiety—Doechii (8/10) And now the famous segment we all know and love is in a song, and Doechii nailed this too! The rest of the song kept the same level of sound, which I really enjoyed, and her vocals were soft and smooth, which was relaxing despite what she was rapping about. In the end, Anxiety sounds like it could be going places; social media should really pick this up! Swing For The Fences—Elton John/Brandi Carlile (8.2/10) LOVE to see Elton back, and just like the first single from these two, the second one is a smash hit! We could be having album of the year from these too! My only complaint is that Elton was a little hard to hear and got less time, and that's sad because I would've loved to see him get more of a part. Aside from that, this had a lovely, fun, and light piano melody along with an absolutely delightful production that sounds like the previous single along with sounds that feel very in tune with giving you a memorable listen. Elton has still got the power!! The rock along with the easy, stylish listen makes it sound like something that could be heard in a movie scene with a funfair; love this so much! Future Tripping—Kelsea Ballerini (6.9/10) Well, it just scraped the mark of acceptable to replay; it's not as good and as thought out as some of the singles from Kelsea's previous works, but it's definitely an alright step in the next journey of her career; it's just not an exciting step. Sweet Dreams—J. Hope/Miguel (7/10) I thought this was going to be interesting, and I was right; it's giving something that would've fit on Mac Miller's 'Balloonerism' as a good track. Miguel is very much capable of making something memorable, but when I saw J. Hope, I was questioning how this would sound. It turns out Miguel ruled most of the production elements, which I thought was a very good choice, and J. Hope did a great vocal job. A pleasant surprise! Can You Please—GELO/Glorilla (5/10) Flipping heck. GELO won't his breakout song Tweaker die will he? The start of this song is an obvious near-exact copy of that song, and the whole song ends up feeling like a tweaker remix with even lyrics of tweaker copied, not to mention the continuously rap crap lyrics where there are hawk tuah references from Glorilla, as the whole song is just about sex and the usual gangster activities, as the lyric video features money pouring down the screen. So, why did I spare this a five? The beat may not have been impressive, but it's definitely punchy and hits hard; it does what it's trying to do and well. What I don't get is why every rapper just talks about the same damn thing; it's so dull. I'll be gone—SASAMI (7/10) Just a really easy pop song that sounds easy to navigate, not special but not bad either, quite a calm listen. Options—Cameron Whitcomb (6/10) Sounds like something that Noah Kahan would do a great cover for, and it would even be good to push this to the American country radios as well. It's emotional, has those classic guitars often seen in the genre, and has a voice that sounds devoted to the song. As much as this isn't great, it sure will be for many people. Enjoy Your Life—Tokimonsta/Oby Onyioha (6.3/10) It's just a fun song with character flowing through the whole thing; it's not so common either; I respect this. ILY - Kapo/Myke Towers (7.9/10) Tell me why I'm not trashing this. I was expecting this to be a bland disaster after knowing more of the previous works by these artists, and it wasn't a disaster at all. The song made me feel like I'm on a beach in a foreign country and just enjoying my surroundings. Another way to say that would be that this song is relaxing in the way it sounds. I don't get the lyrics, so hopefully that doesn't stray far from what I've said, but I am just going off sound. Do you think you could love me? - Yung Kai (3.9/10) I don't know if I could love you, but I definitely cannot love this song. The mood just feels so depressing, and that's not to do with how it's supposed to be; I'm saying that in a critical way. Kai's voice is so languorous. Classy Girl—Turbo/Gunna (4/10) Yeah, yeah, it's also all the good-looking girls and how they want to take them all over the world; the beat is so dead and reflects no improvement for Gunna; it equals lazy. Pop n Olive—Samara Cyn/Sherwyn (5/10) Didn't really understand this. I need a doctor—Youngboy Never Broke Again (0.2/10). Grow up and get help. No way you can still be pumping out this poop stain of a song; you sound utterly LAUGHABLE. The vocal performance was so garbage that I'm seriously angry at this. He literally screeched "ANOO GARTAAAREAGHVCGHB," whatever the hell that means, and there's still YouTube bots commenting "real ones stayed up for this." I would have stayed up to stop this from coming out; the production choices were such a joke that I'm in shock this is a serious artist. I'm not even going to make a serious analysis on this because it's a waste of my time. Run It Up—Hanumankind (7/10) Really energetic and straight to the point, but this time not heading for virality it sounds more real to what they want to put out rather than trying to make their way up the charts. Santiago - Richy Mitch And The Coal Miners (6.7/10) I'm pretty much pleased with this; my favourite part was the extra boost at the end, which gives it a needed final push to uplift the song's quality. The vocals also were fittingly aside the beat; it totally works. Happy Birthday—Black Country, New Road (4/10) I can't hear anything that the singer is saying. The making of the song has some really questionable choices. Due to how dull they are. Black Country, New Road need to sort this out because just like their last song, this is nothing special. This is not special, and people overrate this just like K-pop stans, but instead it's not K-pop. Anyways, that was just some quick fire opinions to give. Call me if you miss me—Max McNown (4.9/10). Weak all over, some of the flow feels like a Taylor Swift filler when she's just rambling on about something even if it doesn't match anything about the song. Max's vocals felt like they weren't hitting the notes the song needed and instead were just going along for the ride as if he's shy. Amigos? No. - Oscar Maydon/Neton Vega (5/10) As you can expect, it's their usual, which if you've been following my reviews, you will very much know that I dislike their usual due to it being the same things heard everywhere else. I can be asked to explain the same thing again; I'll care when they make something new. Edge of the world—MEDUZA/Innellea/GENESI/Nu-La (6.9/10) It has some really loud and clear beats on this to keep you energised; it's a fun dance/electronic track that's sure to keep you going, but to me, it's nothing beyond the realms of fun. BAD DECISIONS—Nemzzz (5/10) It's the exact same rap/drill that we've seen from him and from others for possibly a decade on end; it's repetitive, it's supposed to be hitting, but now it feels tiring, and Nemzzz has lost the spark. Satanised—Ghost (5/10) Is this satanic or nah? Google won't make it clear. I don't want to promote Satanism, so I can't say this was good, but I don't want to be biased either, so I'll just say the beat was good. Sex, Drugs & Existential Dread—Chloe Qisha (7.4/10) Very different from her usual, it feels like something that a lot of music critics would like due to its more alternative sound that submerges you straight into the mix. Chloe Qisha has been one I've been keeping an eye out for a while; she legit sounds like she could be the next breakthrough. There just needs to be a lot more backing behind these singles, and voila, then we've got something going. Oh, and one piece of criticism: please take out the line "the world is on fire, let's go get Taco Bell." That one line makes me have a lot more dislike for the song and did affect the score, especially when the viewers thought they were working with a hot, getting-in-the-mood atmosphere. Rich Junkies—Bay Swag/Kyle Ricch (5.2/10) Sounds like a partly experienced rapper off of BandLab. That's not a huge insult, unlike the other things I've said to these rappers. Take it or leave it. Nightlight—Livingstone (7/10) Very well put together song; it's what you would expect from Livingstone, but I still pretty much like it. It's a "let's make an average but good song" move rather than trying to level up his skill set. After all this, though, I don't really care for the whole album. It's a sweet indie song about waiting for someone; it sounds like something Alex Warren would make in case you're interested. If You Hadn't Been There—Dolly Parton (7.5/10) Dolly is still rocking it at her age! It has that beautifully natural sound where it's clean and avoids using any non-natural extras that kill the clean feel. I love how she's keeping it real; hopefully, there's more! Smoker—Jack Van Cleaf (9.3/10) What an absolutely heartbreaking and truthful song that captures the feelings and stories around how he's smoking, from how he never thought he would to openly admitting that it became a habit. The pitch change in the vocals, particularly on the 'Smoker' part, was something that really added to the track and gave it a more raw and honest aspect. We should never let people promote smoking, but sadly many do, and now today we have people hooked up to oxygen masks fighting for their lungs. Don't smoke, and if you do, try to stop. This song really highlights everything on point and the guitar with the beat that makes you constantly think in a trance; it's truly a song we need in this world. Back To Life—Wilkinson/Julia Church (6.2/10) Reminds me of Sonny Fedora and Clementine's song a few weeks back, very simple and just lacks anything to propel its popularity forward; it just equals some DJ with an ascending beat and female vocals. We could've gotten better, but it's still alright. WORTH SOMETHING—Icewear Vezzo/Big Sean/Skilla Baby (6.4/10) Uninspired? Yes. Was the beat still kind of tough despite being part of rap crap lyrics? Yes. For that, it gets a 6.4 for channelling my inner gangster. GFY - Julia Michaels (4/10) Reminds me of Caity Baser or Mae Stephen's common and cringe song style, in the lyrics and in the production; Meghan Trainor probably would have gotten on this song without any question. It's the classic heartbreak framed in a more clever word style that doesn't sound clever at all; in fact, this just sounds stupid. Girl I Never Met—Corey Kent (6.8/10) I approve of a country song, finally, a random country song that keeps the country base while actually having style rather than sadly slugging along. The rock guitars fit well with Corey, and the production value is quite good for this. Perdido—Gabito Ballesteros (3/10) Yeah, I can't psychically get through all of this; from most of my listening, I can tell it's Mexican/Spanish crap (basically the same thing the artists here always pump out—when I say _____ crap, that's what I mean, and in this case it's the same trumpets and style of production that you can't tell apart from any other song of the genre). Heaven On My Mind—Tobymac (7/10) Finally, some good Christian music! We need to take out the common stereotypes that tend to come with Christian music, and this song does exactly that with an uplifting pop sound and easy-to-listen vocals. If only it would trend. Abyss - Chloe Moriondo (6.9/10) Really basic pop sounds like something that modern-day Rebecca Black could get on, and I don't mean that in an insulting way; basic doesn't always mean bad. I got questions—Ken the man/Kaliii (4.9/10). Rap crap, moving on. Gone Girl—Neriah (5/10) Sadly, this is like her previous song 'Don't Let Go,' which I tried to get into but feels as plain as your mouth when you wake up at 3am. Why can't Neriah stray out of making songs that sound like pop fillers that are only slightly liked for the sake of having an upbeat hook that sounds like 'Cruel Summer'? Gone Fishing—Mackenzie Carpenter (8.2/10) US country rock with a true powerful edge to it, Mackenzie's vocals have a powerful force. She's my new favourite Carpenter, much better than Sabrina Carpenter at least. Sometimes—Tiago PZK/Teddy Swims (5.5/10) Ok, so Teddy Swims needs to stop rapping because he's not good at it; instead, stick to the things like in 'I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part One)' because this is a big downfall. Tiago gave a fairly okay opening; he did better than Teddy at least, just not by much. Teddy wants to step outside of playing it safe, but it's not working; the best I can do is applaud the effort. Another Day—Adrien Nunez (5.6/10) If Myles Smith was white, this is what his music would sound like. Flat and tasteless but somehow still manages to mean something in all its boringness. Only God Knows—Struggle Jennings/Jelly Roll (4.5/10) Do something different. Jelly Roll! Come on! This is the exact same rock he's been putting out for years with a message we've all heard, so repetitive, the same thing with the background, does nothing. Can we talk about Isaac? - Rachel Chinouri (5.1/10) Ok, I'm going to be honest, I've heard little from Rachel, but I don't get her huge appeal. The only thing I quite liked from her was when she did 'Even' with Cat Burns, but apart from that, it just sounds like there's nothing really to these songs; they're like unseasoned food, not really appealing. Rachel, try and jazz things up a bit, please. Straight Rhymez—Aitch (6/10) There's one problem here that makes me have a sour taste towards the whole song. Is it the beat? No, the beat is excellent and adds a funky side along with a clear character beat that sounds anything but boring. Is it the vocals? No, Aitch has great flow and can keep up easily and is great at doing that. Now, I'll tell you what it is: Aitch is chatting absolute rubbish as usual; you are NOT a top 5 rapper, and anyone who doesn't bring you up in a conversation about the top 5 rappers just has common sense! Don't let the pride get the best of you. Aitch, he then talks about how he never lies, despite what he says contradicting itself, as I explained when reviewing 'A Guy Called.' Aitch simply thinks he's the biggest and can brag about anything, and because he has a few great songs upon a mountain load of bad ones, he thinks he's entitled, and for that, the track gets me mad. There's a load of other lies there to which I'm not going to waste my time on. Without these bad lyrics, the song would be an 8.5 or so. KAROAKE - James Arthur (3.7/10) It appears James Arthur's run of making ok songs is over. The start sounded like it wasn't mixed to the best potential, the middle sounded like one of the most basic pop songs known to man, and the end sounded like I hired a Lewis Capaldi impersonator from Fiverr. Maria Magdalena—Sevdaliza/irmas de pau (2.5/10) Just unneeded filth that seems satanic, Sev's viral hit 'Alibi' was a lot better. Function—Big Zuu/Capo Lee/INFAMOUSIZAK (6/10) Biz Zuu carried; if the other artists lived up to his verse, then this would've been like an 8/10, but sadly, though, they didn't give their all at all, and it ended up just being entertaining because of Zuu. Take A Pic—Ashley Walters/Giggs (5/10) This was not as slick as they think it was; in fact, nothing here was worth listening to or talking about. What I do want to talk about is how Ashley Walters sounds like the name of a retired 95-year-old white grandma who spends her last days baking cookies; turns out it's a young, Black male who looks like they make gangsta music. Dude, get a name change right away. 😭🙏🏼 Lonely Love—Hybrid Minds/Ashley Singh (6.4/10) We can take this; it's not the worst. It just doesn't hit the point on whatever it's trying to give; the verses, background, and style all feel like they miss the mark and instead deliver average. PSILOCYBIN & DAISIES - Jessie Reyez (8/10) It reminds me of another song that I can't remember; the name is on the tip of my tongue. Anyways, this is too short. I would love a longer version because this song feels super refreshing, and there's some tone in the track's vocals and bass that just makes me fall in love with it. Cage El Paso - HUGEL/DERON/La Payara (3.8/10) Pretty forgettable, don't you think? Mandigo—Wu-Tang Clan (9/10) Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do a rap song. It's gritty and has those backing vocals that bring the before 2000s sound, although it still sounds like it's fit for modern day. I believe this could be part of the movie due to the credits and character scenes inside the song; if so, this must be a great movie because this is awesome! Not only that, but it has a wild and full, out-loud and clear sound that is bound to turn any frown upside down, with the screams and cuts fit into the perfect place. Gethsemane—Car Seat Headrest (5/10) I can't make it through this; I just can't sit through 11 minutes straight of an old progressive/indie rock with guitar and vocals, and for me not being able to listen to it, I can't like it. If it was shorter, this would have gotten more points from me, though; instead, this is just time-consuming. Skullcrusher—Yeule (4/10) Eugh, what is this two-minute mash-up of ear-splitting sounds? What is even going on here? Ripped apart by hands—Weatherday (6/10) Sounds pretty deep; if the production was a bit clearer, that would've been nice. Sounds like something Gigi Perez might make. NASTYWERKKK! - I legit can't say the artist's name because it could get autocorrected and then my content could get banned. (5.9/10) , , It started pleasant, but then the vocals were drowned in the high volume and meant nothing. Sad. I'm only giving it 5.9/10 because of the good beat. Thousand Yard Stare—Kmoe (7/10) Production was the key element that made me give the score I did; the fade-out to the vocal blend captures a real essence in the song that I love to see. Destiny Arrives—SPELLING (6.9/10) Nice addition to the album, powerful vocals on a really well-made soul-rock song. I still don't feel the need to hear the full album, though. High Horse—NMIXX (4/10) I don't care what the mega stans say; it's still boring girl group K-pop. I don't care if there were a few vocal changes and it's not an identical copy of others in the genre; it's still incredibly boring because not much is done here. Head Hunting—Key Nyata/Pouya/Denzel Curry/Shakewell/KXLLSWXTCH (8/10) I like the detail and care that sounds like it was put into this. I rarely like southern hip hop, especially ones overpacked with artists, but this was a switcheroo from the usual. The hook feels sharp and intense to keep you hooked with a continuous loop that holds up really well. Magic Clock - F5ve (4/10) It's the same K-pop girl group that somehow probably has diehard stans despite them making music like any other K-pop band that has no flavour to it at all. UK B*tches - Ovine Hall/Kurtains (3.8/10) Maybe if it wasn't hard to understand piled-up slop, then the beat could actually be used. + Sargasso + - Vildhjarta (8/10) I have no way to understand their words, so I'm just basing my rating off the sound, and the piano parts along the heavy rock were pieced well. I think Linkin Park would put a great addition to this song. The Strip—The Orchestra (For Now) (6/10) This has a really unexpected drop in depth, which needs to make you change the volume (which isn't the best). The rest of the song is well put together; it goes all out for the guitars and screams and puts on a good image for the act. Sadly, there's blasphemy, which makes me like it less, and due to that, I can't get into this. Bad Influence Freestyle—LUCKI (5.2/10) I have mixed views on this; some lyrics appear sharp and well phrased, while others feel paused to think for the freestyle, along with this not doing much anyway. It definitely doesn't need to be 5 minutes. Stardoll—Ninush (8.2/10) Seeing that I'm lying down at 10:30pm, it's very nice to get a soothing and easy listen; most likely the most relaxing thing I've heard in a while. The orchestral instruments coming in made me smile so hard because the gentle vocals with it just want to make you drift away in sleep, honestly beautiful, and I'm thankful to witness this. Tongues—Thornhill (6.9/10) It's really giving the 90s nu metal sound really well; reminds me of Deftones. Love You Anymore - Mario Judah (3/10) No offence here, but I'm not a fan of Mario's accent; his voice doesn't feel like something I can get into. This song was also just less than two minutes of confusion for me because I didn't get the end goal of the song; either way, nothing here impressed me. Blue Demon—The Voidz (8/10) The song is really catchy and sounds like something that the radio could pick up; the problem for me is that the immense autotune doesn't help with the song like they think it might. I think it's better using a more natural vocal choice. I'm getting into these synth-funk songs a lot more now, though. Hell Raiser (Freestyle) - Lil Uzi Vert (3.8/10) Why should I be surprised? Lil Uzi is putting out more demonic music as usual, but that's not even the main issue because what the hell is this beat? It's just random noises and sounds put onto his freestyle as if he never had a real producer. I mean, who would want to produce this anyway? His freestyle wasn't the sharpest. Selekta - Kyle Gordon/Albie Wobble/Trixie B/SIDEQUEST (4.7/10) At most this track will get a play on a Radio One show that nobody chooses to listen to by choice. Some of these verses were so bad that they escaped the studio. Pumpkin—c418 (8.2/10) I'm so glad that I discovered this guy! Really peaceful song; it's gentle and something you could fall asleep to, but at the same time, it's addictive to replay. No wonder why they got this guy to make the Minecraft songs; he's a pro. Crystal Roses—Spiritbox (6.9/10) I wish I could hear what they are saying, but apart from that, everything else is a check. Pondeggi - E Wata/Yaeji (3.2/10) The track is so long that it feels tiring, and whoever the second person on the song is sounds AWFUL; they are not cut out for music; they show no music talent whatsoever and completely ruined the song due to them being all over it. Double See Freestyle—Lil Uzi Vert (4.8/10) It's not as bad as his last freestyle, but in parts, Lil Uzi does sound like the majority of gang rappers who flood their vocals with autotune, resulting in them sounding like an alien species. At least he can rhyme. Damn Right—JENNIE/Childish Gambino/Kali Uchis (7.1/10) This is the first really good thing I've heard from the JENNIE album. Childish Gambino had the best part here; his part was executed correctly, and it provided the clean change in the song. Thankfully, that was followed by another clean vocal change by JENNIE. I think working rap into the album went away from playing it safe, which I'm pleased to see JENNIE do. Like JENNIE - JENNIE (8/10) And this comes as the second single. I really liked this from this album! Wow, I really think this should've been a main single! It's got an incredible dance routine as well. It has that constant pattern and fast ups and downs that make it like an action movie and keeps you hooked; Jennie's vocals are on point and fit in well with the constant pulse of the song. Give this a try!

My bad for forgetting to post last week's chart 😅 I had some trouble.

Wow, I only just started seeing some of these comments. 😅 Thank you for all the kind words! They mean a lot!

US HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 4.03.25 #23 TOP TEN: Kendrick Lamar is down five spots to 10 with 'Sqaubble Up,' which opens the gap for 'Lose Control' to jump three spots up to 9. Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' is becoming the next big song at 8. Billie Eilish is still in the top ten with 'Birds Of A Feather' at 7, which sits below 'APT.' at 6. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' has a surge from 9 to 5. Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance is still having effects on the chart with 'TV Off' at 4 and 'Not Like Us' at 3. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars continue their climb up the chart with 'Die With A Smile' up to 2, and taking the number one for its second consecutive week is 'Luther' by Kendrick Lamar and SZA. NEW ENTRIES: 99. Greenlight—Tate McRae (9/10) 90. Like I Do—Tate McRae (7/10) 89. Little Things—Ella Mai (6.4/10) I heard this a while back as part of Ella Mai's E.P. '3.' It's now four months later, and this has charted, and I'm not complaining. It reminds me of 'Heart Of A Woman' or something that reminds me of older style Beyoncé, with its 2000s R&B sound. I really like it; it's not special to me or marking anything new, but we haven't heard this in a while, and I'm very much open to hearing this sound more. 83. LV Bag—Don Toliver/J-Hope/Pharrell Williams/Speedy (3/10) The majority of people only seem to come to this song because a solo BTS member features on it (J-Hope), and when I saw this collaboration, I immediately knew that this was a one-way ride to failure; yes, it's rap crap. The only person's essence I detect in this is Don Toliver, who manages to spill his autotuned crap over the whole song and ruin it. I legit don't get how people can take him seriously; you can't even hear what he's saying in the song. 75. ExtraL - JENNIE/Doechii (4/10) Doechii is a great rapper but always fails miserably when it comes to a feature, and working with JENNIE is a recipe for disaster, especially with the past few singles showing disaster too. I don't necessarily know what's bad about this; it just doesn't do anything for me. It's not something I can easily connect to, and Doechii doesn't pack a flavour punch like she does on her solo songs. 74. Signs—Tate McRae (8/10) 69. Clouds—J. Cole (6/10) The first time I've rated something this high by J. Cole, which is good for him after he was making flop music for so long, this definitely feels more down-to-earth and something that Kendrick might make, although Lamar would add a crazy beat. 64. Bloodonmyhands—Tate McRae/Flo Milli (8/10) 58. Call me when you break up—Selena Gomez/Benny Blanco/Gracie Abrams (2.1/10). From the last single, this was so predictable; Selana and Gracie deliver a run-of-the-mill vocal performance with a really cheesy music video. And to top the disappointment, I found out in a month we will get a Selena and Benny album. I waited all this time for a Gomez project that could possibly be her last one, and then she delivers two singles that are poop and a massive dump on the music industry. The background is way too uninspired and is as basic as basic can be. You would've gotten more of a smile out of me if you had inserted a fart sound into the song. 54. Miss Possessive—Tate McRae (8.5/10) 53. Purple Lace Bra—Tate McRae (7.5/10) 44. Dear God—Tate McRae (8.2/10) 43. I Know Love—Tate McRae/The Kid Laroi (5.5/10) 22. Revolving Door—Tate McRae (6/10) Lots of love to Tate, but this is one of the weakest songs on her album. There were so many better choices she could've chosen as a main single, but she chose Revolving Door?! I don't get a world where this would make sense; this song sounds like a filler that would've fit on THINK LATER. I mean, it fits on this album too, but not that well. It has no catch to it at all, and the so-called chorus or hook has the exact same momentum as the start of the song. There's no build-up; it's just right in front of you, which is pretty boring if you ask me. Weak single. RE ENTRIES: 100. Weren't For The Wind—Ella Langley [It's ok.] 93.

US HOT 100 REVIEW 11.02.25 #20 TOP TEN: Kendrick and Left Gunplay's 'TV Off' returns to the top ten, and so does Benson Boone with 'Beautiful Things' at 9. 'Lose Control' sees Teddy hit 8 as The Weeknd's new album has 'Timeless' go up from 18 to 7. At 6, ROSÉ and Bruno's 'APT.' declines as Shaboozey is just above them at 5. 'Birds Of A Feather' is up to 4 for Billie Eilish, and 'Luther' also climbs to 3. Morgan Wallen's new entry, 'I'm The Problem,' just misses the top spot at 2, and Lady Gaga (with Bruno Mars) manages to repeat at 1 for their 5th week with 'Die With A Smile.' NEW ENTRY: 96. Love Hangover—JENNIE/Dominic Fike (3.5/10) This sounded like a tragic mess. I don't even know what to make of this. I would recommend giving this song to Disney so they can throw it in a cheap movie because this is trash. 92. Nissan Altima—Doechii (8/10) It's really giving the assertive, dominant attitude that we love from Doechii. Not only does this have the ability to go trending, but it's also a unique rap that you only tend to hear from Doechii. Keep it up! 84. 7 Dias - Gabito Ballesteros/Tito Double P (4.5/10) The emotion in this wasn't conveyed well enough to really get across the heartbreak, and they used the same layout, copy, and pasted that all the other Spanish songs use, with the trumpets. '7 Dias' shows no step to further boost any of the artists and doesn't remain memorable in my books. 82. I Can't Wait To Get There—The Weeknd (6/10) It starts off nice, simple, and slow before moving into more juicier R&B chords. It's alright and a decent song that fits well; it just feels like The Weeknd could've given more energy to the song. 74. Opening Night (3/10) So many random noises that feel misplaced and just there for no reason; what even is this? 71. Gven Up On Me (7.3/10) Now this is better! The synths heightened energy with claps that blend into a whirlwind of a flavourful production. This is more than experimental; this is genius. It also caught the emotional aspects of the music well too! 69. Take Me Back to LA (6.5/10) This gave late-night driving and felt like the pop elements flowed through more; I just wish the start was more consistent instead of the unsteady verses. 68. The Abyss Ft. Lana Del Rey (6.5/10) It felt like a completion to a long story, and Lana's vocals were elegant and holded fabulously! 🎀☺️ 65. Niagara Falls (5.5/10) It's nothing special from the rest I've seen. I don't know if it's just me, but this is kind of boring. It has effort, and I can see the clean production changes, but it just doesn't click for me. 60. Enjoy The Show (4/10) The lyrics to this were crazy; The Weeknd claimed he isn't going to make it past 34, which, if true, means he's going to die within the next twelve days. He also speaks about overdosing and more. To the vocals, Future was a terrible choice; he sounded like Rod Wave on 'Last Lap,' and the whole song just felt sluggish and slow. I wanted it to end; it doesn't capture any moment apart from the sad thought of depression. 53. Reflections Laughing Ft. Florence + the Machine and Travis Scott (3/10) These three do not go well together or have any chemistry; there was nothing to take from this, and every artist here is not giving their full. I don't even get why having Scott's autotuned plop of a verse was put on this. 48. Open Hearts (8/10) This went down perfectly with the music video; it felt like an easy pop record to get a smash Billboard hit, but I respect The Weeknd's choice to take bolder moves with experimental music to give a new atmosphere. This was a great track and gave a nostalgic feel despite there being nothing nostalgic in the track. 46. Baptised In Fear (6.5/10) The synthesiser did a great job! The beat was simple but a good follow-up; shame it didn't live up to a bigger extent; it felt like it needed more to it. 45. Wake Me Up Ft. Justice (9/10) Amazing album intro; it captured The Weeknd's character really well and marked a legendary start to 'Hurry Up Tomorrow.' The merge into a 'Thriller'-like beat is super clean and smooth but felt similar to the original 'Thriller,' and if it was sampled, then samples are kind of lazy, which stops it from deserving a 10. But still, the whole song felt flawless in its production and gave a booming opening to what I hope is an amazing album! 29. Abracadabra—Lady Gaga (8/10) Seeing Gaga's upcoming album has songs called 'Garden Of Eden' and 'The Beast,' and seeing the song references the devil in a more darker setting, I wouldn't be surprised if she was going to pull another 'Judas' moment. But you know I'm not biased and only rate off the actual song, so it's actually very catchy and grew a lot from the first listen. It's a pump of electronic energy that reminds me of Gaga's older era of dance music and brings back her style in a jam-packed party bop that concerns finding the magic through the challenges. It's a pleasing song and sets a high standard for the rest of 'MAYHEM.' 12. Cry For Me (7/10) Previous listen: Every single release pushed on "Hurry Up Tomorrow" feels so different from the last that I have no idea how The Weeknd's going to pull this album off. In the short term, this was an enjoyable song; it felt dark and gave a pop-R&B entrance, which was appealing and felt intriguing to the upcoming songs, although this wasn't the best thing I've heard and felt it could've done with a catchier hook. It definitely wasn't a disappointment for my expectations. Added: Listening to this with track one really built a moment much more and made me like this track more. 2. I'm The Problem—Morgan Wallen (6/10) Classic Morgan, he makes a hit, then a flop, and repeats the process. This is good, but it's not good enough for hit status. It follows the classic guitar-bar song with Morgan's reflective lyrics. I just wish this had more of a catch that begs for a replay. I'm not asking for a radio hit, just something that has a new feeling. RE ENTRIES: 100. Worst Way—Riley Green [it's OK... 5.5 on my second listen.] 43. Sao Paulo—The Weeknd/Anitta [Very bad] 41.

HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 4.02.25 #19 THE TOP TEN: Morgan stays put at 10 with 'Love Somebody,' and Gracie falls a spot to 9 with 'That's So True.' Bad Bunny's 'DTMF' has a huge slide from 2 to 8, while 'Birds Of A Feather' has a small slip to 7. Jumping up to 6 is 'Lose Control' by Teddy Swims, while Shaboozey is right above him at 5 with 'A Bar Song (Tipsy).' Kendrick And SZA's collab keeps climbing at 4, 'APT.' spends its 15th charting week at 3 as Bruno Mars is also at 2 with 'Die With A Smile,' and taking the number one as a new entry, bagging his 5th number one single is Travis Scott's '4×4.' NEW ENTRIES: 100. Mutt - Leon Thomas (6/10) It reminds me of Tommy Richman, but without the voice changer or horrid vocals. This had the R&B essence and just had something really real about it. It's also the first time I've heard of Leon, so hopefully this is a good start for his career. It doesn't sound like a radio hit, so I expect it to not get too far, though. 97. Me Jalo - Fuerza Regida/Groupon Frontera (5/10) You really thought you could get away with putting in the same old Spanish trumpets and just the classic sound that every Billboard Hot 100 Spanish/Mexican song has! This sounds like anything else you'd ever hear! I guarantee there's no need to explain this track; if you've heard one of those types of tracks, then you've heard this, Bland and *ss. 85. Weren't For The Wind—Ella Langley (5.5/10) Your average country song, it'll fit finely on American country radio. This joined Langley's 2024 album and took months to finally gain traction, but here it is. Using classic country instrumentals, it delivers a natural and down-to-earth song. The problem to me is that this does nothing to steer itself away from being another bland country song, and that's something that Ella can't steer away from at all, really. 79. Backseat Driver—Kane Brown (6/10) Kane’s voice sounds completely manufactured in these country songs. You can tell because he didn’t sound like this on Miles on It, right? Exactly. I get adjusting your tone to fit a song’s style, but this feels like an act. The song itself is solid and doesn’t rely too much on country clichés, which is a relief, but it really doesn’t deserve to blow up. 73. Blue Jean Baby—Zach Bryan (7.5/10) The first thing from Zach that I can actually say is really good; everything felt so natural, and for once Zach doesn't bore us with a song as bland as a marshmallow, true American country here, and I'm ready to let those guitar and drums with the bar-like sound go crazy! 58. Haunted—Kane Brown/Jelly Roll (7/10) It's a rare sighting for me to rate these two artists this high, but this is an exception. The vocals were a powerhouse, and so were the lyrical values, covering depression and suicide. Amazing song from the two, and I hope to see more like this! 21. Sports Car—Tate McRae (9/10) Tate McRae was mad not to make this the main single!! OH MY WORD, I AM IN SHOCK!! THIS IS EXCELLENT! The mysterious yet intense quality of the song was just layered perfectly, and Tate's vocal performance was out of this world! We haven't seen anything like this from McRae, and 'Sports Car' is a huge win! 17. Fat Juicy & Wet—Sexy Red/Bruno Mars (4/10) This is the weirdest collab I've ever seen in my life, and I'm left speechless by it. I did not expect to see Bruno talking about how he likes his women. Fat, juicy, and wet—what even is this?! I'm convinced that this has ruined Bruno's song collection; this really sounds like rap crap, though, and anyone who says it's good is most likely glazing it for having Bruno on it. I'll be shocked if this has long-term charting potential. And also EWWWWW, THE LYRICS ARE GROSS!! I can't believe Bruno reached out to do this 😭. If this really is on his next album, then it'll ruin it; it's like they tried to recreate 'WAP' with the harder trap kick in there to fire up the song and the claps between the vocals. I can also hear a hint of old-school production with short segments having a 2000s-like melody playing. 1. 4×4—Travis Scott (4/10) Previous listen: Below standard, just like every other Travis song I've heard. Added: Yeah, rap crap again on my second listen. I can't believe someone rocks out to a guy who does autotuned moans at his concert; there's really nothing more to say about this. This is going to take a huge number one fall next week. RE ENTRIES: 93. Holy Smokes—Bailey Zimmerman [This back again??] 40.

Hurry Up Tomorrow—The Weeknd—Mellow Album Review OVERVIEW: As you can most likely tell when you read on, the more I listened, the more dragged on and bored I felt. That may be because of my brain, or it may not, but that's how it felt. It's one of those albums where one song is great and the next is mid, and there are a few terrible ones. This truly was a roller coaster of ups and downs; overall, it was an interesting listen. You can tell he went for less of a mainstream pop feel and tried to make a genuine record for himself. I highly respect that! And thankfully this was better than the main singles released, so even if you didn't like 'Timeless' or 'Sao Paolo,' there could easily be something here for you! I would've liked more organisation and, in some parts, more entertaining production, but I'll still rate this as a decent album! So cheers to the end of The Weeknd's trilogy and welcome Abel Tesfaye! ✌️ TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW: 1. Wake Me Up Ft. Justice (9/10) Amazing album intro; it captured The Weeknd's character really well and marked a legendary start to 'Hurry Up Tomorrow.' The merge into a 'Thriller'-like beat is super clean and smooth but felt similar to the original 'Thriller,' and if it was sampled, then samples are kind of lazy, which stops it from deserving a 10. But still, the whole song felt flawless in its production and gave a booming opening to what I hope is an amazing album! 2. Cry For Me (7/10) [uPGRADED SCORE +1] Previous listen: Every single release pushed on "Hurry Up Tomorrow" feels so different from the last that I have no idea how The Weeknd's going to pull this album off. In the short term, this was an enjoyable song; it felt dark and gave a pop-R&B entrance, which was appealing and felt intriguing to the upcoming songs, although this wasn't the best thing I've heard and felt it could've done with a catchier hook. It definitely wasn't a disappointment for my expectations. Added: Listening to this with track one really built a moment much more and made me like this track more. 3. I can't f****** sing (4/10) This is a short snippet of the time Abel lost his voice at a concert as he says that he can't sing. I don't get why you would want to include this in the album. 4. Sao Paulo Ft. Anitta (2/10) First of all, I have a strong dislike for whoever made this music video. It started with a woman (Anitta, I presume) walking down the street with a mask on her, which had a connected curly tube to it (I'm describing music, ok? Not props) and then she pukes up on the street (I have a fear of puke and even seeing it, so no trigger jumpscares me), and then a baby bump appeared on the woman, and she fell/went into a fountain where she showcased the baby bump, and then the baby bump grew a mouth, and The Weeknd started speaking out of it. In the next scene, the woman was then licking a car whilst twerking, and the camera zoomed into the mouth multiple times (for some reason it had crust all around its mouth), and then the video ended with the most horrible transition into a baby bump and the mouth. This song was supposed to be scary for Halloween and even teased as a horror music video multiple times, but it was scary as a Tesco manager. The sad thing is The Weeknd sounds like he actually tried to make this scary. This marks the first collaboration between the two artists on a Brazilian funk song, which hopefully doesn't make the album cut as it doesn't fit the first two singles style. In fact, nothing is slotting here, and the lyrics are all about "doing it" rather than giving a spooky mood. 5. Until We're Skin And Bones (9/10) Amazing 23-second segment; it sounds as majestic as the 21st Century Fox intro; it sounds like the start of an intergalactic space movie and puts you in such a mood! 6. Baptised In Fear (6.5/10) The synthesiser did a great job! The beat was simple but a good follow-up; shame it didn't live up to a bigger extent; it felt like it needed more to it. 7. Open Hearts (8/10) This went down perfectly with the music video; it felt like an easy pop record to get a smash Billboard hit, but I respect The Weeknd's choice to take bolder moves with experimental music to give a new atmosphere. This was a great track and gave a nostalgic feel despite there being nothing nostalgic in the track. 8. Opening Night (3/10) So many random noises that feel misplaced and just there for no reason; what even is this? 9. Reflections Laughing Ft. Florence + the Machine and Travis Scott (3/10) These three do not go well together or have any chemistry; there was nothing to take from this, and every artist here is not giving their full. I don't even get why having Scott's autotuned plop of a verse was put on this. 10. Enjoy The Show (4/10) The lyrics to this were crazy; The Weeknd claimed he isn't going to make it past 34, which, if true, means he's going to die within the next twelve days. He also speaks about overdosing and more. To the vocals, Future was a terrible choice; he sounded like Rod Wave on 'Last Lap,' and the whole song just felt sluggish and slow. I wanted it to end; it doesn't capture any moment apart from the sad thought of depression. 11. Given Up On Me (7.3/10) Now this is better! The synths heightened energy with claps that blend into a whirlwind of a flavourful production. This is more than experimental; this is genius. It also caught the emotional aspects of the music well too! 12. I can't wait to get there (6/10). It starts off nice, simple, and slow before moving into more juicier R&B chords. It's alright and a decent song that fits well; it just feels like The Weeknd could've given more energy to the song. 13. Timeless Ft. Playboi Carti (3/10) This feels so weak for a main single; the production doesn't carry, and the song fails miserably. If I had to compliment this, then I guess the two artists match each other, but still, it's not solid and most definitely overhyped. 14. Niagara Falls (5.5/10) It's nothing special from the rest I've seen. I don't know if it's just me, but this is kind of boring. It has effort, and I can see the clean production changes, but it just doesn't click for me. 15. Take Me Back to LA (6.5/10) This gave late-night driving and felt like the pop elements flowed through more; I just wish the start was more consistent instead of the unsteady verses. 16. Big Sleep Ft. Giorgio Moroder (8/10) Not only was every choice chosen on this song interesting and gave a whole new sound, but it's also really catchy from the first listen, the electronics mixed with the oomph given by the song; I love it! 17. Give Me Mercy (7.5/10) I like how some of the layers felt like a song that was supposed to be traditional, like someone making a very natural instrumental style; this sounds like a good backbeat for Christian praise music. 18. Drive (7.3/10) So calm, the beat was a nice landing for the Weeknd, and it just has a special place in my heart. 19. The Abyss Ft. Lana del rey (6.5/10) It felt like a completion to a long story, and Lana's vocals were elegant and holded fabulously! 🎀☺️ 20. Red Terror (4.5/10) Pretty creepy music video 😳. It doesn't get me in the trance state it wants me to, and by now the album is feeling tiring and too long. Not impressed. 21. Without A Warning (5.5/10) The dark, mysterious feel was my favourite part; still not really bussin though; you need to hit the spot better, Mr. Tesfaye. 22. Hurry Up Tomorrow (7/10) So down-to-earth and refreshing… I adore this beautiful ending; it's light and touching. BEST—Wake Me Up Ft. Justice WORST—Sao Paolo Ft. Anitta Score: 6.3/10

US HOT 100 SUMMARY & REVIEW 24.12.24 #13 THE TOP 10: 'Underneath The Tree' goes underneath the crowd to 10! Someone 'Santa Tell Me' how the song's up to 9! At 8, Dean Martin says 'Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow,' and at 7, Andy Williams is up 4 with 'The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.' 'Die With A Smile' is the only non-Christmas top ten song at 6, and Burl Ives' 'Holly Jolly Christmas' sticks at 5! 'Jingle Bell Rock' jingles down to 4 as 'Last Christmas' celebrates possibly its last week at 3. At 2, Brenda continues 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree,' and finally, grabbing the US number one for her 17th week—becoming her longest-running number one—is 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey.

Mellope's favourite Christmas songs! It's that time of the year folks! Get wrapped up in a blanket, play the tunes, eat the mince pies and be in company :) so I thought what I Wonderful Time (In Christmas spirit ofcourse) to share some of my favourite Christmas tracks! Starting with my favourite Christmas song ever... Rockin Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee Release year: 1958 US peak: 1 UK peak: 4 Released back In 1958 and hitting US number one for the first time in 2023 thanks to the new music video 'Rockin Around The Christmas Tree' is the most remembered out of Brenda Lee's list of multiple number ones, Lee recorded the rockabilly song at only 13 years old! It started building up sales 2 years later at 1960. Why is this the best Christmas track? It has a groove that can make any generation dance and is a timeless classic! It's festive, fun and its old jam makes it a universal hit single! Love it! One song that equally deserves a replay is... You're Christmas To Me - Sam Ryder Release date: 2023 US Peak: Didn't Chart UK peak: 2 Released as a amazon exclusive in 2023 before being added to Spotify in 2024 after featuring in the Christmas movie 'Your Christmas Or Mine 2' the song became Sam's joint highest peaking song in the UK with his Previous Eurovision smash hit 'Spaceman' (Released in 2022) 'You're Christmas To Me' is also Ryder's second Christmas song after 'Jingle Bells' Why it deserves a spot on the list? It's feel good feeling shines like any other and after Sam got robbed from winning eurovision he deserves another shot to hit number 1- which he failed again :( (He's rumoured to take part in eurovision 2024 so possibly a third shot) anyway, back to the point! It's fast paced and correctly paced rhythm is what makes the song something bound to go viral and it was a clear option for a hit! One which should be bigger is.... Snowman - Sia Release date: 2017 US peak: Didn't Chart UK peak: 27 Released as part of Sia's Christmas album 'Everyday Is Christmas' 'Snowman' first charted in 2020 (Three years after released) it ended up proving as a Christmas staple charting in the UK at 2021,22,23 and 2024 and due to its swift climb up this year it's already looking to reach a new peak! Why does I deserve a spot on the list? It has uniqueness and also showcases Sia's talent really well with how long she can hold her voice! It's also something that really sets the mood for a great Christmas! Underneath The Tree - Kelly Clarkson Release date: 2013 US peak: 11 UK peak: 12 Showing up as a Christmas classic, and still being relevant over a decade later 'Underneath the Tree' was the first of many other Christmas songs to Chart for Kelly. The song repeaked in the UK at the week of 6th-13th of December 2024 and could climb to a new peak! It deserves a spot because it has to be the most upbeat Christmas song that gives an unforgettable feel good feeling! All in Christmas spirit! One More Sleep - Leona Lewis Release date: 2013 US peak: didn't chart UK peak: 3 With 47 weeks in the UK charts the X-Factor singer launched herself yet another hit single, this one is timeless. It's festive feel reminds me of 'Underneath The Tree' with it's upbeat pop energy and a very catchy hook. Christmas Drillings - The Sidemen Release date: 2022 US peak: didn't chart UK peak: 3 The second charting Christmas song in the UK 'Christmas Drillings' is a meme-rap song, as much as this is a meme and more of a anti Christmas song it's still funny and very catchy! I'm surprised it hasn't charted again. Sausage Rolls For Everyone - Ladbaby/Elton John/Ed Sheeran Release date: 2021 US peak: 5 UK peak: 1 Hitting Christmas number one 'Sausage Rolls For Everyone' continues Ladbaby's yearlu charity Christmas song, it became Lad's 4th number one single. It has the essence of all three artists packed into one fun Christmas song that all ages can enjoy! I think this is amazing! Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin Stevens Release date: 1985 US peak: didn't chart UK peak: 1 Officially spending 100 weeks in the UK charts 'Merry Christmas Everyone' became Stevens fourth chart topper and still serves as a radio favourite for Christmas today! Its pop-rock creative sound really worked well for Steven's career and continues to boost his relevancy in music for now and for possibly decades to come! Merry Christmas - Elton John/Ed Sheeran Release date: 2021 US peak: 42 UK peak: 1 A second entry both by Elton and Ed, released through Asylum and Atlantic records. 'Merry Christmas' funnily enough got knocked off number one by a parody song of it called 'Sausage Rolls For Everyone' by Ladbaby after spending two weeks at number one. For me it has a twinkle of hope in the song and really has that Christmas spirit which I love! It's a great accompany to have the two on a song and it showcases them well! As proved because it charts back top 10 every year.

I know, I posted this week's chart summary :)

US HOT 100 3.11.24 SUMMARY & REVIEW #10 THE TOP 10: 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is the highest Christmas entry, up 6 spots to 10! Kendrick Lamar is new at 9 ('Man At The Garden') and 8 ('Reincarnated'). 'Die With A Smile' is down 5 spots to 7 for Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' falls off number one, down to 6. Kendrick and Dody6's 'Hey Now' is new at 5. 'Wacced Out Murals' sees Kendrick see at 4. Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' enters at 3. Kendrick Lamar and Lefty Gunplay's 'TV Off' debuts at two, and entering straight in at number one from his new album 'GNX' is 'Sqaubble Up' by Kendrick Lamar, bagging his third US number one of 2024 and third week atop the chart in 2024, as he has 7 out of the top 10 songs belonging to him! NEW ENTRIES: 98 - Gang Baby - NLE Choppa (3/10) This might be the most sexual song I've ever heard in my life. The lyrics cannot go one line without mentioning something to do with sex. 'Gang Baby' is track 1 from his album 'SL*T SZN' (I'm dead serious... that's the album name). This has a trap beat along with rushed rapping that feels like it could have had better cuts; this is sloppy, and the hook doesn't hook me in... it feels weak. I thought Christmas music was going to block this rubbish from charting, but I guess not. I'm also not trying to get a permanent ban from some of the websites I'm on, so I won't go into the tracks deep dive. 95 - Ma Meilleure ennemie - Stromae/Pomme (7/10) Previous first listen: Even though I don't speak the song's language, I can still tell that it's a passionate song, and I would even call it special; it fits an emotional scene perfectly and has that deepness and passionate side to it that Stromae and Pomme bring out really well! Featuring in 'Arcane League of Legends,' this proves to have some real solid base! 94 - I'm Not That Girl - Cynthia Erivo (7/10) 93 - The Wizard And I - Cynthia Erivo/Michelle Yeoh (6/10) 90 - Dancing Through Life - Jonathan Bailey/Ariana Grande/Ethan Slater/Marissa Brode/Cynthia Erivo (6.5/10) 86 - No One Mourns The Wicked - Ariane Grande/Andy Nyman/Courtney-Mae Briggs/Jeff Goldblum/Sharon D. Clarke/Jenna Boyd (5.5/10) 85 - Hello Miss Johnson - Jack Harlow (5.5/10) Previous first listen: Jack often brings something new to the table that interests me; this is new but certainly not a bop. 'Hello, Miss Johnson' is a flirty song where Jack flirts with Miss Johnson's daughter alongside a medium-paced pitch that aligns with the rest of the song. Added: I upgraded my score by 0.5. Also, I really like the music video to this! 68 - What Is This Feeling? - Ariana Grande/Cynthia Erivo (5/10) 53 - Popular - Ariana Grande (6/10) Previous first listen: 'Popular' followed the same back-and-forth style musical songs do as this featured in the movie 'Wicked.' Cynthia Erivo also gave vocals on this. The song features a wide range of instrumentals and uses them at the correct time, which is impressive seeing how much the vocalists changed their voice. As much as this wasn't bad, I really cannot get into musical songs with acting. The piano and the light-to-strong vocal holds were a good part of the song, though, and the flow sounded correct. 44 - Defying Gravity - Cynthia Erivo/Ariana Grande (6/10) Previous first listen: Ending up as 7 minutes long, 'Defying Gravity' is also on Wicked the movie; it has a mass range of instrumentals and a whole orchestra behind the scenes! It mixes into the scene and sounds like it's blended well... it's just not my kind of thing. 27 - Gloria - Kendrick Lamar/SZA (6/10) Previous first listen: With an alternative R&B kick, SZA's 'Gloria' delves into love and also marks SZA and Kendrick's 6th collaboration together. This ends the album on a slower-moving song that hits the right notes and gives the right laid-back feel to end the album on. It didn't go above and beyond for me, but it definitely was clear and a good move to put here. 24 - GNX - Kendrick Lamar/Hitta J3/YoungThreat/Peysoh (7/10) Previous first listen: Continuing his bold, fearless style, this track brings out the drums with quality soul-rap and showcases this album's style extremely well, once again another song that certainly didn't miss. 14 - heart pt. 6 (7/10) Previous first listen: Continuing his 'The Heart' series, Kendrick mixes his more conversational delivery with emotional rap, which works as a fitting side to the album. The series showcases Lamar's views on life at the moment, a strong song that says a lot. 13 - Peekaboo - Kendrick Lamar/AzChike (7/10) Previous first listen: Bringing in some of that style that sounds a bit like 'Squabble Up,' Kendrick creates a hardcore song that combines Gangsta Funk to create something that has a real flow and creativity to it with a hook that gets stuck in your head within a single listen. 'Peekaboo' doesn't disappoint. 11 - Dodger Blue - Kendrick Lamar/Wallie The Sensei/Siete7x/Roddy Ricch (6/10) Previous first listen: With vocals from Roddy Ricch and other rappers, 'Dodger Blue' continues the sharp lyrics with the 'GNX' album style. The features were well chosen, and this song works well. 9 - Man At The Garden - Kendrick Lamar (7/10) Previous first listen: This poses as a song that makes you think and has meaning to it while fitting into the album structure; it's speaking out and taking leaps and risks to get you to the place you are, which is what Kendrick is doing today still. I admire this, and it makes the listeners think and really builds a new thought that 'Man At The Garden' shows. 8 - Reincarnated - Kendrick Lamar (6.5/10) Previous first listen: Sampling 'Made N*****' by 2Pac delves deeper into meaningful rap music; it starts with a Spanish poem to start the song and moves into a gritty main rap with plucks of a guitar in the background that sound unique and centre it out from other rap songs, with Kendrick continuing his wide range of sounds in his songs. It's safe to say the production level is continuing its peak with the raw, infused voice that is Kendrick Lamar. 5 - Hey Now - Kendrick Lamar/Dody6 (7/10) Previous first listen: With production from 'Not Like Us' producer Mustard, 'Hey Now,' this is very experimental and provides a sound that can't easily be replicated or unheard of. This features vocals from LA rapper Dody 6, who gives a clean, fresh sound at the end of the track that doesn't merge the energies wrongly but instead fits aside Kendrick and runs the rest of the track smoothly. 4 - Wacced Out Murals - Kendrick Lamar (7/10) Starting off with a rough, powerhouse of a song that immediately grabs attention and spreads Kendrick's harsh essence across the track, the track talks about legacy and speaks volumes, which I admire, and the production was bold and made it a great atmosphere to start off 'GNX.' What a wish for better! Is instead of just using the boom-bap beat on the west coast rap, it had more flavour instead of just sharpness. 3. Luther - Kendrick Lamar (6/10) Previous first listen: 'Luther' is a conscious hip-hop/soul song with additional vocals and writing from R&B star SZA. The song follows the traditional boom-bap routes while having a nice landing for both Kendrick and SZA's vocals with strings and a structure that builds the song. The main problem for me is that the song doesn't do too much, though, and just follows a rhythm that doesn't sound like it has enough flavour, especially to be a main track. Nice try, endrick, but you can do better. 2. TV Off - Kendrick Lamar/Lefty Gunplay (6/10) Previous first listen: With its high, well-produced beat by Mustard, Kendrick continues his high, intense energy, as this shows that there's more to come. This is a good track but not an album highlight for me. 1. Squabble Up - Kendrick Lamar (9/10) Previous first listen: WOW!! 'Sqaubble Up' uses the same snippet that started the 'Not Like Us' music video to start this song, and this is an all-round flavour punch that infuses character, something new, and a bit of everything to make this a mega catchy song. It has an old-school swing to it that adds to its catchiness while not making this a radio song but still making this extremely universal to listen to and setting new boundaries in rap music. This is a great follow-up to 'Wacced Out Murals' and really shows a strong point, not just in Kendrick but possibly in this decade of rap. I 100% expect to see this in my most streamed. REENTRIES: 48 - The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) - Nat "King" Cole [This is alright.] 46 - Underneath The Tree - Kelly Clarkson [Love This!] 43 - Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande [Also a great song!] 42 - Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes [This is good.] 41 - Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano [Anyone who plays this gets kicked out of my house.] 39 - Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow - Dean Martin [This is alright.] 19 - Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms [Meh] NOTEWORTHY CHANGES: Songs that fell over ten spots: 99.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year - Andy Williams (Up 12) 33. Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives (Up 15) [HIGHEST CLIMBER] BEST AND WORST: NEW ENTRIES: BEST - 'Squabble Up' - Kendrick Lamar 2nd - The rest of 'GNX' - Kendrick Lamar 3rd - The whole of the Wicked soundtrack - Ariane/Cynthia and the rest of the cast 4th - Hello Miss Johnson - Jack Harlow WORST - Gang Baby - Nle Choppa THE WHOLE TOP 100: BEST - 'The Door' - Teddy Swims WORST - 'No One Noticed' - The Marias NEXT WEEK PREDICTIONS: This week was very short on new releases from names who could actually chart. We've got Ed Sheeran, though, with his new Christmas song 'Under The Tree,' and I suspect one by Juice WRLD will get in there too from his new album 'The Party Never Ends.' Apart from that, we could see Polo G, J.Cole, Glorilla, or Kodak Black possibly make a new entry if they're l

US HOT 100 17.12.24 SUMMARY AND REVIEW #12 THE TOP 10: 'Sqaubble Up' is down to 10; at 9, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' continues dropping. 'TV Off' at 8 and 'Luther' at 7 sees more falls for Kendrick. 'Die With A Smile' is the highest non-Christmas entry and bounces up to 6. Burl Ives 'Holly Jolly Christmas' leaps to 5, and 'Last Christmas' falls a spot for Wham. Heading into top 3 territory, Jingle Bell Rock' is up two spots to 3, and 'Rockin Around The Christmas Tree' has Brenda Lee at 2 for another week! And getting there in the 16th week atop the charts and spending their 69th charting week at 1 is 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey! NEW ENTRIES: 98 - Indigo - Sam Barb/Every Anna (4/10) Serving as a track of Sam's album 'Restless Mind,' the country song has a guitar beat and pace filled with drum pounds; sadly, it's not that much of a hit for me and really fails to market its own sound that propels it; it's just quite boring and feels like it lacks in a lot of ways. 93 - White Christmas - V/Bing Crosby (5/10) BTS member V collabs with the late Bing Crosby on a remix of the classic 'White Christmas.' It keeps the original version well while adding someone different to it and something new; it fits well but doesn't really serve as a Christmas staple. 90 - Toxic Till The End - ROSÉ (5/10) Previous first listen: She's following the same basic pop routes of 2024, and this is no different from the other tasteless songs she's been putting out this year. I admit this has emotion to it, but it feels like Taylor Swift from Temu or something that's been done over and over again already... There's no way this is becoming a hit single, and if this was pushed as a single from her new album, I wonder just how bad the other singles will be! Second listen: This is still Taylor Swift from Temu. 87 - Rosones - Tito Double P (4.5/10) Posing as a Mexican party song that really doesn't match the lyrics with the energy, it not only disappoints but feels jumbled up and weird; putting the crazy lyrics with the traditional Mexican trumpets and crunchy vocals equals this, and I feel it really could do better with some spice to the song. 66 - El Club - Bad Bunny (5/10) Previous first listen: This is a song about Bad Bunny simping over his ex with an electronic groove and quick edits in the music video; this is unique, which is something I like, but it fails to get stuck in my head and be something I love. It's alright. Added: The Spanish-speaking singer still doesn't show the single in greatness, and I believe something bigger could've been done with this; rather, it ended up like this. REENTRIES: 99 - Jingle Bells - Meghan Trainor [This is so bad that it charting must be a sign of the end times.] 91 - Burning Down - Alex Warren [still good] 89 - Khe? - Rauw Alejandro/Romeo Santos [it's alright.] 85 - Good News - Shaboozey [it deserves a spot here!] 48 - Christmas Time Is Here - Vince Guaraldi Trio [i could've done without this charting... in fact, I would've preferred that.] 47 - Happy Holiday/The Holiday Season - Andy Williams I like it. 46 - Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney [Decent] 45 - Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys [still awful] 44 - Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt/Henri Rene and his orchestra [There are so many remixes of this song...] 42 - Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley [Respectable] NOTEWORTHY CHANGES: songs that fell over 10 spots: 96. GNX - Kendrick Lamar/HittaJ3/YoungThreat/Peysoh (Down 29) [HIGHEST FALLER] 95. St Chroma - Tyler, The Creator/Daniel Caeser (Down 16) 76. Gloria - Kendrick Lamar/SZA (Down 17) 75. What Is This Feeling? - Cynthia Erivo/Ariana Grande (Down 13) 74. Man At The Garden - Kendrick Lamar (Down 22) 72. Heart Pt 6 - Kendrick Lamar (Down 18) 69. Popular - Ariana Grande (Down 16) 68. Reincarnated - Kendrick Lamar (Down 22) 60. Peekaboo - Kendrick Lamar/AzChike (Down 12) 57. Dodger Blue - Kendrick Lamar/Wallie The Sensei/Siete7x/Roddy Ricch (Down 16) 55. Defying Gravity - Cynthia Erivo/Ariana Grande (Down 10) 54. Wacced Out Murals - Kendrick Lamar (Down 25) 52. Hey Now - Kendrick Lamar/Dody6 (Down 20) Songs that climbed over 10 spots: 66. Messy - Lola Young (Up 26) [HIGHEST CLIMBER] BEST AND WORST: New entries: BEST - Toxic Till The End - ROSÉ WORST - ROSONES - Tito Double P Whole top 100: BEST - 'Sqaubble Up' - Kendrick Lamar WORST - 'No One Noticed' - The Marias NEXT WEEK PREDICTIONS: Albums from Snoop and Dre or Stray Kids could make an entry despite it being unlikely. For singles, KSI could enter, and possibly Bossman D-Low, Polo G, or Glorilla's new Christmas song.
