Hope this avoids ACR throughout the Christmas season long enough to pull an Escapism. - the first number one of the new year.

I want this to go top ten so badly. My most listened to song from the soundtrack

Pat Boone has 103 weeks

I would’ve been so pissed off if I were the Cramps. Their song being the one that actually soundtracked the iconic dance scene in Wednesday but a fan made TikTok edit to a Lady Gaga song is the one that gets the chart boast and annual Halloween boast now because that’s the one everyone thinks was in the scene.

Even as a kid during this time, loved this period because all of the big charts hits (the only way I was discovering music at the time) were all by women. Was reminded about during in summer 2023 when the successive numbers (and top 5-7 every week) were by women but that December to March run was I believe the only time prior to 2023 that five different songs by women were the successive chart toppers • Leona Lewis - Run • Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah • Lady Gaga - Just Dance* • Lily Allen - The Fear • Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You plus everything else vis-à-vis women going on at that 3 month period - Alesha Dixon comeback as a soloist, The Saturdays ascension, Girls Aloud eventual last hurrah, Pussycat Dolls last time as a unit for a decade, peak Pink, Beyoncé’s most commercially dominant era, Taylor Swift starting to emerge internationally. * James Masterton of chart watch uk said Colby O’Donis wasn’t credited on the uk single release at the time and his verse was left out of the radio edit.

MTV Music UK had a “biggest of the year countdown” the other day and anyone know how accurate this is? Ordinary Pink Pony Club Golden Messy Love Me Not Dior APT.

Thank goodness, I like "Air Balloon" well enough but that being for last major hit / top ten just felt off. also, if ‘Pussy Palace’ does end up going top ten, do we know how many other British women had a top ten hit in three decades like Allen would have (00s, 10s, 20s) Unless I’m missing someone, the only other ones are Shirley Bassey (50s, 60s, 70s); Kate Bush (70s, 80s, 00s) and Adele (00s, 10s, 20s).

Unless I’m missing something obvious, the three Dave tracks will be his three collaborators highest peaking in the UK. in addition to it being Tems 2nd top ten (after #8 collab “Wait For U” with Drake & Future in 2022), and both the first top ten for James Blake and Kano.

Do the streams and sales towards both songs count towards the duel total. Wonder which one is the most consumed.

What does BOTTB mean? I assumed "Bring on the throw back"?

Still loving how there’s a new hamilton cert every other week now, and there’s still 19 more tracks from the musical that hasn’t been cert yet. One of their best songs for me, glad to see it go silver (I believe their 10th deep cut to go silver?) Anyone know what this has been doing weekly, if I recall correctly it sold around 150k in 2010 so if my math is right it is only about 58 units per week? And assuming it keeps at that pace, would reach gold status by December 2089, lol.

Huntr/x are doing every date of the iHeart Jingle Ball city tour in December, which also happens to not be on the same day as the capital jingle bell ball. Can see them doing it this year too.

Honestly dont see her doing any festivals period until Midnight/Eras jumpstarted Taylor-mania dies down in like 5-10 years? Not even Glastonbury or Coachella.

Thank you, knew I was forgetting some obvious folk. Didn’t realise million dollar bill was platinum, adore that record. Glad it’s being remembered as a part of Whitney’s catalogue.
