Nostalgia bait is the phenomenon of 2026, I can tell you this much.

To answer the latter, the algorithm.

Is the chord progression just Ellie Goulding - Close to Me and Pixies - Where is My Mind, or is it just me?

Sue Me is so Eurovision coded

But expect Sue Me to climb...

The top two have interviews preceding the records...

Yeah, via the double A cover version in 1995 by Robson and Jerome (other side being Up on the Roof).

Chart stat nerd geek like me would absolutely be stoked!

The sales gap was indeed tight..

So it can match its peak on the US Billboard Hot 100...

I'm not mad at Ella Langley going Top 3...

But Ella Langley IS a contender this week..

But I honestly don't mind THAT song...

That's a connection to the Mark Goodier hosted years of the chart - her peak years of chart success on A&M:PM were hosted by him

It will still be published though.

Depeche Mode syndrome levels of departing the charts.

She may be whiny but you can't deny Olivia Rodrigo has got some serious songwriting chops.

Let's hope it's the songs in entirety...

With fifty weeks on the Top 40...

Top Ten time!

Have you forgotten about Gabriela?

Just knockoff Toxic - thus we're just getting Wes era hosting vibes!

Just ruining Get It On Tonite

Aubrey at 40 and Malcolm at 19.. are they actually brother and sister?

Best described as "WGWAG" - white guy (girl, in this case) with acoustic guitar - according to Todd in the Shadows..
