Back to that Off Campus scene...

Except for number 40, it's off to a fine start

My CD audio recorder is spinning this week as I'm on audio CD-R for recording.

Of course obviously on Radio One's contenders list - Rein Me In, Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo. No mention of Billie Jean.

It was eleven years ago today, the charts moved from a Sunday to Friday.

The amount of 1tros this week: six - 38, 37, 29, 28, 23, 13

Fifteen non-consecutive weeks now for Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. Turns out I feel it in my fingers and toes...

That's one actual contender down, not that Radio 1 mention it in the recap of contenders!

Of course the real contenders are Rein Me In, Stupid Song and Billie Jean.

Which would've been a US Number One in spring 2011 had YouTube views been incorporated into the Hot 100 instead of in 2013. Cost around $4,000 USD to produce altogether.

Of course you have the mentor at 7, and the women who was inspired by her at 8 and 6 so far..

Just go listen to "We Belong Together", a Randy Newman tune from the third Toy Story film.

Always reminded of my recent American trip when Choosin' Texas comes on, because it's way more overplayed there. But I actually love it.

Here comes the top ten

Very much Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems right now with 17 and 15 played in succession!

Skipped to give On the Floor at 34 airtime

While Noah Kahan is slightly fading away, his 2024 UK Number One Stick Season is still getting around via Stella Lefty (rather neatly) using a bit of it on Boston - helps because Lefty is very much a countrified Olivia Rodrigo (who helped Stick Season get to the top in the UK in the first place).

52 mins of show dedicated to 40 to 21

I don't recall Radio 1's beef with Aperture, despite it being a UK number one for one week.

Fits how the UK loved singer songwriters like Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley etc.

This next new entry features Inde Navarrette (fresh off starring in Curry Barker's film Obsession, which I saw on my American trip) in the music video as the love interest.

Looks like the lower reaches of 40-11 are getting more play due to them being occupied by playlisted tracks.

Anyway! We interrupt this chart for the four thirty news!

I for one DO NOT dig those 1tros they're playing in front of many choice cuts because it helps speed the show up. That's why I had to bring the counter back for the end of the program - stick round for that.

I'm honestly certain probably.
