Which means sense why it's more to prepare by playing oldies instead.

Bad Times had just played on the Radio 1 Party Anthems 3-4pm pre-show but I guarantee it won't ever chart high!

Two records to go...

I can guarantee Stop the Wedding is obviously gonna be one of my late additions to Best Hit Songs of 2026. Please, I really do want this to be a number one or Top 3 hit, because it's the single that I would've immediately loved from day one.

Not the case if Christmas songs are not counted...

Practical Magic 2 just really made me love this song a bit more than I usually would

Maybe a funny sound effect like "ah!"

But for real, each time The Cure comes on, I'm like God this is only going on Halloween playlists because of the video alone.

How about "sticks"

I'm not sure what the whispering that ADÉLA does in this track remind me of..

Just one number away from its peak so far..

In comes the whinger

The first Top 40 single for the Music Corporation of America - or MCA - label in ages!

Shame that while Audrey Hobert has the better music, Malcolm Todd has the bigger chart success.

I'd argue that this and the actual Ella Langley single in the Top 40 is like the 1996 scenario of The X Files' versions - Mark Snow and DJ Dado in the Top 10.

Of course it'd be hilarious for it and the Ella Langley single to be rivalling each other in the Top 10.. a la the X Files in 1996 and I Found Lovin and When I Fall in Love in 1987.

Nothing compared to French Kiss by Lil Louis!

Ordinary is just year old stale old bread left in the fridge...

(incomprehensible mumbling - insert here): that's just Drake in my ears!

I'm absolutely digging this - a great dance tune!

I recall some stations in Ireland often played the non Sean Paul version of Rockabye by Clean Bandit when it was a hit

That's 40-30 done, now they're preparing 29-1..

I can guarantee you it is the original non-Derulo version that Radio 1 prefer.

For those who cannot decipher the image, I'm obviously referring to the so called reply back to No Scrubs called No Pigeons.
