Hard agree..

Is it probably due to staleness and incoming competition from much much older songs?

ABSOLUTELY A GREAT TRACK! I think Stop the Wedding will eventually be a number one, two or Top 3 or 5 hit in pretty short order..

She's another in what I call Pro Tools soul.

Each time Die On This Hill is played with that 1tro, it's just Verse - Chorus 2x - Bridge - Chorus - end... Very much a custom edit.

I personally think 2026 is looking to be the year pop music TRULY died.

It's probably puritans

That's what I immediately think of having South Park type cynicism (see the season 15 episode You're Getting Old for this).

This tune would've gotten you kicked out of a talent showcase years ago...

It sure is! Adult contemporary needs it's own chart in the UK!

Makes sense the twenty something's streaming music grew up in late 2000s and 2010s and see them as the music defining their youth.

A new peak for the first Sienna Spiro track on the chart this time.

..which means skip a few numbers.

Or better yet, scrap the Friday 5:45pm Newsbeat

Anyway, this Oasis tune is very obviously taking us back to a better time of the chart, when Mark Goodier actually hosted and played ALL forty records.

Obviously part of the modern revisions of those lists of songs you must listen to before you die.

From 6 pm to midnight, Europe's Biggest Dance Show follows the Top 40.

That second line might mean "I don't know how our relationship is going so far"

Turns out Noah Kahan is likely to have another number one single under his belt via the same song he topped the charts with in 2024, but interpolated.

That's one contender crossed off the list.

Between Stella Lefty, Sienna Spiro with Great Expectation and Ella Langley with Choosin' Texas.. those three left.

Turns out that the ACR rules need to be accounted for and properly looked at..

...so that's why they stick to mainly 2010s dates.

May be unlikely but it'd be interesting if they picked 1996

I hear it's sticking to 2010s years I presume. 2011 this time round. God I don't wanna be reminded of my childhood.
