20 Jigsaw Average score: 8.2 Highest scorer: 09.0 (HarryGarfield, JosephBoone) Lowest scorer: 07.0 (Josh!) 19 Yours Average score: 8.2 Highest scorer: 11.0 (Calum) Lowest scorer: 06.0 (Josh!) A double whammy of Superache singles now as we enter the top 20, the first being Jigsaw. You'll notice that we only have the lyric video for Jigsaw and that's because - for reasons unknown - the music video for this was supposedly filmed but never released and ended up being cancelled. A strange decision because what a single this is. Born from a diary entry about changing parts of yourself so much that you no longer recognise who you are in the mirror all to finally be loved by someone, this really is quite a heartbreaking song despite the punchy chorus that gives more of the pop-leaning Conan. One quote from an interview Conan took part in that I find really inspiring is: "Destroying yourself to win somebody's love will only leave you empty on the other side. Because in the end, that person won't love you, just the version of you that you made for them. Instead choose to become somebody that you love." Say it louder! From one single with quite a heartbreaking message to another, we have my personal favourite single (and possibly song from his discography, period) of Conan's, Yours. And following up on the music video trivia earlier, I either haven't seen the music video for Yours in quite some time and had forgotten or haven't ever seen it, but phew he looks so beautiful and ethereal. For me, Yours is Conan truly at his most vulnerable in his songwriting. The lyrics are so raw and so honest, tackling feelings about another person that you might not want to admit but are sometimes the blunt truth staring right back at you. I can relate to this song a lot, and the way it builds throughout is stunning; probably Conan's biggest - challenged only by Alley Rose? - vocal delivery to date and one for the heartbreak and trauma playlists to cry your heart out to.

With the five-way tie broken it's Niall's one remaining single Slow Hands that falls victim to Joseph's vote. Slow Hands finishing in seventh place means that we have an all-Harry top 6, so which of his singles will be next? The results so far: 7. Slow Hands [Niall Horan] 8. Dusk Till Dawn [ZAYN feat. Sia] 9. PILLOWTALK [ZAYN] 10. This Town [Niall Horan] 11. Music For a Sushi Restaurant [Harry Styles] 12. For You [Liam Payne & Rita Ora] 13. Just Hold On [Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson] 14. Strip That Down [Liam Payne feat. Quavo] 15. I Don't Wanna Live Forever [ZAYN & Taylor Swift] 16. Back to You [Louis Tomlinson feat. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals] Time for Round 10 and this time it'll be a DOUBLE elimination to determine the top 4.

I gave up on this series just before George was ejected and going by all of the comments in here it seems I was right to lmao. What a state. ITV really do not know what to do with Big Brother, and all of the twists and blatant manipulation is bleak. No doubt they'll think they're doing an amazing job and pat themselves on the back though, driving it into the ground for another 10 series before they get the message.

JESSIE!!!

22 Astronomy Average score: 7.8 Highest scorer: 08.5 (JosephBoone) Lowest scorer: 06.5 (Josh!) 21 Checkmate Average score: 8.1 Highest scorer: 09.0 (Calum) Lowest scorer: 07.0 (Josh!) Up next are two singles I'm quite shocked to see finish so low, and outside the top 20 at that! The first of those is Astronomy from Conan's sophomore album Superache. Released in May 2021, Astronomy is a beautiful, understated single that tells the story of drifting apart from somebody that you loved because at some point you realised that you're 'two worlds apart' and they're not the person they once were. If you've ever been in love (and fallen out of love!) this is surely one song you can relate to; having nothing in common with someone you adored so much, taking on the heartbreak of letting them go and accepting that things aren't going to be the same again and being the strangers you've become is how things are best left. From one track 5 to another, Checkmate - from debut album Kid Krow - sees Conan switch things up a little with, until this point, his most commercial-sounding, traditional pop song. Is there any lore on which aspiring Netflix actor this song could be about? Who knows, but here Conan uses the metaphor of chess to signal that he is nobody's pawn and that he is in fact the king (a fitting callback). It's clear the song held a lot of weight at the time as Conan's said that he cried out the song in the space of five minutes in his bedroom, and said it was dedicated to an asshole that was always playing games with his heart. Conan's poor heart has been through so much, and this is only the beginning of it all with Kid Krow.

Honestly these are my thoughts too. I'd like to think RTD's agreed to do the 2026 special to give closure to the cliffhanger and this second run before giving way to a new showrunner for a 2027 series, starting fresh with a solid plan for a series a year in-house (or a new deal if that ends up happening, with concrete commitment) moving forward.

To be fair to Chibnall sometimes the Christmas element is definitely shoehorned into episodes just for the sake of appearing that way in an episode airing on Christmas Day. And his NYD episodes are among some of his strongest scripts

Confirmation today from the BBC that there will be a 2026 Christmas special, written by RTD. And... that the Disney deal is done! The end of the article also says that The War Between the Land and the Sea is coming 'later this year' so seems like rumours that it's going to air in December instead of being pushed back to 2026 might not be wrong Either way, this is all very exciting if only for the fact it means the show's not going anywhere!!

Interested to hear this. But let's be honest we just need Nick to come back with another solo album and show them how it's done.

24 Crush Culture Average score: 7.1 Highest scorer: 08.0 (JosephBoone) Lowest scorer: 06.5 (-Jay-) 23 The Story Average score: 7.2 Highest scorer: 08.0 (HarryGarfield, -Jay-, JosephBoone) Lowest scorer: 05.5 (Josh!) Crush Culture finishes as the highest-rated single from Conan's debut EP Sunset Season at #24, however it's a shame that in the first nine singles to be revealed we've lost all of the singles from that era; an era that defined a lot of Conan's artistry and that shaped him into who he is now. Alas, a song that evolved from seeing his friends so 'in love' with one another and not having experienced that for himself came to be. Conan describes it somewhat as coming from a place of bitterness, but is that being too hard on oneself? Yearning for that too, wishing it was you and waiting for the right person to come along and make all of that happen... patience, young Conan. You have no idea what's to come. Going back to Kid Krow and we have The Story. Now a song suggested to be tied in some way lyrically and thematically to This Song from his fourth album Wishbone (the story of 'the boy and the boy'), Conan (brace yourself) tells the story of what life was like pre-fame; things that have happened in his life, the effects, and the relationships around him. The Story feels like a love letter or care package to a younger self, looking back and assuring yourself that everything's going to be okay no matter how messed up, scary and world-ending things might seem at the time. All of the lived experiences and the stories that belong to you live on through our nearest and dearest. And this only further solidifies the power of Conan's storytelling.

26 Generation Why Average score: 6.9 Highest scorer: 08.0 (HarryGarfield) Lowest scorer: 06.0 (Calum) 25 The King Average score: 7.0 Highest scorer: 08.5 (JosephBoone) Lowest scorer: 05.5 (Josh!) Released just over seven years ago this month, Generation Why sees another single from Conan's debut EP Sunset Season drop out at this early stage. In sticking with the view through his reflective and sometimes sombre lens, Generation Why explores some deep feelings of hopelessness and possibly even anxiety or fear about Conan's generation regarding real world issues and and the pressures that the world itself puts upon them; further extending the ties that bind this EP with senior year experiences and thoughts about the world you're living in and your future. I think, for me and despite not being my favourite from the EP, this would be one of my top picks from Sunset Season to hear live in a slower-paced, dreamy and reflective section. Fast forward five months and we have The King, released in March 2019. Conan's fanbase are no strangers to speculating about the subjects of his music with many well-known names being thrown out there. Perhaps more surprisingly among those names though is that Manu Rios - of Netflix's Elite - is believed by many to be the subject of this song; one that Conan has described being about somebody that waited four years to tell him that they liked him back. The King is a really beautiful song, and when you can detach yourself from some really crazy theories about x song being about y person and just absorb it and take something meaningful from the lyrics it will always be exactly that.

Decided not to include Lily as, true, there's no official single but then also means going down the road of a song included based on playlist support for all the other pop albums released.

We're getting into the dark, cold nights now and it's exactly a month today until the fifth and final season of Stranger Things begins on Netflix. With that, I'm looking to gage interest in either a standalone or several watchalong nights possibly recapping the best single episode of Stranger Things, a small number of crucial episodes from the first four seasons taking us into season 5, or simply refreshing our memories of the season 4 finale before we all jump into the new season. Any thoughts welcome at this point until we decide on a date, time and place for the watchalong(s), and if we have a lot of different suggestions I'll get a poll up for everyone to vote in. Any suggestions for future watchalongs are also welcome. The BuzzJack TV Watchalong: November 2025 - Stranger Things
