Looking at that candidate list it looks like a comfortable win for the Greens in my opinion.

Very sad news in the Snooker world today as John Virgo passes away aged 79. Was a good player but will be remembered more for his TV career after retirement. BBC SportJohn Virgo dies aged 79John Virgo, who co-presented TV show Big Break and was a popular BBC commentator for decades, has died.

Been catching up on this mornings Men's Downhill training runs - the track looks very difficult and you can see the riders easing off in places.

There's the training for the Alpine Skiing as well. But yeah for some reason I thought the ice hockey started tomorrow as well but looks like it's Thursday.

Looking forward to this starting tomorrow - will probably watch some of the skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey and track events. Will avoid the Curling - never got the appeal.

All being well they'll have forgotten about it due to better music coming out by then.

Hopefully not. We need fresh blood on both the UK and US charts.

Hybrid Theory must be in contention for this, surely?

You'd expect the first single off Harry's album to be the most commercial song though which doesn't bode well for the rest of the album and the charts.

But who's still active as a musician and could have that kind of pull? There's not many names left that could do it - the days of pop superstars having success for elongated periods are dead - if anything becomes a smash hit it's going to be through Tik Tok or film or TV and probably someone new sadly.

Canada please

Looks close between Raye and Dave - could be either at No 1 by Friday.

Great Divide at #5 - some fall Streets of Minneapolis at #24 - good chance of staying Top 75 if not Top 40 Run My Way at #49 - risks not even making the Top 100 if it falls much more All Don Toliver's three hits outside the Top 40 - poor showing for him

I've had this on for the past hour or so after coming across this thread. I think they've played 1 song I had heard before - so a good way to discover some new old music. Although I do think it would benefit from an algorithm that makes sure the songs are remotely similar as there's been a few weird change of tones - mainly going from 90s songs to 60s songs where the difference in sound is very noticeable.

Hopefully we get surprise music from a major artist and that finally gets some new stuff to the top of the charts. New music from Olivia Rodrigo seems the most likely to be that difference at the minute.

We'll have to disagree, it just sounds like generic pop from two decades ago.

Christ, this sounds very dated.

Do we think Streets of Minneapolis will stay Top 100?

There's far too many members in this band - should have stuck to a maximum of 4. The song is mediocre as well.

As another poster has pointed out Tame Impala isn't a group, for so called music professionals picking him for that's a bad look. Don't get me started on the mainstream blinkers of the alternative and rock act nominees as well; ridiculous.

Both Aperture for Harry Styles and The Great Divide for Noah Kahan falling significantly from where they started then. Looks like Raindance will sneak another week at No 1.

Kevin Abstract is on tonight's Chill Zone so probably added in light of that.

Very respectable.

What did you score?

Is that Simon Cowell Netflix show worth watching or is it just a rehash of The X Factor?
