so_afraid

got eurythmics greatest hits and inxs kick cds from the charity shop last week, almost as a reflex rather than anything i was that bothered about lol (got prodigy - their law as well but it was knackered: always check the cd! do not be optimistic!)

i think tbh it's better to right an injustice for the benefit of the listeners than focus on it as a case of stolen valour, i'd rather just hear the songs in the end : )

kinda bombed out of the top 10 very quickly tho, would have thought the tour would have propped it up a bit smdh

having played this a lot i think it's something that works of a piece rather than as single songs but the title track is i think a big moment, HTIYLM has really grown as well, very doomy and grandiose, nowhere nobody is a fitting end as well. it took a while for it all to come into focus.mp3 but i think i might place this my 4th or 5th favourite?

and also, aren't there always caveats in the past? like, acts used to hype music into the charts, old stats were far less reliable on their own merits (ringing round a few shops here and there), it's not like there was some mythical time when the rules were perfect and we knew exactly who bought what and when. it may be different to what it was now but it is at least accurate for what it is, it's not like it was always very good in the past

still #1 on the global 200, clearly shaping up to be the rein me in of the whole world i fear

so hidden i didn't even know he had a regular show at all lmao

i like oré, has he got a show in the new line up?

got britney spears glory (deluxe) on cd, had to pay £5 extra postage because the seller apparently forgot to stamp it and then ignored my messages, good times 😠

you might as well post it, we're just going to assume it's worse than it is

got this and the hmv poster/sticker set, a true stan iktr

got true blue cd girls aloud ten cd (charity shop) the magic of judy garland cd (cs) charli xcx on cd baby queen on vinyl history of the jams/the timelords cd in the charity shop for 50p! gracie abrams on cd and tape (SQ surprisingly good) will probably get ariana today

it's a big hit isn't it! old enough to remember when this was going to be a boring flop that would disappear without trace, ariana the hitmaker you are

god are they that old? i thought they were all late 20s/early 30s, daniel p carter really dragging that average up huh

got the harry styles album on cd last week, i don't even know if i think it's that amazing but i do find it very comforting, i find myself listening to it all the time also, picked up ed sheeran x and christina aguilera stripped at the charity shop the other day, worth a solid 50p each

i didn't think he was upto much, weekend breakfast is a big slot, what was he doing there?!

ok if indie is moving the tuesday then which specialist slot is going? i guess that the long first look is going to be a showcase for new chart music as well as a rundown but i'm not convinced we need 3 hours of that? sunday starting to look like a mess tbh, i liked sian after the chart update

yeah this is like the first thing they should be dealing with! i have to assume there'll still be a lot of chat in there, it feels weird tho (and i'll miss shaniqua if she doesn't make the transition)

i'll miss ricky and melvin, do like jerry tho. james cusack always felt a bit out of his depth? i suspect gk barry won't last, the influencers don't often hang about, i liked nat with vicky, idk if i've heard charlie marlowe that much

shanequa saying just now that rein me in had been at #1 for 57 weeks and is she wrong?

dean's funny! i miss him in the day smdh

tbh i find mylo and rosie a bit local radio? think they should bring dean back to daytimes tho and agree that going home has been a mess from the beginning (tho i have warmed to jamie a bit in the end)

nice, i got one of the superjewel cases with giselle on the front, if i have a photobook thing then i have to find somewhere to put it and it's never to hand

blackout is a chazza find, you usually don't see that one ime bebe rexha - dirty blond on vinyl turned up today, ordered the slayyyter cd as well cos why not

got lemonade by aespa on cd today, considering getting the slayyyter cd as well 🤔
