so_afraid

that can't be right can it, it had momentum!

got adéla on cd, ariana - petal on white vinyl amd yeule - evangelical girl is a gun on vinyl

but why lmao

i can remember 2023 when they had olivia, doja cat etc and ngl this feels very third tier

but this is like their second top 10 hit, one is unfortunate, two looks like carelessness

popularity of loser baffles me, it's not like tame impala are more commercial than they used to be, they're just worse

i wanna know how much they'll commit to this homegrown albums thing, like if there's a pink floyd live album hitting #1 again, does that make the homegrown chart and mean we get shine on you crazy diamond on radio 1?

always good when they crack out 212 for a laugh : )

just on a thursday? it feels really weird, it does have that slightly airless quality you get when its not live as well, like they're broadcasting from a nuclear bunker lol

GK barry is on, is this her regular thing now or is she filling in? feels weird that she's just popping up randomly in the week

i don't think they like dean lol

after i bought a vinyl this week as well 😭

: (

the mail are kicking up a stink (yawn), paywalled but this is the best precis i've seen of it, honestly i think if you listen to radio 1 then yr used to these big clearouts?

yeah it's a bit like something pinkpnatheress would do i think?

oh well was the one where it took time for me to hear it properly, cos the chorus feels a bit weird, but once its sticks its a real highlight i think

jack is on in the daytime! this is great

confidently predicting that jamie won't do thursdays

bought a vinyl this week, hasn't shipped yet but am counting on my purchase giving her a much needed chart boost lol

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
