2016: Beyoncé - All Night Frank Ocean - Nights Tinashe - Ghetto Boy

maybe they didn't want to split Different Religion's tracking week in half by dropping it on a Monday? not that her streaming's been especially strong as of late (even if the material for the most part has been)

no thanks x

Amoeba silver ❤️ nice to see Back To December (T.V.) and Piledriver Waltz go silver too - wish it was the solo Alex Turner version of Piledriver Waltz from Submarine instead tho, much prefer that version

m8 it was A-listed on both Radio 1 and Radio 2 and charted on the radio for months I guess, but her label aren't exactly going to start pushing a hit from two years ago again when they're working three current singles (Be Her, Loving Life Again and her feature on Koe Wetzel's Jaded) to radio already

Ella Langley's comedic banger??? like most of the hits she's had this year but I'm not sure where the comedy is in her material!

Pure's genuinely good as well if you haven't heard it

don't think it will I'm afraid - Jack was making a big deal of it being a world exclusive to those plays until the album release on Friday

Royel Otis are awful (and one of their members is a n*nce) but the other three bands you mentioned are fine enough if sometimes a bit overhyped

SexOnTheBeat's not on the album because it's from her EP The Provocateur that was released last year - I'd recommend listening to that if you like those two tracks but were indifferent on much of PRIMA as it leans a lot more into their "edgier"/more provocative sound. SUPERSCAR and DeathByDevotion are two personal faves of mine from the EP but the whole thing's good, I found it much better than PRIMA tbh

sounded like it's an exclusive radio promo single - didn't seem like there'd be any release to DSPs until the album drops on Friday

liking this a fair bit on first listen

every day is such a vibe!

yes and no, fundamentally the charts should be a reflection of what people are listening to - the OCC already manipulate the charts with ACR and the three-track rule which already make them something of an inaccurate view of what people are listening to. charts are supposed to be for consumption measurement and industry usage just as much (if not moreso) than entertainment value, even if the charts are getting very stagnant at the minute

Miley down to #59 on the singles chart! only one new entry on the midweek singles chart: #74: Fire In The Booth by Wretch 32

saying that, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? was #36 on sales last week while Definitely Maybe was #76 - granted, both positions'll probably equate to less than a hundred sales each but it's worth noting that SOMEBODY seems to be buying them - both albums have charted on the Album Sales chart for all but one week (Record Store Day's tracking week) this year!

the fact that Bloc Party could theoretically tie their highest chart position with that awful album they dropped 😭 (I know it'll fall back during the week but STILL)

if we're talking about Dominic Fike's track, sure. Jamie Miller's song of the same name is... fine, I guess? not much to say about it tbh.

the two versions of Clean Baby Sleep White Noise are only 12k behind Rein Me In now when combined lmao

⚠️ beat up chanel$ top fifty on airplay! this is not a drill!! Slayyyter - charting on airplay!!! ⚠️ lol at the 14-way tie for #27 on TV airplay - wonder if there were more than 14 tracks tied but they only displayed 14 to keep it to 40 tracks on chart!

the album was called A Celebration Of Endings, not Instant History (that was its lead single)

Instant History's kind of in the iffy pile too tbh - everything up to Only Revolutions is pretty good, Opposites is bloated but decent and everything afterwards is a VERY mixed bag

This is terrifying nowhere is safe from the Biffage

don't even know if that's bottom five lines tbh - both of Meg's verses are butchered SO BADLY: "Follow me sing with me Biff down the side of me Quick jump out before being what you got to be I tell him where to put it, never tell where I'm bout to be I'll run down on him fore I have a Biffy run for me Play your riff, bite your lip Ask for a car while you chase that Biff You really ain't never gotta Biff him for a thing He already made his mind up 'fore he came" "Your honor I'm a freak Biff, tattoo, bearded Switch my ring, make him feel like he cheatin' Put him on his knees, give him something to believe in Never lost a fight but i'm lookin for a Biff In the food chain, I'm the one that eat you But in my bass, he's a Biffy eater Big D stand for big demeanor I could make you Biff before i ever meet ya"

you had PBSD (Post Biffy Stress Disorder) lmao - guess we're not wet as Biffy!
