Not a given the way they've been playing. And they finished 4th in their Euro 2016 qualifying group. Nigeria qualified tonight and expect to see the likes of Poland, Costa Rica and Egypt join them in the next few days.

Good thing about Stefflon Don (and Yungen) smashing it lately is that the success of their current singles should mean they could get away with releasing something less mainstream next time and still do well. They'd certainly get the support now. Stefflon Don especially.

I was at a student event on Tuesday and everyone knew the words to 'Lock Doh' when it came on so I definitely agree with this!

Not too surprised at Giggs, he's very popular right now. 'Linguo' sounds exactly like Lock Doh too.

Now officially a Top 10 chart smash! :wub: I first heard this in mid-June and it's still rising, the longevity and reach of this song has been amazing.

What an inspired choice of feature!

He became experimental and it sounded weaker than his signature productions. Also, I think a single producer dominating urban radio ahs a limited shelf life (Timbaland, Mike Will etc..) and he did well to have two years at the top.

3M_5oYU-IsU No thread for this yet?! This is probably the biggest novelty track to come out of the UK this year, cannot underestimate the power this is having right now. Already a chart hit of course, how far can this go?

Yeah, they wouldn't have taken 'rockstar' off. :lol: Loving the adds for Krept & Konan, Hardy Caprio, Sneakbo (big song atm) and Wretch 32 (favourite song right now). Great to see Bryson Tiller, Jorja Smith and Yxng Bane up to the A-List.

I say long may it continue! :lol:

Oh yeah, both City and Rovers went up that year and got everyone at school very excited. :lol: I actually do sing it, the more drunk I get the more Bristolian I sound! Also, I don't think I've ever been at a West Country wedding where the 'Cider Drinker' song isn't played.

It's a big shock to see Argentina on the brink, but consider they have scored less than a goal a game in qualifying - with players like Messi, Aguero, Higuaín to call upon! Also, while they reached the final in 2014, they were pretty dire to watch. Their knockout games were something like 1-0, 1-0, 0-0. I haven't seen much of South American qualifying, but Peru might be a breath of fresh air in the finals. Certainly never been near a World Cup in my lifetime and the kit is pretty iconic.

Any Giggs showing up yet?

I think a lot of people hoped he would.

Any reason why a Wurzels song about Bristol City charted that week? :lol: Couldn't get much more West Country, even I've been asked to sing the Combine Harvester song on a night out.

Must admit, 'This Love' is a bit of a guilty childhood pleasure.

gacq5j_Z5Rw Most immediate effort from Shakka to date, I would love this to be as successful as 'Say Nada' - a club staple to this day! Should be an urban hit, but that chorus and production means I could see this climbing Spotify and being added to the R1 playlist in time.

Hype for Charlie Sloth!!

Excited for their mixtapes, got some interesting features on there! Not feeling these two songs massively, I'm wanting a 'Don't Waste My Time' type banger from them - I think that's what they need to remain as one of the prominent UK rap acts. I was obsessed with 'Freak Of The Week' but I cannot see them getting chart success like that again. It was to 2015 what 'Did You See' or 'Bestie' have been this year - perfectly on trend, credible for the underground but with a huge hook that drew in the pop crowd. Basically DJ Mustard + Dancehall influence + Jeremih + heavy promotion and airply equalled huge hit back then. They'd need to do an Afrobeat influenced track with a big hook from a big artist to match that success.

So many great songs on this list though isn't there?! Exchange, Best I Ever Had, Remember The Name, Low Life, No Role Modelz, Wet Dreamz, Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Truffle Butter, White Iverson, No Games and Pick Up The Phone. :wub: No Games, I mentioned a few weeks ago, gets played every single time I go out... it's baffling that wasn't a chart hit! Exchange is one of those songs that gives me deep feels too.

Got everything crossed that you're right! Sounds like the UK version of 'Luv'. :wub:

Could 'Bestie' actually become a Top 10 chart hit?!

Why?

I'd argue that someone like Beyoncé is above chart trends to be honest.
