Bob Dylan

Drake and MJ both clogging up the charts, despite being “Not Like Us”…..

waiting for The Cure to release a song called “Olivia Rodrigo”

As if anyone isn’t a Gaga fan!?! Haha x

But people forget RMI as soon as they’ve heard it, even now!

Urggh get rid of country music from the charts please. Such a whiff of Confederate nonsense.

Man I Need and Abracadabra are the only 2025 hits that will still be remembered in 2035, I’m sure of it.

So Paul McCartney is the oldest artist to have a #1 album with new material now?

Frankie Laine turning in his grave as we speak…

Yeah Travis were very much the John the Baptist to Coldplay’s Jesus haha. Shame Better Off Alone couldn’t quite rise to #1 this week.

Also, when we get to the number #10 rate, I’m giving Mr Brightside the lowest mark because I fear what’s going to happen…

Do I Wanna Know?

I can’t wait for the #11 contest in 2029 actually - so many iconic songs just missed out on the top 10!

I wonder if Sign of the Times will return to the charts because of Project Hail Mary?

Weird that Madness got an extra performance on the actual week of release.

Thanks for running this Rollo, great as ever :) See you all in ‘27 for #9 heaven!
