How about if I offer to host the listenthrough for Unknown Pleasures tonight instead? I'll put a post in that thread now.

Makes me scared to look at who'd be left on the bench to turn to.

My personal rankings this week; Elley Duhé – Body Talk Clean Bandit x Tiësto x Leony – Tell Me Where U Go Sebastian Ingrosso x Steve Angelo x Namasenda – No Enemies Cheetah x Nia Archives – Get Loose Sammy Virji x Issey Cross – Nostalgia Alan Walker x Sorana – Mind Of A Warrior Armin van Buuren x Sam Gray – Dream A Little Dream Faithless x Bebe Rexha – Dollars And Dimes

Realistically that's not the objective immediately. It's been stated many times that United will need several transfer windows to challenge for the league title again, it's not going to happen in just one window regardless of budget.

United need to nab one of those excellent Crystal Palace FA Cup finalists!

My personal rankings this week; Billy Idol & Avril Lavigne – 77 Linkin Park – Unshatter Halestorm – Darkness Always Wins Sam Fender – Tyrants YUNGBLUD – Lovesick Lullaby Lorde – What Was That Sleep Token – Damocles HAIM – Down to be wrong

My personal rankings this week; Nemo – Casanova Benson Boone – Mystical Magical Amy MacDonald – Is This What You've Been Waiting For? Zara Larsson – Pretty Ugly Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Vertigo Tom Odell – Don't Let Me Go PinkPantheress – Stateside Lauren Spencer-Smith – IF KARMA DOESNT GET YOU (I WILL)

Great post! You can find Lorde in the Indie Track of the Week poll which you can vote for her!

I don't disagree with this. It is hard to strike a balance with the "Radio 1" releases and then anything else that has its own audience. That said, I don't think Myles had any chance up against some of the other names that did make it to this week's poll.

Results of Quarter One; Week 6: Oklou – blade bird [ 8 ] Week 8: Fontaines D.C. – It's Amazing To Be Young [ 8 ] Week 2: Ethel Cain – Amber Waves [ 6 ] Week 11: Sleep Token – Emergence [ 5 ] Week 13: Linkin Park – Up From The Bottom [ 5 ] Week 3: Mumford & Sons – Rushmere [ 4 ] Week 7: Sam Fender – Remember My Name [ 4 ] Week 4: Nova Twins – Monsters [ 3 ] Week 10: Black Country, New Road – Happy Birthday [ 2 ] Week 12: SOFT PLAY feat.

It's as I said before, people go wild for Ajanaeda as host! They want to bring their A-game! This has been quite an exceptional contest I might add in more ways than one, and from a personal point of view I feel I have no place being amongst these finalists! 😄

Yes please. Tonight?

Added by special request to the Pop Track of the Week poll in a swap deal with the Dance Track of the Week poll courtesy of @danG

@Frenchie @Mangø please could you both resubmit your votes for this poll as a change was made.

Hey I cared enough to make sure she was included in the Pop Track of the Week poll at the expense of another of your faves... Jessie J!

Also a disclaimer that this week was so stacked with releases that there was no room for me to include the likes of Arcade Fire, Daughtry, Gigi Perez, Self Esteem, The All-American Rejects, Viagra Boys WARGASM and other worthy additions.

If Invincible is your favourite new release this week, be sure to vote for OneRepublic in this week's Pop Track of the Week!

Has to be Option A!

More likely see United coming in for Mateta soon.

It's... different, I'll give you that.
