Hassaan

Seems to reflect those who like to downplay the whole thing by saying "people are getting locked up for tweets". No, if you're actively encouraging people to set fire to a hotel, you deserve to face the consequences.

I mean, a lot of those people seem to be angry about everything. Even if they happened to be satisfied with all of that, they'll find something else.

There's a Hassan on this series. He has the normal spelling. 😃

27,065. This album has already outsold what that did in terms of CDs (15,750).

Robbie Williams' Candy in 2012 wasn't playlisted cos at 38 he was deemed too old. Still managed to get to #1 though.

He'll probably get a lot of votes from those not even watching just to "wind up the woke lefties" or something.

He did Apprentice in 2019 so it's slightly odd timing (though he's not exactly been out of the news since then).

I like a fun and cheesy music video, perhaps more so now as they're often considered a product of the past. They're not the sole or large part of selling a song anymore but there's still an audience for it. You're right that doing comedic music videos isn't something Ed has done much of but he's at the stage in his career where he can afford to have some fun.

He spoke about it briefly on the Louis Theroux podcast a short while back. There's no beef. It was just a jokey thing between them and Ed even invited Danny to watch a football game.

At least it sort of charted, but (perhaps unsurprisingly) it looks like his focus is now on the album and touring. I'd love him to get another top 40 single though.

It is interesting though because one could argue that Old Phone is less of a risk creatively for Ed than the other two singles from this era, but they have ultimately done better. Hard to compare directly as Azizam was released two months prior to Sapphire but if we're simply taking online traction, the latter seems to have done a lot better.

I have a Switch (which I primarily use) but we also have a Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 in the house.

Climbing slightly to #7 this week. Azizam is at #54.

Although chart wise, it'll probably boost it a little which would also give the original a bit more attention?

There's parts of it I enjoy, though there's some parts that probably could have been better executed. I don't know why participants in these shows get worked up over the others "playing a game". Only one person can win, after all.

If we're talking active bands, the only #1 we've had all decade is Little Mix (Sweet Melody). In terms of inactive bands, The Beatles. There's the Live Lounge Allstars but that's a collection of solo artists so not really the same.

My friends (who generally are autistic like me) know that I am obsessed with random bits of trivia and having a strong memory when it comes to certain things. It's a weird one cos I know someone who's 22 and I recognise the artists she's going to see even without being a massive fan of them, purely because of how much I glance at sales figures and the like.

Scary yet sadly unsurprising that Reform are so high.

I think they'll let you have this one. 😅

Who's the little girl stood next to Prince William? They're the first team to ever win the Euros after having lost their first game.

They've done it!

Not good for our nerves this...

I'm currently playing Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and buying Crash Bandicoot: Nitro Fueled next.

LazyTown.

When was the last time that happened for him?
