It'll be great to see Danny Jones make the top 100 but I think it's sadly unlikely.

The thing I don't get with JK is why the whole thing is such an obsession for her. It seems like the only thing she ever talks about.

It did, although I feel touring is considered their priority now. It seems most albums don't last very long on the charts these days.

Smart. It coincides with Danny Jones inevitably being unmasked as Piranha on The Masked Singer tonight. :D

I've said for a while that the current government act like a bunch of school children but I think even children would know better than to say what Sunak said. I know how these things go though, they won't lose any support and it'll have been forgotten by whenever there is an election.

I'm pretty confident about Bigfoot (Alex Brooker), Piranha (Danny Jones) and Air Fryer (Keala Settle). The Simon Webbe clues for Cricket have been a bit on the nose but maybe that's deliberate to throw them off? I don't know. I began to wonder if Eiffel Tower is Paloma Faith disguising her voice a little.

The opening post has been updated with more recent sales for James Arthur.

I would be keen on them doing a 're-imagined' greatest hits like Take That did in 2018, with re-recordings of their hits.

Is this pointing to them releasing anything new this year? That's assuming I've interpreted it as them taking a break from touring.

I'd like a track by a pop group to make a resurgence.

#12 in sales. It's a shame how much the charts are streaming reliant now.

2006 was 17 years and a few weeks ago.

I get the impression that was specifically a side project; it was a covers album, after all.

I think it might be my favourite ever song of theirs, and one of my favourite vocals from Gary. Certainly not an easy song to sing!

Their previous albums (particularly Circus and Progress) saw a sales boost during their tour, but I think they did a re-release of sorts around then too.

Yes, I believe they're the only group to have a number one as a 5-piece, 4-piece and 3-piece. This Life's chart run so far has been 1-6-9-17-45. In terms of just album sales, it's 1-4-4-5-5.

I don't see how this is somehow worse than the other mad stuff we've had on a Saturday.

Extended version of her X Factor audition:

At least in the case of The X Factor, it wasn't the same artist.

Here's hoping.

It's a question of whether Tony and Sam split the vote. I hope not anyway.

I want Sam but would be happy with Tony. There's the possibility that they end up cancelling each other out but hopefully not.

BIB: I'm no Farage fan but he's not the only person in there and they don't even have political discussions every episode.

There is a new series but yes, no Christmas special. A shame really as I'm sure they could have fit one in but maybe a commitment thing.
