It was 17.71m with the ITV HD simulcast included. :)

We know Adele can go 5-6 years between albums and still retain a fanbase, but she's Adele. She's probably not the noisiest when it comes to social media either. It seems to be fairly common to go 2-3 years between albums for a lot of artists, though for some it can be longer. Is it a case of keeping touring in that period? Or does even that not prevent the case of the "difficult second album"?

I was going to start a new thread but I guess this is a continuation of the original topic - where do you think there have been huge missed opportunities? Just in terms of songs, performance opportunities etc. Apparently Leona Lewis was offered songs (or her record label was) such as Rihanna's "We Found Love" which were turned down, but I don't know how true that is.

This is... interesting: https://metro.co.uk/2024/07/17/westlife-rel...ng-ai-21242709/ And scary.

They haven't plucked that out of thin air.

Ah well, England tried.

That was so unlucky.

There's no way England are getting another one in, surely.

They need to keep the momentum now.

Pickford is going to blow up if they don't get their act together.

With Odyssey the new versions weren't meant to replace the originals, and most of them were remasters that you may (or may not) notice. I did like the new version of Pray though, and the Never Forget bit at the beginning of Greatest Day.

The disaster bit was an exaggeration but yeah.

Yep. And if we don't win it'd be the most disastrous thing to ever happen, ignoring the fact we got to the final. Whatever you think of England's performance, that doesn't happen by accident.

Scary stuff. I haven't been following US politics much but I can't believe their best choice of president is between two very old men.

I don't know how it did in the US but You Are The Reason has accumulated over a million chart sales in the UK despite charting just outside the top 40 (#42). That was his last solo chart hit here though, Biblical didn't make the chart at all (sadly).

Starlight by Westlife. I wish it did better than it did.

First time they've made the final of the Euros during a Labour leadership ever.

It's all over!

Very unlucky.

I hope that's given them some confidence to hopefully score without needing a penalty.

Charted in the top 10, but her album only just made it into the top 100.

I genuinely didn't know he was, it was the first time I've noticed him.

He's 16?!?!

Is he ever happy with anything Labour do?

Yeah, I remain somewhat optimistic. I don't expect them to be perfect, but as long as they aren't playing games with people's lives like their predecessors, it's a win in my book. I know the bar has been lowered quite a bit... I know we can't see changes instantly, much as I wish we could!
