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.

Is Cian Ducrot & Ella Henderson's Rest of Our Days anywhere to be seen?

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.

Yep, 443k in Christmas week.

First week sales: 168,954 - Beautiful World 144,538 - III 113,211 - Wonderland 105,721 - Odyssey 116,163 - This Life A total of 2,940,045 for Beautiful World as of last week. It had sold 2,932,124 as of May so it has accumulated 7,921 sales since then.

Yeah. That whole conversation has clearly been forgotten by those in there so it's best we let it go too. That's just nasty for the sake of it.

I don't have the same history with TOTP as others but I don't know how often we even get to see live performances from some of the big artists right now, at least on television. That said, if people aren't interested then you can't do much about that. Even if you try and get exclusives or something - like tracks artists haven't performed anywhere else (although that probably isn't a bad idea).
