Bjork

At this point I guess Jason was even more popular than Kylie? Debuting top 3 with a post-album single is no easy feat I thought the Jason single was ok, nothing crazy good but ok. One very frustrating thing for me is that I bought Jason's album, mostly cos I loved Especially for you, but then the EU edition of the album didn't have it, I guess for legal reasons or something, so my album doesn't have it :/

OK Computer is such a masterpiece Let Down is an 11/10 of a song but still probably not on my top 5 from that album for me, 1 No surprises 2 Karma police 3 Climbing up the walls 4 Paranoid android 5 Lucky 6 Let down

Oh wow, that’s so random—it’s not even a single, just an album track. But it’s nice to see TikTokers appreciating something other than Creep for once.

That Ely Oaks newbie straight at #81 on a Sunday is kinda suspicious, only down a few places today

Oh thats very random for Let Down but very welcomed <3 a lost classic is it tiktok? I see Undressed at #3, a new peak? The othr Sombr song is at #6

#36 debut in the US

agree, very frustrating, especially against Ruud, who is mediocre at best and who has been losing against anyone in recent times

Love it! and glad it's another (mini) hit for her

just an example of the diminished power of HH to make hits nowadays... they have Bluest Flame as track #2 on HH and the song is at... #170 on Spotify...

At the rate he's going he's gonna release half the album as pre-album singles by the time it comes out everybody's gonna scream "Stop" or "Eject" rather than "Play" hahaha :D lol people comparing Ed to Elton. If Elton released a brand new solo single this Friday, it would be track #27 on NMF, would not be added to any playlist whatsoever and wouldn't make the Spotify top 200 for all the money in the world.

For me, kinda the opposite, never liked The Seeds of Love, too AOR, they totally lost the vitality they had in the first 2 albums this sounds like a bad Beatles pastiche to me

Old Phone down to #175 on day 3! Unbelievable!

^But it's not a promo single. it's a proper single, added to R1. Huge push on streaming too. But it's not paying off, down to #175 on day 3 on Spotify.

oh I loved Betty Boo! Does she count as dance? (Then I liked dance after all)

true, looking at the singles I own from the late 80s, the most dance I have is probably Mel & Kim

We'll see I guess. I think it's more of a bizarre view thinking he will replace himself at #1 but alas

You're right I guess, maybe it's cos I fail to see his appeal what I don't get in 2025 is why no songs are exploding in streams... only Alex is capable of >500K, the rest are barely doing 300K max. Old Phone on day 2 didn't even do 100K. Even Alex at #1 is doing over 500K but just so. That's so True was doing much better figures.

I think he has more chances of missing the top 100 than dethroning himself, that's what tiktok artists re in 2025 can Harry Styles already hurry up and comeback, think he's the only one who can stop the crappy ordinary song

Ferrari was also very lucky, they ended up higher than they deserved to be honest

I guess you needto be older to really enjoy dance music cosI never got into Black Box, Technotronic etc as a kid Was into pop, indie, rock, even new-age like Enya, but dance I never got it as a kid, dont think i ever bought a dance album until Prodigy

But why the thread title is about bribing reviewers lol If it werre so easy, Ed Sheeran wouldnt get a 2 on Pitchfork for every album Or even worse, his last album wasn’t even reviewed. If there was a chance of bribing at least he’d get the album reviewed

Lawson deserved far more than a 5 sec penalty. He's a proper danger. My least fav driver in the grid for sure.

also great indie underground artist fav is The Tallest Man on Earth, the Swedish Bob Dylan ;)

^You didn't notice, this forum has now become the Ed Sheeran fanclub page no one can say anything negative about Ed 177K is another underperfomance from Ed, but at least this time we were all prepared and not expecting much so no surprises

Is she no longer with Atlantic? cos I see on Spotify it says: High Roads Records guess this is Kelly's own, so no huge budget for anything, not even for shopping around for songs
