really hope so x Lorde, sounds fantastic on first listen to me I think it's fantastic to have her back with an electronic upbeat song it's the only big newbie out tomorrow so hoping there's interest although the reception in other places, I mean, Popjustice, has been very lukewarm love how Lizzy McAlpine always has songs going viral Spring into Summer is very good, I already saw it going viral in the US last week or the week before

The Gallup Years- Top 10 Sales- 1989
yes finally justice for Sweet child o'mine I was somehow a Jason fan, guess cos of Neighbours, cos I did buy the album but Sealed with a kiss is a bad cover, terribly done, and didn't deserve the #1 spot I also bought Sinitta's debut album :) my fav from hers was Toy Boy this one not so much... can't recall her having a 2nd album, did she manage to release a 2nd album?

For me Lady Gaga kinda ruined Express yourself when she released Born this way cos I really hate that one And was too similar to Express yourself

But nobody is saying Ed is a flop You Ed stans are twisting peoples words Its an underperformance considering who he is Barely 200K daily on Spotify But it is how it is, without tiktok virality The GP doesnt care who you are The old tiktok hits from 6 mo-1 year ago are still doing 50% more than Azizam

Manchild is kinda famous cos it was written by Neneh Cherry with an "auto-chord" keyboard so it's like a piano and when you hit a single note, it automatically generates a chord progression. So she didn't know anything about music but the keyboard made the chords kinda automatically

I read that No one noticed is having a 2nd life on Tiktok, after almost 1 year in the charts it's up to a new peak at #6 today in the US with nearly 1 million. Of course they released a fAntastic brand new comeback single a couple weeks ago that no one noticed :) and now the old one blows up again :) that's tiktok to you :)

the Azizam pattern on Spotify in the last couple double has been so bizarre also crazy that is not top 200 in the US, he should do a Jimin tbh :D

if you can beat him, join him :D the lyrics of Ordinary are certainly as cheesy as if they came from Ed

If it were Ocean Eyes... I could understand, but Lovely? I just went and checked but I find Lovely so unmemorable maybe it's cos it has Khalid, who is not the most exciting act ever

Holidays always have lower streams Same as Sundays Its the same rationale Less commuters, less streams

love Billie and Birds of a feather is a great song but nearly 1 year in the upper Spotify and currently #3 is too much ☠️ will be interesting to see what happens with the Ordinary song and if it can avoid ACR the song is down a lot this week cos of the so many days of holidays, but that means it will easily increase next week as it's a regular tracking week with no holidays

Roxette had great ballads but also many good upbeat numbers I think they got the balance right This week Debbie Gibson peaked at #14 with the great single Electric Youth, title track from her 2nd album De la Soul was also peaking at #22 with the classic Me, Myself & I I noticed Swing Out Sister's comeback didn't set the world on fire and the lead single from album 2 You on My Mind peaked at #28 only, despite being pretty great, love them and their sophisticated jazz pop.

Manchild is all kinds of amazing, what a career start with Buffalo Stance-Manchild for some reason I always thought Neneh Cherry was UK/Swedish the Bobby Brown one is ok too

Really enjoyed the race Piastri is doing it almost too easily Sainz was great, looks like it takes some time for everybody to adjust finally. great race for Ferrari, well Leclerc, Hamilton was mediocre at best

The problem is that on tiktok, people use the same 3 songs for months and months, they don't move on yesterday I took the underground and was surrounded by teenagers scrolling down tiktok with the volume so high, I could hear everything and I heard Gracie Abrams-That's so True like 5 times in 3 minutes and I didn't hear any song from 2025, just old songs
