mdh

"Sweet But Psycho" would be the best Christmas #1 for yeeeeaaarrrrs.

On second listen, this isn't even that bad? I've heard so many worse songs than it this year so it's baffling to see it get so much hate tbh

Going to do a top 20 albums, a top 100 songs, a top 10 worst songs, but first, here's my top 20 CHART HITS of the year... 1. The Chainsmokers "Sick Boy" 2. Billie Eilish "when the party's over" 3.

Au/Ra & CamelPhat "Panic Room" 18. The 1975 "Love It If We Made It" 19. Halsey "Without Me" 20. Jonas Blue "Rise" (feat. Jack & Jack)

Still better than the Weezer version :lol: Would like this to become a hit, Pitbull deserves it. It's shit tho.

I was expecting it to stay top 10!

That list is basically spot on, amazing to see Slade, Shaky and Wizzard right near the top where they belong!

"Sleep" is amazing too - second only to "Storm" from that album for me. The monologue at the start gave me the impression Coney Island was an absolute shithole but it turns out it's actually quite nice even today :lol: Godspeed do a great job at making you think everything in the world is miserable lol.

It sounds incredible! Surely it's a real song :o

1. Young Fathers "Cocoa Sugar" 2. IDLES "Joy as an Act of Resistance" 3. Tunng "Songs You Make at Night" 4. Let's Eat Grandma "I'm All Ears" 5. Parquet Courts "Wide Awaaaaake!"

Where's "High Five"? :(

Wouldn't it be awkward if the last #1 of the year is Beyoncé or Rihanna or something :lol: (hoping it's Ava Max or Mark Ronson because I'm sure they'd be up to perform)

Yeah, however "Baby" isn't much less generic.

That is true, but I'd say overall Julia's vocals are more suited to radio and the average music consumer so that's probably a contributing factor to why "Baby" is doing so much worse than "I Miss You" so far.

"I Miss You" had a more defined song structure and a fair bit more in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, also I'd say its 'drop' was more substantial and catchy that "Baby"'s is. On top of that I'd argue Julia's vocals have a much smoother and more palatable sound than Marina's.

The track with Halsey was good, but the rest of his releases so far have been horribly dull.

I doubt it'd do all that much, imo the track is too nothingy to become a big hit.

Even Brendon's part is crap, what was the need for all that autotune on his voice? Those lyrics are some of the worst I've seen all year.

!!! nailed it

There was me hoping for something at least remotely indie but it seems as though they've completely lost their sound already :unsure:

Didn't he say he thought TOOTIME was going to be their biggest hit yet :P Solid sales for Dalton and The 1975 so far... good to see.

I saw James Arthur last year with Ella Henderson and he was very humble and polite to the crowd, puts on a brilliant show live too. For all he's done in the past he seems like a genuinely lovely guy nowadays.

I'd say the conversation has overall been pretty civilised though? Definitely wouldn't call it aggressive.

Dalton's on Spotify.

You've edited your original post now, but your previous statement that Fairytale Of New York "shouldn't be a thing" altogether is definitely an over exaggeration.
