mdh

Gobsmacked that Angela Merkel has given Germany "10 days to get the infection rate down" as opposed to imposing extra restrictions straight away. Has she been completely ignoring the worsening situation in France, Spain and the UK?! Makes me feel better about some of our government's decisions :')

Disappointed in this, feels a bit too polished and over-produced compared to their earlier works which are more unpolished and rough.

31 :)

DJ 4rain’s track has been took down 😞

Will DJ 4Rain get anywhere near the top 40? ;)

I hope "Mood" manages to creep into the top 10.

Ain’t It Different is great. Perfect for the colder months.

“Heather” sounds MASSIVE to me, surely a top 5 incoming?

3/3 wonderful tracks from this era so far. Not quite up to the heights of “My Rajneesh” though that is a career defining track <3

Jesus christ this is bad

I didn’t even know Cardi was back... where has this come from lol

I’m off on a weekend away in South Wales - and it’s remarkable to see the difference in mentality here. In Swansea, I’ve seen THREE people wearing masks full stop and everybody seems to have forgotten about social distancing... (beautiful part of the world, though)

It helps that Fontaines have the 6 Music crowd behind them who are generally keen on purchasing physicals - Glass Animals’ have a younger and more streaming-oriented fanbase by large.

Yeah, on the whole the U.K. are controlling the virus most successfully than most of Europe at this point (consistently lower daily figures than France, Spain, Germany etc. according to Worldometers), so I think that largely all four countries are being sensible enough.

And? All songs gain popularity from somewhere, whether that’s Radio 1 for a pop song, TikTok for a rap song, or Pitchfork for an alternative track. Doesn’t mean any song and it’s popularity has less value as a result of it.

Since when is it a meme song...?

“Head & Heart” is really benefitting from being released at a time when people can actually go for Friday nights out - I imagine it might climb to #1 after tonight. Exciting stuff, it’s his best by far and MNEK deserves all the success he can get. :D

Just realised we’ve already had more number ones this year than we did in the whole of 2019 :o. It has been a very enjoyable year to follow the charts so far.

“My Rajneesh” is miles above “America” (which is also great), absolutely astonishing track.

I spent nearly the whole day/night in pubs yesterday in a town full of drinkers/the kind of people you'd expect to be getting up to this kind of thing, and honestly, I can say with quite a lot of confidence that the vast majority have been observant of the rules and acting safely. Quite sure that any spike in cases we do see will only be small.

Very much excited at the prospect of his first “pop” album, him describing his influences for this record as Janet Jackson and Ariana Grande has got me cautiously optimistic.

I still can’t believe my former BJSC semi final last place act is in the top 5 of the charts :,)

There's an awful lot of dance in the charts these days - I'm loving it :)

I don’t particularly like either so I shan’t call one worse than the other - I wouldn’t trust either.

The battles between Starmer and Johnson are so tiresome to watch. Always mouthing off instead of contributing something valid to the discussion, they're just as bad as each other. :rolleyes:
