ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Impressed how thoroughly she's captured the early-2010s popstar with this album, right down to every track outside of the singles being a boot

Dobago didn’t flop, they were robbed

If they finish top 5 then they have to change their name to ALTHub

You in 2033

Why does it matter? If they contributed one word, or a synth line, why shouldn't they be credited? Those credits are mostly producers and a Madonna sample, and songwriting credits in dance music tend to go towards producers who build the track, not just the lyricists.

So we're all convinced Ane Brun is going to landslide? Outside of the obvious choices, Persephonia and Cor Lupus especially, are there any other potential spoilers? I can't shake the feeling that POPHub are coming to slay, Blitzkrieg has all of the ingredients to smash

Did we all manage to get tickets girlies?

The song is bonkers and sounds like a random Madonna 00s club remix You know what they say, not enough music videos feature big budget rimming

Need to see her again asap 🥹

I would say part of it is just exposure. Israel has an enormous, well-organised media apparatus in the West. Sudan doesn't. History is obviously involved too. Israel has been a close Western ally for decades, with a 'liberal democracy' framing that doesn't extend to Sudan. And honestly, the West has mostly been culturally taught to care about people they see themselves in Hopefully things are changing though, this Ed story wouldn't have blown up like this a year or two ago

Hateful and stupid go hand in hand x

I am obsessed with Lucky and how much it sounds like it should be the theme song to a Charmed reboot

I really don't put much stock in a problematic multi-billionaire, who has donated millions to the Israeli lobby, lecturing anyone on hate speech, especially when his own stadium hosted Kanye West just months ago. "Building bridges" through a vague "humanitarian crisis" and claiming he's "brought young Palestinians and Israelis together" means nothing while an actual genocide is ongoing. More PR slop for capitulating to pressure, dressed up in language vague enough to avoid saying so. Anyway, the unfortunate timing of this contest has absolutely floored me. I had to check it wasn't The Onion when I saw the date of the deadline.

Well done @jimwatts and thanks to @uhsting for being a babe 🖤 Ha, this is my last Nuggets. It's not that Boyish flopped, I just really struggled to find songs I liked enough to vote for, and forcing myself to listen to every track multiple times was an absolute chore. Maybe the guitar life just isn't for me 🥹

So hyped

Listening now and I don’t know how I’m going to cut these down without losing some gems 🖤 Saying that, it might be the first month in forever where my own entry remains my favourite

I don’t think I will ever find peace again

I don't think a grown man worth hundreds of millions of pounds needs any sympathy. I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for him x The idea that Ed Sheeran was helpless, boxed in by contracts, protecting his crew, doesn't survive contact with his touring power or bank balance. If concern for staff was really the driver, he had the money to remove that concern entirely and still take a stand. He chose not to. 'He's apolitical' doesn't hold either. I don't buy that staying neutral exists anymore in 2026, silence gets read as a position whether you like it or not. Ed isn't even silent by default anyway, he fundraised for Ukraine. He's perfectly capable of picking a side. He just wasn't willing to pick this one, because standing against a genocide came with a cost to the capital and relationships he'd rather protect than risk. Compare that to his own openers and band, all of them earning a fraction of what he does, with none of his cushion. It cost them actual money and a platform to pull out and stand for something they believe in. Ed risked neither. Whatever happens to the tour, be realistic, he won't face any real consequences. A few weeks of bad headlines from siding with a man like Kraft (who you really shouldn't look into by the way) and then back to business 😕 Sadly relate to this. Róisín was one of my favourite artists ever, and the timing made it worse, she was about to release her best album in years! Her music was always experimental, inclusive, rooted in queer culture, so it stung even more when she showed that wasn't really her. Some things matter more than getting to enjoy a new album though, so I haven't listened to her since x

They are all making me HOWL

Me forcing myself to listen to these songs for the third time

Who knew we had a Pink forum Happy to bash her too x

Ed has made a statement It says everything you need to know about him within the first line Embarrassing x
