I know the 1975 are more pop-rock/alternative pop but around when and more to the point why did capital stop supporting rock, pop-rock, alternative rock music and turn in to more of a rhythmic station (let’s be real) apart from the odd large hit? I’m sure they used to play artists like Kasabian, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, The Killers etc. in the late 2000s

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac edit: never mind

Not a song but Jameela Jamil outstayed her welcome as the host of the chart show.

Lost without you is the next how do I live similar chart run and lyrics both include “without you”

Judging by your past few comments on this you’ve been away for a while haven’t you?

I have a good feeling about 2019 hopefully around 22 number ones and 130 different top tens 15 new entries each week more variety in terms of genre, nationality and age for artists. Baby shark out of the top ten :(

Is ur profile pic Chesney Hawkes?

I know I just cannot believe that in a month and a half or so that 1999, the final year of the 20th century, will be 20 years ago!

The first week will be steps at number one followed by fatboy slim then 911 then after that, the offspring, Armand van helden, blonde, Lenny kravitz.

As much as I would like this to happen, I was exaggerating. If only.

Backstreet boys will easily go top ten with this new single. Hoping it can do a larger than life. Maybe a #4-7 debut.

I really like the garage version from 2000 of freak like me can’t remember the artist.

Can’t wait for 25 years of Essential Mix!! Hope there’s plenty of 90s dance tracks.

Lynden David Halls Sexy Cinderella, ah! British RnB at its best. Dru Hill's how deep is your love is a great american track also and Meja with all about that money a brilliant contemporary pop song cant remember where she was from though.

1 Cher - Believe 167 000 2 George Michael - Outside 116 000 3 U2 - Sweetest Thing 111 000 4 Culture Club - I Just Wanna Be Loved 71 000 5 Alanis Morissette - Thank U 59 000 8 Kele Le Roc - A Little Bit of Lovin 43 000 What a great week and top 5 and no. 8 of new entries! Kele Le Roc's track was a great, slick RnB Track, hugely underrated!

Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Alainis Morissette & Boyz II Men all very successful artists in both the US and UK, although they had big success in the UK too, it was slightly underwhelming compared to the US. But still very successful even in the UK. I am referring to Alanis’ singles btw because of course Jagged Little Pill was massive!

On the subject of girlbands/groups and A1: A1 - Be the First to Believe :w00t: All Saints - Under the Bridge/Lady Marmalade and Bootie Call :cheer:

Wait have I missed something, people are saying that westlife could get a top ten this year, as if, they’ll be lucky to go top 100. They were last a contender for a no. 1 in 2009 I think but stalled at 2 and last had a major top ten hit the following year, and it has been almost a decade since then. I mean look at boyzone, both similar Irish boy bands who do polished and manufactured songs and covers and they’re not getting far at all.

It’s a stupid excuse to translate Barcelona by Max George in to a hit -_-

I’m sorry but nearly everything after post 25 is an absolute mockery of duets. Rappers and DJs do not make duets nor do groups with a single artist. It has to be a Male and female solo.

Feels like the 90s on the album chart: Aphex Twin, Orbital, Eminem, Paul Weller, Jean Michele-Jarr loves it

LeAnn Rimes & Roman Keating Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman Olly Murs & Demi Lovato Leona Lewis & Calum Scott Christina Aguilera & A Great Big World Nate Ruess & P!nk P!nk & Kenny Chesney Emeli Sande & Labrinth

Hopefully simply red can release something, they’d be a sure fire #1 sell more than 150k with ease.

Sorry to hear that. My sister had a stroke recently and was really tough. Hope u get well soon!! Lost of love

To be fair “no promises” also hasn’t been released on cd single yet so it still has a chance to get there
