I’ve genuinely never put two and two together until that 🫠 my innocent mind?! This is still the ultimate Rihanna song for me though it’s never gotten old and I still play it very regularly. I think you could argue We Found Love might be bigger these days but I think was the hit what made her an icon and transformed her career into putting her on the A-List map where she’s remained since. Also… 10 weeks at #1?! On sales only has any other track done this since I know we’ve had many a long running #1 since but I know streaming’s been to thank for a lot of those staying at the top. (As sales are way lower) but I’m curious!

Bumping this!

10 Disease 9 Abracadabra 10 Garden Of Eden 9 Perfect Celebrity 8 Can't Stop the High 10 Vanish Into You 5 Killah (feat. Gesaffelstein) 8 Zombieboy 6 The Dead Dance 7 LoveDrug 9 How Bad Do U Want Me 10 Don't Call Tonight (genuinely will forever root for this being top tier on the album!) 6 Kill For Love 11 Shadow Of A Man 9 The Beast 5 Blade Of Grass 10 Die With A Smile What an album! I could’ve given so many 11s here but at this point I’m happy with what got the 11! Genuinely one of my favourite albums ever ❣️

It’s between Ray of Light and Music for me. Her creative peak was during the 1998-2005 album run for me personally. Like A Prayer is my second favourite album of hers after ROL but it’s tricky seeing how those can be followed up but I feel like the Music era could actually work as the original was futuristic and fresh even by today’s standards. A ROL a follow up if it was anything like the OG would be a dream but that era was her vocal peak and I don’t know how her voice would fare on an album with instrumentals like that in 2026 or in future (but you never know!).

Jessie’s just announced via her X/Twitter that there’s a £4.99 version of the album available with bonus tracks (via her store). Looks like she’s putting a fight in! Would be interesting to see if Skindred also go for it too to make it a bit of a battle. I wouldn’t been where mad at ZAYN doing it he’s the best 1D member after Harry for me.

Rogue choice here but Love Takes Time has always been one of my favourites and it’s UK peak is criminal!

Id like to Jessie Ware get herself a #1 album! Of the contenders I think she’s the most likely to benefit from a push on socials / a pride reduction if it comes to this too. She’s got signings too so I think it could go out in her favour?!

Stupid Love again gets my vote!

Tour begins again tonight in Mexico City (and not long until the EU/UK shows). I need to give the album another full listen at some point but I still return to cry for me, open hearts, take me back to LA and the title track pretty often. I wish Runaway was added to the streaming edition of the album though that was one of my favourite tracks (it is on one of the CDs but not on streaming)!

Michael the biopic premiers this week so we may see boosts for the likes of Thriller, Bad and Off The Wall and whatever hits collection they decide to award streams too (I presume it’ll be The Essential) but there’s also a soundtrack to the album being released too.

Could Jessie Ware perhaps do it if the gays and theys get behind and stream?! She has quite a loyal fanbase depending on how close it is.. although maybe she’ll settle for another top 3 which would still be a success. I need to listen to the Jessie and ZAYN albums!

drivers license and vampire hit me harder way more initially on first listens as lead singles but this is is still pretty decent in its own right. I think it could grow but I prefer a lot of her other tracks to this on first listen. I do appreciate that it is different for her though in terms of production and I do kinda welcome a new #1 too (if this gets there that is…) I definitely am here for the rest of the album though SOUR inpaticular was a very strong album and GUTS had plenty on there that I return too as well so I’m keen to see how the rest of the album fares. I hope the second single is stronger but quite a few recent female albums have had the follow up being bigger than the “lead” (eternal sunshine with we can’t be friends), MAYHEM with Abracadabra as of the top of my head examples).

This and Shadow of a Man are MAYHEMs best tracks. But this is the one what’s so special and I genuinely believe we’d have had a real hit with this had it gotten a push. (There’s still hope for a Cruel Summer esque situation on a smaller scale but I think How Bad Do U Want Me is the one most likely for that) x

Announcement hopefully incoming!!

A great episode last night and very very sad but important viewing. Kim was such a great character that I wish we seen more of her but credit to the actress for agreeing to take this role (I presume now that she was aware she was a short term character specially brought in to die). I hope the next block of episodes isn’t set too far from the last episode that it’s completely just forgotten that’s my only concern but I thought it was such a good episode last night. From the top of my head it’s only the second time we’ve seen a death as a result of an eating disorder on a long running show (Hollyoaks did it way back in 2007 but I can’t think of another character who’s actually died as a result of one until Kim last night). Also really hoping next boxset we see more of Nicole and Jodie. Nicole especially has felt quite underused on this set of 12 eps but I think the spotlight may shift next boxset and characters who were perhaps more in supporting roles will get more screen time.

With repeated listens I do like this! It works as an album intro and i definitely see this opening the tour if we’re lucky enough to get one. It’s catchy enough that it’s sticking in my head BUT i will say that I hope the spoken interlude parts on this track aren’t something what’s on the majority of the album… I do think this is very reminiscent of Future Lovers though especially how Future Lovers sounded as the intro track to Confessions tour! Looking at socials this era seems to have real hype though from people I’ve not seen mention Madonna before so I hope it translates to sales and streams (and also hope it pushes the original Confessions too)

Indeed! I think it’s my favourite Gaga tour and live project to date too. Perfect execution of everything that’s both “Lady” and “Gaga” about her brought together so perfectly! And a story told throughout the show as well. It’s her only show I’ve been lucky enough to see twice and both shows felt so different she was a lot more emotional on stage in NYC for final night (but the crowd were more crazy in Amsterdam maybe a European crowd thing or bc I was VIP there…) that in no way took away from how amazing the final show was though! It was a perfect experience as a super fan and seeing what may be her last live performance in terms of a tour for however long felt like a must! Highlights for me final night was Poker Face, Born This Way, the entire piano section!! The vocals!!,Vanish Into You the emotion of the encore / bow of Always Remember Us This Way and Marry The Night, (Bad Romance as always too!!). To top of my Gaga experience too I mentioned this to Haus but I actually went to Joanne restaurant in NYC and I met Gaga’s real dad!! (He was also at the show) he chatted away for a little while (tea I got from was Edge of Glory is his favourite Gaga song (she also performed this at the final show and he confirmed the whole family attended), hes proud of the Joanne album (I mentioned my favourite albums by her and he responded with that). I also was asking him about collaborators he’s met who’ve worked with Gaga and he said his favourites were Bruno and Tony! (I expected a Tony mention but he was a big fan of Bruno Mars and he dropped into conversation as he’s actually my next concert now!) He didn’t speak much about her actual life my mam was asking him about Michael 🫠 BUT he was very friendly may friendlier than i thought he would be and when we were talking about her music / the tour he was responsive! Only wish i asked for another photo as my mam took a picture of the wall instead of a photo of me and him before she realised who it was I was too scared to ask for another one!

What’s the context behind this vote 😆

Always Remember Us This Way going at this stage would be criminal but this rate is just giving this site doesn’t like Gaga ballads 🤣 I went for Stupid Love again! LoveGame would’ve been my second choice though.

I wonder if the movie will actually do anything for this? I did envisage some TikTok potential for this but without a viral moment I don’t think it’ll have major legs. Still happy it at least went well top 40 though stans did that.

We know Lewis can pretty savvy when it comes to wanting #1s too?! But I think Olivia could stand the best chance of being the next #1 it’s just on if she debuts there (she’s only actually debuted at #1 once before)

Another top 40 secured!! ❣️

I Feel so Free doenst feel like a lead single more like an intro to the album esque track but it’s great. It’s definitely very Future Lovers esque in the production but this is sounding great!! It wouldn’t have actually sounded out of place on the original Confessions album which is no bad thing.

I’m still in New York so a late post for me here! But I did immediately gag and shake slightly when I seen the announcement whilst I was in a NY taxi🤣! I’m very hyped as I would be for any new Madonna era but so excited now it’s all finally confirmed! Confessions is top 3 Madonna for me but I’m so hyped to see how the follow up does and how the sound differs from the OG! Love that the artwork has little nods to 2005 but feeling fresh at the same time?! I think I slightly prefer the standard edition artwork to the deluxe (the font on the deluxe… but love the imagery so far) She’s never done an official follow up of the same theme to a previous album before like… ever right?! But I think if any of her albums was to have that successfully Confessions actually feels like the best pick. Also seeing a LOT of people post re this? Is it just that I follow a lot of Madonna fans and pop based accounts or is there genuine hype here from people who aren’t stans?! I hope it translates to streams / sales (maybe this could get people on board…) would absolutely love another #1 from her (I mean it’s not the most important thing especially for Madonna who in no way needs chart success now to maintain a legacy) but it would be so incredible to see her do it. Yeah, I’m happy and hyped for this. As one queen (Gaga) ends her era her mother begins hers just moments later - cinema x. Also really hope streaming has the non stop mix on there!! And that the album has that as the standard edition it’s sort of what makes the OG so special and the first album I ever listened to what had that non stop feel.

I went to the last show and it was the most emotional I’ve ever seen Gaga on stage. What an experience. Extended post in the coming days but wow what a night! I seen the Requiem teaser in the arena and was immediately gagged but that double bow was super emotional and something else! What an era this has been. ❣️
