Do they still do those cringeworthy performances on the Andrew Marr show? Used to enjoy Marr and politicians awkwardly bopping along.

Best start removing all the other "offensive stereotypes" now. Lisa and Maggie 2 handers every week from now on.

A Madonna song actually being performed on X Factor? Is this a first?

Ellie's latest sounds like it was crafted especially for Spotify success too so it's current floppage must Burn (Burn, Burn, Burn). Hopefully she has far better up her sleeve.

I guess Breathin hit ACR already. Shallow best number 1 in...a very long time.

I think the problem is that there is also a Dialogue version of the Star is Born Soundtrack where other members of the cast do some talking in between songs, which is why it is credited as a "cast album".

They might be able to get This Is Me off ACR anyway- an X Factor performance might be considered "active promo"

The Greatest Showman will return to number 1 again after people start buying it for XMas presents.

Considering how well her debut sold, I'm surprised at the apparent lack of investment from the label in her- even flogging one of her better songs to Simon Cowell for a quick buck.

Will probably be Nano vs random attractive young guy singing a pop song with slick show with the latter winning. The rest of the finalists will be more random attractive young guys singing pop songs, an old dude with a joke entry and Wiktoria- the only woman the app voters don't hate with a passion.

Apparently she is going on tour with Rudimental.

Knowing Syco, Little Mix will probably be dropped by the end of the week.

Rummaging through Jess Glynne's bin for songs she discarded may not have been the best idea for a comeback song for Little Mix after all.

But...who is going to be doing Never Enough (Reprise) :thinking:

Hannah Waddingham? Chart smash for Game of Thrones' Septa Unella!

Once I've started watching a series i usually feel obligated to finish it. For that reason, I have banned myself from starting to watch anything with 22+ episodes a year- too much of a commitment!

Is this the Syco effect?

There was a time when the only song I liked from 2001 was the Slovenian entry. The songs from Denmark, Greece, Sweden and France have since grown on me. I think 2000 remains my least favourite year represented in this countdown- don't think I revisit any of the songs from it.

The charts to become even less interesting to those who don't like Urban music then. Who knew that was still possible?

Music? Yes Don't care about the charts anymore. 90% of the time practically the entire the top 10 seems to consist of 10 male urban acts/ rappers. No variety and all very predictable.

Baffling that Firelight song came 6th with juries. I know they love Malta but sheesh...they usually hate the folksy stuff.

I have fond memories of Don't Stop Movin'. Was top 10 when I first started listening to the charts and the 2nd song I ever bought! Haven't listened to it in years though.

Poor Caith Sith from FF7. I think I'm the only person who doesn't hate him with a passion

"Chart Killers"- Ed Sheeran and Drake teaming up. Not even ACR or Jess Glynne could stop that being number 1 for at least 6 months.

Can't believe the top 100 still isn't up yet!
