The last month!

The coins thing is pretty cool, hopefully I could justify owning something from the collection.

01 Atomic Kitten - The Tide is High 02 A1 - Same Old Brand New You 03 The Corrs - Breathless 04 Blondie - Maria 05 The 1975 - It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You) 06 ABBA - As Good As New 07 Girlicious - Like Me 08 Erasure - Drama! 09 Scissor Sisters - I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ 10 Florence + the Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) 11 HAIM - Forever 12 Ace of Base - All That She Wants 13 The Chicks - Goodbye Earl Enjoyed listening to all the groups!

It's nice to see Troye Sivan - Something to Give Each Other go Silver. His second album Bloom still hasn't managed that, despite being released 5 years prior to Something to Give Each Other!

01 Troye Sivan - Got Me Started 02 Conan Gray - Actor 03 Shawn Mendes - Teach Me How to Love 04 George Michael - Faith 05 Nik Kershaw - The Riddle 06 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights 07 Ruel & DMA’S - What a Life 08 Guitarricadelafuente - BABIECA! 09 David Bowie - Life on Mars? 10 Eric Saade - Made of Pop 11 Markus Riva - You Make Me So Crazy 12 Fred again.. & The Blessed Madonna - Marea (we’ve lost dancing) 13 Luke Black - VOMIT I had a good time listening to these! That top 3... the twink trifecta x I honestly can't recall ever having heard The Riddle before, but that's a great discovery for me. I should really brush up on my 80s hits.

01 Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! 02 Delta Goodrem - Innocent Eyes 03 Nelly Furtado - I’m Like a Bird 04 Cher Lloyd - Sirens 05 Michelle Branch - Everywhere 06 Toni Braxton - You Mean the World to Me 07 Lily Allen - URL Badman 08 ROSALÍA - MALAMENTE (Cap.1: Augurio) 09 FKA twigs - ride the dragon 10 Nadia Oh - Hot Like Wow 11 LiSA - QUEEN 12 Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away 13 Kesha - Praying My favourite "new" discovery is Toni Braxton's song *.* Undoubtedly there'll be upcoming Kelly Clarkson and Kesha song entries I like a lot more, and I'm ready for them!

I haven't got around to hearing the album yet, but I couldn't resist ordering a CD and Signed Art Card, so he has my sale regardless of my potential enjoyment

I was surprised to see them at #72 considering its lack of presence in the various streaming platform charts. During the midweeks I assumed it was strongly down to physical sales, but evidently not considering it's just #14 in the physical chart, so its sales are majority thanks to streaming. I suppose it could have been lingering consistently just underneath the Top 200 on Spotify/Apple Music etc charts, and with the state of ACR/SCR in the OCC chart clearing up space, then that's how it results in #72. Well done to them for charting, it's a reasonable start that can be built on.

Ooh it's about time! This really took a long time to get there.

I have a feeling there'll be plenty of copies left for online sales day

Argh I missed the vinyl single. Come back!

Ooh! Somehow I forgot that the original was 2LP, so it figures that this one is too. Flipping the record 3 times during a continuous mix seems less than ideal, compared to just once, but I suppose it gives the songs space to breathe and it should be excellent quality while it plays.

Exciting! I wonder how it'll deal with the switch over from Side A to Side B?

That’s such a lovely moment

Will be interesting to see if XMAS climbs higher in the physical singles chart and vinyl singles chart on Friday, thanks to the decreasing prices. Chart runs so far: Physical: 1 1 6 12 21 26 16... Vinyl: 1 2 12 16 32 36 24...

I need this A very unexpected release! I played the leak so often, it really is a gem. Love that it's become a single of sorts.

This all makes a lot of sense! Regarding cover versions, interesting that lightning didn't strike twice for Kylie in 1992, with Celebration only making it to #20.

Your quote preserving my shady doubts about a second pressing, before I edited it out of my post

There'll be 2500 copies available. That feels like a rather ambitious amount! Also it's defined as a "RSD First" release.

Screaming! In horror!! Praying it's not true and just a joke, but how random if so - and we of course have past precedent with how Reason was handled. Oh Lordy!

I was born when I Should Be So Lucky went to #1, and somehow I didn't discover Kylie until Spinning Around (at which point I was 12)! That is to say, all of her 80s/90s hits, I didn't experience them in real time. It surprises me that Give Me Just a Little More Time returned her to the Top 2. What made that one connect in particular? Did the song just seem to make sense in 1992, was the promotion good, did it get better airplay? Did being a cover version help? Also, quite interesting that it managed to do as well as it did as a post-album release. Not that the album did very well so maybe it didn't matter that it was already on the album. But yeah, it just strikes me as curious that it did as well as it did but maybe I'm lacking some context.

7th March is the date that BuzzJack opened in 2006, so that's the reasoning behind the date chosen! I don't think Friday would be the best day due to all the new releases climbing the iTunes chart, and it's likely one of the highest selling days of the iTunes week, so it would make it harder for Whole Lotta History to make a splash.

A deep cut for ABBA! This will be educational for me. A1 beginning with that banger.

Troye getting us started with Got Me Started Great choice!
