    What would be the point of releasing a dance single on 7" as opposed to 12"?
  2. I wonder if it just a particular week from a particular year or is the format going to be slightly different, given the link to Now. I'll be listening anyway, I was disappointed he didn't get the gig on Pick of the Pops.
  3. It's bonkers that he's never got higher than #89, with the number of great songs he's released. Hope this one makes the top 40 at last.
  4. For goodness sake where the hell is Lizzo on Spotify? Such an obvious smash hit yet it's doing nothing.

    Hilco weren't interested in HMV's long-term prospects. They just wanted to make some quick money. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comment...8m_from_ailing/

    Last time they moved it to a smaller shop though

    The store finder online seems to have been updated. If it's still there it's not one of the 27. The Oxford Street one is gone and closed with immediate effect. https://www.hmv.com/store-finder
  8. I agree but I wasn't responding to you. dandy* said "I don’t know a single person in the UK who would stay up to watch Super Bowl"
  9. It is niche but people do it! There's a couple guys in my office who always book the Monday off so they can watch it
  10. I think John said his song this year is more up-tempo.
  11. Michael Rice is my favourite but I think the Eurofans will finally get their way and we'll send a dance song this year. If she can do it live I'll be happy, though always a worry with dance songs in ESC. But also we've been sending a lot of mid-tempos and ballads and bombing with those too, so I dunno! Hopefully the best one on the night wins through.
  12. That was a rumour from about a year ago which was denied by Apple.
  13. Well in recent years that was the case, but in years gone by it was often an extra show! :)
  14. I like the idea but it'd make the chart a lot easier to rig
  15. I haven't listened to it yet but I think Dev did Chart of the Year Part 1 and Scott Part 2

    I think if they ever did consider bringing it back, Saturday teatime would be the perfect slot.

    2.2 million last night - up 600k on last year's NYE show.

    If they closed all those it'd be hardly worth carrying on at all

    They always have done previously

    He's doing Paradise I'm afraid
  21. If you think Christmas ends on Christmas Day then you're doing it wrong! ;)
  22. The chart is made first and foremost for the music business though, and it's not helpful for new product to be overshadowed by Christmas songs - hence why they changed the rule in the first place.

    2.3m isn't nearly 3m

    Best ratings since 2015. The earlier slot actually seems to be helping it, probably due to weaker competition. Should see it safely back for another year. 2015: 2.83m 2016: 1.92m 2017: 2.0m 2018: 2.3m

    Yeah as much as I don't like it, Shotgun will be one of those songs they still play in 20 or 30 years time. It's a timeless pop song and not enough people are making those anymore.
