gone too soon... Advice is a fantastic tune. OCC should honour it for him

excited to see Ariana's decimation today!

not We Are Young out so early :no: one of my favourites in the whole bunch

YES MABEL TOP 5 !!

A bit late but thought I might as well: 1. Rihanna will return with a giant #1 and an album which will sell poorly at first but have big longevity; the singles era will be cut short (the rest will underperform). 2. Stormzy will have a massive album campaign with his first top 5. 3. Beyoncé will return with solo music and have a few top 20 hits but the album will underperform. 4. Little Mix will struggle with the rest of their current era and will quickly start the next album campaign which will be massive (#1 album, single etc.). 5. Ariana's album will have outstanding streaming numbers and have decent longevity but the album will be heavily negatively received. 6. Miley Cyrus will have a critically acclaimed album but it will underperform. 7. Nicki Minaj's album will be critically panned and the era will be canned quickly. 8. Justin Bieber will return with a DJ collab that will be a slow burner hit; his album will be massive in Q4. 9. Ariana will collab with a male artist which will break streaming records. 10. the Spice Girls will have a flop single (due to streaming) but the album will have big pure sales. 11. Another musical will have big soundtrack success but not to the extent of The Greatest Showman 12. Cardi B will struggle to have another solo hit 13. Drake’s return will be big but muted compared to his past era 14. Adele will return with a completely different sound - massive success but not anywhere close to the past 15. Mabel will reach #1 with a later single and her album will perform moderately 16. Billie Eilish will snuggle for single success after the album release 17. Due Lipa will have a muted year and Ava Max will find success as a featured artist on a song 18. Katy Perry and Lady Gaga will return with pop albums which will be somewhat big with good longevity 19. None of the 1D boys will happen this year 20. Calvin Harris will drop a massive album with high profile collabs (ie. Drake, Ariana, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone etc.) 21. Sam Smith will have a mixed reception this era with slightly disappointing sales

Mabel for top 5 and Little Mix for a second week at top 40!

YES DALTON!!!!!! :yahoo: Ariana's new video has more than definitely sealed her in at #1 for at least the next two weeks

+5 Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next +4 Little Mix - Woman Like Me +3 Kodak Black - ZEZE +2 Dave - Funky Friday +1 Halsey - Without Me -1 Post Malone & Swae Lee - Sunflower -2 Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho -3 Freya Ridings - Lost Without You -4 Jess Glynne - Thursday -5 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow only dislike the last 4 - a good week then!

the video for Ariana's 'thank u, next' is to come out next week which is bound to do giant numbers and possibly give it the streaming push (along with a vertical video on Spotify and better playlist placements) to the Christmas #1

the video for 'thank u, next' is due to be released soon, so we can expect massive streaming numbers from Ariana again soon

well that didn't take long
