Ohh so not close at all then! Maybe she was ahead in Wednesdays mids then and that's the one cd:UK run with? Or is this a mandela effect and I'm completely mis-remembering the cd:UK part? LMAO!

Voted. Struggled tbh. But managed to get some votes together that I'm happy with.

Wasn't this RIDICULOUSLY close to being an official number 1? I swear that she was number 1 on cd:UK but by the time Sunday came about BEP's had got back in front? Did cd:UK go by Wednesdays mids or was it quite accurate for the time? Show Me Your Colours is their best album track (a Rachel lead). That really should have been a single. -- ADORE Avril and like 'Complicated' but I definitely prefer more by her!

Ballad of the Decade 'Lighthouse' then? But when will someone use 'Already Gone'? The options. The choices. Kelly's mentor has their work cut out for them!

Ballad week! I am struggling to choose! I need help but I can't ASK for help!!!

My final answers are: The Corrs - @Bror Nelly Furtado - @Scene

I wonder if 'Big Hoops' would have fared better in the "Flop" round and it may have been a wiser choice to have sent 'Promiscuous' now or something?

Nelly had more to offer going forward, for me. Kinda sad she's gone </3

KELLYYYYY YAAASSSS!

COME ON KELLY! </3

I wonder if Gooddel Delta's mentor has been scared away from using 'Born To Try'?? UNDESERVEDLY SO TOO! BOO YOU POP PRINCESS RATE VOTERS!!!!

Yay for both of those! My number 3 & number 4 in the votes being announced together!! I really enjoyed revisiting 'Bloom'. It's one I think gets forgotten about by people and I don't understand why tbh! Still hope to see 'One Of Your Girls' in this competition after all! As I said in my votes, the song that 'Be With You' was the double A Side with is just as strong, if not STRONGER for the Kittens so I really hope we get to see 'The Last Goodbye' (maybe the ballad pick??)!

Yay for Chappell. Not as enthused about David but he wasn't bottom 2 for me, so I guess it's a win??

I think we could be in for a shock tbh. I think Kelly could be in trouble & also The Corrs or Scissor Sisters. Troye could be in danger too.

STOP THE COUNT (etc..)

I think those of us in the top 15 will be the judge of that when we see the results!!!!

I’m loving this album. It’s soooo good.

Maybe both? (AND WE STAND WITH HIM!!!)

— Very nervous about tomorrow but gonna remain optimistic!

This is my favourite Katy song so I am absolutely here for it getting a proper 2nd wind! I hear various versions of it on Tik Tok (slowed down male covers etc..) but I need more people to appreciate it’s beauty in original form.

As someone who isn’t really a “fan” and takes her on a song by song basis, I can’t say this album has won me over (despite liking the singles more than I did for her first album) but I do appreciate what she was/is going for. ‘Life Boat.’ though… incredible. I really like ‘Joy.’ too. ‘Click Clack Symphony.’, ‘Nightingale Lane.’, Life Boat.’ & ‘Joy.’ are my firm favourites.

Listening to it now and I've not "loved" anything pre-release but enjoyed everything (bar the title track) to some degree. As an album it's better than I was thinking it would be. 'Really Real', 'Talk To Me' & 'Into The Sun' are my favourites. As an album it's a bit *too* cohesive in that I think the longer it went on, the more everything was blending into one. However, I do think the beauty of it will be that the tracks will stand up far better individually and away from the album (does that make sense?). I agree with RobBot in that there is a solid album in here, but I as a whole, I'm not sure I will be going back to it much, but I will be getting my life from the tracks sprinkled throughout my 2026 playlist.

I hard disagree and it's 3 out of 3 of Swedish Pop Starlets giving us great albums in just 6 months (I haven't heard Robyn yet but from what I hear from people it's 4 out of 4?)! 'Weapons' is SOOOO good but I think 'Set Me Free' is my favourite (non-'Tattoo'/'Feels Like Heaven') & the strings on 'True Love'... GORGEOUS! I do agree about 'Is It Love?' feeling misplaced though. I'm not sure that should have been on the album at all and stayed as a standalone tbh.

I've not stopped thinking about this film. It's just everything that I want in a space adventure movie. I've already seen it twice with another 2 trips lined up (one on Saturday with a friend of mine who is also a huge Gosling fan - so we try and see all of his films together) and earlier today, I secured my BFI IMAX ticket in London for April 14th! I really can't wait to see it in IMAX!

01. Chappell Roan - Red Wine Supernova [FAVOURITE!] 02. Kelly Clarkson - Never Again 03. Atomic Kitten - Be With You 04. Troye Sivan - Bloom 05. Delta Goodrem - Believe Again 06. Conan Gray - Maniac 07. ABBA - Super Trouper 08. Nelly Furtado - Big Hoops (Bigger the Better) 09. ROSALÍA - PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ - Cap.3: Celos 10. HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind 11. David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes 12. The Corrs - Irresistible 13. Lily Allen - Madeline 14. Florence + the Machine - Hurricane Drunk 15. Scissor Sisters - She’s My Man 'Red Wine Supernova' is incredible. Pop perfection. 'Never Again' is an underrated and under appreciated Kelly song, imo. Always has been! An absolute BANGER of a song from Atomic Kitten... the song that this was a double A side with is even BETTER! I actually forgot just how much I enjoy 'Bloom'! Lovely to have revisited that. A great song from Delta and I have indeed heard that Conan Gray song before, but it's a BOP! 'Super Trouper' is fun. This Nelly song is fun and underrated. Also bops from both ROSALÍA and HAIM but not my faves by either of them. I can take or leave David Bowie's song tbh. I've forgotten how that The Corrs song goes tbh. I think 'Madeline' is overrated and bottom 3 on Lily's most recent album for me... oops! </3 Never been a Florence fan as her voice generally goes through me, I do appreciate some songs though but this isn't for me and that Scissor Sisters track is really annoying and repetitive.
