What It Sounds Like is so so so so so so sooooo good!! That ending with the strings!!! GORGEOUS!

Mary and CHVRCHES have SMASHED THIS omg! Really intrigued what they’ve left for the finals. I’ve got an inkling I know what CHVRCHES will be. Xtinct’s most overrated song but will win the round I suspect! Interesting round as they are all indeed considered the respective artists most popular/best…

This is receiving it's 20th Anniversary re-issue on Coke Bottle Clear vinyl later this year (anniversary of it's original date release in Sweden & Norway NOT international markets which was 2007!) HMV recordstore.co.uk Rough Trade Turn It Up Records

OMFG! I think I miscounted my entries and f***ed Enrique over truly lmao! Round 1: Bailamos (Qualified) Round 2: Heartbeat (Qualified) Round 3: Tonight (I'm f***in' You) [Qualified] Round 4: Takin' Back Love (Eliminated) Golden Wagner: Rhythm Divine (DNQ) Live Show 1: Not In Love Live Show 2: Tired of Being Sorry (This round) Semi-Final: I Like It Final: Hero & Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song) Meaning I miscounted as I definitely had 'Escape' planned towards the end (would have fallen on Semi-Final) but I miscounted and thought I needed an extra entry for Golden Wagner when I didn't at all & 'Rhythm Divine' used up a VERY VALUABLE slot! OMG!!!!! Had I realised, I think I would have tried 'Not In Love' for Golden Wagner and everything else would have been used a round earlier to have 'Escape' in the Semi-Final! I'm so annoyed at myself lmaoooooo!!! -- In regards to the contest right now, they were my bottom 2 iirc, so not too mad at those results. Backing a The Saturdays or Avril win at this point I think. Xtinct was very lucky that round! Mary truly the underdog of the competition though *.* WE HAVE TO STAN! I'm so mad at myself lmaoooo

Marina, Zara (MS) & JADE (obvz!)

THIS OUTFIT *.*

I don’t think there is a specific order for hmv signing announcements tbh. Sometimes they do months in advanced but then others could be just mere weeks. Really hope they happen!

Nah. I’m not sure it’ll last that long (maybe the odd burst here and there) but I don’t think it’ll be “consistent”. It’ll start off strong, the hype will level out and then ramp up towards the end of the shows etc.. Will they be changing the setlist much? At least with Taylor for example there was discussion about her outfits, conspiracies about TV releases, different surprise songs etc… to keep Tik Tok hype high and interest in her strong. Presumably their albums will get big boosts though.

The advertising for M3GAN was solid I thought. Not as stronng as it could have been but still a fair amount… it’s just… unfortunately this movie looked like a completely different one to what the first was and they went for the silly action-comedy route as opposed to the satirical horror comedy feel of the first. Definitely jumped the shark with that. I haven’t had a chance to see ‘Elio’ yet and I’m gutted because I really want to but the timings are terrible now. There’s so few showings of them already. It’s sad. People constantly moan about sequels and prequels etc… but when they’re not going to see original movies like that… ugh. But it’s Disney’s own fault too… they have not promoted it much at all and I low-key think (and this is probs just the conspiracy theorist in me) Disney have done it on purpose just so they have a reason to say “Pixar titles will now be premiering on Disney+” or something. I’m sure it won’t be long until that’s a thing again. It’s sad.

The comments towards her body have been horrendous. Completely vile.

Need this Oasis takeover to be over as quickly as possible. Heinous.

Also just noticed Tinashe is top 20!! So happy for her and I love that it’s a remix of one of her own songs and not just some random collab. I’m here for NBB getting whatever recognition it can! Can I have What It Sounds Like and How It’s Done as the top 2 KPop Demon Hunters tracks plz and thank you xx

I really hope Graham Norton is planned for her this time! I need all the key Q4 slots! Honestly I’d use the 2nd week of release for those! She ainnt getting number 1 anyway so aiming for a stable 2nd week+ would be far more preferable! Also, they really should get some HMV signings sorted!

BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER It’s not my absolute favourite, but why is Soda Pop such a banger?????

Lets get OCCs attention to it and give her 9 million sales and an eternal number 1!!!!!

01 Mary J. Blige & U2 - One 02 The Saturdays - Disco Love 03 CHVRCHES - Bitter End 04 Avril Lavigne - Don’t Tell Me 05 Pet Shop Boys - Go West 06 Louise - Arms Around the World 07 Lady Gaga feat. Christina Aguilera - Do What U Want 08 A-ha - You Are the One 09 Ellie Goulding - Army Love my top 3. 4-6 are all middle of the pack in their respective discographies (at least for Avril - maybe higher for PSB and Louise). I adore the original (but never listen for obvious reasons anymore) but Xtincts growling is off putting in DWUW. The last two? Flush.

How far away is her bar from those venues? You should go!!!!

I’m seeing more videos/hype for this song since the Glasto performance. I wonder if it can eventually sneak back in the top 200 on Spotify at some point (doubt it but wouldn’t surprise me)

The festival circuit doing what it’s supposed to then!!! However, imagine if the album was actually out now?

What were the size of her venues? Surely her team didn’t do a J Lo and go for much bigger venues than she is worth???? But I’m sad for her. Her first two albums are great pop albums. Maybe she should just stick to being a dance artists vocalist or something?

Omg @Herbs for number 1!!!!!

Loreen’s song is very good. It’s a shame it’s going to do nothing.

Can they just confirm whether this is coming on Friday or not plz and thank you x Edit: wait I totally forgot Friday is in about an hour lmao! I presume not then as it would have been amongst NZ and Australia etc.. releases wouldn’t it?

This is just not letting up for me. It’s SO good!

This is a really fun edition btw. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that no one for a Kelly Clarkson/Leona deep cut or something. If I was to try and enter them I'd probably have done these: Kelly Clarkson - Don't Let Me Stop You (although I feel like that's been sent to a contest already? Maybe When I entered her in AF Idol so perhaps I wouldn't have?) Leona - Naked Alexandra Burke - Between The Sheets Loreen - See You Again That wouldn't have been my first Cher Lloyd choice, but that's a really brave selection to choose for BJ! (Banger though ofc!) So I appreciate that this contest isn't anywhere NEAR as cheap as I assumed it would have been! Great work on the hosting so far too!
