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!

I Trance is phenomenal though. I do hope if she’s allowed in a contest again someone can send ‘One Last Time’! What an absolute BEAUT that one is

We want the Nottingham and Bristol (?) dates!! 😢😢

A bop. There’s not a whole lot to it and it feels quite “bare” but it’s still a demo-lite bop.

Nah it’s fair enough. But anyway to who ever sent Agnes…

Ooh just noticed Dannii avoided a veto despite having an AF!

Surprised nobody else tried to enter Carly Rae Jepsen! I tried with ‘Run Away With Me’! Lmao. But I would have changed it anyway as I felt so bad for confirming it. I was toying between my current pick and Asanda - Legends! Which was the song not on streaming that I was talking about. But I wimped out of choosing that lmao. Oops.
