I think I need a hydration break before the end of this thread!

I always thought this, Dai Dai yes was a World Cup song which was lifted by this promo but it’s still new to the charts, is now elevated on big playlists by its increasing popularity and could continue to rise over the next few weeks and months.

I’m getting these images in my head of what straight pubs look like - full of people enjoying RMI with their hands in the air and discussing how great ‘Ordinary’ is. On a more serious note, I think music is like everything else so divided up in terms of people enjoying it and streaming being used by most people now that this is the way things are. It’s like big moment TV now rarely people watch things in mass events apart from a few exceptions.

How can you tell? Bryan’s and Frankie’s have been around decades whereas RMI is a year old, just because you aren’t a fan doesn’t mean others think the same. I think the guitar part at the start is rather memorable and nostalgic. Again, though, that’s just me.

You were right 23 pages but RMI stays at no1 😬

Don’t think il need to check who the Victor is in the chart battle today, il know when I check how many pages this thread has when I check back later this evening 😂, anymore than the average of 14 pages and Dai Dai will be top!

It’s because people who were born in 2010 have prob never experienced cds and are now 16 so think it’s cool and retro to listen to them, same as with vinyl 15 years ago. Same with the kids who aren’t buying AirPods and want earphones or earphones with wires again.

You really are contradicting yourself now without realising it. You complain that RMI has ‘only’ done well in the UK/Ireland/ARIA and not the US and that it’s top of all the streaming playlists to demean it when in the US charts songs do well because a radio station plays them (and it likely paid by record labels to play them) and that counts towards the chart.

I do think he has taken them as far as he can if they aren’t going to invest in the squad.

You couldn’t make it up but no real surprise. You reackon Trump acrually has any friends or is every done for something else.

Infantino is a poison to the game!

It’s the same on Apple, prob just a result of it being the biggest gainer on playlists over the past few weeks as it establishes itself in the top 20 of the official chart.

Yeh ultimately it was the right decision!

I think you answered your own question with the last paragraph there. They have a 166 majority currently if Burnham was returned with a Lib Dem coalition he would be toast. 3 years is along time in politics so who knows what events will do to affect things. Re the Tories, I think Badenoch is more popular than her party currently due to her good performance at Westminster, the party is still in the doldrums in the polls. Unfort the English public have short memories and their friends in the right wing press will ensure the idiots forget all about the disaster in the last Tory government as they say Labour ‘have spent too much £££ and we are broke’ vote Tory. It’s all very predictable and I’m only in my 40s.

I would argue that the album after the commercial peak would be the one to have extra fans and sales due to its predecessors success but suppose that’s not always the case.

I was gonna ask Hadji what was the reaction when ‘Ordinary’ was played 🤣

B-Complex is the only artist that springs to mind but think he has only charted in the dance or indie chart not officially.

Someone update Jack of the achievement lol

Funnily enough these are the 3 things that jumped out at me from the playlist as well. Felt Dina Carroll had her peak years 1991-94. Also felt the same about the PSBs and Steps. Suppose PSB are similar to Whitney in terms of longevity - both started being playlisted in late 1985 and Whitney was on the A List (with one of her biggest comebacks).

Thanks for running this @Mack. , always good fun!

Sad indeed - as Coleman used to always say in commentary in the 70s “Toschak, Keegan 1-0!!!

A terrible storyline but when you have great actors of the calibre of Johnston and Morgan it thoroughly makes up for it.
