Didn’t realise streams for the top 2 are quite healthy currently, good to see!

Ah class, haven’t watched it yet, will def have a look this week if that’s the case. Their albums out in January!

Well deserved tbf!

Great to see Michael Kiwanuka on 5k sales nearly, after how sick he was nice to see him back in the charts.

The only way the tories win in 2029 is if there’s a financial crash (which their could be).

Ribbon Factory doing well !

Jamie Millar taking advantage of his performance on Strictly this weekend!

I didn’t realise it was so long ago!

Has Hilary released a Christmas album before?

I don’t think Omar gives a shit about anyone tbf but it has been shown that him and Twinks get on ok before Friday. Didbt she give him a massage or something one night which made Rihanna pissed off?

Tbf at least it’s a genuinely popular hit from Taylor, the new song was held up by physicals

Players are a horrible bunch, especially Bruno!

I don’t buy that, their first hit was 12 years prior to that in 1986 and at the same time Cher was one of the biggest hits of the year!

Yeh I think they still do really well in the live scene it just doesn’t translate organically into the chart due to Spotify playlists being world wide or US centric. Blossoms are another example of a huge British band who don’t have singles chart success. When they are huge bands of this era in my eyes. As for Aerosmith I was wondering the same as they’re on the R2 playlist. The chart run would suggest that it was a hit that did well and had chart stability due to the film being huge and not a traditional ‘held back’ release like a lot of pop acts of the time. Here’s the chart run out of interest at a time when this type of run became extinct in the first Q of 1996 (and had been turning to this strategy since the late 80s): 12/09/1998 Aerosmith I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 4 12-14-8-7-{4}-4-5-7-8-9-8-11-14-20-24-27-24-35-45-62->

Of course!

I kinda find this with Ariana Grande, can never spot her voice when I hear it.

A clear winner last week then! Went for Hot Chip this week!

Was gonna say stop claiming our bands 🤣 It’s def sparked new interest in Irish bands though with Gurriers, Basht and Madra Salech all becoming bigger!

I said the same when I saw someone in my village putting their Halloween decor up in the 10th Sept!

Was Cher the last pre R1 artist to be dropped?

Kinda what I thought!

They’d go for Conte who would be like Amorim with balls and then fall out with everyone after a year then an earnest club legend like Johnny Evans would take the caretaker role after leading West Brom as manager to the play off semi finals and free the players and give them joy again qualifying them for the champions league after being installed in Nov, then be given the role full time. Rinse and repeat!

Did Chers post ‘Believe’ era get R1 playlisted or was that a one off huge hit at that point in her career?

Maybe due to RAYE winning the Mercury prize?
