I have yet to hear the album but I do think Jessie Ware deserves to have a #1 by now. She's released some really good music over the years and never managed to get as big as she deserved to.

Well there's one song I like, one song I don't mind and one song that I've never liked so the ordering was made very easy for me this time!

I have now listened…. I think I like it? It’s very I Feel Love vibes and I can see it working very well as the album opener, I’m also glad that she hasn’t lost the more experimental side of her last album completely as I enjoyed that and think I can see it still here in the structure. I’m excited for the album but also quite nervous as following up Confessions is such a huge ask and I worry she’ll get panned if she doesn’t have a Hung Up or Sorry style banger on it

Everyday value contest in the Republic (But seriously, low budget contests are just as fun so totally agree with the sentiment)

I can’t argue otherwise tbh!

For Tomorrow is a good track from Blur. The follow up single, Chemical World, was the first I bought of theirs and then ended up getting the album too

I haven’t listened yet ooops… I will sneak a play in at some point and revert ASAP!

Regret <3 The song that really got me in to New Order

To be fair, I definitely think it’s more likely that I’ll DNQ soon than you Rob!

Love the confidence Cody!! Now that I’ve read that we’re close, I’m hoping somehow we could sneak a month at the top of the rolling 12 month chart - probably not this month though as those pesky Nelionoirians have sent something more competitive I feel. Nice to have re-peaked at second (I assume?) anyway ☺️

I absolutely love that Sub Sub track, it’s aged really well compared to a lot of other hits from this period

Your mum will need to put FLJ in a 60 degree wash to shrink it. We are clearly hand wash only.

Hope that y’all put Askorza through - I really think hosts should AQ for the required effort! (But not at FLJ expense, naturally!)

Kiss You Off is a great choice, it’s always been one of my favourites from the Scissors… hope it somehow manages to see them through ✂️

Thank you Brer, you are a shiny star of the brightest variety <3

OMG I can’t believe Brer would ignore a brave little toaster. The trauma may mean he never toasts again. (This post may or may not be influenced by me thinking there’s a chance FLJ are top for the first time ever)

Wow I don’t recall Betty Who being submitted at all!!

I guess it depends on what version you’re actually listening to?

The picture disc can get in the bin. Not sure on the others as yet but they are at least better than imagining madge has a 90s speaker down there

The size of Fljótavík these days! 😮 🧀 (the nearest I can get to cheese block on my phone whilst drinking cocktails)

I’m excited too! I wonder what year it will be revealed in? 😂

I am quite convinced that the count of people who committed domestic abuse because they heard a Prodigy track stands at about zero!

I absolutely LOVE Too Young To Die, it’s such a good record from Jamiroquai <3

Have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the ABBA choice - I much prefer it to most of their main hits. cue ABBA exit

Popfactorism: your mum enters an all time classic by David Bowie, she’s knocked out by an Atomic Kitten b-side 🤭
