TASPOM was at 43 on yesterday’s chart update. Hopefully her first top 40 hit is coming!

Insanity! It would be their first Diamond certification. 😭

Years & Years!

A video of JADE’s Glasto performance of AOMD is going viral on TikTok. It’s on Radio 1’s account: 5.6 million views and nearly 300k likes!

Coming for that Diamond.

Oh do spill. ☕️👀

Tbf I think they’re good friends but I get what you mean about Capital presenters. It’s a great watch fwiw. OT I’m manifesting for some big US promo. Her management are evidently fantastic at securing her major gigs so they need to push for iHeart Music Festival lol.

Surprised that hasn’t been covered already!

Loving the wide range of talent shows represented!

Sugababes

EOTS

Mariah just because she probably will appear in another of these.

Semi finals already looming!! 🫢 Some great selections this round and one slightly wtf choice (a bop nonetheless). It’ll be interesting to see how the songs I don’t know compare. Also loving the swift turnaround of judges. Very X Factor 2010s. 🥲

Not sure where it was pre-Glasto but it’s currently at 21 on the HMV pre-order chart.

Yeah without Megan, Casa is looking a bit pointless with just one solid couple in play and they're not even that solid. Oh well, still looking forward to Casa week kicking off tonight! Praying for one of the newbie girls to put Ben in his place.
