Adore Into the Groove!! So happy to see this back!

About damn time!

Me too! I thought we were starting a tradition last month... evidently not. I hope I can get my first consecutive top 10 finish tonight!

I would love for JADE to work with Dan Nigro for this next album. His work with Chappell is flawless!

B2B is great but probably the right position imo.

01 ABBA - Take a Chance on Me this is just pop perfection from start to finish! Phenomenal choice Captain ABBA! 02 Scissor Sisters - Let’s Have a Kiki the cvntiness, the camp, the beat... LOVE this! 03 HAIM - Want You Back whoever is behind HAIM is doing a stellar job so far! Another strong choice from HAIM. One of my faves from them. 04 The Corrs - Summer Sunshine this is going straight on my summer playlist! Great discovery. 05 Blondie - Sunday Girl always really enjoyed this. 06 Florence + the Machine - My Love great discovery from Florence. 07 Erasure - Chorus fab production on this! Aptly the chorus is my favourite part. 08 The Chicks - Julianna Calm Down another solid discovery from the Chicks. 09 Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame I do like this - it was actually the song that got me into them back in '01 - but difficult to compete with the others this round!

Noted. Yeah I can imagine it can be quite disheartening, especially if you already feel like you're going to be eliminated.

I don't know about this year tbh... maybe it would be too early? Not that I'll complain. It's going to be a real challenge topping the TSB era but she's clearly bursting with new ideas and lives and breathes pop so I think we're in for a treat.

SIAK original >>>>>>>>>> Ari remix sorry! Aww I've grown to really love the CP remix of EIR. Maybe a fair placing for it though.

Once the tour wraps up in a couple of weeks, JADE will be going straight back into the studio to begin work on her next album!!! Amazing news as I'm always thirsty for new JADE music and glad she's moving swiftly on considering the era started almost two years ago. I'm really excited to see what she'll bring for this album - a release that will hopefully catapult her to solo superstardom. She's steadily built a solid fanbase and have got the critics on board so I feel like RCA will loosen their purse strings with this project and give her a much higher budget. Very excited to see which new writers and producers she'll collab with too.

Anyone else regretting their song choice this round?

Apologies I suggested that theme. The Pulp Fiction soundtrack is right there though.

I'm so here for this - what a tune!!!

Take That's Greatest Yawnfest.

I reckon she'll hit Gold before the year is out - maybe around the end of September if it can trickle-sell decently.

I loved Closer at the time but find it a bit average these days. Sex On Fire is great!

01 Tone Damli feat. Eric Saade - Imagine a BOP! Admittedly didn't think much of it on first listen but repeated listens has done wonders. Eric is surprising me of late! 02 The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk - Starboy one of the Weeknd's best songs imo. the production is top tier. One of the few big releases of 2016 I stanned. 03 Romy & Fred again.. - Strong another pleasant surprise - fantastic discovery here! By far my fave Fred Again.. choice yet! 04 Les Rythmes Digitales feat. Nik Kershaw - Sometimes not super mad about this, but it's a solid track 05 Ruel - I Can Die Now another good track from Ruel 06 Troye Sivan - Angel Baby doesn't really do much for me but it's nice 07 Conan Gray - Caramel doesn't really do much for me but it's nice 08 David Bowie - Lazarus oops I feel a bit bad for ranking this so low considering the context etc but it's not my cuppa 09 George Michael - Jesus to a Child oops again, I can find some of George's ballads very bland and this sadly fits into that category.

🚨 OUTSIDE LANDS (San Francisco) AUG 7-9 🚨

Yes I need her to support Chappell in the US!

Right! SS, Blondie, HAIM, The Corrs and ABBA!

Jakatta. Noooo my two faves leading atm.

Have a blast! So jealous!!

Most familiar with Kesha, Chappell and Lily this round. RED FLAG. is my absolute highlight of Kesha's period. After Midnight has always been mid-tier for me when it comes to ...Midwest Princess but will be interesting to see how it compares to this list. Never been mad on 22 either but haven't heard it in years tbf. Just saw the Delta choice in the Eurovision thread a few minutes ago. Potentially smart move there. (not familiar enough with the song to really pass too much judgement just yet but it sounded good). I know the Nelly and ROSALIA ones by name but can't recall the song (I'm sure I've heard Try before at least). Don't know any of the others.

Loving the Scissor Sisters and ABBA selections at first glance! Also loving the continuation of people's names in the Groups' song titles - Earl, Denis, Shayla, Maria, Julianna...
