Yeah, I think it's actually genius. It's the sort of thing Charli xcx would do and everyone would lap up!

I've answered no! My reasoning is in the other thread! 🤣

I know that, I was just pointing out one way in which we could remove all subjectiveness. 🙈 Food Aid has different lyrics, so I wouldn't choose that, but "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid 30 can fight for the crown, I guess! And "You'll Never Walk Alone" definitely has an argument here too! Though I will stand by Gareth Gates 'Unchained Melody' as there was no Charity ensemble version of it, making the song just that bit more ordinary (4 regular artists (or their team) chose to record it!)

Easy. The most ordinary #1 is the most common song to make number one. That is Unchained Melody, and I would say the 4th one to make number one... So we have our winner, which is: Gareth Gates - Unchained Melody This topic can now be closed. 😜

I think I had a little bit of interest in the charts during late primary school... So 99/00ish. Then started listening to the charts/taking a real interest in it on a weekly basis around 2003ish (so I'd have been 11 or 12) - I definitely remember being fascinated by the number ones in summer 2002 (Colourblind Round/Crossroads string etc) I started seeking out sales info in 2006ish (and writing the Top 5 charts in my school planner lol)... So 15/16... Then became a member of CHC in 2007ish (and then here) when I was 16/17 and craving midweek and sales info that was becoming less available through my old methods (think James Masterton(?) used to publish sales reports on some website, have no idea what one though haha) EDIT: Yahoo! That used to be where his chart reports were published. When they stopped, it prompted me to search for other sources, and CHC is what I found!

Omg this CAN'T be happening! I hope the vinyl variants are stunning! (and that there's only one or two lol - my bank balance doesn't want 5000000 copies 😂)

I still stand by this. I'm so beyond gutted Jade's label have screwed her over like this. Jade and her team deserve better than this. 😔

Thanks for commenting! I'm really loving FUFN, only just realised it's spent 9 weeks as my #1. Wow!

This was the first one I thought of. Again, not a massive hit, but it would have made the Top 20 I think...

In 2018, I saw Saara Aalto at Borderline in London - lived that show! Saara Aalto (again) and Blue supported Steps at Castle Park in Colchester that year! Conchita Wurst at Manchester Pride one year... (all the above performed their Eurovision song!) I also saw Years & Years at the Roundhouse in 2018 (obviously this was pre-Eurovision for Olly Alexander!) If we extend this to NF acts, I saw Big Brovaz at Manchester Pride in 2014. I'm pretty sure they didn't do Big Bro Thang though (memory says they only did a few of the hits, with Nadia & Cherise doing all the Booty Luv hits too, and the setlist isn't on setlist.fm...)

3 dates announced at Portman Road (Ipswich Town Football Club's stadium) 11/12/13th July, coming back to my town! Not exactly surprising, given he owns a stake in the club. I'm away that weekend so won't be going either way!

Omg at that title. I love 'Lost Your Faith', so I hope this is good (doubt it'll be a patch on the last album though...)

It's available on Apple, so clearly there's still some differences between what's available on each of the streaming services! (I always preferred Handsfree (If You Hold My Hand): that did even less chartwise, annoyingly)

I've always loved Disease. MAYHEM is such a good album, and this remains my favourite on it. So glad that people are coming around to it now!

That Halestorm chorus reminds me of Nelly Furtado's All Good Things (Come to An End)! Voted for Lorde. Linkin Park, Billy Avril, YUNGBLUD and Halestorm are all great too!

Honestly love Zara and Amy pretty much equally on first listen! Voted for Amy as she could probably do with the support more! Amy Macdonald Zara Larsson Benson Boone (just after) Nemo Sophie Ellis-Bextor PinkPantheress (though I feel like I'll be listening to all the above lots!) Lauren Spencer Smith Tom Odell I'd personally have put Lorde in this list too (I feel that's more pop than some of these!), which would have been my number one! Probably best it's not here though, as I suspect that would trounce the competition 🤣

Think I prefer this to Relentless Love, which was not a patch on Freedom Of The Night! This definitely isn't as instant as Freedom..., but at least it's not beige! Can see this growing!

This is fantastic, such a bold song. MNEK really knows how to get the best of out of Zara!

On first listen this is what I've been waiting for, actually! Added to my playlist. Don't think I've heard anything from her in over a decade now!

Ohhhh, the musical version. Not the one featuring Jack Black, technically!

'Wonderboy' not being mentioned yet is actually a crime. SUCH a good song. And since when was the song 'School of Rock' called 'Teacher's Pet'? I've never seen it called that until now! (amazing song though) EDIT: Ignore me, didn't realise it was just soundtrack songs! Though the 'Wonderboy' video does feel very Game of Thrones beyond the wall-esque iirc...
