Definitely. I am always telling this to my husband that there is a gap in the market for a fun europop group/act. Most people would assume there is no interest in them but no-one is doing this type of pop anymore for anyone to know. There are a quite a few gaps in the market at the moment. I am surprised there's no boybands anymore, I am sure there would be a market for them! As for KeiiNo it's almost a shame that its attached to Eurovision as I think it could have been a hit with a push.

I've been reading my old chart books recently so looking forward to these. I will definitely get the 00s and 10s single ones. Though I may ask to get some for Christmas/Birthday later in the year (depending on when they all come out). Obviously the 10s one will be last and out next year.

Oh I am loving the new Sheppard song. I am rooting for that and I think it would do pretty well at Eurovision. Zero Gravity is growing on me though. Sheppard is already #12 on Australian iTunes, think it could do quite well in Europe too. Does anyone know how the format will work on this? Is it just the song with the most votes wins?

Officially #1 in Sweden!

This is now #1 on Swedish Spotify and its beginning to climb in a few European Countries too. I hope it gets a proper push.

Do you have an update for the Singles YTD?

This is becoming incredibly addictive after a few listens. I hope it takes off at some point, its already #11 on Swedish Spotify too.

Has this song even got an official video yet?

I am still shocked la passion was never pushed either, it would have been an easy top 3 here I think (it got to #2 In Ireland). In my mind is doing big things in Europe just gone to #1 In Germany

I've been enjoying Ireland's chart this year, shame the UK rules are being transferred over. However, in more interesting news for the first time in YEARS, the OCC have revealed the best selling singles this year and they've given sale figures.. Link God's Plan is #1 with 75k.

I'd love for one kiss to get there but I think it's time has passed. Youngblood could be number one for a while as they are on the voice at the weekend, unless better now can overtake. I must say that I am finding the digital chart more interesting than the main chart at the moment.

I was thinking about the BGT Semi's earlier and wondered who they may get this year. Camila Cabello, Anne-Marie, Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne, maybe Ariana Grande? Equally they may just get some random BGT finalists from previous years instead -_-

I think this is America could hit number one, it's now hit iTunes in Australia and I can see it doing it here and being big on spotify

I had hoped that one kiss would manage number one but it's lead on iTunes never got big enough sadly. Still, it's now track 1 on hot hits Australia and the video is about to drop so it could provide post Malone with some competition. Speaking of post Malone I think psycho will climb to number one this week. I'd say it's a likely safe bet better now will overtake over next week at the moment unless one kiss or something else pulls away

Its such a shame that download sales have fell so hard recently. I still can't believe that Zombie #1 there. The overall chart is becoming very urban dominated thanks to streaming. I am loving Hurt Somebody and its picking up on streaming now so hopefully it can at least go top 10, I wonder if it can become a hit worldwide?

What is this btw?

Does anyone know when this is premiering?

Officially coming out on Thursday according to David's twitter. There's a new clip on there and it sounds quite promising IMO

Does anyone know if the UK Airplay year end 2017 chart was ever published?

Call me crazy but could This is Me actually end up at #1 at some point? Its gaining quite quickly on iTunes and Spotify and there aren't that many other contenders? River could get a week at the top and there are a few other songs that look set to be big (For You/Breathe) but This is Me seems to be gaining bit of momentum. Of course a brand new song could debut any time now though.

Does anyone know if he is still planning to release the second EP in October?

I was thinking about this song earlier and I am still surprised that this hasn't been promoted here. I know some may say that its a bit 'too' European sounding but I actually think this would be a pretty big hit, especially as its been massive all over Europe.

They are quite short aren't they! Do we know which one (if any) he is promoting as a single? I assume it will be Friends of Mine (wasn't there a rumour the video had already been filmed?) or Lonely Together I hope he hasn't scrapped All I Need (with Sia) and that it will appear on the second EP. I personally love that one so it will be a shame never to have it in HQ.

Sounds like he will be releasing in the next week or two? Can see his first song being big. Its a shame that there hasn't been a mention of his song with Sia (All I Need) but then I guess it could go on the second EP? I will be disappointed if he doesn't release it.

I hope he releases his song with sia as well and it makes it onto one of the spa. I can see his come back being big either way
