WhoOdyssey

There’s been several instances recently where I’ve arrived at the cinema with people sat in my pre-booked seat(s)! I get that for some people, they probably don’t care if it’s a quieter film. But then I’d be worried that the seat I end up moving into is booked by someone else too 😅

Now available on all platforms!

Yeah surprising to see The Royston Club climb - it's just a physical re-release of their debut EP. They have quite the fanbase now, so I can see their next studio album going for #1.

They’re the new “The Foals”!

More votes please!

Ice Nine Kills are releasing a horror-themed Christmas EP next month!

Looks like a deluxe could be on the way first though:

He has a long way to go, he may well end up a OHW (in the chart at least, he has lots of songs with decent streams tbf).

The title track is Radio 1's Hottest Record tonight.

Would probably go down like a lead balloon 😂

It's some remix of Hey There Delilah featuring LOLO that released back in July and isn't in the iTunes chart - very strange!

I was thinking more Centuries and yeah, Young Volcanoes. I would include most of the FOB tracks tbf, but there’s been loads of pop rock songs like those in the last decade the chart has ignored.

and some of Fall Out Boy’s pretty pop 2010s material too. It’s a mess!

Could well be their strongest album to date for me! Banger after banger, not a single low point. Definitely one of the most consistent bands of the last 10 years or so.

Not bad for a soundtrack song!

I think Blossoms will be clear for #1. I think The Beatles will be the biggest competition, but they’re hardly going to sell signed copies if they’re behind 😂

It would be combined with the original for the chart.

And the song already reached the Top 40!

I suspected that what Drake teased a while ago wasn’t going to be an official Choosin’ Texas remix.

Final bump for this before the new ones goes out!
