You can find the answers here as I’ve already put this poll to the BuzzJack community! :magic:

This topic is a bit more general though!

With Midge Ure confirming there are no plans to revamp Band Aid for it’s 40th anniversary, is the time for large multi-artist charity singles over? We have not seen one since 2020 at the start of the pandemic, and thanks to some promotion, it reached #1.

 

Do you want to see more singles like this with big names to fit the bill?

It wasn't much later, but the most recent one to make the charts was the BBC Radio 2 Allstars with 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' at #7.

Is it available on itunes or still amazon exclusive as I thought the strictly performance would boost it.

Amazon Exclusive.

'Everywhere, Everything' with Gracie Abrams also released a few weeks ago and made #72 - his chart history is looking quite full now!

I really hope 'Stick Season' can go #1 officially in the next few weeks.

Apparently 'Kool-Aid' is releasing fairly soon.

But excluded from their xmas playleests. They were huge, before they sold out with cheesy pop btw.

They still are a huge stadium-selling band, and at this point likely always will be.

Songs like that are complete one-offs. They're not going to, so nobody should expect that of them!

It's a great result for him to be getting a top 2 hit 2 and half years after eyrovision.

It's only been a year and a half!

Sounds like their fourth album will be releasing next year!

The whole song references trap music etc - I’m assuming it’s more of an attempt at “clever” wordplay but it all just sounds like claptrap to me

It's a different sort of 'trap' (Urban Dictionary will be your friend here), Central Cee doesn't really make trap music!

Wow. Jordan Fish has left the band.

He’s been instrumental in developing their sound since ‘Sempiternal’, so it’ll be interesting to see where they go from here.
