I've got a feeling she won't win anything. She hasn't got much chance winning Leading Performer as if she even makes the shortlist the other contenders will have their storylines rammed down throats by the time voting closes while her storyline has finished. As the public don't get a say on Best Villan, It might go to Gray as he is a more conventional villan.

Thursday more than made up for the 3 trial days which were pretty disappointing apart from the end scene on Tuesday. It should have ended on Thursday although we would have missed out on the end scene on Friday.

I remember reading something like this before. I think it may have been this. https://www.smoothradio.com/news/music/most...ify-uk-by-year/

There was a programme on Greatest Hits Radio about the Now Albums yesterday. https://planetradio.co.uk/greatest-hits/player/183603517/

Not sure if it's been mentioned but after Christmas chart saw Band Aid and East 17 beaten by the song which was No2 when they were No1. Also Chris Rea was higher than Cliff 30 years on and the 3 1973 Christmas Songs were in reverse to their 1973 positions.

Smith hosts 2 episodes in December but Shaky appears on the 1 he didn't. Neither Smith or Shaky appear on Christmas Day and the video is shown on the Long/Peel first episode in 1986.

Yes Lawson had 5 Top Tens.

Whip My Hair - Willow Badman Riddim - Vato Gonzalez Oliver Twist - D'banj Too Close - Alex Clare You Bring Me Joy - Amelia Lily Simply Amazing - Trey Songz Only Love - Ben Howard Got No Fans - Wealdstone Raider

Also Tina Turner went back into the top 10 with The Best.

There were no female No1's between Livin' Joy in May 1995 and Gina G in May 1996.

Moby's Play was saved by the later singles off the album.

Living In A Box - Living In A Box from the album Living In A Box

Faith No More could have done that as they released a song called Epic but unfortunately it wasn't on the Epic Label.

I think David Gray's White Ladder came out in 1999 but started to sell more after Babylon came out in 2000. Dido's No Angel also came out before Eminem's Stan which then made the album a big hit.

Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger No54 followed by Sweet Dreams No2 No Doubt - Just A Girl No38 followed by Don't Speak No1 Both of those flops made the top ten when re-released after the hit. Also the big 3 long running No1's of the 90s artists had relative flops before Bryan Adams - Victim Of Love No68 (1987) - I Do It For You No1(1991) Wet Wet Wet - Cold Cold Heart No23 - Love Is All Around No1(Both from 1994 but not same album) Whitney Houston - I Belong To You No54(1991) - I Will Always Love You No1 (1992)
