Leigh is doing Celebrity Traitors!!
Yeah she's been great although during the tasks she seems to take more of a backseat (at least that how it looks on TV) Loving the fact we're getting to see her more in the last episode.

LOVE THIS! I wish this was the lead single with full single treatment! It's super super catchy!

I'm going rogue for the final round 😂

Leigh-Anne - My Ego Told Me To: Do A Fan Edition • 1st Album DELUXE
I would love to be excited about this but I fear she could be out Friday if it's dropping then unless it is a deluxe and they're dropping the first single from it before the deluxe next week? It does sound really catchy though!

Leigh is doing Celebrity Traitors!!
Yeah she’s definitely going under the radar! None of us could even see Leigh on the task until towards the end! I hope she makes it further because as the group gets smaller we’ll get to see more of her personality and theories.

Friday Chart Predictions
That makes no sense because if we go by label support / artists wealth then we may as well just not have a chart at all, because there's great artists who release music yet don't make a dent in the charts because they don't have label support or budget. At the end of the day the charts are essentially the most consumed music of that week so do you honestly think people / consumers are only listening to songs once? For instance Sienna was number 1 I've listened to Great Expectation hundreds of times so is that now chart manipulation because I've listened more than once? The Charts reflect what people are consuming and yes the charts are essentially collectors and hardcore fans buying physicals now but my point still stands. You can't manipulate a chart when everyone has the same rules, just because Taylor has a monumental fanbase compared to other artists and times releases to secure the highest position possible doesn't make her a manipulator when ALL artists are reducing downloads, adding signed copies, ticket / CD bundles for intimate shows and have stacks of variants it's just Taylor can do it on a bigger scale because of her following... Blossoms just this week have adding extra shows, signed copies, reducing prices and had a pop up shop (Are you telling me fans haven't bought multiple copies..?!?)

Friday Chart Predictions
There's a big difference between tactics and manipulation. The OCC rules are the same for everyone you can't manipulate an outcome when everyone's following the same rules. Taylor just gets loads of heat because her sales / fanbase is HUGE but that's essentially what the charts are anyway whoever can sell the most.

Friday Chart Predictions
Any other artist can do exactly the same though and have done. So how is it manipulation? BTS release like 18 versions of the same song and have drip fed remixes / versions that let’s be honest are pointless and it’s only hardcore fans buying them.

Just FYI you can't manipulate the chart when the rules are the same for everyone...

I don't know why you've taken my tongue in cheek comment so deeply it was clearly a joke...

Touch • 2nd Single • Part II
I’d love this to chart again even if it just makes the top 100 or something!

Friday Chart Predictions
The Super Deluxe was charting at 6 for ages so I'm assuming iTunes has combined the sales of the standard / Super Deluxe and it's just the £9.99 one that's showing in the chart as that's selling more than the super. I'm not sure why this happens but it's done it a few times with multiple variants on iTunes the deluxe/bonus track etc get's essentially removed and the standard one starts showing or vice-versa.

Tinashe - Popstar
This just goes to show that artists can essentially 'flop' for years and then everything can swiftly turn around! it's a shame labels are so quick to get rid of artists when the next hit is just around the corner.

Touch • 2nd Single • Part II
More and more video’s appearing!!!
-
Leigh-Anne - My Ego Told Me To: Do A Fan Edition • 1st Album DELUXE
I'm buzzing she's capitalised on The Traitors! Hopefully she teases for a couple of weeks before just dropping it (unless of course she leaves early)

Friday Chart Predictions
I can see Taylor dropping some CD's and the rest next week. They'll know they can drop 2k of them ish and then the rest of the bulk next to keep her at number 1.

Touch • 2nd Single • Part II
Going viral on Tiktok there's a couple of video's with over 400k likes in the last 2 days.

Streaming Services Chart Discussion; W/C 02/10/26
Well for me I prefer a pop girl vocal over a male vocal but I like loads of male pop artists and songs. Benson, Sombr, Alex and Ed (Bad Habits especially!) I just don't like Jamie's voice (At least on Babydoll) I dislike it that much I turn it off when it comes on the radio 😬

I thought it was mostly universally loved? It's been getting loads of praise on here. I just really dislike it. I hate the Meeeee parts I just don't like his tone I find it so grating and the whole thing while I can see similarities to 'Man I Need' that had a retro classy feel this feels so cheap and tacky.
