Whose day may be about to be ruined by Tom Grennan 👀

Sam Fender is now pretty quickly burning through the songs I actually like by him hehe Good picks from Calvin and Sam S as well + Gary obvz (just after I posted on SyncTube that I'm not sure Tubeway Army would be allowed to be submitted here lol, I was overthinking it clearly x). I will listen to the HRVY song as well x

As much as I have taken the piss out of HRVY, commiserations whoever sent him, and at least there was the silver lining that I did find one song from him I quite like in 'hesitate' x (now please don't use 'Personal' for the Wagner round or I will take back even that tepid positive)

Oof x

Oh no though Gary Numan is probably in trouble now. I take it back, we hate this twist!

I don't envy the judges having their sole judgement put on blast so publicly here but I am kinda here for the drama of the twist xo 'Sunlight' is a good tune but I think it's possible it would have been in my own bottom 2 of this batch anyway (I haven't heard the iamamiwhoami song iirc + don't recognise the Texas one from the title either, I'll give them a listen) - although I do expect they'd have survived a public vote. Poor yammy going but they'd probably have been more at risk from the public!

Not yet x (Still behind in updating my spreadsheet oop - #soon)

'Where Is Gone?' is #77 for its second full day - I don't think that's too disastrous of a drop, hoping it'll rebound well when the album comes out and be well placed to go top 40 next week.

The concept of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard getting an instant Radio 1 A-List add

My current provisional votes give only 3 more points collectively to semi 2 than to semi 1 (but then most of the songs I have ranked 16th-20th are semi 2).

Hiiped for spoopybangers x I think I know the artist I'm going to send but not decided on the song yet, need to relisten to a few potentials ~

(@blacksquare the YouTube playlist has Pagasa and Lookylion swapped around, can't be splitting up the manifests if random.org wanted them together x)

https://sync-tube.de/room/ApAM3t-I Final listenthrough from 8pm The playlist this month is only 2 hours 34 minutes which must be one of the shortest we've had for a 40+ song final, what happened to the long song bloc xo

'Model & Actriz' 💀 Are you sure it's not Malan Carr feat. Chunkz & Yinrun?

Looks like Chase & Status are safe to get a third #2 album (still without a #1 to their name) as they've surpassed the full week sales of Livvy Rodz from last week - considering none of the singles have really hit this era I'm really surprised they're selling so well but not complaining!

Winner tbh

Guys I retract my previous post. I think there might be something wrong with Calum. x

So this kind of ended up sounding not a lot like either 'Let's Go Surfing' or 'The Perfect Girl' - but it's another excellent song in its own right, glad that you were through safely!

Kendrick doesn't strike me as the type who'd be keeping the Radio 1 playlist team in the loop with a surprise release x I'm sure it'll end up being something very underwhelming. Jorja Smith is doing Live Lounge Month on Friday, maybe she'll be performing something with 2 guests and they're going to playlist that alongside her current single? Lol ~

Too much manifesting x

I would very much like to be included in this narrative x

Did a randomiser really put me and Lookylion next to each other or has there been some sneaky square input there xx (Not me being outclassed by the song right after me as well ) ((And yes I am still planning to do the listenthrough tonight unless there are any major objections! Then will probably still wait until 23:59 on Tuesday to vote anyway hehe))

I did not realise everyone predicted Grouper to DNQ - agreed I think it will have got through pretty easily!
