Eight is Great - The Poll
Voted for the Stones for 4-6 and Oasis for the rest - most of these were quite easy choices but 'Get Off Of My Cloud' / 'Go Let It Out' / 'I'm The One' were all fairly close and Sam was close-ish for the last 2 as well.

Skye Newman - Out Out
It is top 100 on Apple.

Drake & Central Cee - Which One
It's only projected to debut in the low top 10 in the US - will be a new peak for Central Cee though, his highest Hot 100 position to date was #18 for 'BAND4BAND'.

The UK Top 40 singles of the 1980s: listening sessions + polls
Would like to put a request in now before I forget for Tom Lehrer's 'The Elements' as an RIP slot. One of my mum's faves x

Friday Chart Predictions
Well that is an unexpected First Look #1! Although Bieber ofc rose over the course of the week last week so very well could do so again. Great to see 'Paranoid' in the top 20 and 'Crazy Train' just outside, hopefully both can stay top 40 on Friday (for the first time ever for the latter).

US Hot 100 – 07/26/2025
As much as I love the song, why on Earth is 'WILDFLOWER' still being allowed to chart? It's now more than a month past even the 52/25 recurrency rule...! (I have noticed Billboard are being very lenient on the recurrency rules of late, they must have a very low bar for reasons to grant exemptions).

Buzzjack Songs Multichart #1008
Ooh are we actually back up to date with these again? Great effort x Pretending the chart is upside down - oh well DONE to Wolf Alice and Lorde with their top 3 debuts!

Julian rates every Top 40 hit: the 1980s edition
It's a shame Bow Wow Wow had so few top 40 hits as from the songs I have heard from them they seem like such a fun and wacky band, this and 'Go Wild In The Country' are both great imo, but alas I'd need to be less lazy and seek out more of their songs of my own volition rather than waiting for them to pop up at the weekly SyncTubes haha. Bowie is a great pick for #1 of that batch anyway ofc, poor Kelly Marie deserves more than a 4 though, naff in a fun way for me!

Round 3: Ultimate Survivor XII
Moving to Sugababes now, I do quite like 'Stronger' but a very clear weak link for me compared to 7 songs that I like a lot!
-
The Final: Year End Survivor #121
She has gone off the deep end these days but it's 'Paper Planes' easily. (Actually I think I remember really not liking it when it first came out but I saw the error of my ways later on)

Your... Mount Rushmore albums of 00's and 10's
I don't know nearly enough albums from these decades to make a meaningful contribution but just mildly amused that Bjork seems to live in an alternate dimension where there are 5 heads on Mount Rushmore

Radio 1 Playlist - 25/07/25: This 3x killer is speaking for eternity
So from the Tyler album... the song that charted the highest officially, the song that is currently the highest on Spotify, the song pushed to Hot Hits UK, the song that got a music video and the song that's appeared on the Radio 1 playlist are 5 different songs...! (edit: technically not true now as 'Ring Ring Ring' has been boosted ahead of 'Sugar On My Tongue' on Spotify but it was true when the playlist dropped x) The one that's been playlisted here is my favourite song from the album so taste (I guess they're omitting the 'Tweakin'' half of it though) but 'Ring Ring Ring' certainly would have made more sense, if any song from the album might actually catch on beyond the first day hype it'll probably be that one. (Tyler is misspelt in the OP btw x) Good to see JADE finally A-Listed and the moves up for Interplanetary Criminal and SZA as well ~ Not sure what dirt David Guetta has on them for them to be A-Listing this song that I don't think anyone cares about though!

Fictional artists in the top 10
Professional wrestling is effectively a soap opera so I think it does actually make sense to consider wrestling personas to be fictional characters.

Fictional artists in the top 10
Troy and Gabriella - Breaking Free (it is billed to 'Cast Of High School Musical' on the OCC website / Polyhex but it's credited to the characters on streaming services)
