'Disturbia' I imagine gets a pretty strong baseline of streams regardless of Halloween so might have a decent chance to get a reset as well. (I guess 'Dracula' should maybe get a reset too?)

Abdul El-Sayed's former primary opponent endorsing Mike Rogers Lol. Lmao even.

'Psycho Killer' charting at least for the midweeks we love to see <3 doubt it'll be high enough to get noticed for a reset so I assume it'll drop out but we can pray x

The top few Halloween songs got reset as would any normal song last year, the seasonal exception is only for Christmas songs. As much as I would like to have not heard of them (they have some decent songs but a truly horrific band name x), The Snuts' first 3 albums all made the top 3, they're quite an established chart force by this point. (For exactly 1 week per album ofc)

What happens if there are 60 landslides in the same contest? x

Ok well I will type up the veto writeup properly at some point in the week anyway but yes it's this so no one else try it please x

Will be revealed when the vetoing happens x (but I think I leaked enough for it to be able to be worked out fairly easily hehe)

I mean that was how one of them got away with being sent again this year tbf. But there are other reasons this song definitely flies over the veto points needed to be an automatic veto anyway x (and you added 7 more points by making it a double confirmation )

Sorry don't mind me trying to shame people into vetoing themselves to spare the disappointment after however long the veto bureaucracy takes this week. Of course y'all are welcome to keep the songs on the off chance they somehow survive (but not Scene because it's a clash). Will try not to leave it until the very end of the week but Sunday evening confirmation opening isn't an optimum time for me oops

Your 'plan A' is the same very obvious veto Mikey has tried. (collaborations between 2 artists who have both won the contest before, one of which has also had another top 5 hit very recently, are not going to be allowed xx)

We really are in the darkest timeline for indie faves oops (what even is that 13-54 drop for Go_A??) At least my precious 'The Last Man On Earth' fights on x

Unless it gets a massive increase in streaming during the week (or it has more physicals added) it is definitely not going to stay top 40.

a-ha - Take On Me The Cure - Close To Me John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) Siouxsie And The Banshees - Cities In Dust Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere Much better than last week - although still enough songs that I already knew and loved to crowd out any discoveries ('Cities In Dust' was a BuzzJack discovery though, just through BJSC a few years ago). Next best songs I already knew were The Waterboys, Kate Bush and Sade and the best discoveries were The Alarm, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Smiths.

You're going to need that backup x Are you all ok this month xx

I think your original entry was a cover of a previous BJSC entry anyway! (or possibly both of them are versions of the same older song, not sure)

You weren't lying x

Gracias worstie x all looks in order with my points from the spreadsheet

Not sure if the OCC article writers are really oblivious to these physical releases or just have a vested interest in pretending the boosts are for different reasons for some reason. I didn't realise 'petal' had physicals this week, not sure it'll stay top 100 anyway but neat to see it making a surprise First Look reappearance anyway. Andrew Gold for a big new peak please x (boo at them not playing the remix but at least it got played in some form, I assume the Friday chart show will do the same as last year only playing 'Thriller', and maybe anything else that goes top 10 if there's more than one this year).

Can you remove Tom Grennan entirely in that case then please? x

Wonder who that could have been then x

No clashes so far! I'll confirm later in the week, maybe a good old fashioned last minute scramble unless some inspo lands in my lap before then x

Y'all are really persistent in trying to get a certain artist in that's been vetoed multiple times this year already.

I don't know why YouTube embeds seem to not work for some people, they work immediately for me 99% of the time edit: oh yay you fixed it xo

The A-Trak remix of 'Heads Will Roll' charting for the first time *.* Oh my at the OG 'Spooky, Scary Skeletons' making an appearance too.
