I'm guessing this Tom song staying in the chart post Christmas is due to Alexa.

Must we hear Stick Season in 2025? :( Saying it is overplayed is an understatement.

PUSHA PUSHA *.* This better be Tyla's second top ten hit here!

TYLAAAAA!!!! Obsessed with PUSH 2 START! :wub:

I just cannot get into Tyler, The Creator's music for some reason. But Like Him is the best record I have heard from him.

Close To You sounds like a standard Taylor Swift song.

I'm here for this first chart show of 2025. Hope you all are easing into the new year well :).

I'm going to rewatch tonight's episode for that Ravi and Denise scene in the restaurant. That was so hot. :kink:

The second episode was brilliant. CLASSIC Eastenders!!! I loved all the references and throwbacks across the two episodes. Cindygate was a cross between the Stax affair reveal and Sharongate. I don’t think Cindy is dead but will probably be in a coma perhaps until the 40th Anniversary in February which I also expect the person who attacked her will be revealed to the audience. Now who was the attacker? Initially I thought Kojo was the culprit last night but on reflection and reading Lindsey’s brilliant theory on Anna’s motives. It definitely would be the most interesting choice for Anna to be Cindy’s attacker. There would be so much scope to explore if it is the case and even wider ramifications for the Knight family. Again BRAVO to Michelle Collins for a superb performance through out that episode. A great script by the legend that is Simon Ashdown. The Clenshaw era will definitely go down as one of the best eras of the show.

Great first Christmas episode. So much drama and tension! LOVED IT! Denise & Ravi are so hot together. Wow!

Bear in mind SZA’s LANA album was released in the evening UK time so was unlikely to appear in today’s chart. I expect some tracks to feature on the Spotify chart in tomorrow’s update.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM! I'm obsessed with 30 For 30 and Diamond Boy. Those songs are such bangers. It feels like the prequel to SOS though which is very interesting. LANA feels like a development on the CTRL foundation set for SZA's groundbreaking sound and literally acts as a bridge from CTRL to SOS. So I can see why it was released as the deluxe version of SOS. The fact that the LANA tracks precede the SOS standard tracks kinda confirms my theory. While it is a very strong project itself, I feel like people would be disappointed if it was released her 3rd studio album as it doesn't really venture out of its soundscape like SOS did. But this is right up my street, it's more RnB with alternative, indie and psychedelic elements.

Big news - SZA is releasing her highly anticipated project Lana, the deluxe version of her hit second album SOS this Friday. Definitely going to have an impact on the streaming charts next week.

The long awaited and highly anticipated deluxe of SZA's smash second album will be released this Friday (20th December 2024).

Omg I just listened that Peggy song. The lyrics are indeed WILD! Could see it being a big hit in the new year.

Luther :wub: My favourite from GNX. SZA just shines on this track and his other track ‘Gloria’!

MARIAH *.* Kicking off the top 10 right! All I Want For Christmas Is You is one of the few Christmas songs I can never get bored of.

Bed Chem :wub: Sabrina defined pop music this year!

I really need to see the Wicked movie soon to see what the hype is all about.

Nice To Meet You is cute and I expect it to be a huge top 10 hit come January similar to Stargazing.

Interesting to hear a French song in the UK charts!

Taste :wub: :wub: This song is my favourite pop tune of 2024. There’s something so nostalgic about it.

Would have loved a play of Juno :angry:

Woah huge fall for Tate :(. Hopefully 2 hands can recover in January. My second favourite track by her to date after Greedy.

I really do not enjoy Fairytale of New York :(.
