Agree. Tapestry is a timeless classic. I alternate between it & Dusty in Memphis on my old school cd alarm clock and never tire of either. Didn’t notice Pulp’s Babies had hit silver last week. Guess it didn’t sell much on original release and not sure how much of ‘The sisters e.p.’ if any, contributed towards classification with it being released in 1994 the year the charts started counting properly. Snaps to Wanbabe & Gimme More too

I check the kworb global Spotify streams and see IYE higher consistently but assumed that’s because it was a massive radio hit in Europe at the time, more so than LAFS.

I’d be very interested in an indie folk kylie album. I’m thinking Ocean Blue, Paper Dolls & This Girl. A nice melodic chill acoustic vibe. I’d also be down for an electro left-field album. In the vein of Limbo, CIMW Fischerspooner mix, LAFS Scumfrog mix, Slow Mylo mix. Or indeed anything else she wants to put out 🤣

Alison Limerick - Where Love Licks Typo? Weird Lenny K’s It Ain't Over Til It's Over going gold this week, a week after Mutya’s Real Girl which samples it went silver!

I’m Old so don’t tok!

Lord Huron - The Night We Met (4x) Never heard of this before and wiki says it got to number 77. Certs are baffling sometimes! Made up for Mutya’s Real Girl, it’s my best mate’s favourite ever song!

Hope she’s recorded Baby Doll to be released for the docu. It became a talking point of interviews for years so seems apt. Maybe a ‘duet’ version with her & Prince sharing vocals

Charli’s Sucker remains my favourite album by her. Criminal it’s taken 12 years to get silver, although saying that I don’t think I actually bought it 😆

Oh poo, missed the voting 🤦‍♂️

Beck Loser Plat 🙌 Remember it being out around the same time as Suede’s stay together & blur’s girls & boys but thinking he’s be another American indie one hit wonder, happy I was wrong.

LCA was doing about 7k now 14k Spotify worldwide

The charts are dry clean only Melanie!

I was a MASSIVE Pulp fan 1993 onwards, seen them live so many times. Met up with my Pulp pen pal at the V96 festival to watch them together. We were dancing and chatting then they said they were playing a new song and ‘Help the aged’ started. We both pissed ourselves laughing thinking it was an improvised joke song and then the longer it went on it became less funny when we realised it was genuine. I still thought ‘oh it might just be an album track or b-side’ but no! glad there were much better songs on This is hardcore.

Ah ok, no worries. Just people were lamenting songs not getting through and I thought I’d missed something.

Love the OG of M People’s first hit so to me it’s a No29 single. Gutted for Dusty, I only became aware of it when it became the theme tune to one of my favourite ever comedy programs, Smack the pony. What’s the benchmark for making it to the next round? Apols if it’s already been said.
