2. Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism (RE)

3. Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead (NEW)

 

 

Conclusion:

Well, this week was obviously highly dominated by Ms twigs. I didn't expect Eusexua to slay me like this, but so far, it's definitely up there in terms of AOTY 2025 for me. A great record that is clearly inspired by some phenomenal 90s records while still managing to have its own modern identity. Besides FKA twigs, I've come around some Eurovision songs and fell in love with the Finnish entry + Ariana dropped her deluxe. Especially Warm stuck to me, but we'll have to see how Twilight Zone, Hampstead and Intro might grow in the upcoming weeks. I'm also positive for other artists such as Jennie or Bey to return in the upcoming week again because these past 3 weeks were very much dominated by some BIG album debuts. I've barely listened to other music, so expect some nice diversity next week.

Conclusion:
Well, this week was clearly dominated by Eurovision. I've finally come around to listening to the entries this year and happened to find myself liking quite a lot of the entries (surprisingly, since many claimed this year was rather weak). Obviously, these songs mostly won't survive my charts post Eurovision next month, but up until then, expect to see some of them occupying my weekly charts in the upcoming weeks. 

Other than that, I've grown to like quite a few of Ariana's deluxe tracks, especially Warm, which imho is the best track of the deluxe album. So smooth and effortless and yet layered. I love it! Certainly going to stick around for a while!

3/23~ Nearly the whole top 15 being debuts My 2 faves from Ruby being real high (Handlebars & With the IE) Although I wish MAYHEM was the one dominating instead  But I'll take what I can get. FUFN + The Giver Both are great. I see some of your Gaga faves are the lighter songs DCT is soo underrated, loved that from play #1 while plenty were mixed on it. HBDYWM threw me for a loop the first time around kiiii, it's SO Taylor plus the lyrics are lowkey out of character for ha. Started in my bottom 3 but it grew on me real quick. LoveDrug  Another one that's decently underappreciated. Now when are we gonna get Zombieboy in here Training Season & NISSAN ALTIMA coming back Never been a fan of Whatcha Doing, everytime someone says that's one of their RO highlights I'm like oh, interesting... || 3/30~ Can't say warm made much of an impression on me when I listened, let me revisit at some point. That batch of returnees in the 2nd half especially bloodonmyhands + Abracadabra and the latter made it so MAYHEM wasn't completely wiped away || 4/6~ Never been a Eurovision girlie so no thoughts, head empty on plenty of these  Hampstead is my fave from ES deluxe twilight zone is also nice. Love Relationships, already a discography highlight in my eyes. BREAK MY SOUL
