Both Talk falling off just short of retiring

I honestly prefer Satellite in terms of TDCC though, so I hope it returns soon.

I'm afraid to say that all 3 are gone gone.  And as for Khalid, he's moving on to the next single (Right Back) so that's what I'm going to do as well.

Rocketman #1 album  I want to see the album songs in the main chart tho  The archer should be debuting soon as well 

And now it has disappeared  But I gave it a nice amount of plays overall. Well I only let official singles chart on my countdown and nothing from Rocketman is one, plus The Archer is a confirmed promo track.

I don't think it's gonna happen but we'll see. The main songs I'm putting on repeat from The Gift are FIND YOUR WAY BACK, MOOD 4 EVA, OTHERSIDE & MY POWER.

How Do You Sleep is coming quickly

It's a really close one for me, but I'd go with GTFA  All 3 of the upcoming retirees will complete their chart runs. The Hype has been just on the edge of debuting several times and still has a shot, we'll see. Yep Sam deserves it

Rocketman soundtrack already out  Sing street is also an amazing soundtrack and movie tho 

For new releases I really enjoy, I'll usually keep it on repeat for 2-4 weeks and then drop it (before briefly going back to it later on), so Rocketman only stuck around for 2 updates. Oh for sure  I'd say the OST was a bit better than the film though. I completed the John Carney music trilogy last Friday and I'd say~

Movies: Sing Street >> Once >>> Begin Again

Soundtracks: Sing Street [small >] Once >> Begin Again

Just dropped to #20 and will probably stick around the #16-20 area, but it's leaving with a massive record so they're good no matter what.  Love both songs but they just feel a bit stale at this point, doesn't help that A&A + Carly haven't been promoting them or anything. It's definitely a high possibility

 

RIP  Cheap Queen is nice but it didn't capture me as much as P*ssy Is God or her best song, Talia.

Black Bull isn't my favorite, but it's a different sound so maybe I just need to give it some more plays.

[Kevin2803]

I kinda like the Sam Smith song 

 

Ariana pre-debuting 

[TheWayWeWere]

BATB debuting  it's cute, but I'm in minority to say that I liked GHG better  

OMG  

Spirit flopping  

 

[Green]

Great debut of Bad As the Boys 

 

How Do You Sleep? #2 

[Mr. Loco]

I loved Sing street both the movie and OST, didn't really care much for Begin again (Lost stars is a masterpiece tho) and haven't watched Once 

 

What you waiting for

Sam Smith almost getting that #1 spot, sad to see Miley dropping already. Boyfriend almost getting into the countdown.

FUN FACT: "Number One Fan" is among the rare #1s to fly from the bottom of the chart to the top. So far its chart run has been 23-10-4-1.
FORECAST: The battle for next week's #1 spot will be huge because Friendly Fires, Red Hearse & Shura ALL just released

albums today - aka three artists that are currently in the top 7! Meanwhile, MUNA will be fighting for a 2nd week and Sam Smith

will try to not get blocked again. Who will prevail?

Black Bull isn't my favorite, but it's a different sound so maybe I just need to give it some more plays.

Silhouettes came much harder than expected  After my 1st listen I projected it to start at #11-15.

Yeah the song is just alright, I like how hard it is (they teased ENSWBL Part 2 would be harder than Part 1) but it also feels a bit empty because the chorus is almost nonexistent.

Well honestly I'm a very recent fan so I can't say too much  For this era, I only listened to religion because the new album is short & I wanted to wait for everything else. Nothing's Real is decent but didn't come close to my expectations and there's only a few big standouts. Gonna listen to Forevher in a few minutes as I'm going through a lot of new releases right now.

Lost Stars is excellent The only song I knew from the movie before watching, since it was on the deluxe edition of Maroon 5's V. Once has a very strong indie feel to it, Begin Again is a lot more high produced, and then Sing Street is somewhere in the middle. The music from Once is mainly singer-songwriter, folky kinda stuff, perfect for the Fall (which is when I'll definitely be putting it on repeat.)

Well don't forget she left at some point, so the fact that she's still here is pretty great  Ariana will not be making iT and never really had a chance.

Nice to see Bad Guy and one of Aly & AJ's songs retire
