personal countdown DESTINATION: WEEKEND [Oct 2024] Update 2: Side Lists (11/15)

[potent]

Mushroom Punch is a bop, not as good as some of her previous songs but I liked it. Too bad I'm only hearing these songs as they fall out.

I heard Congrats too but it was just okay. Boy getting up to the top 10

Good debut from Lewis Capaldi, the whole top 6 stable  I wonder how long Demi can get at #1 I don't see any immediate contender.

I remember liking Demi's The Middle, haven't heard it in forever though.

[Remmy]

Forgot to post this earlier but this weekend was a busy one (flew to California for the Big Brother 24 finale and then came back today) so my countdown is still going to be on hold as I'm behind on new releases and stuff. I'll return to my typical listening routine and all that this Friday, and the countdown will return October 7th.  So just a 2 week break.

[Remmy]

Okay, the October 7th date is official now  Here is the current PFD list~

Alisa Xayalith (from The Naked & Famous) "I'll Be There" [55%]
Astrid S "Come First" [25%]
Baby Queen "LAZY" [40%]
Bree Runway "THAT GIRL" [45%]
Carly Rae Jepsen "Talking to Yourself" [55%]
Charlotte Lawrence "Morning" [45%]
FLO "Not My Job" [55%]
Indy "Threads" [50%]
IVE "After LIKE" [55%]
Kailee Morgue "Queen BÏtch" [45%]
Khalid "Satellite" [30%]
Michelle Branch "Not My Lover" [50%]
Paramore "This Is Why" [55%]
Sam Smith ft. Kim Petras "Unholy" [35%]
Samia "Kill Her Freak Out" [30%]
Valley "The Problem Song" [60%]
VÉRITÉ “are we done yet?” [25%]

(Whew... a lot of people I like decided not to serve for some reason!)

 

Also, October is in less than an hour (for me) so it's time for another Quarter 3 Celebration!

That will likely be posted on the 2nd.

[JGibson]

Paramore + Michelle Branch

Not feeling Lewis Capaldi's new song yet

Yeah I like this direction he's going in but I feel like the song as a whole could've simply been a bit stronger

Top 5 not moving too much. Some of my favs are dropping and surprisingly Rachel still climbing on the chart. Got some songs on here I'll have to check out.

I hope the move went well. I know it can be difficult and I'm just glad you were able to get an update... I really don't know how you were able to have time !

The song got stuck in my head once or twice, plus I listened to the rest of her EP  But she will very likely be gone next time.

It went decently well  We've never had a move where everything went 100% perfectly lol. The issue was actually less about time and more about how much my brain can handle in one day.

Yeah I'd say the other 2 singles are a bit stronger.
It's cute. A nice, slightly rock-ier direction for them
There really are a lack of contenders  Even after a 2 week break!
It's an album highlight for sure

 

[JGibson]

Boy + 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) + Break My Soul + Substance + Lucky + Easy Lover + Bad Habit 

 

 

 

Most played songs: Want Want + Substance + 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) + Break My Soul 

[Mr. Loco]

Easy lover & Break my soul for Q3  Glad to see them charting well this week 

[potent]

I randomly listened to that Michelle Branch song wasn't expecting much but it sounded pretty good. Too bad Unholy's chances aren't that high.

 

Singles: BMS + Substance + Boy + 2BL

 

Non-singles: Almost half the list is Demi + Beyoncé

Everybody's Gay and Different Kind of World

[Billie Joe]

Renaissance is definitely the highlight this 3rd quarter, and arguably, this year overall.

[Green]

2 Be Loved and Break My Soul in the top 3 most played songs

 

RENAISSANCE top 2 of the most played albums 

[Pinkoverblue]

Paramore, Astrid S (didn't know she had a new single out!), Sam Smith/Kim Petras, & Baby Queen on the list. I hope they all do well on the countdown.

 

 

Beyonce, Rina, and Lizzo album for best albums... which are definitely on my list too.  

[Alldeezy]

Rina, Demi, Beyonce

Yeah the lead single wasn't anything special but I like this one  Unholy's chorus just doesn't hit for me, unfortunately

Oh for sure  And her going in that club/house direction was such an amazing idea whew

Beyonce, Rina, and Lizzo album for best albums... which are definitely on my list too.  

Well sadly the Astrid S single was a dud so it'll be easy for me to move on & forget it  Looks like Paramore will be the only one(s) entering, although Unholy does have the tiniest little chance this week.

 

Period!

[potent]

I just listened to Dayglow's album and it's full of bops tbh. I didn't think Deep End would go #1 in my chart but now maybe it will.

That MisterWives song was also a cute surprise I heard some songs from them before and they were just okay, but this one sounds more polished and well done.

Boy still inching up and Michelle debuting. Breathless is a classic (at least for me )

I forgot 2DCC released their album tbh, there were other releases that interested me more. I've been hearing Everybody's Cool on the spotify indie playlist though and it sounds good.

Right.. especially that excellent opener!

Exactly how I feel. Would've never listened to it on my own if it didn't get recommended to me

I hadn't thought about the song in so many years until I checked out Caroline Polachek's version of it and was like, wait is this a cover? This sounds familiar.

Everybody's Cool is one of the better tracks. The album is good but they've definitely done better.

There were definitely a few tracks I needed more time with. It really is a solid album at the end of the day

 

Yep, she should have no problem getting there

 

They will not

Break my soul so close to retirement and still doing well 

Substance falling a bit 

Lips of an angel is a great rock song, I've been listening to it a lot lately this year

Bad Habit reaching top 10 

 

I hope CUFF IT is a future debut

Paramore jumping into the top 5! Definitely a grower song for me. Beyonce on deck... I'm really hoping a video will come out for something from the album. 

 

Loving all The Beths singles. The first album is definitely better, and sounded great live. Rina's album was a great grower on me
