personal countdown Nick's Top 30 [Midyear Chart]

[Remmy]

PFD~ Decent numbers for COIN & Grouplove I need Conan's label to send WYWS to radio immediately, but I feel like they'll stay super focused on Maniac. In Your Eyes should be an easy 100%

Hayley finally made it Maniac and Deleter getting droppedT  Well I guess Caroline went #1 at the perfect time because now she's definitely on a slippery slope Harry x2, Dua, Sam and Lana on the rise Abel blocked from a 3rd week reign

 

Quote

Hayley made it but I don't see her going too far, the song is a little bland I think she could've made it more interesting.

but the breathing, that atmospheric bridge & her coming for Chad Gilbert in the 2nd verse... all excellence!

In Your Eyes is great but too new, although it did end up debuting but it'll need a little time to climb. Songs rarely get 3 weeks here so even though Blinding Lights is amazing (and the leading contender for my #1 of the year kii) it would only get another week if there was absolutely no competition.

The new Haim's music is kinda terrible

Now I'm In It is amazing though, their best song probably since The Wire

I wasn't as obsessed with Hallelujah as other people but I appreciate the Fleetwood Mac vibes.

I liked that "Supalonely" song. "Break My Heart is also coming   

Gaslighter is such a slayage, I don't know why but it hit me just recently

I could see it following a Reasons I Drink path of taking a while to reach the chart cause I thought it was just okay at first, but then quickly climbing and dominating once it gets there

In Your Eyes is also a quick grower so expect it to make some moves in the next week especially as Blinding Lights finally loses steam

Top Albums/EPs~ I've heard 7 of these but our ratings only match on 2 of them  Time to listen to Allie X, Adam Lambert and COIN!

Supalonely is a bop  Well Caution is good but it just feels like a typical Killers song, nothing to keep me too interested in listening. I don't really have an explanation for the others, they're just okay to me

In Your Eyes is definitely coming for another slayage, maybe not on Blinding Lights level but definitely near the top of the chart  Heartless is good too but with 3 Weeknd songs on the chart one of them had to make room eventually.

Well SHYHMF and CILY are old anyway, tbh I don't think CILY should have peaked that high, I prefer many songs that peaked lower but that'll be reflected in my year end ranking

Hayley had to leave, but I still like the song, it's just a little old and needed to make room for newer choices. The other 3 will continue climbing though.

Allie X would be the most likely, I heard Devil I Know just today and it was pretty good albeit far inferior to the Kylie song it (possibly unintentionally?) takes inspriation from  although I thought Dua's Physical was far inferior to Olivia Newton John's and it ended up growing on me, so who knows

Like I said before COIN's single was just okay to me, so I don't think the album would really be worth it, I'm adding Vanessa's album to the list though since it came out 2 days ago and it sounds good so far. You should check it out

[Diarrhoea]

Dua debuting with another bop, we really don't deserve her  the Billie song is cute but it's messy how it's out so far before the film now

Blinding Lights and Adore You both down  Spotlight rising is good, I'm very excited for WYP! Gaslighter coming for blood as it should

[Remmy]

Welp @ Hayley leaving early, but at least she charted in the 1st place. Simmer actually just started feeling a bit stale to me this week, too. I hope Troye's PFD % rises next time (or he just simply debuts) because he served once again. Dua + BENEE making it in In Your Eyes, Falling, Physical and LFILFTN all up  Demi and Sam are doing pretty well, I wonder if their collab will have sii  Billie at #1 is cute even though I only listened to the song twice.

I suppose, but it sounds like a discography highlight so I'm fine with that

True, and whoops  Still annoyed at her/her label for not making Soulmate a single. Apparently it was supposed to be one but then Truth Hurts blew up.

Devil I Know is actually my least favorite from the album  I guess it's a decent single choice though. Not sure if she'd be the type to take inspiration from Kylie.

In Your Arms is probably in the middle of my album ranking, unfortunately they released a few highlights before I knew about them. I think COIN (2015) is their best release, very fun and Summery. Well since I took a peek at 2 songs and wasn't feeling either of them, I wouldn't say that's likely to happen
