Iām about to review Kings & Queens since thereās so much hype around it on here, but if youāre expecting something positive, youāre gonna be wrong, so if so, scroll away.
Hi everybody, LameLemur102 here, and itās time for a review of the Ava Max song, āKings & Queensā. There was so much hype on here and ABBA comparisons, so I thought I was gonna enjoy this, but oh no, what I got was a real disappointment. Firstly, the structure is simple and poorly written, especially as thereās no second verse (the bridge might have to be it) and Ava Max delivers vocals that do absolutely nothing for me. It somehow gets even worse when we get to the guitar solo - I get it, itās a pop song, theres not meant to be guitar, but itās so computerised that I canāt like it one bit! The content is embarrassing too - it seems like just another feminist anthem, but dig deeper and sheās basically saying that kings are weaker than queens! So yeah, not liking this one at all, Clap Your Hands is so much better! Iām thinking a solid-strong 3/10. :(
āļø
Yeah, I agree. It's so repetitive and annoying.
Also the themes of feminism are not done well. Way too shallow and nonsensical.
I would also give a 3, maybe a 4. I actually used to like it quite a bit, but after listening to it so many times it just got worse for me.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Yeah, I agree, barely any structure and a bad message.
I didn't mind it at first but Capital overplayed it and it got on my nerves so much. :/
āļø
Yeah, it's far too overplayed, it feels like they play it like every half hour.

His best hit probably (unless you want to count Ghost Town as a hit, but that didn't really do much past Week 1), though nowhere the top of his discography.
āļø
Did anyone notice they renamed the Urban (racist term but whatever) section to the Black Music section.
It's a bit racist to just call Black Music rap, that's just forcing black stereotypes.
At least they ditched the Urban chart (racist name) and the R&B part of the other charts name, which wasn't racist per say, more just wrong.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
I agree. Not all rappers are black - see Eminem, MGK, Lil Pump, Jack Harlow... theyāre white and they rap!

Quite a heavy shake up in the T#op 40 this week, which was needed in my opinion. Very happy to see Head & Heart chart in at number 15, although I think it will rise into the top 10 over the next couple of weeks.
What's also interesting to see is that Disclosure's recent song 'My High' has entered in at 86 - I really think this one has potential to do well in the charts but we'll see.
One song that could potentially enter the top 100 over the next few weeks is John Summit - Deep End. It seems to be circulating on TikTok lately and is in the Top 10 UK Viral Chart on Spotify. Its definitely worth a listen if you liked Pour the Milk and Pump It Up

Eminem's first UK number one

āļø
One of his best, Stan probably outdoes it for me though.
Cameron
Lose Yourself is Eminem's best song in my opinion and Stan is his second best
āļø
Oh yeah, thats probably second for me.
My ranking of his Number 1s (because I seem to be doing quite a lot tonight) is:
1. Stan
2. Lose Yourself
3. The Real Slim Shady
4. Without Me
5. Godzilla
6. Like Toy Soldiers
7. The Monster
8. Just Lose It
9. Smack That
10. River
Cameron
I'd say
1) Lose Yourself
2) Stan
3) Without Me
4) The Real Slim Shady
5) The Monster
6) Godzilla
7) Like Toy Soldiers
8) Smack That
9) River
10) Just Lose It
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Here are mine;
1) Lose Yourself (my second favourite song of all time)
2) Stan
3) Without Me
4) Godzilla
5) The Real Slim Shady
6) River
7) The Monster
8) Like Toy Soldiers
9) Just Lose It
10) Smack That
And here are my rankings of his studio albums (minus Infinite and 8 Mile)
1) The Marshall Mathers LP
2) The Eminem Show
3) The Marshall Mathers LP2
4) Recovery
5) The Slim Shady LP
6) Music To Be Murdered By
7) Encore
8) Relapse
9) Revival
10) Kamikaze
Ten studio albums and ten number one singles. :P
āļø
Only real disagreement is Relapse being too low on the albums list. Here's my ranking:
1. Relapse (10/10)
2. The Marshal Mathers LP (9/10)
3. The Eminem Show (9/10)
4. The Slim Shady LP (9/10)
5. The Marshal Mathers LP 2 (7/10)
6. Kamikaze (6/10)
7. Recovery (6/10)
8. Music To Be Murdered By (4/10)
9. Encore (3/10) (only because of Mockingbird, a top 5 Eminem song for me)
10. Revival (-10/10) (possibly the worst album of all time for me)
As you can tell, I'm mostly a fan of his older stuff, which was absolutely amazing. But past Relapse his albums are just not the same.
He's had some amazing songs like Bad Guy and many more since then, but albums as a whole, yikes.
Cameron

Out of these songs that have spent a long time at number 1, which one do you pick? Poll time! ;)
Shape Of You or Despacito
Everything I Do or I Will Always Love You
One Dance or Dance Monkey

You and Unverification would get along haha.

Yeah, out of all the hits of Divide or maybe even ever, it's 100 percent the best.
My favourite song of his in general is either Antisocial with Travis Scott, or 1000 Nights with Meek Mill and A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, although they both would've been better without him.

Since the UK is absolutely enjoying Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me", I want to share this song here as it compliments the feel of that song with it's breezy synths. I have been listening to them together for weeks now. Making a strong push for No. 1 on my Weekly Active Chart (updated Mondays on Headline's Billboard news article) is Janet Jackson's "When I Think Of You". It peaked at No. 10 in the UK in 1986 and No. 1 in the US. :)

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (10/07/2020 - 16/07/2020)
This is one of those weeks where it doesnāt look like itāll be too hectic on the surface, but dig a little deeper & youāll see that last weekās new music was all over the place, which has resulted in nine new songs here! That also means a really long review from me today, haha.
Anyway, while I said a couple weeks back that āSavage Loveā being Song Of The Summer for 2020 was a bold prediction, Iām now saying Iāll be really surprised if it didnāt get that accolade! While itās been competing with āRockstarā on streams for a while, its sales are well out in front & it's picking up way more momentum on the radio than any other song. Yeah, itās not going anywhere for a whileā¦ heck, itās probably not even peaked in performance yet either!
Elsewhere, I really like āDancing In The Moonlightā finally getting some recognition outside of Capital FM to be one of the very few climbers we had this week, but the real reason most of the songs this week are falling (even despite none being placed on ACR) are due to the insane number of new arrivals this week.
The biggest of which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is āWest Tenā by AJ Tracey & Mabel, which is now a Top 10! Anyway, while I do like this a lot & it didnāt even need to grow on me this time, I do find that there are way too many similarities to āLadbroke Groveā here. The first big indicator is that he literally named the title of the song after his home area again without any reference to it in the content & he even enlisted the help of a rising female star to sing on the hook! That being said, while these similarities arenāt exactly amazing for originality, theyāre certainly appealing features to the song. Like Jorja Smith, Mabel brings her smooth & fresh vocals to a hook that will definitely stick in your mind, even though Iām not sure about her chemistry with AJ Tracey here, but AJ Tracey himself is bringing a really fast lyrical flow! Seriously, you can tell that this guy is just naturally awesome with songwriting & especially freestyles. Even the content isnāt that far removed from what weāre used to with these two artists, mild bragging from AJ Tracey while also keeping the vibe of the song very summery & Mabel gaining independence from a man whoās been troubling her! So yeah, while there are certainly a couple of issues here that will always bug me a little, theyāre thankfully only minor. Therefore, Iām giving this a solid 7/10!
Now, that brings us on to Pop Smoke, who lands three debuts on this weekās chart! Hereās the thing, while I know the background behind his tragic death at such a young age, Iāve only heard one song of his (āDiorā) & that was okay at best, so I didnāt really have any particular expectations for any of the songs he has here today. Anyway, Iāll just run through these a bit faster than the other new entries! āThe Wooā has some interesting trap production, but the delivery from each rapper was fairly underwhelming, so Iām giving this one a strong 5/10. āFor The Nightā was sadly a lot more dull until DaBaby stepped in, but even then, this is far from his best, so thatās getting a solid 4/10! The last one, āMake It Rainā didnāt even appear in the chart update despite charting low down last week, but Iām liking Pop Smokeās laid-back delivery here along with much more chilled production, so this is probably the best of the three with a solid 6/10. In general, Iām certainly not against the breakthrough he had this week as my ratings show, but his music just isnāt for me! May he rest in peace though.
In fact, while weāre on the topic of rap songs, letās go over the songs from that genre by some of the British newcomers! Unfortunately, Digga D has yet to really impress me with anything heās put out, but man, I really donāt think heās doing to do it with this. See, Digga D could have potential with how sincere he sounds & how he switches up his flow, but there are some real mixing issues with the homegrown production here, along with the fact that it fails to have any bombast or substance at all! Overall though, none of that matters anyway, but itās the lyrics that killed this entirely for me. Sure, I couldāve predicted the entirely immature description of this girlās private parts, but the continued repetition of āwoi-woi-woiā, especially when itās so high-pitched & aggravating, might be the worst thing Iāve heard in a UK urban hit since KSI made the abomination that was āPoppinā earlier this year! No, this is absolutely terrible, letās pray it doesnāt start any kind of trend. Strong 2/10!
Then thereās Deno teaming up with OFB (Bandokay & Double LZ) for āCirclesā! All Iāve got to say is, youāre brave making a song with this title when Post Malone recently broke records with the song of the same name, but you know what, this actually turned out reasonably well. Whatās pleasantly surprising about Deno is that I prefer him as a singer more than a rapper, but heās got the kind of soulful vocals where autotune actually works for him, as this one appears to confirm! That being said, you get beyond the 45 second mark & the vibe feels very different, switching out the sombre & twinkling production for a very well-crafted drill beat, which seems to fluctuate in & out at just the right time. In general, the three rappers seem to spar really well with one another throughout! Iām not sure if this stands out enough to have any significant staying power, but Iām definitely digging this on first listen! Light 7/10.
Okay, letās not put it off any longer, weāve got to Kanye West, who as many of you know, Iām not a fan of at all! Itās fair to say I had my worries with this song, especially when heās working alongside Ty Dolla $ign, FKA Twigs & Skrillex of all people on this. That being said, eh, Iām more frustrated by this than disappointed! See, the brassy vocals sampled from the club classic āYou Used To Love Meā are still a signature dancefloor classic today, but they just donāt feel compatible in a predominantly Ty Dolla $ign song. To be honest, I actually start to get into this a bit more when he takes centre stage, delivery blunt but surprisingly emotionally deep lines over a groovy bass progression consisting of just four notes! A lot of this continues into Kanyeās part too, even if his content is all about the Super Bowl, Grammys, voting & birth control (not surprised given his recent actions). However, the best part of the song wouldāve lied within the end of the song from FKA Twigsā outro, except the retro-house vibe ended so abruptly & simply didnāt last as long it should have! To be honest, this song didnāt sound anywhere near like I thought it would, but given everyone who was crammed onto this record, it turns out mostly fine overall. Solid 6/10!
One more rap song left & itās one thatās been getting a really polarising response all over social media, including on here, āWhatās Poppinā by Jack Harlow! Just to clarify, Iāll only be reviewing the original as thatās the version thatās credited on OCCās record (plus, I havenāt heard the remix yet, even if thatās what ultimately got it took off ACR). Anyway, man, if thereās a TikTok song from America thatās crept up on me over these past few weeks, itās this one! At first I thought his delivery was simply a mix of, say, G-Eazy & Logic, but then you realise that he maintained his consistently speedy flow for the entirety of a very extended verse & that he can somehow command that well alongside a quirky piano line & a fizzy trap beat, which actually leads to an intriguing idea here. Iām never going to get on board with this in the same way that Coolocelot would, but at least I can say I enjoy this. Strong 7/10!
The last review is for a song that I literally only just heard for the first time, āHead & Heartā by Joel Corry & MNEK, which is yet another collaboration that I didnāt see coming! Being an EDM fan, I donāt understand why I always leave listening to some bangers until the end of the tracking week. Among the guest singers, MNEK alone makes this more uplifting than both āSorryā & āLonelyā combined, even if Iām not too sold on the āheartbeatā style hook (but itāll probably grow on me anyway). I think what Joel Corry brings this time which weāve not really seen from him before are smooth & glimmering chords to accompany the drop, which would give this so much more attention in clubs that both of its predecessors if clubs were actually open! Overall, again, I mightāve only just heard it, but that doesnāt mean it canāt be the best new entry of the week, which you know what, it actually is by a long way. Light 9/10 for this one!
Finally, the DaBaby remix of āDonāt Rushā is somehow even better than the original, haha! Itās a shame that none of the songs from the new Eurovision movie made this week, but it looks like that new Kid Cudi & Eminem collaboration will make a considerable impact on next weekās chart.
Thatās it from me, but I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

So glad 'Mood Swings' made it in - not my favourite single from the album but is no 16 in my personal chart ('What You Know Bout Love' is no 5)
āļø
Only things I really disagree with its What's Poppin being too high and Ego Death being so low.
Pop Smoke should also be a bit higher in my opinion, but great review as always.
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
No - I hope WHATS POPPIN goes top 20! (Top 10 may be pushing it since 'Flowers' can't... :(
Piran
Thanks Unverification! Glad you liked it. :)
I knew we were going to disagree on 'What's Poppin' though, haha!
Piran
Can you send me a link to your personal chart please? I'll post mine in a moment! :D

Whatās Poppin is a 7/10, Iām pleased with how much itās grown on you! For me, itās a strong 9/10. West Ten is a decent 6/10 and Head & Heart is probably a light 8/10 from me. The Pop Smoke songs are cool too! :)
Piran
I'm glad we agree on most of the debuts this week! :D
Yeah, a lot of trap songs tend to do this, but it happened to 'What's Poppin' in particular, haha.
āļø
Yeah, I knew it was gonna get quite a good review from you.
Ego Death is also probably a 10 for me, but it's probably because of Kanye.
By the way, could we please have a review on Wash Us In The Blood? I know it didn't chart but I really want to know your opinion on it seeing as it's also a 10 for me.

I like rap, but I hate how we get loads of 1-weekers in the chart. With Joel Corry for example, he drops enough to get every single on an individual Now CD, whereas some rappers drop every other week it seems, and if they're UK, the chances are it'll go top 40. Also, Piran, the other day we had a chat about ACR, and I remembered about Christmas.
Piran
Oh yeah, ACR caused a lot of issues at Christmas, as it effectively robbed Mariah of finally getting to #1! :(
Piran
I love your #1 & #3! :D
#2 has grown on me a lot too, but I haven't heard #4 nor #5 yet.
Piran
Sorry, never been a fan of Kanye. :/

I hope I see the day where he shouts āTaylor Swift is one of the greatest pop stars of ALL TIME!!ā :P
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
Plus I don't know why they're bothered about WeekNd in top 10 if they can fill a top 10 with Xmas songs š
Piran
Haha, well he wouldn't be wrong! ;)
āļø
Neither are most people here. I get why though.
Piran
Yeah, exactly! Also, when songs are taken off ACR, it always happens a week after the song has gained enough in performance, so that's another flaw in its methodology. :/

See, I like his music, just not his personality. His BRITs performance from 2015 was fire though, I managed to hear it uncensored through YouTube lol. XD
Piran
Yeah, his music's okay, but it's more his personality I have problems with! :/
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
I sorta like WUITB but i Hope TKN doesnt go top 40
āļø
Yeah, he is mental.
Agree with your point on performance though, that was amazing.
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
Thanks I hope FF can become my favourite hit at some point lol
āļø
I really don't mind myself. His music far makes up for it to me, and I actually kinda think it would be worse without it.
Piran
Then again, my favourite artist is Taylor Swift, so I guess that doesn't help when it comes to me & Kanye! :P
Piran
'Fake Friends'? Yes! That song really deserved to make the Top 40.

Next week or I'll cry š
Piran
Me too! :/
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
Now 106 may help it š
Piran
Haha, let's hope so! :D
āļø
It's funny, Kanye is my favourite artist.
What he did was really bad though, but at least it provided my favourite album of all time.
Piran
Which one would that be? :P
new acc - disqus.com/afrog69
I hope he is prez (tho I'm UK so it wouldnt matter)... Probably why i want him to be prez
āļø
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He actually apologises at some points on there as well.
Piran
That's probably one of his better albums! :)
āļø
Yeah, it wouldn't matter to me, but I honestly think he's the best candidate over there.
āļø
What would you say is his best then. All of them are either a 9 or 10 for me personally.
Piran
Probably 'Graduation'.
āļø
Yeah, defo one of his best. My ranking is:
1: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (12/10)
2. Late Registration (11/10)
3. The College Dropout (11/10)
4. Yeezus (11/10)
5. Graduation (10/10)
6. The Life Of Pablo (10/10)
7. ye (10/10)
8. 808s And Heartbreak (10/10)
9. JESUS IS KING (9/10)
It changes a lot though.
Piran
Oh wow, you really love Kanye then! :P
āļø
Yeah, a lot. What would your scores be for Taylor?
Piran
Taylor Swift (8/10)
Fearless (1000/10)
Speak Now (9/10)
Red (9/10)
1989 (10/10)
Reputation (7/10)
Lover (9/10)
