Can’t believe that Killer Killer Covid- Mad Mix isn’t in the top 100
Ray Vegano
Encanto is just two weeks on the charts and already destroyed let it go and all the other Disney songs and it's coming for number 1 wow!!!
EB
Edward Bray
Haven't heard four of the top 10. We don't talk about Bruno,Peru,Surface Pressure and fingers Crossed. What are they like?
⁉️
We Don’t Talk About Bruno is pretty good, Peru is mediocre, haven’t heard Surface Pressure, and Fingers Crossed is godawful. :)
afrog
hi edward :D imo they're all meh songs, bruno 4/10 surface pressure 3/10 fingers crossed 4/10 and peru 4/10 (altho the original is 5.5/10)
Piran
Hey Edward! :)
Two of them are both from the 'Encanto' soundtrack! 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' is a lot more theatrical & is a grower, whereas 'Surface Pressure' is the more anthemic hit although isn't really getting a high replay factor for me.
'Peru's an Afrobeat song that Ed's hopped on (no wonder it's this big), while 'Fingers Crossed' is effectively a much more acoustic & throatier version of 'Drivers License'!
How have you been anyway? I was going to ask if you'd be interested in rejoining the Discord server soon, given that the drama there has been dead for months now & it's now an extremely friendly community once again?
EB
Edward Bray
Hi everyone, Sorry that I haven't commented here for two months it's mainly because I haven't had enough time. I'm hoping to start commenting regularly again 🙂.
Anyways, How are you all?
Great to see Gayle knock Adele off the top spot. She would have been number 1 2 weeks ago had it not been for Christmas songs. Where you now is doing really well which is good. Also good to see Do it to it in the top ten last week.

Mad At Me continues to climb up and Cut Me Loose stalls. Also why hasn't Tell It To My Heart entered the Top 40 yet ?? And I'm not to hot on Where Are You Now, I prefer Rise
NN

The Weeknd did wonders with new album release as he have 6 songs on TOP 100 this week including 3 songs inside the TOP 40. Despite that he was lucky to have "Sacrifice" peaked inside the TOP 10 at #10 (was #06 on midweeks but barely make it TOP 10 as sales and streams keep dropping).
"Take My Breath" rised to #14 failling to better the #13 peak it have (was #07 on midweeks but failed to stay there).
Both songs will fall very fast next week as "Sacrifice" already dropped to #26 on iTunes and to #17 on Spotify while "Take My Breath" is now outside iTunes TOP 50 sales and at #96 on Spotify. His new single "Gasoline" may get into the charts next week as it's #55 on Spotify (but is not on iTunes TOP 100 right now).
The album peaked #01 but as was only released digitally and almost all points(equivalent units) came from streaming he will most probably fall out TOP 10 next week (as his streams were huge first 2 days but have been falling faster and faster each day).
Damián
I cant believe how Brave could not place higher though most of the songs dropped this week. Really love Ella Henderson.
Damián
How can When I'm Gone be stucked at 72 being such a dance anthem? It didn't have enough radio airplay??
Piran
Radio airplay is actually its strong point, along with sales, but it’s lacking in streams. :/

ELLA HENDERSON finally back in the chart this week...not with the superb HURRICANE but at least with BRAVE..go girl!

'Hurricane' is such a bop, 2021 was a great year for Ella Henderson and the start of 2022 looks promising too with 'Brave' being here and the album coming in March!
thierry henon
EMMY MELI is climbing...slowly but surely..happy to see that! a slow burner hopefully?
thierry henon
Was hoping AVA MAX "THE MOTTO" to climb this week after her amazing re entry at 37 last week!!! hopefully next week.. She is an amazing singer but apart from her 1st single, she hasn't had much success in the UK!! Shame really!
Half Giant- Ethan
its gonna go up again
thierry henon
how could have guessed that STEPHANIE BEATRIZ from the amazing US Show: Brooklyn nine nine , could sing?! And she is a great singer too!
Half Giant- Ethan
i was so shocked! it turns out that she puts her 'Rosa voice' on, and her real voice in the one she uses in Encanto. Idk if i'll ever see BNN the same again!
thierry henon
I reckon next week we could get a 3 way tie for the number 1 spot! GAYLE vs JESSICA vs LAUREN!! the 3 of them are having so much success right now!!

Very few Weeknd tracks here, surprise...

Yes, which means 'Blinding Lights' gets bumped off the top 100 (at least for now, it may have more longevity than the new songs). This distorts its place in lists of the longest-running singles.
Piran
I still think ‘Blinding Lights’ will be back when all of the ‘Dawn FM’ tracks drop out, haha. :)
Piran
No problem. :)
thierry henon
am over the moon to see JESSICA DARROW making the Top 10 this week!

Only good song on the OST

Dagny's Somebody is everythiiiiinggggg!!!!!
Piran
I can’t believe it took me this long to discover such a bop, but it totally worth the wait, haha. :)
Piran
I’ll probably leave comments on Discord later or tomorrow when I have time to properly look at it, haha. :)
Damián
Absolutely worth the wait. Her whole debut album is amazing! Check it out her last collaboration with Astrid S, "Pretty"....another bop
Piran
I love Astrid S, so I’m sure that one will also be amazing! :D
Damián
It is!!
Piran
Oh, about that, Griff & Sigrid might’ve distracted me from this, haha. :)
Piran
Hmm, this aged well! :P
Damián
I'm sure buddy!! Didnt hear that new collab yet but I hope it gives Sigrid a push to enter to UK properly, though Griff isn't so popular in the charts, isn't she?
Piran
Griff’s had a couple of minor hits & a lot of support from Radio 1 as far as I’m aware, but Sigrid sells consistently well, so hopefully both of those will be combined when ‘Head On Fire’ can hopefully impact the charts next week. :)
Damián
I really hope so!!! Fingers crossed!!
Piran
Both of them absolutely deserve it. :)

Song recommendation of the week - 'Human Heart' by Marc Benjamin & Jay Mason. This track, released this year, has a really nice build-up to the chorus and even if it the chorus is disappointing, the melody is really laid-back for being an EDM song. Let's see if this can debut on top of my chart later, it is battling 'Brave' by Ella Henderson, 'Love Is Just A Word' by Jasmine Thompson & Calum Scott and finally 'Sweet Talker' by Years & Years & Galantis (Glad this stayed Top 40 here as well!)
Damián
Sweet Talker is amazing!

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (14/01/2022 – 20/01/2022)
🔴 (Negative)
1) ‘We Don’t Talk Bruno’ climbs into third position! This is meant to be the huge breakthrough hit for ‘Encanto’ & I honestly don’t get why. It doesn’t have the same anthemic swell like previous soundtrack hits in the charts like ‘Let It Go’ or ‘This Is Me’, for example. Granted, I can’t really comment on the content in context with the film (purely because I haven’t seen it yet), but unfortunately, no member of the cast here seems to stand out to me either! Yeah, sorry, I appreciate Lin-Manuel Miranda’s writing a lot (especially over Latin production), but this song feels incredibly boring & dreary as a whole.
2) ‘Pushin P’ made it in! I mean, come on, it doesn’t even sound any of three rappers in question are trying. I couldn’t even make out what they were saying because of how mumbled & autotuned they all sound, not to mention how terribly the production is mixed into it! There’s at least some kind of alliteration going on here, the bass groove is okay & some of the lyrics are just so cringewortby that they’re actually kind of laughable, but no, even those things aren’t enough to save this from being a sloppily produced mess.
🟠 (Mixed)
1) ‘ABCDEFU’ finally took the #1 despite narrowly missing out last week! This song seems to be one that’s divided opinion across the community & even with all of that, I’m still not sure where I sit on it. Sure, the writing is incredibly basic & the rollicking guitar that opens the song along with Gayle’s bitter delivery kind of reminds me of ‘Hot Girl Bummer’! That being said, this is at least a little bit better because of the sudden swell of anger in the hook where Gayle is just done trying to be patient with an ex that’s treating her horribly & remember that she’s only 17 at the end of the day. Overall, this is fine enough, but given how much it’s getting overplayed & the insane competition coming from break-up songs now, I’m not sure how well this is going to end up aging for me!
2) ‘Fingers Crossed’ took a massive jump as everybody predicted! Funnily enough, the first thing I heard about this song were immediate comparisons to ‘Drivers License’ & is it just me, or is there very little resemblance between the two songs at all? For one, Lauren is taking a much more acoustic approach to this with the instrumentation, particularly in the verses, but I find her vocals to be a lot throatier & sometimes even more rough, especially in the hook! I guess while it’s a good sign that her voice doesn’t crack beneath all the raw power she’s driving into that chorus, it also limits the vocal range that she’s truly capable of reaching, which is probably why I prefer the breathier delivery towards the end of the song. Another thing to note is the content, because while it was clear that Rodrigo still has feelings after parting ways from a former lover, Spencer-Smith is very dismissive of the guy in question & absolutely wants nothing more to do with him! So yeah, this certainly isn’t bad & I completely get why new single people would turn to it, but at the same time, I don’t think this is going to be the career-defining moment for the upcoming teenager unlike what we were seeing exactly a year ago around now, that’s all I’m saying.
3) ‘Surface Pressure’ breaks into the Top 10! See, this is the kind of track from the ‘Encanto’ soundtrack that sounds like it has a lot more long-term potential. Funnily enough, the vocals range from Lizzo in the first verse to Katy Perry in the hook, but I still feel that Jessica Darrow is sticking too much to her lower range & this really could’ve had a lot more potential if she pushed for those power notes instead! Mind you, I think the larger issue here is the backing band not really showing any sense of real dynamic whatsoever, which you’d think a song that addresses the pressures of anxiety & stress kind of effective to have. Again, I probably like this more than any other song from the film at least out of those charting, but this should still be a lot better in my opinion!
4) ‘Retail Therapy’ making its debut! I’ve never been one to get on board with Central Cee due to his lack of hype & limited flow, but neither of those seem to be much of a problem here at all. Yeah, I think he rides the beat fairly well, the percussion touches to this sound really pristine & the drill bass hits at just the right time! I’m still not fully sold on the sped-up sample of Hank Crawford’s ‘Wildflower’ just yet & the lyrics are ultimately just Central Cee bragging about his extensive clothing range, but for his usual standards, this ranks above average for me. Maybe it’ll grow on me even more with a few additional listens?
5) ‘Miserable Man’ hits the Top 40! Okay, I think one thing I have to commend with this is David Kushner himself. His deeper vocals to really hone in on the story-telling of how he’s overcome his troubles by moving to a new home with his family & all the anguish he looks back on kind of gives me stripped-back Hozier vibes. The echoey background vocals might make this all the more sombre, but they’re also a fitting accompaniment, especially as the song comes to a close! Heck, even the guitar swipes over a fairly simple melody don’t really bother me as much as they normally would for a song in this lane. So what’s holding this back for me? Probably the fact that it’s dragged out for way longer than it needs to be, especially with the outro, it would’ve been a much better climax to finish off with a final verse or something, but hey, if any song I’m covering today has potential to be upgraded to the positive section, it’s this one!
6) ‘Make Me Feel Good’ held up better than I expected! This seems to be going more for the retro disco vibe in literally every single aspect, so I’m entirely on board with how much it stands out from the other dance hits in the chart, but even as a lifelong EDM lover, I can’t help that feel that this is way too repetitive to properly get into it.
🟢 (Positive)
1) I’ve now given my scores for The Weeknd’s new album in another post, but let’s just say that I’m absolutely delighted about him getting the #1 album with ‘Dawn FM’, especially when some of the highlights from it like ‘Sacrifice’ & ‘How Do I Make You Love Me?’ are both here, but ‘Less Than Zero’ joining them really would’ve been the icing on the cake!
2) ‘Where Are You Now’ moved into the Top 20! I was kind of worried that the UK would just sleep on this when it was taking off over Europe last autumn, but I’m so glad that they didn’t.
3) ‘Down Under’ is holding up relatively well! I’m usually kind of mixed on drum & bass music as a whole, but this took a classic rock hit from the 80’s & somehow didn’t ruin it! That has to be worth something, haha.
Thanks for reading everyone! Glad to be bringing these weekly reviews back here yet again. :)

being a trap fan, i liked pushin p (the rapcaviar playlist on spotify got me into it), but too easy with future and roddy ricch is just amazing. that should’ve made the top 40 instead.
retail therapy and miserable man are great too
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
okay i take this back lol pushin p is bad~ 💀
i literally cannot take a song with the line “she not a lesbian, for 🅿️, she turn 🅿️esbian” seriously. also, are we really not gonna talk about how young thug is allegedly f*cking a cup of water in his verse? come on, what a waste.
stream too easy and thought i was playing, much better than pushin p
Damián
Great, great review Piran!! Always a pleasure reading it!!
Piran
Thanks for reading through all of it, Dami. :)
Piran
‘Miserable Man’ would’ve been in the positive section if I reviewed it now! :P
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
it is a grower tbf, i gave it a strong 6/10-light 7/10 when i first heard it, now it’s a light 8 for me
Piran
I’d agree with those ratings. :)
Ray Vegano
girl "We don't tal about Bruno" is a master piece, it's hard to have a song with so many layers and voices and still making it relatable, telling a astory throught it, making it catchy and appealling all audiences . It already destroyed every other Disney song in the UK chart (let it go only reached number 11) I think you're not objective with this one because literally ALL producers and singers from youtube praised the production, lyrics and the whole ensemble. Mayve watch the mocie, also I think is coming for the first number one in the UK for a Disney song in more than a decade
Piran
While the song has grown on me significantly since I reviewed it, I still think that there are much better Disney hits over the years, just my opinion. :/

Awesome Top 10 here in general! Lots of EDM which is always good to see and congrats to MHG!
rayever
I bet you’re happy with the big climb for sweet talker lol
Piran
Awesome to see 'Peru' in the Top 10! :D
C
CJtheDJ
Well your bet was right. How much do I owe you lol
rayever
yess I adore it, one of my favourite songs of all time by Ed, which isn’t hard because I don’t like most of his songs lol
Piran
I personally think it beats any official single he released from '='! :P
'Castle On The Hill' probably has to be my personal all-time favourite by him, haha.
rayever
it really does lol, my all time favourite is south of the border
Piran
Ooh, good choice!
I’m not sure if Cardi fits too well into the song, but I love Ed’s & Camila’s chemistry in it. :)
Mrsliver
I am woman and woman are back to back to each other lol
C
Conor
glad abc got the #1 as, although i'm a bit bored of it, GAYLE deserved it last week and if she hadn't got it she would have been seriously robbed!
kittern
Thank The UK for getting rid of ADELE
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
we haven’t “got rid” of her, she’s at number 2
rayever
rip head & heart lol
rayever
OMG ABCDEFU AT NUMBER 1 FINALLY
C
CJtheDJ
Ahhh, 'Let's Go Home Together' didn't return to the Top 100 like it was predicted to! T_T

🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜

Piran
How does everyone feel about the new Avril Lavigne’s new single? :)
Honestly, between this & ‘Bite Me’, I’m so excited for that next album of hers!
C
Conor
ME TOOOOOOO! I don't like it as much as bite me but still a great song and I'm so looking forward to her new album! I've pre-ordered it on CD and casette!

Well, congrats Gayle. I can't say I was rooting for you but a #1 is a #1.

Piran
We already discussed this in DM's, but I'm happy for 'Here We Go... Again' getting a relatively high score at least. :)
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
less than zero, out of time and here we go again are the best songs on the album (the latter is carried by the tyler feature tho)
also, i think the swedish house mafia remix of sacrifice is better than the og
NN
Nu No
Did you really gave "Take My Breath" 1/100 or is there a number missing? I mean... is that the worst song you ever listened to ever? I don't love the song but it isn't that bad either.
Piran
I still haven’t heard the remix of ‘Sacrifice’ yet, but I think it go Top 10 for me if it’s as good as everyone’s hyping it up to be. :)
GS
nope its definitely 1/100, but is much worse

LOVE the 0/10 for do it to it 😻
Piran
Really disappointed that ‘Brave’ & ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ are both nowhere near the Top 40! :(
I really hope that at least one of them will be a slow burner, or at the very least get some radio airplay over the weeks ahead.
⁉️
Can’t relate, I hate both of those songs, especially the former. :(
Piran
How come? :/
C
Conor
I hope they can both go top 40! unlikely but i can hope!
GS
i hate brave & i havent heard dont wake me up but looking at the artists i dont think i will like it
Piran
I didn't think either would be your usual taste unfortunately. :/
Piran
I'll still keep that hope alive! ;)
GA
Gerardo Amador
Agree totally!! I imagined "Brave" at the top 20 even higher!!!..... Look at what happened with "Fingers crossed"... So I thought about "Brave"... With "Don't wake me up" I did expect it to be at the top 20, but it hasn't grown that much on me as Ella's song... 😒 (sigh)
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
never cared for ella henderson unfortunately
Damián
Same buddy, really wished for a new top 40 for Ella at least
Piran
At least it’s starting to get a lot of radio airplay over here. :)
Piran
Aww, how come? :/
Piran
Meanwhile, ‘Brave’ could be a contender for #1 in my upcoming chart! :O
🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜
idk, it’s just that she’s quite boring imo, like, her music hasn’t clicked with me as much as it should have.
Piran
Fair enough! I personally think she’s a very passionate singer & some of her songs can be very motivational. :)
T
Trebor
Less than zero 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Piran
That one’s actually growing on me very quickly. :)
Ray Vegano
as they should
