Hey everyone! :)
Just wanted to make a quick comment regarding my Emoji Challenges...
Firstly, I would like to thank you all so much for participating in them & even doing your own when I'm not here! It's clear that a lot of people are enjoying them, so I plan on continuing them for a good while yet.
However, there is an update I need to make, because here is what happens when we look at the overall leaderboard so far...
Coolocelot: 34
Cameron: 16
Jstar: 15
Michael: 15
Fintendo: 8
Frank: 3
Rector: 3
Alex: 3
Gordon: 3
Mateusz: 3
George: 2
Hulnia: 2
Techfan: 2
David: 1
Electric Dude: 1
Now, you'll also notice immediately that Coolocelot has an insane lead. That being said, other than me, he's the only other person who regularly comments on both Headline Planet every Monday night & OCC every Friday night, where I post these challenges, while not many other people who have participated take part more than once a week!
That's why, starting with immediate effect, this leaderboard will be broke down into two separate leaderboards, to make these challenges more fair & exciting! Therefore, I've separated the points depending on which site you generally tend to comment on.
So, when that happens, we have...
OCC:
Coolocelot: 17
Cameron: 16
Fintendo: 8
Jstar: 5
Frank: 3
Rector: 3
Alex: 3
Mateusz: 2
George: 2
Hulnia: 2
David: 1
Electric Dude: 1
Headline Planet:
Coolocelot: 17
Michael: 15
Jstar: 10
Gordon: 3
Techfan: 1

These are the numbers so far for Gaga's album according to Buzzjack

Happy to see Rain on Me at Number 1, It's such a fun song :)
Also I noticed every week Ed Sheeran's Perfect remains in the 40-50 area and I find thats so impressive considering how old it is.
For next week I am really really hoping that "Sour Candy" a new song by Lady Gaga and Blackpink can get somewhere in the top 40, it's such a awesome song and I'm happy to see Blackpink back again
J
Jstar
All of Gaga's songs from Chromatica were in the top 50 for Spotify U.K yesterday.
Piran
You mean those from 'Chromatica', right? ;)
J
Jstar
Yep, I just edited my comment, i meant to include that. She has way more than 50 songs lol.
Piran
Haha, yeah, I was going to say, she's really popular, but I don't she's big enough to get songs from her previous albums back in the Top 50! :P
J
Jstar
Yeah now that would be insane lol. Nobody is doing that haha. But in total she did around 45 million worldwide on Spotify for Chromatica yesterday. She only did around 7 million on the first day for Joanne worldwide.
Piran
Oh wow, so her streams were about 6-7x more than her last studio album? :O
I just love how some people here said that she was over when 'Perfect Illusion' missed debuting inside the Top 10, now she's had two #1's since then, with both of them probably lasting multiple weeks at the top. Let's not forget that she already has one of the biggest radio hits of 2020 so far in the UK too!
J
Jstar
Even I didn't expect this much lol. But I think A Star is Born was probably the best move in her career. It basically brought her back to be a major force again. That album really was special, I don't think she would be having all this success right now if it wasn't for that movie and soundtrack, but I am happy it happened.
Piran
Okay, here's a poll for all of you...
I'll post five artists popular artists & I'd like you all to tell me your favourite song by them.
I'm happy to take requests & I'll let you know what my favourite is in the replies too! :)
So this week, we have:
Taylor Swift
Eminem
Katy Perry
Ariana Grande
Ed Sheeran
Piran
Mine would be:
Love Story
The Monster
Firework
Into You
Castle On The Hill
š§” oliviasnoodles š
For me, itād be:
I Knew You Were Trouble
Lose Yourself
Firework
God is a woman
The A Team
Fintendo
For me it's:
Style
Without Me
Firework
No Tears Left To Cry
Antisocial
Piran
Cool choices Fintendo! :D
I'm glad we agree on 'Firework', while 'Style' & 'No Tears Left To Cry' were both former #1's on my personal chart.
Piran
I like all of these actually! :D
Seems all of us agree on 'Firework' so far, although 'Teenage Dream' was very close for me.
Fintendo
Thanks! Firework was an absolute banger when I was 6! Style has a cool beat and so does No Tears Left To cry, Antisocial is criminally underrated!
Piran
By the way, I'll being doing the same poll on Monday night on Headline Planet too! ;)
Piran
Yeah, 'Antisocial' was decent! I'm not usually a fan of Travis Scott, but he fit the production well on that song in my opinion. :)
For me, it's Taylor's vocals on 'Style' that make it one of her 18 #1's on my personal chart. Then again, she is my favourite of all-time after all, haha!
crunch2k
Blank Space
Not Afraid
Teenage Dream
The Way
Thinking Out Loud
Piran
I absolutely adore 'Teenage Dream'! It's easily my second favourite Katy Perry song. :)
'The Way' has aged surprisingly well too!
J
Jstar
I knew you were Trouble
Lose Yourself
Firework
The Way
Don't
DamiƔn
Taylor: Style and Wildest Dreams
Eminent: Lose Yourself
Katy Perry: Walking on Earth
Ariana Grande: Into You
Ed Sheeran: Nothing On You ft. Paulo Londra
Love this new game Piran!!!!
Piran
Thanks Dami! :D
Yeah, 'Style' & 'Wildest Dreams' definitely deserve such praise, as there were both among the best tracks from '1989' in my opinion.
I guess I'm not surprised to see 'Nothing On You' as your favourite Ed Sheeran song, as Paulo Londra is from the same country as you, isn't he?
DamiƔn
Haha...yep, you 're right. Paulo Londra is an Argentinean trapper so popular here and this song was #1several weeks in our local top 40
Piran
Oh wow, that's cool, but I'm not surprised really, haha!
Like most people outside of Argentina, I'd never heard of Paulo Londra before 'Nothing On You'. :)

Review 29/05/20
The new entries were good this week surf mesa has a good summer vibe which I can see climbing,the Eurovision entry is amazing infact I can see this climbing in the next coming weeks. KSI's new album/song that charted was an improvement to be honest. I have to give credit a number #2 album from a youtuber,just a shame #baldski didn't happen. rain on me brings me back to 2011 lady gaga days,you know back with edge of glory and co. although I do feel Rockstar should have stayed number 1 for longer but rain on me no doubt a good song 9/10 from me that. if anyone is intrested we have a newly set up group where we discuss the chart,post the daily statistics (so basically a chart update every single day with the numbers) and we post the chart earlier and do live coverage of it. the group ahs grown over the past weeks.therefore appreciate anyone who joins

One thing Iād really like to see next week itās obvs I think breaking me is going to the top 10 which Iām happy about but I would LOVE to see flowers sneak in there! No one deserves it more than nathan dawe!

I wonder if Rain On Me will stay on #1 next week due to Chromatica being released

Thereās only three things I fear in life. I fear spiders, I fear coronavirus, and I fear the police after what happened to George Floyd.
Piran
Honestly, if a British policeman did that to a civilian over here, that officer would probably be charged with manslaughter at the very least, maybe even murder given the circumstances.
Of course, it wouldn't be the same in America though, especially with how racist & violent their security forces are. I thought cops were supposed to help protect people's lives, not destroy them! :/
Piran
Okay, it actually turns out that former Minneapolis officer was indeed charged with murder in the end. My only hope now is that he gets a life sentence at minimum!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Exactly! Police have no right to kill someone as innocent as George (god, American cops are a pain sometimes, especially to black people). He does indeed deserve to be punished. >:(
Piran
Yeah, what did George even do in the first place? Probably nothing remotely illegal, given that three CNN reporters were also arrested for simply reporting on this story that the police triggered in the first place.
At the end of the day, regardless of his profession, Derek Chauvin intentionally took another person's life, which is the worst possible crime to commit. I doubt it'll happens, but he should face capital punishment!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
I never knew that news reporters were arrested too, but why? And yes, murder is the worst crime to commit, I agree, and Iāve been suggesting capital punishment for him too.
I know a song to sum up this crisis...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-48u_uWMHY

I completely agree with you mate!

Hello, and welcome to another chart review. Letās start by looking at some notable gains. Firstly, āRoverā continues its rise to the top, looks like this is here to stay, itās definitely grown on me as a pretty fun and catchy banger. āBreaking Meā also continues to rise as it begins to skirt the top 10, and while I donāt dislike this, Iām certainly pretty cold on it so if it becomes a hit I wonāt be particularly enthusiastic about it. āFlowersā and āDonāt Need Loveā also continue to rise, the latter of which Iām more pleased about than the former. āWatermelon Sugarā gets a big boost via the video. It will be interesting to see whether this sticks around. āSecretsā rises, this has grown on me a lot and I would be really happy to see this become huge. āParty Girlā, on the other hand, continues its steep climb up the charts despite being utterly mediocre. āIf Youāre Too Shy (Let Me Know)ā gets a boost off the album, whatās really telling is whether it can sustain this momentum, and most surprisingly, āThink About Thingsā gets a boost to within the top 40! Will this be a hit? āIly (I Love You Baby)ā sadly continues its ascent, and surprisingly āGo Crazyā actually picks up off the debut: maybe this will be the 2020 version of āNo Guidanceā. āMidnight (The Hanging Tree)ā has been sustaining its presence in the lower half of the charts, it seems to have some staying power there, which Iām very pleased about. What Iām less pleased about are gains for āSurrenderā and āLike It Isā howeverā¦
Moving onto some notable losses, the big surprise for me is that āStuck With Uā didnāt fall harder than it did, I was expecting a similar fate to āGOOBAā. āIf The World Was Endingā takes a loss, maybe itā its peak? āWHATS POPPINā also takes a loss, I hope this can still rebound and pick up a few more points though. āDaisiesā drops off though not by as much as I was expecting, and āAfter Partyā drops, letās see it drop out the charts as quick as possible. āFallingā takes a massive hit, Iām no expert on this chartās weird rules but I expect ACR is at play. āSupalonelyā takes a hit, which is a shame because it was growing on me. Notable dropouts are āSunday Bestā, which definitely isnāt taking off over here as much as it is in the US, āXā, which I thought had the potential to be a real hit, and āGuysā, which I thought would get a boost off the album. Letās move on to the main event though, our new entries, of which we have a whopping 14ā¦
Letās start with #96 ā āTogetherā by Sia, and yeah I have to say I donāt like this. The production and specifically the vocal mixing sounds really tinny and cheap, the lyrics are generic inspirational fodder, the plinky keys are hackneyed and overall Siaās voice isnāt flattered here at all and sounds very strained. The bridge was probably the worst part of the song though, Sia delivers these lines in the most awkward and embarrassing way. Not a fan of this, strong 3/10.
At #90 we have āTOP FLOORā by Gunna and Travis Scott. This is ok, nothing special, the horn sample for the beat sounds a bit cheap but the slow pace of it and thunderous bass are an ok vibe. Travis Scottās vocal performance is ok but Gunnaās leaves something to be desired as the song quickly wears out its welcome. Nothing too see here, decent 5/10.
At #86 we have āPowerā by Ellie Goulding, and wow, we couldāve had something great here. This reminds me of the Gorillaz song āWe Got The Powerā, and thereās really some elements of this I love. Gouldingās vocal performance is good, the dynamic bass loop is great for providing a strong backbone to the song, it really grounds it. The tempo is good, I like the reverb-laden mix with huge snares, and a lot of percussive embellishments to make the song stand out, and I like the progression too. My main problem here is production-related once more, I feel like thereās just this artificial sheen on the whole song, I think the vocal mixing is subpar, and overall this needed to come together more to just sound much more rounded, instead it comes off as a bit tinny in the high-end. This couldāve been great but this will always really distract me from the core of the song so for me, a strong 5 to a light 6 at most.
At #84 we have āDOLLAZ ON MY HEADā by Gunna and Young Thug, and this is much better. I like the dreamy beat with a much higher tempo, so thereās a good groove here and itās much less patience-testing. Gunna proves once again that heās the most redundant trap artist in the mainstream by delivering a completely nondescript vocal performance, but itās ok to listen to. Young Thug comes in and doesnāt inject as much energy into the song as I would like. Also I would love to hear some fatter bass on this song, that would really make it pop some more. This is fine enough, strong 5/10.
At #83 we have the last of our Gunna songs, āWUNNAā, and this is by far the best of the bunch. The beat is blissful and hypnotic, thatās really why this works so well, itās a really tranquil vibe that surprisingly matches Gunnaās understated delivery well. Here, his voice is just an accessory to the production, so I donāt feel like he needs to deliver an amazing vocal performance, instead he just rides this beat effortlessly. This is good stuff. For me, a strong 6/10.
Moving on from Gunna, at #82 we have āNothing Revealed / Everything Deniedā by The 1975, and, as I expected, they deliver again. This time, thereās clear hip hop influence as the vocals are bathed in a nice layer of autotune which plays well against the blissed-out keys and choppy beat. The rapping isnāt amazing, but itās not bad. The chorus is really lovely and overall the vibe of the song is really lovely and melancholic. The mixing of the choral vocals is a little sloppy but apart from that, this is pretty good. Strong 6/10.
At #72 we have āHickory Dickory Dockā by Fredo, and yeah this isnāt very good. The main problem is, again, the production, which sounds so cheap. The snares really should have way more low-end, they sound so clattery in the ears, itās a really cheap sound that makes the beat sound thrown-together. It really distracts from the rest of the song, though there isnāt much worth saving. Itās a standard drill song with a pretty subpar hook and a pretty subpar vocal performance. If the production wasnāt really distracting this would be mediocre at best. A decent 4/10 for me.
Moving onto #68 we have āDaechwitaā by Agust D. I respect what this is trying to do, itās supposed to be an aggressive trap banger, but for me it falls somewhat short. I like the eerie samples used, and thereās a lot of embellishments that actually make this a fairly dynamic piece of production, but I think it can be a bit messy at times, not as crisp-sounding and clear as it should be. Agust Dās vocal performance is ok but not flattered by the production issues I highlighted, and overall the song outstays its welcome. For me, this is a decent 5/10.
At #57 we have āRawā by Aitch. First of all, I have to compliment the production. Aitch always has great taste in production, this conjures a really menacing vibe, with clicking percussion, some eerie synths, and just the right amount of space in the mix. Aitchās vocal performance and lyrics are good. The only problem really is that it definitely does sound a little like what would constitute album filler, it needs to be just a bit more dynamic, there needs to be an injection of energy in the second half, a problem Iāve consistently had with Aitchās music. It tends to just be him coasting on a vibe, which is generally good, but never great. For me this is a strong 5/10.
At #56 we have āTonight (I Wish I Was Your Boyā by The 1975, and this is definitely the worst of the 2 new entries we have from the band this week. This has a more uptempo groove, and regardless of the passionate vocals which are similar to the other song, the vibe here is more nonchalant, I donāt think it really comes together. The horns are a bit shrill and overall I think this sounds a little messy. I like the vocals and the chord progression, but I think where it falls apart is the groove of the song and the embellishments. For me, this is a decent 5/10.
Moving into the top 40, we have āWhoās That Whatās Thatā by Niko B at #39, and this is not at all what I was expecting. Itās basically a low-fi hip hop song with some vinyl crackle, accompanied by a few comedic verses which I have to admit, were quite funny. This fellaās matter-of-fact delivery as he details how he got his girlfriend locked up by planting coke in her purse, and how he hates McDonalds gherkins, is just absurd enough to work, and when accompanied by some ridiculous ad-libs, this makes for a pretty funny song that itās impossible not to root for. Light 6/10.
At #27 we have āKilla Killaā by KSI and Aiyana-Lee. I like the production here, itās quite fast-paced with a nice twinkly melody line, overall conjures a quite careless and fun vibe. The hook, though, while catchy, I donāt really like, and KSI continues not to impress me as a vocalist, he has some annoying ad-libs and the autotune is a little obnoxious. Itās not offensive though. Light 5/10.
At #24 we have KSIās highest charting debut this week, āCapā featuring Offset. The production is ok, a generic trap rumble. Offset rides the beat well as he usually does with his energetic and dynamic vocal style, but KSI really just ruins the song. His vocals are lathered with autotune, he slurs his words, he sounds completely unpolished and mediocre over this and he really pales in comparison to Offset, itās pretty embarrassing. Iām about sick of KSI songs in the charts at this point. This is a very light 5/10.
Finally, at #1 we have āRain On Meā by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, and honestly, this may be even more disappointing than Stupid Love. Lady Gaga really isnāt a presence here. Despite some slightly odd vocal inflections towards the end, she could be replaced with any other vocalist here over this washed out, generic disco-inspired song with a really meagre groove. It just isnāt interesting from a sound perspective. Ariana delivers an ok vocal performance but itās not really a song that makes the best use of her, thereās no drama to this song, no good tension and resolution, and really from Gaga I expected something so much more show-stopping and dramatic, especially in the melodic department. It just doesnāt sound like Gaga is trying anymore, which is a shame. Light 5/10.
So I canāt believe Iām saying it but āWUNNAā is my best of the week, narrowly edging out āNothing Revealed / Everything Deniedā, and my worst of the week is āTogetherā by a country mile. This was really tedious to write with so many new entries and Iām definitely flagging now so thanks so much for reading, and have a good day.

I think he's a pretty nondescript vocalist so I don't blame the critics, but I think the production of WUNNA as well as his cool, laidback delivery just works really well so I know he's at least capable of some good songs
Piran
Yeah, although to be fair, you begin at the bottom of the chart & work your way up, while I start at the top & go down (I also only do the Top 40).
Either way, it would've still got a very strong 9/10 from me, as it was my second most streamed track of the past week!
It's definitely a grower though! :D

Fun facts:
- Boasting a sale of 70K, 'Rain on Me' gives both Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande each their sixth #1 single. It is the fourth highest weekly sale for a #1 so far this year and highest in five weeks.
- Strangely enough, Ariana Grande has featured on all of the last three all-female multi-artist tracks to top the chart. 'Problem', 'Bang Bang' and now 'Rain on Me'. The latter is also the first #1 song by a female duo since the former did in 2014.
- Despite increasing its sales by 6.7%, 'Rockstar' has to settle for the runner-up position with a sale of 61K.
- 24K sales separate #2 and #3, while only 57 sales separate #4 and #5.
- Around 7K sales separate The 1975 and KSI's albums.
- KSI's seven other album tracks would chart between #38 and #53.

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (29/05/2020 - 04/06/2020)
Man, I knew this week was going to be an eventful one, but I didnāt expect this much action happening! That said, when most of it is really positive news, Iām not about to complain about that either. :)
Firstly, letās discuss by far the biggest singles chart impact of this week, āRain On Meā debuting to become Lady Gagaās sixth #1 single across three decades! Hereās the thing, despite the Ariana Grande, this held up so much better than I thought it would. Lady Gaga has always been big on sales & even more massive on the radio, but sheās never been one of the female artists to get massive streaming numbers, at least not this early on. That said, it convincingly held up over āRockstarā really well thanks to consistency in all metrics & with āChromaticaā being released today, itās already in the prime position to get next week at the top too!
That being said, the biggest reason that thisāll stick around for a while is because of the song itself, which yeah, is absolutely awesome! With Lady Gagaās raw delivery & huge bombastic disco production, it takes me back to some of her early albums that made her so iconic in the first place. Ariana also adds a surprising amount of swell & power to this too, which gives you one of the most entertaining & enjoyable hooks of 2020 so far. There have been different interpretations of the lyrics, but the vibe I was getting was that ārainā was a metaphor for ācryā here, so the message was about just letting your emotion out sometimes & not being afraid to show it, which I actually respect a lot if thatās what they were trying to get at. No word of a lie, if Ariana & Gaga harmonised a little bit more in this song, it would almost be a highlight of both artistsā entire discography. Thatās my only criticism though & itās more a nitpick, but wow, this song really shows what both Gaga & Ariana are capable of with their vocal registers! For me, a very strong 9/10, keep buying & streaming it, because itās amazing.
Then, we get to the mini-takeover for KSI & look, I was ambivalent going into these three tracks we got from him in the chart today. Sure, outside of āPoppinā, I enjoy the charisma & flair he brings to the table, but his fanbase, man, some of them are really toxic! Again, Iām not mad at the artist at all nor people who even find the meme funny, but I am mad at the disgusting fanboys who made: racist, homophobic, inconsiderate & mindless comments to anybody else who supported any other artist apart from KSI. That being said, their scheme failed, so the fact that theyāve been silenced almost makes up for it entirely! :D
Anyway, all that aside, moving on to the songs themselves! I already reviewed āHoudiniā & itās stuck with me rather well, so Iām giving that a light 7/10. As for āCapā, the opening beat honestly made my ears hurt & the fuzzy autotune around both Offset & KSIās vocals, along with that distorted bass, really kills any interest I have here! Sorry, this is mediocre at best for me, light 4/10. Then thereās āKilla Killaā, which has actually been recommended to me a few times already & wow, Aiyana-Lee sounds really impressive over the clangy beat (reminds me a bit of Mabelās voice). Iām not sure how well the transaction works into KSIās verse, but heās bringing a flow that actually suits him here! Yeah, the song might end rather abruptly, but the general vibe Iām getting is that itās both chilled & addictive at the same time. Hope it gets some promotion going forward, because this was a pleasant listen! Strong 7/10.
All that being said, the weirdest part of the chart might be near the bottom of it! Heck, we finally got a Eurovision song inside the Top 40 for the first time since 2015. Now granted, most of you will associate āThink About Thingsā with TikTok, but it started out on Eurovision, just putting that out there being a big fan of the contest! Anyway, Iām just as excited to hear it here because itās a genuinely cool tune. Dadi Freyr (the frontman) has a really deep & sincere tone to open the song, but what captured my attention the most was the funky & quirky instrumentation, which gives this a groove that I havenāt been able to get out of my head since I heard it a couple of months ago. The singer actually said that he wrote this for his daughter, as she always has a curious mind & likes talking to her father about her thoughts! Itās incredibly sweet, but also works for all age groups. You know youāve got something wonderful on your hands when the only thing I can criticise about this is the basic choreography in the official video, but while I personally wouldnāt give it ādouze pointsā, but I can certainly see why this was a huge favourite. For me, Iām thinking a light 9/10!
On top of that, we even got a remake of a classic from way back in the 1960ās! This is actually the fourth version of āCanāt Take My Eyes Off Youā remixed by Surf Mesa, with vocals provided by Emilee Flood & while āily [i love you baby]ā kind of died down for me over the past month, I still think itās got massive potential going into the early summer & Iām so glad it crossed over from Europe. Yes, the song is constructed in a way that it feels very repetitive, but thatās not really a problem when everything else about this song rules! Emilee has a silky smooth voice thatās the perfect fit for this gentle tropical production. I mean, even the vocal loop is brilliantly constructed! Like I said, this is showing all the signs of being the next EDM smash, so letās make it climb even further over the coming weeks! Strong 8/10 here.
Finally, to round things out, we got āWhoās That Whatās Thatā, which becomes Niko Bās first chart entry. The best way to describe this is just a summary of a studentās standard night out on the town! Seriously, heās singing rather melodically about taking gherkins out of Big Macs in the McDonaldās Meal Deal, getting revenge on a girl who attacked his family & losing his phone. Itās completely ridiculous, sure, but itās so stereotypical of boisterous British teenagers that itās kind of amusing! Yeah, this might be a guilty pleasure, but Iām digging this so far. Solid 7/10!
Funny that, we got two 9/10ās this week (nearly three), but no perfect scoresā¦ oh yeah, āIf Youāre Too Shy [Let Me Know]ā re-entered, so thereās your 10/10. Seriously though, what an incredible week overall!
As for next week, well Iām not seeing any major success for Kygoās new album unfortunately, but hopefully there will be for Lady Gagaās at least.
Thatās it from me for today!
Take care, stay safe & have a lush weekend. ;)

Excellent review as usually mate! So happy Rain on Me debuted straight at 1 and pop music takes the crown again on British charts. The whole album us great, a non stop dance pop banger and I was shocked with the Elton John's collaboration, I'd thought it'd be a ballad and, imo, was one of the powerful tracks of the album
Piran
Thank you, Dami!
Yeah, 'Rain On Me' debuting at #1 was such a refreshing change from all the rap music we're getting at #1! I don't even mind rap, but we needed a pure pop smash at the top & we finally got it. :)
Oh wow... I haven't even got around to hearing 'Sine From Above' yet, but I can't wait to now, given what you've just said about it!

"Again, Iām not mad at the artist at all nor people who even find the meme funny, but I am mad at the disgusting fanboys who made: racist, homophobic, inconsiderate & mindless comments to anybody else who supported any other artist apart from KSI."
You've repeated this on like every thread regarding this without showing any racist/homophobic/inconsiderate comments. Did you just saw one tweet or a comment clearly meant to shock people and went along with the narrative of "oH kSi fAnS aRe ToxIc" or something ? Coz you can find those tweets from literally ANY fanbase of any big celeb. Unless the person you're talking about has done something (which KSI hasn't) then its unnecessary to keep mentioning the same narrative "oH kSi fAnS aRe ToxIc" which is irrelevant to your review anyway.
Also didn't Matt Healy, the lead singer of 1975, literally made a tweet mocking the Black Lives Matter movement and using it as promo for his music around the same time as competing with KSI, a hugely successful BLACK entertainer. Its funny coz I don't see you calling Matt Healy racist but ofc you won't coz that doesn't go well with your one sided narrative.
"That being said, their scheme failed, so the fact that theyāve been silenced almost makes up for it entirely!"
Failure ? KSI is still number 6 after nearly a month of his album's release whereas 1975's album have dropped out of top 40. But yeah, keep going with your biased condescending bs.
Piran
I find it hilarious how you actually tried to spread your hate onto another article away from the original album charts article we were exchanging on.
So, before I talk about your comment, let's clear up the other one that OCC rightfully deleted...
"I didn't ask you to compare"... I couldn't care less that you didn't ask! This is a music forum for fans of all demographics to share their opinions, so I can say whatever I want about both The 1975 & KSI.
The part about The 1975's record label buying all their albums is completely ridiculous, since their album sales are generally not much different to that of other successful indie-pop groups. What are you going to say next... that the hundreds of thousands of fans that have gone to their shows all work for Polydor? Literal nonsense!
Moving onto this comment & yes, all fanbases will have some toxic fans who made those kind of remarks, but I've never seen on the level of the KSI stans that were on that article about a month ago. I've said exactly where you can find those comments, but you mention about a tweet from The 1975, then where's the tweet?! You haven't put a link nor explained exactly what was said or anything, so unless there's proof, I'm not going to believe it (if you actually did, then maybe that would make me have a think about the way I look at The 1975 as an act).
Besides, the way a fanbase interactions with other groups gives a strong insight into the personality of an artist! I don't want to be associated with people who can't respect other acts, which is a shame, because I actually ended up mostly liking 'Dissimulation' as an album. I think mentioning that I support an artist (except for 'Cap' & 'Poppin') despite toxic comments being spread by their supporters in this community is an important point in these reviews & if anything, is doing KSI a favour!
"Their scheme failed" comes from the fact that KSI fans were trying to get an album to #1 because of a meme & really unfriendly comments! If they were pleasant, then things might've different & encouraged more people to check out the album, but no, the opposite of that happened & that drove most fans on social media platforms away from buying or streaming 'Dissimulation', hence why The 1975 debuted at #1.
Just accept the results. Regardless, no matter how much you rant at me, it's not going to make OCC reconsider what happened a month ago!

"I find it hilarious how you actually tried to spread your hate onto another article away from the original album charts article we were exchanging on."
When did I ever spread hate ? I just said its suspicious how 1975 went from number 1 to straight up out of number 60 in 3 weeks at the time I was talking about. Since they are with a huge label, I said I won't be surprised if the mass bought their own units coz sorry to burst your bubble, most big labels do illegitimate tactics to get their album number 1.
That's not called hate, I'm not going "aH tHeY aRe sO bAd, sO TeRriBLe". I didn't even say anything bad about them personally or anything bad about their music either, I just questioned their first week sales & their label but I guess that was enough to upset & trigger you.
If anything, I think the only one spreading hate is you constantly going mentioning & purposely trash talking a black entertainer's fanbase.
"I couldn't care less that you didn't ask! This is a music forum for fans of all demographics to share their opinions, so I can say whatever I want about both The 1975 & KSI."
I couldn't care if you do or don't share your opinion, I just called you out for padding up your comments with stuff that doesn't contribute to the original argument. And yes, you can say what you want, just like I can say 1975 or their label potentially bought their own labels the first week & then dropped out of top 40 within weeks.
"Moving onto this comment & yes, all fanbases will have some toxic fans who made those kind of remarks, but I've never seen on the level of the KSI stans that were on that article about a month ago. I've said exactly where you can find those comments"
No, you haven't. You used the word "racist" and "homophobic", I didn't see a single comment on that article that was racist or homophobic towards 1975. Show me. Whichever article you're talking about, take the screenshot of the comment & show me the racism towards 1975.
The absolute irony of someone being racist towards 1975, the group literally made of white boys, one of which mocked black lives matter & used it to promo his own music. And yes, I could've easily shown the tweet but your daddy Matt Healey deleted his entire twitter after being called for being racist for his tweet and also for older racist tweets & antics. He may have deleted his twitter after being exposed, however its not that hard to find.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/028b493edf3db5ecc33c2770c46e5685c221e0abcdc7b15a9c03e64f651df62a.png
Go ahead now, make an excuse for your whiteboy. Always hilarious to see a white stan defend a white celeb for being racist against black people.
"comes from the fact that KSI fans were trying to get an album to #1 because of a meme & really unfriendly comments!"
Wtf is fans gonna do when KSI was depromoting his album & promoting his competition (1975) throughout the entire week ? You're legit more obsessed with KSI's fans than KSI himself.

Btw you couldn't even show 3 people that I mentioned, I just assumed it & gave you the benefit of the doubt.
"the opposite of that happened & that drove most fans on social media platforms away from buying or streaming 'Dissimulation', hence why The 1975 debuted at #1."
No 1975 debuted at number 1 coz they released CDs from day 1. KSI, however didn't until the midweek till it was too late. Also KSI was depromoting his album & promoting his competition (1975) throughout the entire week. And also coz like I said 1975's label potentially bought their own albums which explains why KSI maintained his number 2 spot in the following week whereas 1975's album kept on dropping to the point they are now out of top 40.
"Just accept the results. Regardless, no matter how much you rant at me, it's not going to make OCC reconsider what happened a month ago!"
You're acting like me questioning 1975's first week sales is me going "oH kSi ShOulD'Ve BeEn nUmBeR OnE". I didn't even wanted to see him number 1 neither I wanted to see him bald. All I did was question 1975's first week sales since they instantly dropped so hard. Idk why was that was enough to upset you so much, I didn't even say anything bad about your precious whiteboys or their music.
And also mainly coz every article regarding this, I see you attacking KSI's fans constantly, I ignored it for the most part but since you kept doing it, I know there's a clear hatred and narrative you're trying to push. The lead white singer of your favourite band has already been called out for being a racist so I wouldn't be surprised if their fans like you don't like KSI either since he is a hugely successful young BLACK entertainer.

"I find it hilarious how you actually tried to spread your hate onto another article away from the original album charts article we were exchanging on."
When did I ever spread hate ? I just said its suspicious how 1975 went from number 1 to straight up out of number 60 in 3 weeks at the time I was talking about. Since they are with a huge label, I said I won't be surprised if the mass bought their own units coz sorry to burst your bubble, most big labels do illegitimate tactics to get their album number 1.
That's not called hate, I'm not going "aH tHeY aRe sO bAd, sO TeRriBLe". I didn't even say anything bad about them personally or anything bad about their music either, I just questioned their first week sales & their label but I guess that was enough to upset & trigger you.
If anything, I think the only one spreading hate is you constantly going mentioning & purposely trash talking a black entertainer's fanbase.
"I couldn't care less that you didn't ask! This is a music forum for fans of all demographics to share their opinions, so I can say whatever I want about both The 1975 & KSI."
I couldn't care less if you do or don't share your opinion, I just called you out for padding up your comments with stuff that doesn't contribute to the original argument. And yes, you can say what you want, just like I can say 1975 or their label potentially bought their own labels the first week & then dropped out of top 40 within weeks.
"Moving onto this comment & yes, all fanbases will have some toxic fans who made those kind of remarks, but I've never seen on the level of the KSI stans that were on that article about a month ago. I've said exactly where you can find those comments"
No, you haven't. You used the word "racist" and "homophobic", I didn't see a single comment on that article that was racist or homophobic towards 1975. Show me. Whichever article you're talking about, take the screenshot of the comment & show me the racism towards 1975.
The absolute irony of someone being racist towards 1975, the group literally made of white boys, one of which mocked black lives matter & used it to promo his own music. And yes, I could've easily shown the tweet but your daddy Matt Healey deleted his entire twitter after being called for being racist for his tweet and also for older racist tweets & antics. He may have deleted his twitter after being exposed, however its not that hard to find.
Go ahead now, make an excuse for your whiteboy. Always hilarious to see a white stan defend a white celeb for being racist against black people.
"comes from the fact that KSI fans were trying to get an album to #1 because of a meme & really unfriendly comments!"
Wtf is fans gonna do when KSI was depromoting his album & promoting his competition (1975) throughout the entire week ? You're legit more obsessed with KSI's fans than KSI himself.
oH tHrEe kSi fAnS oUt of hIs 30 MiLLiOn SuBsCrIbErS sAiD sOmEthInG bAd & NoW I'M gOnnA oN hIs eNTiRe fAnBaSe oN EvErY aRTicLe
Btw you couldn't even show 3 people that I mentioned, I just assumed it & gave you the benefit of the doubt.
"the opposite of that happened & that drove most fans on social media platforms away from buying or streaming 'Dissimulation', hence why The 1975 debuted at #1."
No 1975 debuted at number 1 coz they released CDs from day 1. KSI, however didn't until the midweek till it was too late. Also KSI was depromoting his album & promoting his competition (1975) throughout the entire week. And also coz like I said 1975's label potentially bought their own albums which explains why KSI maintained his number 2 spot in the following week whereas 1975's album kept on dropping to the point they are now out of top 40.
"Just accept the results. Regardless, no matter how much you rant at me, it's not going to make OCC reconsider what happened a month ago!"

If it's not that hard to find, then you would've showed me by now!
I'm not even upset nor triggered by your accusation against The 1975's debut week, I'm just saying that it's almost certainly not true! It's not my fault that you're still so butthurt that KSI didn't debut above The 1975. Besides, #2 is still an amazing result for KSI & 'Dissimulation' has had longevity in the Top 10!
In fact, with more investigation, KSI actually accused fans of The 1975 being "not real", yet those alleged fake fans still beat him to #1 on the UK's only official chart show: https://metro.co.uk/2020/05/25/ksi-feels-wrath-bts-army-jokes-not-real-fans-album-beats-suga-number-one-12755146/
The racist comments were against other fanbases! I never said they were against The 1975, but "other fanbases", including Agust D: https://www.jazminemedia.com/2020/05/youtuber-ksi-fans-flood-agust-d-itunes-page-with-1-star-negative-racist-reviews-because-of-this-reason/
If you look at that bottom link, there are #BALDSKI comments that say "this is just gay af" & "stank booty a$$"! Still not homophobic nor hurtful then?
I've used two different sources to prove my points, but again, where's the evidence to support your points? I still haven't seen it... :/
Besides, my very first point stands, The 1975's album reached #1, KSI's album reached #2, it's as simple as that.
I'm just going to end this discussion here & move on, I don't know why I'm giving this fanbase more attention that I need to!

I've liked every number one of 2020 so far apart from Roses and Toosie Slide
Fintendo
Toosie Slide has grew on me honestly, it is rumoured that it will be a dance in Fortnite!

A lot of people here love Rain On Me, donāt they lol. I like it too. Itāll either stay good or do a Blinding Lights and not age well imo. But for now, I like it!
J
Jstar
This is Gaga's and Ariana's 6th number 1 song in the U.K which ties Britney Spears. Gaga is also the first female this century to have a number 1 in the 00's, 10's and 20's now. Also with Gaga's album being released i won't be surprised if it repeats at number 1.
Fintendo
I feel its between that, Rockstar and potentially Sour Candy!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Their 6th EACH?! :O
J
Jstar
Yep, crazy right lol.
Cameron
Happy with Rain On Me being number one
Piran
No word of a lie, this might be my favourite week for the UK charts of 2020 so far! Iāll explain why in a few minutes. ;)
Also, did you guys know that 'Rain On Me' got the biggest opening week of streams ever for an all-female collaboration?
Not only that, but despite this being Lady Gaga's sixth UK #1 single, it's her first song ever to debut at #1!
J
Jstar
Hey Piran, i was really shocked by such a large debut. I definitely didn't expect 70k in its first week. It definitely exceeded many expectations. I think Shallow only did around 45k when it went number 1 so this is really impressive.
Piran
Hey Jstar! :)
Yeah, I was expecting around 55-60k based on BuzzJack's predictions, but not 70k.
Fingers crossed for it on the Hot 100 too!
J
Jstar
I expect it to do better numbers than what Simm was predicting as it got another nice boost from Sour Candy being released yesterday.
But I remember last week when we all thought Rockstar would remain at number 1. We definitely didn't see this coming. I did expect top 3 though which still would've been great.
Piran
Yeah, I genuinely did feel that 'Rain On Me' was heading for a #2 debut last week, but thank goodness I was proven wrong! :D
J
Jstar
I have no problem if Rockstar returns to number 1 next week. But I am just happy it got number 1 if it is only for a week.
Piran
I do think 'Rain On Me' could get a second week at #1 in the UK though, thanks to the release of 'Chromatica'! ;)
Of course... I'm waiting to hear your thoughts on the album now, haha.
J
Jstar
I am still favoring Rain on Me to repeat at number 1.
You will hear my thoughts later on in the week lol.
Rector
RAIN. ON. ME! Well deserved #1 for AriGaga!

What is going on here my friends, itās CoolOcelot back again with another review. Coming up, we have two pop idols, a YouTuber/rapper, a Eurovision entry (you read that right), a new DJ on the scene, and some dude called Niko B who did well on iTunes. Go on you all, give us your best shots and weāll see what happens.
Before I get into the singles part, I need to get into the albums part first and we had some genuinely horrible people on the Disqus page who were only trying to get Dissimulation to #1 only to see KSI shave his head (guys, KSI did NOT want that to happen, he feared it), and made some horrible comments towards fans of Agust D & The 1975. Well, Iām bringing news for all you trolls who wanted Baldski, NOACF got to #1, so haha to yous! :D And I sighed in relief because KSI didnāt want to be bald.
Now we can jump into the songs, lowest to highest this time.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Taking a fresh start at #39 is Niko Bās āWhoās That Whatās Thatā. I saw this high in the iTunes charts a few days ago but only listened to it today. The song has a groovy beat, but I donāt know how to feel about Nikoās delivery. Then we have the pattern of two verses and three choruses... where Niko mentions taking gherkins out of his Big Mac?! It doesnāt stand out from other rap hits but this song is good for a nice giggle. For that reason, strong 6/10!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Coming up from 41-36 is Surf Mesa & Emileeās first chart hit, āilyā, and as you can tell from my constant raving, this is the best of the week! I wasnāt sure how to feel about the vocals at first, but on second listen, they sound very pleasant! Iām also a huge fan of the production, it sounds so laidback and summery, with the acoustic guitars and tropical beats. Oh, Iām so glad this made the Top 40 in time for summer, because this is an incredible summer hit and Iāve streamed it over a dozen times each day. Very strong 9/10 here, love it to bits!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
Coming from 43-34 is Dani Fryerās āThink About Thingsā, Icelandās Eurovision entry. I donāt know, I donāt care for Eurovision as such, but Iām happy a Eurovision song is finally in the Top 40 after all this time! Hereās the thing, while the production comes across as funky with the likeable bass, I donāt know how to feel about the saxophone solos after the chorus. I do think itād sound well in the 70s though! Iām a bit mixed on the vocals, Dani either sounds unconvinced or fun. This isnāt the best Eurovision song Iāve heard this year (I prefer Tears Getting Sober personally) but this just gets a pass, strong 5/10.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
A fresh start at #27 is KSIās āKilla Killaā, featuring Aiyana-Lee. Man, Iām certainly liking this! KSI sounds very convinced in his bragging and brings an awesome flow. This is carried over a nice beat that wouldnāt sound out of place in a Stormzy song! Even Aiyana-Lee sounds awesome and a bit intense in the song! One thing I need to criticise is that the song is a bit short and I would like to hear more, but based on the songs quality, itās very good. Light 8/10!
š§” oliviasnoodles š
KSI makes another appearance in the chart at #24 with āCapā, this time with Offset... and no, Iām not liking this, itās the worst of the week. Does KSI need that much Autotune all over him? Heās brought out a flow that isnāt great either, but heās alright in the second verse. Offset doesnāt have enough added to him either (heās decent though), and I can barely hear him over the very fuzzy beat that didnāt sound clear to me at all! It drowns almost everything out. And why is the chorus that repetitive? Sorry, I liked Killa Killa (Houdini grew on me too) but I donāt see myself supporting this for a long time. Light 3/10.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
We get to the #1 song of the week. Itās āRain On Meā by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, and itās good but nowhere near as good as people are making it out to be. I think despite the great chemistry between Gaga and Ariana, the former manages to outshine the latter with her powerful voice during her parts. I think the drop would sound really good in a club, but the āRain... on... me!ā doesnāt sound very necessary. Iām gonna go into Chromatica when I can, but I like the aesthetic, and I like this a bit. Iām giving this a solid 7/10.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
And thatās it, I believe! If it makes you feel comfortable, Iām going easy on you all with Piranās Emoji Challenge to give you all a chance. Itās been fun producing this review, and Iāll see you guys soon! Also to KSI, your album is fire (minus Cap imo). Keep your hair and keep doing what you do, your channel is hilarious. :)
J
Jstar
Hey Coolocelot101, its alright, everyone won't love the song. But I am happy with the 7/10. That is still a very solid score.
geturfactstraight
KSI did not want hate on the others albums he clearly stated he wanted the other albums to go ahead of him. Maybe try and watch some of his videos to fact check.
š§” oliviasnoodles š
I know that, heās been promoting the other albums and doesnāt wanna go bald.
Geoffrey Etoru
Tbh use are kinda getting me angry seeing as even though I am a ksi fan I haven't been toxic towards anybody so u cant just profile everybody also I wanted him to go number 1 cause he deserved it and u lot also like rating his songs low not because of listening to them but because u hate the fanbase and artist. Dissapointed
š§” oliviasnoodles š
I didnāt say that to any KSI fans! I said āto all the trolls who wanted KSI to go baldā. And donāt get me wrong, I actually liked Dissimulation as an album. The only reason I rate a FEW of his songs low (like Cap) is because of the quality, though I rated Killa Killa an 8. Besides, his channel is awesome too!
Also, #2 is still a good result for KSI, and any artist in general.

Looking at Simm's predictions, I think we'll be having a double celebration for 'Rain On Me'! ;)

We might break another comment record haha. I am so ready to see Lady Gaga on top of the Billboard Hot 100 again! Sour Candy (Audio) is already 25 million on Youtube. Imagine what a music video could do. :)
