Now you're the one offending me by claiming that i don't believe in God. I go to mass everyday and pray the rosary every night before bed. I also never eat meat on Fridays and intend to save myself for marriage. I am VERY hurt by the way you are insulting MY faith. But this is not the proper forum for you to be singling me out or for this type of discussion.


All I said was to grow up because you are misunderstanding art and calling it satanism. You missed the point completely (both hers and mine). That's all.

well thats even worse! put it this way christians get hated A LOT in music your religion doesent! theres tones of people doing satanic stuff i have too defend my religion daily you dont see anyone else in music go and (insert your religion) is bad i worship (diffrent religion) but it happens too me all the time! so no im not offending you i dont believe what you believe do you see my insulting you? NO! stop trying too get sympathy for yourself im not dumb i never insulted you

Whatever. Shut up already, you immature, unbearable, self-righteous narcissist.

Go back to playing with your barbie dolls and never address me again, please. 

I will not read any replies you post from now on, so save yourself some time and don't bother.

You say you're not unintelligent, but your grammar and diction leaves a lot to be desired. Learn the difference between things like "too" and "to" (and "two," just in case). Your punctuation is also atrocious, by the way.


And I'm a Christian, in case you didn't notice. Clearly you don't know a thing about your own religion.

what's everyone's thoughts on the new britney single 'mind your business'?  i think it's very bland & boring.   i'm a huge fan of hers, but her past music is much better.

and any new news on flo?  i sure am rooting for them here in the states & hope they can become big over here.  the billboard hot 100 chart is dying for a dominant female group.

As much as i love BRITNEY as you do, i have to agree with you but i really like WILL's verse...

Mate, what are you on? 😭

While Frank has a point about you posting so many comments every week (I counted nearly a dozen posts), I don't agree with the way he addressed it to you and I certainly don't agree with how he's behaved as a person. 

Regulars of this channel will know that I was one of the first people to call him out on his comments (some of which have been FAR worse from this) since he started becoming a troll in 2020. 

If you have to know, I went for a walk then watched football while all these comments were being made. I haven't even checked the site since I posted my personal chart last night.

You've randomly had it in for me ever since I started doing my old reviews a few years ago, so I feel like this is just an attempt at gaslighting me and I'm afraid it isn't going to work x

i don’t think her current controversy is the reason, but the fact that song (as well as the other four barbie songs) are remaining stable shows you just how popular the film is right now

especially when the film is really good (i thought oppenheimer was better tho 🫢)

Finally, out of Disqus (RIP, Techfan!) ... Anyway, I see Rich Men North of Richmond managed to debut at #64 which isn't quite as bad as Last Night reaching the top 40 a few weeks back. The former song has been quite the topic of discussion at Pulsemusic.

Also, regarding the women dominating much of the top 10 this week reminds me of a similar phenomenon a few years back in the Hot 100.

I would like to give a shoutout to Piran and hope to be more involved in commenting here.

i haven’t listened to the richmond song, but i’ve looked up the lyrics on genius to see if it’s as bad as try that in a small town… it’s not, but his choice of words was a bit clumsy. i absolutely get the points made about the hard-working poor tho

but like i said to piran, the charts really do not need to be full of songs endorsed by looney conservatives

Chart Update 18/08/2023

That No.1 sounds different, dunnit?

Yep, you heard me correctly. There is a song that is now more popular than Sprinter. It's a situation that would've been unfathomable, erm.., 2 weeks ago, but thanks to the joys and thrills of ACR(accelerated chart ratio, for those who don't know, if a song that's been around for several months dips in sales for 3 weeks in a row, its streams get sliced like sushi and it slips numerous places), there is a different chart topper. And, as Ernie K-Doe once famously sang, Here Come The Girls. (yes, I know the Sugababes also sang that part, but that ain't important).

The whole Top 8 consist of tracks that are G-fuelled by the feminine race, easily making it the most 1-sided chart showdown in gender history. And yeah, the OCC are only counting it as the Top 6, due to the fact that Aqua and Chase & Status aren't exactly "girl-bands", but the record still stands. So there. Take that, men. Including me. Which I am slightly disappointed about.

So let's start with the bloomin' obvious. After 3 weeks of playing second fiddle, Billie Eilish can officially become head honcho of the second fiddle. By that I mean she now has her 2nd UK No.1. I mean, yeah, but, I was rooting for Dua Lipa in all of this, and now I'm gutted. to be me, I guess. Ms. E's last chart-topper was No Time To Die. Which was ALSO a soundtrack single. Do you see why these chart movements upset me yet? Anyways, yeah, What Was I Made For slaps its way to the top thanks to the nutters at Spotify, cruelly denying Dua Lipa HER (solo) second chart-topper with Dance The Night. A song which is now so old, it's not even on the Radio 1 playlist anymore. You wonder why they play Royal Blood so much nowadays, when even they can't get a Top 100 single. Weird.

In other news, Calvin now has a 30th Top 10 single, which is great, but Desire sadly leaves a lot to be desired in my end. The main criticism here? It steals the four-beat cymbal slap from every Joel Corry song ever. And that is inexcusable. But in more exciting news, O-Rod keeps slogging, and I for one, am all for it. Her second song from upcoming sophomore effort GUTS is bad idea right?, and with it, her fanbase is officially divided. Why? Erm... it sounds like Wet Leg. I know. Massive controversy over in the States for trying to get chart with something that sounds eerily like , but at least she's striving to be different. And that will be crucial when I'm filing my list for the best songs of 2023. 8.6/10. The only minor quibble is that fades out at the end. My least favourite musical cliché.

In other news, Fred Again.. is suddenly a really popular guy. Which we've known about for like a year, what with Turn Out The Lights Again and Rumble both making decent impacts on our lives, but now he has his biggest offering yet, in the form of adore u, which features some lad called Obongjayar. Idk why they hired him either, but unfortunately, when listening to the chart show, the song just flew over my head and made no lasting impact. I'm sorry, Fred. I know you tried really hard...

But I don't care. 5.3/10.

You could say the same for the rest of the new hits in the Top 40, because in my humble and definitely unbiased opinion, most of them are, in a way, tripe. The only one I could give any minor kerfuffles over is Issey Cross, whom you may know her from Wilkinson's Used To This fron last year, but now looks to be giving me migraines for the next few months. Bittersweet Goodbye samples Bittersweet Symphony, which is just quite blasphemous. But you know, the song's fine or whatever. That's it. It's just FINE. Leave Me Alone. 5/10.

On a less positive note, 2 of the other 3 newbies are covers, which is just great, The only original song here is Asking, thus making us witness the return of the man who made Back & Forth, MK. Oh, and also Sonny Fodera, but as this is generic dance, you know exactly what rating this song is getting. 5. This rating can also be used for the new hit at 32. Prada, by some guy called Casso, who saw fit to to make a dance song out of Ferrari Horses by D-Block Europe & RAYE. The one DBE hit I like, and he's just gone and smashed it against a wall. Swell. I'll take 7 white labels, please. (those are discs of songs that DJs play, if you're not cultured. It's definitely not racist or anything)

Even less positively, we must force ourselves to come to terms with the career of Luke Combs. You know him. Country star, the Morgan Wallen it's okay to like, has had a few Top 10 albums already. I mean, I hate country, so I just see him as a little rash on my shoulder that I can't seem to shake off. This has also happened to his cover of Tracy Chapman song, which has been around for TWENTY-ONE WEEKS, and only NOW decides to make the Top 40. Can you tell I hate this song yet? 3/10.

Down on the album chart, I was seriously praying. Begging. BLEEDING for The Hives to grasp their way to the top with The Death of Randy Fitzsimons. But alas, that didn't happen. Still though, best album performance in their history, so they can't be too sad right? They lose out to Liam Gallagher, who clearly isn't affected by his brother having a flop album (in Oasis terms, anyway), as his Knebworth set from NOT 1996 slams its way to the top. Having said that, the Oasis '96 gig didn't get to No.1 in 2021, so I guess he'll be happy or whatever.

Cian Ducrot falls to 55 by the way. Good.

As for the rest of the chart, J Hus is on ACR which , Fredo's new album (at 9) sees some minor entries, and Digga D doesn't get anywhere. So overall, rap has had better days. The only other new hit is of more intrigue than all the other hits this week. A song called Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony Music has been on top of iTunes all week, which logically sees it enter at 64 today. I don't know why it's here, but apparently it's a "right-wing anthem" on Wikipedia, and it mentions the kind of stuff that your mum thinks is inappropriate in this day and age, so it probably isn't a good song. Just a thought.

And that is it for today. I'll be back next week. When, hopefully, the backlash surrounding a man singing about how "dollar ain't you-know-what" dies down. Ta.


(P.S. No song at the moment really looks like climbing into the Top 40 at the moment. Which is a little dumb, but that's the fault of the likes of Miley, Taylor and co. who just have too much popularity. And given Miley has a new song out today, that isn't going to change.)

You couldn't be more nailed on with No.6 if you scribbled on it with permanent marker.

I am a little sickened by how much you hate No.8, though. I know Becky Hill can be a bit rage-inducing, but she's not that bad, surely.

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds No.9 formulaic.

It's not even the website. I'd argue that's actually an upgrade over the previous one. It's just the commenting system that's effectively broken.

J'espère qu'il ne se passera rien de mal pendant votre pause!

De plus, mes résultats d'examen sont le semaine prochaine, donc Jeudi peut être un peu atroce.

(in English, this means 'I hope nothing wrong happens during your break! Also, my exam results are next week, so Thursday may be a little excruciating.)

Presque juste, Alfie.

Semaine est un mot féminin, donc c'est la semaine, et en Français les jours sont sans majuscule.

Mais quand même je vous donne 9,8/10. ;)

(in Enghlish: Almost correct, Alfie. Week is a female word in French, thus it is "la", and weekdays don't have a Capital, i.e. jeudi.

However, you deserve at least a 9.8/10!

Good job!)

And as I was raised in French and Dutch, please, feel free to correct my poor English.

Awesome that ‘Prada’ debuted in the Top 40!

I wasn’t sure what to expect out of a dance remix of ‘Ferrari Horses’ (my favourite DBE song), but the result turned out to be a real positive! Hope it becomes a hit. :)

Also ‘The Weekend’ hung on in there. Good week to be a RAYE fan! 😁

In terms of DBE, my favourite would either ber 'Overseas' or 'Pakistan' but 'Ferrari Horses' is definitely up there. As for Raye, she's gunna be big in the years to come now.

Congratulations to her on a second #1 single with one of her best songs to date!

Would love to see ‘Dance The Night’ eventually make it now though. Dua is definitely due another solo chart-topper to make up for ‘Don’t Start Now’ and ‘Levitating’ missing out.
