Looks something different its changing,dont know what but its nice to Madonna and Kylie(happy for both of them) still rule the charts with help or without help and i m sure that M hasnt say her last word

also is good to see Justin back in the top 40

i think we re gonna see many older names back in the charts

people just hate to see madonna win at this point. kylie wasn’t even involved or mentioned in any of the madonna news so why bring her up? 

instead of comparing x and y just celebrate your favourite artists’ success without bringing up another. trust me, you’ll be a much happier person. 

from my pov? well done to madonna for being a legend, well done to the weeknd for getting her there, and as for playboi carti… please drop that album. i know you gave us singles but we want them on spotify along with the album. please release it 🥺

well checking out the top 10, that's GREAT to see madonna in the top 10.  her debut album in 1983 was my very first album i ever bought, i was 8 yrs old that yr.  & madonna has been a lifelong idol of mine.  i've had the pleasure seeing her in the hot 100 top 10 many times over the years. 

ok, to the kylie minogue & madonna fans fighting each other...BOTH artists are great!  also, they're BOTH cool with each other and have a lot of respect for each other.  so why are you all fighting for?  there's room for the BOTH of them to succeed.  it's OK if madonna is in the top 10 & not kylie & vice versa.  if you want kylie in the top 10, then work harder to put her in the top 10.  but there's no need to fight with anyone over it.

hey what's up everyone!  have you all checked out justin timberlake's new music?  really good!  he's creating a lot of buzz here in the states.  i myself am gonna see him this summer in concert....can't wait!!  he's had an amazing career here in america and i've personally had the pleasure of seeing him on the billboard charts, esp. the hot 100 chart, since his very first u.s. hit 'i want you back' with nsync in 1998!  fun times!! 

also this time in 2000 over here, nsync's lead single off their huge album 'no strings attached', 'bye bye bye' was released.  peaked @ #4 on the hot 100 chart & they opened the 2000 american music awards.  they were hands down in my opinion, the HOTTEST act in the states that year!  the momentum they had was crazy!  the 'no strings attached' album sold 1.1 mill. copies the FIRST DAY! and sold 10 mill. albums in just 3 months!  yep!  i still remember the album locking the #1 spot on the billboard 200 albums chart for 8 straight wks.  

so everyone, i HIGHLY recommend you all checking nsync's past work, esp. the 'no strings attached' album.  that album was breaking all kinds of sales records over here and went on the become billboard's #1 album of the year.  back then, i had NO idea justin timberlake would later on become this huge solo artist!  the 2000's was a FUN decade over here to live in!  so much great music, hard to believe all that was 20+ yrs ago.  so here's nsync's performance @ the 2000 ama's for you all to check out: https://www.youtube.c*m/watch?v=B8GJlozLqzc

One more point on Madonna which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere, unless I've missed it... correct me if I'm wrong but the previous oldest female to have a top 10 single was Tina Turner with 'When The Heartache Is Over' in 1999, aged 59 years 11 months. So Madonna at 65 now holds this record too.

Never Be Alone already out of the top 40… this is Side Effects all over again, isn’t it 🫠

Maybe you should change your name to the Darkness. Not nice. 

Have to laugh at middle aged Kylie fans being ageist and calling Madonna 'Grandonna'.  Madonna has yet to become a grandmother and she will, one day.  Unlike the BARREN SPINSTER OF POP, who will never have grandchildren.  Oh, and Kylie fans have been calling Madonna 'Grandma' since her late 40s, what does that make the 55 year old, childless, maiden aunt?!

So happy Madonna is back in the Top 10, almost exactly 40 years after her first time!  Just like I was so happy when Kylie did this last year.

‘Padam’ actually stopped ‘Popular’ making the Top 10 on its first attempt (Padam was #10 and Popular was #11) which was difficult in terms of how I felt as a massive Kylie and massive Madonna fan! Situation resolved today :)

Not the Kylie and Madonna stans still going at each other on this site! 💀

Both of them have had fantastic careers and are incredibly influential women in the history of pop and disco music. Why can't you support your own favourite artists instead of finding excuses to trash others?

You'll find yourselves being a lot happier and much less of an embarrassment. 

Whether u like Kylie,madonna  or not.. hats off to them both 4 still doing what they do.. relevant or not.. the top 40 isn’t what it used to be..  how relevant even is the top 40… & pitting  them against each other.. disco dolly.. grandma.. popular or unpopular.. here we are talking about them.. 

What happened with the top 40 list? It shows new entries which coming from the top 100 of last week as “climbers”. Those are in fact New Entries in the top 40 and should be shown as NEW! This was the logic for the past 40 years since I started following uk charts… why change? Hope is just a site update mistake, please fix it.

I'm so happy Madonna (aka The Queen of Pop) scores her 64th UK top 10 hit (which already seems to be infuriating Kylie fans). lol

Chart Review 02/02/24

I thought about doing some wacky gimmick for this review but I decided not to.

Maybe next time. THIS TIME, though, it's time for another round of playing it straight. And by that I mean taking the micky out of whatever has breached the best-sellers every Friday, whilst complimenting the odd song every now and again. Such is the ways of the college student. Given I'm supposed to be making 10-second snippets of popular tunes, then raising or lowering the pitch by several octaves, it makes me look sorta lame. My reviewing technique is reminiscent of those somewhat tongue-in-cheek comments made by the NME in the late-90s, something the Internet Archive can tell you more about. Seriously, look up what they had to say about Moby's Play or The Seahorses's Do It Yourself and you have a good idea of what I'm about.

I'm also prone to going off-topic. Like right now. How 'bout I go ON-topic again, eh?

Noah Kahan is No.1 again. Shock horror. You can't actually see the surprise on my face because it's being drowned out by BOREDOM. For the first time this year, there are no actual big new entries to dent the Top 20. Slight problem, given that the 6 debutants this week range from the bland to OMIGOSH THESE LOT HAVE MORE RIZZ THAN MY PREVIOUS FAVE!!. Or something like that.

For now though, terrible records are back in fashion. Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder On The Dancefloor may be getting on people's nerves, but I'll take that any day over the utter dross that constitutes Lose Control. Seriously. Who can identify with that tune besides the mums, teens, and annoying relatives? 'Cause I can't. It doesn't help that news came in about TikTok banning anybody signed to Universal Records getting played on the site, meaning supporters of Swifty, O-Rod and Lana Del Rey are gonna have to reconsider their approach.

Oh, and The Weeknd has another Top 10 single. Can we talk about the positive stuff now? PLEASE!? I don't care if this is Madonna's first appearance here in 15 years, I've had enough of Abel Tesfaye never choosing when to quit. It's ridiculous. It's stupid. It's demoralising. And worst of all, it probably isn't even the last of it. If I was tasked with gunning down musicians, The Weeknd would be right up there. Behind Cian Ducrot, obviously. And Paul Russell. And Teddy Swims. And so on and so forth. By the way, it's now 64 Top 10 singles for Madonna, only Elvis and Cliff have more than her.

Might as well run through the other negative bits as quickly as possible then. Kygo's up twelve, a move which makes me want to exterminate the human race. Benson Boone slowly approaching the Top 10 is also very negative in my eyes, and can ACR come and zap some songs away now? I know it's finally caught a victim this year, in the form of Tyla's Water, but there's a fair few songs that are past their sell-by-date. Prada. Cruel Summer. greedy. Asking. I Remember Everything. DNA (Loving You). On My Love. Need I go on?

By the way, James Arthur has the No.1 album this week. I'm too disappointed in the likes of Tom Odell, The Reytons and The Smile to care. Especially the latter. They bottled their midweek lead. If you lose to a guy who's stubbed his toe more time since 2021 than he's had Top 40 hits, then you've completely shafted yourselves. Clearly the Radiohead side-project should retire off the back of this.

Can I continue yet? I can!? Took me long enough...

Leading the new entries, to the bemusement of everyone around, is the latest in a long lineage of Bob Marley descendants. Since the reggae legend popped his clogs, there's been Ziggy, Selah, Skip, and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley all releasing music to various levels of success. As far as the modern generation are concerned, they're too busy hyping up YG Marley, a guy whose debut release Praise Jah In The Moonlight has spiralled with TikTok virality, thanks to eerily sampling Grandad Bob's Jamming, even down to stealing the album's Amharic font on the cover. It also doesn't . Which is kind of a miracle when you think about it. Admittedly I loved Damian's 2005 Top 20 smash Welcome To Jamrock, but no else did, given he faded into obscurity shortly afterwards. Let's not make the same mistake happen twice with YG, alright? We could do with some Jamaican rhythms in the charts again.

So he's at 20, and at 22 is the debut effort from the latest in a long line of acts with potential scribbled all over themselves. Since 2003, BBC have been running their Sound Of.. thing, where 10 artists are put in the limelight, and everyone begrudges their songs with approval. Yet for every 50 Cent, Sam Smith, Years & Years or Lewis Capaldi there's a Jack Garratt. Or a Pa Salieu, an Octavian, or The Bravery, whose success stops at some point in March 2005 once An Honest Mistake sunbathed out of the Top 10. Given last year's winners, FLO, got as high as 38 with their songs, you could be forgiven for thinking this year's ascendants will end up as virtual unknowns again by 2025. Think again. London five-piece The Last Dinner Party are makers of a sound pitched somewhere between Wet Leg's gritty forest-filled stage presence, and Lungs-era Florence & The Machine with the amount of lyrics that need an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge to acquire. I also absolutely adore them, given I am the site's resident indie-know-it-all. Radio 1 B-listed effort My Lady Of Mercy is slightly better than this, but clearly everyone knows what song to put on TikTok right now as they clatter upwards to 22. Nothing Matters is just ace, there's no getting around it. The minute the swear-fuelled chorus hits the road you knew it was gonna go viral. Debut album Prelude to Ecstasy came out today, so expect this to be Top 20 next week. I hope.

As for the others, Megan Thee Stallion seems to be in a sort of limbo at the moment. Ever since WAP shot to the top in 2020, she's had it rough in terms of chart positions. Hotly-tipped Dua Lipa collab Sweetest Pie stiffed at 31 in 2022, last year's much-awaited Cardi B reunion song Bongos scraped to 35 last year, and numerous other efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Even her current tune, HISS, was positioned in the 50s midweek. Thankfully, said song crawls to 31, even though it probably should've done better. HISS is a diss track, mainly aimed at Nicki Minaj, but a few other people that don't really relate with her have been blamed as well. As for the tune itself? Yeah it alright. Could do without the shouting though, Megan. Kinda hard to listen to your tune when you're yelling 5 obscenities a second. Also entering the 40 whose name starts with M is Michael Marcagi, the latest TikTok folky balladeer newbie to throw his hat in the ring with Scared To Start. The song is more Zach Bryan than Noah Kahan when it comes to the quality side of things. And by that, I mean it SOOKS.

As for the others, we see the return of two chart stalwarts this week. First up is good old Skepta, a man who has actually been having hits for 14 YEARS. Good for him. I loved Shutdown and That's Not Me, and I have a soft spot for Make Peace Not War, even though I can see why nobody else did. After the Mas Tiempo-alias misstep that was the Amy Winehouse-trampling Can't Play Myself, his new one is a good return to hip-hop form. Gas Me Up (Dilligent) probably won't get higher than 32, but I like it none-the-less. Can't say the same for the other new hit though.

If you were Justin Timberlake right now, looking at how his first new track for 6 years has entered, what would you be thinking? Maybe you'd be questioning your fanbase, as to how everybody seems to have forgotten you had a new song out from an upcoming album (out next month). Or, you could be considering quitting altogether at the sight of how AWFUL this chart position is. Not to say that Selfish is bad or anything, it's just....BORING. And that's a word you don't associaite with Justin's lead singers. Like I Love You, Sexyback, Mirrors, heck, even Say Something were all memorable in their own little way. However, writing this review, I've already completely forgotten what Selfish sounds like. And that's just sad.

He did announce he'll be touring soon, so I guess that's good. Also You Me At Six broke up this week, but I don't think anyone here cares. I'm only saying this because someone in my college group loves them to bits, and doesn't shut up about how "YOU CAN FEEL THE LYRICS IN UNDERDOG AND ALL THAT". I don't like any of their stuff. I just think that they were a second-rate All-American Rejects. And no one wants to have THAT put on their career tombstone, no matter how many No.1 albums they had. (2, to be precise.)

Outside Da Fortee, and leading the potential hits parade is Yung Filly, who shoots to 49 with Grey, immediately identifying him as a Brit. Becuase we spell gray "GREY" over here. Nicki Minaj threw new single Big Foot out there midweek, so 56 is a completely justifiable position for her new tune, Renee Rapp and MTS shoot up to 61 with their Mean Girls duet thingy-ringy, Ice Spice returns at a lowly 75 (too many female rappers this week I presume), meanwhile all the other hits are absolute nonsense. Can someone PLEASE note me as to why Home by Good Neighbours is at 81? 'Cause I do not get it. TikTok virality is at fault for Empire of the Sun's Top 20 smash We Are The People from 2009 jumping back in at 79, meanwhile the other three entrants are the cause of totally hip and definitely not offensive animated charade Hazbin Hotel, a YouTube series that has more views than these reviews will ever get, and given it's now on Amazon Prime, a whole new audience. EPs of songs from these episodes hit iTunes, which explains why the hits at 77, 96 and 98 have ended up where they are. So good for them I s'pose.

Now leave me alone, I'm sick of talking about these songs.

(P.S. Apart from the music scene, January sucked, didn't it? And I don't think February is gonna be much cop either, compared to what the past few years have thrown at us. Eh. Maybe it can prove me wrong. Even though they won't.)

Go Madonna!

No way Ice Spice's new single actually managed to chart! 😭

Good to see 'Escapism' back in though and hopefully it'll rebound a lot next week with the release of the 4am remix. 

oh how i hate what david guetta has done to dance-pop. whatever and alibi are awful. and im glad david kushner didn’t stay for long because i do not see the appeal to his music

OMG POISON AT 96?! :0 that’s amazing!! hazbin hotel was amazing like i hoped and cant wait to watch the finale later tonight.

Shame that ‘Water’ is now on ACR but it had a very successful run for a solo amapiano hit and at least it’s still here. ‘Skin and Bones’ would’ve been downgraded to Awful had it lasted another week.

Very happy that ‘Hiss’ made it into the Top 40… especially over ‘Big Foot’! 😩

Top 40 Rankings: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4e66bab2e6485332df884891f7ac01e4ea756cdf98838aca7a26b2ee638b50ba.png

hiss in the top 40 here is awesome, but i’m ROOTING for it to be a billboard number 1. i would LOVE to see nicki minaj’s face if it happens. she’ll burst blood vessels, im telling you.

Good to see The Last Dinner Party still climbing up the chart.

Their new single reminded me of something that Florence + The Machine would do and I mean that as a massive compliment to them since they’re one of my favourite British groups! 😁

Glad to see ‘Popular’ finally in the Top 10. Madonna’s first appearance in the region since 2009 and her 64th overall! ❤️

Getting tired of ‘Stick Season’ now. It’s time for a new #1, preferably 'Murder On The Dancefloor'.
