[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

All top three for Styles. Is this unprecedented?

[daf]

Just had a quick google, and it seems Justin Bieber did it first in January 2016 :

Bieber's ballad Love Yourself, co-written with Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco, ends the week at No 1, followed by Sorry at No 2 and What Do You Mean? at No 3. The Canadian pop singer has held at least one position in the singles chart top 5 since releasing What Do You Mean? in September.

[Reg Tits]

After all the hype about the Sex Pistols finally getting to number one they are at no 57. According to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Save_the_Queen_(Sex_Pistols_song) the single sold 5712 physical copies and had 259 downloads. Makes you wonder if there's any money in this game outside of top 5 songs.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I'm presuming the Metallica and Tears For Fears ones were in Stranger Things as well, or some Marvel thing or something.

[daf]

Yes, Tears for Fears and Journey are most likely a Stranger Things bump.

(Not sure about Metallica though - I found a 2022 official live version to link to - so maybe they've got a live album out or something?)

[dissolute ocelot]

A few months late, I've lately become weirdly obsessed with Jax Jones/MNEK's Where Did You Go, a poignant song about having a dance with a lady who buggers off immediately afterwards. Look at this video! That puffa jacket! That sad face! That green screen! Those video effects! As the cost of living crisis bites, soon all pop promos will be like this.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Somebody did a cover of Running Up That Hill, for no reason other than to cash in (I listened to ten seconds of it, it sounds identical). Fuck you, Kim Petras, whomever you are. Like, wasn't the original good enough? Arsehole.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Caption for picture:

"YOU CUUUUUNT!"

[Munique]

Having a 9 year-old daughter has afforded me the opportunity to keep up-to-date with today's chart doings. And whilst there's some worthwhile stuff in there ('knd, Styles, Hill), there's gallons of ear-rot too. Chief perpetrator is Aitch. Aka Shakin' Tunes. That kid needs harpooning. 'Psycho' is just horrible in every respect - a big, fat slice of 'will this do?' (For the record, no, it won't).

I was pleased to hear that he also has a tune out with the gnome-like, omnipresence of Feat. Ed Sheeran.

Oh well, I'll just go back to listening to the Now 1979 Yearbook (true - Kate Bush's 'Wow' is on - take that, pipsqueaks!)

[daf]

Loads of singles don't have a proper sleeve anymore - as they just release stuff on streaming platforms. Cobbled that one together myself - cropped into a square from a video still.

Getting bloody sick of autotune now! Everyone sounds EXACTLY like everyone else - it's getting like when every song in 1950s MGM musicals was ghost-sung by Marnie Nixon!

Lets hear your real voices - you can't ALL be shit!

[Munique]

Correction: George Ezra. That's the worst. Green Green Grass - having the simultaneous audacity to combine 'The Mighty Quinn' and Russ Abbott's 'Atmosphere' and sound worse than both.

I could go on...
