Yeah, we got so many this week. I don't think we'll break it for a while, but I think we can consistently get 1000 comments at least.

Here are the teams for tomorrow's Emoji Challenge...

TEAM 1: George & Coolocelot
TEAM 2: Unverification & Dami
TEAM 3: Cameron, MusicLover & Mateusz

As one team (Team 3) has three members, while the others have two, Team 1 & Team 2 will have their totals multiplied by 1.5 when the results are published.

The Emoji Challenge will be at 6:30pm (UK Time) tomorrow. If you can't make it anymore, or your name isn't here but you'd like to participate, then please let me know & I'll rearrange the teams! :)

That moment when you upload a new personal chart, but forget that 'Take Care Of You' & 'Smile' exist! :P

Oh well, if I remember next Thursday, they'll both be debuting higher to compensate for that! They're both incredible songs after all, haha.

Speaking of which, here is the chart: https://crownnote.com/charts/piran-delves/pirans-top-50-23

GUYS, TAYLOR SWIFT IS RELEASING A NEW ALBUM TOMORROW!!! :D

Wait what?

Piran

It’s called ‘Folklore’ & it’ll have 16 tracks on it (potentially a return to traditional country?).

Definitely the biggest surprise of 2020 so far, but also one of the best ones! :D

avatar

⁉️

Sounds good, I'm excited for it. Especially the one with the Bon Iver feature.

Yeah, an absolute massive suprise to me, although it does Cruel Summer will never be a single.

avatar

Piran

0

Oh yeah, I'm disappointed that 'Cruel Summer' will never become an official single, a new album this soon totally makes up for it! ;)

avatar

⁉️

1

That's true, official singles aren't really that important anyway.

Excited for the album! :)

avatar

Piran

0

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced she kept 'Cruel Summer' as an unreleased track to make more people go out & buy the album!

If she had officially released it, then listeners would be more likely to just put the radio on or watch an official audio on YouTube.

Either way, I'm looking for tomorrow for many reasons, haha! :D

Today's update from BuzzJack has 'Head & Heart' only 900 combined sales behind 'Savage Love'.

Speaking of Joel Corry...

So I’m not sure if you’ve heard my thoughts on Pour The Milk, but that song was meh to me at best. The Joel Corry remix though, is amazing! :)

Cameron

I really like Head & Heart and I hope it becomes number one but I have a feeling I will become bored of it in a couple of weeks

avatar

Piran

0

If I ever become bored of 'Head & Heart', it's because I've been overplaying it on both YouTube & hearing in it too much on the radio.

As I'd currently rate it a 10/10, it would have to be literally inescapable for me to have any chance of getting tired of it, haha! :P

avatar

Cameron

1

I've been streaming Head & Heart on Spotify a few times a day to try and get it to number one.

But in terms of overplayed songs, Blinding Lights was released in November and I'm still not bored of listening to that yet.

Haha, I'm also still loving 'Blinding Lights' despite its overplay! :P

Also 'Happier' was Bastille's third #2 song in the UK after 'Pompeii' and 'Of The Night' in 2013. I hope they get a #1 single at some point.

The Lily Allen cover of Somewhere Only We Know is brilliant, sure, but it baffles me that Of The Night never got to number 1!

Yeah Of The Night sold around 600 copies less than Somewhere Only We Know. I like the Lily Allen cover as I loved the John Lewis advert but I prefer the original Keane song.

Haven't heard from them in ages. They need more hits, maybe even with this song.

I have tried listening to this song Cheat Codes is great producer but this one 3/10 I'm sorry Piran

avatar

Piran

1

No need to be sorry! We can't agree on everything, haha.

To be honest, I supported this one in particular more because of Kim Petras! :P

I hope so! :D

Besides, Kim Petras is way too talented to not have any hits.

I did see Malibu in the iTunes top 40 for a moment, but that only lasted a day.

'Malibu' has been selling decently as of late though, so I can only hope that at least gets her into the Official Chart soon.

avatar

Piran

0

Her only other hope at the moment is 'Broken Glass' with Kygo, given that his new album is still fairly recent.

That being said, he's too busy with 'What's Love Got To Do With It' & 'Lose Somebody' at the moment! :P

avatar

Brandon Mwinga

True i was going to ask you a question which artist would you listen to even if the song it's boring hahaha I have 3 artists even if their song is boring I love it haha

avatar

1

It could go popular on TikTok, or I see it being his next single.

avatar

⁉️

1

For me it's Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug and Dua Lipa.

avatar

Piran

I hope so! :)

That being said, the very best tracks from an album always seem to miss the radio push they need, e.g. 'Levitating' from 'Future Nostalgia', 'Cruel Summer' from 'Lover', etc.

I'd say that Taylor or Camila could still impress me even if they released something boring, haha! :P

avatar

🧡 oliviasnoodles 🍜

Billie Eilish, Halsey, Juice WRLD, and Eminem.

I actually prefer Good In Bed for Future Nostalgia and the title track for Lover, but the point stilt stands because they didn't get big either.

Halsey and Eminem aren't releasing good music right now for me, and Juice features on a load of absolute garbage.

I don't think he will, he just announced an album actually.

Haha, that's why 'Love Lies' is your #1 song of all-time! :P

With 'Lover', I thought it was released as a single, even if it might've only been a promotional one.

Unfortunately, 'Good In Bed' is by far my least favourite track from 'Future Nostalgia' with a light 4/10, haha! :P

Yah from both of them yep as a collaboration I agree but it is close to number 1 haha

Agree on Ego Death though, amazing song.

I think him, Avicii and Marshmello are my favourite DJs.

Marshmello's definitely deserving of all his success, but I'm not sure his DJ sets in clubs are up there with some of his peers.

A lot of his pop or mainstream hits are certainly on their level though, sometimes even above it! :D

Firestone is Kygo's best song imo

All of his music sounds the same to me, especially his hits.

His only good song is Project Dreams with Roddy Ricch in my opinion.

Honestly, 'Steal Her Man' makes Rebecca Black sound like Whitney Houston! :(

'Friday' is a light 3/10 for me, but 'Steal Her Man' is a -1000/10, haha.

This on the other hand, sounds like Friday was sung by Billie Eilish!!

3/10 is very generous

avatar

Piran

0

Oh, it's a really bad song, sure, but I think the hate Rebecca Black has got for making it is way too extreme to be honest, e.g. death threats.

avatar

Cameron

1

Oh yeah the death threats were disgusting, it wasn't like she was deliberately trying to make a bad song, it just ended up being really bad and she was really young at the time

It's like 'Baby'... extremely cringeworthy, but I can't get overly mad at a guy in his early teens for making a song like that.

'Yummy' on the other hand... >:(

Firstly, we'll see how many people want to participate next week!

If we get an even number, I'll split everyone into teams of two, but if we get a number where I can't split the groups equally, then no worries, as I've got a solution to that.

I'll announce who the teams are next Thursday, post the Emoji Challenge as normal on Friday, then the teams will work together to guess as many correct as possible!

They'll then have the opportunity to share their victory in terms of the leaderboard! So, for example, if you're in the same team as Coolocelot & you guys win, you'll both get three points towards the leaderboard. :)

First off, and its not even about songs in the Top 40, Paul Woolford & Diplo's collab 'Looking For Me' is in at number 74 at the moment - it's by far one of my favourite songs at the moment and I really hope it manages to crack the Top 40. Definitely listen to it if you haven't yet!

Joel Corry zooming up to #3 with Head & Heart is the highest both Corry and MNEK have ever got in the UK Charts - this one going to Number 1 would be amazing, and would be well deserved for both of them.

Heaven On My Mind also rebounds into the chart at #31 which I'm happy to see because, while I prefer Wish You Well, I didn't think it deserved to fall out of the chart so soon - Becky Hill truly is a talented singer!

Also, Fake Friends is finally in the Top 40 - it's definitely took a while and I'm hoping to see this one keep going up over the next couple of weeks.

One song I think will chart next week is Kygo's latest song, What's Love Got To Do With It with the legendary Tina Turner!!!!!! Its definitely a late contender for song of the summer, and it would be great to see this one do as well as Higher Love!

Yeah, I was quite a big fan of him, but I loved him even more after Eternal Atake.

As for Halsey, agree that she has good range, but that's the only thing going for her for me. Her music just really annoys me.

Fun facts:
- 'Head & Heart' doubled its chart sales from last week, selling 41.5K compared to 20.2K last week.
- Juice Wrld now becomes the 15th artist to land a posthumous #1 album, the 28th in chart history and the first since George Michael's reissued 'Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1' in October 2017 and the first collection of original material since Viola Beach's self-titled album in August 2016.
- Nine other album tracks from 'Legends Never Die' would chart somewhere in the Top 50. His highest non-charting track is Conversations, which would sit at #20.

Here’s what I think of the new entries:
- PS1 ft Alex Hosking - Fake Friends (Light 9/10)
- M1llionz - B1llions (Strong 3/10) [WORST OF THE WEEK]
- D-Block Europe - Plain Jane (Strong 4/10)
- Juice WRLD ft Halsey - Life’s A Mess (Light 10/10) [BEST OF THE WEEK]
- Juice WRLD & Marshmello - Come & Go (Solid 8/10)
- Juice WRLD - Wishing Well (Strong 6/10)

Fake Friends sounds reminiscent of Joel Corry in a way, and I seem to like Alex singing about fake friendships and trying to be like others. B1llionz would have been decent for me if the chipmunk noise didn’t ruin everything! D-Block Europe are making the same songs every time at this point with Plain Jane, with the same clunky trap style and Young Adz sounding monotonous. Life’s A Mess is just a beautiful trap song, especially when Halsey sounds so heavenly on this, I also love Juice’s laidback flow. Come & Go may sound different but I meant that in a good way. Then Wishing Well kinda reminds me of Robbery in a way, it may be the worst track on the album but it’s still pretty decent.

Oh and here’s a song that only peaked at number 89 and deserves a top 40 placing and longevity:

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (17/07/2020 - 23/07/2020)

Honestly, looking through this new chart, it’s not much different from last week at all! I mean, the biggest takeover as a result of a new album was a posthumous release for an upcoming American rapper that died way before their time, some other American & British urban music debuting lower down, as well as the focus elsewhere being on a couple of EDM newcomers.

What’s also not changing is ‘Savage Love’ at #1! That being said, its time at the top might be a bit more limited than I first thought. I mean, I can’t see that it’s currently dominant in any one format & it’s lost a surprising amount of radio momentum too!

Of course, I’m not about to complain when the song that’s on course to take its title is the 10/10 smash that is ‘Head & Heart’! Not only is it extremely rare to see EDM songs reach the Top 3 in their second week in 2020, but it’s also leapfrogged ‘Savage Love’ on airplay, while also out in front on iTunes & Apple Music by a considerable margin.

Hopefully we can celebrate that going to the top next week, however, once again, there are a few new arrivals to deal with before we can even start to think about that!

Now, the big story of this week are the tributes to Juice WRLD, which allowed him to land the three highest debuts of the week! As usual, because they’re effectively caused by an album bomb, I’ll try to keep the track reviews a bit shorter here. Anyway, we’re starting off on a really strong note, as the highest charting of all the tracks is also the best one on the album! Juice WRLD’s slower, soulful & more chilled delivery makes him sound a lot like Post Malone on this one; an artist I’ve really grown to like over the years! That being said, being an EDM fan, I adore Marshmello’s part too. I feel he’s been taking a more rock approach with his discography & it’s not much different here with the grungy guitar riffs! They do feel a bit abrupt in the first verse, but the build-up & especially the drop in the second gives this song the energy it needs. Honestly, if Juice WRLD had made more music when he was alive, I might actually have checked out more of his music, because this is very impressive! Light 9/10 for ‘Come & Go’.

Then there’s ‘Life’s A Mess’ with Halsey, which takes a much more serious & gentle tone! The production might be incredibly faint here until the slightly distorted & fuzzy hook, but I’ve got to admire Juice WRLD’s sincerity here. See, this is where rappers making deep content actually stands out to me! Besides, Juice WRLD is the only reason that ‘Without Me’ was tolerable (sorry Coolocelot!), but this time, I actually wish we heard more of Halsey here. She sounds amazing, but her breathy & angelic vocals don’t get enough recognition until the very end of the song! Those strings in the end are also really heart-hitting, especially for his die-hard fans. Again, this was better than expected, so I’m giving it a strong 7/10!

The last Juice WRLD entry today is ‘Wishing Well’... can he make it three out of three for me? Eh, okay, I’ll give him a pass for this, but it’s not one of the highlights of the album for me! I’ve actually seen people link this to ‘Robbery’ given Juice WRLD’s wailing delivery & while they’re not exactly wrong (this is still by far the biggest issue with this song!), he’s at least showing a lot more passion here. In fact, with the bubbly yet gentle trap beat, this was constructed in a way that allows the listener to focus on Juice WRLD himself more! I’m glad they did though, because man, the lyrics hit hard here & I imagine it’s one of the hardest songs emotionally for people who were close to him to listen to. The fact that he’s frustrated but determined to turn his live around shows how hard he was truly fighting to overcome his drug attention & he references this elsewhere in the content, showing incredible self-awareness, even during such a tough time! He knows what he's doing is wrong, but he wants to make it right. While this song isn’t going to bring him back to life, I’d like to think it can help save the lives of others going through the same thing as him! Yeah, despite what I’ve been told about this from others, this is a massive improvement over ‘Robbery’. I’m not sure this is going to stick around like the other two songs of his I just reviewed unfortunately, but it’s still not bad though, so I’m thinking a strong 6/10! No surprises that he took the #1 album this week. Most importantly though, RIP Juice WRLD!

Hey, even though his album came out last week, it would appear that we’re not done with Pop Smoke, because ‘Mood Swings’ apparently had enough consistency to sneak into this chart! As you might remember, I was kind of indifferent on ‘Shoot For The Stars’ as a whole & I haven’t heard enough of Lil Tjay to have much of an opinion on him, so I thought it was best to go in without expectations here… but man, this ended up being fairly positive as a whole. Some critics have actually made 50 Cent comparisons here, to which I actually kind of agree with, especially when Pop Smoke steps away from rapping & sings on the hook! Lil Tjay is a fine enough fit, but I don’t think he has enough presence to truly hold up over this old-school, laid-back production. That being said, while it doesn’t seem like it’ll have very high replay factor, I will say that I’m surprised it didn’t chart last week! I’m giving this a strong 6/10.

Fine, let’s get the new D-Block Europe song out of the way next! Unsurprisingly, given the number of times this group has disappointed me, I only heard it for the first time during the chart show on Radio 1 today. Anyway, my thoughts after hearing this is that it’s just more disposable than outright bad! Their use of a really muddy trap beat isn’t exactly revolutionary, with the most interesting production feature being the more sinister bass that comes in a bit later on, as it at least gives this song a bit more substance. That being said, it doesn’t add much when both artists are slathered in autotune & talking about all the girls they’ve got with! At least their lyrics are a bit more open about the struggles they faced on the streets, but unfortunately, I get the feeling that I’m going to forget this one even exists by the time the weekend’s over & given the number of low charting entries this duo have, it’s going to be a monthly duty covering their songs at this point… joy. Why couldn’t the new Kid Cudi & Eminem collaboration have made it instead? As for this, light 4/10!

Anyway, I’ve saved a club banger for last again, as ‘Fake Friends’ finally makes its long overdue entrance! I’ve actually got two people to thank for this; 1) Riley, for always being observant of new upcoming bangers & 2) Capital FM playing this almost on an hourly basis! Anyway, I say “thank”, because I’ve been obsessed with this one for a while now, haha. I like the sudden burst of euphoria with that rousing piano melody, along with Alex's commentary on her fake friends, as well as the perception that their lives are better than hers! However, while the content might sound incredibly serious, the chorus is extremely addictive (mainly thanks to that vocal hook), but it’s the blazing bass tucked in beneath all of that makes this an immediate party anthem. I don’t know if it’ll hold up with the very best EDM hits of 2020, but given how fun & fresh it sounds, this is still a highly credible effort! Strong 8/10.

Speaking of new dance songs, it’s cool to see ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ moving closer to the Top 20, but outside of that, I’m not too happy to see ‘Rover’ hit ACR. I honestly thought the latter would’ve been #1 for at least a week!

As for next week, it could be an interesting one, as Kygo attempts to revive another 80s classic following the success of ‘Higher Love’, Anne-Marie & Doja Cat team up on a new song, DJ Khaled returns out of nowhere & Ellie Goulding releases her first studio album in five years.

Until then, I hope you all have a good week ahead! :)

EDIT: Yes, I know I forgot to fully review 'B1llionz', but that just shows you how immediately forgettable this song is. Not even the slightly groovy drill beat can save the whole song from sounding a mess, especially with M1llion's hollow flow & those incredibly irritating chipmunk vocals. Strong 2/10 for this one!

Great review. Agree with all the scores, apart from maybe Wishing Well, which I'd put a bit higher.

Thanks Unverification! :)

I think 'Wishing Well' might grow on me, but I'm glad we agree with everything else.

I think Savage Love won’t hold up with Head & Heart on it’s tail. I also think Rockstar may get ACR’d soon unfortunately. Mate, I really wish Juice WRLD was alive to see that light 9/10! :D

“Besides, Juice WRLD was the only reason that ‘Without Me’ was tolerable”... nah, with or without him, it’s one of my favourite pop songs of all time! Halsey’s passion in that song is just incredible.

I also agree that The Adventures Of Moon Man & Slim Shady should have made it, that would have got a strong 7/10, which is an improvement from the 4/10 I’d give Plain Jane.

Oh, regarding B1llionz: Don’t be surprised at all if it gets on my nerves. All I’ve heard today was “It was such a lovely day, I was in a small cafeee...” It’s like a tattoo on my brain! :P

I think 'Head & Heart' is replacing at #1 next Friday too, but I guess we should get a better idea of that a little later! :P

Speaking of which, I think your jaw will drop when you see my predictions for that song on my personal chart & no, it's not a typo, haha.

'Come & Go' is definitely my favourite Juice WRLD song to date & I think it might grow on me even more!

I knew we were going to disagree on 'Without Me', but I'm sorry, for as much as you'd give it a 10/10, the original was far from Halsey's best (even if it wasn't precisely bad).

I'm glad we agree on the rap songs though!

You're welcome! :D

It seems like a lot of radio stations are on board with 'Fake Friends' now, so I'm hoping it'll be another slow burner like most EDM hits in the chart right now.

Thanks Dami! :D

I always appreciating seeing these kind of comments.

Man, you must be overplaying that song so bad.

Haha, I definitely am! :P

It's got almost a 5:1 over 'Heaven On My Mind' at #2, which is probably a Crown Note record.

I really want that song to become a hit too, but given that it only just about debuted in the Top 100 last week, I don't think it will get any bigger unfortunately! :(

Idk, it’s actually getting a lot of radio promo in the UK. Maybe with the video and some playlisting it can become a hit. Her label isn’t doing anything right

It's doing really well on airplay, sure, but radio doesn't count towards the UK charts.

Amazing video too, I relate to both sides.

I can definitely relate to both sides as well, haha.

So was today your last day of school for the year then, or is that next week?

Yeah, plus, 'Head & Heart' is already his highest charting song to date! :D

Hope it knocks 'Savage Love' off no 1! Can't believe it knocked LADY GAGA off no 3! On a dance-related note, PS1 in top 40! wahooo! I don't have to cry lol!

avatar

Piran

I think it's getting there next week or the week after, but given its momentum, it'll more than likely be leading by next Friday!

It would probably be one of my favourite #1's of the year if that does happen, maybe even the favourite. :)

Piran

I'm glad 'Fake Friends' finally made it too! :D

I think 'Head & Heart' has a really strong chance of being #1 next week! I'm going to play it like a hundred times over the next few days to make sure it gets there, haha.

I gotta hope this summer will have nice weather and nice tunes. ;)

In the meantime, things might be looking a bit more promising for my future too.

I basically had to go back for two days a week, just to try and get my brain pumped again.

Haha, I like how each side of the video has a different meaning, but they still had so much fun making this! :D

What's also a weird coincidence is that Joel Corry's shirt says "FADED"... look at what my #2 song of the week is, haha.

It is a dark moment on the planet, and the world looks to the UK for its pop and dance music, but the trap and hip hop paid for by the United States is losing the identity of what we loved so much !! It is a sadness, thanks to GOD, Regard AND JOEL CORRY ARE IN THE TOP 10.. I THINK LIKE YOU
