Don't wanna do a review this week. Mainly because of important business going on involving the fact that college exams are biting at my heels, but also because if I say anything about Eurovision I'll get bodied just because I don't have an opinion on Israel. Anyways, here's my personal rankings:

AMAZIN DAT TIER:

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe [20] (NEW NO.1 LADS. SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.)

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten [29]

Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy) [4]

GREAT, UNLIKE A LOOT CRATE TIER:

Beyoncé - TEXAS HOLD 'EM [38]

Baby Lasagna (Eurovision 🇭🇷) - Rim Tim Tagi Dim [36] (This should've won Eurovision. No question about it. Either them or Ireland.)

Taylor Swift ft. Post Malone - Fortnight [8]

Bakar - 'Ell N Back [31]

Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso [1]

I AM QUITE THE FAN OF THESE TIER:

Lay Bankz - Tell Ur Girlfriend [27]

Joost (Eurovision 🇳🇱) - Europapa [37] (Turns out we did get Joostice for Joost after all. 😎)

The Blessed Madonna/Clementine Douglas - Happier [21]

SZA - Saturn [32]

Future/Metro Boomin/Kendrick Lamar - Like That [25]

Nemo (Eurovision 🇨🇭) - The Code [18] (Not sure if they'll have Celine Dion-type success, but I'm sure they can manage. 🏳️‍⚧️ There's no emoji for the actual flag they held though. Apple might wanna change that.)

I............ LIKE THESE???? TIER:

Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us [6]

Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With a Broken Heart [13]

Noah Kahan - Stick Season [19]

Dua Lipa - Illusion [24]

Taylor Swift - Down Bad [15]

THIS IS BANG AVERAGE MAN TIER:

Kendrick Lamar - euphoria [22]

Artemas - i like the way you kiss me [9]

Hozier - Too Sweet [5]

Harry Styles - As It Was [33] (Admit it, who else muted their TV when this came on?)

Tommy Richman - MILLION DOLLAR BABY [3]

Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse - Valerie [39]

I AIN'T A FAN OF THESE HITS TIER:

Post Malone/Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help [2] (Ban the latter from radio now, cowards.)

Dasha - Austin [10]

Mark Ambor - Belong Together [11]

Rudimental/Skepsis/Running Out of Puns ASAP - Green & Gold [30]

Benson Boone - Slow It Down [16] (I don't get why all the singer-songwriters look like James Blunt nowadays...)

Myles Smith - Stargazing [12]

WOW THIS JUNK STINKS TIER:

Drake - Family Matters [34]

NewEra - Birds In The Sky [26]

David Guetta & OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait [23]

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things [7]

Bryson Tiller - Whatever She Wants [35]

SO HORRIBLE IT DEFIES DESCRIPTION TIER:

Michael Marcagi - Scared To Start [14]

Badger - These Words [28]

Teddy Swims - Lose Control [17] (The fact he's on ACR now means he's FINALLY 39th in my rankings.)

Good Neighbours - Home [40] (Their current position couldn't be any more literal.)

And here's what I think about the other entries and movements in the Top 100:

Charli XCX - 360 [41] Yep, she's straight up cursed at this point.

Perrie - Forget About Us [42] The fall-out starts now. Buckle up.

Olly Alexander (Eurovision 🇬🇧) - Dizzy [48] LOL.🤭 The chart equivalent of nul points.

Macklemore - HIND'S HALL 🇵🇸 [51] If I say that Palestine should be freed can you not beat me up in the street for expressing my opinion? PLEASE?!?

Gunna - one of wun [55], on one tonight [64], hakuna matata [96] So that's what happens when a popular rapper releases an album. Never would have guessed...

Bambie Thug (Eurovision 🇮🇪) - Doomsday Blue [67] Yeah it's great, but it would've been funnier if it won and angered my mum to no end.

beabadoobee - Take a Bite [68] Ah well, at least you tried.

Kane Brown & Marshmello - Miles On It [70] Generic dance. NEXT.

RM - Come Back To Me [80] Generic K-POP. NEXT!!

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy [81] ...wait what? How has THAT happened!? DOES ANYONE KNOW?? 'CAUSE I DON'T!!!

Stray Kids/Charlie Puth - Lose My Breath [97] Generic- wait no I already said that.

Clavish ft. D-Block Europe - Most Definitely [99] Remember when they collaborated on a Top 10 hit from 2022? Me neither...

alyona alyona/Jerry Heil (Eurovision 🇺🇦) Teresa & Maria [100] And this ballad is fine, but totally unmemorable. I've got no idea how this finished 3rd.

Right. I'm off. I've not got time for the replies. See you next week for an actual review.

After a two-week break, my rankings make a return… featuring an upgrade for Sabrina! 😊

‘We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)’ would’ve moved back into the Good Tier this week so shame to see it on ACR.

10.LIGHT SHOWER- melanie martinez (NEW)

Literally the only reason ‘As It Was’ returned to the Top 40 again is because of autoplay. I don’t even hate the song but it’s becoming very tiresome now… 😐

Fantastic to see ‘Hind’s Hall’ here. I respect Macklemore a lot for addressing important topics like this through his music and with a very good song at that.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Honestly, given all the controversies that happened with the EBU this year, I’m nowhere near as excited for the Eurovision debuts as I’d normally be. :/

Congratulations to Switzerland on their victory nonetheless! ‘The Code’ is definitely a grower and I really like how it has several genres mixed into it. Nemo also became first ever non-binary winner of the contest which is a big moment for the LGBTQ+ community! 🏳️‍⚧️

Commiserations to Olly for getting nothing on the televote but I guess 18th out of 25 overall isn’t too bad for the UK, at least compared to recent years! Delighted that ‘Europapa’ went Top 40 because that song is so much fun and it sounds like Joost was disqualified very unfairly.

Glad ‘Espresso’ managed to hold on for another week! ‘I Had Some Help’ is okay but it’s far from Post Malone at his best.
