Jio's HoF :NOW:WEEKLY PICKS (26/9/2023)

[Tansike]

Lissie will definitely shine in this chart since I am going to her concert next month

Ah that's fantastic! Have fun then

Great debuts for Madonna and Marina this week. Though I have to admit I'm actually disappointed in "Medellin" as it still doesn't really want to click with me Marina's song is good, her whole album is actually quite strong.

[heppolo]

Nice to see Kylie as the number one anyway.

[Tansike]

Good debut for Kylie! "New York City" is definitely a nice pop song

[jio]

The song itself is something that Kylie can probably do in her sleep by now but it's still Kylie and it's good. I like the little touch of adding an electric guitar towards the end of the song, something very usual for dance songs in the '80s and early '90s but quite rare now.

[heppolo]

Nice that Liam Gallagher made the chart

[jio]

Thanks for being the only one commenting in this thread lol lol

[JakeP]

Thanks for being the only one commenting in this thread lol lol

Let's change that.

1.(4) CHERYL: Let You

Aww if it was 2014 this would've been a UK #1. Such a shame as its one of Cheryl's better singles. I still think Love made me do it has killed off any momentum Cheryl had when she made her eagerly anticipated comeback. I even liked that song but Let you is so superior. <3

7.(15) MARK RONSON/CAMILA CABELLO: Find You Again

This has grown on me quite a lot in the last 2 weeks. I still prefer Nothing beats like a heart though.

13.(5) SIGALA/BECKY HILL: Wish You Well

Love this. <3 Sigala has been one of my favourite dance acts since Easy love purely because he makes actual bops and even the slower mellower songs are still decent enough.

14.(-) LIAM GALLAGHER: Shockwave

This managed to scrape into my latest chart too. Not really as good as Wall of glass and For what it's worth is still my favourite Liam solo single to date.

[jio]

OMG "Love Made Me Do It" was terrible and the video was even worse... yeah, pregnancy was responsible for that mouth lol lol. That said, "Let You" is definitely back to form hence it's my #1... "Shockwave" is good but I got to say I was surprised it is doing so well in the main UK charts, I mean it is something Liam can do in his sleep by now. I do agree that
"Wall Of Glass" and WIW are far better. I also think that Noel's latest is far better too but maybe "Shockwave" will grow further on me. Sigala's song is great. Although I don't appreciate nasal voices much, the chorus took me way back to 1991 and Rozalla in a way. And Mark Ronson served Camila with her best single ever IMO (I get annoyed by all her other hits). It's so 90s R&B and it does sound like an improved version of the tile track of his album. I did like NBLAH too but this is superior IMO.

Thanks for commenting

[Mainshow]

Wow! I love to see Cheryl's latest single on top! - That said, I seriously prefer "Love Made Me Do It" to it, though. I hope that we'll get an album full of basic yet enjoyable Cheryl gems soon!

DAVID BOWIE: DJ<==== BLAST FROM THE PAST (1979)

PRINCE: Originals<==== ALBUM PICK

[heppolo]

Collective Soul's "Good Place To Start" is alright, The Raconteurs entry is slightly disappointing, on the other hand.

[jio]

Collective Soul is retro to the bone... very late 80s/early 90s adult rock. The Raconteurs' is a cover but it is still better than the other singles that were kinda disappointing tbh... Can't see them lasting another week in the Top 15 but then again who knows? too early to tell

[Mainshow]

Flawless #1! At first, I was afraid of Kygo butchering Whitney's vocal power to release a basic and generic EDM track but I love it. It's very well-produced and Whitney sounds amazing on it!
