Yeah, that was a special case. It should have done much better here because i liked it more than its chartrun may suggest
He's currently stanning for 'Horizon' which looks very interesting! It's only available for the PS4 though and not for Switch, otherwise I'd play it as well.
Guess what? I still didn't play again… but my Gameboy is always in my handpocket when I'm going to my partner, so the attempt was there This past week he's really delved into Far Cry 4. Hmmm...maybe when the Pokémon Switch game is finally officially unveiled, the hype will get you back into USUM? Since I finished the Rainbow Rocket arc and explored the rest of Poni Island in Ultra Sun, I've been re-visiting White 2 lately, and I'd forgotten how charming a lot of it is (especially Pokéstar Studios/Pokéwood.) Makes me think that I might underrate Gen V sometimes... I didn't realize that "Guilty" completely failed to make the UK Top 100. That's really shocking, and SO sad 
She's never been the biggest hit-maker, but her past couple albums produced at least one UK Top 10 each! It's even weaker than the RFI video IMO. I'm definitely in no rush, then. I also feel like it doesn't really matter as much since I already liked "End Game" well enough, but I don't think any video could've helped it eclipse "Delicate" (or a couple other album tracks) for me anyway. I always thought the Macy Gray collaboration would have been a cool track to release as well. That one's a strong contender for my absolute least-favorite/most-skipped on the entire album. I guess it would've been interesting to see Macy Gray score a hit in the 2010's, though... 
Updating the Discographies is actually my favorite thing to do when it comes to my personal charts, as I'm always very interested to see how the artists are doing and something I get surprised by myself (despite making it all by myself ) - the latest case is Rachel, as shortly mentioned (when "Perfect For You" surpassed "Broken Glass"). It's a similar case with Taylor Swift's LWYMMD and "Ready For It?" - it depends on the mood. Sometimes I prefer "Perfect For You" to "Broken Glass", and sometimes it's the other way round. But these two are definitely her best singles to date. When it comes to tracks overall, it also depends on my mood. "Lone Ranger" and "Congratulations" from "Wildfire" are still awesome, plus I also LOVE "Collide" off "Waves", so these would be my personal Top5 from Rachel but in no exact running order. Speaking of "Collide", I really, really hope that would be the next single, if there's one. But knowing her, I guess there won't be another single and if there'll be one, it will be another track (just like she went with the disappointing "Better Place" from "Wildfire"…). Do you know if that new song is an actual single or just an album track for the Fifth Shades movie? Basically, Billboard can't get their story straight...so maybe "Chunky" was planned to be the fourth single, but got cancelled, or some kind of REALLY limited release at the last minute? Or those Billboard writers are just checking Wikipedia and failing to notice that "Chunky" was Australia-only... After the album got pushed back, I also expected them to add a bunch of rushed, sub-par "Havana" knock-offs, but that's not the case at all! To me, it feels like night-and-day from the "New Rules" video, which totally captivated me from the first viewing and kept me coming back for more - but I'm glad to see more fans are enjoying the "IDGAF" video than I expected! It's definitely commendable that she continues to put more thought/vision into her videos, but the entertainment value is just lacking for me this time around. To be fair - there aren't many videos that really hook me and I don't watch them much in general, so the fact that I'm not compelled to come back to "IDGAF" again just falls in line with how I feel about most videos. That complaint aside, it's still amazing to see "Dancing" debut inside your Top 2 (and instantly become one of her highest-peaking songs ever!)

Makes me think that I might underrate Gen V sometimes... Hm. I think we already talked about this before and i said that this Generation is also my least favorite (or second least, don't have them all in my mind right now ) but that's probably also because i never played it as much as all other Gens. Maybe i should re-visit that one as well one day. I definitely still remember some nice stuff from it. I didn't realize that "Guilty" completely failed to make the UK Top 100. That's really shocking, and SO sad She's never been the biggest hit-maker, but her past couple albums produced at least one UK Top 10 each! I'm definitely in no rush, then.

That one's a strong contender for my absolute least-favorite/most-skipped on the entire album. I guess it would've been interesting to see Macy Gray score a hit in the 2010's, though... It started of as one of my absolute faves on the album back then, though some tracks grew on me and that Macy collabo started to bore me every now and then. But yeah, would have been cool (and deserved) to see Macy on the charts again. I guess we saw it coming Anyways, I’ve finally heard it, and it’s a good pop song, but also kinda cheesy at some points… I put it on my playlist now due to the video release so it should enter my charts next week (not the one which is yet to be revealed for this week)… so let’s see how much this may grow on me until then. Her voice sounds a bit different than on her other singles... do you think so too? Basically, Billboard can't get their story straight...so maybe "Chunky" was planned to be the fourth single, but got cancelled, or some kind of REALLY limited release at the last minute? Or those Billboard writers are just checking Wikipedia and failing to notice that "Chunky" was Australia-only... Anyways, maybe he’s releasing another single and hopefully it’s “Chunky”, so that would make up for that mess and would make everything clear Since everyone is able to edit Wikipedia, that’s obviously not the best source, but then, these album pages are usually trustworthy… After the album got pushed back, I also expected them to add a bunch of rushed, sub-par "Havana" knock-offs, but that's not the case at all! And “Crying In The Club” is her most successful chart entry by far on my charts. But listening to the album now, it actually makes sense to leave them off. It’s a surprisingly cohesive debut album from her. To me, it feels like night-and-day from the "New Rules" video, which totally captivated me from the first viewing and kept me coming back for more - but I'm glad to see more fans are enjoying the "IDGAF" video than I expected! It's definitely commendable that she continues to put more thought/vision into her videos, but the entertainment value is just lacking for me this time around. To be fair - there aren't many videos that really hook me and I don't watch them much in general, so the fact that I'm not compelled to come back to "IDGAF" again just falls in line with how I feel about most videos. Sounds not good at all! But I have to agree with you when it comes to videos overall. 2017 was yet another very weak year when it comes to official videos, there were only a few really good ones. “New Rules” definitely belongs to them, “Bad Liar” and “Symphony” were two other highlights. That complaint aside, it's still amazing to see "Dancing" debut inside your Top 2 (and instantly become one of her highest-peaking songs ever!) Who would have thought a few weeks ago?

I haven't watched him play this one much, partially because he plays it on his computer (whereas he'd play Assassin's Creed on the TV.)
It debuted at No. 95 on the latest UK chart, so that's a step in the right direction, at least... The clear standout for me is "Prom" - but that track doesn't really represent the sound of the rest of the album at all The rest is much more...slow/chill (though there's definitely emotion in the tracks.) It does feel like a much more honest, vulnerable, revealing album than the kind of "personal" material we sometimes get from poppier acts (which usually just involves super generic/cliché stuff that applies to basically everyone, like "I feel ugly sometimes...") 
Glad you agree! I guess we saw it coming Anyways, I've finally heard it, and it's a good pop song, but also kinda cheesy at some points… I put it on my playlist now due to the video release so it should enter my charts next week (not the one which is yet to be revealed for this week)… so let's see how much this may grow on me until then. Her voice sounds a bit different than on her other singles... do you think so too? "Cheesy" is a pretty fair description (such a bubbly poppy love song seems like a really strange fit for what I thought was an edgy adult movie about kinky sex.) I think Hailee sounds like herself in the verses, but I can hear what you're saying during the chorus. She still sounds good enough to have me hooked, though. <3 And "Crying In The Club" is her most successful chart entry by far on my charts. But listening to the album now, it actually makes sense to leave them off. It's a surprisingly cohesive debut album from her. Is that still true for "Crying In The Club" now? Sounds not good at all! But I have to agree with you when it comes to videos overall. 2017 was yet another very weak year when it comes to official videos, there were only a few really good ones. "New Rules" definitely belongs to them, "Bad Liar" and "Symphony" were two other highlights. Who would have thought a few weeks ago? Right on! Although there's a few album tracks that give it pretty stiff competition for me, I'm tempted to call it my favorite single of hers, at least! I do like "Havana", but something about NBTS just resonates with me more. The way she sings (and pronounces) the "nicotINE, heroINE, ,morphINE" part is...different...but in a way that really works for me! That seems REALLY close...but yeah, it has to manage to actually stay on the chart to rack up those 12 remaining points. In the sense that you're much better at appreciating this kind of more understated, slow-burning track. Basically, it's just too subtle for my "JUST MAKE IT CATCHY!" tastes. ;)
I get what you mean though. For me it's very well done, though the end where it gets picked up is a bit too short.
I haven't watched him play this one much, partially because he plays it on his computer (whereas he'd play Assassin's Creed on the TV.) Makes sense, I don’t know if I would watch my partner gaming something on the computer as well… Also, I’m loving RuPaul’s Drag Race, though only three seasons are available over here and I watched them 2-3 times already. So as you can see, I’m really into Netflix stuff at the moment Other than that, The Big Bang Theory is always a staple plus a huge guilty pleasure of mine is starting this week (‘Germany’s Next Topmodel ) … what about you? It debuted at No. 95 on the latest UK chart, so that's a step in the right direction, at least... I’m still shocked how “Guilty” never did it, so “Til I’m Done” is already more successful! The clear standout for me is "Prom" - but that track doesn't really represent the sound of the rest of the album at all The rest is much more...slow/chill (though there's definitely emotion in the tracks.)

I think Hailee sounds like herself in the verses, but I can hear what you're saying during the chorus. She still sounds good enough to have me hooked, though. <3 We really saw it coming, did we?! :cool: Kinda glad to hear you agree with my statement about “Capital Letters” being cheesy, and I didn’t even mean it in a negative way. But yeah, it’s funny how this and “For You” are ‘bubbly poppy love song’ (what an amazing description from you!) despite the movie being all kinky… Also, she got me hooked as well now! 
Is that still true for "Crying In The Club" now? Right on! Although there's a few album tracks that give it pretty stiff competition for me, I'm tempted to call it my favorite single of hers, at least!

Basically, it's just too subtle for my "JUST MAKE IT CATCHY!" tastes. ;) But that’s a very fitting comparison! I know what you mean though, and that’s probably also why I enjoy the second half a bit more (especially starting with the small ‘beat’/whatever it is kicking in during the second verse).
Sorry for the rant and I know it’s not her fault but apart from “Joanne” the song (which is part of my charts so it’s on my playlist), she’s currently blacklisted for me….. I still can’t deal with that cancellation! It’s a nice tune. I’m kinda surprised my partner hates it (he’s a big fan of Chris & Justin )
Nice to see First Aid Kit on chart again, these girls always sound strange in a good way.
Nice to see First Aid Kit on chart again, these girls always sound strange in a good way. "Get Out" is not a weak/bad song, but somehow i'm already over it so i hope their upcoming album will have some tunes that will be able to catch more of my attention. Glad you like Frist Aid Kit - and yes, they do
I'm hoping for amazingness, no pressure. Is this a pure co-incidence. Best friend entered my chart last week and is now up to #5 in my latest chart. I'd love to see this become a big hit in your chart too. Also, I'm loving RuPaul's Drag Race, though only three seasons are available over here and I watched them 2-3 times already. So as you can see, I'm really into Netflix stuff at the moment Other than that, The Big Bang Theory is always a staple plus a huge guilty pleasure of mine is starting this week ('Germany's Next Topmodel ) … what about you? If they had put out Crystal at the same time as the other two, a lot of people would've just bought that version...this way, people had to pick between Gold or Silver if they wanted to play a few months ago, and now they might be tempted to get Crystal as well. Oh well, at least they didn't pull that when they did the VC release of Red, Blue, and Yellow... Are you a big Star Trek fan overall? What's your favorite Star Trek series? I feel you with the Netflix originals, though! I've seen most/all of Grace And Frankie, Stranger Things, Disjointed, BoJack Horseman, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt...and I think that's it? I'm still shocked how "Guilty" never did it, so "Til I'm Done" is already more successful! and it looks like "Til I'm Done" is already out of the UK Top 100... Ctrl definitely has some great stuff to offer...but if R&B/Soul typically doesn't interest you, it's very much an R&B record. It's a bit like Kelly's Meaning Of Life situation in the sense that I wouldn't say I really DISlike it - it's just done in a style that typically doesn't stick with me as much as her pop/rock/dance material (though Ctrl does have stronger highlights for me than Meaning Of Life, but still a handful of tracks that haven't clicked with me even after a few listens.) We really saw it coming, did we?! :cool: Kinda glad to hear you agree with my statement about "Capital Letters" being cheesy, and I didn't even mean it in a negative way. But yeah, it's funny how this and "For You" are 'bubbly poppy love song' (what an amazing description from you!) despite the movie being all kinky… Also, she got me hooked as well now! I feel like she could've/should've gotten away with re-releasing "Last Dance" in most places instead of "IDGAF", since I don't think it actually charted...anywhere...during its original release? I don't mind the "Last Dance" video, but she also could've made another one to make it feel more like a "new" single. I like "IDGAF" well enough, but I think LD makes a much stronger impact. I mean...I KIND of get it, and it reminds me of how people don't like when Britney goes into "Chipmunkney" mode...but I still feel like Camila really pulls it off on NBTS, and it helps make the track more interesting/distinct (in a good way!) Sorry for the rant and I know it's not her fault but apart from "Joanne" the song (which is part of my charts so it's on my playlist), she's currently blacklisted for me….. I still can't deal with that cancellation! NOoOoOoOoO Aw, damn, that's really heartbreaking! I'm sorry. She completely deserves to be in a time-out for now! So "Clarity" and "Stay The Night" didn't do anything for you? It looks like he actually owes Ari and Selena for finally turning you on to him He doesn't seem to have the best longevity either, so hopefully Maren can help him reach the rare 10-week-mark...
. . Though I didn't hate it. ).. Though I'm glad to see you gave it a chance and that #2 debut.
