UK TOP 100 11.06.25 #41
THE TOP TEN:
10. Rein Me In—Sam Fender/Olivia Dean (Up 2/4 weeks in chart)
9. Sapphire—Ed Sheeran (No change/Sales drop/5 weeks in chart)
8. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/Sales fall/22 weeks in chart)

2. Manchild—Sabrina Carpenter (Up 1/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
1. Dior - MK/Chrystal (Up 1/NEW PEAK/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
83. Tyrant - Beyonce/Dolly Parton (7.4/10)
From Beyoncé's 2024 country album "Cowboy Carter," "Tyrant" is the 25th song on it and recently hit virality. I previously gave this a 6.1/10, but with the second listen, I feel the fun feeling a little more. Beyoncé did a good attempt at making a song that fits the lines of country music whilst also balancing a side that involves sexual lines (not too much for Dolly!). But another to add a spark of hope to the song.
27. What Did I Miss? - Drake (4/10)
I've already covered how much I dislike Drake for making the worst album of all time and of this year (so far) and how much I dislike this song, but this time I'll do it in more detail. This sounds like a more watered-down, boring version of his big hits, where the background champion theme is the only thing that partly stands out for the better. It's safe to say Drake is making music for the sake of making music. I'm flabbergasted that this is set to debut at Billboard no. 2; it really proves that commercially, even if you make a lazy rap/trap beat with a simple hook, then you can truly do anything. BOO!
17. Acquiesce - Oasis (5/10)
A song about believing and friendship that's covered in a Britpop guitar fashion with introspection. I don't really like Oasis, so I didn't expect for this to be down my alley.

UK TOP 100 19.06.25 #42
THE TOP TEN:
10. Nice To Each Other - Olivia Dean (Up 4/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)
9. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 11/NEW PEAK/4 weeks in chart)
8. Survive - Lewis Capaldi (Down 4/Sales fall/3 weeks in chart)
7. Ordinary - Alex Warren (Up 1/Sales climb/23 weeks in chart)

3. Blessings—Calvin Harris/Clementine Douglas (Up 3/NEW PEAK/Sales climb/10 weeks in chart)
2. Manchild—Sabrina Carpenter (No Change/Sales Fall/6 Weeks in Chart)
1. Dior - MK/Chrystal (No change/Sales climb/2nd consecutive week at no. 1/6 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
99. Is It—Tyla (8/10)
The loud drums pound onto a beat that feels glitchy but in a good way; this song isn't short of a bop, and it's honestly one of Tyla's best songs. It has a progression that gets stuck with you from the moment you hear it, with the essence of Tyla's Afro music fusing into a club song that has "all killer, no filler" written all over it.
93. Vodka Cranberry - Conan Grey (8.1/10)
It's like "This Song," but with more sweetness and less of that high beat kicking in for the hook. Conan has these really soft vocals that fit a love or heartbreak song in a way that nobody else can, and I think that's something special.
89. My Mind Is A Mountain - Deftones (8/10)
Previous listen:
A strong, heavy rock song that really symbolises what Deftones do. And they do it well.
Added:
As much as this is standard in what to expect in a formula of a metal song, Deftones still do that formula well, and I can't deny it. Little typical but still my thing.
85. Lose My Mind—Don Toliver/Doja Cat (6.6/10)
You know, radio could pick this up. It has a fast-paced sound that fits F1, which is fitting, seeing it's going in an F1 movie. The verses aren't the clearest, and it feels like the notes are dragged on a little too much throughout the intense energy, but it's not bad. Both rappers gave a good effort.
82. Chains & Whips—Clipse/Kendrick Lamar/Pusha T/Malice (8.2/10)
I'm yet to hear the Clipse album "Let God Sort Em Out," but this was for sure the song I was most excited to hear, and I will say that it set a high bar for the album. "Chains & Whips" partly sounds like Lamar's older rap music but with a more modern and less experimental side, where the song uses loud and clearly noticeable horns along with guitar and drums, which doesn't make a radio sound but instead uses the sounds often by themselves to showcase the song's parts rather than making a big production. It's a good song; I may hear the album in full.
77. Take My Mind—WizTheMC/Bees & Honey (8.3/10)
It's not as good as the duo's first collaboration, "Show Me Love," but it sure is a firm step too, getting a second hit song. The song uses the same tone and effects on the vocals along with an extremely similar feeling to "Show Me Love," but of course, it gives it a little bit of noticeable difference. I honestly hope these two drop more because this music is luxury to the ears.
74. Dumbo - Travis Scott (3.9/10)
66. Kick Out—Travis Scott (3.9/10)
60. Champagne & Vacay—Travis Scott/Don Toliver (3.4/10)
Weird screaming inputs that are churned out repeatedly onto verses that feel like they're at an artificial intelligence level of creative—this song is why Travis Scott doesn't excel at what he does, because quite frankly a lot of his discography is something that's made out of mumbled trapped lines, often in a darker tone, with the album's singles not even impressing me. Skip.
55. Lady Lady - Olivia Dean (5/10)
I confess, I don't really like this new Olivia Dean… She can sure play jazz and sing, but I think she does it in the most uninspired way possible, which begs the question, "How long can she keep this up?"
52. Back To Me—Rudimental/Jess Glynne (7.3/10)
A feel-good dance summer jam that shows that Rudimental is upgrading and won't be putting the fries in the bag anytime soon. Jess had clean vocals that fit dance music really well, and Rudimental made a nice sound to go alongside her.
33. All I Can Take—Justin Bieber (4/10)
A summery-ish, slow-moving song where Justin's tuning doesn't really add to the song, and as a whole the song feels flat-out dull.
32. Yukon - Justin Bieber (7.2/10)
Ok, we're working with something. The way the mix started was making me think that this was going to be another lazy "DAISIES"-type "ballad, but instead I think the mixing went well. Of course, this still is kind of basic, but it has a sweetness to it with the feminine slow vocals on top of the acoustic love song. It all felt ever so simple, but it still had a bit of Justin's charm.
18. Jump—BLACKPINK (3.6/10)
I think too much focus was put into the bass and loop and an action-packed production rather than trying to maintain quality. This is your typical bad bitch K-pop song that happens to make you anything but care.
4. Daisies - Justin Bieber (5.2/10)
Bland R&B with some guitar that doesn't give much but only matches the R&B energy. The small save for me was Justin's vocals providing the signature smoothness that Bieber is known for.
RE-ENTRIES:
91. Dakota - Stereophonics
[Unexpected return!]
78. Taste—Sabrina Carpenter
[I'll be hating on the Short N Sweet re-entries for as long as I live.]

[One of his better songs.]

UK TOP 100 25.06.25 #43
THE TOP TEN:
10. Survive - Lewis Capaldi (Down 2/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart)
9. Sapphire—Ed Sheeran (Down 4/Sales fall/7 weeks in chart)
8. Victory Lap—Fred Again/Skepta/PlaqueBoyMax (Down 2/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
7. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/Sales fall/24 weeks in chart)
6. Blessings—Calvin Harris/Clementine Douglas (Down 3/Sales fall/11 weeks in chart)
5. Manchild—Sabrina Carpenter (Down 3/Sales fall/7 weeks in chart)
4. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 5/NEW PEAK/Sales climb)
3. Eternity - Alex Warren (NEW)
2. Dior - MK/Chrystal (Down 1/Sales fall/7 weeks in chart)
1. Daisies - Justin Bieber (Up 3/Sales climb/2 weeks in chart)
NEW-ENTRIES:
98. Changes—Yungblud/Bettencourt/Yello (8/10)
At times in the song Yungblud sounds like an elderly grandpa who's been hammered in the ballsack, but aside from that note, the connection with the live audience is truly beautiful, and as a cover, it truly recreates magic. That's what good covers do: not rushed, detailed, and wonderful.
93. Iron Man—Black Sabbath (8.4/10)
79. War Pigs - Black Sabbath (7.7/10)
76. Let Him Go—Denon Reed/Cru2 (5.5/10).
"Let Him Go" is the duo's second song to chart and continues following the route of DJ dance tunes; unfortunately, the vocal mix and beat feel way too predictable, and it already sounds like something you've heard a million times.
72. 3X - Jim Legxcy/Dave (6/10)
Jim Legxcy's verses brought a sad feeling that made me feel like he's at the peak of his career again, like the times of "Nothing's Changed." The song felt beautifully raw, and I was almost crying. UN-BLOODY-TILL. DAVE CAME IN AND STARTED RAPPING IN A ROUGHER TONE ABOUT "the birds and bees" and how she's "thick." WHAT? Are you taking the piss? This was legit going to be a legendary score if it wasn't for that poop stain of a feature. The song just pisses me off every time I hear it now. I hope you're happy, DAVE.
64. Devil In Disguise - Marino (1.5/10)
This might be one of the weirdest songs I've covered in my whole time going over the UK chart. The song is only one minute and 45 seconds and sounds like something that was supposed to catch on for social media. The weird part is the lyrics, where the song is basically a narration of a spooky story where the devil is out at night and you better watch out, with lyrics like "He's nice, polite; he'll catch you by surprise.
A smile so nice, he's the devil in disguise."
Seeing the cover is AI slop, I'm also leaning more towards that this song is more brainrot garbage that had as much thought as the Skibidi Toilet song; I wouldn't even be surprised if it was AI. My question is, why did this chart? It's not like I can't understand the appeal. I just don't get how anyone apart from children could like this, and I don't mean that as an insult; I'm serious. I mean, even outside of lyricism and low-effort output, even the songs vocals just sound AI, and the beat has some guitar as the main focus but feels like it was made to fit the same storyline. This song is the equivalent of if I pretended to be the Grinch and scared children in a song.
58. Sucka Free - Tyler, The Creator (8.4/10)
56. Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne (8.4/10)
Everything about this song feels so natural yet full of life; every part of the song's journey, the guitar, drums & vocals are just so involved in the song, and the fact that simplicity can be this fine is a showcase of what Ozzy really did. R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne.
55. Punkrocker - Teddybears/Iggy Pop (8.4/10)
Released over two decades ago, "Punkrocker" re-trending due to the feature of it in the movie Superman, and with that we get a rare repetitive jam with occasional funky synths giving the song a nostalgic feel and making it feel like music you'd hear in a slideshow looking through the past, and that's a good thing.
51. All This Time - Sonny Fedora/Jazzy (7.3/10)
A fun summer EDM that I think has high chart potential, it has a summery piano along with a house vibe and an upbeat hook. Nothing unusual for the duo, but I still wouldn't mind something similar by them.
50. Out Out—Skye Newman (6.2/10)
Seeing her mysterious rise in popularity with songs that felt unfinished, I wouldn't be surprised if this followed that route. This isn't a bad song, but it's nothing more than vocals and piano doing what they always do.
49. Go Baby—Justin Bieber (6.9/10)
This felt heartfelt, and whilst it has an appeal of meaning, I think critically speaking this isn't his finest work. I'll take it, though.
46. Sugar On My Tongue—Tyler, The Creator (8.4/10)
43. Big Poe—Tyler, The Creator/Pharell Williams/Sk8brd (9.4/10)
I'm sorry... WHAT? The energy on this is INSANE!! Tyler not only needs to start doing more club-rap music, but Pharell needs to produce more like THIS. The electronic funkiness ruled the track with the perfect amount of pitch on the beat, and Tyler's vocals were as clean as the ones on Kendrick's "Squabble Up." The amount of effort to blend all this into a highly calculated and high-effort jam is unreal. Hats off to Tyler; this is possibly the best song to hit the UK charts this year so far.
32. Paranoid—Black Sabbath (8/10)
I wasn't so much keen on the timing of Ozzy's vocals at the start, but I got more into it as the song moved on. I also think that the electric guitar going heavier was also a better decision, although I still would've liked it to be a bit heavier. Overall though, I'm basically nitpicking; it's still a great song, and it really does represent real rock.
17. Soda Pop—Saja Boys/Andrew Choi/Neckwav (7.2/10)
This song soured on me, but after a re-listen, I'm not too keen on hating this. I mean, when I think back to this song, it sounds like a song a femboy animé would dance to on a Twitch stream, but the whole song itself isn't exactly as cringy-sounding as I remember; it's a little childish, but we can live with that.
3. Eternity - Alex Warren (6.7/10)
Alex previewed a snippet of this, and now that I've heard the full thing, it already feels like I've heard it; that's how predictable the song was. I'm not saying it's a terrible song, but it's nothing apart from Alex's usual loud hook and vocals that sound exaggerated for the song's feel. This is still probably the best first impression I've gotten from the album's newer singles, though.

1. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 3/NEW PEAK/1 Week No. 1/6 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
95. With You—Jorja Smith (5/10)
A loud drum loop that sounds fit for rap/trap, but instead Jorja adds her brand of singing that often fits a soulful tone. I don't like the merge, and despite the unique take, it still ends up sounding basic.
87. End Of Summer - Tame Impala (5.6/10) [+0.6 score]
Previous listen:
I just don't know; it's a long song, and nothing stood out to me.
Added:
As noted before, nothing stands out; it's seven minutes of this pattern of what appears to be synths making small, light noises that tend to be on the brighter side. Nothing here stands out, and it all just feels like a weird release.
85. Strategy - TWICE (4/10)
Honestly, seeing that so many songs have charted from the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, I think I may as well review this, and honestly, my score keeps wanting to change, but then I just dislike it again. It's just their usual aesthetic brand of K-pop that's anything but unique.
73. Saiyaara—Bagchi/Kamil/Abdullah/Nizami (8.9/10)
ABSOLUTE. BLOODY. MASTERPIECE. The fact that the Bollywood industry has made a UK impact, especially with a song like this, is phenomenal. "Saiyaara" has a strong lead vocal range from the front singer that's backed with lyrics about loving that one person; that in itself is enough to be a great song, especially seeing the amount of character coming from the voice. But to top that all off, they add a guitar riff that screams real rock along with a violin in the end that creates this high-pitched blend of utter beautifulness to end an over six-minute passionate and raw song. This is a must-hear, just WOW.
63. Takedown - Twice (7.4/10) [+0.5 score increase]
Love the extra intensity on the "takedown" hook on top of the already fierce K-pop sound; it's truthfully a mark of a beautiful time for Twice, and I think giving something that feels so much like what many BLACKPINK fans crave back was a good step to fill the hole of missing music.
62. Ring Ring Ring—Tyler, The Creator (8.5/10)
The phone ringing inserts along with this feel-good funkiness create a partly experimental Tyler-funk that's probably one of his most interesting discography songs, especially for older fans. Great.
51. It Depends—Chris Brown/Bryson Tiller (5.5/10)
Previous review:
Chris Brown returns to the boring, kind of leisurely pace of R&B that satisfies nobody and leaves us thinking, "Was Holy Blindfold all he had in the tank??"
Added:
Honestly, like I said before, but I will add in some small additions, there are some nice summer clapsand small details that are nice effects on the song, but in the end this still sounds like something off of "$$$4u."
34. Dealer—Lola Young (8.2/10)
Not only the best single from the upcoming album so far but also one of her best songs, and I wouldn't even blame you for calling this better than everything on her last album! It has a sound and lyricism that feels like Lola but strays away from a cringe line, and the sound feels altered to sound different, but that actually gives it more of a live and real sound that complements the song. Great listen.
31. 12 To 12 - Sombr (7.9/10)
I was not expecting to hear Sombr on a beat that sounds more like something Lizzo would be on. "12 to 12" has a funky, danceable sound that stays true to Sombr's vocal tone whilst balancing out new fields of music; he definitely didn't play it safe with this one, but he did that in an amazing way. Check it out!
4. Which One—Drake/Central Cee (7.5/10)
If you heard and liked "Blue Green Red," then you'll like this; it's just like that but with a Central Cee feature, which he sounds surprisingly decent on. I like when Drake puts on that accent; it gives his music a unique edge that turns regular beats into something special. This is also quite an upgrade from "What Did I Miss."

UK TOP 100 8.08.25 #45

10. Sapphire – Ed Sheeran (Down 3/Sales fall/9 weeks in chart)

3. Daisies – Justin Bieber (Down 1/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart)
2. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Down 1/Sales climb/7 weeks in chart)
1. The Subway – Chappell Roan (NEW)
NEW ENTRIES:
75. Folded – Kehlani (7/10)
Previous listen:
Surely this had to be inspired by Tyla; in fact, if you like Tyla, then this'll be right up your alley. It has a slow and easy pitch that feels right.
Added:
First off, my apology for not building on my previous review in the Hot 100 chart review; I forgot. Now for my review. A smoother R&B song that doesn't feel like it has another flavour; it gives off a little of Ella Mai.
31. Slide Away - Oasis (5/10)
I've already gone through multiple times about how forgettable I think Oasis music is, with their Britpop instruments just feeling like any song by them and feeling painfully average in terms of what it does. It's natural, but it's not good, and I've honestly forgotten the other details right after I listened. Skip.
1.The Subway - Chappell Roan (5.8/10)
One million times better than "The Giver," but I still can't say this is a showcase of what Chappell can be capable of; instead, it's a calm pop-rock song with occasional high notes from Chappell and doesn't reflect what she usually goes for. I just don't think the simplicity and the dreamy chords helped as much as she thought they would; it's just fine and definitely extremely overhyped by AOTY.
RE-ENTRIES:
100. Somedays - Sonny Fedora/Jazzy/DOD
[Why is this back?]
97. Gabriela - Katseye
[Good song.]
95. Creep - Radiohead
[It'll probably return again.]
92. Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi
[Legendary song, but we don't need it in 2025.]
88. Let Down - Radiohead
[Great.]

did you grow up with Oasis in their heyday or are you a product of the post-Oasis era?
