TOP 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 22.02.25 #21
THE TOP TEN:
Busy Woman is new at 10 for Sabrina Carpenter, and Sabrina also re-enters at 9 with Please Please Please thanks to her Dolly Parton remix. Benson Boone surprisingly has less of a sales fall than expected but still slips to 8, and Lady Gaga has a mammoth sales fall as she dives to 7. Chrystal's 'The Days' continues its sales drop at 6 as Kendrick and SZA have 'All the Stars' up to 5. Kendrick and SZA also see number 4 with 'Luther' Chappell. Roan has a 1,000+ sales climb with 'Pink Pony Club' peaking at 3 as 'Messy' sees Lola Young lose the top spot for the first time. And taking number one with a 7,000+ climb in sales and making his first number one hit after numerous top tens is Kendrick Lamar with 'Not Like Us.'
NEW ENTRIES:
98. Set You Free—Jack Harlow (7.2/10)
Oooooooh, I like this! And I notice Harlow's change in music; the past few years he was making mainstream sounds like 'First Class,' 'Lovin On Me,' and also featuring on Jungkook's '3D,' but the past few singles feel like they're actually trying to make a change for the audience and give a more respected rap sound, something that more underground artists are praised for doing, and his step away from making sounds just for the sake of hitting #1 has actually worked well; every song feels clean in a new type of way. The production on this is a lot more worked on than any other song by him; it feels more natural to what the artist wants to put out. Glad to see this!
77. Worst Behaviour - Kwn (6.3/10)
What a quirky song; it gets the pass from me. It's all about showing your crazy side, and each of the acts shows this in their own way. It's okay; I'm for it.
69. High Fashion - Addison Rae (2/10)
I knew I wasn't going to like it before I even listened; that's how much trauma her past singles have given me. The only thing I'll slightly applaud here is the fact that she always tends to aim for something that isn't done as often, a more experimental stance. This time though, things take a droopy turn as the song feels mixed up and hard to vibe to; it's a miss.
48. Remember My Name - Sam Fender (7.8/10)
What a beautiful ballad! Olivia Dean delivers a great vocal performance but fails to have it be remembered for distinctiveness.to honour his dead relatives; his voice is perfect for this song, and it's truly heartbreaking to listen to, but yet you feel good because it's Sam Fender. This album is set to be a great one if the new singles keep on being this good!
45. Here in Your Arms—Nathan Dawe/Abi Flynn (4.1/10)
As you can expect, really cheap, usual electronic music, not a single person got up and started dancing hard to this, apart from the Temu workers maybe.
23. Crush—AJ Tracey/Jorja Smith (7.3/10)
This was such a shocker from Jorja's usual that I am in SHOCK!! And she nailed it; in fact, she did better than the lead artist. I never knew we needed her alongside rap with a beat that I didn't think would work that well! And shoutout to AJ because he helped make this work; the last time I remember liking a pop/rap collab this much was Stormzy & Raye's 'Weekend.'
22. CN Tower—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (2/10)
THIS IS SO PEAK... Peak disappointment, this sounds like a filler; if this is one of the most popular songs on the album, then we have issues because what even was this?! It was just some jumbled slop with no flow and no control at all.
21. Gimme A Hug—Drake (6.9/10)
Good beat switch but a bad shy away Kendrick reference; this got better as it went in, though, and overall the hard hit in the middle was the most enjoyable part. Feels like a single you could promo.
19. Nokia—Drake (6.4/10)
Nearly a promotable song, it feels like more could be done, but it still has that hook and groovy beat, and of course keeping the beat flavourful.
10. Busy Woman—Sabrina Carpenter (2/10)
Just like the three pushed singles from Short N Sweet, this is terrible. It was pushed on the deluxe edition of the album along with three other new singles, which I doubt I'll waste my time on. You get the idea; Sabrina wants to get naked. She's singing in the same tone that's as bland as dry chicken for a roast Sunday, and it sounds like it's meant for social media.
