UK TOP 100 27.06.25 #39
THE TOP TEN:
10. Family Matters – Skye Newman (Down 4/Sales fall/6 weeks in chart)
9. Ordinary – Alex Warren (Down 8/Sales fall/20 weeks in chart)
8. Blessings – Calvin Harris/Clementine Douglas (No change/Sales climb/7 weeks in chart)
7. Undressed – Sombr (No change/Sales fall/14 weeks in chart)
6. Rein Me In – Sam Fender/Olivia Dean (Up 80/2 weeks in chart)
5. Pink Pony Club – Chappell Roan (Down 1/Sales fall/32 weeks in chart)
4. Victory Lap – Fred Again/Skepta/PlaqueBoyMax (NEW)
3. Love Me Not – Ravyn Lenae (No change/Sales fall/20 weeks in chart)
2. Dior – MK/Chrystal (Up 3/NEW PEAK/Sales climb/2 weeks in chart)
1. Manchild – Sabrina Carpenter (Up 1/Sales fall/3 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
94. You Don't Own Me – Prospa/Josh Baker/Rahh (7.4/10)
A funky dance/house song with synths and an upbeat bass, the song is kind of a jam; the vocals and pulse along with the speed make this song feel a tiny bit like an older song with a modern twist. Dare I say this is a replay? Very much could get one.
93. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei (7/10)
From my understanding this is from a show called Demon Hunters, which by the cover I'd assume is on Netflix. It's a K-pop song with a sound that sounds like it's not too unexpected for K-pop girl bands, but that doesn't stop it from still having a fair bit of fun.
92. Hammer – Lorde (7.3/10)
Her accent felt like it was going to flood through, but thankfully it didn't because I think it makes the songs worse. "Hammer" is from Lorde's upcoming album "Virgin" and continues the alt-pop with artistic values. The song talks about love and identity and gives the song the meaning it feels like it needs. Hopefully the rest of "Virgin" can at least be as good as this.
85. Unravelling – Muse (7/10)
A loud rock and metal sound that sounds nice but needs more to the formula. It's passable in my eyes, though.
72. Outside – Cardi B (7.7/10)
Cardi B makes a radio-trap song with the perfect level of bounce in the bass and fiery, unapologetic vocals.
55. Mr Electric Blue – Benson Boone (7.1/10)
It's like "Mystical Magical" but if it didn't carry a whole hate train on the internet. The intense buildup tone on "Watch the way you talk to me" really adds up to the full kick in the hook. And the way it goes into a summer pop song is lovely.
49. Drive – Ed Sheeran (7.6/10)
Ed Sheeran making rock music was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I'm still very thankful it happened. I've heard a lot of Ed, and this is probably the most different thing we'll get out of him; the guitars have gone all out to give a fiery sound that even keeps up in the hook that Ed very well matches. Great.
47. Guilt Trippin – Central Cee/Sexyy Red (5/10)
Sexyy Red keeps getting collaborations left and right, and most don't matter in the slightest. It's just speed-run cheap music to try and get a hit single. In this song Central and Sexyy give their exact same performance and a weak rap hook that fails to impress in the slightest.
44. Plastic Box – Jade (4/10)
The simplicity isn't sweet; it's just straight down to the basics, with Jade feeling lacking in character. Just like in her other songs, it just doesn't hit the mark of even "alright". I fear this album will contend for worst album of 2025.
42. Gabriella – KATSEYE (7.2/10)
Think of everything that their first single "Gnarly" was, and now think of the opposite of each of those elements. This song is softer; it's not cringe, and it actually takes the time in the beat to form a sweet pop song. Think of it like Mae Muller if she were good.
37. We Never Dated - Sombr (7.4/10)
I liked Sombr's trendy music, but I never really came back to it (despite feeling that maybe I might), and this song actually makes me want to hear more of him. It has that emotional and gripping sound that his popular songs have, and if anything, this shows that he hasn't lost his shine. And for what it is, it's also pretty memorable indie rock.
33. High On Me – Rossi/Jazzy (5.9/10)
Jazzy is someone I can rely on to continue to give me electronic dance and house music that doesn't sound like the typical stereotypes of the genre. And with this, it's not my cup of tea, but it's certainly not bad.
4. Victory Lap – Fred Again/Skepta/PlaqueBoyMax (6.9/10)
Previous listen:
Fred Again's style wasn't shown that well on this, and it felt like the song swung in more of Skepta's style with the intense rap beat.
Added (AKA second listen):
My second listen improved my rating by 0.6+; it's still not great, but I can respect the club-hype synth sound. But I'm not really into the synth sound on this; it sounds like something you'd hear at a spooky event at times.
