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.
