UK TOP 100 1.06.25 #44
THE TOP TEN:
10. Your Idol—Saja Boys (Up 4/NEW PEAK/5 weeks in chart)
9. Ordinary - Alex Warren (Down 2/Sales fall/25 weeks in chart)
8. No Broke Boys—Disco Lines/Tinashe (Up 4/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)
7. Sapphire—Ed Sheeran (Up 2/sales climb/8 weeks in chart)
6. Blessings—Calvin Harris/Clementine Douglas (No change/Sales fall/12 weeks in chart)
5. Manchild—Sabrina Carpenter (No change/Sales fall/8 weeks in chart)
4. Which One—Drake/Central Cee (NEW)
3. Dior - MK/Chrystal (Down 1/Sales fall/8 weeks in chart)
2. Daisies—Justin Bieber (Down 1/Sales fall/3 weeks in chart)
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."
