UK TOP 100 29.08.25 #48
THE TOP TEN:
10. Rein Me In – Sam Fender/Olivia Dean (Up 1/11 weeks in chart)
9. Daisies – Justin Bieber (Down 2/Sales fall/7 weeks in chart)
8. Dior - MK/Chrystal (Down 3/Sales fall/12 weeks in chart)
7. Nice To Each Other – Olivia Dean (Up 2/Sales climb/NEW PEAK/13 weeks in chart)
6. Your Idol – Saja Boys (No change/Sales climb/9 weeks in chart)
5. The Subway – Chappell Roan (Down 1/Sales fall/4 weeks in chart)
4. Soda Pop – Saja Boys (Down 1/Sales climb/6 weeks in chart)
3. No Broke Boys – Disco Lines/Tinashe (Down 1/Sales fall/11 weeks in chart)
2. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Up 6/Sales climb/NEW PEAK/2 weeks in chart)
1. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/Sales climb/4 weeks at No. 1/10 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
96. Make Me Feel – Oskar Med K (3.6/10)
So much more could've been done, but instead the artist sticks to dull synths, with the occasional pitch change being the slight excitement through the boringness. The problem is all over this; there's just nothing that highlights a key segment. Throughout the whole song, you can't even tell what the song's trying to do. It's like if you stripped back a dance song but then did that again five more times.
89. Make Believe - Luke Dean/Omar+ (7.4/10)
The engineering on the vocals makes it sound like a loud whisper, if you know what I mean. It gives the track this side of separation from the current dance acts, along with the bass pitching feeling weirdly fresh despite not being the most unique thing. This was actually an enjoyable listen.
81. Just Two Girls – Wolf Alice (8.2/10)
Previous listen:
I'm delighted to hear what is hopefully some peak rock later on... until then, this is good but doesn't raise the bar for the album; in fact, it drops it.
Added:
I want to add onto what I said before. I love how she slowly goes from this elegant tone but with a badass kick to the hook where the guitar strings and drums are played in such a way that they complement and add to the elegance and even make it groovy. You could hear this all the way from a posh rich party to a teenager's chill room. Who doesn't love this?
77. Back 2 Back – Skepta/Fred Again... (4/10)
The constant new parts and remixes of "Victory Lap" and now a new collaboration that sounds like it's trying to be part two of "Victory Lap". I respect the hustle for another hit, but there are problems. The lyricism often feels like something Joey Valance & Brae would do or a bad freestyler, and then the random cut-off isn't unneeded, unexpected and just doesn't even work. A bad re-attempt at making something new.
65. Nights Like These – Rudimental/Rag'n'Bone Man (5.6/10)
I'm really not a fan of all these recently strange Rag'n'Bone Man collaborations. If you're going to do upbeat music, then make it you; stick to "Rush Of Blood" or "Pocket", not whatever these songs are that contain nothing memorable and don't even fit him. I'm starting to think that this guy's good songs were a fluke...
57. Everybody Scream – Florence And The Machine (7.2/10)
Previous listen: 7/10
Added:
After the brief loud vocal drums kick in, this fresh and lively feeling makes it feel like you're hearing the song live. My little problem is that beyond the fun and slight energy boost, I don't think there's a lot more to applaud.
44. If He Wanted To He Would - Perrie (7.5/10)
Just like Jade, Perrie explores more topics that Little Mix didn't seem to, and I like how she's becoming more comfortable in her own shoes. I didn't like the recent songs by her as much, but this is certainly a better delight. I'm not a fan of the way she said the sex line, but that's a small nitpick. It makes me think of an Ella Henderson song a little.
41. No Comment - Fredo (8/10)
This song is what Fredo claims is a truthful insight into him, and he does this in a bold tone that does fit the rap scene of London a lot more. I quite like it; this should be a charting success rather than some other songs by him.
40. Breakin' Dishes - Rihanna (7.2/10)
Rihanna had many hits from this era, and this one is next. This song is about chaos, with the drama of a man having days without her and possibly other women, with Rihanna having had enough. The song's chaos is captured in a late 2000s-sounding, fast-paced disco song with a shiny and electric feel, and it legitimately does it well. Could've been a single.
37. Ceremony – Stray Kids (8.1/10)
Previous listen: 7/10
Second listen:
Repeated loud talking and cheering as the main hook was something that's an interesting choice, but we're listening to Stray Kids, so of course they were going to put this with production elements you may hear in strictly only rap with drums on a high-octane song that sounds like you'd hear it in an underground rap competition with breakdancing that goes viral.
13. Jealous Type - Doja Cat (7/10)
A summer synth sound with notes sounding like they could be part of an old gameshow's theme tune. And as much as this has that fast-paced and energetic rush that I can see people getting, I don't think it has enough of that for radio. I don't think this'll do well commercially, but who knows? I could be proved wrong.
