2. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/29 weeks in chart)
1. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/10 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
92. Holy Water – Marshmello/Jelly Roll (7.5/10)
I'm as shocked as you that these two actually made something on this level! You remember Jelly Roll's feature on the Lil Wayne song? His verse on this is like that and adds this element of tone which builds more than basic, and Marshmello levelled up to that too! Both good and an interesting blend of the two styles, where they both got an equal amount of showcase.
91. Lover Girl - Laufey (6/10)
Previous listen:
Sounds a little too similar to some of her other music with the playful 60s-70s jazz sound. Despite that, it's still good.
Added:
Her vocals on this are very posh and fancy; it's a little annoying, but I can handle it on this.
88. Sacrifice – Mariah The Scientist (8/10)
If you haven't already, you should give the full album a serious listen; every song has those dreamy R&B chords that are full of flavour, with this song doing the exact same as it makes you feel like you're on a cloud. Mariah's voice is also amazing for this.
82. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (5/10)
I'm sorry, but I just can't with Olivia's music; it feels like she wants this fresh and captured-in-the-moment sound, but in reality it's one of the dullest takes on soul that we've seen this decade. The song does not convey warmth; it all just feels so dull from every angle.
73. Different Species - Offset/Gunna (7/10)
Previous listen:
After a 25-song Gunna album (with an Offset feature), of course we got another collaboration just a week later… because of course we all need that ?. Anyway, as expected, the same uninspired drum trap beat flows across the rap genre, with it being used on this too. And the lyricism is careless sex lyrics… nothing worth checking out.
Second listen:
It grew on me; I'm starting to learn that despite songs sounding the same sometimes, you can learn the flow and like it more. As I did with this on Offset's full album listen.
61. Box Me Up – BigXthaPlug/Jelly Roll (8/10)
On rap songs Jelly Roll keeps tending to deliver a verse in a separate tone, one that kind of fits his "Sharks" feature with Lil Wayne… It sounds more dark and mysterious, and with this, it actually works really well. Especially with the outro, it feels like an ascent to heaven... beautiful.
52. Ceremony – Stray Kids (8.1/10)
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.
28. 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.
