Genuinely shocked at this. Can only assume irreconcilible internal wranglings over indyref2, with maybe a dash of gender reform bitterness.

Oh, that talentless fat fuck who helped ruin Two Doors Down is a fan, is he? That's nice.

Can the next person nudge Madonna up to her correct placing? I seem to have forgotten to rearrange her correctly, much like her recent surgeons.

That's a lot of evil in such a small space.

You're only as old as the dental hygienist-turned-Forza Italia MP you feel.

Your trivia of the day is that the video for Heaven Is A Place On Earth was directed by Diane Keaton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2F4INQFjEI

Wholeheartedly agree. Bonkers that Like a Prayer has gotten downvotes when fucking Sonia and Bros sit there with their 20 points untouched.

Would consider swapping in Ride on Time for Orinoco Flow, which I also love, but that's a strong group. I hope/suspect the end result will look like this. One of the Kylie songs might edge in.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the Jive Bunny craze/phenomenon/collective madness was that it was international. Swing the Mood was no.1 in 13 countries!

While I don't like any of his other songs, Too Many Broken Hearts is a bit of a guilty pleasure.

I was holding off being the one to bin La Isla Bonita, as I've already been mean to Madge this week. I'll make it up by championing Like a Prayer.

I've just finished listening to all the '88 and '89 no.1s. Why hasn't there been some kind of Nuremberg-style prosecution of the perpetrators of Jive Bunny?

Mine was Madonna's The Immaculate Collection, which includes La Isla Bonita.

The harsh lighting and grainy film isn't doing him any favours, but he's been a bloated sack of shit for years. Has anyone filmed him falling over drunk on a train lately?

From the Grammys yesterday. Not entirely convinced this isn't Johnny Depp? She's meant to be starting a (currently) 72-date, 6 month world tour in July. It's selling well enough for them to be adding extra dates, but I'm genuinely having doubts about her ability to fulfil those obligations when she really doesn't seem mentally or physically well.
