Pretty Fly (For 1999): 10th January. Got The 1999 Smoke Feelin

 So it's a pretty standard week for the chart, a few changes here and there but nothing too remarkable which is probably the apt way to describe our top two within the top ten right now where "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" by The Offspring holds sway at number one just ahead of "Believe" by Cher at number two, these two songs are just duking it out for the top spot, it's not all that close. 

The Honeyz "Finally Found" their way ip three spots to number three while "Goodbye" by Spice Girls remains at number four and "Crush" by Jennifer Paige at number five.

Rising three to number six is "When You're Gone" by Bryan Adams feat. Mel C, this has some decent traction and could go higher which I am happy about as it's a good song.

Rising four places to number seven is Shania Twain's love ballad tailor made for weddings "From This Moment On", this song is kind of bland but I get it. 

Taking a five place fall this week was Stars on 54's cover of "If You Could Read My Mind" which tumbled to number eight this week. Rising three to hit the top ten at number nine is Boyzone's awful "No Matter What"...the sooner this is gone from the top ten the better.

Finally "Jackie" by BZ feat. Joanne remains at number ten. 

Losers

This is just more of 1998's music falling away like "Raincloud" by Lighthouse Family which slipped ten to forty, "Treat Me Good" by Bachelor Girl down nine to forty six, "Thank U" by Alanis Morrisette continuing to stumble down twelve to forty five.

"Outside" by George Michael got pushed back nine spots to thirty nine,  "Viva Forever" by Spice Girls skidded from twenty four to thirty one while "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust stumbled nine to twenty six and "Horny '98" by Mousse T. vs Hot 'n' Juicy slipped thirteen spots to twenty seven.

Gains

So we got some decent gains this week. I wish I could be all that excited about some of these especially as *NSync's "I Want You Back" threw itself up nineteen to twenty four and "Body Movin'" by Beastie Boys lived up to it's name and moved up from forty nine to thirty four.

In better news, "Malibu" by Hole climbed from thirty four to eighteen (yeah, it's a cool song...I dig it) and "A Little Bit" by Pandora which leaped twelve spots to fourteen. 

Re-Entries

Two returns this week with "Celebrity Skin" by Hole back at forty nine and "The First Night" by Monica at number thirty. 

New Entries

Three new entries this week, beginning with...

48. "1999' by Prince

We're starting with a bit of a cheat code here because this was originally released in 1983 and peaked on the Kent Music Report charts at number two and hit the year end at number sixteen. It was re released to coincide with the year 1999 and well... this song insight into a fever dream Prince may well had been having with surreal lyrics about swearing it was Judgement day, sky being purple and people running everywhere and looking for destruction despite not even caring. It's a shockingly dark song over some of the most fun pop production I've heard in awhile, Great song. 

42. "Smoke" by Natalie Imbruglia

Fourth and final single from Natalie Imbruglia's album Left of the Middle and it's easily Imbruglia's most vulnerable song to date as the song delves into emotional pain stemming from either family issues or other personal trauma, it's not defined as to who the song is about but Imbruglia is able to bring this pain nto her performance and for me it works especially over the piano and strings...good song. 

35. "Got The Feelin'" by Five 

British boyband Five return to the charts with their latest single amd this one is less raucous than "Everybody Get Up" and less trying to hook up like on "When the Lights Go Out" but for as chill as this song is trying to be, maaan, I am not impressed by the boys rapping, it sounds amateur and just really unconvincing especially as it's just lyrics about getting down with the band to party if you got the feeling. Skip this. 

Yeah...that was our week and "Got the Feelin'" by Five nets worst of the week. I know this is cheating but "1999" by Prince gets best of the week...it's definitely unfair but it is better than "Smoke" by Natalie Imbruglia. 

ARIA Singles top 50 Chart Review: 5th January

 Another quiet week on the ARIA singles chart with there being no new entries so let's just get right into the top ten because "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean consolidated it's hold on the number one slot and really its only strengthened it's hold on streaming, its sales are good and Youtube while not great...is fine.

The top four remains the same with "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift at number two (it's not going back to number as it's streaming is starting to slide, "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters at number three and "Ordinary" by Alex Warren at number four.

Streaming isn't letting go of the utterly annoying now "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines feat. Tinashe which climbed two spots to rebound to number five. Raye's search for a husband on "Where is My Husband" held steady at number six while "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean slipped two spots to number seven.

Holding station are "12 to 12" by Sombr at number eight and "Nice to Each Other" by Olivia Dean at number nine.

Finally Sombr's "Back to Friends" is back to the top ten rising one spot to number ten.

Losers

 Olivia Dean's "Let Alone the One You Love slipped eight spots to thirty nine and "Baby Steps" to thirty three while it was the same for "4 Raws" by EsDeeKid which slipped eight spots off it's debut to thirty six. 

Drop Outs

The drop outs were three of the four songs that debuted last week with "It Feels Like Christmas" by Fall Out Boy, "I've Seen it" by Olivia Dean and "Century" by EsDeekid all gone.

Gains

The big gains are all for past hits with "Espresso" up sixteen to twenty seven and "Manchild" up eleven to twrnty four both for Sabrina Carpenter.

"APT" by Rose and Bruno Mars rebounded ten spots to number twenty two. Kehlani's "Folded" is up six to thirty eight which is a new peak for that song.

Re-Entries

Three returns this week and it's a shame I don't really care for any of them with "How It's Done" from K-Pop Demon Hunters back at fifty. "Mystical Magical" by Benson Boone mystically magically pissing me off by returning at forty eight and finally a song that I can only assume got an exception from ARIA to chart under it's new rules due to it going viral. "End of Beginning" by Djo at number fourteen probably due to Djo being in Stranger Things.

So with there being no new entries, that ends the week. Pretty slow way to start off 2026 but with Zach Bryan, Bruno Mars and The Kid Laroi releasing new music on Friday, the chart action might be about to fire up. 

Pretty Fly (For 1999): January 3rd I Want You Body Movin' That Thing to Doo Wop and Back

 Hello final year of the 20th century and we start out 1999 with a reasonable chunk of new arrivals and a bit of movement in our top ten so why don't we start there because we do have a bit of a duopoly going on with The Offspring at number one with "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), this song has a decent sales margin over "Believe" by Cher which sits at number two for another week.

Then we have the cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" by Stars on 54 which climbed four places to number three, it's likewise for the Spice Girls as "Goodbye" also crawled up four to number four this week.

Not the case for Jennifer Paige though as her former chart topper "Crush" slipped two to number five, it's similuar also for "Finally Found" by Honeyz down two to number six and "Rollercoaster" by B*Witched down two to number seven.

"Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)" by Green Day slipped two back to number eight.

We have two songs entering the top ten this week with the first of those being 'When You're Gone" by Bryan Adams and Mel C up two spots to number 9 while "Jackie" bv B.Z feat. Joanne got a five place gain to number ten (I have a feeling this song might be going to be a chart topper with how catchy it is).

Losers

Steve Dundon's owe to the Adelaide Crows going back to back in the AFL "It's the Crows Again" slipped seven spots to fifty. "Under the Bridge" by All Saints fell down twelve to forty two (it's a weird song that one, it uses the hook of the Red Hot Chili Peppers classic) and Lightbouse Family stimbled six spots to forty with "Raincloud".

SOAP's "Ladidi Ladida" got hit with some seven place ladida to thirty six while "Thank U" by Alanis Morrisette slid from twenty six to thirty three.

Spice Girls 1998 top ten smash "Viva Forever" tumbled from twenty four to sixteen while Five's "Everybody Get Up" utterly just sit down hard to go from nine to twenty one...ouch. 

Gains

We got a decently big amount of gains here with "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston rose ten places to twenty three. 

Mousse T. vs Hot 'n' Juicy continue to get spicy as "Horny '98" climbed seven spots to fourteen.

LCD are dancing up nine to fifteen with "Zorba's Dance" while people agree with Stardust as "Music Sounds Better With You" climbed eleven slots to seventeen. Pandora's "A Little Bit" jumped twelve slots to twenty six. George Michael's "Outside" also did the twelve spot drive up to thirty.

Hole's pretty great song "Malibu" got a huge leap from forty nine to thirty one. 

Re-Entries

Just one return with "If You Buy This Record Your Life WIll Be Better" by The Tamperer feat. Maya back at forty one.

New Entries

Three new entries this week and to start our travel through 1999, let's start with...

49. "Body Movin'" by Beastie Boys

So this is the follow up to the successful "Intergalactic", its the second single from Beastie Boys fifth album "Hello Nasty" and it sucks to say that we are off to a rough start in 1999 in the reviews because geezus christ, how mant times must the title of the song be repeated until it gets completely tiresome makes me want to throw things out the window and I lost interest in the song even with that nicely used sample of "Fydo" by The Byrds. The Beastie Boys are capable of so much better than THIS as they proved with "Intergalactic" in 1998. 

45. "Doo Woop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill

It kind of feels redundant to write about this song because dear god...this song comes from Hill's debut solo album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill". The song's subject matter is a warning to African-American wen and women to be careful when they are caught in 'the struggle" especially guys who are into the rims of their car, shoes and their women while ladies are warned not to let "that thing" ruin their lives. Its definitely more conservative leaning but hey, that production and Lauryn Hill's voice make this song one that must be heard. Great song!

43. "I Want You Back" by *NSYNC

So we have a Max Martin written dance-pop song from an American boyband called *NSYNC, this being the lead single from their self titled debut album and really...it's pretty standard bpyband song about how this girl is all he ever wanted and needed in his life and now that she is gone, he wants her back but the production has this weird layer of creepiness, it just feels a bit too dark for a song all about trying to win back the affections of this girl who has clearly up and left for good reason. *NSYNC do have some nice moments of good harmonies but overall...not really a fan of this.

Yeah, that wraps up the week and "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill is absolutely running away with best of the week. "Body Movin'" by Beastie Boys nabs the worst for being an annoyance to my eardrums.

ARIA Singles top 50 Chart Review: 29th December

So final week of 2025 and well...we got something of an interesting week at hand here even if most of the top ten did not move AT ALL so lets dive into all of that because "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean remains at nnumber one, yeah it managed to hold on to it's streaming lead over its rivals despite getting slowly usurped by Christmas music. 

Holding position from two to eight in order are "Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift, "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters, "Ordinary" by Alex Warren, "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean, "Where is My Husband" by Raye, "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe and "12 to 12" by Sombr.

Olivia Dean's "Nice to Each Other" rebounded one spot to number nine, it pushed past "I Run" by HVN and Kaitlin Aragon down one to number ten.

Losers

So I am going to align the top 50 blogs wuth retrospective blogs and do the songs thatl lost big first. Boy, it was a rough week for Tate McRae with "Just Keep Watching" down seven to forty nine and "Sports Car" down nine to forty eight. 

The small mercy of "Dracula" by Tame Impala down six to forty one is a relief. this song is a contender for my worst list...I'll be glad when it's gone, the same goes for "The Days (Notion remix)" by Chrystal down six to thirty three.

"Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars slumped eight to twenty seven.

Gains

Three major gains with all three songs hitting new peaks beginning with "Chanel" by Tyla which jumped seven places to fifteen. "Phantom" by EsDeeKid and Rico Ace up ten to twenty one but most pleasingly "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean actually jumped eight spots to thirty six! PLEASE PLEASE LET "REIN ME IN" become a hit in 2026.

Drop Outs

We have four major drop outs this week. "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga, "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, "Eternity" by Alex Warren and "How it's Done" from K-Pop Demon Hunters. 

New Entries

Four new entries this week, two of them from EsDeeKid. but we start with...

50. "I've Seen It" by Olivia Dean.

So we're stepping away from the neo soul into some a gentle guitar where Olivia Dean muses on the ups and downs of love, it's a rather reflective song that I am not sure fits with the best songs on "The Art of Loving" but its certainly simple enough that even though it's only five verses and no hook that I can see why it charted. Good song but should be so much better.

45. "Century" by EsDeeKid

This is EsDeeKid's first single from his much anticipated debut album Rebel and while he and the production on this song sound menacing enough (it sounds like a slightly less nihilistic Futture song) but just with more bragging that he got the latest season fashion drop, real diamonds instead of the fake ones everyone else apparently has and he rides around in a Mercedes Benz except again the production doesn't really sell the luxury of any of this, it's too dark, Esdeekid has some talent but he needs to work on finding the right sound to fit his songs because yeah I'm skipping this.

29. "It Feels Like Christmas" by Fall Out Boy

There is a part of me that feels sad that Fall Out Boy couldn't notch a hit via "Love from the Other Side" in 2023 and that a Christmas song from this band is the only slither of rock on the ARIA singles chart right now but alas, what did we get from Patrick Stump and co? Well turns out this  is a cover of the song from The Muppets Christmas Carol movie and was recorded for Spotify  I am going to be kind to this as it is not going to stick around, it's cute, Patrick Stump sounds on form even if I think the vocals can get buried a bit in the mix. It's cute. Check it out if you are curious.

28. "4 Raws" by EsDeeKid

Second go around with Esdeekid this week and again a menacing atomsphere in the production and this time he is rapping about his past, substance abuse and his hidden personality (I've yet to see any actual personality from this guy, what do you mean he has more than one) and really this song is just so short and when none of the bars really come through with much of a bunch other than your standard bragging about riding around in German cars, it leaves me with no reason to care, 

And that wraps the final week of 2025, I am giving worst of the week to "Century" by EsDeeKid...I just  feel like the song is missing something, Best is going to Fall Out Boy for "It Feels Like Christmas"...its cute and a bit cheesy but hey, it's nice to end the year on something a bit camp. 

All 4 1994: 25th December. Take A Hot Hot Bow, Devil!

So this is it for 1994, huh, a meaty chunk of new arrivals and plenty of movement across the board that makes this week a fair bit more interesting especially going into 1995 and well, it's not interesting right at the very top of the charts because The Cranberries have number one on lock right now thanks to "Zombie", it's sitting pretty thanks to having such a strong sales margin, it's going into 1995 looking pretty.

"All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey which jumped five places to number two presumably because it's Christmas and all a lot of people wnant to do is listen to Christmas music, I don't forsee it making a run at number one however it did move past "Tomorrow" by Silverchair at number three, "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow at number four, "Always" by Bon Jovi at number five. "Short Dick Man" by 20 Fingers feat. Gillette at number six and "If I Only Knew" by Tom Jones at number seven. 

"Turn the Beat Around" by Gloria Estefan continues to get raw on the dancefloor up one spot to number eight although that could be because "Chains" by Tina Arena is effectively done at this point down one to number nine. 

Rising three places into the top ten is "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men at number ten because Australia just loves it's slop. 

Losers

So the losers begin with former number two hit "Endless Love" by Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey slumping from thirty three to forty eight looks like the public's love for this song is not endless after all!

"Spin the Black Circle" by Pearl Jam continues to spin the wrong down this week down eleven to thirty five. 

"Sooner or Later" by GF4 plummeted ten spots to thirty one after the song stalled out at number twelve (which I am okay with...I still don't like that song).

More from Madonna in the new entries but "Secret" slipped from sxiteen to twenty four. 

Gains

The problem going into 1995 might be the utter inane crap that is rising, let's start with goddamn "Baby, Come Back" by Pato Banton feat. Ali and Robin Campbell which somehow continues gain, this week it's up eight to eighteen.

The Stone Roses at least got a decent twelve place gain to thirty six with "Love Spreads" while "Sure" by Take That bounces around like a zoomy cat up twelve spots to thirty seven. 

New Entries

Five songs new to the chart this week so let's start this exploration with...

49. “Hot Hot Hot” by Arrow

Stick with me for this one because we're kicking off the week with a remastered version of a 1982 song from a Montserrat musician known as Arrow which apparently peaked at fifty nine in the UK in 1984 and it's fair to say I get the appeal here as the percussion kick up quite the stomping rhythm before the horns kick in and it actually really sounds like a summer party on tape which is perfect for Australia at this time of year, I won't say it's for me but I can see plenty of fun being had with this...check it out if you are curious.

45. “Seether” by Veruca Salt

This song comes from Veruca Salt's album "American Thighs" and is a more pop leaning than the rest of the album and you are can tell, there definitely some more pop concessions in the sound of this sound from the hook to even the vocal delivery. Lead vocalist Nina Gordon told an interview that the song could well be about the feminine urge to sometimes rage and how rage is occasionally something that someone cannot fight and they have to go with it and let their emotions out. Solid song but I just can't get behind the vocals especially with the subject matter of the song. 

43. “Sight for Sore Eyes” by M People

So somehow this is the tenth single from M People's album "Bizarre Fruit" and this one has more of a gospel tinge that combines decently with the groove supplied by the percussion and the piano, it's supposoed to be this song where this other person is so beautiful and handsome to the point where they are a sight for sore eyes...its fine enough but it's not anything I'll remember in a month's time. 

21. “Take a Bow” by Madonna

Latest single from Madonna's album "Bedtime Stories" and I have to say this sounds really nice on the ear, it's a gentle ballad that Madonna just sounds incredible over especially with those strings which should not have surprised me as much as it did considering she collaborated with Babyface for this song. The somber tone of the song makes sense given the subject material all about unrequited love and saying goodbye to a relationship. I really like this a lot, definitely one of Madonna's better efforts so far in the nineties. 

15. Sympathy for the Devil” by Guns ‘n’ Roses

I cannot be the only one giggling that the final song to be covered for 1994 is a song all about having sympathy for the devil and it debuting on the Australian chart on Christmas Day...now come on...it's almost too perfect however was anyone really asking for this cover of the Rolling Stones song that strips away Axl Rose of his personality and Guns 'N' Roses made to sound like "Freedom" by George Michael? This song just really sounds like Guns N' Roses have been neutered and I cannot imagine listening to this at any point. 

Yeah, it's very obviously worst of the week but the best is going to Madonna for "Take a Bow".

That's wraps up it up for the top 50 chart in 1994, stay tuned for the top ten best and worst hit songs lists. On Sunday January 3rd, we begin to look at the top 50 charts of 1999,

ARIA Singles Top 50 Chart Review: 22nd December

 So it's really quiet week this week so let's just dive straight into the top ten where for yet another week, it's "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean tremaining at number one thanks mostly to streaming, it held up over "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift at nimber two, "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters at number three and "Ordinairy" by Alex Warren at number four. 

Rising one spot to number five this week is "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean while RAYE's "Where is My Husband" also climbed one spot to number six, although that could be because "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe slipped two places to number seven (frankly. I am hoping this song is on the way out).

"12 to 12" by Sombr rebounded one spot to number eight...its streaming has been bouncing around a bit lately.

Returning back to it's debut slot of number nine is 'I Run" by HVN feat. Kaitlin Aragon while down two to number ten is "Nice to Each Other" by Olivia Dean. 

Gains

Up eight sllots to forty is "Sailor Song" by Gigi Perez as it continues to hang around the lower end of the chart.

More annoyingly "Phantom" by EsDeeKid and Rico Ace is up twelve slots to thirty one however at least "Chanel" by Tyla is up nine to twenty two this week...I'm happy it got a gain despite the Christmas/New Year slow down. 

Re-Entries

So we did see "Eternity" by Alex Warren make its unfortunate return at fifty but I am delighted that "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean is back at number forty four. 

Losers

Not too many big losers but we did see "How It's Done" from K-Pop Demon Hunters slde nine spots to forty eight.

Drop Outs

Two massive songs dropped out this week with those being chart mainstay "Not Like Us" by kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter's 'number four hit "Tears"

So with no new entries to review for the second week in a row, that wraps the week up. Final week of the chart year and indeed the final week of the 1994 retrospective, I may have the final week of "All 4 1994" up on Christmas Eve and that is looking rather meaty with Guns 'n' Roses and Madonna among the "new entries", we'll have to see. 

All 4 1994: 18th December You Want A Blame Day Coma

The year is slowly winding down but the drama on the top 50 singles chart has not slowed because we got yet another new number one this week, this time, it's The Cranberries notching their first chart topper with "Zombie" rising one spot to the top., it got there thanks to some absolutely enormous streaming.

As a result, "Tomorrow" by Silverchair returned to number two because the previous week's number one "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow slumped back to number three...purely due to "Zombie" having an incredible week on sales. 

Remaining at number four is "Always" by Bon Jovi while much to my shock and absolute disgust "Short Dick Man" by 20 Fingers feat. Gillette rose three slots to number five...ugh, it pushed past "If I Only Knew" by Tom Jones down one to number six. 

Christmas is in the air so "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey climbs five spots to number seven as Tina Arena's "Chains" appears to be heading out of the top ten down one to number eight while "Turn the Beat Around"  by Gloria Estefan and "Come Out and Play" by The Offspring hold steady at nine and ten respectively. 

Losers

"Regulate" by Warren G and Nate Dogg slipped twelve spots to fifty this week and looks like it's in need of some regulation to stay on the chart next week. 

"Sure" by Take That continued to lose ground this week down ten spots to number forty nine.

Former top ten hit "Swamp Thing" by The Grid slipped eight to forty four while "Ain't Nobody" by Jaki Grahm tumbled eleven spots to forty three. 

 "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails collapsed from twenty one to thirty six this week while "I Swear" by All 4 One felt an eight spot swear off to number thirty five. 

Also down eight is Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey's cover of "Endless Love", it's at number thirty three. The nightlife is getting a bit much for Alicia Bridges as her hit "I Love the Nightlife" is down seven to thirty one. 

"Spin the Black Circle" by Pearl Jam spun the chart circle and itself down eleven to twenty four. 

Gains

So the gains this week are mostly of songs that look like they will be huge to start 1995 with "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men rising nine spots to thirteen and "Here Comes the Hotstepper" by Ini Kamooze up from forty eight all the way to twenty three.

Then there's the continued gains for "Cruise Control" by Severed Heads which climbed from thirty seven to twenty two.

Re-Entries

One re-entry with "The Rhythm of the Night" by Coronoa back at number forty two. 

'New Entries

Fiur new entries this week beginning with...

47, “Bang and Blame” by R.E.M'

So R.E.M have been on a run outs with me with singles lately so I have to hope this newest single would work for me? Well yes and no as yet again the vocals again get buried on the hook and Michael Stipe doesn't even sound all that convincing on that hook...singing "bang bang bang" repeatedly for the hook. The instrumentation sounds ifne enough but no...this one doesn't work at all for me. Next!

40. “Coma” by Max Sharam

Max Sharam is an Australian-American multi discipline singer songwriter with this song coming from an EP of the same name released in 1005 and I will say it's one of the more interesting songs to have hit the top 50 in recent times! The verses remind me a lot of middle eastern music or maybe a little bit of Bjork before diving into a hook that sounds about standard for pop/rock but she sounds absolutely great and the hook does work for what it's worth, I do like th9s and hope it sticks around. Check this out!

32. “You Want This” by Janet Jackson

The seventh single from Janet's 1993 album "Janet" and this one bares a lot of hallmarks back to her output on "Rhythm Nation" with more industrial sounds and noises on the song and I have to say that they really feel unnecessary in a song where Janet is making this guy, who clearly is attracted to her, work to be the object of her affectons and as a result the noises take any kind of tension sexual or otherwise out of the song. It's not bad, it's just got one or two misplaced elements that ruin the song. 

20. “Stay Another Day” by East 17

Trigger warning: Mentions of suicide.

Third single from East 17's second album and really there's not much I can say about this one, a piano ballad that occasionally brings in some decent strings and there's a reason for that, this song is about those conversations with those loved ones before that loved one take their own life or dies and this song wishes that those loved ones could stay another day. 

It's a sentiment that...yeah...I can get behind and as a result I am going to be very gentle on this because it's not really bad but not a song I would seek out myself. 

So that wraps up the week with best of the week going to "Coma" by Max Sharam. Worst of the week is going to R.E.M for "Bang and Blame".
