Doing this challenge made me firm up what I like about the 2020s and realise more than ever that people who think current music has stagnated are just weird. Surges of creativity across Africa, Asia and South America; a golden generation of women pop stars; tons of funny, filthy rap - good times!

1. CHAPPELL ROAN - “Good Luck, Babe!” (24, USA) - 12 POINTS
How do you do fellow normies? First time I heard this I thought “that chorus is like Dragostea Din Tei (derogatory)” but NOW I think “that chorus is like Dragostea Din Tei (complimentary)”

… That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Dog’s got the shits, child off school with a cold, two chippies and a plasterer in the house with two different radio stations on, wife away with work and four hour long work meetings in the diary.

Bloody hell, absolutely damning. Disqualifying, even.
Robbie Gibb describes the BBC's Political Editor Chris Mason as the "unsung hero of covering politics" and "absolutely first rate"

Newsnight is just a political chat show now.
Remember when Newsnight had twenty-minute Gabriel Gatehouse reportage packages followed by ten minutes of Steve Rosenberg in Moscow instead of Piers Morgan and a teenager from The Telegraph?
Pardon my French but they’re getting a shallow showbiz shithouse on to talk about Ukraine FOR FUCKS SAKE BBC YOU ARE NOT HELPING YOURSELF WITH THIS SORT OF THING

Very close call between my no. 1&2 but Chappell just misses out.

Just remembered at the match yesterday, when Tonali was talking a corner someone yelled 'Whip it!' and some other guy went 'whip it good!'. #nufc

Felt smug in Fenwicks yesterday before the match when I noticed the premium Xmas puds were £25 and remembering I bought the same one back in January for £6 to put away for this year. Still in date obviously.

Increasingly clear that Thiaw is the buy of the summer for us. Even though we could've got him for less a few months earlier, his fee looks like a bargain already. #nufc
Went back and watched the entire #NUFC win against Man City and it seems another indication that Malick Thiaw is increasingly looking like an absolute steal.
Cool in possession, read the game brilliantly and showed he was willing to mix it physically with Haaland. Outstanding!

Incredible thread, history in real time.
ICYMI: astonishingly detailed and fascinating thread about BBC TV's schedule of Fri 22 Nov 1963 which began as just a normal Friday.
It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.
I'm quite pleased with this one...

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*
This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.
Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?
