Just a load of US drama accounts as far as I can see and to be honest, good fucking riddance

Unsurprisingly, she also takes the top 12 single slots as well

303k now including streaming. More than the rest of the top 200 albums combined.

Taylor Swift has sold 204k copies of her album on day one in the UK which is phenomenal. And that is just physical copies, doesn’t include streams. Approaching 100k over a week is normally seen as a major 1st week success for reference. Silly numbers.

Although I did finish breaking bad, a lot of the time I’m completely put off by how many episodes I’d need to watch to complete any of these big US shows. Maybe when it was on weekly tv it made sense.

Be a shame if the apprentice prick is the first person voted off strictly wouldn’t it

It’s weirdly counterproductive to me, if there was a general sense that people thought it was silly but fine I wouldn’t have been so annoyed but they pitch the online chatter at best-programme-ever level and that properly winds me up

Has the backlash started yet where all the paid online promoters payment period expires and real people start to be able to say it was shit without being piled on?

The progress we’ve made! Once upon a time the entire world of internet slang could be written on one page but now 6 7 gets its own wikipedia page

Doing some book research into the mid-90s internet - this is a glossary from The Internet For Beginners, Usborne, 1997. It has made me feel very nostalgic

Would highly recommend the Leon Vynehall album for your listening pleasure. Or just Cruel Love if you’ve only got time for a taster.

How do you get a dream to go from dark to light because mine will always start fairly innocuously and end up with the serial killer and me waking up terrified
