If I had one wish…
🚨 Chelsea exploring move to sign Danny Welbeck from Brighton & Hove Albion. Terms end 2027 & #BHAFC aware of interest. Early stage but optimism on all sides deal can be done; quality + leadership appeals to Alonso / #CFC @TheAthleticFC post @kierangill_DM nytimes.com/athletic/7472493…
Honestly, the level of comprehension across all subject matters when it comes to reviews is wild. Someone once claimed that a label had a ‘review contract’ because something got a high mark. Can’t even get most labels to take a 1/4 page! And that’s a whole other issue.
Unambiguously the best of all the bands.
Tune into @BBCR1 to be the first to hear Bloom Baby Bloom 🌻🌻🌻

Might as well do things properly.

The undertones of Sarah Smith's reporting on the happenings in Washington today on the @BBCNews 10 o'clock bulletin is an absolute disgrace in and of itself.
At this point I'd support DPD's customer services being listed as a hate group. Though I suppose a hate group has to actually exist.
There’s so much stuff in this issue it’s actually nuts. Full Hype List online in Jan but you can get ahead of the game in here. Plus end of year lists, 2025 previews, bands do Xmas and loads more.
HRRRNK! Our HUGE end of year double issue - featuring the Hype List 2025 - is available NOW. Packed with the best new talent for the year ahead, you can grab a copy and find out more here.

All I'd say about the Sound of list is that it floored me how almost all the 'PR email campaigning' acts I'd consider 'established' made it on, and how few that didn't did, and that that makes the panel look daft if you're party to seeing that. And I say that as someone on it.
(I absolutely love a lot of the acts on that list, but I couldn't with good faith vote for them in this context, even with the changed criteria)
