✰✰✰ PJ MONTHLY CHARTS '25: JANUARY ✰✰✰ Reveals done!

He/Him
How does she keep having music released?
After her massive success in the 60s, Dalida used her money to start a Record Label with her brother Orlando, so she could have greater control of her career. She released everything through this label (Orlando Records) from then on out, and Orlando (to this day) continues to ensure her catalog stays current, and makes it easy for collaborators who want to use her hits in these fashions!
 
So which twigs songs are we getting behind? I'm voting for Striptease and Girl Feels Good 4sure.

I was going to suggest supporting "Striptease", not only it's my fave out of the new tracks but also got a music video.


And here are two French albums worthy of supporting:



(only the first 10 tracks are the newest album, the rest are songs from her previous albums. Interestingly, one of these songs is titled "Abracadabra")


 
Introducing the...

POPJUSTICE MONTHLY CATCH-UP


What is it?
The new and improved watch2gether format! The idea is for it to be a lot more concise and streamlined than before, and hopefully for it not to be strictly a monthly charts-only thing, but rather a forum-wide activity!


What's the point?
As the title implies, it's a fun way to catch up on the month's releases and music videos with your fellow PJers, to introduce others to your faves and make a few discoveries of your own, and obviously a way to help sort your monthly charts ballots, though people who don't take part in these charts are also welcome to take part.


How does it work?
Everyone can submit up to five songs they want to be played in the session through a form, and then I'll compile a 60 song/~3 hour playlist based on people's submissions, this thread and the monthly Spotify playlist, and we'll watch it together at the assigned time.


What songs can be submitted?
Singles released on the month in question, preferably with music videos/visualisers. That last part isn't mandatory, but it does make for a more engaging session.


Will all my picks be played?
That depends on how many people submit songs, but at least some of them definitely will. And anything submitted by multiple people will definitely be played, as long as it meets the rules above.


When will it take place?
5PM GMT on the Saturday after the last (New Music) Friday of the month. In other words, the first session will be tomorrow.


How long will it be?
60 songs/~3 hours, but obviously people are free to join for as long as long as they want, whether it's the whole session or just a few minutes to see what it's like.


The first session will be tomorrow at 5PM here. You can submit your songs here.

If anything isn't clear or if anyone has any questions, please let me know!


 
Expecting this will get some points from @Phonetics Girl and @4Roses



Yes, thank you! A perfect blend of Neon Jungle, 00s The Veronicas, YONAKA! Hunt You Down is my fave PJSC entry since forever! @Music Is Life & Death I have a feeling you might enjoy this!

Speaking of, I really loved the new Kelsy Karter album in all its unabashed 80s rock glory!
@unnameable, for your consideration


And probably my favourite Samia song to date
