UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e September 14th 2017

Taylor Swift stays at No.1 in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e September 14th 2017, with Look What You Made Me Do. It’s as bland as anything else she’s put out, but her fans will be pleased as after over ten years of releasing music, this is her first UK No.1. There’s something in the video with a phone call about how “The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now because… she’s dead”, so she’s trying to revamp herself. Madonna, she ain’t.

Released this week is a brand new track from George Michael… sort-of. It’s an old B-side called Fantasy, recently remixed by Nile Rodgers, but which was originally on the back side of the Freedom ’90 12″. I’ll include both versions below. Which do you prefer?
