Starting off my project to listen to every UK number One right at the beginning (where else)
So please, have a read of what I thought about 1952 and 1953s biggest hits
Anyone know the superstar below?

Launched a new music newsletter today, would mean a lot if you'd take a look
I'm about to embark on a mission to listen to all 1400+ UK no.1 singles and if you sign up (it's free) you can read all about it
And there'll be loads more as well

Coming off the back of the Enygma Series, all the entrants who didn't make the final face off to see who can move forward with momentum
A lot of combustible elements in one ring at the same time seems a guarantee of chaos

Lily Winter and Leah Raven impressed in their first outing as a team but weren't able to pick up the win, they team again against the debuting Scottish duo of Angel Hayze and Moxie Malone, who will be looking to make their own major statement

Lucy Sky wanted new challenges as she establishes her reign as Women's Champion, so in comes a debuting Hollie Barlow
Not just a first time ever match but a chance for Barlow to leap to the top of the company, or Sky to establish her spot right there

The match where Scotty Rawks won the CATCHweight championship nearly involved Vusyk, so it's only right that Rawk starts his reign defending against someone who must still feel that if he'd been in that match there might be a different champion today

The undefeated Big T has been waiting for a title shot for a long time, and now he finally has one, facing the always dangerous champion
T has beaten varied opponents in the past, but against someone as versatile as Phillips, will he walk out undefeated and with gold, or will it be back to square 1?

Two of the North Wests best collide in a match that not only has the Enygma Series on the line, but also years of history between the two men involved
Over a potential 3 falls we'll see who will go on to a title match in the future

Almost impossibly good at his best

Probably the only connective tissue between these two is they passed on the same day but for very different reasons I'm grateful for the work they left us with

An epic book
The work that's gone in is balanced out by how well the whole thing is written
The only reason I've put it down is because it's massive and I have to occasionally rest
