Yay for Demi!!

Posted by: M.I.É. Apr 12 2012, 11:47 AM

Fantastic top 3. Really hoping Gotye can take over the #1 from fun. with the extra promo from The Voice and Glee which has given him a huge lead on iTunes.

Good to see Calvin still climbing but he's well and truly gone and done a Tinie, let's just hope his next single (presumably 'Let's Go') doesn't bomb as hard as 'Till I'm Gone' did

Big climb for Rumour Has It, it's not quite taking off as quickly as I thought it would but it is making its way up there and should easily give her at least a fourth top ten hit.

Another new peak for Ellie, hopefully it can break the top 50 next week Also a new peak of #75 for 'One Thing', I hope this can go on to be as big as WMYB.

Boo at Paradise, Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep dropping out.

The top 2 is very nice the rest of the top 5 however is TERRIBLE

Posted by: Euphorique Apr 12 2012, 12:31 PM

Boring top2. Hoping something can move past them

Posted by: Liаm Apr 12 2012, 12:49 PM

Perfect top 10 actually, although I'm going off Wild Ones!

Decent debuts for J-Lo and Demi, hope the former goes top 10 soon and the latter at least top 40!

Posted by: HausofKubrick Apr 12 2012, 12:52 PM

Great to see Kanye at #38 - should be a nice climb for it next week too!

Also great to see Gotye and The Wanted overtaking Bieber

Posted by: jkac Apr 12 2012, 01:13 PM

Was hoping ellie would be in the 50's but she should go top 50 next week if she maintains her position on iTunes.

Posted by: SKOB Apr 12 2012, 01:22 PM

Bieber is doing so well! In 2 weeks Boyfriend has sold a lot more than the latest Katy Perry single did, for example.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 12 2012, 01:28 PM

Oh well that's Gotye certain for #1 next week - after being used on Idol and Glee it looks like it has a huge enough lead to sell enough to combat the airplay he lacks on fun.!

Posted by: Umi Apr 12 2012, 02:14 PM

Good week overall. New peak for Calvin I think and a big climb for Rumour Has It makes me happy. I wonder will they bother with the video for that after all.

Not as good a start for J-Lo as I'd expected but a very strong start for Demi, I wonder could that song actually be a hit.

Ellie is blah, it's next week that will be exciting for her.

Posted by: Slick Apr 12 2012, 02:21 PM

I am thrilled as ever to see all of the British success. I genuinely like The Wanted and One Direction so I'm glad to see them both in the Top 5, and Adele is superb so to see Rumour Has It almost Top 20 after selling 80 trillion of her album is amazing.

Posted by: THEO. Apr 12 2012, 05:06 PM

Not that they're comparable in the slightest, but he hasn't. "Part of Me" currently stands at 1,238,000 sales, so Justin's got almost half a million to make up on that...

Posted by: gooddelta Apr 12 2012, 05:15 PM

Seems surreal to see The Wanted and One Direction simultaneously top five in the US! Very much approving of the general state of the top ten, two Canadian acts, two Brits, two Australians and one New Zealander to join all the US artists, great to see the US more open to international acts than a long time. Seems like a different chart to the one of eight years ago - everything that wasn't US urban was completely locked out of the upper reaches, there isn't even any urban IN this top ten!

Posted by: SKOB Apr 12 2012, 05:17 PM

I was comparing their two week totals though, of course POM is ahead overall since it's a month older.

Posted by: Eric_Blob Apr 12 2012, 05:44 PM

Good to see Kanye and T.I. made the Hot 100.

Gutted that Kendrick Lamar missed out though. I thought he'd make it since he got pretty high on iTunes. It's such a good song.

Such a good top 2 aswell. And it's good to see One Direction and The Wanted doing so well there. They may aswell just stay in the US tbh!! They seem very liked over there, whilst they get a lot of hate in the UK imo.

Posted by: THEO. Apr 12 2012, 05:45 PM

Well you didn't mention that, and they're still not comparable as artists.

Posted by: Jáhq Apr 12 2012, 05:52 PM

Didn't expect 'One Thing' to re-enter this week, especially at #75, but a great week for the Brits. Gotye will probably be #1 next week or the week after, depends what exactly the streaming gap is and although Gotye is climbing well on airplay, fun. are still widening that gap right now.

No, you just read it the wrong way to what was actually intended.

Posted by: Eric_Blob Apr 12 2012, 05:55 PM

fun. are falling on streaming I think now, so that'll help Gotye for next week. I think fun. will win overall, but Gotye has a MASSIVE lead on iTunes now so maybe not. Not really fussed tbh, Gotye will get 6+ weeks at #1 anyway down the line I think.

Posted by: jmarkiv Apr 12 2012, 09:40 PM

She said she may shoot a vid for it, did we ever hear anything about it? Ideally, will be nice if she can put in an AI appearance as airplay is starting to increase now. The song should go top 10 but a bit of promo can give her a top 5 (or even a #1 hit).

Posted by: Craigella Apr 12 2012, 10:21 PM

I don't see why not, they both make awful bland pop music aimed at pre-pubecant girls

Posted by: Big Mistake Apr 13 2012, 12:46 PM

where is the video for Adele's Rumor Has It or Set Fire To The Rain???? God that woman is sooo lazy, she's the biggest selling artist in the world by far wothout any promotion whatsoever, no videos, rarre TV appearances..

If someone said back in the year 2007 that we would have 2 British Boybands in the US top 5 five years later, they would think it's an April's fool joke.... it's coming TRUE I wish that the US would've been more aware of British talent at its peak in the 90's and early 2000's, they missed out on a lot of UK/Irish great boy bands such as Take That, East 17, Five, Boyzone, Westlife, MN8, 911 and solo singers such as Robbie Williams & Solo Spice Girls to name but a few.... not mentioning the amazing rock bands that emerged back then....

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra Apr 13 2012, 01:31 PM

What? Take That's "Back For Good" and Five's "When The Lights Go Out" were both U.S. top ten hits!

And Westlife are terrible, but they still were able to go top 30 with "Swear It Again" in the U.S.

Posted by: ¿ CHARLIE ? Apr 13 2012, 01:35 PM

Coldplay contradict that last statement - they and Radiohead were the biggest things in mainstream rock around 2000-1 and both have had stellar success in the US.

Posted by: Karma Apr 13 2012, 02:41 PM

Did being the key word, if SKOB had said has then they meant overall. But as Jahq said you just read it wrong.

I think Boyfriend will end up selling more then Part Of Me, POM hasnt actually done as well as i would have thought, but obviously has done well.

I think you can definitely compare them, both make pop music which is the main reason why they definitely can be compared (cheesy pop at times ) and both have huge female fanbases.

Bieber doesnt have a video out yet, whens that out?

Cant believe The Wanted & One D are #3 and #4, who would have thought that last year

Posted by: Consie Apr 13 2012, 04:24 PM

I agree with your overall point but must disagree that late 90s/early 2000s were a peak for music from the UK. 1999-2002 was dominated by S Club 7, Ronan Keating, B-Witched, Atomic Kitten... then came all the reality TV no-names and bad pop-punk boybands. Of course I liked many of these acts back in the day but I don't think any of them will be remembered into the future.

I think at that time, the music scene in the UK was stagnated with bubble gum boy/girlbands. And the US music scene was really innovating with hip/hop and R&B. Britney, Destiny's Child, Eminem, etc. were miles ahead of UK pop acts. BUT, we all know within a few years it was the UK that was innovating and the US scene that had stagnated... dominated by increasingly dull and insipid hip/hop and "crunk."

From 2005 onward, the UK scene has had a HUGE effect on improving and adapting US charts, pop radio, and the scene overall. Music out of the UK/Ireland is leading the world right now and FAR improved from 10 years ago.

Posted by: Big Mistake Apr 13 2012, 05:23 PM

yes but Take That and Five only had one hit each, so they don't have a "career" in the US...
they had tens of great hits in the UK which could also have been US hits....

Posted by: Big Mistake Apr 13 2012, 05:25 PM

yeah but there are a lot of more talented UK rock/alternative bands that went unnoticed in the US, Levellers, Ocean Color Scene, Cast, Blur, Pulp, Manic Street Preachers, which all had really negligible careers in the US comparing to their UK & rest of the world careers....

Posted by: Big Mistake Apr 13 2012, 05:30 PM

i don't think having a chart full of bland hip hop/rap & country music that doesn't sell anywhere in the world except the US could be called innovation really.... while pop music from the UK was charting all over the world, (Five, Steps, B*Witched, Westlife, Solo Spices.....) the US failed to import any of their mainstream hip hop/ country acts which was ruling during that period... Garth Brooks is the biggest selling artist in the US for the 90's and he failed to sell much outside the US....

Posted by: Consie Apr 13 2012, 06:42 PM

Well I was referring more to the period of 1998-2002. Led by Timberland, Dark Child, Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, etc., US R&B and hip/hop were really breaking new musical ground at the time. I agree that by the mid-2000's it was becoming dull and boring. I do have to point out that early two-step/garage out of the UK was also very fresh and always deserved more recognition and popularity in the US.

Besides, Garth Brooks may have been the biggest album seller in the US but Billboard declared Mariah Carey the top artist of the 90s. She certainly sold well globally... garnering 22 top 40 hits in the UK that decade...

Posted by: Eric_Blob Apr 13 2012, 06:53 PM

However, I honestly think the dance/electropop domination we have now led on from "crunk" (I'm prepared to write a massive essay explaining why I think this if needs be ), so there's possibly a silver lining in that.

Posted by: Big Mistake Apr 14 2012, 10:58 AM

Maybe, but most of the artists in the US charts at the time were unrecognizable outside the US, but we still have a 40% share now of unrecognizable US artists but way down from the 90's and 00's....
