Hi Richard, Time to check out the future...today. :D

 

1. Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite (2) (CR-5-5-1-1-1-2-1)

 

I've now posted my full rankings of all 39 Eurovision entries for 2010. There's only 10 songs that I really like to the point I'd be happy to listen to the track out of choice. The tracks at the bottom, I can't believe those countries felt they were good enough to represent their country in 2010. :lol:

 

3. Roll Deep - Good Times (5) (CR-49-25-11-7-4-5-3)

5. Alphabeat - DJ (28) (CR-49-31-16-6-11-21-35-OUT-45-OUT-28-5)

7. Edward Maya feat Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love (10) (CR-38-37-35-28-34-OUT-42-36-29-10-7)

 

Here's the amazing yo-yo style chart run 'Stereo Love' had in my chart late 2009/early 2010: 03-09-17-22-22-13-23-23-16. Then it dropped out of the top 20 and continued falling. 'This Is My Life' is now in my chart at #4.

 

8. Stromae - Alors On Danse (9) (CR-41-39-25-18-12-9-8)

 

"alors on danse" ** saxophone ** ^_^ Probably the biggest European hit of 2010? It certainly looks that way. Stromae is storming so many charts across Europe and has now spent two weeks at no. 1 in my personal chart. The track has a unique charm that really appeals to me.

 

9. Boyzone - Love Is A Hurricane (8) (CR-19-14-11-12-10-14-8-9)

10. Diana Vickers - Once (4) (CR-30-30-42-OUT-30-17-13-4-10)

11. Feminnem - Lako Je Sve (6) (CR-45-47-OUT-41-24-11-6-11)

12. The Pipettes - So I’ll Say Goodbye (3) (CR-2-3-12)

13. Richard Vission & Static Revenger starring Luciana - I Like That (20) (CR-36-20-13)

14. Safura - Drip Drop (11) (CR-50-10-4-4-7-11-14)

15. N-Dubz feat Bodyrox - We Dance On (NEW) (CR-15)

 

I saw the video on Chart Show TV. Well, the video has already started so I caught the video from about halfway through. I was listening to the track thinking "this isn't bad". Then I saw clips of Diversity in the video and then thought "Diversity haven't released a single?". Then it came up at the end....N DUBZ!!! I couldn't believe it. :lol: This must be the first N-Dubz song I've actually liked.

 

19. Anna Bergendahl - This Is My Life (22) (CR-28-7-3-6-10-20-20-22-19)

20. Niamh Kavanagh - It’s For You (17) (CR-38-3-6-9-8-6-8-17-20)

 

This song has really grown on me. To say there are a few big ballads in this years Eurovision is an understatement but this is by far one of the best.

 

23. Boyzone - Gave It All Away (16) (CR-4-2-6-9-13-12-5-4-7-3-3-5-9-16-23) Longest Runner

24. Caro Emerald - A Night Like This (15) (CR-13-8-4-2-2-2-5-15-24)

26. Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart (31) (CR-2-1-1-3-4-6-11-12-16-16-18-25-OUT-31-26)

28. TV Rock feat Rudy - In The Air (Axwell Remix) (13) (CR-32-15-13-28)

29. B.o.B. feat Bruno Mars - Nothin’ On You (33) (CR-41-35-33-29)

 

I think this song is excellent and I'm actually hoping this does go to no. 1 in the UK to make up for some really surprisingly poor no. 1 singles already this year. Watch it go and peak at #2!!! :drama:

 

30. Owl City - Umbrella Beach (48) (CR-21-14-28-OUT-48-30)

32. Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi (25) (CR-50-17-9-8-11-20-32-OUT-28-31-28-37-25-32)

33. Chanee and N'Evergreen - In A Moment Like This (39) (CR-18-16-17-31-OUT-39-33)

36. She & Him - In The Sun (18) (CR-21-16-18-36)

38. Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good To Me (NEW) (CR-38)

 

Going back to my ranking of the Eurovision songs for 2010, I currently have this at #18 and I still don't think it's brilliant. That's how poor I think the Eurovision entries are this year. :(

 

39. Three Plus Two - Butterflies (32) (CR-34-31-25-32-39)

40. Lady GaGa - Alejandro (Re-entry) (CR-45-24-37-32-23-23-OUT-40)

42. Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Disco (NEW) (CR-42)

 

On first listen, I was disappointed. I thought 'Dance Wiv Me' and 'Bonkers' were brilliant. This song just hasn't had that same immediate impact on me.

 

43. Jason DeRülo - Ridin’ Solo (Re-entry) (CR-47-OUT-43)

46. Iyaz - Solo (NEW) (CR-46)

47. Kelly Rowland - Commander (NEW) (CR-47)

49. Alexandra Burke feat Pitbull - All Night Long (Re-entry) (CR-40-32-37-40-49-OUT-49)

 

Thanks Hits :D

 

1. There are some really dire song in the contest this year, my least favourite year since 2002 at the moment :( The live final may change this.

7. I'm not sure Stereo Love will go much higher for me as it's ancient now, but I hope it gets a good chart peak in the UK so Radio 1 continue to support European dance hits!

8. Agreed, it's fantastic. Would really love it to come out here in its original form.

15. It's the third I've liked after Number 1 and Playing With Fire, but it is indeed fantastic, very charming, love the sample.

20. Agreed, it's a gorgeous song :wub:

29. It's nice and chilled, a slow burner and real grower.

38. It's far from our best entry but I like it more than Even If at least (I know you were Andy's only fan :lol:) and also more than James Fox, Nicki French and Javine.

42. I know what you mean but I do like this, more than I liked Holiday at least. Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me are unbeatable - classic songs already.

Ahoy Rich! :heart:

Hey, my comments for this week:

 

1. Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite (2) (CR-5-5-1-1-1-2-1) This went very big in the room when played at the preview party!

5. Alphabeat - DJ (28) (CR-49-31-16-6-11-21-35-OUT-45-OUT-28-5) Was it a good show?

6. Jenny Berggren - Here I Am (NEW) (CR-6) This is rather nice

32. Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi (25) (CR-50-17-9-8-11-20-32-OUT-28-31-28-37-25-32) Back down :( :lol:

35. Uniting Nations - Blaze Of Glory (NEW) (CR-35) Sounds quite good, not sure if it'll be a huge success

38. Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good To Me (NEW) (CR-38) Love the new version and really want a HQ mp3 of it!

40. Lady GaGa - Alejandro (Re-entry) (CR-45-24-37-32-23-23-OUT-40) Are you going to buy the Remix album?

47. Kelly Rowland - Commander (NEW) (CR-47) Quite good, but no When Love Takes Over

1. Brilliant, hope it wins - I'm prepared for low top 10 or worse though :drama: ordered her album from Amazon Germany!

5. It was brilliant, easily better than the other two times I've seen them :wub:

32. I know :lol: I'm not sure if it will be going up this week again either :( We'll see though, I think it will be another two weeks before the ESC songs really boost up my chart.

35. Oh I agree, I don't think it will do much at all.

38. It is good, I don't have it in HQ though :( there's no news of a CD single either, perhaps it's getting a download only release?

40. Yep, most definitely. Love the Sound of Arrows remix of this song for a start.

47. I'm inclined to agree, people on the forum seem to be getting a bit over excited about it :lol: it's quite standard for its type of thing even though I do really like it.

01 - It could go either way, like so many of this years entries! Definitely no clear winner at all! I really want this to do well though, very contempory and original.

05 - Good to hear! :D

32 - It's started this week for me now, most of the top flight are ESC entries :lol:

38 - I hope not! I have every UK entry on CD single since Gina G and really want to keep the collection running. If it is download only, hopefully Bea Records will have a promo CD on sale.

40 - I'm not sure if I will, shall have to listen to previews on Napster.

47 - It seems a very BJ friendly song :heehee: . It's a possible grower but at the moment it's a bit MOR.

1. Agreed on all counts. The only song I'm absolutely certain will end up doing really well is Azerbaijan yet I'm not certain that it's a winner. It's quite unpredictable this year otherwise.

32. So I noticed but you went the the preview party so you have a headstart on the hype :heehee:

38. Same! I have most of them from Gina G onwards, am missing Imaani, Nicki French and James Fox but have all of the others. Actually I'm not sure if I bought Jade's single :o *checks* yes I did!

47. I agree. I wouldn't call it MOR but she's definitely done better in the past. I actually still prefer Work (Freemasons mix) to When Love Takes Over.

01 - Exactly! I think about 2nd or 3rd for Azerbaijan. For me, it would be the most underwhelming winner in years!

32 - I guess so :heehee:

38 - Jessica Garlick :wub: We should get her to enter again!

47 - Hmm, When Love Takes Over eclipses all the other solo Destinys Child singles for me.

1. Well I found Believe ridiculously underwhelming, it never even made my chart. And I was hardly a huge fan of Molitva or Had Rock Hallelujah either :lol: But I love Drip Drop so I'd be pleased with it. But it doesn't really have a 'winner' vibe to it, it's not quirky or unique, just a run of the mill contemporary Timbaland style pop ballad, but then so was Believe and that managed to win.

38. She was fantastic in 2002 :wub: one of about 5 or 6 (at a push) good songs that year for me :lol:

47. My top 5 solo DC singles would be;

 

1. Work (Kelly)

2. Beautiful Liar (Beyonce)

3. Irreplaceable (Beyonce)

4. When Love Takes Over (Kelly)

5. Crazy In Love (Beyonce)/Stole (Kelly)

 

Which is interesting as I never cared at all for DC as a band :lol:

01 - Yeah I guess 2008 was a bit of a deflating year too. I quite liked Molitva and it was nice to have a non-English language winner, though Bularia would have been a better winner. Believe sort of came around at the time that sound was popular, it's declined in popularity a bit since then, so I'm hopeful Drip Drop won't win.

38 - 2002 was actually pretty good looking back.

47 - My top 5 out of all Destiny's Child related material would be:

 

01. When Love Takes Over (Kelly)

02. Bootylicious (DC)

03. Listen (Beyonce)

04. Déjà Vu (Freemasons Mix) (Beyonce)

05. One Night Only (Dance Mix) (Beyonce)

 

But WLTO is miles ahead of the rest.

1. I would have loved if Bulgaria had won in 2007 (or Russia) :wub: And Shady Lady really should have beaten Believe :drama: I know what you mean, I say it's contemporary but I guess it's still about two years out of date. Germany truly have the most contemporary song here this year.

38. I liked; UK, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Germany and Malta enough to chart. Didn't mind Sweden, Macedonia and Spain, but none of them charted for me.

47. Ah, not a fan of any of those other four you mentioned, Beyonce and Kelly are always hit and miss for me, whilst DC and Michelle don't interest me at all.

01 - I really don't get Russia 2007 at all :( . I agree that Germany is most contempory this year.

38 - The entries that made my chart were: UK (#1), Slovenia (#3), Latvia (#6), Germany (#7), Estonia (#9), Lithuania (#13), Cyprus (#22) but I also liked Austria, Greece, Spain, Croatia, Israel, Sweden, France, Malta and Romania. So a fair chunk of the entries.

47 - Michelle had a couple of very minor hits on my chart, and Destiny's Child were never that successful. Their biggest hit with me reached number 12.

1. Really :o I thought it was great, finished in my top 10 end of year chart in 2007 :wub:

38. I really hated I Wanna and that Slovenian entry :lol: :( Come Back was fantastic though!

47. I was never a big fan of Michelle's solo material, although We Break The Dawn was ok. Her voice is odd for me. I don't think DC ever had a hit at all in my chart :o

01 - It was a little too trashy for me I think, plus I thought of it as a Sugababes rip off - reminded me a lot of Easy at the time.

38 - :lol: . The Slovenian act was a bit over the top but I loved the song and at my age back then, I Wanna was rather a fun song I thought. Impressive choreography too :D

47 - They never had a hit on your chart :o . Admittedly Bootylicious reached number 12 when my chart was a top 20, so it wasn't that much of an achievement really :lol:

1. I can see what you mean, although I never liked Easy :lol:

38. Well yep, I definitely agree that it had good choreography and Marie N had a good show but I was still unhappy that the song won :(

47. I know! Looking back I don't think I'd retrospectively change that either. I just didn't like much of their music. Say My Name was ok I guess, and Lose My Breath, but not good enough for me :lol: :(
