:arrr: Great.

Slighty? It's off-topic BIG TIME I'd say :lol:

And the song isn't up to her previous singles, I don't like how she's slighty giving up her POP direction...

Bad Boys (very very POP) > Broken Heels (very POP) > All Night Long (kinda urban pop I guess) > Start without you (erm... Carribean pop?). Boo!

:arrr: Great.

 

Isn't it just?

It will presumably chart on iTunes at some point. :P

 

I'd say, in terms of quality:

 

All Night Long > Start Without You >> Hallelujah > Bad Boys (great song but it's not my cup of tea personally) > Broken Heels

 

Oh and in other news, Alexandra also confirmed that a video for 'The Silence' has been shot and rumour has it that the song will be released to coincide with an X Factor performance. :w00t:

COME ON RIDIN SOLO!

So annoying how they just delete songs, who the hell makes those decisions!?

 

Knew turn it up would benefit from all the promo eventually. Should be inside top 10 soon!

Poor miley!

 

SIX, does that mean start without you is likely to be for a deluxe edition of overcome?

I don't get how iTunes have credited Shout - the artist 'Shout For England' surely IS just Dizz & James unless I'm mistaken?

 

 

THe full credit is

 

Shout For England feat. Dizzee Rascal & James Corden - Shout

Strange credit :mellow:

I'm just gonna credit it as Dizzee & James

Strange credit :mellow:

ie,

 

'Simon Cowell' feat Dizzee & James - Shout

 

:lol:

 

 

Cant believe how huge the dizzee/cordon bars are already - I reckon 100k this week and 95k the following. Kyllie has no chance next week. :(

 

No it'll be more frontloaded than that - say 80k this week, 50k next.

Thats a huge lead- charity songs always do well on physicals- so that could get 100k or over- I think its chart run will be similar/the same to Helping Haiti or the X Factor Finalists

 

If K'naan can keep rising, it could be an all football related top 2- Buzzjack would just love that! :lol:

A certain number 1 for them then :(

The difference being that Wavin' Flag is excellent.

 

I have nothing against football songs doing well as long as they're good - which reminds me, why isn't Shakira 60 places higher :snif: I guess it's had literally no promotion here though...

ie,

 

'Simon Cowell' feat Dizzee & James - Shout

 

:lol:

 

Indeed.

 

As for English Football Songs of the past 20 Years (From :wub: to :puke:) :

 

Three Lions (96) > World In Motion (90) >> Vindaloo (98) >> We're On The Ball (02) >>>>>> (How Does it Feel to Be) on Top of the World? (98) > World at Your Feet (06) >>>>> Shout (10)

 

My goodness Shout is so shameless & awful (especially compared to the peerless Tears For Fears original) compared to the brilliant Three Lions & World In Motion it almost makes me want to support Germany & Argentina.

(Un)fortunately Shout will remain high for the rest of the tournament.

top 2 sales will be decent this week - 65k for frisky and 100k for dizzee??

I totally agree- there are some good football songs like, as TIP said, Three lions and Vindaloo- Waving Flag is great, but Shout is just dire :(

 

Still there will be some pretty angry responses if Shout beats Kylie Minogue or Katy Perry :kink:

 

 

Yeah, Wavin' Flag is brilliant but Shout shows anything that is spoonfed to the UK audience will always be a success. :(

SIX, does that mean start without you is likely to be for a deluxe edition of overcome?

 

Alexandra confirmed in an interview in Australia (Joy radio?) that Overcome will be re-released later this year. :D

 

I presume it will be:

 

August - Start Without You

November - The Silence

November (a week later) - Overcome: Deluxe Edition (or something like that :D)

top 2 sales will be decent this week - 65k for frisky and 100k for dizzee??

 

I think Tinie will be higher than that, the mass popularity of the top two has shrunk the rest of the popularity bars.

I think:

 

Shout 110K

Frisky 90K
