Stupid Game is the next single apparently. Seems like a good choice.

Excellent choice.

 

I would say Enemy would be good, but to edit it for radio would be a crime. 8 minutes of pure amazingness.

havent seen her in a while...

I got the album yesterday in the post from HMV. It's really good. Her best album since "reason" by far.

Reason was a mess. I think the only album which challenges this one is Beautiful Intentions. This is certainly more consistent but that did have a couple more highlights (title song, Next Best Superstar, Last Night On Earth, You Will See).

A mess? Why? I thought it was a really strong album. I love Northern Star as well, but since reason, I havent bought any of her albums.

Beautiful Intentions is my fave album :heart: and I've bought all them on release day minus Northern Star.

 

Shall get The Sea tomorrow!

How many people actually download something for free and then go out and buy the actual album in the shops though?

 

I do. I don't even keep albums I download if I don't like them.

 

Using Mel C as an example - her last album was atrocious. It was so bad. I can't go into words how bad it was. So naturally I deleted that crap and never purchased it.

Not having high hopes for this album after the dire "Rock Me" - I still decided to download the album and give it a chance. So thankful I did, I *love* this album. Right back up there with Northern Star & Beautiful Intentions. Of course I went and purchased it from HMV.com, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow...

 

This performance on Loose Women has seen her climb from an iTunes position of #241 earlier this morning, to #127 at the moment! If only she promoted more than she does.

it made #95 in the uk this week, not great i know but it did a little better than i expected. shame the album didnt hold top 40 though.

'Weak' is definitely my favourite on the album. :wub:!

What about the album position this week?

Weak has been confirmed as the next UK single, with Let There Be Love for Europe.

'Weak'? REALLY?! :( One of my least favourites. I was holding out for a 'Burn' or 'Stupid Game' release! :(

Me too, I thought they were the only other potential singles on the album, this is like Better Alone all over again (Mel pushing a song because she loves it, rather than it being a radio-friendly single, and it subsequently flopping everywhere) :cry:

Is she really going to do well with whatever single she chooses, honestly?

The Sea fell to #101.

 

Not hugely into Weak, but judging by her recent YouTube videos, it's a song she feels very passionate about.

True :lol:

But if she thought about making an album, she obviously wants it to do something! Why not show the best on your album? 'Burn' and 'Stupid Game' are the clear "fan favourites" so I don't know why she's decided to look past them. She has Radio 2 on her side so I doubt they'll flop horribly. She just needs to get decent television performances and perform around the release.

I bought some of this with an itunes voucher today then saw i could get the rest for £3 so i did :wub:
