November 16, 201014 yr If you want to see who might be popular in the UK in 2011, just look at the US Billboard Chart in early December - any acts you don't recognise, you probably will by next summer. :funky: haha brillant remark, anything that does well in the us chart is automatically played on radio 1 over here - disgrace.time for a return to brit pop i think - 3 years of rnb influenced electro pop is enough for me - where are all the great bands!!

A lot of those are by already established artists and will be hits anyway if released... also 'Secrets' has already been released, it only made #77 Other than those Bottoms Up, unfortunately Whip My Hair, Animal and maybe No Hands could be big. (BedRock was massive, maybe Waka Flocka Flame could get a UK hit too :P) Neon Trees could definitely be huge here I reckon, and I think they'll be on the Sound of 2011 poll Edited November 16, 201014 yr by Bray
November 16, 201014 yr Think 2011 will belong to Rihanna, what's my name, S&M and a couple of other singles will be big hits. GaGa will struggle a la alanis morissette Britney will have a luke warm return Take That announce they will be disbanding for a couple of years to work on other projects and families, Robbie will use TT as a springboard to revive his solo career. Tori Amos will release an album (yay)
November 16, 201014 yr Hopefully we'll see more european artists breakthrough, and perhaps dance making a recovery. Not the electro crap that's been around for the last 5 years, but maybe back to normal house and trance. Or maybe it'll be dubstep, which isn't really my thing. I think we'll start to see R&B and Pop going back to being their own genres, seperated from electro, but it'll take a while. Not hoping to see indie-rock back in the charts anytime soon, 2005-2008 still bring me nightmares. Maybe we could see more foreign songs in the chart. Yolanda Be Cool & D Cup got to number one without speaking a word in English. Duck Sauce got to number three saying nothing but 'Barbra Streisand', which is very close to not being English. Maybe next year we will have our first full instrumental number one of the millennium (excluding Cage Against the Machine if it gets to number one at Xmas) 1999 was popular for instrumentals, with ATB - 9PM and Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat getting to number one and holding the position. ATB was a big seller too! Please no britpop return, we almost had a revival this year with Scouting For Girls and The Hoosiers coming back. It's unlikely britpop will return as we've gone back into the 90s when boybands are popular (e.g Westlife, Take That) GaGa's return will be massive hopefully Edited November 16, 201014 yr by danielG
November 16, 201014 yr Dance is already making a comeback I reckon, with the 2 SHM hits plus smaller hits by Alex Gaudino and Tim Berg, and other European dance artists like Inna and Edward Maya scoring big hits this year too. Also 'Katy On A Mission' and 'I Need Air' were fairly big hits for the dubstep genre. Next year could be a huge year for house and dubstep. I'd like to see drum n bass take over the charts - we've had 2 fairly big DNB songs recently in the form of End Credits and Watercolour, so who knows? I also want to see The Prodigy make another album but that'll probably be in like 2014 :P Ah well Edited November 16, 201014 yr by Bray
November 16, 201014 yr House has been massive this year. Next year could be its peak, just like trance music was at it's high in the late 90s. As for D&B, Danny Byrd peaked at 36 with Ill Behaviour. If it was released last year it would of missed the top 75. Maybe Danny Byrd and Magnetic Man could do a collab and produce Drumstep & Bass. I'd like to see Swedish House Mafia get a number one next year too! They are massive! Edited November 16, 201014 yr by danielG
November 16, 201014 yr All I can say is two little words. Jessie and J! She will rule 2011, she is so f***ing amazing :wub:
November 16, 201014 yr The thing is, I don't really think genres can grow that fast. Like the first dubstep top 40 hit was in 2009 (In For the Kill). Can we really go from having one top 20 dubstep hit, to having some dubstep #1s only two years later? Some genres have to be around for years, and years before they can finally get a #1. I'd also love Swedish House Mafia to get a #1 though. Miami 2 Ibiza was absolutely incredible! Such a tune!!! :D I also agree that hopefully the UK charts contain more European hits next year, and more dance songs. I also hope hip hop and electronica get even bigger next year (electronica definitely will, I'm not sure about hip hop).
November 16, 201014 yr I don't think we'll get any dubstep #1s just yet and there's still a chance it could just be a temporary fad and it'll die out entirely in 2011 IFTK itself wasn't a dubstep song :P It was just a very popular dubstep remix which introduced the genre to the mainstream. The first big dubstep hit was I Need Air

The potential newcomers of 2011: #10 Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue Never heard of Sugarland. Is it a band or an RnB rap artist? I'm guessing the latter? -_- Also with a title like 'Stuck Like Glue', you just know it's gonna be big - even if it is absolute crap!!! :lol: #14 Willow Smith - Whip My Hair Getting released in December. It will be no. 1 - mark my words. ;) #16 The Band Perry - If I Die Young #18 Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow #23 Neon Trees - Animal #25 Waka Flocka Flame feat. Roscoe Dash & Wale - No Hands #27 The Ready Set - Love Like Woe #29 Zac Brown Band feat. Alan Jackson - As She's Walking Away Don't think any of these acts have had UK hits so who knows. As for the BBC Sound of 2011 poll, I think it'll be a sorry affair for British contenders. I have a suspect feeling the majority of the BBC poll will heavily include American artists, maybe some European/Australian acts. It seems strange that there's literally no fuss over any upcoming British artists. Last year I was already very much aware of Marina & The Diamonds. In 2008 I already knew about Lady GaGa before her dominance in the charts last year. I knew about Duffy in late 2007 prior to her massive success in 2008. Only Clare Maguire springs to mind as a possible candidate. Maybe it is time for us to champion a brand new British rock group who could become the next Oasis/Coldplay/Arctic Monkeys.

Sugarland have been around ages, and they're a country band (I was surprised as well, they have a very 'generic R&B artist' name) so they have no chance of doing well here. I can't see Willow going #1 but it'll unfortunately be a certain top 5 hit :( The Band Perry and Zac Brown Band are also country bands so again they won't be successful. The only remotely successful country artists in the UK recently were Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum (and they only had a #21 single and a #8 album) and Taylor's releases were 'popped up' for UK release. Wiz Khalifa and Waka Flocka Flame are hip hop artists, I can actually see their songs being hits in the UK. The Ready Set is a bit weird... Wikipedia describes him as an 'electronica/pop/R&B' artist. He could be like Owl City or Mike Posner (not sure, haven't heard the song). He could be successful I suppose. Neon Trees I think will definitely be huge. Edited November 16, 201014 yr by Bray
November 16, 201014 yr I think Bruno Mars will continue to be big into 2011 when his album comes out Grime will continue to have more influence on the charts There will be one artist who no one will have heard of that makes a huge breakthrough to become one of the biggest selling artists of the year eg: Katy perry-2008, Lady Gaga-2009, Bruno Mars-2010 Some big artist will make a successful return, maybe beyonce eg: Usher-2010
November 16, 201014 yr Hmmm... #1s 14 British (incl. 1 feat. Laza Morgan (American)) 12 American (incl. 1 feat. David Guetta (French)) 1 Various 1 French (incl. 1 with Chris Willis feat. Fergie and LMFAO (all American)) 1 Barbadian 1 British Virgin Islands 1 Australian #2s 5 British 4 American (incl. 1 feat. Rihanna (Barbadian) 1 Dutch (incl. 1 feat. Wizard Sleeve (American)) 1 Barbadian 1 Irish (incl. 1 feat. Vanilla Ice (American)) #3s 7 American 6 British (incl. 1 feat. Esmée Denters (Dutch)) 1 Australian 1 Canadian (incl. 1 feat. Ludacris (American)) 1 British Virgin Islands etc etc etc etc etc etc :P So in terms of volume of top 10 hits the British crush the Americans in all but #3s, #7s and #9s, but of course what this doesn't show is how many of these top 10 hits went on to be big sellers Was this already available or did you write all this yourself? :unsure: Edited November 16, 201014 yr by Peace
November 16, 201014 yr Lady Gaga will rule for another year if she release her new album! Definitely she will sell 1m for a 3rd year in a row! Plus, at least, another 2 n.1 singles! Beyonce will also be huge in 2011! I think her fan base have increased since I am...Sasha Fierce! If Lily Allen release new material, she will crush the charts! 100% just like Coldplay. BUT, i think there is one album that can blow all the others! Miss Winehouse! I don't know if i'm very optimistic, but 4 years after the legendary Back to Black, i expect another masterpiece. Hope so :unsure: Winehouse for biggest selling album of 2011!!!

He could be like Owl City or Mike Posner (not sure, haven't heard the song). He could be successful I suppose. Neon Trees I think will definitely be huge. Stuck Like Glue (Sugarland) and If I Die Young (The Band Perry) are great examples of commercial country and both made top 3 in my personal chart (in August, what are they STILL doing in the US top 20? :mellow:). Shame the genre can't really do well here because If I Die Young is absolutely stunning and Stuck Like Glue is catchy as hell.
November 16, 201014 yr Please no britpop return, we almost had a revival this year with Scouting For Girls and The Hoosiers coming back. It's unlikely britpop will return as we've gone back into the 90s when boybands are popular (e.g Westlife, Take That) Wash your mouth out with soap and water! ;) These were not Britpop bands nor indie nor anything to do with decent music actually. I really would like to see some true indie bands get back to the charts just for a bit of variety. God knows the charts need another shake-up. I just hope something exciting happens.
November 16, 201014 yr Anastacia is gonna come back and storm the charts :kink: +1 LOL errr I reckon the Black Eyed Peas will be HUGE (again). I also reckon we're going to get an awful surge of commercialised dubstep, which will completely ruin the genre.
