February 1, 201114 yr Brilliant #1 of course, and good news for you r.e. Call Your Girlfriend - it's been chosen as the next single from the Body Talk project meaning that we should get a video! :D
February 1, 201114 yr Author Has it? :o That'll be an 11th #1 in a row for her then... I really wasn't expecting it to happen as thought she was going to go with Time Machine if anything which I couldn't see making #1 for me. Excellent news! :cheer:

Excellent news! :cheer: Yes! http://www.robyn.com/forum/index.php?topic=12968.0 It's peaked inside my top 15 so far but I'm sure it will return nearer to the release date. I expected (and would have slightly preferred) Time Machine too, well actually if I'm honest I thought she'd finished with this project altogether now so I'm surprised we're even getting another single :o
February 2, 201114 yr 046|Pallers 'The Kiss' DNC Yet another slow burner of a track, this was one of 2010's more beautiful moments. The synths layer up and simply wash over you as you listen before the whole thing steps up a gear halfway through. Simply gorgeous. Did this come out in 2010? I thought it was older? It would have been my number 1 of the year. :o
February 2, 201114 yr Author I've been following your chart and enjoying the comments, but I'm very pleased to see this here :wub: I'm glad my hard sell approach on promoting the track worked :lol: It really is one of the most excellent Scandi-pop songs of the last few years - mesmerising. Only just noticed this one... it really is a brilliant track, any more gems like this that you're dying to share? :o
February 2, 201114 yr Author Did this come out in 2010? I thought it was older? It would have been my number 1 of the year. :o I think so! About April or May if I recall correctly... thought you liked it but had no idea it was to the levels of being your song of 2010. :o
February 2, 201114 yr Author Yes! http://www.robyn.com/forum/index.php?topic=12968.0 It's peaked inside my top 15 so far but I'm sure it will return nearer to the release date.

February 2, 201114 yr Had Robyn only had the one #1 for you so far? Two. With Every Heartbeat and Be Mine - Be Mine was actually a top 5 hit for me in 2006 but finally topped my chart in early 2008 when it got it's UK release :lol: Nothing from Body Talk topped my singles chart, but she managed five top ten's from it - In My Eyes (#2), Dancing On My Own (#4), Time Machine (#4), Hang With Me (#7) and Indestructible (#9).
February 4, 201114 yr Great chart Dandy, thank you for sharing, it's given me so much new music to listen to. STUNNING number 1. Did you hear her live lounge that won best of 2010? It's immaculate. ^_^
February 4, 201114 yr Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart. I assume that's what won it, as I didn't think 'Dancing on My Own' was one of the best on Live Lounge 5? But then why would it win best of the year and not make the CD. I shall comment on this when I have more time.
February 4, 201114 yr Author Wonderfully wonderful. I need to start commenting/sharing music again. It's been too long! Jakeeee, how rude of me for not responding. Thank you for your comment and YES you should begin sharing again. There has been a Jake shaped hole in my music collection of late. :(

Oh and YOU BETTER. :angry: :D
February 5, 201114 yr Yup Dancing On My Own won. ^_^ The final 4 were Biffy Clyro, Robin and 2x 30 Seconds To Mars songs. It's a STUNNING version imo.
February 5, 201114 yr No I didn't! :o What did she do? Oh and glad you approved! ^_^ Hunt it down, youtube etc. (i'd find you a link but youtube is blocked at work) :lol:
February 5, 201114 yr Chart run: 03-01-01-01-01-01-01-02-02-02-04-06-10-16-22-31-34-35-36-42-40-37-35-35-41-48 Well I guess it was never likely to be anything else, I'll be amazed if there's anyone reading who hadn't guessed this already but both shock and horror at Robyn ending my 2010 at the top. I remember my initial excitement at hearing about the Body Talk project was suitably quashed when some of the tracks began to leak... they were okay but just not quite the Robyn I loved or wanted... then this leaked as a 30 second clip and I just KNEW from the very first play that it was going to be my song of the year and that the era would be okay after all. She taps into your heart strings yet again on this one by singing about a situation that everyone will be familiar with, the yearning after someone you can't have from the sidelines while someone else is getting in there first - ah, it's the story of everyone's teenage years. It's the little details in the song that make me love it more than any other this year, especially the 'four to the floor thud thud thud thud' bit which is just inspired, the little clicking sounds at 0:37 and of course the breakdown bit which inevitably ends with everything coming back at you in one massive hit at about 3:10. Ah, sod it, the whole thing is just :wub: from beginning to end... long may she continue to rule! Oh and... FINALLY I can say FIN. Phew. Thanks for reading if you have... hope you liked it! ^_^ AMAZING, but just a slight error - wasn't the four to the floor bit Indestructible and not this?
February 5, 201114 yr Author AMAZING, but just a slight error - wasn't the four to the floor bit Indestructible and not this? YES. :o I'm a FLOP Robyn fan. :( That will teach me to write things in a rush to try and get them over and done with. It is an amazing bit of Indestructible though!!! :D
February 19, 201114 yr GREAT CHART! :P Good album picks too - Sex & Violence! How are the rest of the Mansonettes doing?
February 19, 201114 yr Author :o Why hello! There are quite a few of us Mansonettes here, Mark is Rabbitfurcoat, Severin and Suedehead are here too. Strebbers isn't as he's all boyfriended and out enjoying life I think while Eileen/Triangle E is on Moopy. Not sure about Zigs, she disappeared after the site closed and I haven't heard from her since... How have you been?
February 19, 201114 yr Ha! I have a few of dem 'nettes on my Facebook, so I'm fully aware how disgustingly cosied up Strebbo is. Although browsing some of the threads here, there seem to so many of the chc'ers here. I can't believe Tonyttt is now younger than me - he used to seem SO old! Otherwise absolutely everything is the same down here - I'm still a lazy f*** but now in more ways than before and i still live & work where and how I used to. I think the only thing that's changed is my new found indifference to all things Girls Aloud. I blame Kimberley. You still lovingly cosy with The Fella? Good. I'll check the unknowns from your 2010 chart at some point, we seem to have a similar taste when it comes to total nobodies. Be good! Say hi! Edited February 19, 201114 yr by Andrew*
