"Fast Car" isn't a country song at all. :manson:

 

 

Fast Car country? :blink: I love country, and country is the likes of Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum and Dolly Parton - not Tracy Chapman! :lol:

 

:hithead: Got my facts wrong. But my point was the song isn't like anything else in the chart, it isn't exactly "pop" or "rock" is it? (not by todays definitions anyway)

I hear on the grapevine, Adele has hit the 2 million mark today :D

I think Wretch has an EP thats doing well in the album chart as well as physicals- couple that with the fact he's not far away from number 1 in the singles chart and that would put him ahead, he won't stay there though unless he overtakes on Itunes

 

I think Fast Car could genuinely be another case of MYFML, its still selling well on Itunes :o could get a new peak as well

This, at the start of the week I thought it would drop down like "Stay", but this should stick around in the charts a lot, hopefully someone else will perform it so it has success. The top 100 downloads of all time will have another old song by the end of the year :D

Jamie Woon's album not top 40 then? :(

:P

 

Oh sorry I automatically didn't look at the top 5 as I didn't think it'd be there :lol:

Great to see Jamie Woon top 5 - if he holds it I think he'll be the first Sound of 2011 act to get a top 5 album?

 

Just realised Depeche Mode aren't top 40 with the re-release of Personal Jesus. They got top 40 on the first mids with their last single 'Peace' which ended up charting at #57 so this could end up only going low top 100 :( I wonder if we'll ever see Depeche get a proper hit again? I suspect they'll keep making the top 40 with lead singles from any further studio albums they release but other than that they're pretty much doomed now.

Jessie J was the first actually.

 

Who You Are reached No2

Sound Of 2011 Artists Albums:

 

As you know for Jessie J

James Blake: James Blake reached No9

The Vaccines/ What Did You Expect From The Vaccines reached No4

Clare Maguire/ Light After Dark reached No7

Oh yeah, I forgot about Jessie J. :drama: I never think of her as a Sound of 2011 artist as she's been so much more successful than all the rest and I think of So'11 being full of flops :kink: Forgot about The Vaccines as well, when I wrote that I thought their album had peaked at #6 for some reason.

 

Still, the third So'11 artist to get a top 5 album :P Following the near misses from Clare Maguire and James Blake

What do you think has the best of the Sound of...... year to have produced successful artists?

 

 

If I worked for the Marketing department for Tracy Chapman's record company (and God forbid, some day I might do), at this moment I would be dusting off the advert for her greatest hits collection and getting it played as often as they can during prime-time ITV.

2004. Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Scissor Sisters and Razorlight, and to a lesser extent McFly, Wiley, Joss Stone have all had varying degrees of international success (although the less said about numbers 9&10, Tali and Gemma Fox the better)

:o They all came from Sound Of Poll. They in bold all have great songs, 'Take Me Out' by Franz is a modern classic and so is "I Don't Feel Like Dancin" by Scissor Sisters and "Somewhere Else" by Razorlight imo. Wiley only has 1 great song which is "Wearing My Rolex"

^ Wiley is in Roll Deep though, so really he has like 4 good songs (and probably more that I haven't heard). :lol:

 

EDIT: He did Never Be Your Woman didn't he? The one which sampled that really famous song. I used to love that, so make that 5 good songs. :lol:

I think there must be an Itunes mix up tbh.

Emily Osment should have been top 40?

and jessie J price tag should be around 16-20 it's dropping on itunes.
