January 31, 201214 yr Why is Alyssa Reid a #1 contender and something similar like , but much better was only #21?
January 31, 201214 yr "Celebration" says otherwise and that was held back. "Give Me All Your Luvin" will do very well to début top 10, it'll have to go to #1 on iTunes for a start. "Give me all your luvin" is the lead single from her much hyped 12 studio album so thats very different from "Celebration" and It will go to no.1 on itunes next week B-)
January 31, 201214 yr Why is Alyssa Reid a #1 contender and something similar like , but much better was only #21? It won't let me load up the video, but I'm guessing that's Rescue Me? (It made #21 anyway) Practically the same, but much better, I agree! :lol:
January 31, 201214 yr Madonna's new song is poop, so doubt it will get to no1. I'm a massive Madonna fan and I deffo won't be supporting it and I know other Madonna fans who won't.
February 1, 201214 yr Madonna's new song is poop, so doubt it will get to no1. I'm a massive Madonna fan and I deffo won't be supporting it and I know other Madonna fans who won't. But nobody has even heard it yet? Granted, that rough demo from months ago sounded terrible but it could be completely different... (I am hoping it will be anyway)
February 1, 201214 yr But nobody has even heard it yet? Granted, that rough demo from months ago sounded terrible but it could be completely different... (I am hoping it will be anyway) Yeah, the demo sounds awful. :( But I remember both the demos of Hung Up and 4 Minutes sounded awful too, and they turned out great in the end, so fingers crossed.
February 1, 201214 yr It won't let me load up the video, but I'm guessing that's Rescue Me? (It made #21 anyway) Practically the same, but much better, I agree! :lol: "Rescue Me", while quite good, has nothing on either "Underdog" or "Bite My Tongue" of YMA6's own. It's a Chiddy song really.
February 1, 201214 yr "Rescue Me", while quite good, has nothing on either "Underdog" or "Bite My Tongue" of YMA6's own. It's a Chiddy song really. I'm comparing it to Alone Again as it sounds very similar, but it is much better than most of You Me At Six's back catalogue imo. :P
February 1, 201214 yr I'm comparing it to Alone Again as it sounds very similar, but it is much better than most of You Me At Six's back catalogue imo. :P I want to really like it but the fact that I know the band hates it and were effectively bullied into releasing it spoils it for me. I'm far from a big YMA6 fan, but that makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.
February 1, 201214 yr I know the band hates Rescue Me, but as a song, it's incredibly good, for me, their best with maybe Underdog in there as well. I've never been a huge fan, but I can see WHY they dislike it, having heard a decent amount of their other material. I just really like it anyway. I never thought about the similarities to Alone Again, but now that it's mentioned I can see how similar they are, and I'm quite surprised actually. The contrast of the rap works really well with the chorus (which in both cases happens to be brilliant), and they are both really uplifting. Can't believe it's taken me 6 months or so to notice this though, the versions I had before of AA are less noticeable, but it's still there!
February 1, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Del Rey boosts flagging albums market Source: MW 15:50 | Wednesday February 1, 2012 By Paul Williams Singles Canadian teenager Alyssa Reid, a former contestant on her nation’s TV talent contest The Next Star On YTV, is currently leading the singles market with the newly-issued 3 Beat/AATW single Alone Again featuring Jump Smokers. It had sold around 40,000 copies up until the end of Tuesday, about 6,000 copies more than closest rival Titanium by Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta featuring Sia. Sales of Titanium are up 45% on the week as it holds at two in the midweeks while Jessie J’s Domino remains third, Global Talent/Polydor’s Cover Drive drop to four after debuting at one on last Sunday’s chart with Twilight and the Atlantic-issued Wild Ones by Flo Rida featuring Sia holds a five. Sales of Island’s Gotye featuring Kimbra single Somebody That I Used To Know have almost doubled on the week to move it 7-6, while sales of J/RCA’s Pitbull featuring Chris Brown release International Love are up 28% to lift it 10-9. Lower down, rock gets a much-needed boost in the singles market with Feeder’s Borders, issued through their Big Teeth label, currently showing up as a new entry at 35. Albums Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die has become the first big-selling new album of 2012 after taking just three days to clock up nearly 70,000 sales. The newly-issued Polydor album looks an absolute certainty to top the UK artist albums chart this weekend with Official Charts Company Data showing that by the end of business on Tuesday it had outsold its nearest seven challengers combined. The strong sales for the US singer-songwriter are just what the market desperately needs after Asylum/Atlantic act Ed Sheeran’s + returned to number one last Sunday with the lowest sales for a chart-topping album since September 1995, just 20,607 copies. That is less than a third what Born To Die has sold this week with four more days of business still to go. Also already beating the week-end sales tally of last week’s number one is Old Dies, which is showing up as a new entry at number two for Columbia’s Leonard Cohen. With around 26,000 sales already and more than 15,000 units ahead of Sheeran’s album in third place, Cohen looks very likely to debut at two on the week’s final chart this Sunday to equal his highest-charting album in the UK, achieved by 1969’s Songs From A Room. Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, which was second on last Sunday’s chart, is presently in fourth place, while XL’s Adele album 21 drops 3-5. As her single Domino continues to perform strongly, holding at three in the midweeks, Lava/Island Jessie J sees her album Who You Are lift 13% in sales week-on-week to rise 7-6 on the midweeks. However, the biggest percentage sales gain belongs to Chistina Perri’s Atlantic album Lovestrong, up 106% to move it 37-10. Sales of her single Jar Of Hearts are also significantly up – by 98% - after Torvill and Dean danced to it on ITV1’s Dancing On Ice last Sunday evening. TV has also helped to lift sales of Arctic Monkeys’ Suck It And See after the Domino act performed on Jonathan Ross’s ITV1 show last Saturday, albeit more modestly and from a lower base. The album moves 85-64 in the midweeks with an 84% increase. A handful of independent albums should debut this coming Sunday: the Southern Fried-issued Be Strong by 2 Bears; Because Music’s self-titled Django Django album; David Arnold and Michael Price’s Silver Screen-issued Sherlock – Music From Series 1; and Proper-signed Gretchen Peters’ Hello Cruel World. A new Decca Louis Armstrong retrospective is also set to arrive, while the same company’s Etta James album At Last – The Best Of is on course to move into the Top 75 following the singer’s death on January 20. =================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Singles New Entries 1 Alyssa Reid feat.
