I for one am glad the chart is clearing itself from rubbish music (e.g. Dappy, JLS) and embracing some really great tracks (both lyrically and production-wise), including 'N***as in Paris' and 'Greyhound'.

 

I agree with you on JLS & Dippy, but don't regard the latter two as a significant improvement - though Greyhound is certainly better 'lyrically' than the other 3... :lol:

 

How did 212 get so high in the chart so quickly?

 

Quickly? :huh: Last Sunday was its 12th week oin the charts!

 

 

Ouch @ Plan B to #9. :(

 

Pisses me off this is plummeting and Chris Brown is still #1.

 

ISTM songs with a political/protest message rarely do well (unless they are also charity songs).

Gotye #4

Katy Perry #5

 

Re your sig - IMO the blonde look really doesn't suit Marina, and I think Radioactive is a better song than Prima Donna, too. Won't stop me buying the album though. :)

BTW, my YTD sales thread seems to have been locked for some reason, so I can't post my top 40 update to it yet. :cry:

Wouldn't it be interesting if The One That Got Away eventually sold more than Part Of Me? It's probably unlikely, I think POM will be reduced as it is droppig quickly now.

Found out something quite odd last night - B.Traits is female :o Who was the last female DJ to make the top 40?

 

29. If You Wanna - The Vaccines

:cheer:

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of the blonde hair, but she is still absolutely gorgeous :wub:

 

Radioactive is my favourite song of the era so far, though I'm baffled why it isn't on the standard edition of the album!

Now released, and posted! :cheer:

[Goes to check whether I've already bought it... yes, fortunately.]

 

I dare say a few fans held off, assuming it would be on there, but now that it isn't, it may bounce back into the charts - the lower end at least.

Bleh. 'Radioactive' got boring far too quickly for me! :( 'PrimaDonna' is holding up so much better in comparison for me. Such a good song and she's one of those artists who deserves to finally breakthrough. PD better be the one to break her into the top 10 for the first time :angry:

27. If You Wanna - The Vaccines

28. Proud - JLS

 

:lol:

 

37. Call Me Maybe - Hits Now!

57. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen Tribute Team

59. We Are Young - We Are Young Singers

 

 

I don't know if it's because of Rihanna's input (on the 'unofficial' remix), but I feel like the only person who thinks "Turn Up The Music" is one of Chris Brown's best songs. There's just something irresistibly catchy about it and the chorus is a bit of a moment. I think the only other single of his I prefer is "I Can Transform Ya", which was never going to be #1 here. I'd prefer a Nicki Minaj #1, but I'm happy to see this single make it to the top.

 

Solo wise, Forever and With You were a pretty great duo of solo singles, but overall it has to be No Air, which is one of my favourite songs ever and should have been a #1, especially looking at its long top ten run (pretty standard for 2008 though I guess!)

Is Carly Rae Jespen really in her MID-TWENTIES?! CMM sounds like a song BY a sixteen year old FOR sixteen year olds. I assumed it was some standard Disney trash like Miley or Selena.

Selena is largely responsible for the song being such a hit (same with Super Bass lol), so you're not far off. :lol:

 

I agree, it's basically a teen-pop song. I love it though.

:rolleyes: CMM could have been top 20 this week!

If it was out, it would probably be #1 right now! :P

 

 

'primadonna' really deserves to do well, it's my favourite song from marina and my favourite song of the year so far. the production on it is amazing - while it uses the typical dr. luke electo beats, it manages to sound quite different production-wise. the chorus (up until the final) is nice and subtle, while the verses and final chorus are quite heavy. it just works so well as a song with marina's stunning voice. :wub:

unfortunately though I can just see it missing the top 40, even with the support it's getting from radio 1. 'radioactive' had a similar following, and that didn't turn out to do well at all. :(

01. Chris Brown - Turn Up The Music 100%

02. Sean Paul - She Dosen't Know 80.5%

03. Nicki Minaj - Starships 68.5%
