^ I was wondering why Stand By Me was so high! :lol:

 

Stan never really sells that much considering how much people talk about it. I checked the top 1000 earlier today, and even W.T.P was higher than Stan! :lol:

Spectrum definitely one of the year's "surprise hits", along with Too Close. To think I didn't even have it down for a top 20 place!

 

 

103. Drugs Don't Work - The Verve

 

This should be number 1 for years... OMG, this is the saddest song ever and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PERFECT.

Pound The Alarm #12

 

Never Close Our Eyes #17

 

I Can Only Imagine #26

Florence now #4 Could be a top 3 hit! Shame its by far not her best single, but the Calvin remix is brill!

I found out where it came from. She talks about the song in this interview:

 

 

So it's true! :D Tulisa said she doesn't think the song will get to #1 though. :( I agree with her though, the song isn't that mainstream.

 

Oh cool. Can't wait to hear the HQ :D

I WISH a surprise number 1!!! if she's on 75%.. she maybe can do it, if only a little bit of promo this week but a top 3 will be good enough.

Hopefully florence can reach no2, think no1 is out of the question though...with her ep sales she should hit the top 3!!

Why was Gangsta's Paradise such a big hit? I like the song, but what was the reason for it blowing up so much? It read that it went #1 almost everywhere in the world.

Apart from the obvious reasons of it being incredible Dangerous Minds was a brilliant film and so no doubt would have helped with It's soundtrack etc.

Pound The Alarm #11 again. Should definitely enter the top 10 at this rate.

 

Never Close Our Eyes #16 - not actually heard this. I loved WWFM though!

I think Spectrum could quite easily get up to #2 on iTunes! However it's going to need a bit of a push but I think iTunes #1 is possible.

Morning update: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=4038123

From the ITV1 Nation's Favourite #1 show (41-60 announced today):

 

No show so far for Rod Stewart 'Maggie May' (#41), Slade 'Merry Xmas Everybody' (#58 - no shock there)

 

I dare say it doubled its sales though... from 10 to 20 copies... :P

 

Why was Gangsta's Paradise such a big hit?

 

How many times have I asked myself that question? In one song it summarises virtually all I dislike about rap - dark, scary & intimidating.

 

The only reason that possibly makes sense to me, is Michelle Pfeiffer's presence in the video... :whip:

Have you heard it? Its immense, one of the best no1s of the 90s!!

What's happening here... Adam Lambert getting a top 20 hit in the UK? What has he done to achieve that?

 

I love the song and album, it's just so random given the numerous flop singles from his debut which was much bigger success elsewhere in the world.
