Away from the bandwagons, when are the following getting released in the UK:

 

The Script feat. will.i.am - Hall Of Fame

David Guetta feat. Sia - She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)

 

These are already doing well in a couple of other countries iTunes charts so I'm wondering whether the record companies will do a "Taylor Swift" and get these released this coming Sunday. Or will the UK be waiting until late September for them?

This bandwagon is so big that it could almost have a thread and results show of its own! Anyway:

I think 2012 has generally been quite a weak year for music, none of them are particularly amazing, but a few are among the best songs of the year. Two of my favourite #1s are "Part Of Me" and "Turn Up The Music", yet they dropped quickly and most people dislike them. :(

I'm fairly certain The Script will get released weeks after it's premiere (probably late September?) but I could see DG & Sia doing a Taylor Swift and being released soon.

Hall of Fame is Scheduled for September 2nd, not sure about DG.

I will be different and score them out of 10 with colours representing feelings above or below general indifference:

 

Coldplay - Paradise 9/10

Flo Rida - Good Feeling 5/10

Jessie J - Domino 7/10

Cover Drive - Twilight 8/10

David Guetta feat. Sia - Titanium 9/10

Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 7/10 (little bit overplayed...)

DJ Fresh feat. Rita Ora - Hot Right Now 8/10

Katy Perry - Part Of Me 8/10

Chris Brown - Turn Up The Music 3/10

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 8/10

Tulisa - Young 6/10

Rita Ora feat. Tinie Tempah - R.I.P 7/10

Fun. feat. Janelle Morae - We Are Young 9.5/10

Rudimental feat. John Newman - Feel The Love 9/10

Gary Barlow & The Commonwealth Band - Sing 6/10

Cheryl Cole - Call My Name 7/10

Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa - Payphone 8/10

will.i.am feat. Eva Simons - This Is Love 7/10

Florence & The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) 9/10

Wiley feat. Ms D - Heatwave 4/10

Rita Ora - How We Do (Party) 7/10

Sam & The Womp - Bom Bom 8/10

 

Wings would/will be an 8/10 moment

 

Pretty great year, I'm a bit strict with 10's but I can see some of these becoming 10/10 moments in a few years

For David Guetta, we got Where Them Girls At, Little Bad Girl, and all three of his promo singles at the same time as the rest of the world iirc. So maybe we'll get his new one soon too.

 

On a related note, I saw that the version of Wild Ones that Capital sometimes play that uses the chorus but has no Flo Rida is going to be on David Guetta's re-release. Maybe it'll go top 40.

How We Do above Titanium, really? :lol:

How We Do above Titanium, really? :lol:
I'm very aware I am possibly the only person to ever have this opinion, but I'm a sucker for a damn good, generic pop song.
'Twilight' is by far the best #1 this year.

 

Worst is probably 'Bom Bom'.

 

Does it count when it hasn't officially been a #1 yet? :unsure:

No, I did it too. :kink: Titanium's so overplayed and it stopped Alyssa from getting to #1. :coffee:
