August 19, 201214 yr 15 George Michael - White Light [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/3710020.JPG Chart Run: 15 [1 wk] Release date: 13-08-2012 Format: CDS Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 3710020 Label: Island Jul 2012 "Hi everyone. On the 29th of June this year it will be thirty years to the day that 'Wham Rap', my first single, written with Andrew Ridgeley, (on an afternoon that the two of us should have been at school!), entered the British charts. To celebrate and commemorate those thirty wonderful years I am releasing my most recent song, 'White Light', to radio on the exact anniversary of that chart date. Although I know the music industry tradition on such occasions is to list the hundreds of millions of albums sold, the number of records broken and awards received over all those years, I would simply like to say thank you. Most of my fans realise that I dreamed of a career as a singer/songwriter from an early age, but never in my wildest imaginings could I have known that I would still be here thirty years later, healthy, happy, and feeling that I still have so much more music to give. It is miraculous in so many ways. Fate has been so kind to me, as have the millions of people that that have bought records and come to see me play year after year since 1982. I am truly blessed, and 'White Light' is my thank you to everybody who has been a part of my success. And I mean everybody, including the press!! Long may it continue."

August 19, 201214 yr Really not a fan of this new George Michael song. I don't think he deserves the backlash he's got for performing a new song at the Olympics though. It's certainly better than 'True Faith' though! Edited August 19, 201214 yr by Bré
August 19, 201214 yr I am not listening to the chart show regularly - but what about the best part of it? Celebrity Chart Numbers! Is it no longer done? :o
August 19, 201214 yr I don't mind George Michael, but this is really dull, just like his performance at the ceremony.
August 19, 201214 yr I was expecting this to be like True Faith, but it's much better, and also better produced imo. Black Heart. :heart:

August 19, 201214 yr So if the top 10 is likely to be: Rita-Wiley-Emeli-Elbow-Kate-Calvin-Florence (7) and then likely Trey Songz and Redlight - who do we think will occupy the #10-13 positions. Edit: Minaj at #13. Leaves Angel, Maroon 5 and Porter Robison. Hoping Angel's managed to scrape a week inside the top 10 - supporting team GB 'n' all!
August 19, 201214 yr Slightly ahead of things, but if Kate Bush makes the top 5, then it will be her first top 5 hit since 2005 with King of the Mountain (and it seems like yesterday). Prior to KOTM, her last top 5 hit was once again, 'Running Up That Hill'.
August 19, 201214 yr Hopefully sales for both singles and albums will be up this week - the Olympics have boosted both!

August 19, 201214 yr 'Payphone' out of the top 10 :cheer: Now PLEASE vacate the premises quicker than 'Moves Like Jagger'.
August 19, 201214 yr Really, really hoping that 'Wonderful' doesn't make top 10. I rarely 'hate' a song, but I just want to rip my ears off whenever I hear it :puke:
August 19, 201214 yr Porter Robinson v. Angel for the #11 spot - and likely that one of them will forever remain a #11 peaking single. Unless by some strike of luck Redlight has fallen 05-11, in which case both will have attained top 10 status (also meaning there's 7 new entries in the top 10 this week!)
August 19, 201214 yr Slightly ahead of things, but if Kate Bush makes the top 5, then it will be her first top 5 hit since 2005 with King of the Mountain (and it seems like yesterday). Prior to KOTM, her last top 5 hit was once again, 'Running Up That Hill'. How did kate get a top 5 hit as recently as 2005? Was it the sales climate backed with a long awaited come back, i cant imagine anyone other than radio 2 playlisting her?
August 19, 201214 yr Language is going to be #11, isn't it? :( It BETTER NOT BE. It's probably in my top 10 of the year already and I've only known it for about a month. Blatantly will be though :( Edited August 19, 201214 yr by Bré
