Why is everybody comparing Example and Alexandra Burke? Is Alex like the thing we all measure "flops" by now?

 

I'm not worried for Example, I'm sure he'll get more hits in the future.

 

They're quite good mates, so it's good to see which is doing better than the other.

 

And i agree about the second half. I'm sure even Burke could come back hard next year with the right material :mellow:

Not sure which single I prefer more from this era: Picking Up the Pieces or Never Tear Us Apart. They are both brilliant, and have had great longevity for Paloma Faith tracks.

That's one way to put it! :P I still find it funny that she called him a "rassclot" on Twitter.

I'd say that I prefer Never Tear Us Apart from this era.

I really would love Just Be to take off too soon, but I'm not sure it can build up enough airplay and promotion for this time of year. It's perfect for the time of year though.

:lol: Did she??!?!? That's amazing! I swear it's just sexual chemistry though.

I'm not worried for Example, I'm sure he'll get more hits in the future.

I'm a bit clueless too about this :unsure:

 

And I agree that Example will get back into the top 10. Plus his album will be high up the chart too when released.

As for Alexandra... you can never know though what will happen in the future, but it looks like X Factor winners "go to the bin" after their second/third album. :wacko:

Oh, is it because of what he said about her on Twitter a while ago? I was thinking, it's a really random comparison, but I get it now. :lol:

 

I think Example will have an easier time than Alex I think. Capital and Radio 1 might still feasibly play an Example song in the future, giving him a hit. Alexandra seems to have been basically black-listed by both stations. Even if she releases the best song ever, it doesn't look like they'll play her.

Didn't Radio 1 playlist Elephant though? :unsure:

 

This has done amazingly for a post-album single from a relatviely unknown artist! Especially considering most of his looning fans would have got his album!

Yeah i'm sure Example will still be huge next year. His streak of hits is too big to ignore, and his albums usually do decently too!

Another Top 40 would be great. I'm sure Paloma has a couple of performances lined up, and I believe it's still being used on that advert.

Although Pink rose to prominence as an R&B singer in the classic '90s LaFace mould, a front displayed on her debut CAN'T TAKE ME HOME, it was when she took control of her own image in 2001 that she truly became an icon. While the Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes) composed hit "Get This Party Started" strayed not all that far from her initial dance-pop path, the remainder of M!SSUNDAZTOOD revealed an artist schooled in the punk tradition. Further recordings wandered down multiple paths, cementing Pink's reputation as a genre-bending pop songstress. - HMV

Only after it became at #3 smash hit! I'm fairly sure they dropped it after one or two weeks though.

Glad to see Example flop. Hopefully he can go away and we'll never hear overly pretentious lyrics that pretend they're meaningful in a monotonous voice void of all emotion to a generic electro-beat ever again. One can have dreams, can't one?
Try deserves to do so much better. :( But a 7 place climb is good I guess. I hope it can be reduced or she has some big promo for it. It's far too good to miss the top 20. :(
