This "interview" was cringeworthy and pointless the first time. Even more so the second time around.

 

Yup.

Why do we have to listen again to these interviews? :angry:

 

I'm surprised Sam Baily is this high, must be the physicals helping her out.

 

Saying that I've not seen a single copy in any shop yet, and I've been in Tesco and specifically looked for it in HMV. It's not like they've sold out since she has had such a low seller there should be a shedload left over, unless they didn't bother to make that many this year in the first place.

 

Can't believe we're listening to this time-filling dribble again (or the interview just now...)

I guess Sam Bailey has probably overtaken Steve Brookstein's total? Although she'll almost certainly finish behind every other X Factor winner's single.

Thanks for that toilet thing again -_-

TBH I'd have released her version of My Heart Will Go On. That was fantastic.

The Power Of Love (Jennifer Rush) would have done better imo.

The Monster. :wub:

The Power Of Love (Jennifer Rush) would have done better imo.

 

 

Yes, either would have done better than the one they went with.

This top 10 is so bloody stale. :lol:

The Power Of Love (Jennifer Rush) would have done better imo.

I agree with this. I also think they should've made 'Don't Let Go' the winners single for Little Mix, but obviously 'Cannonball' hasn't hurt their career.

Poor Sam :( deserved better than this.

 

Shame no Idina top 40, but she'll rise up and be #1 soon enough :smoke:

Ellie Goulding at #1 :D And stopping Gary from getting there :D :D Congrats Ellie!

Ellie Goulding back up and number 1 on the albums chart? How come? Price decrease? :o

Happy for Ellie being Number 1 on the album chart :D

Yay, amazing top three albums! Hoorah for Ellie finally getting her second #1 album! I thought Halcyon Days would get to #1 when the re-issue was released but I didn't think it would take this long! Brill to see a new peak for Beyonce too, and Gary getting another week in the top three!

I love that Ellie has made #1! The original part of the album is super! 'Halcyon', 'Hanging On', ''Figure 8', 'Anything Could Happen', 'Only You' and 'My Blood' are all incredible. :wub:

Biography

Ellie Goulding is a British vocalist whose music finds the balance between electro-pop and indie folk. Born in Hereford, England, she later moved to the country's east coast to study drama at the University of Kent. Goulding had developed a love for folk music as a teenager, and her time at University also exposed her to electronica. After two years, she took a break from her studies and moved to West London, where she pursued a career as an alternative singer/songwriter and befriended producers like Starsmith and Frankmusik, who gave her songs an electro-pop twist. In 2009, Goulding began building an audience via the internet, where early tracks like "Starry Eyed" and a cover of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold" were posted on taste-making MP3 blogs such as Discodust. Goulding soon graduated from the blogosphere to print media, gaining praise from mainstream publications like The Guardian and fielding offers from record labels. She ultimately signed a major-label deal with Polydor Records and began making preparations to release her debut album. In the meantime, she penned songs for Diana Vickers, Gabriella Climi, and others.

 

During the final weeks of 2009, Goulding topped the BBC's "Sound of 2010," a poll conducted by British music critics and industry insiders to identify new talent. Building on that momentum, she released Lights — a sparkling debut album that splashed Goulding's vocal flutter across a landscape of acoustic and synthesized instruments — in March 2010. Lights topped the U.K. charts during its first week and spun off a Top Five single, "Starry Eyed," which also charted well in Ireland and New Zealand. Later that year, the album was re-released as Bright Lights, featuring seven new recordings (including a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," which peaked at number two). In 2012, Goulding returned with her sophomore album, Halcyon, which showcased an even more sonically adventurous, electro-pop-infused sound. In 2013, a deluxe reissue featuring ten extra songs was released, entitled Halcyon Days, it acted as supplement to the original release. ~ Andrew Leahey & Jason Birchmeier, Rovi / iTunes
