Just a suggestion - would it be possible for next week, for the chart posts, where it says:

 

Little Mix

Little Me

Salute 2013

 

...to put the year of the album in brackets or something? It kinda looks like the album is called Salute 2013 this way :P

Ooh, glad that this is finally on it's way out now! Dark Horse though. :wub:

Biography

A former Christian artist, Katy Perry rebranded herself as a larger-than-life pop star and rose to prominence during the summer of 2008. Before she topped the charts with songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career.

 

At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette's chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group's two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as "the Next Big Thing!"

 

With the Matrix's unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with "I Do Not Hook Up" several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry's debut single, "UR So Gay," generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was "I Kissed a Girl" that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008's One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, "Hot N Cold" became her second multi-platinum hit, "Thinking of You" (one of the album's three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and "Waking Up in Vegas" cracked the Top Ten.

 

Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry's biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his fiancé. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with "California Gurls," which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August. The album would be reissued in 2012 as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, with the bonus track "Wide Awake" earning Perry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance. - iTunes

Little Mix such a flop x :) They will definitely get dropped soon

I'm reporting you to Google for calling them a flop :(

Massive drop for Little Mix, which is quite surprising. And, it's taken this long for me to start tolerate 'Roar'. It's still a pretty poor effort, considering it's Katy Perry though!

Such a shame Sara Bareillies didn't get a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance. That would have been hilarious.

Shakira + Rihanna has truly grown on me, I thought it was a bit naff at first.

 

Come on Sophie!

Roar finally on its way out. :cheer: Making way for Dark Horse :heart: (I hope that goes top 3 in a few weeks)

Biography

MC and producer Kid Ink — born Brian Todd Collins in Los Angeles, California, and formerly known as Rockstar — rose steadily by releasing a series of four mixtapes during 2010 and 2011. XXL magazine was impressed enough to list Kid Ink beside the likes of Danny Brown and Macklemore in its Freshman Class feature for 2012. That June, Kid Ink released Up & Away, his first proper studio album, via Tha Alumni. Although it featured beats from several producers — including Ned Cameron, Cardiak, Jahlil Beats, and the Amazinz — there were no guest verses, and therefore no disruptions in Kid Ink's nonchalant flow. It peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart and reached number three on the publication's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. After another mixtape, he signed to major label RCA and prepared his second album. - iTunes

I'm reporting you to Google for calling them a flop :(

I was joking :lol: although I'm sure you already knew that but just making sure.

quite the drop for 'floppy me' :o

 

can see them getting dropped quite soon

 

They are not going to get dropped soon. End of.

You guys are aware that joke about Little Mix is painfully unfunny aren't you? Just like it was all along.

I was joking :lol: although I'm sure you already knew that but just making sure.

:lol: Of course I know :P

Well, this has spent 4 more weeks top 40 than I thought it would!

This is decent enough

quite the drop for 'floppy me' :o

 

can see them getting dropped quite soon

 

I doubt it. Little Me has done quite well in the long run. I'm sure 'Word Up' will do well on release and raise plenty of funds for Sport Relief.

You guys are aware that joke about Little Mix is painfully unfunny aren't you? Just like it was all along.

So are all chart forum in-jokes, they're meant to be so unfunny that they become funny.

I don't think it's too difficult to understand that it's not in the name of the album, as the year is everywhere there. You will get to use to it in the future :P

I agree with Joseph though that it might be confusing. I thought for a minute that Shakira is going to release a new album called 'Shakira 2014'! (like Kylie Minogue 1994)
