Also, can we ditch the assumption that to be a great artist you have to write your own songs? Writing songs it a totally different talent to singing songs.

 

Agree. I've always found the hate given to artists who don't write their own songs unnecessary.

Elvis never wrote a song and he did ok!

Elvis Costello is one of the Great Songwriters of his generation to be fair!

There is only one 'Elvis'

Elvis Costello very much needs 'Costello'

Instead of Scott covering the chart show from 2-4 on Friday, he should do it 1-4 and play the whole top 40 in full

Nah, its two fold - mainly if you write a song your connection and meaning with the song is of course infinitely higher than one that has arrived on your desk. it's hardly written from your deepest self.

 

Secondly and more importantly is the talent involved, with 7bn people on the planet there are a lot of good voices - creating original music worthy of impacting people and lasting is an extrodinarily rare and far superior talent, imo.

As it looks like Coldplay have the number 1 Album in the bag this week wonder whether next week will be another 2015 Album getting to top,

 

Either Bieber or Adele both performing at Grammys will surely sell more than Kanye West. Grammys need to be a Kanye West-free zone after recent years especially as there are tributes to the likes of David Bowie planned.

The Gaga performance could push Best of Bowie back to number 1.

Ideally not for much longer than that (as great as the song is)

hopefully little mix can climb atleast another place also great to see the album rising again
