August 26, 20204 yr if she keeps selling 10 times more than Joel today and tomorrow, she could go top 40 Which would be Vera's third new entry of the year in the top 100 :lol:
August 26, 20204 yr People thought the BBC wouldn't play it at the Proms this year... (from a Times "insider" I believe) but they are :lol: it's only instrumental this year because they can't have the choir there, but they've even said it will be back to normal next year so it's just You haven't told the full story. It went like this: 1. A rumour came out of nowhere from an "insider" that the song was not going to be played, because it is considered racist. 2. A lot of people get really angry about it on the Internet. 3. THEN, after the backlash, an official statement is made, where they say that they will play the instrumental version (and with vocals in future years), and they say that the reason is not because it is racist, but because of coronavirus. People with certain political views believe that they are lying and would have completely left it out had it not been for the leak and resulting public outrage, forcing them to make a compromise. Most of these people don't believe the official statement and they believe they will try and remove it in future years, if they can get away with it with less backlash next time. People with certain other political views believe the leak was completely false and they believe the official statement that it is just due to coronavirus and it will be back as normal in the future. Who knows the truth. I am not arrogant enough to claim I know the real truth of what happened here. I will keep an open mind.

August 26, 20204 yr Good christ, imagine being such a Tory that you download Vera Lynn singing Land Of Hope And Glory to "make a point" or "protest"
August 26, 20204 yr Good christ, imagine being such a Tory that you download Vera Lynn singing Land Of Hope And Glory to "make a point" or "protest" I would bet anything that none of those doing this even watch the proms. Ugh, these people are the worst.
August 26, 20204 yr At least it's a slightly more tasteful choice than '17 Million Fuck-Offs' this time :lol:
August 26, 20204 yr LadBaby x Vera Lynn this year... Sausage Roll Britannia? :lol: We’ll Meat Again (Two Metres Apart in the Greggs Queue)? The Lottery Winners have a really quite decent cover of We’ll Meet Again on their new album recorded in lockdown. Turns it into an actually contemporary sounding pop song!

August 26, 20204 yr We’ll Meat Again (Two Metres Apart in the Greggs Queue)? The Lottery Winners have a really quite decent cover of We’ll Meet Again on their new album recorded in lockdown. Turns it into an actually contemporary sounding pop song! Yeah it's a solid album! Hopefully they can get their second top 40 album in a year! Matt Bellamy of Muse fame has also done a nice cover with The Jaded Hearts Club n-Grcm2Ki7c
August 27, 20204 yr Is that Alistair Griffin from Fame Academy?! I'm surprised to see him so high on iTunes. Managing to appear in the top 25 on iTunes...17 years after Fame Academy? I know it won't trouble the actual charts, but that's still a decent achievement for him. Good on him.
August 27, 20204 yr Of course Vera Lynn had 3 songs in the top 10 of the first ever chart. We really have come full circle.
August 27, 20204 yr I am lovin the BBC backlash, they come for "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Rule Britannia", middle England tells the BBC to get stuffed. Vera Lynn comes to the rescue again. Edited August 27, 20204 yr by PeaceMob
August 27, 20204 yr Clean bandit are performing their new single on The Voice Kids final this weekend, Looking forward to it.
