June 10, 200718 yr Suff Top Of The Pops, that was past it's sell by date. Bring back CD:UK With Cat Deely and And & Dec, CD:UK deffinatly attracted a more younger/teenage audience CD:UK & Cat Deely NOOOOOOOOOO!!! :puke2: :puke2: All there was on this show was Mc$h!te or Pestlife every week. As for it attracting a more younger/teenage audience - the audience it attracted was more are 8 year olds.
June 10, 200718 yr What an awful idea :puke2: that wouldnt increase sales of chart songs either, it'd decrease them as potential Rihanna buyers spot Paul McCartney and buy that instead! So then its lose-lose for everyone except the rich sods from the 60s whove made hundreds of thousands from royalties anyway! But at least younger music buyers would have the choice of hearing the great classics they missed. One example: Motown, Atlantic & Stax from the 60s was far superior than the rubbish urban of today. Put artists such as Gladys Knight & Aretha Franklin up against Beyonce. Gladys & Aretha could sing, Beyonce :puke2: Or Human League & Duran Duran up against acts like McFly - McFly wouldn't stand a chance - musically anyway. Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye up against R. Kelly or Usher - nuff said. Edited June 10, 200718 yr by Euro Music
June 10, 200718 yr You may not like Yonce but she CAN sing! You'll always be able to say compare such-and-such-a-legend with such-and-such-an-urban-artist but the fact is its the urban artist thats releasing music today...
June 10, 200718 yr We don't want another Elvis type thing on our hands thanks very much. We already have it happening again this year - wish he'd stay dead. <_<
June 10, 200718 yr Simple way to boast sales. Include sales done online especially those from channel islands.
June 10, 200718 yr More advertisements on tv, more music programmes on ITV and BBC maybe if all the big indepedent commercial radio stations in the united kingom didnt have the same AC format ans actually played something different than timberlake, nelly and gwen. might have a more intersting chart??? people might get to know less boring things.
June 10, 200718 yr Only one thing would bring back the massive sales of the late 90s, the extinction of illegal downloading programmes ;)
June 10, 200718 yr Maybe Have a Music channel with just the Videos and none on this My Sweet 16 c**p just the Videos and a few adverts
June 10, 200718 yr if you have a single like 1. Main song 2. B-Side = £1 1. Main Song 2. B-Side 3. B-Side or Video = £2
June 10, 200718 yr But at least younger music buyers would have the choice of hearing the great classics they missed. One example: Motown, Atlantic & Stax from the 60s was far superior than the rubbish urban of today. Put artists such as Gladys Knight & Aretha Franklin up against Beyonce. Gladys & Aretha could sing, Beyonce :puke2: btw Gladys Knight does have a new album out of Jazz tunes out on Verve Records, called Before Me, you might like to buy it from hmv for £12.99. no wait a minute is that the sound of a million soul music fans saying 'no we will stick to the old stuff and buy her repackaged back cat in tescos instead" :lol: Jan 2007 'Before Me' will be Gladys Knight's debut recording on the venerable Verve Records label. The album is a heartfelt homage to the great legends of song who paved the way for her to become a legendary performer in her own right. 'Before Me' finds Knight interpreting timeless material. From the righteous blues of 'God Bless the Child' and a bossa nova-kissed 'The Man I Love' to the spirit-sending 'Come Sunday' and brassy 'I've Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)', it's clear that Knight's voice is as clear, strong, and expressive as ever. It's also clear how near and dear to her heart this project has been. Or Human League & Duran Duran up against acts like McFly - McFly wouldn't stand a chance - musically anyway. well Mcfly you say, a pop band who got criticised for recording a Jellyfish cover for their last single. wait a minute whats this coming into view is it the worst album ever recorded??? wait a minute i dont think that's McFly's who is being credited for this release. http://www.duranduran.biz/wallpapers/duran-duran-thank-you.jpg maybe teletext is right maybe the lilac time are brilliant??? maybe McFly sould look up some of their stuff next and cover them after jellyfish :lol: and btw while there is this link to Robbie's Rudebox*. Do What You Like by Take That! Seen that a couple of times today!! No wonder its in the Really Bad Videos list. shocking record :lol: actually might be worst than the #1 wtf were they thinking of record (rudebox) on the hits. http://musicweb.cz/data/2090/robbie-williams.jpg * like Alcazar also includes awful Human League song. If anything like 'Dont you want me baby' probs orig version terrible as well. Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye up against R. Kelly or Usher - nuff said. but R Kelly has a midget living under his sink!!! respect is due just for his closet series!!! I think the demise of Pop shows like TOTP, CD:UK has made a huge hole for promoting of new music, people are more in favour of wall to wall music stations for me that's c**p its not really promoting anything. I would love to see a live show back on TV. well for the last two days tmf and the hits hae brought out their very best in c**p. Russ Abott, Javine, Hale and Pace, DJ Otzi, Vanilla, David Hasslehoff, Peter Andre, Rednex, Take Taht jelly video, 2 Unlimited etc etc
June 10, 200718 yr Never understood why the peer-to-peer programmes are still open Also, music videos from youtube would have to be removed if they were shut down Edited June 10, 200718 yr by blade699

So then its lose-lose for everyone except the rich sods from the 60s whove made hundreds of thousands from royalties anyway! I disagree with you here..the Elvis re-releases sold well and those were only limited editions. If there was better music out there on cd singles, people would buy more singles.
June 13, 200718 yr Not deleting singles would help, although we are not hearing much about that at the moment
June 13, 200718 yr If record companies spent less money on investing cash in physical singles and concentrated on downloads - that would help enormously. No force can reverse the physical single - these boss types thinking of ways to do so need a foeward thinking approach. Places like HMV and Virgin - or even supermarkets should have some sort of facility where you can - quite literaly - use some kind of on-line interactive computer where you literally choose what songs you want onto a disc, say like 10 songs for five pound for example. They should replace the single sections in HMV etc with these computers! That would give the singles market a REAL kick up the booty! Just think of creating your own mini self-made compilation while you do a food shop in Tesco?! Our lives are far too demanding and extreme to buy singles with a single song on it! ...And this is coming from someone who still loves the ailing single! Edited June 13, 200718 yr by ScottyEm
June 13, 200718 yr We need more promotion by the artist themselves... more tv shows such as CD:UK/TOTP, where artists can perform/ get to know them better>> make people like them and buy their singles... ERM I also think that music video downloads on Itunes should count as a single sale.. coz technically you are still buying the single but the visual version...
June 13, 200718 yr ERM I also think that music video downloads on Itunes should count as a single sale.. coz technically you are still buying the single but the visual version... 100000000000% agree with this post. At the moment the video's don't really do anything :lol:
June 13, 200718 yr we need more music shows i agree like toto and cd uk mtv is rubbish now its less music and more jackass by the week
