August 30, 200717 yr An update from the administrator over at the official forums: Jamelia returns triumphantly to the UK music scene this autumn with a collection of her greatest hit singles, 'Superstar - The Hits', released via Parlophone Records (EMI) on September 24th 2007! 'Superstar - The Hits' features seven Top Ten singles including the smash hits 'Thank You', 'See It In A Boy's Eyes', 'Something About You' and of course Jamelia's worldwide anthem 'Superstar'! The album celebrates Jamelia's ten successful years in the music industry, taking the listener on a journey from her first Top 5 monster smash hit 'Money', right through to her recent Top 10 hit single 'Beware Of The Dog'. Jamelia says: "It seems the right time to put out a Greatest Hits and have all the best tracks I've recorded from the past ten years on one album". Check back here soon for full details of 'Superstar - The Hits'!
August 30, 200717 yr Author Well thanks for the info, but it seems certain there's no lead single for it :(
August 30, 200717 yr It might not be too bad, Jack. TLC managed to get to #53 with their recent GH. I know it doesn't seem like an achievement, but when you consider all the promotion it received was adverts, it really isn't bad at all. Jamelia's been everywhere and she's more recent, so even if it's just adverts & reviews that are promoting it, there's a chance it could still chart well. If the label put out a megamix video to channels to promote, that would be good too.
August 30, 200717 yr Author That's a good idea, the megamix vid. Even if not, like you said the song should speak for themselves as long as we get a decent TV ad. ^_^
September 2, 200717 yr The tracklisting according to the website below: 01. Superstar 02. Thank You 03. See It In A Boy's Eyes 04. Stop 05. Money 06. Beware Of The Dog 07. DJ 08. Something About You 09. Call Me 10. Bout 11. No More http://www.ciao.se/Jamelia_Superstar_The_Hits__607756
September 2, 200717 yr But still its a GH so they should have it on there and BND. Theres gotta be a reason why they havent. FIND OUT!!! :rofl:
September 2, 200717 yr Because Parlophone are a piece of c**p, Paul. This tracklisting really doesn't suprise me. :angry:
September 2, 200717 yr Author Unless there's some legal reason - which seems unlikely since all the other Drama singles are included - it's stupid not to include BND. It would quite easily fit on the tracklisting.
September 2, 200717 yr It would, but you have to remember Parlophone are trying to make profit from this. "No More" is more known & recent than "Boy Next Door" (despite it charting lower). Most people don't even know she released "Boy Next Door". I don't see why they couldn't include it on there in the first place. There's plenty of room for "Boy Next Door" and a couple of unreleased songs. Ugh. :angry: :(
September 3, 200717 yr Author From Popjustice: This is out in a few weeks. http://www.popjustice.com/images/stories/j/jameliasuperstarsleeve.jpg FYI all of those songs - amazingly, there's virtually one for every year of Jamelia's career - except 'No More' are brilliant. In other news ('in other news' in the sense of 'also on the press release'), Jamelia is about to move into the haircare world. That's right - she's got herself a Saturday job sweeping the floor at Toppers. We are joking, of course. She has teamed up with Erin O'Connor and Helena Christensen to invent something called 'Model.Me' which is a range of stuff to put on your hair to make it look nice. http://www.popjustice.com/images/stories/j/jameliawalkwithmesleeve.jpg Blimey.
