The first time I heard this song was about 7 years ago in the morning on 22nd December when I was at my Auntys house and she was singing to it :P

Though journalistic shorthand often finds Nickelback dubbed "the Canadian Creed", the band found success on its own terms right from the start with the 2000 debut album THE STATE. It may be true that the band's heavy guitars, pounding drums, and dramatic vocals are in line with the Creed approach, but like that band, Nickelback is equally indebted to the heavy metal and hard rock heroes of the '70s. As with many other 21st century heavy rockers, though, Nickelback fits catchy pop sensibilities into their sonic onslaught, ensuring as enthusiastic a reception from radio as they receive from their rabid fanbase. - HMV

Kelly Osbourne is $h!t at radio. I've only ever heard her advert speeches and they sound god damn awful!
Anyone else think it sounds like he's saying 'Goodbye Mr Aids'? Im surprised the record company allowed it actually. Or maybe its just me being stupid!

 

Yes, just maybe...

2007 has been an unbelievable year for The Enemy; the boys from Coventry saw their debut album go straight into the UK charts at Number 1 and spawn three Top 20 chart and airplay hits. They also recently won ‘Best New Band’ at the prestigious 2007 Q Awards beating off fierce competition from the likes of The Twang and Pigeon Detectives, sold out three UK tours, and supported some of Rock’s royalty in the form of The Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers and Kasabian to name a few.

Therefore what better way to finish off the year than by releasing the title track (and one of the many highlights) from the album 'We’ll Live and Die in These Towns'? - HMV

DONT DISS THE OSBORUNE. :nono:

What I don't understand is why Mariah is probably going to be the highest re-entry but it's not really one of the biggest Christmas hits ever, it didn't even reach #1, it can't be those sofa adverts. :lol: Some of the more traditional Christmas songs have already charted lower than this so far.

Lol, she looks amazing now but she sounds $h!tE!

This is the 6th xmas to hit the chart this week and it would have hit #1 if the original recording of "Do They Know Its Christmas" came out in '84. Also, I remember hearing that Barry Manilow tried to sue the duo for ripping off his tune "Can't Smile Without You" for this Xmas classic.

GO KATE :wub:

 

Much better than ''Mouthwash''. I hope it can go Top 20 at least when released :D

Woo Pumpkin Soup won. I'm slowly starting to love this song. :wub:
