Posted January 23, 200817 yr A cat farting into a microphone with a disco beat laid on top is probably above Cascada.... :P :lol: if a cat farting into a microphone was remixed with a disco beat laid on top and got maximum airplay from the hits and daytime radio would it be #1 next week?? do people download anything that they've heard on the radio/tv a million times or is there a thing such as personal taste anymore?? http://www.wrongway.org/images/flateric.jpg if you could buy maximum airplay (and yeah in some cases you can) would you be #1 however bad your record is?
January 23, 200817 yr Flat Eric. :heart: Anyway I do kinda see your point tigerboy, especially after Leon Jackson got to #1. Surely anyone who has ears would dislike that song?! :(
January 23, 200817 yr Indeed, it needs some kind of patronage - DJ, product, puppet! Although Colin Murray going mad over Malcolm Middleton's single didn't help it get any higher than number 31. Although I guess if it had been a week later and sold the same number it could probably have been top 10 in the quiet period.

Nope, it would have been lower...the week after xmas was the biggest singles sales week for decades in the UK
January 23, 200817 yr How do such utter spam threads be allowed to get this far? Well as one of the moderators of this forum I certainly don't object to this being here because it IS a relevant point about the current UK chart music scene albiet presented in a weird way and could equate to some interesting discussion.
January 23, 200817 yr could an annoying frog making motorbike noises with the beverly hills cop theme tune in the background get to number one?
January 23, 200817 yr could an annoying frog making motorbike noises with the beverly hills cop theme tune in the background get to number one? psh, no way, what a stupid idea that would be. :lol:
January 23, 200817 yr Could an annoying poster post a random picture and some ridiculous rubbish stemming from the fact that their taste differs from what's in the charts, and still get away with it? *Ponders* :mellow:
January 23, 200817 yr Could an annoying poster post a random picture and some ridiculous rubbish stemming from the fact that their taste differs from what's in the charts, and still get away with it? *Ponders* :mellow: Firstly, it isn't a random picture. That puppet released a song in 1999 that reached #1 on the UK charts off the back of an advert for Levi's and is used to back up the original posters point. Secondly, it's a relevant point IMO. Just because you don't agree with it does not make it 'ridiculous rubbish'. Just to clarify why I'm not locking it. :) Anyway if this topic descends into argument than I will lock it. But we'll see. ^_^
January 23, 200817 yr if you could buy maximum airplay (and yeah in some cases you can) would you be #1 however bad your record is? I say: yes! Everything depends on promotion: lots of airplay, TV ads, and the c**p quality of your music will definitely help your record to be Nr.1... :yahoo:
January 23, 200817 yr Well a Scottish teenager, who could not manage to sing in tune throughout the entire series.... who did a bad cover version of one of Mariah Carey's & Whitney Houston's worst songs in their back catalogue got to #1 for three weeks thanks to a sob story and promotion on a so called talent show. G5QUNZ_5GpU Hell, even a winner on a dancing competition is a better singer than him. In fact you could say it is "scandalous": m0ZayLAysjg Guess which one of those two is going in the studio with the Neptunes in March to work on new material?
January 23, 200817 yr Guess which one of those two is going in the studio with the Neptunes in March to work on new material? The Neptunes haven't been confirmed; nobody has yet.
January 24, 200817 yr Since Soulja Boy was No2 (I believe) in the Christmas chart - and the fact that January usually sees sh!t songs being released - probably. After all, if this can outsell this 4-1, who knows?
January 24, 200817 yr The Neptunes haven't been confirmed; nobody has yet. ?????????????? She confirmed she is working with Pharrell Williams when appearing on the Richard & Judy show last week after discussing how much her prior dancing (ie. in the video of N.E.R.D. - She Wants To Move video.) 1-0G1tdOaP4 Let's face it, it will be a million times better than the $h1t that the new Steve Brookstein will come up with next. Still I loved Richard referring to Leon Jackson as "It would have been like Kate Garraway winning Strictly". That was a classic quote, just summing up the ineptitude of all those gullible idiots who vote for the Scottish teenager who could not sing to save his life. :lol:
