September 14, 200818 yr Knew this wasn't a good single choice. Not a bad song but she should have released something else.
September 14, 200818 yr Author This was a pretty good choice for a single I reckon (although Distant Dreamer or re-issue of Rockferry may have done better) but has managed to keep the album high profile :D
September 14, 200818 yr This was a fantastic Album Track. Should never have been put out as a single. They should have Double A sided it at least.
September 14, 200818 yr Knew this wasn't a good single choice. Not a bad song but she should have released something else. Really though, the album has sold well over a million, and acts rarely get more than two big hit singles off one album in the current climate, it was never going to perform miracles. Her album's still selling strongly, that's most important.

September 14, 200818 yr This was a fantastic Album Track. Should never have been put out as a single. They should have Double A sided it at least. Double A-Sides are pretty much pointless in today's environment.
September 14, 200818 yr The law of diminishing returns, happens to the likes of Dido as well, hopefully it will spur the album towards the 1.5m mark.
September 14, 200818 yr Knew this wasn't a good single choice. Not a bad song but she should have released something else. I agree, it sounds too much like an old Gabrielle track for its own good. The record company really should have gone with Distant Dreamer as the 4th single IMHO.

September 14, 200818 yr 33 Queen + Paul Rodgers - C-lebrity [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/2370102.JPG Chart Run: 33 [1 wk] Release date: 8-9-2008 Availability: back in stock in 7 days Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 2370102 Label: PARLOPHONE Queen embodied 1970s glam rock--mixing heavy riffs and intricate vocal harmonies with a gender-bending image. Freddie Mercury's operatic voice and Brian May's guitar were multi-tracked ad infinitum to create pomp-rock in the grandest sense. In the '80s, Queen tried on rockabilly, disco, and more, but always returned to their arena-rock roots. Mercury's tragic AIDS-related death in 1991 effectively drew a line under the band's career. However the surviving trio never officially disbanded and in 2002 they unveiled the musical, WE WILL ROCK YOU. In late-2004, May and Taylor teamed up with Paul Rodgers--Free/Bad Company vocalist--to perform at the UK Hall Of Fame Awards. The unlikely collaboration was then extended for a World tour the following year, and late-2006 plans for a new recording were announced. - HMV Video here (live): f3ovN40FwRI track listing 1. C-lebrity 2. C-lebrity [Al Murray's Happy Hour And Now Play It Tutorial] The first new recoring for Queen in years the first to feature Free/Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers. Not a bad song but great to see the group who gave us the 2nd biggest Uk #1 song of all time back on the charts for the first time in years.
September 14, 200818 yr :heart: My most played song on iTunes at the moment :wub: with 20 plays! I hope it climbs back up iTunes soon as it seems to be falling down alot :(
September 14, 200818 yr Well, this song is a Buzzjack wet dream :lol: That's one way of putting it :rofl:
September 14, 200818 yr This song should have had a video. :( Deserved to do better as it's for a great cause and is a decent contemporary song IMO.
September 14, 200818 yr I hope it climbs back up iTunes soon as it seems to be falling down alot :( I doubt it will go back up, I think this play on Radio 1 is the only 'promo' it's got now.
