Usually I moan and get bored of songs 5 minutes and beyond.

 

But every second of Untouchable is amazing :wub:

Revolution in the head is one of GA's best tracks yet - amazing.

I am totally loving the loving kind it gives me call the shots style feeling (maybe not as good) but love nicolas bit!

 

BUT bar this and Untouchable i am struggling and i so want to love it!!! But i am finding alot of tracks dull... I do like parts of love you bow wow but not the bit when they sing i miss u bow wow! hmmm im still undecided thank god for Untouchable and The Loving Kind!

I think I am actually obsessed with Untouchable :wub:

 

I just can't stop playing it, its so immense! Definitely my favourite GA song! Nadine is fantastic on the chorus especially and the 'robots' bit but all the girls sound amazing!

The album is new at #7 in Ireland ! This is GREAT !! :dance:

 

The single is down 3 places to #5, mainly due to Beyonce and Britney entries ^_^

haha how can a song be down 3 places and then end up at #2?

do you mean #12?

 

I really like rolling back the rivers.. and love is the key!

Down to #5.

The album is really goood, the only issue i have with it is some of these songs seem to be really long when they dont need to be.

Their first #1 studio album :wub: And golly, it deserves it.

its great th egirls have managed the highest new entry in this weeks album chart in ireland at number 7,,i knew the album wouldnt go number 1 here but its there secong d highest album position and a huge improvement on the number 25 peak of tangled up

Just for info, the girls are credited on 4 songs from Out of Control : Love is The Key, Miss You Bow Wow, Revolution In The Head and Live In The Country :dance:

They are credited on She aswell (The Promise's b-side) ^_^

Did all 5 girls help write all 5 songs then? Or did one of two help write one and then another one of the girls help write one and so on.

Im not sure, it just says Girls Aloud.

I guess all of them don't always work together when they co-write songs, I guess it's more like one or two co-write it, and they credit the whole band or then it would get too complicated for the money and stuff (cause I guess you're paid more when you're co-writer) ^_^

the song writing is where the real money is so they are probably trying to get mor einto that side of it to

I literally couldn't get to sleep for 2 hours the other night, as I had THe Loving Kind, Revolution In The Head, and Untouchable glued to the brain, going through and through :lol: :heart: I couldn't stop singing them in my head :lol: So glad I was on a late the next day :lol:

To my knowledge it's illegal to say more people wrote the song than was actually the case - if all 5 girls are credited and say, 3 other song writers, the money is split 8 ways - but if in fact only three girls co-wrote, plus the other 3 writers, the money SHOULD be split 6 ways, so the other writers end up getting less cash.

 

Claiming to have written when you didn't or to have written more than you did is quite common in the industry though. On Taller In More Ways, Mutya was crediter as a writer when she only actually co-wrote one or two songs, and Beyonce frequently claims to be a song's main writer when it's pretty much a known thing that she isn't.

To my knowledge it's illegal to say more people wrote the song than was actually the case

 

Well, actually they just have to change a word or add an exclamation point to get credited as co-writers.

So one of the girls may write some lyrics, suggest it to an overall brainstorming with the other girls and their lyricists, and they can all legally get credited.

Isn't it general industry convention that if you're in the room at the time, you're credited because you MAY have contributed something and it saves arguments later on? That seems to be the case here.

 

I love this album now btw :wub: Songs are still growing but atm there are only 3 or 4 I would skip and there 4 or 5 I really like :wub: Some are too long though which I take issue with.

What, so if Nic's mum was in the room she'd be credited?!
