October 19, 200817 yr Pop is dying! Up! is a terrific pop tune and it doesn't even beat an X Factor chipmunk How exactly is pop dying? A song by a brand new pop group who haven't had a reality tv show to back them up has made it to #5, Leon is dreary pop, Geraldine is comedy pop, and Pink is pop/rock - 4 of the 5 songs in the top 5 are pop

October 19, 200817 yr Author 4 (from 2) Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697352002.JPG Chart Run: 1-1-1-2-2-4 [6 wks] Release date: 15-9-2008 Availability: in stock Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697352002 Label: COLUMBIA Though Tennessee's Kings of Leon are a rock band from the south, that doesn't mean they're a Southern Rock band. The Followill brothers Caleb, Jared, and Nathan (along with their cousin Matthew) play a straight-ahead, hard-driving brand of rock & roll that owes more to Crazy Horse and the Rolling Stones than it does to Molly Hatchet. Their debut album, 2003's YOUTH & YOUNG MANHOOD showed them to be an earthier equivalent to garage-rock contemporaries like the White Stripes and the Strokes. - HMV Video here: Album Discussion
October 19, 200817 yr Pop is dying! Up! is a terrific pop tune and it doesn't even beat an X Factor chipmunk Clearly it's not! There is lots of pop in the chart including what's been #1 for the past few weeks! The Saturdays were bound to do well due to the money spent on them but I don't think we need more groups like them in the charts personally.
October 19, 200817 yr 5 The Saturdays - Up [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1785660.JPG Chart Run: 5 [1 wk] Release date: 13-10-2008 Format: CDS Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 1785660 Label: POLYDOR Video here: ajZfbvQFfuo track listing 1. Up [radio edit] 2. Crashing Down Discussion Thread Here An improvement from the group last hit and the song's positon on the charts is "up" from their first chart hit.
October 19, 200817 yr I cant understand how one can like things such as The Saturdays or Britney over bands like Within Temptation or The Verve- which actually SING REAL NON CHEAP music.

A song by a brand new pop group who haven't had a reality tv show to back them up has made it to #5, Leon is dreary pop, Geraldine is comedy pop, and Pink is pop/rock - 4 of the 5 songs in the top 5 are pop All are pop but none are pure pop, you know what I mean, Leon Jackson's is just awful, Geraldine is just a comedy track and P!nk is more rock pop like you said. The Saturdays are POP pop. It's hard to describe but we only have a few artists like the Saturdays around like The Ting Tings and Alphabeat
October 19, 200817 yr Leon even as high as #3? God damnit, the country really has gone to the dogs. :(
October 19, 200817 yr I cant understand how one can like things such as The Saturdays or Britney over bands like Within Temptation or The Verve- which actually SING REAL NON CHEAP music. its becuause they ahve major loads of promo compared to bands like WT and also the genereal music listening public have bad tastes, i never see NIN top of the charts yet they sell out bigger venues than people like The saturdays.
October 19, 200817 yr little girlies dont like rock bands, they only like music to pout in the mirror to Edited October 19, 200817 yr by peteseaton
October 19, 200817 yr ^ Leon and Geraldine will both bomb next week anyway. I reckon Leon 3 > 10 and Geraldine 2 > 15.

October 19, 200817 yr little girlies dont like rock bands, they only like music to pout in the mirror to That's not really true. Kids buy a lot more rock/indie these days, and pop has become a little bit alternative :)
