Pure shores is my fav. It's their one song I keep streaming. Also love Surrender as an album track.

I've heard the complete opposite about their gigs. Friends of mine who've gone to a gig as a group and a lot of them have said worst show ever. They just did't even care and gave no effort whatsoever. Might have been an off day but almost everyone I've spoken to have not been majorly impressed by them.

I'm beginning to agree

What would you call them then?

The chart is incredibly stagnant right now. Nothing new being released that's having any sort of impact. Crap songs staying around for weeks on end. I'm not getting the Bieber love at all. The songs are not good. Love yourself is quite decent. The other 2 singles are bland r'n'b. Just feel like the chart needs a few big songs to explode in January otherwise we'll have the same top 5 for another month.

So glad it wasn't even close in the end. A great cause getting the #1 and showing some people power. Sometimes things are more important than the actual song getting #1. I do think we may start seeing a few more challengers from now on.

And people wonder why streaming is bad for the charts

I like both but prefer Mariah

Leona won 2006, Alexandra 2008

Was just about to post the same thing

Trouble is awesome

Just a legend and every now and again his music appears somewhere so 2,000-3,000 people decide to buy it. I was going to buy it and didn't get round to it. Might do over the summer.

I've just listened to the song and this decision is farcical. They have similar beats but that's it. Maybe a little bass is similar but they are such different songs I've heard a closer link between Uptown funk and some song from the 80s than this link

Love Kiss Kiss

I was a huge fan of Deuce back in the day. First single i ever bought was I need you and their album was one of the first i bought. It's so random when it comes on my iTunes now

Yeah Ellie's song is alright but noting amazing

Totally agree Common Sense. more Abba gold has some gems. Under Attack being my favourite. I'm still shocked that Abba Gold has sold almost 500,000 this decade with albums sales plummeting. Wonder if it will get another boost before the end of the decade and sell a million this decade?

Doesn't the fact that they haven't made it tell you something though? Gone are the days when hidden talent gets discovered on X factor. It's all people who have been trying for years and failing (usually cos they aren't good enough) or people who did have something but it didn't work out.

LOL

I was going to ask about the S Club 7 songs. That was a shocking performance though. Only Bradley seems to remember how to sing properly

People buying Christmas songs already? it's not even November lol

Very impressive sales for Taylor. Good to see another 'big selling' album come along. With the christmas sales to come should easily clear 500,000

This battle reminds me a bit of Cheryls Vs Rihanna with Only girl. Cheryl looks like getting the #1 here but Magic will probably outsell her in the long run

I can't stand Happy now. It makes me want to vom and I loved it at first. Glad I never bought it. It's just been everywhere for 6 months at least.

That's why i'm going to like the charts. Less 1 week #1's and record companies manipulating the charts
