Kanye West 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
According to Pitchfork, "Good Ass Job" is no longer the title, and there's a new single coming, either "Lost In The World" or "All Of The Lights". The Yorke / Reznor inspired lyrics sound very interesting too. Maybe Power is now just a hype single, albeit a fantastic one? Can't wait for this album, so excited for it, his previous 4 have all been masterpieces.

Robyn 'Body Talk, Pt. 1 2 & 3' 2010
I can't find this anywhere :(. If it is better than Part 1, then I'm massively looking forward to it though!

Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns - September 14th
Don't mind The Catalyst actually, new album could be interesting. Hybrid Theory was one of the first albums I ever bought, so they'll always be somewhat special to me!

Ne-Yo 'Libra Scale' | Sept '10
My thoughts EXACTLY. Nothing on Closer.

Big Boi 'Sir Lucious Left Foot'
Possibly the best album since Late Registration? Certainly since Tha Carter III :wub:

Kele - The Boxer - 21st June (Kele from Bloc Party solo)
So disappointed in this, hope its not the beginning of a decline for the main band. On The Lam is OK, the rest is all just a bit meh.

Arcade Fire 'The Suburbs' | 02-08-10
Love it already, especially Sprawl II, We Used To Wait and The Suburbs. Obviously no Funeral, but I think some people are being a bit unfair on Neon Bible. It wasn't THAT bad, it was just never going to be as good as its predecessor. Strings, as always, are amazing from Mr Pallett :wub:

Mercury Prize 2010
I hope Mumford & Sons don't win. For me, their really overrated and remind me too much of a (bad) Fleet Foxes. Its not even that I don't like them, I enjoy the singles, but the album is a bit samey. Dizzee is a surprise, its easily his worst (most commercial) album, even if it is still better than 90% of the rap genre at the moment. Paul Weller is a surprise too, but other than that, they do seem to be playing it rather safe. The xx / Marling for the win, please.

Albums that did click years after you first heard them
Funeral by Arcade Fire never really clicked for me until about a year after having it, similarly with Purple Rain. Again, I never fully got EMG when I first bought it either, since my first experience with the Manics was Holy Bible (which in itself was a grower), but now love it.

Will this ever be beaten?
Isn't Coldplay's next album supposed to be their last? I think I read somewhere they would release it this year then retire. If so, that could be enough to beat it? Most likely not though. Otherwise I (sadly) don't see that record being broken anytime soon. Oh, actually maybe a Take That / Robbie reunion album? The 2 TT albums since their comeback have had huge one week sales, maybe the reunion would be enough to push it over the 700k mark.

Who's overdue a #1 single?
Agree with a lot of people saying Muse, Bloc Party, Killers, Amy Winehouse etc. I'd also say Radiohead definitely deserve a #1, and possibly Vampire Weekend in the future. And you never know, one year The Pogues might finally get there too.

iTunes Chart: January 2010
Dire top 2, if Florence could somehow climb it would be fantastic. Though I'm surprised by its sudden popularity. Similarly in the albums, could they finally get the #1 MJ denied her in the summer? :o

Previous X Factor winner single sales
I think they might have just started counting with an accompanying physical available, but physicals were still the majority market share.

Previous X Factor winner single sales
Interesting that the highest first week sales was for the only one given an ORIGINAL song (and it only got released on the Wednesday)...
