Am I the only one that wants to sing 'Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona Chameleon' at the chorus?

Did you enjoy the evening? That was my first time at it and I loved it! :D

Having attended a Eurovision video preview party at the weekend, I thought I'd share the results from the voting with you all. Bottom 3: Albania Romania Montenegro And the Top 10: 10th Cyprus 9th Austria 8th Iceland 7th Latvia 6th Spain 5th UK 4th Australia 3rd France 2nd Bulgaria 1st Russia The favourites all seemed to be received well by everyone, with perhaps the exception of Sweden. Obviously, when it comes to live performances some of the songs might fare better, while others will no doubt suffer. For me personally, France and Russia were still the stand out songs while Estonia, Austria, Spain, Bulgaria and Latvia sounded much better on the night than when I'd listened to them previously. Perhaps that was the effects of alcohol as much as anything though...

How much have Think Twice and I Just Called To Say I Love You sold? Thought they might be on the list.

I'd be interested in seeing any of the other Scandanavian countries and how they compare. Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland have all produced some excellent music over the years.

I'm the same with Hanson and Usher. :D

I have learned to never underestimate what Adele is capable of. Having only released one single, I think it's too early to be saying with any certainty that 25 won't outsell 21. Given the colossal sales of 21, it does have a long way to go. However, Adele's promotion always seems well planned and with plenty of potential single choices who knows what the album is capable of selling. Personally, I think there's definitely the potential for plenty more sales. Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran both sold well over 800,000 copies last year, having been out for a while. I imagine Adele will remain top 10 all year and easily sell another million copies of 25.

It was definitely the biggest seller - Love The Way You Lie was unique in being the first ever song to not reach number one and still be the best selling single of the year.

How much is 'shamefully large'? After reading your post on Sunday I put a small bet on Justin. If he ends up being Christmas number one, I have you to thank. :dance:

Last year the criteria was no top 20 single or album up until the 4th of November. I imagine the cut off date is pretty much the same this year, hence why WSTRN are just eligible.

I think Coldplay will sell well too. I'm predicting 235,000. As many have said, people who are out buying Adele might pick up other albums too.

Scouting For Girls 'This Ain't A Love Song' was a bit of an unexpected number one for me. I vaguely remember at the time people being a little shocked by it getting there, particularly for two weeks.

For me, Madonna's release of Take A Bow in 1994 was an unexpected disappointment. After more than 30 consecutive top 10 hits, and with the song reaching number 1 in the US, I would imagine people expected huge success but it only reached number 16 here.

I remember trying to find Skyfall on Spotify last year and the only version they had was one with cats singing... The Adele version is on now but that might partly explain why she isn't in the top 10 streamed Bond songs.

I made a Spotify playlist of the top 100 songs, in case anyone is interested. It's called 'Buzzjack - Record of the Decade' so shouldn't be too hard to find. All the songs should be the correct versions, though obviously Taylor Swift's aren't...

Have to say, as much as it pains me to admit it, I do enjoy the Silento song... It's all about Sigala for me just now, though. Expecting it to be huge and being in the year end top 10. Perhaps I'm just being optimistic because I'm a fan.

I think You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' by the Righteous Brothers also did it. Robin S came close with different versions of Show Me Love peaking at 6, 9 and 11. Can't think of any others though.

For me it has to be when 'Whole Again' entered the charts at number one. I'd been following the charts for a long time and didn't see that coming at all, particularly based on Atomic Kitten's success up until that point.

It was performed on Comic Relief on Friday night and received a huge boost following that.

It was performed on The Voice last night.

That's what happens when you work night shifts and have no idea what offers are for what day... :wacko:

OneRepublic - Native, Rudimental - Home and Michael Jackson - XSCAPE are all 99p today. :D They seem to have removed the bit showing the 99p albums for some reason.

I can see Ella climbing massively after her X Factor performance tonight, possibly even challenging for the number one. The song is great and her live performance of it will hopefully be amazing!

I suppose everyone's idea of what songs are considered classics will differ. Week Ending 18/03/1989 Madonna - Like A Prayer Guns N Roses - Paradise City In my humble opinion, both of these have stood the test of time well. Week Ending 08/12/1973 Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Elton John - Step Into Christmas Elton didn't make the top 40 that week, but entered next week where Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody was also a new entry. Who'd have thought that 40 years later they would all be Christmas classics?
