Sour Candy

Tuned in to listen online... Half of the time they're talking about the dvd videos they're bravely using... So THIS is RADIO in 2012 then?

 

I get that Jason Mraz's video is full of clichés but so are the presenters :D

 

 

15 A-ha "Analogue (All I Want)"

12 Morrissey "You Have Killed Me"

10 Pet Shop Boys "I'm With Stupid

08 "Editors "Munich"

06 The Streets "When You Wasn't Famous"

05 Paul Oakenfold feat. Brittany Murphy "Faster Kill Pussycat"

04 Madonna "Get Together"

03 Muse "Knights of Cydonia"

02 Jamelia "Beware of the Dog"

01 The Feeling "Fill My Little World"

 

-02 Tony Christie "Is This The Way (To The World Cup)"

I'm waiting as well for my story.. argh

24 weeks, since the release of Take Care (the album)

 

Both have sold over 2 million downloads.

Oops, meant to post that in the iTunes thread...

 

Easy mistake to make :)

 

Regarding to Beastie Boys, I doubt any of their songs will re-enter the Hot 100.

Horrible news! Going to reminisce a bit with 'Sound of Science'

Where?

Surprisingly loving the album! Great work as a whole, brilliant pop tunes.. Bubblegum Bitch is PERFECT and Lies and Homewrecker stand out as well. Primadonna sounds a bit lost in the album and very glad they didn't include Radioactive in the end.

Voted! Quite strong edition after all I must say.

I understand your point but sales are just one factor of a song being a hit... If the sales climate is healthy, a song can achieve 3 million downloads without being a hit that everyone will remember.

 

There have been songs that were never released as commercial singles at the time but are still career-defining hits. (Nelly's Dilemma for example)

 

GYC will probably remain bigger airplay success than WMYB but which one will be better remembered? Too early to tell.

So far GYC has been - quite naturally - a bigger airplay success than WMYB which pretty much explains the current situation.

 

WMYB has peaked at #4, GYC #3.

I predicted April, so was wrong, BUT it did had its lowest weekly sales by the end of April :D

RHI has spent 20 weeks on chart already and is not selling that well tbh.. It won't go Top 5 but top ten just with a strong airplay.

Wait... I'm not influential enough that people just post what I say as their opinions? :lol:

Tekkno Scene is worth some love, definitely.

Ah, Frankie Rose, totally forgot her. It's a good album I agree.

 

Also Kathleen Edwards' latest but it's more folkpop/country.

Kelly Osbourne "One Word"

 

I'm still not over how this sounds exactly like Visage's Fade to Grey. Rightfully they got paid out of court.

Do you mean newcomers?

 

If not just them, I'm looking forward to the Beach House album.

 

Orbital's Wonky has been a pleasant surprise.

 

I think new indie acts are not very interesting at the moment.. maybe it's just me getting old.

 

Although I'm glad that Of Monsters and Men + Alabama Shakes have made a commercial breakthrough.

Killing Joke - Love Like Blood , The Wedding Present - Kennedy, Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole, Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause

 

These should be Top 100, totally agree

 

Morrissey out :(

Boo

 

Anyway, 2005 is probably my favourite year followed by 2006 (in greatness too, not just in calendar..)

 

15 Kanye West "Diamonds from Sierra Leone"

12 Basement Jaxx "Oh My Gosh"

10 Scissor Sisters "Filthy/Gorgeous"

08 Kaiser Chiefs "Everyday I Love You Less and Less"

06 Hard-Fi "Hard To Beat"

05 Rachel Stevens "So Good"

04 t.A.T.u. "All About Us"

03 Depeche Mode "Precious"

02 Garbage "Why Do You Love Me?"

01 The Game "Dreams"

 

-02 G4 "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Interesting selection.. Not perhaps the highest quality but pretty interesting.

 

Wish there was more rock.

 

I'm in the mood of 'Neptune' atm.

Me too. Also Starship

 

Cheesy stuff can be good too

I don't know anyone who doesn't appreciate Come on Eileen... Maybe it's a cultural difference :P

Been reminiscing these genres recently, from MJ Cole to Artful Dodger.

 

One of my favourites:

 

 

Share yours!

They're doing The Voice? Brilliant.
