New iTunes thread is up Battle of the iLoons? I think so. :D

Oh dear, if Icona Pop and forthcoming new releases (before they've even been released :lol: ) can generate 52 pages of discussion, I think this coming week will end up with a Pt II thread around Thursday. :D

GHOSTY!!! :w00t: Wahey, we can finally go to Caerfyrddia for BJSC. :D Congrats Martin.

Ghosty's got no nails left, he's bitten them all off in these last 3 minutes. :D

Ghosty's debut win is long overdue so I'm also hoping it happens. :D

So just as Mdiče looked like they were on their way to victory, Caerfyrddia have overtaken again. :D Agree with Bre, the top 5 is brilliant. Have to give commiserations to Umi who just lost out on points from me in the final (think Bebe Black was 12th iirc) but glad to see the track doing well.

So is this the point where Caerfyrddia run ahead of everyone else? :D

If the record company have any sense, they will release 'Wake Me Up' a week tomorrow (7th July) as the fake version already top 40 proves that there is already demand for the track. I actually really like the track, it's certainly unique and unlike any other dance track around at the moment. It feels like an ode to 'Swamp Thing' by The Grid too which, imo, is no bad thing. :D vR_EOKcEw1M

I have the album 'Bad' on cassette somewhere - can't play it anymore though as I no longer have a tape player. :D

What are the chances of the winner currently being outside of the top 10? :D Is Harve going to do a Charice 'Louder' style win? :lol:

Bloody 'ell, I genuinely didn't expect points from Chezy, yet alone a 12. :o Muchas gracias!!! :wub:

Over 100 points *.* Another run-of-the-mill thanks guys comment but it's always appreciated. :D As much as Freeze is brilliant, I'm hoping Megan & Liz's song doesn't win. Disney Pop really doesn't appeal to me. :(

Ok, I'm catching up and up to page 7 so this will stand out like a sore thumb but YAY at temporarily being 1st. :D Now time for the inevitable tumble down again. :lol: Oh, and Leww :angry: :( Thanks for the points, third set of 12 from Ashton. :wub:

Ben & Lee :w00t: Thanks for the points, another 12 too. :wub: Juran Juran smashing it. *.* Now Stromae would be an ace winner. :D

Ohh, on another note Ojnoj topping the scoreboard at the moment. :D Maybe we could have a debut win this month judging from the top 5 atm. 'Warrior' is a lovely song, no dissing!!! :angry:

Me and Rich both love a slice of dance music every now and again 10 minutes. :dance: Thanks Mr Delta :D

Thanks John :D That's better, but not brilliant. I swear if FSR Rontvia had entered 'Zombies In Love' they'd be top 5. :lol: 9 Aeroche // Chordashian - Cold Nights <--- y'what? :o

Yay for Nick and his drunken votes. I suggest everyone votes whilst drunk next month. :D

Is this just a misleading start for Aquafina, or could Lee actually get his first win? Well, Lune hail from Sweden and being Swedish has been the flavour of 2013 it seems so... :D

Make it 7 now Harve. Consider this an "intimate gig" if you like. :D

:lol: Oh dear, there was me thinking Tom would vote at the last minute as per usual.

Hmm, not heard 'Classic' yet but when I first heard 'Thank You' by MKTO I just had a gut feeling it'd become a hit in the UK. I know it's already available to buy because I bought it a few months back!!! :D <--- shameless

The problem with The Apprentice, as has been proved in the last couple of years, is that you could be outstanding for 10 weeks and avoid being in the losing team, make the final two and STILL lose (just like the lady in 2011 who lost out to Tom of all people!!! :manson: ). So whilst Neil might appear to be one of the strongest contestants, I'm almost certain he won't win. What I do know is that when Lord Allan Sugar says "you're hired", most people watching will, once again, think "what...REALLY?!!!" :D
