Hitstastic

I had a gut feeling Stooshe would be a potential top 5 hit so if it keeps climbing it's very likely to get there. Demi was always going to smash but even I'm surprised at how well Tich has taken off - even with the pre-orders. I wouldn't have predicted 'Dumb' to go top 10 but at this rate it could well get there. Just think once 'Blurred Lines' is released, it'll probably shoot to no. 1 on iTunes if Demi can get to no. 8 so quickly.

iTunes thread <--- new thread up and running :D

Maybe Bastille are hoping it'll help sell their album more. At least that way if it fails, 'Pompeii' will have had a boost in sales instead.

Have to admit, those 2 young lads singing 'Little Talks' on BGT was an inspired song choice. Also changed my opinion on the fella who won the battle on The Voice after singing 'I Won't Let You Go'. Didn't like him at all in the blind auditions, but wow he really sold it on tonight's show.

I just think a lot of Daft Punk's fans were disappointed with the material they released in 2005. I still think 'Robot Rock' was a lazy song as I commented in that weird Daft Punk new band thread. :lol: 'Get Lucky' is probably being hailed as a true return to form kinda like Kylie Minogue when she released 'CGYOOMH'. Why else would 'Get Lucky' be selling in such big numbers? For me, it's purely down to the fact they've delivered an incrdible song and it's appealled to a widespread audience. Still doesn't mean the album will sell bucketloads. The albums market is just not what it was 6/7 years ago. I do believe that this will change but it'll probably end up including stream sales or something to boost album sales in the next couple of years. idk?

...but I said 7 :o Oh well, it was good while it lasted. :lol:

Trying to be realistic here, I'd say 101-125k. People just don't buy albums like they used to so it's difficult to see this selling bucketloads.

Interesting concept. I shall choose 7. :lol:

Having seen the video to 'Heart Attack', I can't help but think that Demi is trying to be Kelly Clarkson circa 2005. I don't mind the track but I'm fully supporting Daft Punk to get a potential 4th week at #1 and shoot up to #1 in the YTD chart. :D

Not listened to these yet (oops will do this evening) but GD's comment above about this being a "dancy edition" interests me.

Well I sent Martin an mp3 of my entry. :o

Daft Punk still have a mighty lead on iTunes so I think they've got a good chance of remaining #1 next week. Demi Lovato could be as high as #2 next week depending on how well Passenger does. Still think StooShe have a chance of going top 5 whilst Wretch 32 is possibly set for a chart entry between 6-10.

Yeah, this is the most obvious #1 contender right now. Last time I was as certain of a track going to #1 was 'Need U (100%)'. If it's top 40 on iTunes with just a pre-order, this is bound to smash big time when it is finally released.

Soon? After tonight's show I'd say they've snapped already. :D

Oohh, are we allowed to enter songs that have already been in a BJSC final before? :D

Have to agree with Jack on this one. It really does define clunky in a spectacular way (even Girls Aloud 'Something New' wasn't this clunky!!!). It sounds like they've listened to all the big club bangers from the last 2 years, pinched ideas from all of them and tried to make a new song putting them together. Like Jark says, the breakdown is abysmal. Calvin Harris' similar breakdown in 'We Found Love' sounds a billion times better in comparison. The chorus makes me think of 'Starships' by Nicki Minaj. That robotic voice that says "make love, don't fight, let's f*** tonight" is wrong on so many levels. :lol: (probably tried to come up with an "every day I'm shuffling" tagline and failed big time). That aside, Pitbull's Spanish rapping is an inspired addition even if the lyrics are just as mumbo jumbo as 'Don't Stop The Party'.

Looks like The Wanted will be #1 then once it's released. Saw the video on Capital TV this morning and thought the video (being a spoof of other boyband videos) would've actually been a brilliant idea for the 'Gold Forever' video with that being for Comic Relief. As for the song, let's just say I still think 'Glad You Came' is their best. :D

Yes, here's an idea then Mikey. Open the voting tomorrow and close it on Friday. 48 hours to vote. :D

I'd hope we have sufficiant time to listen to the songs and vote so that it doesn't clash with BJSC too much. See what others say, but I think we had 2 weeks last time to vote iirc?

Interestingly enough, I also thought Armin Van Buuren was just trying to recreate his own version of 'DYWC' with his new single. However, I do actually like Armin's new single but it doesn't come close to the absolute choon that was 'In And Out Of Love'.

By un-UP, do you mean it's a song people might already know but you're sending it anyways. :D

When I first heard 'Slip' it sounded like a massive hit in waiting. I still think it'll do well when released. Just because Radio 1 haven't playlisted the track means nothing. 'Moves Like Jagger' and 'Start Without You' both did well without Radio 1 support. Capital TV have been playing the video to 'Slip' so it's getting support from other commercial radio stations. Doubt it'll be #1 but I'll be very surprised if it isn't top 5.

FSR Rontvia on fire already and confirmations haven't even closed yet. :D I've successfully got my entry. Going British this month.
