Parallel Reality

Excited to hear a new track Ke$ha is involved with. :wub: 'Crazy Kids' turned into a decent sized hit in the end.

This sounds quite good on first listen, although I don't listen to Ciara THAT often, I have liked a couple of tracks since 'Work'... Namely 'Never Ever', 'Gimme Dat' and the phenomenal 'Got Me Good'. :wub:

Just heard this and it sounded quite good on first listen. :D

I love this and want it to go top 3 but I think it'll go just top 20.

'Young and Beautiful' feels like it's been and gone. If there was to be any more remixes I'd have liked one for 'National Anthem' or 'Cola' or 'Gods and Monsters' or something.

When did 'It's My Party' get so high? :mellow: At least 'Talk Dirty' will prevent it from being a #1. I am torn between liking 'Work Bitch' and being indifferent. I do really like the beat but I don't understand what she's saying in some of it. :lol:

I am liking this on first listen. I'm a big fan of John Martin's vocals and have loved the SHM songs he's featured in. Also, this is SO much better than 'Trampoline' which remains one of the worst songs of the year for me.

I (shamefully) liked the singles from his last album (Boyfriend/All Around The World/As Long As You Love Me) but I wasn't a massive fan of 'Beauty And A Beat'.

I actually love this, it's very well produced. I actually really really like it after 2:30!

I really like 'Talk Dirty' and am glad it's heading for Jason's third UK number 1. Also glad to see Jessie J trailing behind for the moment. It's actually a horrific song and beyond a joke. It's still about 80 places too high at the moment. I haven't heard the new Avicii track, but it might just scrape the top 10! Also glad Birdy is doing okay as I really had a feeling she'd flop.

If she gets an X Factor performance (which there is a pretty good chance bearing in mind she's a frequent guest) then it could go top 10 in the UK and help to sell the album a bit. Not sure though, and I'm not sure we'll actually be getting a video, as apparently there was one confirmed and apparently filmed for 'Pour It Up' too. WHY CAN'T THE SILLY BINT JUST RELEASE A SINGLE MIX TO "Love Without Tragedy"? IT WOULD BE AMAZING.[/loon] I would love if the feature was with Katy Perry. To be honest I am excited for a Rihanna feature with anyone, to be honest.

I've been holding out for 'Are We All We Are' but it's not going to happen. This is alright though. :)

I do like this song a lot more than 'We Can't Stop' but she looks like a constipated poodle in the music video :( I think she's coming across as a bit too try-hard this era and it's a bit grating. That said, 'Wrecking Ball' as a song is quite good.

Never did I ever expect to see OneRepublic in the top 2 on iTunes in 2013 :o . They're usually so underrated. 'All The Right Moves' and 'Secrets' should have done so much better than they did. Although 'Counting Stars' is a little generic, it still sounds like an anthem and it is a lot better than some of the dirge that's out at the moment!

I really like this song, so much better than 'Girlfriend' and I think it is their best hope at not being one hit wonders. It's similar enough to 'I Love It' but different enough to be worthy of doing well also. I do hope it can do well, I can see them getting at least radio 1 support.

I really wish Carol went then. Dreadful woman. However, sort of pleased Louis went but gutted Courtney left. Would have minded if Mario went and I'm not a massive fan of Vicky, but I have a lot more respect for her than Carol.

Really pleased at Counting Stars being at #6 :o Hopefully Do I Wanna Know and Same Love's top versions will be top 10 very soon. Also glad Example is staying away from the top 10 so far. Awful man and recently awful songs. (Apart from 'Close Enemies', but the lyrics still aren't great.)

I really like it on first listen. :wub:

A bit bland but alright, and I don't think she'll push a music video for this. A single edit of 'Love Without Tragedy' would have been AMAZE but I think she should let this era go now.

I hope 'Do I Wanna Know' can FINALLY go top 10 officially this week!

Great video. :wub: Hoping to see it on the music channels very soon.

"Let's believe" :lol: In all seriousness, I am so excited for this video. It's just going to add to my obsession of this track. :wub:

I didn't pay any attention to the YM@6 comments because I just assumed everyone was discussing a new album, but what a random thing for their new single to be at #2 :o . 2013 has had a fair few of chart surprises so far!

Macklemore to 19 Robin Thicke to 69 :kink:

Macklemore to 25. This is doing so well, I think it's the type of song where even minimum exposure would boost its iTunes position. Really happy this is finally taking off!
