It was in a newspaper I read this morning, The Metro or The Mirror maybe, cant remember which.

The pics had Charlie in a suit getting dunked into a pool of gunge and then Perrie and Jesy looking very smug standing next to him as he got out :dance: . Im guessing it was from the video, unless it was another TV performance I havent seen.

Any news on the video? I saw pictures in a newspaper that looked like Charlie gets dunked in gunge by the girls in the video!

Given how huge Mariah's streaming has been, if the chart was announced on Christmas Day, with all all streams upto and including Christmas Eve eligible for the chart, how high would she have charted?

Bruno's sound on his new album is different from his previous two albums. If he had come out with another "Locked Out of Heaven" or "Just The Way You Are" then he would be shifting more albums.

I really don't understand how people get excited by such a trivial thing.

Gaga fans have been saying this will be a hit for a while, still not happening!

I presume a lot of people have been putting money on Mariah so the bookies will cut her odds to cover themselves.

If she still doesn't get any streaming from it then it will struggle for top 40. Robbie Williams got to around #5 on iTunes with Love My Life, it stayed in the top 10 all week but only went #33 officially. The added problem Gaga has is that Christmas songs that are low on iTunes could go ahead of her officially as they will have decent streaming and X Factor Final, BBC Music Awards and Royal Variety itself are going to give a lot of artists chances to boost their singles ahead of Gaga.

Haha, she's needed to an X Factor performance and a 59p offer to get #12 on iTunes. If this is a success then some people have very low expectations!

Sad to see Gaga totally bombing given how huge she was a few years ago.

To an extent I agree, the growth of streaming has meant younger people are more happy to stream an entire album rather than go out and buy a £10 CD or buy it digitally. But the likes of Elvis, Alfie Boe, Andre Rieu etc, have always sold well at this time of year, older, established artists always sell a lot before Christmas. Bruno and The Weeknd may well sell big numbers in the coming months but I never expected them to have huge debuts.

I take your points but I never expected Emeli to have a huge first week total. The singles have underperformed but I think that was to be expected given the long wait and the way the singles chart is going now with established artists not charting as high. I didn't think Emeli would have people rushing out to buy her album on release day but I think she could keep selling at a good rate. I think people need to judge her properly and Olly too after Christmas.

I think people are being too harsh on Emeli. The long gap between albums has probably had an effect but I can see her being a consistent seller upto Christmas. She's one of those artists that is a very easy Christmas present to give, I think her sales will hold up pretty well.

The thing is none of the established album acts (Robbie, Buble, Emeli Sande) have had any big singles to push the album. The only contender to have a big single is Little Mix which I think pushes them into contention. I think the album contest is very wide-open and will come down to which acts perform on the X Factor Final to get that final push.

Does it not just make it fairer and more realistic about how people consume music?

Shes lost the black vote since she married a white guy.

Love the song, the video has so much attitude. Mollie smoked smoking hot in the opening on the video too.

The article only states downloads and streaming will be released from 12:01 on Fridays but I presume albums will be released on Fridays too?

Anyone know where Lily Allen's highest single is? Need to know for project!

It doesn't but it shows she is not as successful as she is made out to be. She obviously has a large, cmmited fanbase but apart from that, hardly anyone buys her music yet she is made out to be this big-selling, populist artist.

I kinda liked the colour scheme and the girls were using diffrent techniques rather than sexing it up straight away to get attention. Bit dull it has to be said but it just shows people liked the song.

Just wondered what people thought of this video. I hate it, I find videos like these so hypocritical. The constant feminist videos that female singers release really grates on me, just a cheap way to pander to a certain demographic.

I don't necessarily see why top 30 would be a good result, someome like Cheryl (one of the the most famous women in the country) should be able to do better for post-album sigles than scraping top 30s. I mean how many albums has she sold? Not many so she shouls be able to sell singles still better than that.

There is no harm in her doing different stuff. She cant be making music like "Rudeboy are you big enough", there needs to be some maturity someday.
