Chemistry

If the whole law suit wasn't already bad enough.. I just don't understand why Nicki still has so much industry support.

Love Machine is obviously a classic in their discography, but I could at least name ten singles I prefer. Having said that, it's still a very very good pop song of course and in a better sales climate, it would have surely been platinum already.

Very much looking forward to that! Hope we'll get a GA lip sync as well.

Wow, that's very interesting. Certainly wasn't expecting that, without the album being on iTunes and also not on streaming services.

This should be very close to platinum now, right?

This was probably the hardest round so far, I am glad we went with Hole because I don't think I'd have been able to vote for the 'babes if Push was send.

Girls Aloud - Call the Shots Kylie Minogue - In Your Eyes Lady Gaga - Bad Romance P!nk - Don't Let Me Get Me Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There Sugababes - Hole in the Head This was way too hard, I LOVE 11 of the 12 songs, most of them are among my favourites of the particular artists :lol:

I just love love love Tabitha so much, she is definitely not the most polished, but everything she says makes me laugh so hard and she is just so incredibly pure. Having said that, Puny is still my absolute favourite and I was shook she was in the lip sync this week, certainly did not deserve that.

I love love love this song, obviously, but at the same time it's a song I very rarely listen to these days. It's a bit too overplayed and overrated for me, a true song for the "locals"/ straights (like Toxic is for Britney). Having said that, I cannot deny the impact this has had on pop music and Kylie herself in particular. It really was a big moment, I was 10 when it came out and remember being obsessed and buying the single in the record store.

Some small millstones on Spotify- Jump just hit 26 million streams and Something New 12 million.

The funny thing is that Wannabe probably made more money this week than the #1 single on the charts :lol:

That's certainly true. This year has been great for girlband fans (expect for GA obviously, like you already mentioned). But we are getting quite spoiled with both One Touch and Spice + Atomic Kitten being back in the charts a few weeks ago. Who would have thought all this a year ago? :heart:

Omg no way :lol: I hope the paycheck for Mel is very high, that's all I can say.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That made me laugh out loud. Could you imagine!

I am very surprised she is actually doing this; especially the US version! Thought she would do the UK version instead. But good for her, it obviously is a nice paycheck for her (wouldn't surprise me if she used this money to fund the next record) and could bring her some extra attention. With this being on in the US and The Voice Kids coming up in the UK, it's a good strategy for her.

Doing better on streaming that I expected! Those downloads show once again how low downloads are, with them being at #3 on the iTunes chart the other day.

That's what I think as well, their monthly average listeners has grown with around 100,000 in the last two days so people have definitely been streaming them more but it's not focused on one particular song.

This indeed. Part of me thinks they will never do something again, as I cannot imagine the girls without Sarah, but it's too soon to really think about this.

This: https://twitter.com/MrRoryBoyle/status/1434534668804689923 , is a great Twitter thread with lots of highlights as well.

It has been heartbreaking, but at the same time lovely, to read all the messages and tributes. Obviously Nadine's and Nicola's hit hard, but Keisha also made a very touching post as a lot of others have done. Appearantly Xenomania were interviewd by Radio 1 for a tribute that will be broadcasted today, so that will also be an interesting one I imagine.

Beautiful and bittersweet to see I"ll Stand By You doing so well, it's a lovely tribute to her.

I'll Stand By You is currently charing at #23 and #36 on iTunes :(

That Brits moment, the bum note and "Here I am walking Primrose" are definitely up there for me. I'd also add her "come give me love in kinky style" line in Fling, iconic. Also her crashing a very expensive sports car in a tv show.

Same for me. Girls Aloud have always been such a special force for me, helping me through my own darkest times and just giving me so much joy. Their music, but also their personalities, have such a special place in my heart and I cannot stop thinking about Sarah. It's good to read so many stories and tweets about her, remembering her together and seeing all the fans coming together. She has achieved more in her life than most people could dream of and has such a legacy :wub:
