    Is this OUT of the chart after only one week...that's not great! It's still no.5 on Amazon & 21 on iTunes which isn't better than what I was expecting. It was No.1 on Album Downloads last week so it was streaming that was his downfall!

    Me Without You should have been the third single instead of Light It Up. Literally a music video on the deluxe ready to go...labels are so weird with their decision making!

    On first listen, the first few songs I've heard I have to say LOVING what I have heard so far. I don't really buy digital downloads for anyone although I am a big physical CD/Vinyl buyer, so when I saw the deluxe edition surprise a few days ago it was a very nice Taylor Swift type surprise. 9 new songs albeit with very short track lengths of covers which I personally think didn't hit the mark for COTBF covers album are included. I need both versions in CD jewel cases and would pay good money for these if anyone knows how to get them made! I hate paper sleeves although I still bought Light It Up obviously. When I heard about 2 music videos being included with it I didn't hesitate to buy it at all - Can't see it being added to streaming that quick but why wasn't Me Without You released instead of Light It Up! Love the No Mans Land video too! Wow what a campaign/era - we've been given 6 music videos! INCREDIBLE. Supporting Will always, a shame the sales on Monday were only 6k I was expecting at least 10k! I'd regard at least 10k sold for the week a OK success. I can't understand why it's not doing more as it's still No.1-2 on both Amazon & iTunes and he's still got Loose Women promotion today!
  4. Its all become awful at arenas now, if you buy seated tickets everyone is standing but you can't stand for so long without sitting which means you can't see!
  5. SPOILERS AHEAD What a honour to finally see the girls I've been supporting for 22 years in person and live! They look so petite and glam in real life. Nicola took my breath away! Cheryl. seems like a teenager. Nadine didn't look human, her legs are like twigs! and Kimberley seems abit bigger on TV but she's normal size there. And...they didn't disappoint! You'd never think these were near forty years giving us an amazing show stopper of a show. Untouchable as the opener I never predicted, but it's perfect opener 'Through wind and rain we got here' gave me goosebumps, nice podiums nod to tour adverts too ! Amazing setlist with plenty of deep cuts of keep fans happy in Girl Overboard, Graffiti My Soul and On The Metro -proof they know their fans! The Sarah tributes were beautiful and apt - still hard to believe the incredible Sarah Harding is not with us no more. Whole Lotta History goosebumps! I think Love Machine and Biology weren't used in their full effect -just lost in the setlist. Love Machine is tour closer level ! Not the impact they should have had. No Good Advice gave me goosebumps. Long Hot Summer how nice to see that performed again however it's supposed to be summer and its not doh! Really clever work with the I'll Stand By You duet with Sarah. Hear Me Out should have been used as a interlude somewhere... So many nods to their nostalgia! Amazing stuff really. We were in row F, so worked well for us - 2 x £135 = £270! annoying that people are now getting 2 for 1 that's not fair and also poorly thought out staging for the VIPs, they pay £212! and watch half the show with the girls to their back to them? Stupid choice to do this! You can't win either you are at front of the standard rows or VIPs and not both!
  6. Welcome back WILL! Been supporting him now for 22 years from the beginning. A new Will Young album is likely to be another masterpiece. The new single is good, I've seen better & worse lead singles from him. Didn't know he was back properly with BMG again, how amazing! Loved what he did with Cooking Vinyl but it's good because they can give him a proper budget for the release and music videos which I think the last two albums lacked in getting him some decent promo slots and interviews, he will have access to a tv plugger and promoter for radio. The choice to go 80s is wise it will appeal to the Scissor Sisters, ABBA and radio 2 80's loving audience. Good choice to also have the same age as him dancers! It's a grower but catchy already and likely what I will hammer until the album is released with probably a even stronger single. He does melancholy so well. 8/10 for the single for me for now.

    Lexicon is heavily under-rated. Amazing album. Can't wait for WY9
  8. Back in 2020, I bought ten Confetti albums to ship to fans around the world who couldn't buy signed copies. For so many reasons I just didn't get round to selling them. They've been in storage for years and I just found them! I am selling them for £19.99 each plus P and P if anyone wants to PM me. You will see they are going for £40 ish on Ebay. No interest in doing that. I just want rid. Most are signed by all 4, but there's a few where Jesy hasn't signed I think. All sealed. Genuine. Can show proof of where I purchased from too if anyone's too bothered. If this isn't allowed on here, so sorry please delete. I don't have an amazon or Ebay account so can't sell on there.
  9. Am i alone being annoyed at this Got my Crystal blues Skies edition standard one. Firstly yah Taylor for keeping doing CD Jewel cases - so many artists have stopped! Yah However the tracklist at the back is UNREADABLE i cant read a damn thing it should be white font writing on the dark blueish background! so annoying.
  10. Awwww it's so good to have them back. They somewhat feel they are back against their will lol I wish they had Steps' enthusiasm, energy and future plans. I had been hopeful of new music - even a new single would have been amazing. Properly promoted it could have done well. I would love the tour to be filmed but going by 19 management's past and how they served SC7 last time and Spice Girls with their mammoth stadium shows i doubt it. I really wanted some vinyl re-issues and boxsets but they just can't be bothered. Could have been a nice bit of extra for the band. I'm really annoyed at them tbh (19 not the members of the band)
  11. Love this. So many amazing singles. I like them all. 1. Fight For This Love 2. Parachute 3. Call My Name 4. Promise This 5. Under The Sun 6. Crazy Stupid Love 7. I Dont Care 8. 3 Words 9. Love Made Me Do It 10. Heartbreaker 11. Only Human 12. The Flood

    So very sad about Sarah Harding still today. As a Alouder, the news hit me quite hard yesterday, i was shocked by just how hard i found it to accept. It's difficult to imagine that perhaps someone you never met, who never knew you, could affect you so very much. I've spent the best part of the last twenty years following Sarah and Girls Aloud journey and career, I've been there for every up and down and in the end it was Sarah's ridiculous vibrant zest for life, personality and likeability that charmed me into a constant supporter and fan. Thinking today of Sarah's family, friends, fans and bandmates.
  13. Very sad about Sarah. I bought the signed version in March! and shockingly only began properly reading it about two weeks ago. I read a few pages each night before going to bed! I was due to finish it today or tomorrow, how ironic! I don't quite have the words to be honest. Completely devastated. Girls Aloud has been twenty years of my life! Even though I didn't know Sarah, you felt like you did as I followed and supported them for that long.
  14. No.3, abit annoyed, where did Dave come from, 200 less sales and it would have been worse NO.4! But he's still No.1 on Physical CD sales, Downloads and Purchased albums No.4 on Vinyl No.2 in Scotland but not even top 100 on streaming! Appealing to an older audience this isn't surprising. Either way i think 11,300 sales in this day and age is a fantastic result. His label will be fine with it i assume. Well done Will, this isn't the peak of his career almost 20 years on, to still be up there is fab. Critic and reviews online for it have been good to be fair.
  15. Lexicon told sales stand at 39k! Which is alright for an independent label I guess. Either way he'll sell 10k by tomorrow :cheer: so I am sure his record label will be happy with that. I have a feeling he won't be no.1 thanks to disgusting tactics from Billie, however I do want him to be at least No.2 :cry: He's already talking of another studio album next year to celebrate twenty years and 2 books so lots to look forward to! I've bought a bundle, reduced bargain CD on Amazon, another bundle, a copy from the supermarket, and a personalised CD from banquet. I am now angry at myself for not buying the personalised vinyl, damn!
  16. Getting my copy today, exciting! The Will Young official store shipped mine late!

    I know Will doesn't like cashing in like some artists (ahem Take That :D ) but i would love all the albums to be released on Vinyl, that would be fab. A singles boxset or albums boxset would be fab but i dont know if it'd be possible with too many labels involved. Very excited for the new album, amazing as always Mr Young. I've been following and supporting for nearly 20 years now since i was just 14! so go Will :w00t: I'm sure we've got another No.1 album in the bag!
  19. No.1 in UK & Ireland is an amazing result, way more than expected. well done Sarah and Alouders. Is the record company in on all this....it's the only WWTNS song that's £0.59! :) I'll Stand By You and this carry another new meaning now...
  20. No.1 is incredible, I wasn't even expecting Top 40 to be honest! This is amazing, well done fans. I've been supporting Girls Aloud for TWENTY years. I am a Alouder through and through. Sarah's sad news is very sad, especially so close to the anniversary. I am so glad all the girls have finally settled all their petty rifts and come together, and the news of a private reunion is music to my ears.
  21. Whoah! :cheer: Can't wait to hear this. She's been recording solo songs endlessly since the Girls Aloud split so I assume this is an old song. I'll be getting it for sure, I'd love an album even more. The support for Sarah right now is :wub: sad and emotional at the same time too.
  22. ANOTHER ep? FFS.

    Great! WAsn't expecting a third single but yah. Such a great album but a really confused release strategy...I physically HATE the All The Songs video. Also, no single covers for the first two singles but we have one for Forever yah! Christmas Time was a good idea but I'd have preferred a uptempo Xmas song from Will. All The Songs first single with the video concept of My Love Second single Ground Running to launch the album with an awesome vid with backup dancers Third single Scars for me. But I get the love for Forever too...
