Thank you :)

WOW. I actually gasped out loud when i saw this. I think he's crazy. There's people out there wanting to be big and they'd love to be in his position. One Direction has turned out to be a perfect worldwide brand. The minute Liam put his hand on the picture i figured it out. This is how i think it all went. 1. 1D split in to writing teams to write for 'Four'. Zayn writes with Naughty Boy. The song he puts there is rejected for 1D. He is not happy. 2. Simon Cowell does a weird interview a few weeks back - welcoming all members to be able to do things outside the band - quite random? 3. Announced that Zayn's song will be on the new Naughty Boy album on his own...abit weird. 4. Zayn walks out half way during concert. Cheating claims. Stress? Leaves world wide tour half way. Tantrum. Shockingly not one 1D member tweets any support for him. Decides to leave. They try to stop him to no avail. Announcement. I do think he also realises that if the band splits whenever it does...he'd go on to basically nothing being one of the least known (well after Louis and Liam of course ha ha) this way he gets this big deal. Stress, public break, relax yeah right - i predict debut single end of this year :) I've always said even if the most useless member of a band leaves (Ahem like Howard Donald or Jason Orange) it affects the band no matter what. There is still appeal for 1D, i doubt they'd flop but it will have a decline no matter what. No matter who leaves it affects the brand. Wern't they gonna get a big pay day if they stay together a number of years? The others will be pissed. The first one to go solo always does the best...! Can you imagine the big comeback in a few years time world wide with Zayn (Take That Progress Level x 100) bet they can :P that's the backup. Now Cue 1D to release Spice Girls' 'Forever'

Hang on does it say in the title new repackaged CD of Best May 4? Is this a lie or true?

Liked both of Alexandra's albums especially Overcome but this just shows she is doing it on her own. Sorry but it's a poor single,no real chorus, the wrong sound, poor artwork etc etc. What a shame. She is very talented..

WOW! WOW! :D Well isn't this exciting. Album No. 7 - unbelievable that we are even getting this a whole 13 years later Mr Young is still in the music biz despite those who said he wouldn't have a career longer than six months. I have to be honest, not too keen on the title or the artwork but i am sure it may grow on me. I'd prefer just 'Proof' to be honest as the album cover and it's abit of a random pose - thats all...! It's ALOT sooner than i was expecting we normally get the album in Q4 August time...also then you take advantage of a higher sales period so it may sell less. I hope we get some boxsets Universal do them for nearly all their artists. Either way. Can't wait for the album and the single premiere. I'm sure it'll be good.

I think it is looking likely she'll be dropped by Universal. The album only sold 60,000 apparently. The label will base it on the fact if they made a profit on the campaign or not. I think that'll be touch and go. 1.2 No.1 singles, but that didn't translate into album sales 2. She spent nearly two and a bit years working on this new record so the writing costs will be higher 3. I can't see Only Human the single charting very highly at all. The first sign of Cheryl dropped was her husband criticising the management/record company publicly. Then articles about her fighting for 'artistic freedom'. Normally no one or a relative slags off the management or record company unless you're no longer with them sorta how i predicted it with James Arthur slagging off his team's artwork choices. It's not even a 100% she will do X Factor this year. She's loaded though and can easily afford some self funded albums for us! :w00t:

WOW. NOW THIS IS EXCITING!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: They must want it to go to radio early April and he'll release in June again with the album possibly in July-August last year and another single push at Xmas. I personally think he should do the album at Xmas. Maximise sales...!

Age is not relevant :mellow: Not a Madonna fan personally, i liked Hung Up and the American Life campaign was class but nothing since. Madonna sells because she is a big name, constantly changes image to keep people interested, knows how to generate attention and news paper cuttings it all helps. The BRIT award thing will have helped her...despite it being an accident. She must have massed up a number of fans all these years also, and people will always have time to see what she is doing however i do think she has been bigger at other points of her career. Hard Candy did damage to her career.

Sales are next to nothing and Rebecca is flopping at No.6. Very disappointed. <_< She'll be lucky to be Top 10 at this rate. I thought she'd easily be No.2 selling 20k at the end of the week.I fear she'll be dropped now.I can't see the album sticking around either. The album has to do 100k total minimum. I know she signed a two album extension record deal recently, but that means nothing if the previous record flops.

Big Rebecca Ferguson fan here, her first two albums were just FAB :yahoo: However... 4,000 sold on Day 1 is awful. She'll do about 10-12k for the week and even though it is Top 5 she'll probably end up at No.6. I was expecting her to be comfortably sitting at No.2 with at least 10-20k for the first day. She really should have delayed this release until the end of the year as per the rest of the X Factor acts. Thats the key if you want to shift albums sadly. Olly, Ella and 1D benefit from this last year a lot. They wouldn't have the total sales they have. :w00t: .. A shame, as she pulled off the covers album idea well :arrr:

Also it's really petty and stupid, does it really cost her anything to keep following her for FFS. It's not like she's inviting her to her house or something she follows thousands of fans she wouldn't even notice the tweets. It's her way of sending a clear message. It doesn't achieve anything though Pretty sad really considering Nadine has recently said some nice things about Cheryl and even tweeted her and Kimberley congrats on her baby and marriage. I like how Nadine has followed tradition of what Kim and Cheryl did to Nadine when she got engaged and didn't contact her and done the same to kimberley...

I think his album will sell about 600k overall this time which is enough. Ridiculously popular. He'll boast a No.1 album thats all people will remember. His sales are low but low for everyone. Even 1D lost 90k sales in comparison to last year.

Oh i was expecting much more sales from Olly. But sales are down for everyone. So i shall predict by the end of the week 75k? Wow 1D down to 16.6k? I would expect them to do about 50k?

Take That's only number 1 due to pre-orders. Band Aid is still outselling TT on iTunes. I am impressed however they have even managed to hold up a fight at such a big song. Sales must be good! It really doesn't matter. The TT album is a sure fire no.1 next week. Thats all that kinda matters to them and live sales. Oh and yah for Olly. I wonder what decline 1D is down to. Lets be honest everyone is just streaming now albums. It's just super fans, people who havent moved on with the digital age and people buying for presents now buying. Album sales will be back to 8,000 for a No.1 in Q1. ha . EDIT just seen above post. So thats second week for Band Aid confirmed. Still good to be even near for TT.

Despite how up herself Cheryl has acted regarding the whole Nadine thing i take no pleasure in her flopping. I actually bought the deluxe bosxet so maybe i am pissed at her but thats it. Her album is flopping there is no getting over that. To sell just 29k in two weeks with the exposure she has had with 2 no.1 singles under her belt ain't good at ALL. I am actually abit concerned for her record deal you have to go at least platinum these days to be profitable. I feel she was given a lifeline with A Million Lights only shifting 100k, any other artist and they would have been dropped. She really needs do at least 200k-300k by the end of this campaign. I really thought she'd do really really well considering both her singles literally flew to No.1. Cheryl hasn't looked as happy as she did 2 weeks ago on the XF - she is clearly concerned about her album sales. I really thought XF would get her back up to her Album 1 and 2 sales but i guess i was wrong. I mean lets be honest she only agreed to go on XF because she knows how much it helped her before. I know Call My Name managed to get to No.1 but the album sold very poorly, she didn't even go platinum. I cant see her being one of the big XMas sales sellers at the moment. Oh and considering how badly she is selling Nadine and Sarah have NO chance with their new albums next year sadly. I mean even with a third single even if it went No.1 i cant see how that could drastically help the sales she already has two number 1 one's on there and people still dont want it.

Kimberley has always spoken quite well of Nadine until her book where she spoke a lot more truthfully. I can't see Kimberley ever saying anything like what Cheryl said. I can't see her following suit Cheryl and Nicola and unfollowing Nadine on twitter. I know its only twitter, but you have to go to her account and click Unfollow! It takes some effort doing so you must be riled if you go to her page to do it for example. I'm glad Cheryl's album is flopping could stand to be taken down a peg or two after what she said about Nadine so care freely in attitude without a thought when she was getting her 2nd no.1 single this year and breaking that record. The thing is it's sad it ended like that. I mean they all had a chance with this reunion to let all the old stuff go and end it on a high properly as friends. They did make amends and then something must have happened on tour mid-way. At the start of the tour they were all hugging etc but by the end of the tour Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola wouldn't even make eye contact with Nadine. It's kind of insane. Then the split drama. Has any band ever fell out over something stupid like that. Why weren't management more competent and informed Nadine of the decision a week or two ago or held a big 'What happens next' meeting. Despite what Kimerberley and Cheryl like to imply i don't think there was an intention to split afterwards at the start. But when Beautiful flopped i think it became clear that any future music not backed by CIN would under perform too so thats when they made the decision. They wanted to keep it open incase things went REALLY well so they could continue cash in, things went well just not Take that well. Maybe those three just made the decision and let Sarah know. Probably told one of management to tell Nadine and then no one did!? Meeting or no meeting four people were happy for the band to split even if Sarah didn't want to the decision was the same the majority wanted it to end. I think not wanting to work with Nadine any more was part of the decision and lets just come here Cheryl knows its in her best interest to be a solo artist right now! Do you think Cheryl and co could have tried to get back at Nadine for what she did to them i.e hire a band manger without telling them, hold them to ransom to secure a solo deal etc. Could have been a sneaky 'Tweedy' type thing to do. They publicly kept saying 'we'll see after the tour' which might have lead Nadine on bit. I don't think Nadine and the others were even talking backstage near the end of the tour. She probably just kept herself to herself and went home and came to the next one. So everyone's to blame bit. They make me quite angry really, it is us the fans that gave them their success and i really all the way believed if any band would end as 'friends' and on a 'high' unlike other bands it was them but they became stupid and did exactly that. No communication what do you expect. Kimberley, Cheryl and Nicola's friendship is to blame bit. It's nice etc. but they have become like a gang. I mean why has Nadine fallen out with all 3 of them!? Why is not just one for example. Those 3 stick together. At least all is good between Sarah and Nadine as we know she visited Nadine with her baby :w00t: Even now Nadine could invited all the girls round or something, or visited Kimberley or something but these people are so s**t and up themselves there's no doing anything.

Cheryl deluxe boxset

I think i speak for everyone when i say COME ON CHERYL!!!!!!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Clearly, Tesco held the digital rights for four years as per the oriignal deal surely or either that as Tesco know their is no real monetary value in the album they've given her permission to put it up on Spotify and iTunes despite their original exclusivity agreement. I find it sad reading about how it all end. How stupid though...who could have predicted that they would have fell out whether to split or not but really a lack of communication for a bad that seemingly got on great. It's sad to end a ten year career like that. I don't know who to believe to be honest... What is even sadder is Nicola unfollowing Nadine on twitter that to be honest shows how bad things are. I can't believe she didn't even say goodbye to them. Not only that but to boast about in an interview is quite malicious. I mean come on Nadine how could not have known? They were crying every night! How could you 6 months without even discussing it with each other? I thought they were the exception but obviously not. I am actually fed up even trying to make myself all is well when its so obviously not and this stupid petty girls despite a chance to end on a high and as friends with the reunion did the same thing again. Am i the only one that thinks Nadine would totally rock Shake It Off? I wish Xenomenia do a song like that for her.

Ella sales should have been abit higher. But still No.1 album is definite. It's ridiculous the Ed Shreean nonsense, he's vile IMO. Cant believe he keeps switching places on iTunes. Solution to Ella to get her sorted. 'Empire' XF performance in a few weeks 'Missed' X Factor final

I still havent forgiven her for unfollowing Nadine.

It was instant for me. It's brilliant full stop. Amazing video. Relates to her perfectly pulls it off. Potential 5th No.1 single. XF performance will be brilliant. Like it alot one of her best singles.

WOW at the Sats flopping. :o :o :o :o It's a good album...! Lots of hits well worth it. All the singles were popular. I thought they'd be No.2 with the fan pre orders as well. Sadly i think this spells the end of the Sats. If you cannot sell the GH then you really are doomed...! I can see a Wanted esque announcement soon.

For anyone interested. Janet Devlin just tweeted she is at No.18..
