Great artwork can't believe we finally got 4 singles from an album I like it now i hated this song before. I like the video too - too much trolley dancing and less scenes in the supermarket but good stuff.

But then again i'm sure Amazon is the biggest physical CD seller now surely, its' bigger than Play.com and stuff. I think Cheryl's really suffered with this deluxe set thing. No one wants to pay £11.99 when they know its going to get reduced later on so early on. If she was £8.99 and that was the only copy in exposure to people she'd have had better sales. The thing is the cheaper version is lost in charts with less exposure and the more expensive version is up on iTunes and people who would have bought it arent. In regards to Bieber, teenage girls would pay anything for their fave pop group/act. It's how Westlife, JLS, The Wanted have got away with number 1's despite releasing sub-standard stuff. The Club is Alive? anyone... I want Cheryl to get the number 1, but what will be most important will be where she is next week. If she sticks around that mark then she's on to a winner and once people hear Under The Sun i think she's going to sell much more...if she drops like Alexandra then i'd be worried. To Bieber this is just one of millions of markets but to Cheryl and her fans this is her home market and we want her to get the number 1. i still think the Deluxe version is POINTLESS apart from making extra money from mega fans. Her boxset is the best buy because you get the album and an extra CD with lots of more songs than the deluxe so thats the best buy for me. She's a star in the making...i think she's gonna have a long solo career.

Cheryl had a mega signing today at Newcastle right...even if all those people did not get to go the signing i persume some ended up buying the album anyway... itunes will push her over 10k for day one. i think mids tommorrow will show her at 18k-22k at number 2 with bieber at 24-28k. He's beating her on all online sites right now. BLAME TEENAGE GIRLS they are insane, they have made 1D insanely huge and let The wanted and JLS get away with releasing substandard music still going to number 1. It's the teenage girls that have done this again. 9k for her for day one ain't great. By a general estimate you always do MAXIMUM four times the tuesday figure... so last week she sold 40k day one, so 4x40 = 160k, so she did 152k She won't be able to push more than 40k this week...with 9k day one. Oh why didn't she just release later in the year like September and the aloud and Cheryl record could have sold together. I know the reunion but this is awful sales for her... Bieber....go away! this is not the states - this is just another market to him, to cheryl and fans this is home. I hope he doesn't get it. the album market is so awful right now, probably better to sell a few weeks later. I don't think the 11.99 deluxe thing is helping her, people see that and go i'll buy it when it's reduced. they where probably banking on mega fans buying it three times but it was poor choice i've thought it since also it makes her album seem less good with more filler added in. her standard album is much better. People dont look arounf for the 8.99 version or presume there isn't one and voila she's lost a sale. She'd be lucky to do 50k in the week she'll do 40 summit i think. Not great for cheryl... I want another number 1 album!

Sorry if this didnt deserve a new topic, but WOW!!!! Cheryl has finally spoken about the Nadine rift. I am glad she's finally done this. I would've have preferred her saying it all three years ago but maybe their egoes where flying! She's not gonna discuss those text messages, smart Cheryl. They are gonna keep that private. I disagree Nadine was painted as the villan not Cheryl and it had a negative impact on her career.I'm glad they've worked things out, and as i said when Cheryl started this campaign i much prefer this Cheryl. More honest and more open. Was it Hillary!? She's spoken about everything unspoken about before...Ashley..Simon..Xfactor USA..Nadine! Shocking! I'm really impressed by Cheryl. This has all made me so happy would have been nicer for her to do it when Insatiable came out, but oh well! this is good - now we can focus on music and the reunion. Well done Cheryl and Nadine :)http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrit...s-girls-887429 Isn't it nice the girls all being so nice together again! Nicola, Kim, and Cheryl tweeted Nadine thats brilliant. replied to Cheryl. But probably the Nicola and Kim tweets got lost in all everyone elses. Sarah was getting some TESCO flowers the day before Nadine's birthday...i wonder if they where for Nadine? http://www.imagebam.com/image/601bad196430241

This is gonna rock. Cannot wait for the DVD.

Nadine's bar has been open for three years now, not one of the girls have gone to it despite being in LA several times since. This is a mutual fault of their own. Kimberley's not as nice person as i thought, Nadine tweeted her and she tweeted back every celeb possible and RTed them but didn't even reply to Nadine's tweet. Cheryl tweeted how she's so proud of her girls. Then she talked about Nicola and Kimberley and thats it. No mention of Nadine despite her being on twitter. No mention of Sarah either. Damn Cheryl, maybe you three should just start your own Sugababes. It's shameful on all their part, i admit Nadine's never come out to support any of them in their solo projects in however many years but they haven't for Nadine either. Nadine claims that she sent messages to Cheryl and got no reply. Nadine also claimed that when she got engaged not one of them apart from Nicola rang her up to say congrats. I hate to admit it but these aren't the five down to earth girls that started out in 2002. Egoes have formed and i wouldn't expect this behaviour from them. Everything from Nadine being in London to not being at Promise This at X Factor speaks of a feud. I just hate how Cheryl gets away interview after interview never having to clear up the rumours or anything. This has damaged Nadine's reputation in the UK and if Cheryl had just defended them at the start or one of them to take the high road and ring each other they would have all patched up buy now. Cheryl's tweeted her X Factor contestants much the same, they claim to never hear from her despite sending her messages. She has her face's and sticks to them and Cher highlighted that Cheryl was only nice was cameras where there. Naidne's ego got the best of her and she started saying they where all on holidays and she was recording...which is not true, she called herself the lead singer etc etc - i hate what they've become and they may reconcile for this reunion but if they've become this way after three-four years i dread to think after the next break. I'm not best impressed with the girls. I would tell them to their faces if i knew them.

It's amazing that for the first time in a few albums Will is releasing 4 singles he hasn't ever done that i think in his debut,i think the first three was just amazing. I just have complete and utter praise for Hearts on Fire reminds me of 'On A Night Like This' by Kylie,it's quite epic and would get quite abit attention. Happy Now has such a cheerful chorus and dramatic opening i think it's also catchy. Silent Valentine is a dark and impactful love song that would get attention from anyone. Lie Next To Me has really warmed to me, it's like a perfect pop song like Who Am I and that did well for Will. I Just Want a Lover just seems a 4 minute chant with the same beat playing in the background. It just doesn't stand out. In fact i make a prediction it will flop and go unnoticed. The sad thing will be this will mean the record company would do a 4th single again, and in such an amazing album. Runaway isn't very high on my pecking order either, but it's much better than this. Will came out with a stellar album, and much like Rebecca Ferguson the A&R are awful at choosing singles. Will's first three have been good and i know it's not Will's fault as he said he'd leave it to the record label to choose singles. The only way it can be redeemed is by a utterly fantastic music video, but it just doesn't have enough punch to get noticed. A shame really i thought this was a oerfect campaign from Will, and i was buzzing when i heard he was doing a 4th single. The point is he's been stuck at the 440k-480k album sales mark for months now. He needs to pass 500k, well it'd be nice. You need a in your face single and the 4 songs i mentioned are perfect. My instict right now says go with Lie Next To Me...but this is just! :(

Sorry guys but i could see the songs i just mentioned being big hits and a good mark in his discography also helping him achieve the 500k mark. AWFUL choice. I cannot say any more. Worst single he's ever going to release. Disappointed in that choice, i wouldnt even want it as a B Side Why release THAT when you can release the sophisticated dance anthem Hearts On Fire, or the cheerful Happy Now or even the heart warming Silent Valentine. Hate it!

Sorry awful choice, hate it. Nothing to do with its sentiment but i just think there's nothing there and its totally boring. They may as well not waste their money it'll 100% flop Silent valentine, Happy Now or Hearts on Fire would have gone down as one of his best songs ever. How ridiculous! I am totally against this, he has released 3 perfect singles before it though. Even when i first heard it i wanted it OFF that album, it ruins a otherwise perfect album.

When i heard Will was writing i thought it was a piece of fiction. But this is even better. Finally Will can be honest and frank about his treatment by Cowell and everything else. Cannot wait to buy this :)

No one seems to mention Happy Now that song is under-rated! :w00t: Also Hearts on Fire and Silent Valentine would do.

Nadine's single has sold over 20,000 copies.. She sold 11k first week. 5k the following week and then 2k the week after, and 1k the final week in the chart. 100% It's sold 20,000 i'd imagine a year a bit later it's probably 22,000 realistically. Nicola's single has 100% sold 50,000 copies she confirmed this in a interview with Digital Spy Nicola's Lucky Day has sold 7k first week. I think lets assume she's done 8k. Nicola's Yo-yo didn't do too well, total sales are probably about 3,000 mainly thanks to the Universal CD by fans. I read some that Nicola sold 8k albums week 1, and that her total sold so far was 13k Nadine's album has done 10,000. She sold 5k first week and then 2k, 1k etc and must have added at least the 1000 since. Please could update these!!!!! :w00t:

1. Amazing voice 2. The greatest songs - original, sincere and moving. 3. Top notch albums. Never has he had a bad album or single 4. Amazing music videos! the best storylines that really stick. All time Love, LRN, Who Am I, Let It Go, Losing Myself stick out here 5. Great concerts - all the concerts Will done are amazing 6. Amazing LIVE performances. Never no miming, and great notes 7. Confidence that you are buying into a multi talented singer who can sing from any era, sing with sincerity and convey emotion amazingly. 8. Music that will fit every mood. Truly every song Will's ever done has been not short of amazing.

Amazing video! :cheer: Well done Will. As usual as per everything in this campaign - all finer details polished to perfection, sophisticated, classy and above anything else in his genre. Great single choice, cant deny i wouldnt have liked others but this is utterly brilliant. Another great video from a totally stellar album that i like even more now. I'd love a 4th single but can understand if they didnt do no more. This album deserves 500k sales....hope this will sort that out.

Not only has it been 10 years since Will won Pop Idol, but also i've been a fan of Will now for 10 years! Whilst i always said Will deserved to win and i believed in him, it seemed to good to be true in some small way and i kind of felt he'd fade into obscurity and not be around long and song by song, album by album i was just so glad the music sold well so we got more. A small mention to 'Devoted' for me i know we've never seen eye to eye, i.e i'm banned but you really made being a Will fan fun - so much content thank you! And also the Will fans never from all the things i'm a fan of i think Will has the most kindest fans. So many people willing to help each other out, so many people sent me CDs and DVDs when it wasn't so easy for me to buy them and tv performances and stuff. I'm still amazed how much everyone's raised for charity by clubbing together. Truly amazing. There's been so many great things Will's done over the years and there's been a few things i haven't liked i have to admit, but the majority i look back and see six brilliant records, amazing videos, tours that are so much fun, performances that have never been anything less than sublime and always live and a singles collection that is to be proud of. Here's to another six albums, 10 years and becoming the next Elton John! ;) i.e long career, respected and still being around 40+ years on! :) I thought i'd reflect on my fave moments !? Winning the two brit awards, being crowed artist of all time twice, winning those NMA awards, performing on AI Leave Right Now Leave Right Now going number 1, Listening to the premiere of Changes, Friday's Child going Number 1 and staying top 2 for weeks and weeks Echoes hitting No.1, Jealousy going top 5 when no one expected that, Watching that Your Game video, Party at the Palace, Diana concert, Question time Hearing LRN for the first time, The FC arena tour WOW, Hearing All Time Love the first time, Henderson Presents, Bedlam, A Night With Will Young and listening to FNO for the first time. The low-s Frustration that Will wasn't being prioritsed by the label and Gareth being pushed over to wipe him out by Cowell. Hopes and Fears, Grace and Let It Go flopping in the singles charts The announcement that Keep On tour wasn't coming out on DVD The Hits only hitting Top 10, not going No.1, watching the Switch it On video for the first time thinking it reminded me of Robbie (not good). Not getting a Brit nomination this year. Oh yes, Go Will :) Still enjoy every single song even today. Here's to another 10 years in this Bizz.

I wish i could say it means nothing,but it does to the record industry. Its the most coveted prize in the music industry in the UK. I honestly think Will would love to win Best Male, it would be a real accomplishment- it's tough but i can still see him winning it one day, but he upped his game so much with this new album i think it was a perfect time. It's nice they've put him on the Brits CD. Personally think he was defintely 6th in the voting for the Brits. The thing that makes me feel better, is that the Brits panel dont sit on a table and go who shall we nominate/snub They all vote annoymously ticking off who they want to nominate/win and the five most ticked become the nominees. Then they dont do a new ballot after the nominations apparently, the same vote is used to reveal the winner - it's the person with the most first place rankings. That to me leads to a definite win for Ed Sheeran. That is why the most hyped person usually wins. I think a new rule of combined public and panel voting would lead to better winners. Apart from Will changing his musical style there is not much motivation nominating someone who has been around for ten years doing very well. They did nominate him 5 times for Best Male and was beaten by others, so they dont hate him. But the longer your career goes on, you will never have the hype at your time of debut. I think for Will to win he'd have to have a huge year - No.1 single and album, million selling album, a song that really breaks out every where including radio 1, and alots of publicity and i think with the right song this is going to happen maybe on the next album or the one after that. I still dont think it means nothing :( but Will is course for a double platinum album which went to No.1, and a top 5 single that has done really well. I don't think Will has anything to worry about - this would be the 'cherry on the cake'.

I wanted Happy Now, Hearts on Fire or Silent Valentine but Losing Myself is perfect.

Also if it's not too much trouble Rachel stevens Negoiate with love Rachel stevens So Good Rachel stevens I Said Never Again Kim & aggro santos - Like U Like Thank you so much

Could you please tell me how many plays for Nadine Insatiable Nicola roberts beat of my drum Nicola roberts lucky day Nicola Roberts yo-yo thanks in advance

I've calmed down abit now! Phew, havent felt that angry in a while. I'm sure he was 6th, and i know no one sat down and said lets not nominate Will this year, it was more of the case that when ballots where sent out to thousands of members more people ticked those other names. Without anything personal to James Morrison, i can understand the inclusion of everyone else but him on that least. He was below par Will hype wise and sales wise, Jealousy was iconic and huge. The dream would have been Will performing, Best male nom, Best British album (i know a longshot) and British single. To sum up - a Number 1 album, 400k sold, Jealousy went Top 5, Jealousy No.1 Airplay hit with no end of career insight. Actually no reality contestants where nominated bar automatic nominations for Olly and One Direction due to high sales of their singles.

I am FUMING! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: I mean seriously what the f***! i don't often swear but what a load of nasty bast*rds! Ed Shreen i can understand James Blake OK i get it Noel yeah they Like him whatever Professor Green can sorta understand James Morrison i mean WTF!? seriously. He's not had a great year, sold less than Will, did a duet with Jessie J that went unnoticed. No.1 album yeah yeah, everyone's got those - Mr Young's got 3 :puke2: I'm fuming he's not performing,i'm fuming he cannot win now, and i'm even more f***ing fuming he's not nominated. Will have to wait wait 2-3 years for Will to do a studio album? and get nominated? and then Robbie williams will be there. Brits you've never aknowledged him. It was always the public. He had such a huge year at the time of Leave Right Now and he didnt win and wasn't allowed to perform. Other artists who are 'cool' and 'in' have semi alright years and are welcomed tothe stage. Brits oh how you never change.I really thought you'd see Will's talent this year after a great year this year with Echoes and Jealousy.

Stronger is one of my all time fave Will songs or as i like to call it 'Ode to Cowell' In the words of Will ''You won first place but you take second best'' and ''It only makes me Stronger When you say i cant do it I work that bit harder when you say its not within my grip The barriers, i'll break em down I'll prove myself, i'll stick around I'll get through all this somehow Nothings unreachable'' Cannot believe he's still obsessed over Gareth losing! thats sad, i mean he was more of a Westlife boyband type manager then so Gareth was perfect for him. But 10 years on, after all the talented contestants apart from Will who sing amazingly like Leona Lewis Alexandra Burke, Susan Boyle etc have gone by, can he honestly hole-heartedly say that Gareth was the best contestant and the most deserving winner? I loved Nicky and Foxy's blatant bias that they tried hiding - it was obvious they wanted Willl. I even liked how Foxy said after one of Gareths performances 'You can't really criticise your performance' because he must not have liked it, thats a rarity on talent show final. Honestly though, Will won because on the 3 songs he more than outsthone and outsang Gareth. It also restored my faith in the British public, they made the right call they say through the semi-talented teen bopper and realized that the more talented contestant should win, it was a nice surprise i think one of the best twists to a talent show, everyone sort of wanted it - but didn't think it could happen because of Gareths insane hype, but it was so satisfying. I'm sure Pete was hinting 'Everyone says they know who is going to win this competition, i say you don't know, it is so close - vote''. I actually honestly think that Gareth didn't even deserve 2nd place. Zoe and Hayley where much more talented than Gareth and deserved to be higher, i'd have preferre Zoe coming 2nd i've always said that, and then Hayley 3rd, Gareth 4th, and then Darius afterwards. Gareth wasn't the best singer on that competition, and that was obvious he's not untalented, he sing better than some boyband members i have seen, but not a patch on Will. Can you imagine how cringeworthy the Gareth montage on X Factor would be with Cowell's company in charge of producing the show, they'd make it over the top and do so many bottom 2/judges vote things to get rid of Will. Cowell would of tried anything. I do think perhaps Cowell has been misinterpreted, i don't think he said that he hates Will - he's praised him a few times on Richard and Judy, he let him be Cheryl's guest judge, he let him on to do 'Grace' and admitted to Holly on Xtra Factor he was excited to let him on, he seemed to enjoy the preformance, he even when WIll finished rushed up to clap Will and seemed 'proud'- even on World Idol LMF he praised Will for doing it his way, and for what he even admitted was a great album. I think Cowell may have been talking about the fact that even today they havent mended paths, maybe he wants Will to start the healing process!? He must not like that Will stood up to say he wasn't gonna do Suspicious Minds, Will beat his preferred winner, Leave Right Now finished the career of his preferred winner when it showed the public the comparison between the two. Cowell tried everything. Gareth got the same winners treatment, not very fair me thinks. There's a point to voting on this show isn't there? I don't think Gareth's fully to blame i mean he wanted to Win, he got shortcuts and help as he was blatantly bad a few weeks but was still praised,he got good slots everytime.

^^^ wow never seen that before! Thanks! :yahoo:

Full stop the point of the whole show is VOICE. Will.i.am cannot sing. Even cheryl was better here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0WZ-TYhzKc Will young defines VOICE. He has talent show experience. Will even said he wanted it, so it's not like Will turned it down. Think Will doesn't like X Factor so he considered The Voice because he is all about that. I'm pissed really, it's all about homegrown talent and Will is one of the best. The USA chucked off the brit we sent - Cheryl. Why should we be so welcoming time and time again Will.i.am should not be on this panel, Will should. I'm still pissed as you can imagine! Don't think its gonna do anything for Will's career either way, this show won't get X Factor ratings it'll do alright thats it.
