Will Programmes Scans
Get what you mean everyone! :wub: But...some of them aren't on ebay Echoes tour, The Hits tour and Exeter. The others are managed to find. Anyone know where the above mentioned can be bought!? Why doesn't will do an online web store like he use to anymore to sell the merchandise, what can they lose! I've never been to a Will tour and i'll never be able to go but i really like watching the concerts at home on DVD with the programme in my hand (how sad) it's a shame they do this. I do think however £10 for a programme is too much, about half that would be fine. Any one wanting to sell any of their programmes to me!? I can do paypal.

The Voice
I don't intend on watching the show in the same way i was intending to now. I'll still watch just flip through it. I was really fuming when i found out Will had not been given over this Script dude. Whatever! :angry: Oh well, they'll come crawling back when it flops and the possibility of will young becoming a judge on X Factor remains. ITV would have snubbed him if he had taken it, i think he can now remain like this but it's only a matter of time till he gets such a role. I think the real reason is Tom Jones will bring the older audience in. Will i am the cool lot. Jessie J the chart lovers. So they where missing a rock element. So either Tom or Will and i think they wanted one legend on there so that made that decision. I don't get why Will.i.am is there, apart from all the Cheryl work he's done, i find him untolerable.

Top 100 Singles/Albums + Compilations
Flipping heck. The Sats down to 53! That is CRAZY. The perception was they had been accepted as a major pop act this year. That's awful sales. I'm stunned. Cher, Matt and 1D are doing well so far all still Top 40. Rebecca can join them next week. Last year's X Factor cop doing well! Thought N Dubz album would do a little better thanks to Tulisa and WOW Kelly Rowland is only 56! thats embarassing for her on X Factor tonight, but she is performing so it should help.

Is it wrong that i've totally warmed to Olly now!? Liking his single and albums. He has some good singles, i would even watch his tour DVD. Didn't think i'd say that a year ago. The Saturdays too. I find JLS tolerable now! even One Direction..whats wrong with me! (Still thinks Gary Barlow is over-rated ;) )

Album Chart runs.
Oh my 261k! brilliant GO WILL. This album is selling brilliantly, small amounts but consistently. The saturdays entered the chart this week at 23 with 18,000 sales Will is in his 14th week in the charts and is at 25, with 17,000 sales! Wow the comparison. A shame Come on wasn't higher, i was thinking Number 1 even but oh well. Seems X Factor ain't gonna have him on, no wonder he did Strictly. Roll on sales thanks to christmas, tour and 3rd single YAH!

Tesco selling Insatiable for £2
Nadine said Tesco ordered enough for it to go platinum i.e 300k Send back! surely a retailer cannot do that, otherwise there would be no sales like HMV selling off singles for 20p etc!! Maybe the deal was they could return a specific number and would be stuck with a specific number There's no way this album has sold anything more than 14k, but it will have sold at least 10k. Deserved so much more! :angry: So Nadine will probably lose out financially a bit if they sending so many out. Ask your sister from some Nadine goss! if she knows any more! :wub:

UK Albums
That was me ha ha :cheer: She sold 5.5k first week 2k in the second week. 1k the week after. 10,000 it has 100% sold. No way it's less than that. 3k was a generous estimate for what it has sold all this year as Tesco has had it sale online, on ebay and in stores. 13k i think is about right. Total sales are anything from 10k-14k i think.

JLS - 3rd Album Jukebox// Singles
Listening to this album right now, much better than their last poor effort :( (Outta This World) Their debut was mega impressive! :yahoo: but their second was very disappointing. This has some good stuff on - Take A Chance is one of their best songs ever. Their 3rd single, is very blah though.
-
COME ON - chart/airplay/twitter/snippets
Go Will :) Echoes up to No.26 this week, Come On airplay finally increasing. Think Will will defintely be platinum come Christmas. Still the christmas sales, tour sales and 3rd singles stuff sales coming 350k+ total easy. Go Will :) so deserved, such a great album. I've championed Come On as a single from the minute i heard the album. One of my fave Will songs ever.

Top 100 Singles/Albums + Compilations
It's not as easy to manipulate the charts with X Factor performances is it!! I'm sort of glad because i think it was getting very easy last year. The Wanted didn't get to No.2 with Lightening because they didn't deserve to with that song from many other pop acts would not even be Top 10. JLS No.2 album, at last - there albums aren't as good as some think. One Direction No.3 thats accurate for that song. No way No.1 worthy. and Rhianna talk about over-rated, number 1 again, it's alright nothing mega. Cher's album dropping 8 places! and The wanted WOW 9! it's not that easy being a pop act these days (unless you're Olly Murs ha ha). Feel abit sorry for The Saturdays i was certain that would become their number 1 single. Not expecting The Saturdays on the Radar album to do well next week, no.80 on amazon!!? a shame really. Am also expecting JLS album not sell as much as in the past. There 3rd single choice is very poor much perfer 'Teach Me How To Dance'' than ''Do you Feel what i feel''. On a positive go Mr Will Young, rising to 26. Alot of pop injustice's these days.

Nicola Roberts - Yo-Yo
Still believe Sticks and Stones is the right choice for a 3rd single, just it's Someone Like You vibe would sell albums. But this isn't that bad, it's just that if Lucky Day flopped that was more instant and catchy than this then this will too! Hope i'm wrong! :( I'd love a 2nd album but unless she does at least 100,000 albums in the UK that isn't gonna be with Universal records it might be on her own record label....!?

A petition to get Will Young to perform at the Brits
I've read all your points everyone and what you say makes a lot of sense! Think i may just leave it, think i was feeling angry last night, can't beleive i wrote those words!! Didn't realize it was such a strong category, i must have blocked Example, Ed Shreen, and Dappy out. I think Dappy would have to release a album to get nominated i heard that's the rule - a brand new studio album. It does seem that it may be Example, Ed Shreen, James Morrison, Noel Gallagher, and Will. I'm sad now i've realized the competition and there's no way they'd ever not give it to Noel they really like Oasis don't they! :( James Morrison yep i think you're right has less a chance then Will. It's Ed v Example v Noel. Will's fourth, oh crap! :( He's won my award for Best Male for the last ten years if that helps ha ha ! :) Yep think i'll leave the petition. If only there was more of a generic topic or board on the Brits website asking who everyone wanted to perform and we filled it with lots of Will. I think in hindsight a petition would reek of desperation, and even if he was asked to perform i wouldn't want Will to think he only got it coz of that petition. He's got a shot at best male and a better shot at performing then some years. He is liked coz they keep nominating him I heard this was the voting system The Brit voters vote for the category. They pick who they want nominated. So lets say 20 people choose Will, 60 choose Noel, 2 Matt, 3 Olly, 40 Example, 64 Ed and 18 James I'm 1 glad he's not up against Adele. The Brits would then announce the nominees as Will, Noel, Example, Ed and James. Then the Brits DO NOT vote again for the winner. They use the original votes to announce the winner a month later from the original ballots that where used to decide the nominations. So they would announce Ed the winner and that's it. So no one sits round like the Mercury going who shall we give to... it's got the most first place rankings and sadly i think Will or any reality is never gonna have that. I think Will's got a shot for Best single nomination for Jealousy coz airplay & sales have been good. I think for Best British Album nomination would mean alot. but a boyband will win that for sure. So i'm gonna calm down now and watch ''Come On'' again! :) for the umpteeth time. I really do think they should change the categories around every year. We always get to vote for Live act, breakthrough and single. How about they take those categories back to panels and we vote for Male, rock act and album this year. I think Will could win then!! I was concerned coz i know Will only does an album every year 2-3 years now and he's lucky he's not up against Robbie this year and i thought he had a shot. Oh well. Go Will! he really has had a great year and it was unexpected which was even nicer :)

A petition to get Will Young to perform at the Brits
I am awful at organising things like this. But it should read something like this. Dear Organisers of the Brits. Will Young for 10 years has proved brilliantly that he is a unique talent with a powerful voice fitting any era with eight million record sales and five top 2 studio albums it is bemusing why he hasn't been asked to perform at the Brit stage so far despite winning two Brit awards voted for by the public and receiving five nominations for Best British Male to date. We propose that this year to mark the tenth anniversary of his career, and to acknowledge the No.1 airplay hit of Jealousy and his Number 1 album Echoes a performance like he deserves. It's sad that in the moment acts have earned performance slots whilst Mr Young's talent has been ignored. We hope you put this right this year. There's no doubt Will should win Best Male this year, perform and get the acclaim he so rightly deserves. The Undersigned. On a personal note Male solo artist - no ROBBIE this year. If that f***ing James Morrison wins this year i am gonna be FUMING. He's very over-rated not as talented, and bait up himself, he pissed me off three years ago when he said he was happy to lose to anyone but Will Young. They let Paul Weller, Daniel Bedingfield, James Morrison, Anthony and the Johnsons and The Street win over Will. I think with NO ROBBIE this year Will's got a good shot this year. Bruno Mars is International and it's basically James Morrison v Will Young right?! All Will's got to do is have a massive year - so basically the album and single need to storm the charts this Christmas just before votes are cast. I really do ''Come On'' should help - great song, great video - a video by the way not many other solo artist (male) could carry off. I can see Olly Murs nominated, he'd never win though but i'd be really annoyed if they choose 'in the moment' acts again. Will was HUGE in the Leave Right Now year, and they didn't give him a slot. But Leona got it when she was massive. JLS performed Beat Again straight away. Poor girls aloud had to wait 6 years to get their chance, is Will do his? I'd be really annoyed if they ask Take That, The Wanted or JLS back it's really not fair. I want this petition to get notice from the Brit organisers in time when they announce who will get these slots when announced in January. Then we can forward it to Will's record company, management, press/media, and the Brits organisers hopefully realising that the demand is there. Oh and i know it could backfire, so before we proceed i'd like people's opinion - is this a good idea or bad.

COME ON - chart/airplay/twitter/snippets
OH MY!!!!!!! Music video..... *goosebumps* Too right, no one makes a music video like Will young. Without trying captured the emotion, meaning and beat of the song. Great video. I had a few other alternatives in mind but this will do. Replays so many more times than i already have. Annoyed the views aren't near what some other artists are getting. 8th week in the Top 15, not to be sneezed at. 210k sold? of the album and we've still got Christmas, and a 2nd and 3rd single to go as well as the tour? I think Will's gonna do 500k minimum. So happy for Will.

COME ON - chart/airplay/twitter/snippets
Has anyone ever performed in the same year on Strictly AND X Factor. I thought you could have either the one or the other. I do think Will deserves to perform Come On on the X Factor this year and gets a No.1 song with this song. I can't believe we live in the UK music scene where The Wanted and JLS can churn out any old crap and get to No.1 whilst this song can't do it. I'll be mega mad if Will doesn't get to perform at the Brits this year, gets nominated and wins. He's had a great year with the better than expected success of Jealousy and Echoes in terms of sales and airplay. I like Come on alot. It was my instant fave song on the entire album when i heard it, it's for me ranked across one of the best things will has EVER done from his career, and me liking everything since day one thats a big statement. Hope Will performs at the Brits with Come on with a combination of the lights from the special and the dancers from Strictly and belts ''this is long overdue''

Will Young - Echoes
My opinion on the album just thought i'd post it, i've finally listen to the whole thing and had it on constant play since Jealousy (My rating - 8) I didn't like it at first, and i still don't think it's the best thing he's ever done which is often what i say when i hear a new lead single from Will. It's grown on me, i am still not crazy about the video concept but no one can deny that it's done well because it really has, the airplay and sales have been amazing and it's stood it's own against some big releases in the singles. I think if this continues and airplay continues he might just get into the Brits Best Single race which would be amazing. I really like the verses but the chorus to me slightly less. It's a good song none the less and it's really grown on me. Really makes sense when you listen to it alongside the album and it is the obvious first single. Come On (My rating - 10) One of the best songs he has ever done. This is the sort of song i've always wanted to do since he won all those years ago. I really like everything about the song, the massive chorus, the great performance on the Brits. I've had this song on constant play and i think it's a brilliant second single choice. For me, it's up there as one of the best things he's ever done even though he didn't write it. Lie Next To Me (My rating - 8) I wasn't sure at first, but i really like the second verse ''i'm leaving, i said i'm leaving'' and the beginning is amazing too. Really like this now, not as much as the two songs that precede before it but i get the meaning now and lyrically it's quite strong and emotion. It's a perfect 3rd single choice. I Just Want A Lover (My rating - 5) I don't like this song very much. It's my least have song from the entire album, but i still think it's alright, but not amazing AT ALL. It's a bit repetitive and goes no where, and it's like the same two lines over and over again. Reminds me bait off All I Want off the third album, but that had more for me. Love from Let It Go followed this repetitive thing and i wasn't crazy on that either. Runaway (My rating - 7) Yeah i like this, the chorus is good. Very catchy, love the instrumental playing in the background. It's not single worthy but it's quite nice. Does get stuck in your head though! Outsider (My rating - 7) Felt a bit weird, almost as if it didn't fit in with the other songs on the album as it's less electro than the other stuff so sticks out like a sore thumb. But then again, i like the song a lot, the first verse is amazing and Will's voice and vocals are top notch. I do just feel maybe this would have been a better ender than Safe From Harm and that could switch places with it. Silent Valentine (My rating - 8) Amazing. A possible single. Really like this song now. The meaning, the delivery, it's gentle beat and how it's structured is perfect. Suits Will perfectly, really really like this. Losing Myself (My rating - 9) I really like songs like this. Love the chorus, and suits Will to a T again and the lyrics are good too. Very very catchy, sticks in your head. Personal Thunder (My rating - 9) Possible single choice. Really really like this. One of my face's off the entire album. Great chorus, the intro is just amazing too. Love how it begins slowly and then goes all mid tempo. One of my faces. Hearts On Fire (My rating - 9) Reminds me of a Kylie song On A Night Like This i don't know why. Really liked the John Ross performance too!, great song. Potential single for me. This song screams quality to me. The production is really amazing on this song. Happy Now (My Rating - 8) Really like the calming and nice chorus. Fits Will's voice perfectly. Really relaxing listening to this, and like the dark chorus. Another fave! Good Things (My Rating - 6) Great chorus, the verses are a little meh - but it's a grower, have a feeling i might like this after! Safe From Harm (My Rating - 6) It's almost like Runaway part 2!!? Not the best ending to a Will album, but the end instrumental makes it. It's a nice ending, but i'd have preferred Outside as the ending. Not as original as some of the other songs. Again amazing production. Overall opinion I really like it - i was worried about not liking this dance-electro-pop stuff, but the albums very good and screams quality. The artwork is amazing i really like having my copy in my hands!! It's not Will's best ever album but it's up there. Well done Will, 19, Sony BMG and Team Young on another brilliant album. My request? Let's do more than 3 singles for this album...the gems need to be seen by the masses. Have a feeling this could be a huge seller when all the overall sales come in sometime next year. My fave Will albums in order (Except the hits) 1. Friday's Child 9.5 2. Keep On 9.2 3. From Now On 8.8 4. Let It Go 8.6 5. Echoes - 8.4 But saying that i still think it's a brilliant album :) Well done Mr Young.! :)
