You have to download Spotify to check. It's quite interesting. Will has only had 6,000 plays since release on Friday. The No.1 song on Spotify in the Uk is doing 200,000 streams a day at the moment so see the difference. I don't like the look of the new video :unsure:

As much as i'd like another music video it's far too soon. it'll confuse and ruin the campaign i feel... Just stick to the one single and release the other one a few weeks before the album. I want another video but i don't think it's wise, the current video has 20,000 views on Youtube and 6,000 plays on Spotify. That's not very good. Maybe the 4 years out was too long...i know he's more a album seller but apart from the hard core fans and the pop fans the buzz doesn't seem to be there as much to be honest. I really think another video so soon is rather a awful decision. Universal need to pull their finger out and promote this music video. Sony BMG were like a fine oiled machine i do think the Universal campaign is not quite as good. It is rather early in the year also to be releasing as sales tend to be lower, sticking to Q4 is mostly best as the overall sales will be higher. As long as the album goes platinum it's all good...but i am stunned at the low videos on the video! i really thought when the video came out people the views would fly as Will has had a 13 year career now, most people know who he is so i would presume they'd be interested. The Shayne Ward video he is independent got 200k views for example... Anyone feel the same way? Sorry to put a downer on things!!

WOW just heard it and WHOOOAH!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: It's amazing!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: So catchy. Love the new sound. Lead single material. Fresh. Just what i wanted. I really liked his earlier material but it's so true that just wouldn't sell in today's market. So modern. I was expecting Echoes Part II but in retrospective this is much better. If the album is anything like this it'll be brilliant - the gospel sound is good. Well done all involved and Mr Young of course. Can't believe i've been supporting Will now for over 13 years. He is still one of my fave artists around. :w00t: Can't wait for the music video and the album. Come on iTUNES! Get buying people!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :lol: PS The single artwork is awful! :P but never mind.

Oh the album is available to pre-order, and the first few deluxe are signed. I have pre-ordered. YAH! :) But why no Boxset.. :puke2:

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...!

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...

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

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.

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.

No new single or music video No new songs on the album Not a WORD from Will... Not even a new photoshoot... Just a few adverts here and there.... and it's in at No.15!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: That just shows interest in Will is high in the UK. WOW. Why hasn't Will said a WORD about this...abit annoyed if i am honest...? Is it because he disagrees it should have been released...? sn't that incredible!? Just shows the support for Mr Young out in the UK...i mean it's not even reduced anywhere selling at about £10 average everywhere...!Just a shame they didn't put in I Just Want A Lover and Losing Myself. I'm ashamed to admit despite owning everything Will Young already...albums and singles i just had to bought it and i did. Not even a new photoshoot...bitter Will!!! He could at least mention it on twitter...not happy about that. Anyway.... He must have made Sony BMG so much money in 10 years... From Now on - No.1, 800,000 sold Fridays Child - No.1, 1,600,000 sold Keep On - No.2 - 1,000,000 sold Let It Go - No.2,- 450,000 sold The Hits - No.9 - 550,000 sold The Essential - No.15 - no promotion no single no new photoshoot no word from Will... The biggest selling single of the 21st century Evergreen 2 Brit Awards - nearly 10 Brit nominations!? Eleven top ten singles: Evergreen/Anything Is Possible, Light My Fire, Long And Winding Road, You And I/Don't Let Me Down, Leave Right Now, Your Game, Fridays Child, Switch It On, All Time Love, Who Am I, Changes, Jealousy 9 million record sales and Surely a million tour ticket sales too...so many tours/concerts too... Was it bitter of them to release a hits collection again without his permission!? Maybe thats why he's bitter... This could harm his album sales next year too...it won't make as MUCH of a impact since there is an album flowing around right now.

Flipping heck...he's selling amazingly considering there is no promotion, video or even a word from Will. Just shows the extent of interest in him in the UK is high. Well...i've crumbled and bought myself a copy still angry there is no Losing Myself and I Just Want A Lover... :wub: But YAH! my copy is here

Obviously Sony cashing in on his contract. Will's not said a word, i believe he'll be against this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Essential-Will...ords=WILL+YOUNG But i'm still tempted to buy it. :( Sounds quite nice having all the singles all A Sides and B Sides unlike last time with the most recent ones on there too!! What does everyone make of this!? Out next week!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/WILL-YOUNG-OFFICIA...+young+calendar Anyone got one of these spare to sell? I would be very interested...! Cannot find it anywhere.

Well done Will on the WhatsonStage.com award, had a sneaky feeling he'd win! Well done fans!! :D

1. In Stronger Will says 'You won first place, but you take second best' - is this about Gareth? 2. Is Stronger addressed to Mr Cowell? 3. Did Will hate Darius? He wasn't nice about him in Funny Pecuilar was he!? Seems abit ingenuine to me!
