Yeah it didn't do too badly in the end, but I'm glad it didn't do any better, I may be wrong about this but if Wings overtakes Cannonball they may be the only X-Factor act to top the sales of their winners single, unless Leona managed it with Bleeding Love?

I wanted 'Salute' upto about yesterday but I think I may have finally overplayed it so I voted for 'Boy' , although to be honest I'd be happy with any uptempo bar 'Mr Loverboy'. Salute has the potential for the best video though, so purely on that basis I would love it to be a single. 'Salute' is the highest non single on iTunes atm, both that and 'These Four Walls' have constantly been in the top 1000 since the release of the album so if they ignore both it's be a bit silly imo. The rumour of the Sports Relief single worried me though, I hope that doesn't affect any album tracks being released, this is such an awesome album they can't afford to waste it.

No problem, I store this on my computer so may as well make use of it. :) Some haven't got yesterdays sales on yet, but I'll try and keep it as updated as possible. I'm personally hoping Wings will overtake Cannonball by the end of 2014.

I'd personally like Salute to be the next single and hopefully the US debut single with a killer video. After that another uptempo for the summer time, I don't really care which one as they're all incredible, anything but 'Mr Loverboy' for me, and then close with Towers or These Four Walls.

The first line up for 2013 sbs Gayo Daejun bas been announced. Lee Seung Chul J.Y. Park Lee Hyori Dynamic Duo Baechigi Brown Eyed Girls G-Dragon Taeyang K.Will KARA Girls' Generation SHINee 2PM 2NE1 f(x) 4minute SECRET B2ST Rainbow CNBLUE ZE:A miss A Girl's Day Nine Muses A Pink EXO 2nd Line up to be announced next week I believe. Not quite sure what this is, but a lor of my favourites artists are there so I'm excited.

Maybe we'll get the music video this Friday then? Irish dates have been announced now too: The girls have added 2 Irish dates to the #LittleMixSaluteTour! Dublin O2 Arena on 8th June & Belfast Odyssey on 9th June! ...

One shot by B.A.P was flawless, I wasn't really bothered about anything else they've done this year, but that song and video alone are just incredible! I wish 2014 would hurry though for all the big comebacks, there's not been anything that's really caught my eye lately. :(

Woohooo! Although mark owns that song so I'd personally of preferred if they got him out for it. Great promo for Shane though, hopefully he gets a boost from it as in the UK he's not being doing great. Must admit I haven't been listening to the album all that much, it's very consistent but not enough variety I guess.

I love the video for this, they're thoroughly embracing their boybandness and the kick of water all in time - perfection! lol the song is ok, one of the best on the album but the album as a whole is pretty poor, I hope they can do well enough though that they can come back next year and really smash it.

He's never out of tune it's so weird! He must be the most consistent pop singer ever! The amount of times he's sang 100% live under a lot of pressure and he just doesn't sing off key, he does however forget the words a lot especially in concert! It's funny though! I'm glad it looks like he's getting a bit more promo now. His label were smart to try and push him this week a bit when sales are up for albums. Hopefully he'll get a bit of an increase in the UK. :)

Single #3 is 'Knee Deep In your Heart' - he's performing it on Paul O' Grady tomorrow. Thought I would post his performance of 'Coming Home' from Daybreak though as it was flawless. W9VzC-aU_c8

Move > Wings > DNA > How Ya Doin'? > Little Me >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Change Your Life > Cannonball

So excited for their US performance. I'm really happy how well Move is currently doing in the UK!

4Minute were the strongest girl group for me this year too, I'm glad they finally got proper recognition for how good they are. I literally can't wait for a comeback from them and on a sort of related note, I'm obsessing over 'Now' by Trouble Maker right now. No one has mentioned f(x) though? Their song is actually my favourite k-pop song of the year, I thought it was amazing, they definitely need more comebacks, I thought they would finally blow up this year, but with just the one single and massive gaps between comebacks it's always going to be hard for them! I thought Girls' Generation were ok this year, the song to begin with was just WTF but once you got used to it it was better, unpopular opinion alert though.... I have always thought they were over-rated, they're good but not as much as their hype imo. For boybands it was all about Teen Top, SHINee & 100% for me, also loved Super Junior M back in January, I wish they'd get more singles. Personally, I can't wait for 2014 though as there's some big comebacks on their way! I know 2013 isn't over but I'd for me so far: Best Girlband 01. 4 Minute 02. f(x) Best Boyband 01. Teen Top 02. SHINee Biggest disappointments 01. 2NE1 02. Exo (I know they were huge, but didn't think they were a patch on their debut).

I quite like After School, I don't know if they just go under my radar though but I barely ever hear about them. 2NE1 have another new track out this week, they really have disappointed me this year, none of the three songs have been a patch on any of their previous singles. Surprised how quiet this thread has been lately with the MAMA's on and things like that.

Yey, not my favourite on the album, but it's a great track. I hope it does really well as it's sort of a much better Change Your Life and the sooner they drop CYL the better as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they have at least 4 singles from this album again as there's a lot of very cool tracks the could be really good. I have to say the acoustic version of this is just flawless too. It's just a shame that it's the most teeny lyrically of all the tracks, I can't imagine them even singing it in five years time, along with Wings. But for now, it's pretty awesome!

Great sales for this climate and a great position. Really surprised About You got as high as #45 I thought we'd be lucky to see it Top 100!! So #3 in Ireland and #6 in the UK and doing very well in Asia, hopefully this is all good for him! :)

This album is really flawless isn't it? My album of the year without a doubt. Once again I thought it sounded a bit bland from the previews but it's gorgeous in full. I love all the backing vocals and the different sections to all the songs! I hope we get lots of MV's for this album, it just so awesome! I would do a rate but I feel at this stage everything would pretty much be a 10 with a few exceptions.

All three tracks so far have been flawless! 'Little Me' sounds good from the live performance too! Really can't wait to have this in full and see them perform some more of these tracks live. I love how throw back it is yet still sounds so modern!

I saw that, I'm holding off until I get it though, hurry up Monday! I love the album sampler though and at least I have the deluxe track as completely brand new! Have you heard anything about promo, all I've seen is Never Mind The Buzzcocks on Monday. I'm worried as he'll definitely need promo I don't think many people realise it's out. Fingers crossed for a top 10!! :)

Official Video is out. RwD4eJGxPc4 I literally wowed. Their best video and their best song imo! Very happy with this era so far! :)

They must have heard me ;) 0DeERCvrluY Wow! I have to admit after 'About You' I was a little worried about the album, but man it sounds amazing, the ballads are just gorgeous. Google Chrome is taking forever to buffer the video for me, but I'm upto track 12 and everything has been gorgeous so far. Definitely looking forwards to him performing Coming Home on tv like he has said, it sounds lush.

I feel bad for him too, at the time they started the investment, property was one of the most reliable ways of making money, he clearly got burned badly from it. I don't really get the backlash, I think the biggest part comes from the fact he moved away from Ireland because of it, PR wise that wasn't the cleverest thing, but he needed to protect his family and I think a lot of people would have done the same, but there definitely seems a lot of negativity around it all in Ireland. I feel bad for him as a person because of it because it must have been extremely stressful and probably the worst time of his life and I don't get why you'd blame someone for trying to make the best of what they have, but it doesn't make me view his music any differently, positively or negatively. Is there any news on previews yet? As much as I would like to hear the album I'm not parting money with the god awful Sun, so will happily wait. I have to admit I'm really nervous about this whole release though!

Jade was on fire in that performance, she really is an amazing vocalist now! I really enjoyed it, it lacked a bit of colour and the routine isn't at all exciting for a song called 'Move' but everything else was great. This song is truely amazing imo and I'm so happy they can pull it off vocally live. Hopefully if they get a UK slot it's visually more exciting too.
