New single! :) OeULKuPEi8E

Nice single artwork too - JJ is completely flawless it must be said.

Capital and radio 1 were never going to play him, I was hoping Capital might but realistically it was never going to happen, without one of them though getting a hit single is extremely hard. I'm more confused that Real Radio, Heart Radio and the group Metro Radio is part of (not sure what their stations are called) etc didn't play him. His song was perfect for those stations and it's sad the lack of support it was given from radio. Still though, delighted Radio 2 are backing him and the single did very well despite that. Just hopefully single #2 will get stronger support and might give him a successful single before the launch of the album which is likely to be his strong point *touches wood so not to jinx it*. I hope the documentary is out near the album time too, definitely would be good promotion for him. I have no idea what that hint meant, all I could think of was hangman. :lol: Hopefully it is album news, totally excited for that!

So excited for the new song, love Steve Mac & Wayne Hector songs so really looking forwards to this and am personally glad it's not a ballad! Ballad for single #3 when we're still in the winter months sounds good to me. :) Keeping everything crossed radio might not snub this one, as despite a regional radio tour most of them onto ignore Everything To Me, despite it being a catchy summer number. He said 7 days to the premiere on twitter! for some reason I'm more excited to hear this than I was about listening to his first single. The documentary sounds like a great idea too. Like I was saying above, he struggled with radio with single #1 and Westlife struggled too, so I think he is going to have to rely on tv more than radio. Love that it's going from the day of Westlifes last gig, very interested to see how he dealt with everything! Strong rumours he is helping Louis on XF this year, he said in an interview he doesn't think he'll get a slot on the main show, but helping Louis out at least gives him some big exposure.

Quite like the artwork, they all look hot and props for JJ being at the front. Looking forwards to hearing what the album sounds like, they can do much better than 'Carry You'.

Second single announcement; It's called 'About You' which is different to the digital spy interview where he announced the 2nd single being 'All You Need To Know'. Loving the artwork for this and apparently we'll get to hear it next week which is cool. http://i41.tinypic.com/2qbfypc.jpg

I don't know if Shane was given some wrong info and he thought Radio 1 were just playing it like they would with any other track, but they actually only played it as part of their midweek chart run down in which they always play the new entries. Regardless it's good exposure for the track, but it's not about to be added to their playlist.

Wow shocked but delighted to see him at #7 was expecting low top 20 and to slide to low 40's by Sunday. Would be great if he could remain top 15 by Sunday now though, keeping everything crossed he may just hold onto that top 10 though. He's got a gig on Friday I think where apparently he's going to perform Everytime along with the single, can't wait for that as there my two favourites from the EP. BTW I agree that Today's Not Yesterday channels the westlife sound, I'm glad he's not completely turned his back on it but hoping there'll be more of the 'Everything To Me' sound too.

Great to see that. Shame it's not doing so well on the singles chart on iTunes, very curious about tomorrows mids really hope it's doing alright for him, fingers crossed for a top 20, personally I'm loving the EP.

They've not really been on my radar much before now, but going to check out their other tracks now and see what I think of them as a whole, but yeah the new one is definitely a good 'ne. I could list a thousand reasons as to why I think Henry was their pick to go solo, but in short I think he had the least pressure on him out of all the SM artists to be a success (exclusively a sub unit member, non Korean, Only 13 backlash etc) and had the most to gain out of all of them if he did get some success under his belt and if he didn't he probably has the least to lose. Plus, the fact he writes the majority of his stuff makes it much easier for SM (not to mention cheaper). His album has been doing well though and not just in Korea so I'm sure their happy enough. Personally, I'm just finally happy that he's getting the attention he deserves and hope he gets future releases soon too.

Liking this new one from Teen Top hHd_8iZFvK8 Can I just take a second to stay how happy I am that the English version of Trap was on Henry's newest EP! <3

I really like this, my favourite of their singles from first listen, might not stand the test of time, but I definitely liking it at this point.

So rumours flying around about the Woollim artists will be joining SM Town Tours. I know people are going crazy over the merge itself, personally I don't mind it although I think the Woollim artists are getting a much better deal out of this than the SM ones (who I don't think will benefit at all), business wise it's obviously a very smart move though for both labels. Just not really sure on the Woollim artists joining SM concerts, they seem quite different musically whereas the SM acts all compliment each other musically. Just feels like this is going to end badly really. Would prefer SM to stay for SM and then to have a special tour to celebrate the merger.

I don't know what the pronunciation is like, but they're voices sound really cool singing in Korean. This seems so out of the blue, but really happy they're doing it.

ngAxpLSpgMQ EP sampler, I'm absolutely loving 'Everytime'. There's also a Remix EP to go along side the main one.

2NE1 are really disappointing this time round, I'n gutted! This song is much better that the other one and I imagine it's going to be a grower, but it would be nice to see them getting to the quality of any of their previous singles, nevermind 'I Love You'.

Amazing!!

I3dezFzsNss So much better than Wolf, still not as good as their previous singles imo... but definitely liking this one a lot more. Pheww.

Cool thread, thanks so much for putting it together! Definitely bookmarking for future reference. :) The source website isn't working for me, but does this include sales from every country or just (Western) Europe and America as I'm sure Japan has a very strong album market and going by the Oricon website alone a few of them should make the list never mind their sales outside of Japan added on... plus all(?) of the albums seem to be English speaking which also makes me wonder if Asia etc are missed out.

YUQY5ZtiTWY Official Video, it's a bit different to the leaked version.

I quite like it, it's definitely not as in your face as their previous singles but I do really like it. Love their choreography too, I always do actually, they make it look really fun.

Love the song, not sure on them as a group yet but intrigued to hear more from them, definitely a nice debut.

That sucks. Maybe wait for it to go onto Amazon you never know they may put signed copies on there too. :)

Maybe contact them again and say you wanted to order the signed copy straight away but the Croatia option wasn't available and now that it is the signed copies aren't and that's not really fair because you were sort of locked out of buying one. You never know, they may get him to sign one more rather than loose the sale. Or they may not... but it's worth a try?
