Electro Paradise

Oooh I love SHINee so really looking forwards to that. I have to admit I haven't given the first part a listen yet as I wasn't keen on the single (I know unpopular opinion alert)... might give it a lil listen now though as I do adore them as a group.

Ah double checked and you're right, sorry - my bad. :unsure:

4Minutes comeback is going to be the day before my birthday - so excited! The comeback pics look really interesting for it - here's the group pic: http://i48.tinypic.com/amupaq.jpg Sistar I think said their new mini album will be released 30th April, so interested in that too. :)

I agree. I'm glad they've pulled it forwards as the song has been climbing well on iTunes and if they left it to May it could drop before then and people may have been a bit bored of it by the time it got released. That said, they've yet to debut in the airplay top 50 so I don't see the sense of rushing it out now when still a large part of the public aren't really that aware of it. I think this Sunday would have been ideal, if will peak in the top 40 this week anyways, so next week they'll get more spins on tv with the top 40 countdown shows, that will also likely increase it's radio airplay too, so the public will be becoming more aware of it. There's never any sense in releasing midweek, especially for a group like LM where chart positions are important. <_< I am excited to download it though, I just don't see why they couldn't have waited.

Really? I freaking adore your sigs! I didn't know you were on popjustice too, what is your username over there? Thanks for posting the schedule, quite a few big releases coming up which is cool, especially looking forwards too 4Minutes comeback!

Oricon you need an award for constantly having the best sig on this forum. I literally spend about 5minutes staring at it every time you change it!! Things seem quite in the kpop world, are there any big releases coming up? I guess people expected to come back may delay not Psy has. Kinda hoping Exo will hurry up, it's been ages since they debuted. <_< <_<

Surprised, but it actually managed to enter the UK official charts (at #61) even though it only had one (or was it two?) days of sales! It's doing really well on iTunes across the world right now, definitely going to be another big hit worldwide for him: http://kworb.net/itunes/psy.html

According to The Sun this is their official artwork: http://i46.tinypic.com/3467vo9.jpg

Westlife's popularity in the singles chart definitely dropped off, but album wise and tour wise they were still very successful. It'll definitely be interesting to see how he will do, I don't think he'll have guaranteed success and it's going to be completely depending on the quality of the songs, but everything is set up nicely, he has an incredible voice and has great stage presence and a likable personality, I believe he was the most popular member of Westlife too and was sort of the leader to the outside world and therefore the most recognisable which should all stand him in good stead. Agreed zeze, I'm a lot more excited/interested now that the announcement has happened. The only thing I don't like about this so far is Louis' involvement, I have 0% faith in that mans ability, I kinda hope he's just got his name to the project to help with contacts but isn't going to be hands on when it comes to the actual music side. Can't wait for the summer and to actually hear the music he's come up with. Does anyone recognise the other people in the studio with Shane?

It sounds alright, it channels a lot of Gangnam Style though and therefore is a little safe. The 'Motherf*cker Gentlemen' line is indeed extremely catchy, I can see this being a massive grower for people. I personally don't think it will flop, but it obviously won't be as successful as GS, but then what will?! I can see it going top 10 in the UK and racking up a decent amount of sales.

http://i45.tinypic.com/1o85fp.jpg So today Shane Filan launched his brand new site and effectively his solo career. www.shanefilan.com He's written a message over on his site which announces a few things; - he's signed to London Record / Universal - he's been recording and writing in the UK & USA over the last few months - first single due out in the summer - debut album due later in the year, presumably after the second single http://i45.tinypic.com/20iw80n.jpg There's a few pics on his site of him in the studio and stuff like that, I piratically liked this one though of him signing the deal. :) Hopefully I'm not the only one on here looking forwards to this!! :dance:

I think they look amazing in that pic, I never really noticed George looks wise, but he lookd incredible in the promo pic. Poor Jaymi though, hopefully they won't always push him to the back for photos.

Yeah, their comeback song is alright, quite cute, I guess 'nice' sums it up pretty perfectly. But personally speaking I always prefer the more in your face catchy numbers like Wow to the more relaxed, cutesy songs. Here it is though, I do love the video though I have to say. 7zuoNuI4fHQ

I know this isn't knew, but I'm only discovering it now... and I'm in love. 8LzvqJLPLLU I don't have time now, but will check out there other stuff over the weekend, are they any good in people's opinion? I've not heard much about them?

Absolutely love the video for this... it's even making me want to die my hair! :huh: Can't believe I used to think this song was so boring, absolutely love it now, really hope it does well for them! I hope so! The song sounds american with the american style voice mail, plus the video is sort of Wings Part 2, just better imo as they're more polished as performers now. Never thought I'd be excited about this track as a single, but I really am, I hope they get some good tv promo of it in the UK too, looking forwards to seeing their performances.

:huh: Tacky? I was thinking kiddy? I like it though, except from Jades anything-but-genuine smile. Love how colourful their artwork has been and it's nice to finally have one where they aren't all looking mega serious. Now just can't wait for the video to come out!

I said top 5, but hoping for higher, although have a feeling it could go in at #8. Should do well though, it's very catchy and radio friendly and people seem to like it so far, it just needs the promotion.

I love this song so much, possibly my favourite from them so far. The video is quite nice too. :)

Obviously it doesn't mean things will turn out well for them, but to say they're not in a better position than Parade or Mini Viva is simply untrue imo, 'Love Me' outsold both Mini Viva and Parades best selling singles, never mind the huge success of Black Heart. The fact they've had two successful singles is significant too, plus I think the public are much more aware of them (because of Black Heart) than they ever were of Mini Viva (there's no point really speaking of Parade, their sales were very low). Of course I'm not saying things will turn out well for them at all, but I think media will be more likely to back them, despite 'Waterfalls' happening, because of the previous 'success' OVER the media backing Mini Viva after 'I Wish' happened.

Awesome!! What About Us 12:30am - #96 Singles Chart, #1 EP Was on iTunes an hour early though, may want to remember that when we track this for future releases. ^_^

Friday. :) The official Irish chart website is irma.ie they usually update about noon, sometimes a little before or after.

I think it's just a UK sales list guys, aren't the OCC lists usually just UK sales? Shame they didn't give the actual sale for the list, would be nice to see how close, or not so close, everything was to eachother. Personally glad to see Uptown Girl make it in a #2. :)

Yep, exactly this. I have nothing against rappers themselves and if songs are designed that way they usually work very well and sound great, and sometimes an added rap can compliment the original song, but most of the time it just sounds crap and quite choppy in the song, it's just seems like it's a fad, just the latest trend to have a rapper added rather than it being there to actually improve the song. However, it's not always the case.

274,700 as of 3/3/12 :)

Probably... but I'll keep everything crossed they don't.
