It was such a shit year for singles.

Wohoo......

Couldn't most acoustic artists be viewed as self-aborbed?

Didn't like Moves Like Jagger for ages. I like it now. 2010 was shit for singles in general too.

the homoginsation of genres has been around for decades but in the download era the unlimited availability makes them perfect for multiple demographics. If a song has three genres or three major selling points then it gains a lot more exposure - many more music channels will play it.

They do get a lot more love but it is far from clear that they are superior.

I think number 4 at the highest. The other albums in the Top 5 will sell in the time it takes 21 to reach that point. After that it's a case of trickle sales.

Holiday is utter shit.

It's not really that impressive to compare pre-orders with Adele's 21 and claim that it will be an album of that stature. Pre-orders for 21 were no indication of it's eventual success, were they?

Top 10 will be full of

That's it. Thanks a million.

This single was a Top 20 hit in the Spring of 2007, I think. Or it could have been spring 2008. The video was mostly black with some reflected rainbow sheens reflecting off the people in the video. It was quite funky and ended with a huge pair of red lips floating in space. I went through the charts in the vault but I can't find it. For some reason I think the world Uncle or Unkle is in the name of the artist.

+3

please God no.

Because he has the stigma of X Factor. It means some people will dismiss him and not bother listening. I didn't.

There's a huge difference between not creating a whole new sound each time and sounding like the lowest current common denominator. I want interesting things to hear, something that doesn't sound like everyone else. He managed to be interesting on Flux and One More Chance even though they were dance music because he didn't; go for the current sound. This time he did. Poor show.

I'm supposing you also cant hear similarities to Britney's Till the End of the World's chorus.

David Gray - White Ladder Moby - Play

can't you hear the single note riff that have been popular for the last few years? It's very of its time.

Ah for f*** sake... it's the same Calvin Harris/David Guetta stuff that Marina has turned to. Kele's stuff is so derivative. Same with Tenderoni.

It wont do 4 million this year. It will be well into next year - maybe March - when it does. Especially as she said there would be no deluxe edition.

On first listen it sounds much better than her last few albums.

Her album is available to listen to in it's entirety. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/11/140261371/fi...rs?ps=mh_frimg1

This could be sensational. I'm hoping for Newsom-esque music.
