Sinner

What is wrong with that? The build up is great and insidious. I think this is a wonderful progression from earlier material.

I think she's being pretty arrogant if she thinks that she deserves to be famous. There's thousands of musicians that are more talented than her that will never be famous. That's not how fame works. She's not very bright if she thinks it does work like that.

Mars volta - deloused in the comatarium, audioslave, charlatans

It's ok. Some of the melodies remind me of one of the tracks on her first album. Not a huge departure but not crap either.

It does but why the rolled eyes?

DC spent 4 weeks behind 4 different number 1s. And outsold them all in the long run.

He has to realise that being shocking does mean he's right.

Think About Me was on a Hits album

It's not as if Back to Black hasn't already been number. If that were the case, I'd be more anxious that it got the number 1 spot.

This also happened REM - Everybody Hurts - Now 25 REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite - Now 26 Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger - Now 33 Oasis - Wonderwall - Now 34 Where they include a single and on the next release they include the previous single.

They've held back huge selling songs for the Christmas release a few times. Hit Me Baby One More Time and Pure Shores were also held back. I think Tragegy from Steps was held back too.

How does one qualify as a boyband? I didn't expect to see Savage Garden in the list.

Blur - Think Tank Muse - Absolution and Origin of Symetry

http://www.manicstreetpreachers.com The demo of The Girl from Tiger Bay is available to listen to on the site. It's much better than the new single.

Are they as awful as The Script?

Me too please.

I like the music but James' vocals are starting to grate with me now.

Wow. What did you do that with? Did you record yourself playing piano?

Numb!

No - but she's already released 4 singles and this era has done its work. I agree she is one of the most interesting pop acts at the moment but I'm more interested in what she's going to do next.

I think she should really give up and move on to the next project.

Excellent. Double cd pack with two extra tracks each. I can see this going Top 5 on physicals alone. Does anyone know what the physical sales for You're Love Alone was in week 1.

Just hearing this now. What has happened to this band? They used to be so good.

Delighted to see XX making the Top 10 albums.

It would be done in here or indie/alternative but could be advertised in Pop and the Lounge. Actually put it in pop - maybe the pop lovers might take notice of her.
