A lot of polls published said he was the most liked judge in each of the 3 seasons he was on, that's why I say that

And without Gary, XF would have had a lot less viewers!

I've got tickets too, Dylan! We'll both have to post our reviews! Must say, I'm really looking forward to the day out. One thing TT do so well is their live shows, it feels like an age since I saw them at the O2! Hope the weather holds out!

Hoping the BST performance will give it a shot in the arm!

BBC came out today and pretty much killed Simon's potential challenge cold. He can't have the monopoly. Although, everyone knows he'd love that.

Yes, definitely, but the margin between #1 and #2 was only a few thousand which streaming helped get it over the line. Unfortunately it killed Hey Boy (would have been another top 40 hit) and now Cry.

Ironically though, streaming helped These Days beat Band Aid to #1 (albeit Band Aid wasn't available to stream when released initially)

Absolutely, good call Aphrodite Milly, I love that RTW version for the concert for care show. Great live performance!

Definitely Patience. The lyrics, the performances, the chart performance...it is the greatest comeback song ever. Without it, who knows how successful TT would have been this time around

#46 today. Disappointing

Hopefully it'll just mean songs like These Days mixed with Rule the World types...

I still think streaming needs to be looked at. No way can it supersede sales in the way it is currently. How is Drake #1 for 10 weeks etc

Very true! Hopefully it'll stay reduced until the BST gig

You never know! We can hope!

Cmon Take That and Sigma!

Streaming is a killer!

As I've said before though, I'd love to hear a remastered NE with their voices today

Good to see Kidz and Happy Now there! Good choices! Love the video to this though. Agreed though, I would have definitely released Reach Out over this (although I think it was originally scheduled as single #4 in the UK before RTW came along...)

Haha!! I should have never forget on there too! I quite like WCIWUWY, am I the only one? :lol:

Top: 1 - Patience 2 - Rule the World 3 - Back for good 4 - Said It All 5 - The Flood 6 - These Days 7 - Shine 8 - Pray 9 - Everything Changes 10 - Greatest Day Bottom: 1 - I Found Heaven 2 - Do What U Like 3 - Promises 4 - Could it be Magic 5 - I'd Wait for Life

I still find nobody else very enjoyable! But I wouldn't place it ahead of any records post 2006

Any idea how it is doing on streaming? If it can make a breakthrough on that, maybe it can re-peak

Good stuff! Has it been reduced in ROI too?

I think Cry would win pretty resoundingly!

Good to see Holding back the tears and sleepwalking doing well so far! I sort of wish they'd re-record the first 3 albums with their voices now. Would love to hear the BW version of Give Good Feeling too!
