Was that classic Reggie? Completely miss out a song or did I just miss it while he rambling along?

OK I'm worried - I quite like this song :S

Hey all, As a special Christmas present, I have made a special podcast looking back at the history of the Christmas #1 race from 1960-2009. As fellow chart geeks like me, I thought you may fancy a listen. This isn't meant as any boring self-promotion - I get no financial gain or whatever from this, was purely a bit of nerdy fun after I finished my MA. So if you fancy a listen - Part 1: 1960's is available here: CHRISTMAS CHART BATTLES PART 1 Part 2: 1970's - CHRISTMAS CHART BATTLES PART 2 Part 3: 1980's - CHRISTMAS CHART BATTLES PART 3 Part 4: 1990's - CHRISTMAS CHART BATTLES PART 4 Part 5: 2000's - CHRISTMAS CHART BATTLES PART 5 If any of you like it I'll post the rest of the parts ASAP. I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this, so no worries if it needs moving. Enjoy :) Merry Christmas :D

Took me ages to find MJ's 'Hold My Hand' - it says it was released November 15th - that can't be right??

Ellie Goulding & Coldplay #s 1 & 2. Never thought I'd see that in December while X Factor was on. Very pleased :) The Christmas battle may be more interesting than I thought.

1. Usher ft. Will.i.am - OMG (BEST) Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go Marina & The Diamonds - Hollywood Inna - Hot Far East Movement - Like A G6 Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull - I Like It Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand Swedish House Mafia & Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars 10. The Saturdays - Higher (WORST)

VERY good point.

Hehe you're first guess is correct - is it ever on TV anymore??

I really love this version of the song - but I am baffled as to how it's managed to have this much staying power. I understood it rising again when Rebecca sang it, but it's quite surprising that it's still there when the likes of 'Mad World' or 'First Time Ever...' or 'Stay' didn't do the same. Also a shame that a lot of people think she wrote it.

I'll get my coat.

Am I the only one that thinks 'What's My Name' is just alright. Not the best song in the world like it's being made out to be. It's not bad, just 'alright'. Still, better than 'Rude Boy'.

Yeah - yet again I think its had a reset or revert or whatever you want to call it. Suddenly lots of new entries and climbers have dropped loads.

I don't think MJ is released until the week after now according to his official site. Might be wrong.

I hope that horrid mess of boring 'Game Over' falls soon, its been about #22 for 10 years.

No entry for Brett Domino yet?

Is the Brett Domino track eligible for the official chart? I didn't notice it in the mids so just thought I'd check - hope it is

This is weird - I thought MJ was out on Sunday - but on the official site it says differently: "Michael's new single 'Hold My Hand (Duet With Akon)' will be released in the UK on Sun 5th Dec as a digital download; and on Mon 6th Dec as a CD single [4 tracks - Album Version, Vocals & Orchestra, Alternate Mix and Instrumental]. Pre-order links will be available here shortly." http://www.michaeljackson.com/uk/news/uk-s...gle-mon-6th-dec

Yeah I know, they did that last year. Really angered me cos Robbie had to settle for #2 by like less than 1%. That was a week after hitting #2 to Alexandra Burke's Bad Boys ( :puke2: ) when any normal week he probably would have been #1 on both. Bloody X-Factor! Now JLS did the same with 'The Flood'/'Love You More'!.

I'm probably gonna get mauled for even thinking this, but I'm finding the last 5 or 6 songs from the Saturdays to be rather samey and boring - I really liked their early proper pop songs. This just sounds like everything else.

Eugh. Bored.

This Gyptian track makes me feel like its 2003 with all those 'riddim' songs like Wayne Wonder, Lumidee and Kevin Lyttle.

Lol I don't think it's necessarily about people loving Aiden, it's about rediscovering an awesome cover of Mad World - hope it survives enough to see it Top 40 next week :)
