‘Hot in December’ giving Carly Rae Jepsen vibes!

Correct!

'Office Party' sounds cute! "I could be the Princess of Pop..." yes you are! So we're getting a video for 'Office Party' too? I thought the "Dirty Dancing lift" was in the 'XMAS' video.

Girls Aloud had the highest sale for a #3 of 2006, sales that would have seen them #1 either side of that week! :(

The original album has been re-released on vinyl and can be bought as a double album with The Untold Chapter. That’s the entry at #12. #23 is the vinyl of The Untold Chapter.

Madonna named 4th greatest musician by Spin Magazine! She changed the world. Bruce Springsteen may have been the biggest rock star in the ’80s (may still be) but Madonna was the biggest star. No movie star, director, painter, writer or other musician created the tsunamic wake she did when she floated into and out of a country. Crowds the size of those who came to see the Pope greeted her when she arrived in a city like Rome, besieging her hotel. (When she later played Evita in a movie, that role was a step down from the adulation she witnessed in real life.) Her music was great (I think, always did) but that alone didn’t create the rip in the cultural space-time continuum. She was a liberator. She was 100 percent who she wanted to be and who she said she was, which was more than refreshing, it was, then, society-tearing down. Love her or hate her, she was (I believe) equally happy with either reaction. She freed sex from the prissy cotton wool Reagan’s America was wrapping it back in. Nothing she did was as outrageous as the next thing she did. She was a sustained cultural orgasm. She coincided with MTV’s rise perfectly, and defined them as much as they helped define her. Her videos were small movies — some R-rated level and banned — and they were great! Her songs and videos were controversial on multiple levels, including the tremendous furor that “Like a Prayer” caused for using Christian crosses and kissing the statue of a Black saint. She sold more than 300 million records, but that’s beside the point. Madonna more embodied the spirit of rock ‘n roll than rock stars. She was nobody’s fool, and still isn’t. – Bob Guccione, Jr

Yeah I’m not counting out #1 just yet.

You're welcome! I've had the exact same thoughts about new releases too!

Based on various totals and adding up weekly sales given in surrounding weeks, these are my estimates for 3-5: 94,000 Eminem (3) 91,000 Il Divo (4) 89,000 Kylie Minogue (5) And my estimates for 'What Will the Neighbours Say?' over Christmas: 85,717 (6) 84,000 (9) 85,000 (13) 106,000 (12) 31,000 (15)
