That t*** who thought he was 'The greatest singer in the universe" is the biggest pr*k going. We NO WAY will be hearing from him again, no matter how many times he says it. - How do you think it went? - Brilliant - I know you'd say that.

"indie bible, NME" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

YAY!.

Her just went 'Right...'

What was she!?, a "helocentric" vocal coach, and also worked with Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine?.

"Do you want to hear some METAL!!!?". Not from you thank you.

I think the size of the chart did kinda make up for it tho, therefore not having tons of 25 weekers.

Yeah it was :), I made a top 500 of all time myself for 1952-2006, as there was no book in 2007 either. It's in the chart reference library somewhere :).

and Wes Butters even played Funeral For a Friend once, even though the single went 19-38!. I'll never forget the number of times they played "Umbrella" as opposed to Rhianna's most recent hit at the time!.

would the top 500 of all-time they used to publish based on chart weeks, be irrelevant these days due to the slown-down nature of the chart due to downloads, meaning tons of songs spending ages on the chart?. I think they would probably move away from using a top 75, and only count weeks on the top 40 or top 20 for ranking purposes from 2007's charts onwards, or maybe move away from using the ranking altogether.

What makes the slow chart more annoying, is the fact Fearne and Reggie seem to play the ones that stay around for ages for weeks and weeks on end, rather than playing the songs that have not been in the chart for long.

You've hit the nail on the head there, it's made the singles chart really meaningless now.

I used to think Slipknot were some sort of joke. I think they're pretty good now! :D.

Slightly annoying Glasvegas are not top 10, but this is the second top 20 hit running, and sets up the album release brilliantly.

Van Halen!

Metallica were awesome at Reading. The new songs they premiered, are a massive move away from the guitar-solo absence tracks seen on "St Anger".

It's the last thing we need.

I see nobody has mentioned Feeder yet. 24 hit singles and 8 hit albums, with 2 of those reaching the runner-up spot. They still are one of the most consitently sucsessful chart acts this century tho. Billy Fury hasn't been mentioned yet has he?.

They didn't 'sell out' to EMI, they knew that label have an impressive track record of promoting and releasing compilations, with a decent sales record in response to the promotion. Because of EMI's promotion and distribution, they paid 50 grand per slot for a TV advert, which helped the album become Feeder's most sucsessful and first one to have a consistently strong chart run. "Silent Cry" did very well to chart at number eight with zero airplay and publicity, the only magazine feature before the albums release was Grant in 'Total Guitar' magazine in a guitar shop. The album only has not reached the silver certification mark because Echo are in serious financial difficulty (despite "The Singles" making a 2 million profit), and spent very little money on promotion and marketing as a result, EMI should have been involved again methinks. I bet very little people on here knew they have new single out, and it's only a download with no CD single due to Echo's money problems. The album faced many delays after recording wrapped in November 2007, a friend of mine spoke to Mark Richardson (drummer), and sounded very frustrated at the situation as Echo was up for sale at the time, but the sale fell through (Echo rejected EMI's offer). If that sale happened, who knows what would have happened to this album :(. Anyhow the future is going to be bright again, Universal/Mercury have approached their management about a 3 album deal!!.

At least it'll definetly do better than it's entry placing.

It's amazing what instores can do, Biffy are doing them all week. To be honest, 'Who's Got a Match" is a miles better song, and makes "Mountains" not so great in comparison. It did get annoying hearing the "I AM A MOUNTAIN!!!" hook EVERY TIME BBC Three's coverage of T in the Park started.

http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZmarc_bowen He's quite strapped for cash after paying up for Reading, so is currently clearing some stuff out, and I offered to help with any CD's he liked to sell :). All the CD's have offers welcome with free postage, just thought you lot on here would like a look :).

Radio 1 STILL boycotting the most underrated band ever I see :(. Just like Terrorvision and Paul Weller all over again.

The original was by Ernie K-Doe, originally recorded in 1970, it only made No43 despite all the promo on the Boots advert. This version is even worse, and at first looks like they're taking the pi** when it's serious.

I quite like this, uses surreal 3D camera effects :), and the band are shown to have a bit of a laugh with the video. http://channelbee.com/move/ Click on the top left video!.
