Glee are performing Starships this week, so perhaps it could provide a boost for the original? Wishful thinking on my behalf?

I don't think it would do any good to re-release '21'; it was a part of her life that is now over and to go and re-write all over that would just seem pointless and certainly cause outrage among her fans (although I understand her record company won't view it this way). I think the best step forward would be to try and release a new album as quickly as possibly to make the most of all the Adele hype that is unlikely to die down any time soon.. This is almost certain to increase 21s sales somewhat - although obviously not as dramatically as 19 was. Eventually 21 will end up near the top of that list so to try and speed it up would cause more aggravation than benefit.

Wooo, my first ever win! :cheer:

I still absolutely love Starships. Yesterday it rose to #3 on my personal chart and it still sounds fresh to me. It's nowhere near Super Bass, but is probably my second favourite from Nicki. I only thought it had been out about 2 months, not 4!

Lana Del Rey will be releasing National Anthem! Excellent choice, it's 100000x better than Blue Jeans.

Why is Princess Of China rising so quickly? Has airplay increases for it or what?

Does anyone know what he'll be performing? Will it be Last Time or has he moved on to a new single?

Where Have You Been seems to have stopped moving - it hasn't moved at all in the last few days (well it's gone down but that's due to the new entries). It always confuses me when that happens: a song shoots in to the top 15 in a matter of days and then sticks just outside the top 10 for a while. Fully expect it to go top 10 when the airplay for it starts increasing.

Sexy And I Know It was also used for like 3 seconds by another act on BGT, wouldn't expect it to have an impact but any sort of usage seems to see a small increase for LMFAO.

Does anyone know how far SLY is from reaching the number one? Quite a lot I should imagine, but if it continues to retain its high position in the chart it may not be too far away. EDIT: Damn, beaten to it.

Haven't had Bad Boys FOREVER, but it sounds surprisingly fresh considering it was average at the time.

Had no idea Boom Boom Pow was anywhere near as big as this - not complaining though, it's really good.

I heard on an interview with Tulisa today on the radio that she is going to release 6 singles before her album is out, and every single will be completely different so everyone will like her or something. She also said that her album would have more than 20 songs. It sounds like the worst technique I've ever heard of to be honest, Nicki Minaj tried it to an extent and it didn't really work, not to mention the fact that Nicki's much more talented (in my opinion, of course).

I'm quite amazed by LaserLight's success, I was honestly expecting it to do even worse than Who's Laughing Now. The Voice has done wonders for her reputation.

LADY GAGA. No question.

For those writing We Are Young off already, I think we can compare it to Somebody That I Used To Know. It had quite a lot of a hype surrounding it after its succes in Australia (although not as much as WAY), and after the same amount of time i don't even think STIUTK was even T40 on iTunes. The fact that some unknown band can peak at #2 on iTunes within its first week is frankly remarkable.

Couldn't agree more. I see no appeal of RIP at all. It just has no growth whatsoever and I don't think it's catchy at all. Good singer maybe, but the song is awful.
