iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 8th April 2012
I think that B.o.B might surprise everyone tomorrow, I'm sure he has a relatively big fan base but not many people have heard it I don't think. It's fairly instant so I reckon when it starts surfacing on iTunes it might attract a lot of attention and shoot up the chart. At least top 10 I'd say, but I'm usually terrible at predicting :lol:

Lady Gaga Rihanna Have a feeling that most people will either do my combination or the complete opposite, and it will relate to their age - younger people will make the same choice as me.

Classic songs that never became hits...
Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 75-54-60-{47}-51 I'm sure I've mentioned this song before but it completely blew me away when I learned it never even made top 40. It did get number one in America though.

Florence + The Machine // 'Ceremonials' October 31
I am completely and utterly in love with Ceremonials, it is my 3rd favourite album of all time (behind The Fame Monster and 21). Shake It Out, Only If For A Night and Breaking Down are all time favourites, I can't even begin to comprehend why she isn't one of the biggest singers today. I know her music isn't exactly commercial but some of the songs, especially from Lungs, were fantastic and could have quite easily been played on the TV and radio (Rabbitheart, Dog Days Are Over). This album really makes me wish I could sing so, a) I could do the songs justice when I sing them, and b) I could potentially create something this good in the future.

Emeli Sande 'Our Version of Events'
I absolutely love Heaven, My Kind Of Love, Maybe, Next To Me and Read All About It Pt. III. Usually there's only 2 or 3 that I really like on an album but there's a lot more on Our Version Of Events. Saying that, there are quite a few that I really don't like on here so they sort of cancel each other out. Read All About It Pt. III better be released as a single, I only heard it about 2 months ago and it's already in my top 30 of all time. It really resonates with me, if it is autobiographical then it's quite astounding how alike me and Emeli must be because every line of it could be said about myself.

Smallest Amount of Sales Seperating Songs/Albums
Wasn't there a ridiculously small amount of sales separating Example's Stay Awake and Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger last year? Around 300 if I remember correctly but I could be wrong.

iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 8th April 2012
I know that I'm like 3 pages late, and I would hate to re-kindle an old flame, but I think it is fair to say that a frontloaded song is one that sells a high percentage of its total sales within the first few weeks of release. Obviously there will be many exceptions to this rule, but I think that this summarises what people were trying to say on the last few pages.

Could Prima Donna by Marina challenge for number 1 next week? Personally, I think it's a good song but I don't know whether many else do.

iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 1st April 2012
According to a Vevo YouTube video I just watched, Jessie J is releasing the video for LaserLight on 10/04, Tuesday. By the sounds of it (which was limited to a 4 second preview) it is a slightly different version to the album version - a la Nobody's Perfect with the slightly altered vocals. I can't help thinking it is going to be a terrible flop, but then again I thought the same for Who's Laughing Now and that didn't do too badly.

Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'
My favourites after 5 listens are Starships, Roman Holiday, Pound The Alarm, Beautiful Sinner, Marylin Monroe & Right By My Side, but the majority are at least listenable and this is likely to change as I listen to it more and more. I do feel as though it is more of a Pink Friday part 2 than a new album in its own right (I don't know if this was the intention or not?). PF had Eminem, Rihanna, will.i.am & Kanye West whereas the biggest name on RR is probably Chris Brown, and half of them I have never even heard of. On the whole though I do think it is a good album, if not quite as good as Pink Friday. I only bought the standard version, is it worth buying the 2 deluxe tracks from iTunes?

iTunes Chart: Weekly Thread W/C 1st April 2012
Bare in mind that Next To Me has 2 versions in the top 40, so even though it has overtaken one version Next To Me's sales are probably much higher than 212's.

iTunes Chart: March 2012 (Part III)
Wouldn't it be interesting if The One That Got Away eventually sold more than Part Of Me? It's probably unlikely, I think POM will be reduced as it is droppig quickly now.

Which UK Female Will Tie Geri Haliwell's record? Preliminary
I love Jessie, but I really doubt that LaserLight will reach number one. It's far from her best but i do agree that she could do it with a few from her second album
