Susan Boyle Vs. Leona Lewis the albums battle!
Another chart show thread where everybody makes a vain effort to stay on topic but ten or so posts in, turns into a petty argument between a handful of people about their favourite artist. You gotta love this place!! :lol:

Sunday Chart Predictions
I am sure they won't. Have you seen Jay Z's lead on I tunes? Even Guetta and Akon may overtake the Sugababes on Itunes by the end of the week. And seeing as they count for at least 70% of the download market, they have no chance. The physical single of GS won't help either, I can imagine them selling 2k at best. and most of those will be pre-orders that have already been counted. Serves them right for releasing a lacklustre mix of Black Eyed Peas and Right Said Fred. Still, I don't completely write them off. Let's see how About A Girl does. I've only heard a live performance of it on Youtube but already it sounds 10x better than GS. We shall see....

Nah, think I'll stick with the better song.. which is RTT. I don't think its unpatriotic to not purchase a single from a British group which isn't up to scratch. What kind of an idiot would spend 99p on a record they hated just to wave the Union Jack?! Whatever.. I think the Babes need to release singles the quality of About You Now and Push The Button, or they could quickly slide into irrelevance.

If you can call it that. It's just Akon and Guetta p*ssing around a swimming pool, with a few bikini babes thrown in for good measure. Finally, we see them performing together at a cheap night club. The sort where you get covered in foam and Tequilia. GREAT. Virtual Insanity and Weapon Of Choice, eat your heart out!!

Er, I think you'll find it's mainly Jay Z's tune.. EDIT: And how do you know she goes around without any knickers on? Are you sure you're not mixing her up with Ms Spears?

Music videos return to UK YouTube
Music videos return to UK YouTube The issue of copyright has dogged YouTube since its launch Music videos are once more available to YouTube viewers in the UK after the streaming site reached an agreement with songwriters' group PRS for Music. In March, YouTube blocked thousands of music videos to UK users, after it failed to reach agreement over fees. YouTube, owned by Google, is paying an undisclosed lump sum to PRS, backdated until January and lasting until 2012. PRS for Music said it was pleased an agreement had been reached but neither side would reveal details of the deal. Friends BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones said both sides needed to get the music videos back online. Our correspondent explained that YouTube wants to become the venue for all kinds of online content, while the songwriters know that revenue from the internet must play an ever bigger part in their income. A spokesman for PRS for Music, formerly known as the Performing Rights Society said: "It is a lump sum deal which seems to work for YouTube's business model and offers recompense for our 60,000 members. We can be friends again." A spokesman for YouTube said that the "tens of thousands" of videos which had disappeared "will come back over the next few days". 'Complex beast' Alongside it will be new material as YouTube signs partnerships with other record labels and guest editors introducing their favourite videos. The deal had taken such a long time to be hammered out because YouTube was such a "complex beast", he said. In the UK, PRS for Music acts as a collecting society on behalf of member publishers for licensing fees relating to use of music. At the start of the row, Patrick Walker, managing director of broadcast and online at YouTube told the BBC that PRS was seeking a rise in fees "many, many factors" higher than the previous agreement. He said that the two were "so far apart" that YouTube had no choice but to remove content while negotiations continued. But at the time, Steve Porter, head of PRS, said he was "outraged... shocked and disappointed" by the decision. He said the move "punishes British consumers and the songwriters whose interests we protect and represent". The Music Publishers Association (MPA) joined with PRS urging Google to rethink, while Lord Carter, who was the UK's Minister for Communications, Technology and Broadcasting, also waded into the debate. Giving evidence before the Business Select Committee the minister said he suspected a degree of "commercial posturing on the part of both parties" but said the row was indicative of a wider issue. YouTube is the world's most popular online video site but has been under increased pressure to generate more revenue since its purchase by Google for $1.65bn (then £875m) in 2006. Services such as Pandora.com, MySpace UK and Imeem have also had issues securing licence deals in the UK in the past 12 months. HURRAY!!!! :w00t:

I'm referring to people who happen to have less than 10 posts or so, the ones who poke their head above the parapets for a second before quickly disappearing into blissful obscurity. I'm in no way generalising everyone who holds a dissenting view into the same category, just the individuals who have silly usernames like jls4ever or kyliesdiscopants who troll a little and are never heard from again. Obviously long term members like you are fine, I just hate one-post wonder newbies who have nothing to contribute but negativity and vitriol. Okay, rant over :P

Intentional, believe it or not ^_^

But true nonetheless. You just wait and see, they'll all come out of the woodwork next week for the release of Sugababes " Get Sexy", then with Madonna's "Celebration", Shakira's "She Wolf" etc. I can see it becoming like a procession for the insignificent nobodies to have nothing to add to the thread other than condemnation of a mainstream hit. And most won't even be able to tell us why, they'll just feel all important that they're DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. Quite pathetic really..

Am I the only one who notices that whenever a popular song comes out that lights up the charts and does really well, some attention seeking little nerk crawls out from under a stone and squeaks in their tiny little voice "am I the only one who thinks.."
