biffff

Who cares about the quality of the product, it's $$$ that counts at the end of the day. Personally, I think the man's a genius for rush releasing an album so soon after Britain's Got Talent with a load of Il Divo cast-offs on it and just sit back, watching it fly to No 1. If he'd left it any longer, Mr Potts 15 minutes of fame would have been up and no-one would have given a hill of beans for his opera covers. Cowell seems to have the magic touch for appealing to the general public, no matter how naff you think some of his acts are. I wish I had his business acumen for delivering hits...

Who parts with that much for album these days? I pay a maximum of £8.00 in the shops, £7.00 online for the latest albums. I think you should look around a bit more, you may be pleasantly surprised...

ME!! I have a crystal ball, dearie. A working one, not like those fakers at the carnival. Actually, I'm more impressed by your ability to shrink the Scissor Sisters, then keep them prisoners in a little square. HOW DID YOU DO IT?? Can you not release them until them promise to apologise profusely for the mess that was Ta Da, there's a good egg?

THe most boring report EVER? Yessir. Timbaland a nailed on certainty for next week...

At least its doing better than 'I'd Wait For Life' by Take That. That Didn't even make the top 100 LOL..

It's more like 2.4k, but close enough...

Which song was it, just out of interest?

You know something? I ashamed to say this, and you can strike me down if you like but... from the small clips I've heard of this song, it doesn't sound half bad! About 15 years out of date, but surely we're die for a bit of a pop revival? Why, it could have been this year's Eurovision entry! Shame the 3 of them look like a bunch of munters. Oh well, I only have to LISTEN to them I suppose...

See? EVERYONE agrees that it's been a flop up till now, which is why they're selling it on the cheap to get rid of their existing stock. It's a shame that it takes a lower price tag just to get the album back in the top 100. After the 'Babies' fiasco, I virtually guarantee that 'Soulmate' will be used to launch the album in the States. I think the UK was used as a testing ground for this, but it has cost her plenty...

I don't see that as a reason to celebrate, it just goes to show has poorly its sold that they're selling it at a discount after only two months on release. I guarantee that as soon as the offers over she'll sink like the proverbial stone ;)

There is no 'maybe' about it....

Oh hi Mr Miyagi. Still catching flies with chopsticks are we? Well, don't let me keep you.

Actually, I'm more interested in a campaign I'm running right now for illiteracy. Do you know anyone who might wanna give it a go?

I say she'll fail miserably for the same reason why Rachel Stevens flopped and (as I believe) Leona Lewis will later this year... she has all the charisma of a dead slug. I saw that TV show where that rich dude tried to resurrect her career and she came across as a whiny, self-obsessed diva with no personality. If I could give Timbaland some advice I would say : "Listen ol' buddy I appreciate you're one of the most talented producers around, but you can't spray whipped cream on a turd and call it a chocolate delight. Some people are beyond help. So, don't bother." Seriously, if she goes top ten you can resurrect this thread and mock me till the cows come home, but until then I anticipate that this comeback will be slightly less successful than Five's. Or East 17's. Or All Saint's. Or... well, you get it..

Nah, they won't make it. Even if they were ahead today I'd say Rihanna would pip them too the post. This is a FANBASE single... it'll sell well the first day of release and they probably end up somewhere like 4 come Sunday. I predict Kate Nash (not Bush) to end up at 2 and 1/4 of the Black eyed Vegetables to stick it out at 3..

Question: How can the top 5 be 6 songs?! :unsure:

I'm sure you'll agree this will be slighly more open than my last attempt! :lol:

Yep, both good songs, and overall worthy successors to the brilliance of Umbrella . Then of course we have the other side of the coin, the return of Elvis :puke2: IS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOING TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THE RECORD COMPANY BY PAYING £3.99 A WEEK FOR A SECOND TIME?! I despair..

Actually Rihanna is from Barbados, but don't let facts get in the way of your Anti-American rant.. :rolleyes:

Just heard from another that Rihanna is quite far ahead.. :o

Don't know where you got your information from but Fergie is at 4 and Rihanna 5. I can see it being a VERY tight race.

We do like our polls don't we?! Top 5 thanks to the BRILLIANT freemasons remix.

Timbaland needs to be No 1 in the Itunes chart by tomorrow to stand a chance of toppling Rihanna this week. Also Groove Armada may be a future hit, but it doesn't look like it's helping to sell Mutya's album..

Remember, this is for which song you think will do best saleswise, not which one you prefer personally. So get voting NOW, this is my first ever poll and I don't want it to be a flop :P

Really, this person is a waste of precious oxygen. You're not going to change their feeble little mind, so why bother? Let them think they've won the battle, then go off and have a good old laugh about how sad they are rehashing the same stupid point over and over again. I guess some people have got nothing better to do.. :rolleyes:
