    Thanks suggy. :D Great stats. Great to see The Hits at double platinum. :cheer: Wills stuff just quietly keeps on selling!

    Yes, it was great news! :cheer: :w00t: :dance: Sounds proud to be part of Island Records too.
  3. So looking forward to seeing him! :cheer:
  4. As I thought, I'm warming to the idea now! :cheer: I was a bit lukewarm to hear it rumoured then confirmed I confess. But then any fan of his music is bound to think this is treading water I imagine, especially if like me they saw it a few times already last year. At least it gives more people across the country the chance to see his wonderful performance as the Emcee, and I am interested to see a new cast too with having seen Will's West End version a few times. Thank goodness it's a relatively short run, just over 13 weeks I reckon. I'm sure Will will want to get back into the studio after that which is much more up my street too. :P

    Doesn't take much to get me excited where Will and the thought of new music is concerned. Today I've found myself wondering if he turned up with songs or ideas, is he dusting down things already drafted, or is it a blank sheet. I suppose its possible they could be passing stuff back and forth over the net as well. Either way it is exciting they're together! :D

    That's not very nice is it? :lol: They're young lads, give them a chance. ;)

    You really shouldn't be so thin skinned about Olly. It's a hard industry, he's doing really well so what have you got to complain about?
  9. ros posted a post in a topic in Pop and Country
    Why are you so rude??! "Will based anti feelings about Olly's label"? Sony was Will's label and i can hold any feelings like about them. Grow up.

    We know how greedy Sony are so they probably want people to spend £5.99 on the album all through his promotion once he's back here rather than buy the single. They can't be happy with his US album sales after the time he's been out there slogging away.

    It's not true where Will's concerned is it suggy? It's a bit too quiet for my liking. We can't even get a fresh photo ATM it seems.

    And I'll go and be 'bitchy' elsewhere .. :lol:

    Believe me I've seen plenty of him but I wouldn't pay for the pleasure. Even Simon Cowell acknowledged he was no singer and I value decent singing for a start. Also I see plenty of other artists live so know what I like in a performer and Olly's not it. We clearly differ drastically in our assessment of him as a performer so let's leave it at that - I dont want to burst your happy bubble. As for how I think he's desperate for fame, my starting point is his statement of his ambition to be an "international superstar". It's funny how you think you are able to assess what he says properly but I can't. It's as possible for someone with rose tinted glasses to be wrong as someone whose cynical you know. We can all have our own opinions, it is OK.

    You mentioned Will Young, and as truly talented says they are nothing alike, they just both came from talent shows. It is Cowell who gets my goat, and Olly is a product of everything I don't like about the man's influence. I agree he works very hard but he will because he wants the fame, he's desperate for it. You do an amazing job promoting Olly and putting the best side of him all over the net (you aren't on his payroll are you?) but just because you like Will doesn't mean all Will fans are going to love Olly with you. And there's no need to be insulting just because someone's views don't accord with yours.

    Exactly. I reckon if it becomes clear he still needs the association of XF/ Cowell / ITV etc to sustain his success here by God he'll be back. All this "will he won't he" that we always have is the usual Cowell claptrap to raise interest in the show and promo for the individual. What they're doing now is testing whether he can stand on his own two feet, and seeing which markets are open to him. He knows the score, and said in the States the other day he was worried that if he failed there it would affect the European market because they wouldn't see him as a success.

    All he said? There was plenty in the press that he wasn't happy that he wasn't getting the credit he deserved because of where he came from, even though he was still glued to where he came from, (ie Cowell's nest) and looks like he will continue to be so, and more so if he's actually keeping the door open as you suggest to return to XF. The situation of Will Young and Olly are worlds apart. Olly has wanted the best of both worlds - all the benefits of being linked to Cowell without any of the flak. Even what he's doing now in the States is piggybacking on what he was handed last year supporting One Direction courtesy of Cowell!

    I never go near BGT or any other Cowell enterprises these days so I wouldnt know. I thought he was wanting to distance himself from Cowell's empire or is it just when it's Brits time wanting kudos for his artistry etc. Seems when it comes to promo he's quite happy to be linked though.

    The shock would be if he wasn't! :lol:
  19. Badly, it came in at #57. A huge drop from #18 last week. Sold 19k last week, only up to 26k now.
  20. Olly Murs. :blink: 19 57 MURS*OLLY RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME 6,978 -64 19,205 26,215 Maybe he's not quite the international superstar he was billed as last week over there. Noone is going to be happy with that after the gut busting effort and money to try to break him.

    Yep, twitter and google alerts are really all you need! :lol:

    On FB Anne said Andy's away and not able to fix it till he's home.
  23. Yes, he probably needs some more roles under his belt. It was great he got a nomination though he truly deserved it for his great performance! :cheer: Ahem, now new music please Will! :D I didn't want his head turning too much.
  24. I think you've mixed up the sales and the positions - it's #18 with 19k sales. ;)
  25. I thought his Dancing with the Stars performance was gross. Why does he have to be so cheesy?
