Paramore

Is it? They don't have a great run of number ones. Their debut, a charity song, and Little Things which was actually quite good. They have an avid fanbase but it doesn't translate to singles. Are their core fanbase even allowed to use mum's credit card? There is a reason they bring out their albums for Christmas.

Not even close. This looks like a flop. Maybe it will gain after Children in Need night. Should have gone on sale after the video debut. Everyone just went to youtube and didn't download

Yes, the advertisers are paying for your song listen because you are exposed to their campaigns and you get 1/10th of the say of someone who buys the song I hope this gives the Rock chart a shot in the arm, dear me we need new stuff in there.

That Sheeran lead is crazy, the song is crap. There cant be such thing as the Pharrell effect can there?

Jubel should have been released this week. It doesn't stand a chance against Secondcity but could have snatched #1

Mr Probz, Keisza and Duke sound very little alike. Tsunami is just crap. I don't see why our chart has to be similar to the US one? They have a more urban leaning over there, always have. Bar the early 00s we've always been more pop/dance.

Secondcity is a pre-order! That explains Kworb, I've been wondering why it has been flopping so badly. So when does it come out?

I don't think I have heard anywhere play Ann Lee 2 Times since 2000!

Really shocked Devotion, U Sure Do and Its my Life have come up already. Proper classics. Fatboy Slim was popular for a summer in 1999 it seems

I have a feeling Foxes is going to go this way. Music TV wass throwing Let it Go on every 15 minutes last week and its really disproportionate to the chart.

Love it. Its only flaw is the number of ooos and ahhs. Its like they forgot the lyrics. Worthy of number 1 for her voice!

Babycakes- 3 of a Kind Axel F- Crazy Frog The mid 00s were awful for the chart. After 2003 I just stayed on MTV2, it was too dangerous to go outside. I didn't start listening to the chart again until 2008 and we got some mature pop and the dance resurgence began!

There is some weirdness with the sales but is Everything but the Girl- Missing anywhere near it yet?

All this Dad Rock is disturbing buzzjack, disturbing.

I'm guessing the Guetta Shazams are people thinking 'Did he really just copy that Audio Bully's remix?'

I'm just concerned if this will make the chart move slower. You buy a track one week, you aren't counted again the next week. But you then listen to that track for weeks/months. I'd have to see how they decide to measure it. If Mariah gets Christmas number One will that be 20 years after release by the way? Would that be some sort of record?

Get it Bastille. Doing a Florence, indie cover of a dance classic. Its a good one too!

Blimey Bastille's new song is sexy! My generation is coming in to the music biz now.

Why would anyone work with someone as shady as R Kelly?

I'd say the 90s Indie peak was 1996-98. The 00s was 2004-2006. We're due. But that said, Rock isn't doing very well in its own niche: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/rocksingles

Not liking Roar. Like Part of Me, its a good album track, nothing more. Also I like the vid but wish she'd either mime the darn song or act the thing. Don't flit between them

I don't think her people know what to release to be honest which is where 4 fell down. Music doesn't work by saving the best until last, save the best song and everyone will have it on the album anyway.

Come on Chvrches, go top 40! Great to see London Grammar doing well.

LostProphets' Start Something was their only great album and they were coming out of Nu Metal but a little more punky. YM@6 are more punk in the Fueled by Ramen mould. And they have two very good albums, this last one is a bit meh

And its not even the best song about Chocolate. That goes to Snow Patrol. :lol:
