Whacked a vote on the Boyle column :) The Fame? Really? It's got good songs yes, but it sort of melts into itself, with the tracks becoming samey and boring. I'd probably give it 6/10 maximum.

^ True, but X-Factor and Novelty singles still sell lots of physicals, and more places stock them than usually sell singles too. Does anyone have a breakdown of all the downloads/physicals sold by X-Factor winners?

Shocked at Rihanna's low position, I didn't think it was going to go top 5 but expected low top 10. She might end up doing a 'Sweet Escape' and never going top 10. Though it probably will go top 5 come January.

^ No, it went top 10 :S i'll get it 'cos I don't have Melting Pot.

Smiths :wub: :wub: supremacy of all the indie bands Teardrop explodes - julian cope right? isn't he welsh? heard not much of them echo & the bunnymen - again not heard much but like what I have joy division/new order - like some of no, need to hear more jd

Shirley Bassey - in 1999 also making her 62 I believe. and umm lemme think yeah tina turner in 2004 she was 64/65 Winifred Atwell?? born 1914 I don't know if she had a hit in the 70s Esther Ofarim? as in Cinderella Rockafella (hell no she was only 27 ignore that) Gracie fields? vera Lynn? Scratch all this as I didnt read page 1 and was too late anyway

I STILL haven't got Folklore. I kept dithering as I was in and out of :wub: with the singles and I never got round toit. I'll get both together...
