Freak Like Me: This completely passed me by in 2002, maybe because it only just scraped into the Australian Singles top 50 at #44. I discovered it in 2006 though when I started getting into the Sugababes as a proper fan and for me this has aged like fine wine. Great then, brilliant now.

Jumping into this album now for some Saturday morning listening.

Thanks. :) I’m loving it so far, really looking forward to the album in two weeks.

#2 in Australia.

Misses the top 50 in Australia also.

Closing in on platinum. Well still 72,000 away.

Two weeks at #2 in Australia now.

Nice to see Lady Gaga with two songs from the album charting so far.

Is it just me or does this sound like it samples Somebody’s Watching Me by Rockwell?

Title track released today. Studio 24.

Great to see it’s not all negative in the reception to this. Will hopefully get a proper listen in for this over the weekend.

Been a long day at work today. Will be finishing this up in the morning. :)

So I’m 3 or 4 listens in now and for me it smack in the middle of the other four songs from this year. So placing it 3rd from the 5.

Thanks, there’ll definitely be changes. I’ve already started warming to a song from the bottom section of my list. I can see it making a reasonable leap.

She’s had a fair few collaborations. It’s nice to have a solo track again.

I know, it’s 6:15 in the morning here. Good start though.

Damn having to leave for work now. I’ll catch up on this properly tomorrow.

#3 on iTunes in Australia already.

Up to #23 on iTunes in Australia. The EP is at #2, ahead of Lady Gaga at #3.

Thanks Padamic_Tension! Great to see there’s at least a few you like on here! :) Similarly with the singles I’m interested to see if this changes over time.

I’ll probably miss it, but I’ll definitely pop by after it to share my thoughts.

Thanks. I feel like I’ll be regulating checking this thread on my breaks today and after work.

I genuinely wasn’t sure what the thoughts were around this, so thanks. I do think it’ll hang around the charts for ages though.

It helps being just after 4am here and I’m just about to get ready for work.
