UK #1 Singles Missing from Streaming Platforms
That upload of The Chicken Song is not a legitimate re-release - the same artist has songs from the South Park soundtrack, Doctor Who themes, and others. Anyone can technically re-add any song to Spotify, and get away with it for a while if it manages to slide through any copyright filters. I'm sure it will get removed as soon as whoever owns the copyright finds it.

The biggest selling post-X Factor debut singles revealed!
Jedward and Marcus Collins are ahead of Joe McElderry, Matt Cardle and Leon Jackson, all of whom's singles were promoted on X Factor with them being returning winners. What.

The X Factor · Guest Performances
The artwork says it includes 17 number 1s. There have been 29 number 1 songs from X Factor acts; I am guessing Steve Brookstein's one hit and It's Chico Time won't be making it.

Official: Top 50 Boyband Best Sellers of the 21st Century
Busted's top-selling single only sold 230,000?! That is unbelievable.

New Release Schedule - 2nd September 2013
Eminem's Berzerk is available in the UK Amazon store now...just not on iTunes? Strange.

Predict:James Arthur - You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
I presume he'll perform it live on the X Factor. Considered his debut was the best-selling X Factor winner's single ever, I'll be amazed if he doesn't get to number 1 again with this. Then again, no male X Factor winner has got 2 number 1 singles, which is an astonishing fact. Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry and Matt Cardle all got 1 number one single each. I can imagine Simon Cowell might push this single hard to change that fact.

Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis & Mary Lambert - Same Love
Considering how highly Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' singles have sold in comparison to their album, this should hopefully do well. I would absolutely love it to get to #1, but even top 20 would be brilliant. When is it actually getting a UK push?

Lowest charting follow up from No1 single?
This. As soon as I read you were inspired to do this thread by one artist going from #1 to #12, I thought of this fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-h..._United_Kingdom Lots of artists who reached #1, only to never have a top 200 hit again.

Predict: Backstreet Boys - In A World Like This
Voted Top 40, because I couldn't vote "not in top 100". Their time has passed.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 16th June 2013
Credible? Sure, they took until series 3. But they had G4, Shayne Ward, Steve Brookstein, Journey South, Andy Abraham, Chico all getting top 10 hits - some of them getting quite a few hits each. The Voice has only had two top 10 hits - #10 for Bo Bruce's album, and Leah McFall's I Will Survive. The first winner's single has sold less than 10,000 copies...I do agree with you that it "could" pick up, and I hope it does - I enjoy the show, and there has been talent to emerge from the show that deserved to do better - but so far, it has been a huge flop of a show in terms of chart success
-
Leah McFall's I Will Survive is biggest-selling record
This just makes me gutted for all the series 1 finalists. They could have shifted a load of single sales if they had studio versions of all of their live show performances released. It's also really quite sad that a cover that was probably recorded as quickly and cheaply as possible by Leah has sold more copies than any of the singles/albums that were promoted with music videos, radio interviews, advertisements, and had a lot more work on them in terms of song-writing and such. But hey, that's the way it goes.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 16th June 2013
The most-viewed and most-liked video from any of The Voice series on the BBC YouTube channel is the duet between Jessie J and Vince Kidd from last year. Views and likes aren't always reflected in sales/success, strangely.

Songs used on XF/BGT/The Voice etc
The Voice had contestants choosing what songs they wanted to use in the last round before the live shows - can't get much more variety than that, surely? Plus, I bet as soon as the sales are released on Monday, they will be someone saying "oh, I can't wait for Iris to get to 1 million sales". As long as they sing it well, I don't see the problem.

I'm gutted Vince Kidd isn't doing better.

Survey : Album Titles/Covers
An album with cover art that grabs me is more likely to be purchased, of course. I have also previous bought albums purely because the album titled really struck me, or sometimes just because it made me laugh.

Music Purchases This Week: Week Beginning 29th April 2013
Albums Rudimental - Home (deluxe edition from iTunes) I also am going to play Bo Bruce's album Before I Sleep on Spotify, to decide whether to get the full album or just get the single 'Save Me'.

BuzzJack's Soundclash #23
I think this is what we call a thrashing. Daft Punk is in a different league to Loveable Rogues.
-
Buzzjack's Soundclash #22
I voted for Rudimental.
-
Buzzjack's Soundclash #19
Definitely Rudimental - Waiting All Night. What a tune.
-
Predict: Loveable Rogues - What a Night
Awful. Hope it doesn't make the top 10.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 14th April 2013
I saw Plan B at the O2 supported by Rudimental, and the crowd were really, really up for them. Me and my friend loved them, and I have since bought Waiting All Night today and pre-ordered their album.
