June 6, Finsbury Park, the celebration/party/revolution is ON!!" The one-day spectacular will include a full supporting bill of artists, with tickets for the gig available on a lottery basis. To register for the tickets fans must leave their details on the event’s website – www.theragefactor.co.uk – by midnight this Sunday, February 14.

Do why list it for the 22nd physical?

Rihanna has no physical. Alicia Keys has no video yet. Timbaland and Keys yet to peak IMO. I doubt if Rihanna will past them both. What happened to the US Haiti single? If it don't happen soon it won't be #1 on iTunes.

Sales of Everybody Hurts are collapsing. Anyone else notice this?

It's not just radio. It's the whole media. The gossip in the papers, TV time. Generally these things are a function of popularity or interest not of music talent. That interest is many times from the viewing figures of X-Factor. So someone like Jedward wins out on being interviewed over Ellie Goulding, thus compounding the problem.

Agree about TOTP. Such a program is in much need now, but I think it should be more like a video chart countdown. Not a live act show. Radio 1 has become The Sun newspaper of the Radio airwaves, popular, mildly entertaining, but really $hit content when you think about it. Time to scrap the snorelist playlist, bring in more DJ's like Scott Miles and Live lounge type features.

This. No radical rule changes needed. The OCC(or whoever it is doing the rules) do a great job. The problem is elsewhere.

Easy solution ban X-Factor c) Media to promote British acts The issue here is X-Factor artists take the TV airplay, the newspaper inches, the Jonathan Ross time(think Jedward), radio airplay and don't allow british artists to get off the ground. Been a problem since Pop Idol startered but the combined effect over years is taking it's toll. X-Factor is unlikely to produce any longer term talent, so it's not good replacing long term career with instant 'stardom'.

:lol: :rofl: That's the funniest things for ages. BrayFish, what a romantic you are!!! (not)

Rihanna - Rude Boy to #11 Only a bar or two from Ke$ha - Blah,Blah,Blah at #10. Looks like Rihanna will be Top10 in the next 24 hours.

Yes, I find it way to short.

Timbaland is High School Musical esque? :huh: :unsure:

I notice Glee cast have 10 songs in the Top100 on iTunes. 10% of the chart!

Are you sure about Run? I believe your correct but I can't explain this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001KOH...2815&sr=1-1

I'm surprised how fast H/WOS has risen. Owl City's #2 spot is under threat sometime tomorrow it appears.

#4 Halo / Walking On Sunshine (Glee Cast Version) - Glee Cast http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j313/predicta/iTunes2010Feb09.jpg

Halo/Walking On Sunshine

to #9 Glee Cast - It's My Life / Confessions, Pt. II

Yes. I don't which is most pleasing, see Jedward drop from Top10 or a decent song replacing it.

Yes,yes, yes! :yahoo:

Glee strike gold again!

Top 10 just.

Helping Haiti has gone up a lot. 5 times Owl city. Still not at the level of RATM did on downloads at Xmas, but with physicals it seems likely it will.
