I agree with Kelly: There albums have never charted that well, and never really sold that amazingly. Considering this hasn't had a major hit single, i wouldn't hold much hope of it. I think it will chart between 7-13. It isn't a patch on 'Chemistry' anyway. it's like Koda Kumi and hitomi furuya had a r*tard child [in the musical sense :lol: ]

Full radio Rip leak :D anyone wants a link..pm D;

So many one week albums :o why did Take that return to #1 on 31 March?

It's true though, if they want to do it they will, f*ck to any other country that tries to stop them :lol: It is part of the countries pride, something Japan honours and takes very seriously. They've been doing it since C8th, so they're not going to stop now: I personally do disagree with it, especially the use of harpoons. However, I can see why they do it. Unfortunately, the only way I could see it being stopped is if the government puts a ban on selling whale meat for food purposes, as it contains things that can be extremely harmful to pregnant women and growing children. However, since every year they are requesting a license for commercial whale hunting to begin again, that seems ever so unlikely..

Shakira: Live In Miami - The Oral Fixation Tour [DVD]

Came today, I missed school so I could watch it :lol: It is SO amazing! The directing of the DVD is done so well [better than L&OTR] and I really love the lighting and little effects [like the butterflies in Antologia] The songs are performed really well, and her voice sounds really strong. I haven't watched it all yet, but I've watched the main concert, I'll watch the rest later. My favourite performance is PDSB :wub: so good!

That's awful :( I didn't even know that she died. You could always tell she was such a big influence on him though, it is must be so hard for him.

Tradition is tradition, whether you like it or not. Japan as a country can be so stubborn to outsiders, and so concerned with pride and nationalism it is insane. So it isn't a surprise to see they're still going ahead with it.

Confirmation the albums will be relased next year!! *dies* http://www.u3music.com/message/backnumber/...0071023-3j.html --------------------------- We need more Hikki fans dammit! :angry: xD I have a good feeling about the next English album :w00t:

I'm still waiting, I think it'll be so much better to watch knowing I waited. still, it's pretty hard; I've watched the promo trailer about 50 times :lol: I can't wait to see Estoy Aqui and Inevitable, two songs I will never tire of :wub:

Wow, it must be pretty popular! :o is there chance of it charting in the hot 100?

It debuted at #18 last week with sales of 8,756

Double Post! :magic:

You may be interested in this.. Japanese Dance singer Ami Suzuki has covered this for her new single; PmuS38a-pac

I personally think it would be interesting to see how sales for albums would be if acts followed the same route as Japanese artists ie releasing the 3/4 singles, THEN the album [+mabye a radio song to help promote the album]

They easily beat off Kobukuro, who earlier in the year had the huge track 'Winding Road' which featured female of the moment Ayaka. Last time these two bands went head to head, NEWS came out on top initially, but Kokuburo outsold them overall. Will lightening strike twice? Despite being one of the most popular JPop females and rising K boyband, Koda Kumi & THSK fail to deliver greatly with new single 'LAST ANGEL.' Worse sales are in store for avex label mate Ai Otsuka, who only manages to scrape in at #5 with 'Pocket.' Ai recently released the #1 album 'LOVE PiECE.' NEWS take the #1 album with 'Pacific' leavingMakihara Noriyuki trailing behind by nearly 150K. Former #1 BSB slip to #3, and SEAMO sticks around in the top 5 another week. Celine Dion manages yet another top 10 album with 'Taking Chances' and The eagles new album, which seems to have gone to #1 in most territories it was released, has to settle for #8.

Wow, so even less time to wait :o Welcome to the forum dave1812! :D

What a strange comparison :lol: Don't Bother only got to #9 and then fell pretty sharply, and OF2 only reached #22 originally [despite going platinum eventually.] Wheras 2 Hearts looks to be quite a big selling hit, as does X.

I agree, they remind me a lot of Pies Descalzos songs, that's probably why they used Pienso En Ti :wub: Is there anywhere to buy the ep from? I've checked iTunes but I can't see it :unsure: [unless it isn't available in the UK yet.]

Don't be so negative all the time :P And I think they're showing it for promotional purposes, it's in a few theatres across America if I remember correctly. Not long to wait no, hopefully Play ship it out early :wub:

Wow, they are really good! Simplistic, but it allows her voice to really shine; she sounds so beautiful <3. At the moment I think I prefer 'Hay Amores'

ooh! me me please, if you can xD

It's quite... hmm :lol: She seems to be trying to go up and down scales, but her voice isn't really suited for that singing. Still, it sounds pretty hot :heart:
