I agree.. the album version is so beautiful, and really flows much better than the single version <3.

we've heard a clip, and it obviously isn't though :P

Hay Amores sounds amazing! Her voice sounds so strong and wow, and the instrumentation is so simple it goes perfectly :heart:

Utada Hikaru blows them all away with her comeback. - 'Flavor of Life' was them tie in track to the huge drama 'Hana Yori Dango 2' - Most downloaded ringtone ever - Most Downloaded song in world history - Second biggest physical seller of the year in Japan - 'Beautiful World' had the 'Evangelion' tie in and that along with 'Kiss & Cry' [download #1] became the second biggest female single of the year, behind her very own FoL :lol: - Currently working on Japanese follow up to 'ULTRA BLUE' and a sophmore english album to follow up the crtitically acclaimed 'Exodus' - Where all female artists lowered in sales, Utada increased, is the queen of downloads, and outsold any other female globally this year. It's Hikaru, B!tch :heart:

36 Ayaka http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/7871/ayakasp3.jpg A girl who may seem to be quite low on my list, but I have no doubt that over time she'll rise up. Ayaka is one of the most exciting newcomers in Japanese music at the moment. Her debut album was the first female studio album to go platinum in years, and her first single was the first female debut to get to #1 since Utada Hikaru waay back in 1999 [look out for her in my list..] She seems unique in many ways; her voice and style to name a few. her music is also very diverse. 'First Message' is a great album, and I have even higher hopes for her sophmore, especially since i've loved the singles so far. She has also been voted the female of the future generation.

37 The Gossip http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4614/gossipkk9.jpg I've been a fan of these since about summer last year, when SITWOC just hit me, it was so instant, though I never thought they'd become as big as they have. Beth is an AMAZING live performer, and not only has a powerfuly voice, she really knows how to use it. She's such an icon <3. I found the new album very eclectic as well. My personal favourite song of theirs is 'Yr Mangled Heart' Standing In The Way Of Control QGRuKbCn09E

Yeah, and BSB are really popular in Japan for some reason :lol: i used to like Diru, but imo they've gone downhill since 'Withering To Death' Singles xx->01->01 - BOC (Hana no Na) - 37803 + 29628 (x1.75) = 118,004 xx->02->02 - BOC (MAYDAY) - 37598 + 28315 (x1.75) = 115,348 xx->03->03 - Dir en grey - 5686 + 3475 (x1.75) = 16,032 Albums xx->02->01 - Backstreet Boys - 10682 + 13957 (x1.7) = 41,886 xx->01->02 - chatmonchy - 12839 + 9049 (x1.7) = 37,210 Damn <_< Momusu sales must be really poor =[

I wouldn't completely rule Westlife out if I were you, stranger things have happened.

Singles xx->01 - BOC (Hana no Na) - 37803 (x1.75) = 66,155 xx->02 - BOC (MAYDAY) - 37598 (x1.75) = 65,797 xx->03 - Dir en grey - 5686 (x1.75) = 9951 Albums xx->01 - chatmonchy - 12839 (x1.7) = 21,826 xx->02 - Backstreet Boys - 10682 (x1.7) = 18,159 xx->03 - Morning Musume - 7148 (x1.7) = 12,152 --- Whoah at BOCs sales compared to Dir en Gray, and i'm so glad chatmonchy is outselling BSB :lol:

None, although the sugababes song is quality. Morning Musume; Kanashimi Twighlight :heart:

Oh, and just so people know, I shall creating a thread for the Oricon daily chart as well =D

I really like Ayaka as well, although I have to say I prefer 'Clap & Love' to 'Why' in terms of the songs, but it is vice versa for the video. I have heard the BoA/SEAMO collaboration, and I honestly expected more of it, not that it's bad of course. Oh, CDJ have announced a new BoA single for 12/12 as well, apparently it will be ''a fresh and edgy dance sound'' - I pray for another Dakishimeru and not a Sweet Impact :lol:

Project kids, but when some were selected to join band berryz Kobo, the rest formed their own. their new single is surprising for H!P release, as it managed to increase it's sales on some days. This is the bands highest first week sales. B'z get another week in the top 10, and Laruku have a sharp second week drop.

Because I was given their album as a gift? :rolleyes: Anyway, why should the music I listen to make my opinion more relevant or not?

I would believe that they are D:

What the hell is this, a r*tard convention? The Take That fans seem so against anyone else besides Take That, wtf? Get lives yeah? <3 The fact you feel the need to buy so many copies of a song speaks a lot about how confident you are about the song getting to #1 on its own merits. What the hell? She's only released two singles, how can she learn from a mistake when she hasn't made one. The public clearly like the material she is producing, being on X-Factor or not. Take That seems to make music simply for the housewives who pour out there money for anything remotely MOR. Some of their old stuff may have been good, but they now are nothing more than a Westlife that sing original songs. They even release their new material close to Christmas because they know they would inevitablly garner huge sales, and now that the 'comeback' isn't exactly news anymore, they have to rely on things like this. Bless. For the record, I don't even like Leona that much, but you are all acting so childish. grow up yeah?

Christ O= and I thought McFly fans were bad xD Download: Leona Lewis ~ Bleeding Love

Omg yeah! ''This is not a dream.. this a f*cking nightmare you b*tch!'' :lol:

Haha yeah, she was abysmal :lol: Don't you just love her fake ghetto <3 funny considering she lived in a caravan :lol:

Anyone remember her? She was so awful, she deserves appreciation <3 Bad Ass Stripper 1j9iJRHYrB0 French Kisses UQISzZDQfTU Mysterious wU5qSCgZxfM Jentina Love :heart:

And the last one for tonight... 39 The 5,6,7,8's I'm sure most of you know them from the film Kill Bill, and the rather fantastic 'Woo Hoo Song' :lol: They were one of my first tastes of Japanese music, although i didn't really begin to appreciate them for some years after my first encounter with them. They gained there name due to the fact they sing songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. I believe they were quite popular in the 80s, although their popularity died down [and they disbanded] until the Kill Bill movie gained them international success. So why do I like them? I think the singer has a really unique voice. Sometimes it sounds really awful, but imo it is really raw, and suits their surf punk vibe to the ground <3. i also think that their use of engrish is rather fantastic, on a lighter note :lol: I'm Blue YlPrvzPolYA

39 Hinoi Team http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/5984/hinoibz0.jpg I was introduced to these girls by a friend. their style is Eurobeat, with parapara dancing. I put them so high because when I listen to them, they always bring a smile to my face, and make me feel hyper xD I believe they have disbanded now, which is a shame as they were a lot better than most groups of the same genre [Gyaruru, for example] Ike Ike gLU9UJTdE-M

And to round out the first part of this list.... 40 Amy Winehouse http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2193/amyeu0.jpg I personally don't understand how anyone can't like her. She's fiesty, she can handle her drink, and she's got an amazing voice. I prefer her debut album to her latest, but i'm really glad she has got the recognition she deserved, something I couldn't have seen happening in 2005 when I bought Frank F*ck Me Pumps hQXddDLvQx0

41 Brooke Hogan http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/8995/b1ay9.jpg Well, I really don't know where to begin. I have followed her career for 3 years, before her tv show, before her record deal, before anything. I really loved her music back then, the sort of pop/rock music, she really suited it, over the years though she began to change her sound to an R&B style, and her debut album Undiscovered followed this. This really disappointed me, despite some of the songs are really good, they just aren't as good as her pre-label songs. So she would have been higher if she hadn't have sold out, but from what i've heard she's going back to her roots for the next album, so hopefully she can rise up my list again <3 I Believe [live] rToqhfVRjfk

42 Teppei Koike http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7246/teppeisy4.jpg I do mean to force my opinion on anybody, but I am sure everyone agrees that he is hellah hot xD One half of duo WaT, Teppei Koike has also released numerous solo singles and an album of original material. Like WaT, his music is melodic pop/rock, although more guitar orientated and less ballady imo. His songs are really nice to relax with, and I don't really have a bad word to say about him <3 Let us all appreciate :lol: Kimi ni Okuro Uta 04Do2gAxJE0
