Yeah, I dropped my glass on the floor in shock when I read that the other day :lol: I cannot wait for this, but for her sake I hope she releases a Japanese album before it, otherwise it'll be a repeat of Exodus, where two huge songs before the english album made no impact on sales by 2006. She really needs to ride this populaity wave. but awesome news :wub:

League 1 Regina Spektor 1 M.I.A. 2 PJ Harvey 3 Avril Lavigne 4 Joss Stone 5 Natasha Bedingfield 6 Roisin Murphy 7 Whitney Houston 8 Gabrielle 9 EVE 10 League 2 Shakira 1 Alanis Morisette 2 Annie Lennox 3 Amy Winehouse 4 Gwen Stefani 5 Kate Nash 6 Charlotte Hatherley 7 Amerie 8 Beverly Knight 9 Sophie Ellis Bextor 10 League 3 Bjork 1 Debbie Harry 2 Dido 3 Siobhan Donaghy 4 Tori Amos 5 Janet Jackson 6 Souuxie Sioux 7 Kelis 8 Lily Allen 9 Natlie Imbruglia 10 League 4 Courtney Love 1 Nelly Furtado 2 Missy Elliott 3 Kate Bush 4 Feist 5 Jamelia 6 Cat Power 7 Anastasia 8 Peaches 9 Corrine Bailey Rae 10

That sounds awesome! :heart:

That's a pretty good track from the sounds of it. Different to the 411, but good nonetheless.

This is going to be a CD/DVD :o http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=EICP-868

wow it isn't her? what a surprise :rolleyes: not This case is just ridiculous, based on nothing but scandal. Sure, she was ''seen'' three times in Morocco, but has anyone noticed these 3 places are nowhere neare each other? In between these Moroccon sightings she was seen in Malta? :lol: This whole thing is a joke, played out by the Xenophobic media and engrossing peoples lives far more than it should. What annoys me the most is the many people who seem to know the McCanns so well, and that it isn't at all their fault Maddie was stolen :rolleyes: I've said it before, I'll say it again; where are the campaigns for every other child or woman thrown into the sex trade/forced prositution from around the world, why aren't their families visiting the pope, and having blanket media coverage?

Does anyone have a tracklist? Awesome news! I missed my copy of 'Planet Earth' since I was abroad at the time, and they don't give free stuff with the papers over there, so i'm not missing this :lol:

I remember when I saw the video I thought it looked quite cheap...until I realised it was M.I.A, then I realised she's really upped her budget since 'Galang' :lol: song = :wub:

Who were you on it? :o and yes, it has had such a fall from grace :( I joined around the time of 'Watcha Gonna Do'

On that list..for me it's a toss up between Back To Black and Icky Thump. - However, I voted the former. My personal top 5 of the year [excluding collections] 1| Namie Amuro: PLAY 2| Ai Otsuka: LOVE PiECE 3| BONNIE PINK: Thinking Out Loud 4| Gossip: Standing In The Way Of Control 5| Mr Children: HOME

None in my HMV, shock :o

I'm kind of in two minds of this weeks chart. On one hand the majority of music within them is very good [especially the albums] - however, the sales are dreadful, especially for the #1s :o I wasn't expecting 300K for Ayu or anything, but I assumed it would do better than Glitter/Fated, considering it's so much better. I can see the Ayu train running out of steam faster then ever :( . I thought Angela would do better, considering HOME did 121K [or 112, I forgot :lol: ], but I think this will be a long term seller, so let's see how it goes. Yay for Hikki at 190K, she's totally getting the second biggest female song of the year [excluding ayaka x kokoburo]. Kuu surprisingly didn't drop a lot at all, and arashi still top 10 :D In the top 10 albums, there is only 3 I don't like/own. I'd really like to check out Hikawa Kiyoshi, I have heard nothing but good things. I'm thinking Ketsumeishi could sell a million by the years end, all the other albums have been very consistant in sales [from what I remember]. On a personal note, shame on the people who didn't buy 'How to use SEXY' :lol: imo it's one of the best H!P albums, it doesn't even sound like an idol album, bar the odd chorus. They never promote artists right though, although they make so much money off everything else they probably don't mind the albums never sell well. This week is pretty damn awesome for releases imo. YUI, BoA and SEAMO in singles, and Ai Otsuka, Tokyo Jihen, Foo Fighters and PUFFY in albums. The best week in a while imo. While i'd like to see BoA come out tops in singles, I think YUI will take it. Ai had immense NINKI numbers, i hope that translates into sales :o Hopefully my CDJ order will ship it tommorrow. I hope PUFFY do well also, Japan doesn't seem to care about them anymore :( I will have to wait till next week to order my copy of 'Honeycreeper' unfortunately, but I hope top 20 is obtainable for them.

I like TD&TT :P It's pretty awesome radio 1 are playing Shakira [even if it is only one dj] and it's spanish! - not to mention Pete Tong is a highy popular/respected DJ :D I've always noticed how most of time Shakira gets awesome remixes done.

I dislike her. She shows no emotion and seems to scream her songs out. But each to their own and all that.

Awesome! :D I used to be a huge fan, the Keisha board was my first forum :o

Woah, that tracklist looks pretty awesome. i may have to check it out.

First one I ever listed to was when Spice Girls were #1 with wannabe :o My favourite was when Shakira was #1 with HDL :lol:

''Do It Well'' is vile, just like the person who sings it. As for this, it is the first Sugababes song i've liked since their first album, hopefully #1.

need to add; Album: Angela Aki: TODAY <3

Neo-Soul kind of died a few years ago, but Jill makes some amazing music. I suggest checking out[if you haven't already] Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds vol. 2 - it is wonderful :D

I was going to try to get tickets for Namie's tour for the new year, but I really don't have any clue on how to go about it, plus i'm already going to Japan in the summer, so hopefully there'll be some other tours I want to see by then. I'm so happy on how successful the 'PLAY' era has been for her, and even better it passed 500K on the week of her 30th birthday. I think people took there time to get into BW, I mean for the first week of the single release a 3 month old song [Kiss & Cry] was carrying them both. I hope GReeeeN can follow up, there album is pretty good, although ''Ai Uta'' is the best on it imo. I use YA a lot simply because it was the first online site I used to buy music, so I do trust it. however lately i've been shopping at CDJ, and only going to YA if first presses are sold out, since they take the FP items from the CD's a lot of the time. A lot of people seem to be recieving their CDJ items on the day of release, though surely they must be using EMS :o

I agree, it does seem destined to be an interesting week. Angela didn't even drop 1K on her second day, Ayu increased her lead over THSK, but her sales dropped 5K. It's a shame because T2M as a single is her best since ''MY STORY'' singles - where I'm still not totally into ''Decision'' T2M is awesome Ayu-rock, and The Orchestra Version of ''Fated'' is really nice, a complete improvement on the original :heart: Maki drops to 13 as well :( and the moment we've been waiting for.. 13 *,501,737 **2,020 PLAY / 安室奈美恵 07/06/27 :lol: Can't believe Ai uta is still doing so well on downloads, it's been around for god knows how long, and I expected Hikki to be higher with BW. On another note, I caved in and bought 'TODAY' - I hope it arrives soon, YA can be so slow with orders, it once took 4 weeks for me to recieve a PUFFY album. :lol:

A pretty good weel imo ^_^ Kuu's average sales, Hikki leaping ever closer to the 200K mark, Ayaka staying put [wth increased sales] - and in terms of surprises Perfume is definatelly one :lol: I really hope Ayu can get #1 with TTM [i think she will] simply because it's the best single she has released since pre MU, in my opinion. I think if by the slight chance THSK begin to outsell her, avex will kill off supplies to shops, I don't think they want Ayu's #1 streak ruined. I hate to say this, but Leah Dizons album is actually quite good. Far better than I thought it would be, there are some pretty decent tracks past the not so good singles, such as ''Unmeisen.'' I'm really split on Angela. her 'HOME' album is one of my favourite albums, but the singles from the latest release have really disappointed me. however, I hope she can get #1. I also have blind hope that Goto maki will get top 10, but hopefully top 20 at least :lol:
