Joe McElderry confirmed that 'Someone Wake Me Up' is his next single during his performance at G-A-Y.

I really love Ambitions, but can't help but wonder if he would be selling better if Wide Awake or Superman was the lead single. Either way, the album is very good. I hope it's not a total flop.

Let's just hope the 'new version' doesn't mean guest rapper this time.

Don't know if it's the record but: 15/04/2000 Lonestar Amazed 24-23-30-36-32-30-28-26-{21}-23-22-22-21-26-30-35-37>17 weeks

Perhaps they are doing the Boney M song that it samples?

It says on iTunes: ''To protect the intergrity of the X Factor competition, sales information in relation to the live contestant performances from the current season of X Factor will not be reflected in any published sales chart.''

They're all out on October 3rd if Play and Amazon are anything to go by.

October 3rd seems to be a huge day for new releases. Robbie/Gary, Cee-Lo, Kings of Leon and Swedish House Mafia vs Tinie Tempah. All new top 4 perhaps?

Glee isn't back on in the UK until January.

Week ending 7th August

I'm expecting quite a lot of Empire State of Mind II and Don't Stop Believing

Joe McElderry has revealed that the direction of his upcoming debut album changed dramatically after recording one of his new tracks. The 19-year-old told Metro that he would be opting for a "casual, fun, young, smart, not suits and things" look for the album's release. "The direction before was a great direction," he said. "Then we did one song and it changed the whole album." He added: "Now we have new songs in. It's such a modern kind of style and gone down much pop-ier and up tempo." The X Factor has confirmed that he has been working with producers who have previously worked with artists including Rihanna, Pussycat Dolls and Enrique Iglesias. Yesterday, McElderry announced that the still-untitled LP will be released on October 25. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a26...e-up-tempo.html He's also confirmed that he'll be launching the album at G-A-Y on October 23rd

Definately not. I've always hated them. Some people don't want the chart spoilt and by having them there it instantly removes the choice to view the midweeks/i-tunes chart.

Yeah #2 seems to be her favourite position

I'm really hoping that's as far as the sample goes

samples The Sound of Music apparently, produced by Steve Mac

I don't think it made a difference to be honest. Record Store Day was 10 days ago and the Ash single wasn't released to celebrate the day. Besides, it's bound to be very frontloaded and it's low top 40 on the first set of midweeks so it's highly unlikely it will hold on until the end of the week.

Britain's Got Talent is back on TV this evening so that could also throw up a few suprises

Having just read the story, it seems like it's a Radio 1 chart not an official chart. Maybe the OCC are planning on moving the official chart elsewhere so Radio 1 need a replacement? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...l#ixzz0l23XmSfq

She said it was an exclusive track from her album though, not a single.

Keane's song was added on Thursday but it's taken this long to make an appearance
