Sorry my post was a bit vague. I was trying to answer quickly but I couldn't remember the name of the band. IIRC, Shiny Toy Guns made the top 100 with their free single It is rare though, you're right

Totally. In a thread this long you have no idea how annoying it is to scroll through all of these posts to actually find something worth reading.

No to both questions

Another forum I visit has a weekly thread with one update per day and it's much easier to read and understand exactly what's going on. I do think 1 or 2 updates per day would be much better. Of course there's nothing to stop members discussing any other changes that happen between the post of a full update but to make it easier for those who don't follow it religiously there should be one main update post By the way my post wasn't meant to offend those who post the charts. I'm just a making suggestion.

In my opinion there are too many updates. You have to go trailing back through the pages to see a songs true progress up the chart (even from 24hrs ago). A song that in the latest update may only have gone 19-18 may have actually gone 50-34-19-18 in one day but the update doesn't reflect this. I know people are trying to help but sometimes it's actually quite the opposite.

You are all taking this far too seriously. Jeez...

Was there really any point of that update? Minimal changes

Having the same top 10 has always made the entire chart pointless but I doubt they are likely to change it So it will still include airplay?

What about Tinchy Stryder?

It's on an advert, isn't it? I remember hearing it somewhere on TV

What are the popularity bars like now? My iTunes still has Jeff Buckley at 3!!

I'm from Barnstaple

Whereabouts in Devon, I'll try and have a look at some point?

That's a bit subjective. I personally don't have any strong feelings towards the song, but I can at least admit true emotion is evident in his version.

And where would Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah fit into this songwriting argument?

Well it's on play, amazon and HMV. And of course it says to pre-order before January 5th to get the limited edition which means the release can't be too far off

So her album is out in March!

AMAZING.

Alexandra. PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN!

Wonderwall was brilliant and they deserved to stay over Girlband but they were never going to get very far. It's sad they've been totally ignored in the Hero song and video whilst Girlband are all over it

Daily Star report that Diana survived by less than half a percent last week, Alexandra topped the voting but Eoghan is still winning on most weeks http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/61310/Diana-nears-exit/
