Beyonce's chart peaks a looking better now

can anyone else hear "quishmush" instead of "christmas"?

YAH! #19!

YAH! Girls Aloud - The Promise has climbed!

Can they stop with this song now

Its a bit yawn fest. Like your drunk dad singing at a wedding when nearly everyone has gone home

1st time i've heard the original - i don't really like it.

WOO! Girls Aloud - The Loving Kind in the top 40 already!

Hi all! Just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone!!! (And in the retro - 1998 was the best!)

Would there even be a campaign?

I was just about to say that some of the hatred comes from fans of the Jeff Buckley version, wanting to keep it underground and then i read this: " I am against the commercialisation of Jeff Buckley as much as I am against what Simon Cowell stands for Buckley has been and should always be a niche artist who should be in the collections of purists of fine music and REAL music fans, now thanks to this campaign and Cowell we are going to have Jeff Buckley in the record collections of Westlife and McFly fans and so on who do not deserve the genius of Buckley in their record collections" (sorry, i don't know how to multi-quote)

Cos no one knew it was lining Cowell's pockets. Yes there is gonna be a lot of people that brought it because they love that version, but I'm sure there was a fair amount of people who brought it to spite Simon. No one knows eachothers buying habbits. And The Sun did jump on the bandwagon when it got afloat and I'm sure they've helped a fair amount of sales also. It seems like all good intentions always end up tainted by something

I couldn't help but laugh when i was on the train last night coming home from work, cos i grabbed the London Lite paper and began reading through it - and it said that Simon Cowell had brought the rights to the Halleuljah song, which means not only is he making money out of Alexandra's version, but also Jeff Buckley and the other one floating around. So all those people that have brought Jeff Buckley as a two fingers at Simon - have gone and made him even richer!

I thought they were under Island? Confused

It looks like it should be half-a-million by the end of next week!

Wednesday 19th December - Midweek sales: 5 Girls Aloud 43.9k - means the album is over he 400,000 mark!!!!

Wednesday 19th December - Midweek sales: 5 Girls Aloud 43.9k - means the album is over he 400,000 mark!!!!

They probably mean its shipped 600,000 to stores, which by the looks of things - with Out of Control up #5 in the midweeks - looks like its gonna be snapped up fast!

So, its passed Sound of the Underground - officially, I'm guessing its passed Chemistry, and i think it could pass Tangled Up by the end of the week! OH YEAH!

WOO!!! Over the 300K mark!!! Knew they would do it last week! And The Promise is stuck at #20 in the midweeks and The Loving Kind is up to #35!

They are insane not trying to maximise sales

ITV news has said that she's had the fastest-selling download EVER!!!

It'll be just under 7K as The Saturday's album is 1 place behind them and their sales are 6,600 and something, and the #75 album is 7,200

I'm not sure if the r/c company or the Sugababes themselves are thinking like that. Overloaded and Change sold well, but compared to AWDF, Three and TIMW, the sales aren't really up there. I'm sure Overloaded wasn't minded too much, but I really thought the sales of Change would match those of their other albums. Now with C+S, it just feels a bit deflating. (and I am a fan of both Sugas and GA before i get slaughtered) But, this is about Girls Aloud, and yes i am really happy with the new record contract (I wonder how much its worth?)

WOO!!! Its gonna be top 40 this week by the looks of things!
