No wonder Rock isn't doing well now, I only like two of that list and I definitely wouldn't even class one of them as rock (ASL).

Not everyone bought her album on day one, or illegally downloaded it on the day it leaked.

It will, and then quickly progress to #10. There's no way its going to peak outside the top 10, its already #4 on US iTunes after just a few days video play there.

Katy Perry 32 This is going top 10 easily, only question is how high in the top 10 can it get? Already #4 on US iTunes and only 11% off the top spot there (speaking of which, Adele is about to be knocked off the top of US iTunes after how many weeks sitting on the top of that chart?). This could actually get top 10 on iTunes by close of play on Saturday this week at the rate its going :o Excellent video, I have to say I had a good laugh watching it. So many famous (or semi-famous) faces too :D

I'm hoping to get all the first 18 or so weeks scores up and online here by the end of the week; if not by then then definitely by the middle of next week. Apologies again for the IMMENSE delay. Oh and yay at my win!!! :dance:

Agree and in all cases, both versions should be put up for sale. Each offer different takes on the song and sometimes they're better without the rapper (J-Lo's OTF; The Saturday's Higher) but on other occassions better with the rapper (Jessie's PT [horrendous in the bridge without B.o.B] and Burke's BB). The song you picked there is probably the worst example of this - PT without B.o.B as I stated above is horrendous because of that silly, incandescent La La La at the bridge which makes it sound like a 5 year old is singing the song. There *must* be a market for this given the amount of radio stations (that have good audience impressions) that play the non-rap versions, whether that be an official non-rap version or a station-only mangled version where they've removed the rap themselves. A no-brainer if you ask me, as for presumably minimal effort they will open up the track to a bigger market. Unless artistically the song has been developed with the rapper already in, and creatively the label can't work it back to a non-rap version.

Hmmm not doing so well recently. I REALLY don't like the bonus questions - for example, in the current week (not the week relating to this thread) the bonus questions are pure guesswork, there is no strategy to them at all really.

Delighted to still be top overall having been away in Tenerife. Hoping my results start to improve now though from mid-table mediocrity.

Would have made everyone's life easier if the original of the 4 or 5 posts above had read 60%-67%. Which I happen to agree with. 80% is WAY too high, especially with the overinflated prices charged by iTunes.

The chorus is the only decent part of Judas. The verses are literally just noise. No melody whatsoever and that really puts me off. BTW, on the other hand, is melody driven throughout. I can see the Steps comparison though, never thought of that before. That would have killed their career in an instant though!

Has GaGa's new track been released and impacted the top 1000 yet?
