Snow Spiider

Neither was I in the first half - I had a good week then a terrible week, I was alternating between winning and then bottom half.

We were, you were ahead in the first half for ages, I didn't think I would be able to catch you :o

Complete opposite for me this (2nd) half compared to last (1st) half - this time I've not managed to win a solitary game but am top of the overall leaderboard, whereas by this point in the first half of the year I'd won 5 games but was stuck in 2nd! :o oddness :o

Of course it will have a rap-free edit - at least for radio, so as not to put off Heart and R2 from playing it. Whether it will be available to buy is another thing altogether. I'm surprised you don't like the rap on this though - its kind of a nerdy-type rap, nothing like JayZ or anyone like that with multiple swear words and/or censored references - its actually quite a "cute" rap IMO.

Leona can't be far off 2, or even 3, on singles with AMLT and Run.

Ok, just get off your high horse and listen to the song (objectively if that is possible). It has an Unfinished Sympathy vibe/beat to it.

Its brilliant, with oddly the best bit on my first listen being Childish Gambino, who captured the mood of the song perfectly. I think an easy 4th #1 for her unless something absolutely massive is out that week also. Its way more commercial than Happy and that sold 80-odd-k in a 3 year old sales climate. And you are right, Collide was a mess. With a chart run to prove it.

Um, where and at what time on Tuesday? :o Have to say when I first saw the words Childish Gambino I thought "who" and what a ludicrous name (whatever play on words it is is simply lost on me) but ... having watched that link Karma posted I'm (despite thinking he looks like a cheap Cashley) pleasantly surprised. Has he had any hits of note?

Like what?

Carly #4 on YTD radio next week :cheer: Maroon please FOAD. What song is #3 on TV next week?

Go Rita (despite the rubbish chanting). She's also performing on Jonathan Ross' series opener on Saturday.

Wonder if their label is holding out for an X Factor performance to launch the album, before deciding when to release it (now or November).

Woooo! Finally a win in this game! :cheer: Still can't get ahead of Jason or SevenSeize though :(

Coldplay & Rihanna finally back to 99p, I think this might drop a bit now. FEM/CD also seem to have been pushed back up to 99p.

I just can't seem to get ahead of u in either this or Suedeheads game! I also echo ur comment - thanks for running this game Ben, I know from experience in the other game how much work it involves so huge thanks for continuing to run it, devise weekly questions and post the results.

The Mariah single is fantastic! :o Is the Vintage remix available in the UK?
