Corey & The Chicken

Dancing In The Moonlight - also by a band called High Broom on Island label released at the same time as King Harvest Tarkan's version of Kiss Kiss was a massive hit all over mainland Europe in 1998 it was called Sidikim Lulu - Shout -- original by Isley Brothers

Philip Schofield spoils this show. God! he's everywhere on TV and he's a really awful presenter and so patronising - Dare I say it worse than Dermot O'Dreary

Where do you think Avril will chart on UK release of What The Hell I like it and I think it deserves a high chart placing (and she's cute) r195B1lirgo

Personally I don't like charts that include airplay, much like the Billboard Hot 100 I would prefer to have seperate Sales/Download charts and Airplay charts.

Well it's a million times better than $h!tney's

How's Simon (and maybe Cheryl) going to mentor both in the UK & US at the same time <_<

Back to that stupid Glee rubbish again :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

No - I emailed them and told me that as from 2011 the Billboard Eurocharts will include airplay or be ended. This is the new Pan-European chart compiled by Pan-Europe Express which is for sales & download only. It also incorporates more countries such as Estonia, Ukraine, Hungary, Macedonia and Slovakia. They were hoping that Russia, Lithuania, Croatia & Slovenia would be included as well but they only produce Airplay charts so don't qualify.

European Singles Sales/Download only chart (NO AIRPLAY) has now been extended to Top 200 It is compiled from the singles sales & downloads from the following countries: Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Belgium (Walloon), Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Estonia, France, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Holland, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Ukraine. The chart is HERE

I've got loads from 60s & 70s Can't play them though as my stylus is knackered and I don't know where I can get one

Only 63 - He died with liver disease due to excessive drinking. Baker Street - love the haunting sax. It's from the brilliant album City To City which I have. Not many people know this but before Stealers Wheel he used to be part of a duo with Billy Connolly called the Humblebums. Stealers Wheel had 3 hits Stuck In The Middle With You (later covered by Louise Redknapp) Everything Will Turn Out Fine Star He had a few solo hits including: Baker Street Get It Right Next Time Right Down The Line Night Owl Here's a couple of Gerry's hits Baker Street OPxs212oAyU Stealers Wheel - Everything Will Turn Out Fine bOkSEIJ3v5k

Does anyone know that Nicole Scherzinger started out the same way as Cheryl Cole. She started out in the American version of Popstars in 2001 after winning a place as a member of the formed group Eden's Crush The band hit #1 in the US with Get Over Yourself. They toured in support of both *NSync and Jessica Simpson. Later however, their record company, London-Sire Records, folded and the group eventually disbanded. In November 2007, Scherzinger spoke of her time in Eden's Crush: It was hell. I was in a band with five other girls and every day was torture for me. We were on TV all the time and the atmosphere was awful. Every day I was in that band I cried my eyes out. The band was meant to be fun and frivolous but the reality was that it was miserable. I was too sensitive back then, but I got toughened up. I couldn't have gone into the Dolls without my experience in Crush. After they group disbanded she made a few appearances as Nicole Kea and the rest is history. Here's that Eden's Crush hit pw3mnPidMjg

Roberto "Bobby" Alfonso Farrell died in the morning of 30 December in a hotel in Saint Petersburg, Russia, after performing with his band the evening before. He was 61. He was a dancer and performer, best known as the the deep voiced male member of the successful 1970s pop and disco group Boney M. Farrell left Aruba at age 15 to become a sailor. He lived in Norway and the Netherlands before moving to Germany. There, he worked mostly as a DJ until producer Frank Farian spotted him for his new Boney M. group. He became the sole male singer in the group, although Farian later revealed that Bobby made almost no vocal contributions to the group's records, with Farian himself performing the male parts on the songs in the studio. Liz Mitchell claimed that only she and Farian had sung on the hit recordings. Farrell did, however, perform live in some of the various incarnations of 'Boney M'. He appeared as a dancer in late 2005 in the Roger Sanchez videoclip of Turn on the Music. Farrell lived in Amsterdam Zuidoost, in the neighbourhood Gaasperdam. The cause of death is still unknown. The band achieved 14 UK hits between 1977 & 1981 plus 2 megamixes but had even more hits in mainland Europe. Their biggest hit was historic chartwise. Rivers Of Babylon peaked at #1 and when it finally dropped to #21 the single was flipped and Brown Girl In The Ring started to climb again peaking at #2. It was also the UKs 5th biggest selling single in history selling 1.9 million. RIP Bobby http://www.worldcharts.co.uk/images/boney.jpg

Love those in BOLD - the rest are crap

Definatley a wrong choice of winner. Mark Cavendish, Jess Ennis or Amy Williams should have won it - not a stupid jockey. But thank goodness for small mercies - at least a boring golfer didn't win. I think this years show was the worst for years. It was mainly about boring golf. A sport that's as exciting as watching paint dry. Great to see Frank Williams getting the honour he deserved years ago.

Stuart should have gone last week instead of Liz The 2 finalists should have been Liz & Joanne/Jamie Excuse Me - how old is Stuart again!!!

Leona by miles with Alex second - don't like any of the others one little bit. I love Leona's voice and her music - Alex is OK but she's to R&B for my taste. Most of her output has been collaborations.

I agree with you - It's Rebecca that could have a great career and do as well as Leona and better than Alex (as she has not got international recognition). If someone takes Rebecca over to the US to be produced by Mr. Davis then she could have a great international career. I sincerely hope it happens because she's not just a great singer, she's so down to earth and she will never forget her humble roots.
