Fair nuffs! I'm gonna rate them according to the books AND films you see. But still. She IS Aunt Bessie.

Oooh do we not get Professor Sprouty McSprout Sprout? She only appeared in the CoS films I think but she reminds me of Aunt Bessie.

Epic list ^_^ Will do it later fo sure.

I was thinking of as many as possible. Obviously not obscure ones like the hermaphrodite goblin that sold them sweets or something but you knows.

Very well but I recently inhaled Dumbledore's ashes which means I shall easily win. You go ahead and do it anyway :P

Well I will do it if nobody else wants to, I'm not fussed. ^_^

As long as it you know... It actually gets finished :heehee:

I think the last film is my favourite. Goblet and Order would tie for #2 I feel. Azkaban 4th and then I'm not really sure about the other 4. There wasn't a bad one amongst them but I always preferred the books a lot more. I just can't seem to let Harry go :lol: :( I'm writing essays on the series and taking a module in Children's Literature this year at uni with the sole intention of studying it heh. It feels like you've lost something you've had in your life since you were about 11 (how old I was when I read the first one - I'm now 23 :(). These characters and the world are some of the best I have ever seen explored in a piece of literature and I study literature daily! Most of the great books/movies/tv series I like have one or two characters that leap out of the page and stay with you after you've finished, but with HP I think what's so amazing is that EVERY character does that. I also think we should have like a character rate or something to celebrate the end of such an amazing series.

Oh dear God! :( It's actually REALLY good. Some parts in the verses are just and awful but the chorus makes up for it by like 1000%.

I should think The Wanted at least can be pleased with their sales. They'll have passed 300k by the end of this week. Only their second single to do so. I'd hardly call that 'lucky' because of the quiet charts as of late. They'd have surely fallen a bit faster if they'd been more competition but I doubt the sales would've changed. JLS are the real LUCKY ones. I'd have expected them to have fallen out of the itunes top 10 by now.

LOVE this song. I loathed him a lot when he first released music (I think that was just because he beat Katy Perry to #1 with a WAY below average song) but even that and the cringe-worthy lyrics of TOM are not so bad anymore. I think it's the summer personally. This new one is brilliant though. So damn catchy. I'm really surprised he has been so consistent and successful.

There's clearly more than I thought :heehee: God that I Dream song was dreadful. As was most of the S Club 8 output tbh.

I want Charlie Simpson to get top 40. Has anybody ever had a top 40 single before under three different names? :unsure: (Other than Prince who changes his name like his knickers. Maybe Paul McCartney with Wings, Beatles and himself?)

Duck Sauce for #1! :kink: Just to see the loons go into meltdown.

Pushing past Gaga and P!nk who kept her at bay in 2010, Rihanna is the winner of the BUZZJACK FEMALE SLAMDOWN 2011. Who'd ever have thought that Rihanna would be one of (if not), the biggest pop stars in the world back in 2005 when she released 'Pon De Replay'? She has come a long way since then, changing her style, her image, her boyfriend and she keeps getting bigger and bigger with each era. Just when you think she's going to peak and can't possibly out do her current material, she wheels out another record that does even better than the last. 'Umbrella' will forever remain a favourite of mine, but she makes each album accessible. I could go on and on and on and make a big deal over her achievements but it's fair to say, that she may not be considered the most talented or fascinating artist in the world, but Rihanna is certainly in a league of her own and is fully deserving of the crown in this year's competition. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_76.jpg - Chart History - Pon De Replay If It's Lovin' That You Want SOS Unfaithful We Ride Break It Off (Feat Sean Paul) Umbrella Shut Up & Drive Hate That I Love You (Feat Ne-Yo) Don't Stop The Music Take A Bow Disturbia If I Never See Your Face Again (Maroon 5 Feat Rihanna) Rehab (Feat Justin Timberlake) Live Your Life (T.I Feat Rihanna) Run This Town (Jay Z Feat Kanye West & Rihanna) Russian Roulette Rude Boy Te Amo Love The Way You Lie (Eminem & Rihanna) Only Girl (In The World) What's My Name (Feat Drake) S&M California King Bed Man Down http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/9885146.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/9878575.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1771728.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/RIHANNARATEDR.JPG http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/2752365.JPG _iQRXuAo6Eg

2 5 Beyonce 810 Highest Position: 1 (troylovesmusic, Aled, Leonardo, Theo, Lovett) Bitch Slap(s): 3 (DanieLMFAO, Doug, Big Mistake) Number of Votes: 39 Most Known Hits: Independent Women, Survivor, Bootyliscious, Lose My Breath, Single Ladies, Halo, If I Were A Boy, Crazy In Love, Run The World (Girls), Sweet Dreams, Beautiful Liar http://www.beyoncestar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/beyonce_knowles_30.jpg Well a lot has already been said with regards to Beyonce in this thread, so I'm going to keep my comments brief. She started out in Destiny's Child back in the 1990s and launched a solo career in 2002 with the song 'Work It Out' from the Austin Powers Goldmember movie. Her solo endeavours really took off the following year with one of pop's classic tracks 'Crazy In Love' and her debut solo album both topping the UK charts and achieving huge international success, and since then Beyonce has never looked back. Hits such as 'Irreplaceable', 'Halo', 'Single Ladies', 'Listen', 'If I Were A Boy' and 'Beautiful Liar' have been flung into charts across the globe. And it's not just as a solo artist that Beyonce has gained international recognition, as Destiny's Child are regarded as the biggest selling girlband in the world after the Spice Girls. She has delivered some pretty good songs, though there's nothing in her back catalogue I feel is particularly spectacular, she's also rather hit and miss with her material. A lot more so than any of the other artists in the top 10. I'd say she's my least favourite of the lot tbh, but fair dues to her as she rises to the runner up slot. She led P!nk by over 100 points and also tied with her for the 2nd highest amount of votes. Also Kylie Minogue was the only artist to be placed at #1 by posters than Beyonce. P.S try taking a sip of alcohol everytime she says HALO in the song of the same name. It's a jolly good cunted time. bnVUHWCynig

This may seem weird but Beyonce reminds me a lot of Mariah Carey. Beyonce's material is evidently FAR better but the two of them are considered amongst the greats but looking at their musical output it is really baffling to understand why.

So Beyonce and Rihanna are now going head to head to be crowned this year's winner. Rihanna was 3rd last year whilst Beyonce was 5th but which one of them will be Gaga's successor? I can reveal that they were both over 100 points clear of P!nk. Do I think they're a worthy top 2? Erm nooooos. But I will reveal who has won tomorrow evening from your votes :P 3 2 P!nk 703 4 12 Katy Perry 693 5 8 Britney Spears 672 6 1 Lady Gaga 671 1 7 NE Adele 609 8 3 Kelly Clarkson 597 9 11 Madonna 539 10 7 Kylie Minogue 511 11 6 Alicia Keys 493 12 NE Nicki Minaj 491 13 10 Leona Lewis 489 14 51 Jennifer Lopez 473 15 9 Christina Aguilera 438 16 16 Gwen Stefani 418 17 24 Avril Lavigne 379 18 22 Lily Allen 374 19= 13 Shakira 366 19= 19 Kelly Rowland 366 21 23 Robyn 353 22 NE Nicole Scherzinger 335 23 62 Ke$ha 321 24 35 Kelis 317 25 18 Alexandra Burke 294 26 NE Jessie J 286 27 15 Mariah Carey 278 28 26 Bjork 255 29 33 Florence Welch 237 30 14 Nelly Furtado 235 31 17 Kate Bush 226 32 36 Sophie Ellis-Bextor 223 33 39 Fergie 220 34 48 Amy Lee 217 35 40 Natalie Imbruglia 209 36 29 Diana Vickers 208 37= 30 Pixie Lott 204 37= 54 Celine Dion 204 39 27 Janet Jackson 193 40 44 Ellie Goulding 192 41 43 M.I.A 186 42= 21 Natasha Bedingfield 182 42= 37 Whitney Houston 182 42= 52 Delta Goodrem 182 45 46 Beverley Knight 179 46 32 Alanis Morissette 177 47 48 Ciara 176 48 NE Janelle Monae 171 49= 41 Shania Twain 162 49= 20 Anastacia 162 51 63 Marina Diamondis 161 52 69 Alison Goldfrapp 149 53 31 Amy Winehouse 147 54 42 Carrie Underwood 143 55 74 Brandy 142 56 38 Taylor Swift 138 57= NE Diana Ross 136 57= NE Aaliyah 136 59= NE Selena Gomez 135 59= 75 Paloma Faith 135 61 53 Little Boots 133 62 25 Hayley Williams 132 63 58 Bat For Lashes 131 64 96 Tina Turner 130 65 91 Gabrielle 125 66 NE Nerina Pallot 121 67 68 Keri Hilson 118 68 34 Miley Cyrus 117 69 45 Jordin Sparks 116 70 57 Shirley Manson 112 71 NE Barbra Streisand 106 72= 60 Annie Lennox 103 72= NE Alexis Jordan 103 74 90 Alesha Dixon 102 75 67 Gabriella Cilmi 100 76 86 Lykke Li 99 77 65 Jennifer Hudson 96 78 NE PJ Harvey 92 79 27 Cheryl Cole 90 80 NE JoJo 89 81 NE Jamelia 86 82 78 Santigold 80 83 71 Dusty Springfield 74 84 NE Inna 73 85 NE Nadine Coyle 72 86 NE Natalie Horler 70 87= NE Mutya Buena 68 87= NE Katy B 68 89 92 Beth Gibbons 64 90 71 Mary J Blige 63 91 NE Laura Marling 59 92 NE Wynter Gordon 56 93 96 Colbie Caillat 53 94 79 Sheryl Crow 47 95 NE Christina Milian 40 96 NE Natalia Kills 37 97 NE Alison Moyet 36 98 NE Cassie 30 99 NE Shingai Shoniwa 25 100 NE Shontelle 16 101 NE Agnes 11

3 2 P!nk 703 Highest Position: 1 (GrAmii) Bitch Slap(s): 0 Number of Votes: 39/51 Most Known Hits: So What, Just Like A Pill, Trouble, Who Knew, Perfect, Don't Let Me Get Me, Family Portrait http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rBYzEodZ0P0/TT1ifuJSDII/AAAAAAAAB9Y/8MK_ih9wT7k/s400/pink.jpg Well with the P!nk debate going on currently, I feel a bit defeated in my mission to provide commentary on her :lol: Then again I am so bored of commentary :( P!nk is probably my favourite artist ever (who isn't a rock band). She continues to perform strongly on this countdown despite many people writing her off, she got very consistent votes (joint 2nd highest amount). I'm so glad she ditched the hideous RnB sound she adopted for her first record back in 2000. She's delivered album after album and is clearly comfortable when she can truly unleash her personality. Her songs are honest and touching - she's tackled masturbation, self hatred, self harm, politics, death, angst, drugs, hookers and erm Jessica Simpson stealing her table. P!nk may be overlooked by a lot of people but she's not fake. She's honest and her music reflects that. She'll never be able to stand up to the likes of Britney, Madonna, Kylie, Gaga et al all who have their huge domineering followings and have undeniably the image and controversy to go along with their music, but she certainly holds her own. P!nk is currently said to working on studio album #6. I personally think it will show evolution. I think the greatest hits tracks were 'safe' because they were only for a GH. She didn't need to release anything that blows pop apart. For me 'Perfect' is her best song since 'Who Knew' anyways. NJWIbIe0N90

4 12 Katy Perry 693 Highest Position: 2 Bitch Slap(s): 2 (03mj2808, 152 Chris) Number of Votes: 34 Most Known Hits: I Kissed A Girl, California Gurls, Firework, Teenage Dreams, Hot n Cold http://i.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/katy_perry-sucker.jpg I'm not going to pretend that Katy Perry is the most talented singer in the world. We all know that's false. She's very much of 'the now', but if she keeps churning out albums like 'Teenage Dream', she's going to be on top of the charts for a long time to come... Perry was originally a gospel singer but rose to notoriety with 'I Kissed A Girl' back in 2008 with its controversial lyrics. 'Hot N Cold' followed and collaborations with Timbaland and 3Oh!3 kept Katy in the spotlight whilst she geared up to release her second album. 'California Gurls' has became her biggest track to date kicking off the 'Teenage Dream' campaign and seeing the singer score 4 consecutive #1 hits in the US, with the possibility of a 5th if 'Last Friday Night' can ever overthrow LMFAO... Despite the singles and 'Self Inflicted' from her debut album, I was very underwhelmed, but didn't really think she'd ever become as massive as she currently is. She's definitely at the top of her game right now alongside Rihanna and there's only one track I'm not too keen on with regards to TD ('Who Am I Living For'). She doesn't break any boundaries or try and pretend that she's creating music that will change the face of the Earth but TD is pure and perfect pop. 'Firework' still makes me orgasm but it's not just the singles that draw me to the record. After seeing Perry live, I'm also quite attached. She wasn't half as bad as I expected. Her huge climb is evidently due to the brilliant year she's had. Now let's just see if she can keep it up for the release of album #3. Perry is also the highest placed artist to not be placed at #1 in anybody's chart. Oh and apparentlys she's just had her hair done erm pink... QGJuMBdaqIw

Hope JOH can get top 10 before the weekend! Shocked at how far Example and Derulo have fallen even if they do have another version.

Oooh interesting! I'm already optimistic about the new CW head. I mean a couple of extra episodes here and there isn't the second coming but the huge amounts of repeats they put in definitely batters their ratings a lot. Between this and 'Ringer' and 'The Secret Circle' they could do quite well this year. If only now they'd pull out one of their failed pilots for a mid season order and not some second rate reality crap to bridge the gap between ANTM.
