Leave the Dirty Dancing song alone! :angry: That's such a guilty pleasure of mine. However, it is completly irrelevant and horrible in this song. It sounds like a cheesier, messier and totally random version of 'Boom Boom Pow' which in itself was rather schizophrenic, yet at the same time there is something about it that makes it GOOD. :(

I think this week might be the first week I get bored of Matt. I hate that song :( It's been done so many times and isn't even that good. Same goes for 'Make You Feel My Love'. Watch Adele shoot back up the chart again grrrr. I can't wait to hear Aiden :D He was a bit shaky in the first couple of weeks after 'Mad World' but he turned it around last week. He really needs something outstanding or he will be outsted by Rebecca, One Direction, Matt and Cher methinks. If it's a double eviction I predict Wagner and TreyC/Katie/Paije to go out. Wagner is so OVER now. It's not even funny anymore :( Katie doing an actual PROPER song for once shopuld be interesting too. I want to like her but I just can't but maybe she will win me over like Cher did last week. Cheryl seems to have chosen a song that suits her voice anyway. And finally ONE MASSIVE KELSEY SIZED :lol: at One Direction.

The Pogues losing out to The Pet Shop Boys Always On My Mind :o I do love that song but it's a shame The Pogues have never been #1 - ditto for Wham! and Mariah considering their massive popularity.

I also hope P!nk can at least scrape top 5 next week. I've hardly heard/seen anything about it ANYWHERE which worries me. I'm sure the Greatest Hits will shift bucketloads though.

Nadine Coyle - the evil hag that tried to kill Cinderella [Cheryl Cole]. Now all we need is Sarah Harding to pop up from obscurity to play the Fairy Godmother and Nicola to be the pumpkin that gets turned into Cheryl's carriage taking her all the way to American domination. I'm not being cruel btw - I do think it's a combination of Nadine's awful and outdated song, the Tescos exclusive business, lack of promotion and the fact that the media are a bit harsh on her that has caused her to underperform. Like it or not, it's not just talent that makes it in the industry and Cheryl has the high profile, weekly promotion, better material and countless coloumn inches to her advantage. And Promise This pwns Insatiable.

The Christmas chart is now mainly an homeage to The X Factor :( Moreso than the weeks leading up to it. Songs performed on the final, acts who appear on the final. Acts that use the audience viewership to have a stupid 'audience' with show straight after it, crappy campaigns to try and beat the X Factor without realising they are doing the exact same thing as said show... That's all that makes up the Xmas chart now :( I loved 2003. The songs were a bit naff but it had so many contenders [bo Selecta!, Darkness, Atomic Kitten, Blue, Cheeky Girls, Mad World, Sugababes, Kelly & Ozzy, Pop Idols etc]. That was the last truly awesome Xmas chart battle imo.

Well this is easily the most offensive thing to reach my ears in like EVER.

I'm going to add to the 'it sounds like Dancing On My Own' pile. That's not a bad thing though. I just, I don't hate it, I just find her vocals too whiny [even for her unusual singing voice]. It's growing on me though. I can see top 20 easily but I'm unsure about the top 10.

There's a lot of 11 track albums around atm :( You'd think with how much time away all artists [except Rihanna] spend on their records they could include more songs. I like the sound of what I've heard from this album so far though. I definately think this is the best and most tolerable McFly have been since their first record - they should've changed to this style a hell of a lot sooner.

The XF songs usually climb up again after the Sunday morning repeat of Saturday's show I've noticed... I think that Alexis Jordan song is horrible. Only listened to it last night after I saw how well it was doing and I can only say 'WHY?' :mellow: Has to be one of the most surprising and dreadful top 10 hits of the year. I love 'Stay' <3 Hate to see it but the mini chav of Chavdonia won me over last night [until she goes back to rapping next week that is].

They have the #1 single and album in the bag. Their biggest threat is P!nk on both weeks if you look. I honestly think sales for both are going to be through the roof. Wouldn't be surprised if 'Progress' did over half a million in its opening week. I've never seen/read so much hype for an album.

These are the sort of campaigns we need. ACTUAL Christmas songs back at the top of the charts for the festive period. So what if it isn't against The fiX Factor? If it beats it, it doesn't matter either way :P I personally am going to back it and send the link to all my friends on FB because it's a far better song choice than that silence crap. And yes I do see the irony of that. It's stupid.

I don't see them having the final on Boxing Day. A lot of people would be out rather than home? Either way it's a pretty awesome stratergy but they wouldn't get guest stars on over the festive period. I think they'll be a couple more double eliminations thrown in along the way for it to finish on 12th and the winner's single out in time for the Christmas chart which will be the 19th. I'm backing The Pogues for Xmas #1. Deserves it after all the times it's been top 10 :lol:

Glee have two albums out before the end of the year. A best of Season 1 and a Christmas record. Plus it'll build momentum for the second series. Such a shame E4 are idiots and are waiting to air it until January. They could've had a gold mine on their hands if they'd started earlier and gone on The X Factor.

That's pathetic! I want to like this band as their album is pretty solid but they just make my stomach recoil at their horrific stunts. They already have teenage girls up and down the country on their knees practically hyper ventilating at their mere existence [my sister is proof of this]. Joe's album is fantastic and grows on me the more I listen to it. I hope he stays at #2. Disappointing for Charlotte Church but my love affair with her is over - she's had zilch promotion, has been flogging it on QVC and well it's pretty awful :(

I want Aiden to do some Evanescence or My Chemical Romance but they're not X Factor friendly bands are they? :lol: I think Wagner should sing The Automatic. 'Vat's dat coming over a hill - it's a monstah!' How epic would that be? <3

I think 150k. It was never going to outsell FFTL. That song is a classic and is just frickin awesome. PT whilst listenable is a bit bleh. That said I'm not thinking much of Rihanna's new one either. I must be the only person that thinks she has far better material and this is just a bit Guetta-lite. Kudos to both though. Should be the first week we have 2 100kers since last Christmas time :-)

Hmmm The Wanted at #2 is a dead cert I think. I wouldn't underestimate McElderry being an easy top 5 and them bombing down the chart liike his single. Taylor Swift & that horrible Soldiers malarkie could be high up to. Definately KOL for #1 again, even if their sales halved from last week they're still looking at 90k.

Other than Helping Haiti I think Katy Perry has the record with 126k or something along those lines? Cheryl should easily beat that I'm thinking. I'm more interested in the albums this week and how they line up...

Clearly getting Louis Walsh as your mentor is the kiss of death. His acts always seem to be shot in the foot it seems. He's a vile man -_-

This is a pretty solid album! Literally 5 or 6 songs are outstanding compared to that hideous second single. I'm very impressed. Lose My Mind & Replace My Heart are my favourite so far. Let's Get Ugly sounds hilariously like a Backstreet Boys/A1 reject from about 10 years ago :heehee:

SYCO are so lazy :( It's like they don't even bother trying with some of their artists. Has their actually been a SYCO related album released that doesn't include a cover version or a song sampling something else? I think Overcome is the only one I can think of...

Possible Ne-Yo, Hoobastank and Belinda Carlisle covers there :heehee: If they can go an entire album without at least ONE cover or sampled song I will be VERY shocked...

Oh I do agree. I didn't want to mention Cher as she just makes me feel ill and has since the first time I saw her. I find nothing talented about her at all. People are just all in love with her because she's doing what hasn't been done on TXF before. In reality she is dreadful compared to 95% of the genre she is trying to represent and is a lot worse than at least 5 other contestants. I just struggle to see any appeal at all. She will undoubtedly sell records and that's obviously al that matters to Cowell. The judges are a waste of space. They should become poster people for subliminal manipulation. The only one I can listen to without wanting to throw things at the screen is Dannii Minogue.

If anybody has forgettable performances its Rebecca. She is amazingly talented and a fantastic singer/person but I just feel her songs are so one trick pony-ish and aren't really making her stand out for me as much as she did before the live shows. Nice to see the right person went.
