17 vs 17, and still another 2 days to go! Glad this topic has been a success

They would, yes, but would acts, even if it was just a video, like Radiohead or Shakespears Sister who recently re-entered the top 40 get a spot? Or maybe Bon Jovi with their album entering the top 3 and livin' on a prayer re-entering the top 75. Not to mention The Beatles (obviously a video would be shown) but with about 7 songs all in the top 75, 2 of which were in the top 40, plus 2 albums in the album chart, would they get a spot? I doubt it!

I see your point, but maybe they could do that on a spin-off show, now there's BBC3 and ITV2 or E4, a sort of chat to the artists show. I really liked the fact that TOTP was all about the performances and a chart run-down with no interruptions. It's like X-Factor VT's and the chats, 4 contestants left, 8 songs - you can play 8 songs in half an hour or so. If you include the judges comments and a couple of ad-breaks you could have the show over in 50 mins, why 2 hours for it??

5 - X Factor Finalists - Hero 4 - Rihanna - Only Girl In The World 3 - Nicole Scherzinger - Poison 2 - Cheryl Cole - Promise This 1 - McFly - Shine A Light

I remember this from a while back so I thought I'd see how people felt about a return I have chosen 2 songs that are popular and present, either in the chart or talked about future releases, just vote for your favourite, after 3 days the song with the most votes will face a new song that I choose, again either a song from the top end of the chart or a future release. To start us off it's Rihanna's 'Only Girl (In The World)' vs. Ellie Goulding's 'Your Song' So, get voting everyone, let's see who our first winner is!

I'd rather not see interviews, I'm not interested on rumours and what they had for breakfast and who they're dating! It's all about the music!!

As much as I LOVED TOTP and shows like CD:UK, if Simon Cowell is behind it I can't see me liking it, full of former contestants from X-Factor, American Idol and any other reality show he's been part of, you can forget bands that made it on their own! Only exceptions might be acts from his record label (majority are from reality shows anyway)

I subscribed a few years ago for 1 year, then stopped as I had other things I had to be doing and didn't have much time to follow music let alone read CP, however I have just subscribed for 4 weeks as a trial, not sure with this new price coming up if I'll continue as I am also saving up for my wedding, however we will see as I really enjoy seeing the other charts and no.s 101-200, amazing some of the songs that are hovering under the top 100! Will be a tough decision to make :(

Thanks, just tested it with the sample edition of C+ and it works fine, have subscribed for one month as a trial period, can't wait!!

I used to subscribe to C+ and am thinking of doing so again now, one problem for me though, my computer doesn't recognise all pdf files, some work and some don't! I don't want to pay for something I'm not going to be able to read, I've downloaded adobe on my laptop but it's very hit and miss. Is there another format you can open C+ in??

WELCOME TO THE ARTISTS CHART!! Welcome to week 3 of this chart, made up from a points system, whichever artist is at no.1 receives 100 points, down to 1 point for no. 100. This chart takes into account both the singles and album charts. If 2 artists feature on 1 song then both artists receive points and in the result of a tie for a place, the artist who has the higher chart position with a song or album will be above the other. TOP 30 ARTISTS 01. 06. RIHANNA - 429 02. 22. The Beatles - 419 03. 01. Katy Perry - 319 04. 23. Take That - 305 05. 02. Tinie Tempah - 280 06. 04. The Wanted - 216 07. ---- Pink - 211 08. 08. Eminem - 207 09. 03. Cheryl Cole - 201 10. 05. Taio Cruz - 177 11. ---- McFly - 173 12. ---- Nelly - 172 13. 07. Kings Of Leon - 168 14. 15. The Script - 167 15. ---- JLS - 163 16. 11. Michael Buble - 163 17. ---- Shayne Ward - 163 18. 13. Adele - 161 19. 09. Cee-Lo Brown - 161 20. 20. Robbie Williams - 160 21. 10. James Blunt - 156 22. ---- Tinchy Stryder - 152 23. 16. Bruno Mars - 148 24. 14. Susan Boyle - 137 25. 18. The Saturdays - 131 26. 26. Flo Rida - 123 27. ---- Elton John - 123 28. 21. BoB - 119 29. 24. Devlin - 112 30. 25. Rod Stewart - 108 So it's all change at the top this week, with Rihanna's album out she takes pole position from Katy Perry, and with The Beatles now available on iTunes they take second place with 2 albums and an amazing 10 singles in the charts!! Lots of change and shake ups, with 7 new entries we say goodbye to the following artists...... 33. 17. Ne-Yo 36. 27. Black Eyed Peas 41. 12. Bon Jovi 50. 30. Will I Am 51. 19. Nicki Minaj 54. 28. Swedish House Mafia 87. 29. Kylie Minogue Once again well done to Rihanna for getting the top spot and to The Beatles and Take That with big climbs into the Top 5! Bad news for Kylie, dropping out all the way down to #87! Check back next week to see if Rihanna holds on, or could The Beatles climb after the dedication theme night on X-Factor??

Completely agree, I like the song, but I think it is very overrated, her voice is just TOO soft for it.

1. Travie McCoy ft. Bruno Mars - Billionaire 2. Yolanda Be Cool ft. D Cup - We Speak No Americano 3. Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song 4. Rihanna - Rude Boy 5. Roll Deep - Green Light 6. BoB ft. Bruno Mars - Nothing On You 7. Timbaland ft. Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again 8. Plan B - She Said 9. Glee Cast - Don't Stop Believing 10. Eminem - Not Afraid

Thanks for the breakdown, very interesting! I thought it only came out this year lol!

Do you know where it peaked originally?

Ah, ok sorry, didn't mean to tread on your toes!

Not sure if people remember but a while back there was a thread where the Top 40 singles were listed and people posted their least favourite, when a song had 3 votes in succession it was eliminated from the list, 5 votes when it got to the final 10 and then first to 7 votes between the final 2 (not necessarily successive at that point). I left the site for a while and when I returned the game had gone, if I brought it back starting next Monday morning, would people be interested??

Will be No.3 on Sunday 1 - JLS 2 - Take That 3 - ELLIE GOULDING 4 - Rihanna 5 - Katy Perry

Yea, I doubt it would make a difference, if you look at the main chart and the download only chart, they're more or less identical these days
