    Or when they ask about a massive hit from 1995 and the contestant says "oh that's too recent for me, Ken"
  7. Also now confirmed for June 26, a 9 CD + 1 DVD boxset https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0886YXQ3J/ref=...g=tapatalk02-20 The vinyl set is called All That She Wants: The Classic Albums and the CD set is called All That She Wants: The Classic Collection. This is a proper UK release btw, through Demon.

    Best way to do it by the way is download the app - then you can scan the barcodes to add them to your collection

    Yeah I'm about a third of the way through cataloging my collection on Discogs. It's quite useful when I go charity shopping because sometimes I can't remember whether I've got something already, or if I got rid of it years ago, or if I thought about buying it recently but didn't actually buy it etc. Also fun to create a Wishlist on there. I've got about 3000 on there now. I probably won't ever buy them all but it's useful to know what's out there that I don't have.. and every now and again I'll treat myself on a Discogs spending spree LD
  16. What strikes me is that a lot of these songs are up-beat timeless pop songs that could've worked in almost any era, from a music & lyrics point of view. That really is the key to a real hit. It's not about chasing a trend. The public just want a hooky melody and a catchy lyric. A lot of these songs will still be getting played in 30 years time.
  17. I don't mind when they do like a signed CD or a vinyl or one with a free 7" single or something like that, but when they're doing 5 different types of cassette (which mostly won't be listened to) I think it's taking the mick.

    There is the Indie Breakers Chart already https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/indep...breakers-chart/

    Yes, I've thought for a while we need new genre charts for new songs only. I'd also like songs older than a few years banned from the Top 100 and a Catalogue Chart started
  20. New Ace of Base boxset https://www.demonmusicgroup.co.uk/catalogue...coloured-vinyl/
  21. LOL at "instrumental of Hung Up". You mean "Gimme Gimme Gimme"?

    It really is bonkers isn't it? I understand that they test everything to death and they don't like taking chances, but surely a little more variety in the new music wouldn't hurt.

    About as true as Engelbert Humperdinck's claim that he's sold 100 million records
  24. That Brexit song is neither funny nor melodic.
  25. The video
