Why are older acts now doing well on i-tunes?
I skipped downloading completely. Never felt comfortable spending my hard earned cash on a digital file. I used to buy CDs, now I stream. I'm 28 so don't know if I fall into mature audiences or a younger person. :lol: It does make me sad that I now have almost zero contribution to the charts.

Witness • Fourth Studio Album
Any ideas if the 17 track deluxe version can be found in the UK? From what i've read online it's only available from certain shops in certain countries?

OCC: P!nk's Best Selling Singles
I love that this list contains a great mix of tracks from throughout her career. One of the few acts to have had a pretty steady run of success over her 15 years. Pretty impressive!! I just wish the mighty God is a DJ was given a look in!

Albums which were saved by subsequent singles?
Garbages first album. It entered at 12 and then hovered in the lower ends of the chart until Stupid Girl was released. It then spent 7 weeks in the top 10 :dance:

Hit singles named after the performer
I think it was just a b-side, but Girls Aloud once recorded a song called Girls Allowed. Pet Shop Boys also covered a song called 'We're the Pet Shop Boys' as the b-side to Miracles. Neither of them were hit singles though :lol:

The most interesting/weirdest/shocking/etc. chart runs ever
Garbage - Shut Your Mouth 20 - Out :cry: Also a mention to the Eurythmics - not a chart run, but chart placings - Apart from #7 they have peaked at every spot between #1 and #12 with only one single. Quite a rare feat i'd imagine. #1 - There Must be an Angel #2 - Sweet Dreams #3 - Who's That Girl #4 - Sexcrime #5 - Thorn in My Side #6 - Love is a Stranger #8 - Here Comes the Rain Again #9 - Sisters are doing it for themselves #10 - Right By Your Side # 11 - I Saved the World Today # 12 - It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)

Songs that shouldn't have reached the top 10.
Nicklebacks Rockstar. One of the worst tracks of the last decade imo :(

Glee invades iTunes - Are you a gleek?
I love the version of Crush on the soundtrack and hoped it would do really well when released, but when it came to the episode she only got to sing about 2 lines! Such a waste!!! :cry:

New Release Schedule (Physical) : Monday 8 March

Whos Greatest Hits Would You look Forward To The Most
Mel C, definately! I love her :heart: :dance: Got all her albums and definatley due one. I'd also get Emmas. I don't have any of her albums but i love all of her singles.... And Geris :lol: I can't see Scary of Posh having greatest hits. Victorias would be more of a CD Single :P

Pop Flops Of 2009
Mikas Rain - Although Mika on the whole has flopped this year. It's a shame :cry: The Killers 'Dustland Fairytale'. One of my absolute favourite songs of the year and deserved so much better, although they wern't actively promoting it so i'm not too fussed. At least it's not because nobody likes them :lol:

Your top 10 most played songs that were released in 2009
:o How on earth do people reach playcounts of 500+ for one song?!?!?!? Do you have your earphones in 24/7 :unsure: According to my LastFM account my top track is Bad Romance with a mere 61 plays, followed by Britneys 'Circus' with 33. I have listned to 10268 tracks since January though :lol:(i'm not sure how accurate LastFM is. Some songs are listed as being played a dozon times and i'm convinced i haven't...)

The Saturdays- Ego
I never understood all the hate for FIO :cry: I love Ego and hope it will chart top 5, but the best song on the album is defintaely One Shot :dance: :dance:

Madonna- Revolver
If she performs on X Factor that it should get top 10 easy (she'd be foolish not to perform X Factor imo!) However if she doens't do any promo then i predict another Miles Away :cry:

Predict Susan Boyle's 1st week album sales.
I think it will sell around 200,000 this week, but then drop like a brick the following week. However, no doubt the big supermakets will have it on offer for about £7 this week which will probabbly add arond another 100,000 sales :P I can't believe she's going to sell so many. Who'd have though it :lol:
-
Predict Beyonce ft GaGa Video Phone
Firstly I love Beyonce but Video Phone is without a doubt the worst song on an otherwise brilliant album :wacko: I've not actually heard this mix but Lady GaGa + Beyonce are two of my favourite artists at the moment so it'll be interesting to see what they make of it. No doubt this will chart really highly due to the fact it features two of the biggest female artists of the moment. I think it'll get to #3 I'm still awaiting the release of Radio though :cry:
-
JLS v Robbie for No.1 album next week.
JLS is only about £7 in Tesco and their '4 different covers for the same album' ploy is a bit naughty, but I'm stil 110% certain Robbie will overtake :lol:

Janet Jackson - 11th Studio Album
I don't know what could help Janet at this stage. I thought Discipline was a fantastic album and deserved a ton of sucess, but she didn't really seem too bothered promoting it outside of america. I don't know whether that was her doing of the record company, but she needs to do some promotion!! She needs to quit it with the never ending inteludes too. One or two is fair enough, but she's addicted!! :lol: They make her album too long. Quit it with all the sex songs too. I get that she likes singing about her vagina, but come on... we don't all wanna hear about it :P
-
Are These Upcoming #1's?
Madonna will certainly (i wish they would pull their fingers out though!!!), I'm pretty sure Sugababes will too. Mika and Shakira should do. I have a feeling Muse will just miss out :( I doubt GaGa will, but i think she'll do a Beyonce... It'll hang around in the top 20 for an eternity... hopefully it will outpeak Paparazzi though.
-
Poll - Predict Sugababes 'Get Sexy'
#1, and it's their first song in a while which truly deserves it :heart: This is just the sort of song that i've been missing from the 'babes. :w00t: Same here :D!

Where do you buy your singles from?
