I'm going into Middlesbrough tommorow to see whats on offer, possibly for the last time :( It's like a dying dog waiting to be put to sleep :D

:lol: You'll never guess... The stores closing today are in Aberdeen Blackpool Camberley (Atrium) Carlisle Chester Coventry Denton Derby (Albion Street) Harlow Hemel Hempstead Hereford Loughborough Sheffield (Meadowhall) Shrewsbury Swindon Walton-on-Thames York. Guardian Unbelieveable! I'm suprised it managed to stay open past the first culling let alone the 4th! Somebody likes us :P

I like the idea of Amazon Marketplace, but it's so badly set out. You can't see what your buying and I don't always trust that the seller is going to send me what they say they are. If they changed the format slightly it would work much better i think.

i can't believe the Middlesbrough one is still open :o

My single arrived on Saturday, but i downloaded the other b-sides from iTunes. Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Kabul $h!t is brilliant with great lyrics. If this is a sign of the album then i can't wait. Also nice to finally hear F**k You in full (albeit edited :P ) I'm so excited for the album.

She should just give the Greatest Hits up as a bad job. Keeps Gettin Better (the song) did quite well considering, but the album tanked, and Dynamite isn't even a great song. Bring on album #4 though :dance:

Rehab definately didn't bomb :o :o About 99% of artists could only dream about releasing 7 top 20 singles from an album!! It was download only too. Some people are never satisfied. It was hardly gonna get #1 was it :unsure: Humiliation of Rehab :blink: , my ass :P

My first Sugababes album was Three just after Too Lost in You was released :dance: I only own one single and thats Easy :unsure:

It's a great little album with only two crap tracks. The god awful mix of Giving You Up and the completely out of place mix of In Your Eyes. The editing to the LA Riots mix of Boombox has spoiled it slightly too, but oh well.

I've bought this. 3rd GA single i've ever bought (after SKO and DSF). I mainly got it for the megamix, but every little goes towards helping them make then top 10 :P It should be #1, but i've voted top 10. I think it will peak about #7. I huge shame :( I have a feeling it will do a CSF though and hang around for eternity and end up selling loads

I'm very shocked that Piccadilly is shutting down. I went in there last year and it was like Santas Grotto. I spent about 2 hours in there :P I'm expecting the Middlesbrough store to be one of the next to go. It's a dead loss in there at the moment. Very sad :(

My mum used to work in Woolworths, and she said Wooiles 30 years ago was much like Wilkinsons is now. Most of the Woolworths i've been into are usually just down the street from an Iceland. God knows whats going to replace Woolies down our high street. The only 3 big name shops here now are Boots, Smiths and M&S (and even that has renamed itself M&S Outlet) We've got a Morrisons just off the highstreet and a Tesco a bit further still.

I would love it to reach #1, but honestly i expect it to chart around #5.

The last CD i bought from Smiths was Madonnas 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' back in November 2005 (day of release no less :P) I was too impatient to shop around, i just wanted it! It was under a tenner though. They are so expensive, and there attitude towards CDs is a bad as Woolies used to be. Sticking a paper sleeve inside a crappy plastic case to take to the counter. Their DVDs are even worse. Taking the DVDs out and sticking the boxes on the shelf so all the grubby people can feel up the packaging before it gets bought. Their boxsets are always torn :(

Well i for one am extreamly happy with Kylies position :dance: :dance: :dance: I'm also ecstatic that Nelly and James Morrison have risen. I bought it this week - It was the first song i ever downloaded off iTunes :P

I haven't bought a Cd in Smiths for years. Their prices are ridiculous and i'm not suprised this has happened. Serves them right!

:o Tragedy/Heartbeat was the first single i ever owned. I can't beleive it was 10 years ago :cry:

If i remember correct Garbages 'Shut Your Mouth' charted at #20, and then fell out of the top 75 the following week. Don't know the exact placeing though :mellow:

OMG i am so going into town tommorow!!! Girls Aloud for £3 each :w00t:

This is terrible news, but the optimist in me tells me that unlike Woolworths Zavvi might survive. I've got all my fingers crossed. I don't mind buying CDs online, but i love shopping and love looking around shops, especially music shops. I'll be absolutely devistated if Zavvi does go. If HMV goes i'll be mortified :banghead: I'll be chaining myself up to the store railings like the suffragettes I just feel for all the people who have jobs on the line. It makes you think which other shops might also be on the verge of closeing :(

Yeah they had their biggest hit (IDFLD) and followed it with their 4 smallest (aside from the 1st release of Laura). The next 3 singles totally bombed, but they made pretty bad single choices and they all had abysmal tracklistings. I remember Jake Shears admitting that they messed up the tracklistings and that the final formats were boring and unenticing.

is this true!?!?!? My local Woolworths is one of the very last in the area to close and it's open until the 5th :yahoo: I'll be making special daily journeys if i'm treated to those discount prices :yahoo:

I wouldn't say Madonna flopped. Her latest single did, but on the whole this year has been pretty good for her. Same for Kylie. She's had 2 top 10 hits and a pretty respectable (i think, given the circumstances) #36. The biggest flop this year, for me, is The Feeling. The album was rubbush compared to 12S&H, and they chose the worst 2nd single possible. They didn't really help themselves. Christinas comeback wasn't great, but it was only a GH. We knew from the start she wasn't going to be promoting and she still had a top 10 album and top 20 d/l only single. Not too bad considering! Sugababes. Their WORST SINGLE EVER!!! followed by their 2nd WORST SINGLE EVER!!!... It's a shame because the album is actually pretty good. Just a shame they are releaseing the c**p songs first. Mariah too. I honestly don't think there is much of a place for her in the UK market anymore. She tends to do much better in America. Maybe she should focus her output there... (I should point out that i do love E=MC2, but again, like many other acts this year, all the wrong singles were released! What the hell were they thinking not releaseing Migrate!?!?) One final word... Dido :lol:

Does anybody have any idea what the Special Edition is which is released late January? I'm intreged :unsure:

Yes! I hate them, they are not fun in the slightest and to be honest i couldn't give a $h!te about the outcome :P
