Because if she did, someone would quickly point out she can't sing herself :lol: But to be fair, neither can Simon and Louis.

1) Why are people complaining about Cheryl miming. Would they really want to hear her sing live? :lol: 2) Isn't part of the problem that Cheryl claims she's singing live, which is why she ends up being attacked in the media.

Nickelback Aiming for Sixth Top 10 Album With 'Address' Billboard (November 21st, 2014): "Rock band Nickelback is primed to collect is sixth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart next week. Industry forecasters suggest the group's new release, No Fixed Address, could sell around 65,000 copies in the week ending Nov. 23. Nickelback's new album might be one of only two new arrivals in next week's top 10. The other is One Direction's likely No. 1 album: Four. The vocal group's fourth album, released on SYCO/Columbia Records, should bow with over 400,000 copies sold. Taylor Swift's current leader, 1989, will probably slip to No. 2 on the new chart, but could still sell over 200,000." http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...th-top-10-album

So it's done quite well then.

Any announcements about how much Band Aid 30 has sold in Ireland?

It was released very late for the US (December 3rd, 2013). It had just one week on the chart, entered at #113, and was out the next week.

4. Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars) :o performed somewhere?

It will just increase her sales, as she has 2 songs in the Digital Songs Top 5. Assuming we've made the right assumptions about the chart, she would have added another 42k to her album total.

37 christmas in the Billboard 200. On par with last year, when there were 40 xmas albums in the chart. No sign of Leona though.

It means if you have an artist like Flo Rida who sells a lot of singles, but not albums. If a track on his album sells 600k, that will contribute 60k sales to his album and put him in the Top 5 :lol:

I read an article previously that mentioned that it will help artists like Disclosure whose album does well on streaming sites but doesn't sell much.

From Billboard: "The updated Billboard 200 will utilize accepted industry benchmarks for digital and streaming data, equating 10 digital track sales from an album to one equivalent album sale, and 1,500 song streams from an album to one equivalent album sale. While the Billboard 200 will be taking on a whole new look, Billboard will continue to publish a pure album sales chart, called Top Album Sales, that will maintain the traditional Billboard 200 methodology, comprising Nielsen's sales data exclusively. Existing genre album charts (Country, R&B/Hip-Hop, etc.) will also remain sale-based for the time being." http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...-digital-tracks - Does this refer to tracks downloaded specifically from an album or tracks downloaded as singles? - Is it 10 different tracks (which it can't be, as some albums have less than than that)?

Leona must be wishing Simon had put this much effort into promoting her later albums :o
