GOLDFRAPP!!!! though getting a number 1 album would be a push considering this is supposed to be a return to felt mountain's sound. i'd love for them to try though! there shouldn't be too much competition and of course, madonna! let's hope the timbaland/neptunes collaborations don't fall flat

i love how radio 1 only adds girls aloud to the a-list when they're 100% sure that it's going to be a hit (something kinda ooooh, call the shots, very few others)

this song bugs me because it could have been so good, but there just isn't enough there! the extended mix hints at what it should have sounded like with the harder dance backing. without it it's just too slow! i'd say luck to make top 20.

it came back in and re-peaked though...something i doubt her new album will do!!!

the feeling! they'll sell like hotcakes for sure

fabulous re: Cat Power! i love "The Greatest" and her last few efforts. any idea on the certainty of such a quick release, though? it seems a bit unlikely to come that fast, as i'm sure the covers album promotion will be full-force (in indie terms, anyway). where did you hear about its imminent release?

sucks that groove armada aren't releasing another "soundboy rock" single at all. such a shame considering how many great great tracks are on there. plus it could have at least helped promote their new compilations, which look set to bomb miserably. who the hell have they hired for marketing, because they're not doing a very good job at all!! they should have just gone ahead with a third single in november, followed by the GA10 rarities album, and not released the updated greatest hits at all (no need! the same thing came out before their latest album, and 5 tracks are taken from it!) and what is "Sun" by Cat Power?? is she planning on releasing another new album so soon after the second covers project?

wow, stereophonics are doing terribly! looks like britney's getting a really high debut though! didn't expect that at all (well, until midweeks of course)

well, a bunch of my purchases are old albums, but here they all are (i don't buy singles anymore since nobody really stocks them): Pet Shop Boys - Nightlife (+US bonus disc) The Darjeeling Limited soundtrack Cat Power - The Covers Record Primal Scream - XTRMNTR (+US bonus track) Groove Armada - The Best Of Best Of Acoustic (import compilation) and my favorite album of this year so far... Roisin Murphy - Overpowered (import)

texas are lovely!!! don't know too much of them but love what i do know (getaway stands out as a favorite for sure). i'll have to remember to post something about them on my blog soon :cheer:

that's one of worst ever sales for a number 1 album. the US record industry is (quickly) dying out

very high for mark ronson and amy winehouse. it's still downloads only too!! and three cheers for roisin murphy! a top 5 would have been much deserved, but top 30 is great considering how little coverage her last album had

that is a bit low for natasha and celine dion though, would have expected some higher first week download sales for both really. i was (secretly and very guiltily) hoping britney might improve a bit on her peak the second week out, but i guess not... and feist dropping like a stone! looks like airplay didn't pick up after the sales did :(

well, he hasn't done much better in the US!

i usually do a top 30, and as i'm new here, i guess i'll keep mine very simple for this week (without # of weeks charted - i haven't counted those up yet): this week (last week) artist title peak 01 (01) Roisin Murphy - Let Me Know #1 02 (02) Sugababes - About You Now #2 03 (03) Girls Aloud - Sexy!

not a patch on "with every heartbeat" for me. i'm really liking the soulseekerz radio edit, though

a shame for manic street preachers! not my favorite single of theirs, but 22 is a steep drop from a top 10 midweek. and the "dylan" set did a lot better than i thought it would! it's getting such poor reviews for being nothing a but a total rehash that i wouldn't expect top 10 at all

she really needs to get it together though!! a year ago i was convinced that she would clean up her act and only THEN would she come back with some brilliant tunes and take over the charts. looks like that's not the case! here's hoping she'll pay attention to promo and videos a least a bit more than we expect her to (which is not at all)

so confusing! if you look around on some of the internet blogs a bit, you'll find that a promo remix disc for "Love Sweet Sound" is doing the rounds with 3 new mixes!!! i looked on some sites and it looks like they're re-issuing the best of, replacing 5 out of 14 songs with tracks from that with tracks from "Soundboy Rock", following this with a 2CD rarities compilation called "GA10". all a bit messy if you ask me

those are some pretty good sales for britney! sure, it's no fergalicious or umbrella or anything, but the song definitely isn't!! if radio would just support her a bit more, then maybe she'd have a shot at number one (unlikely, though. how many stations can really play her without some level of embarrassment?).

seems a bit pointless for Groove Armada to put out another greatest hits! their latest album is the only one released since their last best of (which went top 10). how pointless! it could work out well for sophie ellis-bextor, though. it might see a girls aloud effect-better sales for the collection than the albums, especially since she's really only a singles artist

so, i know groove armada have been on the october schedule for a while with "the things that we could share," but i haven't heard any more information on it, and now a promo has showed up for "love sweet sound". anyone know what the deal is with this?
