No, it's not - the draw for the running order will be done on March 17th.

Oops - forgot those two. As well as Shayne Ward. Still not good though, is it, if we've had so few million selling singles that we run out of them before we run out of fingers?

:rofl: at both.

I agree. My particular favourite was how people used that to explain why we got zip in 2003. Turkey were also involved with it - and they won the bloody thing (and eight other countries - including Spain and Poland - were also in Eurovision that year as well).

At least you didn't say million sellers, 'cos all we've had in that category are: -> It Wasn't Me - Shaggy -> Pure And Simple - Hear'Say -> Anything Is Possible/Evergreen - Will Young -> Unchained Melody - Gareth Gates -> Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid 20 And, I'm not sure about this one, Tony Christie: Is This The Way To Amarillo. Therefore making a grand total of 5 million sellers in 8 years. Not that great, is it? (I may have missed a couple out, but I don't think we've had 8 million sellers this century.)

Wikipedia's wrong? Where's the faint smilie?

Well, d'uh.

Might have been more successful if she hadn't had a bad throat all week and in the Final. (Plus we performed second that year - which would have needed an amazing performance, especially with Malta performing afterwards. Shame we didn't get one.)

Not even Katrina and the Waves in 1997? Until the new voting style came in, that had the most points of any winning song (227).

This was at 51 last week, so how can it be a re-entry this week (I mean into the chart altogether, not the Top 50)?

5pts - Soulja Boy 4pts - Nickelback 3pts - H "two" 0 2pts - Basshunter 1pt - Mark + Amy Two things: 1 - They must be bad, if a Westlife song in the Top 40 doesn't make it, and 2 - Yes, I've read the "funny" comments.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: The FA being consistent? Don't make me laugh (more than I am already).

When you consider that the media has to pay something like £10,000 for the fixtures*, did you really think the FA would allow that to happen? * - No other country charges for their fixtures. It's a classic example of someone knowing the price of everything and the cost of nothing.

Eurovision is seen as a joke in Britain, and so no-one you've actually heard of will EVER represent us in the Contest.

Makes a change - a not bad tracklisting. Even if Soulja Boy and Leon Jackson are on it. (Also, I've just noticed - Steve Brookstein's the only X-Factor winner not to appear on a Now CD.)

Even though it looked liked they were going down, I still would have deducted points from them.

I agree - which is why I should do the chart. (My Scottish-mixed-with-Lancashire accent may be a problem, though.)

"Liverpool? Chelsea? We can't punish them. Middlesbrough? Who they?" Similiar to the reason why West Ham weren't chucked out of the PL for playing Tevez - I still don't think anyone knew *who* owned him - but kicked Bury out of the FA Cup for fielding an illegible player and docked points off AFC Wimbledon for the same reason.

:rofl: What about this one: "Katona is now married to professional scrounger Mark Croft." Two final things: 1 - Like everyone else, although I didn't really like Atomic Kitten, I preferred them after she left than before. 2 - It's such a shame that Kerry needs Atomic Kitten more than they need her, isn't it?

Must have been them - 'cos I remember Wes doing the album chart, then playing most (but not all) of the songs between 21 and 40 from 4.30 to 5.30.

My votes, from most worst downwards: 1 - Soulja Boy 2 - Nickelback 3 - Mark and Amy 4 - Basshunter 5 - H "Two" O

Remember Leicester in the 2002/03 season? Go into administration, and be rewarded with promotion to the Premiership. (Which is why the 10-point deduction was brought in.)

Like I said a couple weeks or so ago, I had VIP treatment for the Scotland EC qualifiers vs Ukraine and Italy, and I think Saskia and myself were getting odd looks 'cos we were going out in time for the start of the second half.

I was reading this chart on the bus on the way home after work, and was just wondering - in a normal week (i.e. not affected by Christmas), when was the highest new entry this low? (I also want to point out that I have all the charts, but I just can't be bothered to look through them myself.)

It all depends on whether Ireland qualify for the Final, since they're in separate SFs, and you can only vote in your SF (the Big Four and Serbia excluded, but they can only vote in one SF themselves).
