    "Mystified" :rofl: Not a single bad review this time. Just London to go. Can it be a perfect run? Hope so.
  2. Yeah, when I last looked (2:30am) it STILL wasn't there. 7-Digital have it, though. :D It's already climbed to no. 2 on there. I don't think she'll smash Shayne's record of having the biggest first week sales of an X-Factor contestant's single, but she may match Leona's A Moment Like This. 600-700k.
  3. I agree with you, but I also think that the singles market in general has always been more belonging to the younger generation, as a lot of younger people don't have the purchasing power to buy several whole albums (well, teenagers) a month, like an older music lover might do.
  4. Went yesterday. Twas fab. :) Had a good seat but too far away for any decent photos. As there was no-one behind me, on the terrace, I could stand up and dance along without bothering anybody. :D Will was on good vocal form. Wore the electric blue trousers and a black v-neck t-shirt plus purple shoes. Some of my highlights included: Grace - (although I missed the first verse, due to urgent toilet trip) absolutely brought the house down. Those who've seen his various television performances of this haven't seen nothing yet! Friday's Child - going back to original version, though with a different arrangements for the new band, it was bliss, and nice and long. Loved it. :D Free - again, back to the original, this rocked! Show Some Emotion - was fun dancing and singing along to this Strange - his on-stage movements were reminiscent of All I Want from the last tour. ;) :o :wub: :whip: Love and I Won't Give Up You Don't Know - his voice was reminiscent of a cello. I think he got a bit emotional. He didn't chat so much as he seemed to have done at previous gigs. Quite a few people threw/passed presents and flowers to Will. Someone chucked a Mickey Mouse quite early on, and he read out who it was from (there was a note attached) and he was looking for the people in the audience, but didn't spot them, so said s.th. like, oh, they're not here, so this flew up all by itself. Ah, yes, I remember another thing, at the beginning he played the diva, said that standards were slipping and where were his towels? One of the band members brought one up, and another one brought another one, to which Will said oy, this is my show, don't try getting all the attention. And then he complained that the towels were too small. :lol: Had a good time and it was over all too quickly. :( Got home at 2:30am :o Am absolutely shattered, as I've also got a cold with a nasty chesty cough.

    I have a question re: the dates underneath the albums: are they meant to be release dates or the dates they first entered the charts? Either way, those dates are wrong. Correct release dates: From Now On 7 Oct 2002 Friday's Child 1 Dec 2003 Keep On 21 Nov 2005 Let It Go 29 Sep 2008
  6. I love the video, though I don't get it, as a music video, but I get it as a mini Will film. I hope that makes sense!

    Dang, they disabled the video! grr!
  8. good news about the R2 b-list, munchkin, thanks. now that I've got a new job, I'm going to pre-order the sing from HMV. :) :) :)
  9. Well done, Mr Will Young! Loved watching that (on youtube). :D He's a first class guest on any show. Hopefully they'll all be gasping and clammering to get him, no matter what the show is about!
  10. Yay, me, I'm happy about Will's album at no. 13 and his album track (which it is at the moment :D) at no. 35. Great stuff. :cheer: P.S. I have no idea who "the Stig" is, as I've never watched Top Gear in my life, but Will was lovely on the programme. :D
  11. I hope Grace will catapult LIG back into the top 10. But I'm also completely unsure about that at the same time. I wish I'd feel more confident.
  12. Are there some more that have appeared in the last few days? In the Reviews section? Haven't looked in there for a while.
  13. I think so. I've selected it to show under my list of "your artist forums". Mind you I usually use the forum jump thingy in the bottom right hand of the page to navigate, and that still lists all the forums. :rolleyes:
  14. Am I a member?
  15. Innocent until proven guilty, I haven't seen proof. ;) could I have a Prime Minister? :)

  17. Yes, she'll never need wallpaper again! The spare CDs might make good coasters. :)

    WE WANT SALES INFO +++ WE WANT SALES INFO! Seriously, though, sliding down only one place is really good news. :D
  19. Right, it's question time for me tonight: am I actually a "member" of this forum? Because I can't remember whether I've ever become a member. Think I've always just posted away on here. Might have to re-member, then? (see what I did there? :rolleyes: ) I'm not sure about all of this, although I did check out a certain Devotee and they do seem somewhat dubious. Any enlightenment (via PM?) would be welcome. ;) And I don't agree about the Halloween reference. ;)

    Oops. :blush: Still stumble over a word or two, occasionally. To all midgets: please forgive this foreigner!

    Yay! B) :D
  22. Midweeks are looking good. Now that the more casual buyers have got their copy it is up to the hardcore fans to keep buying their daily dozen, but it's obviously working so far. :D Good job, chrysalis. :rofl:

    Midgets, eh. Can't live with them, can't live without them. *swat* :blink:
  25. indeed! Can't let up now until at least Christmas! And Pearl, quite right. Shame James Morrison's fans just aren't middle class and rich enough! :lol:
