Pick yourself an unoccupied territory then and you'll be added ;)

I wanted to know where you were on the map: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70671 so I could arrange my tour geographically, but I don't think you're on it.

Inner Massivia would love to send it's entrant and some surprise guests to the United States of Jack for a promotional concert, but at this moment can't find the esteemed country on the map (we've sacked the Royal Cartographer). Could USJ point us in the right compass direction?

Inner Massivia are planning a tour ahead of their first appearance in BJSC. Confirmed venues will be announced tomorrow. We aim to visit all competing countries.

Noticed they're selling it for £12.97 as well in a couple of supermarkets I've been into!

Take That and the Killers for me. Though I do wonder if the Killers sales will be affected by the luke warm reviews for the album.

It's a standard record company decision and has little to do with the artists themselves.

What about Abba - Gold Greatest Hits. #1 in 1992 and re-entered at #1 in 2008?

The Inner Massivia Minister of Popular Culture was quoted today as saying: "It's great to see the BJSC tradition of novelty entries is being continued by Hitanya in the XIIth edition of the competition. It is slightly reminiscent of the musical episode of Buffy The Vampie Slayer in idea and execution. We think it might be a surprise contender."

Sean Kingston is the sequence killer - I reckon there's three sets of 5 ruined by Beautiful Girls here: 1058 26 May Rihanna featuring Jay-Z Umbrella 10 1059 4 Aug Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson & DOE The Way I Are 2 1060 18 Aug Robyn with Kleerup With Every Heartbeat 1 1061 25 Aug Kanye West Stronger 2 1062 8 Sep Sean Kingston Beautiful Girls 4 1063 6 Oct Sugababes About You Now 4 1064 3 Nov Leona Lewis Bleeding Love 7

Looking at it myself now I think 5-in-a-row might be too hard a task! Anyway here's my selection and it is from this year: 1068 23 Feb Duffy Mercy 5 1069 29 Mar Estelle featuring Kanye West American Boy 4 1070 26 Apr Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake 4 Minutes 4 1071 24 May Ting Tings That's Not My Name 1 1072 31 May Rihanna Take A Bow 2

Number 1s can vary in quality from Going Underground to Mr Blobby. So it's pretty rare to get a sequence of great number 1 singles in a row. I thought it'd be interesting to see what people thought was the best sequence of number 1s in the 2000s. I'll do the other decades over the next few days. The best site for this I think is Everyhit.com - here's a link to all the number 1s of the 2000s: http://www.everyhit.com/number6.html Even a cursory look will have you annoyed that what's looking like a great sequence is spoilt by some absolute cack. Post your sequence of five below.

Inner Massivia Update II The streets of Attacktonia echoed to the sound of firecrackers and rejoicing tonight when it was announced by Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara that contrary to his previous statement, Ojnoj's BJSC contestant Gavin Mikhail will be visiting the country for the first time to give a concert at the Mezzanine Bowl as part of his promotional tour. 26th Nov 2008: Inner Massivia Gavin's agent Jonjo Deluxe was quoted as saying: "We always intended to visit Inner Massivia, there was merely a mix-up over dates. All details have now been satisfactorily sorted out." Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara said: "Gavin is one of the most accomplished artists in the world. It wil be an honour to accomodate him on his tour. It is particularly fitting that he is the first major star to play the Mezzanine Bowl since it opened to full capacity. I hope he does a cover of my favourite song, Mud's Tiger Feet. We'd like to thank Jonjo Deluxe for all his hard work in resolving this matter."

Inner Massivia Update Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara made a state broadcast earlier today to the nation: "It is my sad duty to inform all my citizens that despite a very generous offer, Ojnoj's BJSC contestant Gavin Mikhail will not be including our beloved country in his promotional tour. We were prepared to loan him the Presidential Jet and give Gavin and his entourage full use of the top two floors of the 7star Hotel Electron in Attacktonia, as well as a substantial financial stipend. I promise to endeavour to get other contestants to visit the wondrous oasis on the outskirts of Attacktonia where the 22,000 capacity Mezzanine Bowl has recently been opened."

Cheers for the info

Not very in your case ;) - they did it three years running and it became as tiresome as the X-Factor single every year. In fact it took Geri leaving to break the sequence. The last twenty Christmas number 1s suggest that the X-Factor hasn't broken a wonderful tradition, merely added to the dire nature of the annual chart topper. I count at a push five "legitimate" chart toppers. 1988 Cliff Richard Mistletoe & Wine 1989 Band Aid II Do They Know It's Christmas? 1990 Cliff Richard Saviours' Day 1991 Queen Bohemian Rhapsody / These Are The Days Of Our Lives 1992 Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You 1993 Mr Blobby Mr Blobby 1994 East 17 Stay Another Day 1995 Michael Jackson Earth Song 1996 Spice Girls 2 Become 1 1997 Spice Girls Too Much 1998 Spice Girls Goodbye 1999 Westlife I Have A Dream / Seasons In The Sun 2000 Bob The Builder Can We Fix It? 2001 Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman Somethin' Stupid 2002 Girls Aloud Sound Of The Underground 2003 Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules Mad World 2004 Band Aid 20 Do They Know It's Christmas? 2005 Shayne Ward That's My Goal 2006 Leona Lewis A Moment Like This 2007 Leon Jackson When You Believe The charts are actually slower now than they were for a large stretch of the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s which was dominated by 1 week number 1s. They've almost gone back to how they were 17 or 18 years ago. In 2000 there were 42 number 1s. In 1996 when the Spice Girls broke onto the scene there were 24 number 1s. In 2007 just 17.

Can't you be civil in all this? We had a reasonable discussion about Dido and why we felt it's not performing as well - there's no need to turn bitter against other artists. The Deluxe of Leona's contains 3 new songs, 3 single mixes not on the original album, 5 dance remixes, 5 videos and 2 behind the scenes videos plus online content which can only be accessed through the DVD.

Amy Winehouse was #1 earlier this year with her deluxe. The Travelling Wilbury's last year. Though not reaching #1 many other deluxes have charted high and long in the album chart. This is not a precedent, just a continuation of a trend.

According to Sony they're only making available a "limited quantity" of the bonus stuff available for the Ting Tings. Nice gesture but hardly allowing everyone the chance to but disc 2 - it's £6 as well so not that much cheaper than the full thing!

Not too sure of the rules being a newbie but thought that Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy would be too well known to be an entry?

I'm amazed at the amazing welcome, thanks :dance:

One of the very best tracks of the 90s - brilliant video as well. Often appears in Best Song Ever lists.
