Love all the above photos, an underrated one is 'Something to remember' album cover. Simple but elegant.

I wouldn't want to be Sam Smith right now, Jesus! :o :o

One flew over the cuckoo's nest, Classic movie! Louise Fletcher who plays 'Nurse Ratched' is my favourite ever female performance in a film. Such an underrated forgotten actress who should have gone on to bigger and better things.

I adore this show, each season is special and has something another one is missing. Season 4 is criminally underrated, so so funny. Season 5 may just be one of the best pieces of television I've ever watched, the arc from start to finish was amazing!

Love 'System Addict' the middle 8 bit of the song is pure pop heaven! Stay out of my life is criminally underrated.

Off topic but next week will be 15 years since Blu Cantrell's 'Breathe' went to No.1. Such a surprise when that happened, I heard it months before it's release, and none of my mates had even heard of it!! I remember the week it came out and purchased it, saw the mids and was shocked when it was heading to the top. I genuinely thought it would go to No. 12 or something :P LOL and sink without a trace. It wasn't on radio that much prior to it's release as well.

Well at least we have a million seller this year! 'This is me' is okay but 'From now on' is amazing! That song gives me chills, Especially seeing the scene in the cinema.

I don't care was one of my guilty pleasures, but yes it is largely forgotten, and that was a lucky No.1, I remember it dropping on iTunes after a few days, I think ed Sheehan 'thinking out loud' overtook it. I suppose she made chart history though, which still surprised me. After 'Crazy stupid love' hit No.1 she tied Rita ora/Geri there was speculation whether she could top it.

I actually don't remember if radio 1 played it that much prior to its release I don't think so, but I remember seeing the video a lot on kiss TV music channel back when you had to call up for your fav videos. I remember reading the midweeks and being shocked at how well it was doing. I genuinely though it would peak at number #17 or something. LOL Yeah maybe Sean Paul had a lot to do with it's success, but it was still amazing the how well it did. I certainly didn't expect it to stay at No. 1 for a month, so maybe airplay on Radio 1 did increase. Lumidee was number 2 behind it, another surprise hit.

God I loved 2003 great summer too, I remember hearing Blu cantrell's breathe months before and no one knowing what I was going on about. It was a surprise number one if I recall but I was so happy!

Wow! Thanks for clearing up the Kylie situation, she also nearly made chart history a year before with the locomotion, but was thwarted by Yazz, by 2,000 sales. WK ending 6 August 1988

Why did single sales decrease so much after 1985? After Jennifer rush there was no million seller until Bryan Adams in 1991. It can't be just because S/A/W dominated the chart so much between 87-89, but in 1984 I think there were about six million sellers, so something must have caused the decline. Also I noticed around 1995 and after songs debuted at no.1 with high first week sales than dropped, but contrast that to the 80s where songs climbed to no.1 than increased sales the week after. Why did Madonna never have a million seller in the 80's also? Can someone also clear up the issue of why "hand on your heart" by Kylie minogue didn't make chart history, I know sales were discounted because of cassettes but surely that problem should have been sorted out by the Sunday chart. And last one, why were Jive Bunny and the mastermixers so successful in 1989? They were the biggest singles act of that year, were people tired of S/A/W chart domination or something?.

Not really a big release week because of tragic circumstances but the WK ending 11 Jul 2009, may have been a huge week for sales because of Michael jackson's death, so I wonder how the chart was affected that week. I wonder what new releases were absorbed by the onslaught on Classic Jacko songs.

Oops! Atomic kitten was new entry at number 8 :blush:

Also WK ending 27 December 2003. The big Christmas week, one of the most exciting chart battles ever. 1. (N) Michael Andrews/ Gary jules- Mad world 2. (N) the Darkness- Christmas time don't let the bells end 4. (N) Bo selecta- proper crumbo 5. (N) the idols - War is over 9. (N) Atomic kitten - ladies night 10. (N) Sugababes- Too lost in you One of my all time favourite charts! So close as well if I recall. I'm glad mad world went number one

WK ending 13 October 2012. 1. (N)Rihanna- Diamonds 2. (1)Psy - Gangnam style 3. (N) One direction -live while we're young 4. (N) Adele - skyfall 5. (N) Ellie Goulding - Anything can happen 4 brand new entries, Rihanna rush released diamonds, one direction were battling it out early midweeks. Then Adele rush released on Friday, really early? What time was it. I remember on Sunday, trying to find out before chart was announced where Rihanna would end up. There was a post on ATRL forum with the chart positions, and they were correct. Also going way back to WK ending 6 August 1988. 1. (10) Yazz and the plastic population- the only way is up 2 (-) Kylie minogue - the locomotion It was very very close that week and Kylie ALMOST made chart history, nearly becoming first female soloist going in at number 1. But yazz caught her in the end. Yazz sold 54,000, Kylie sold 52,000. If it was released one week earlier she would have made chart history. Something similar happened in 1989, where her cassette sales were not added, because of retail price.
