Fantastic. Linkin Park back. Seems ages they last had a single out. Also, is there still no set date for 'Black Roses', The Rasmus album due out in March?

Wow. Not very many of the new tracks in there. I'll have to think about my list for a bit. Really not sure what my favourite song is.

Does anyone have any idea about a release date for the single though? I was hoping for a single in February but it's looking doubtful. They could've released HWSS over here since they've taken ages since Inconsolable came out. A single about now would boost ticket sales for the tour, possibly helping to sell out venues that aren't already sold out.

Drowning. Everyone or Everybody?

It's fine to say move away from the Disney image cos they're nearly 20, but so many female acts out there are SO far away from demure that this is almost refreshing. Would you prefer they took their clothes off?

I think Everything But Mine is a good choice (but it's only their second single in the UK). I would have preferrred it to be Any Other Way, and I thought that was the 'Boys choice too cos that was originally planned for release after Inconsolable! Either way, they'd better release it in the UK this time cos I want something to buy (with hopefully extra unreleased tracks) before the tour.

This is probably the best song on her album. It's great and I hope she does well with it.

He's gone up to third place (and hey, David Tennant is now in first place lol) but the distance between Nick and the other two is widening. Not enough people are voting. Post the hello link on any other BSB and Nick sites you know. I think we have til the end of January. If he can get nearly 60,000 voted in 10 days surely we can do this!

Have I just read that right? Keane have already in January announced that they'll have a new album out but it won't be until September?! Hardly qualifies as 'Coming Soon', surely!?

LOL Was just coming in here to post a thread about this. I'm voting whenever I can. He's in 4th place currently. I gotta say though that surely David Tennant is more attractive than Hugh Laurie?!

I'd heard Robbie was doing 2 albums this year. A swing one (called Swing Again, apparently, and released on Feb 18th) and an original studio one. I think his best album is Intensive Care and the song Advertising Space is just amazing. It's my favourite song not just by Robbie, but probably fave song ever. Intensive Care wasn't given enough room to breathe. It was released in Nov '05 and 11 months later Rudebox was released (which I like, and especially love the title track, the video for which was fab!). Intensive Care is his crowning achievement (so far) and I hope he goes down that route with the new album (not too manic pop like the first 2 albums, although they were good, especially for the time they were released). There was not a single bad song on that album. All of them could have been singles.

I'm going to the Liverpool one! Can't wait.

Inconsolable.

Let It Rain? I don't think that was one of their best songs. I loved East 17. I was a fan of both groups and loved them both but I preferred E17. Their best album is Steam though I loved the Walthamstow album. My fave songs of theirs are It's Alright, Generation XTC, Thunder, Gold and Deep. As for rivalry, Gary always saw East 17 and New Kids On The Block as rivals. He didn't like them. East 17 had a Xmas number one though, which TT didn't, and it stayed at no1 for 5 weeks which is longer than any TT song has spent at the top.
