Lift Me Up

Christina taking off :cheer: Be gone haters and doubters who said it would flop. You were wrong ! And :wub: at Alicia's Platinum Collection heading for top 20 ?

^ Are you talking about in the States or here in UK ? It's climbing quite quickly up iTunes now and is getting increasing airplay on Radio. The song is a slow burner. It takes time to fully appreciate it, no quick hook like many pop/dance tunes.

Diirty. .........And Still Diirty.

^Be good to see her on Jonathan Ross too :)

i just risked ear drum rape to check out what the Candy raving is about.. Not my cup of tea at all but I did last just over the minute before I had to remove my headphones. My view is its pretty poor so likelyhood is it'll get to #1 :P

Virtually no one sang live on TOTP by that time (1999) !! Miming was the norm. So impressed to see Christina buck the trend and sing live. great to see the old clip again so thanks for posting. Highlights what a long way she's come in 11 years but also how good she was right from the start. I mean, she was, what ? 17 when she gave that performance. Amazing vocal talent.

^Still really #1 in the airplay chart overall but doesn'r appear in the list until thirty something as they don't add up all the different titles it seems to get logged under !!

you and me both :yahoo: looks like it'll be a slow but steady climber. should be a stayer too. if only she had some prime time TV exposure due this weekend, it could have pushed it all the way to #1 for next week. her first. And what more deserving track to be her first UK no1 :wub:

just been on you tube watching this. Brilliant. once this song hits the clubs it should do really well

A-list reminds me of why I don't listen to Radio 1 anymore (with the exception of DV - Once which is OKish) B-list is only saved by Alicia's brilliance and the sweet Te Amo from RiRi C-list BEP Imma be I've not heard and I like most BEP stuff but rest of list they can keep. So out of their whole playlist there's only 2 songs I like and 1 or maybe 2 that I think are OK. Either I'm old or Radio 1 is $h!te. <_< Or both :P

^ :lol: . There was a couple of weeks ago. something about putting the loo seat down or remembering to wipe after you been or some such nonsense :P

no rule 10 this week ? :(

Of the poor choices I went for Diana.

First we had Diirty then Still Diirty and now Not Myself Tonight looks like being even Diirtiier. Bring it on !! Loving what I seen so far :whip:

for what its worth its on Heart FMs playlist. not top but should get lots of plays now. (they don't do A B and C lists)

Latest figures for this week, GaGa still top. TSWaBH needs airplay now: 1 Lady GaGa 4,471 plays down 7 2 Alicia Keys 3,741 plays down 162 3 Robbie Williams 3,244 plays down 129 4 Pixie Lott 2,972 plays up 71 5 Cheryl Cole 2,778 plays up 74 6 JLS 2,457 plays down 203 7 Black Eyed Peas 2,419 plays up 123 8 Take That 2,395 plays up 53 9 Rihanna 2,357 plays up 46 10 Michael Jackson 2,142 plays up 52 11 Alexandra Burke 2,116 plays 12 Michael Bublé 2,104 plays 13 Kings of Leon 2,058 plays 14 Scouting for Girls 1,974 plays 15 Owl City 1,847 plays 16 Queen 1,702 plays 17 Florence + The Machine 1,642 plays 18 Beyoncé 1,618 plays 19 Whitney Houston 1,524 plays 20 Madonna 1,501 plays By Track: 1 Empire State of Mind 2274 plays down 252 2 Doesn't Mean Anything 897 plays up 42 3 Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart 444 plays up 66 4 If I Ain't Got You 80 plays up 17 5 Fallin' 25 plays up 3 6 No One 18 plays up 2 7 You Don't Know My Name 3 plays no change 8 Unthinkable 3 plays up 2 9 Gangsta' Lovin 2 play no change 10 Girlfriend 1 play:down: down 1

^ I've been loving the live version of ESoM that the music channels have been showing (I guess as no official video was done for it ?). She starts the intro to it just like her As I Am intro then blends it into the ESoM. Absolutely spellbinding the whole way through, impossible to tear your eyes or ears away. If you find any tickets still on sale for london please PM me ?

Well she would have been on if ITV hadn't editted the program and removed her from it completely. :(

Not that bad. I kinda like it. Will it be released in the UK ?

in answer to my own question; the "Idol gives back" results episode that this clip is from is on in UK on ITV2 tonight at 9pm

one word............. Gorgeous. :wub: :wub: :wub: When do they repeat AI on UK telly ? Anyone know ?

^ we need TSWaBH on the A-playlists NOW !! knock GaGa off the top and put our angel voiced Queen of NY back where she belongs.

I not long ago bought her first 3 albums (HMV 2 for £10 for 2 of them !!) so don't think I can justify getting this. Wish I had had more patience then I could have had this instead of the seperate ones, just didn't know about it til last week :( love the packaging too. Could this hit top10 on the back of Element ? all the 'new' fans and ones like me who always liked her singles but never quite got hooked enough to buy her albums ? (Doesn't Mean Anything and then Empire State did it for me !)

I wasn't expecting this............. :wub: From the Glastonbury website (http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/shakira-added-to-2010-line-up) : We're delighted to announce that Colombian pop superstar Shakira has been added to the line-up for this year's Festival. She will appear on the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday of the Festival (June 26th). Says Emily Eavis: "Shakira is not only an amazing pop star but also socially and politically forward thinking; she's working incredibly hard for good causes around the world. We feel honoured to have the she wolf herself come to Worthy Farm!" Says Shakira: "I'm really looking forward to playing Glastonbury this year and being a part of their 40th anniversary. Glastonbury is famous for being one of the best festival crowds, so I'm sure I'll have a great time." For more information on Shakira, head to shakira.com.
