US Hot 100 - 12/27/2014
It's not a long drought at all, actually Charli XCX was at number 1 just 3 months ago with 'Fancy' with Iggy Azalea...

US Hot 100 - 12/20/2014
I hope Charli XCX makes it into the Hot 100 next week with Break the rules, such a catchy song...

it's surprising to see Olly Murs and David Guetta outside the top 5, especially since both songs are amazingly catchy...

PREDICT: Taylor Swift - 1989
I think it will sell between 600-650 k which is amazing in the current sales climate

Not one artist's album has gone platinum this year
sales are so bad the past 2 years, especially at the lower end of the BB Hot 200 that sales at the number 200 in the BB Hot 200 current albums spot is selling less than 1000 copies, which is really alarming... i think the album market is dying fast and there's no way to save it, most of the albums are leaked online 2 weeks b4 their release, so ppl just download them for free, only a few actually pay for them, not to mention very few remaining CD shops who only stock the most commercial CD's... so critics should stop labeling artists as flops since all current albums are labelled as flops compared to the year 2000's standard... if an album manages to sell 200k copies nowadays, it should be regarded as a success... even Taylor Swift and Adele's new releases will struggle to sell a quarter of what their last album did...

Songs that sound like desperate attempts to get a hit
i think The Wanted are being treated very badly by the UK public, most of their songs are instant pop classics, even 'Walks like rihanna' even if the lyrics were corny , 'Show me love ', 'We own the night' and 'Glow in the dark' all sound great, and way better than most 1D or 5SOS songs which are both far more popular.... 'Glad you came' and 'I found you' are absolute classics and 'Chasing the sun' should've become their second top 10 single in the US...

Bright Light Bright Light's new single An open heart is a pop masterpiece same as his last single 'I believe', too bad he's completely ignored by the music buying public...

Crazy Stupid Love Was Kylie's First
anything Kylie releases will flop even if she performs it at the X factor final.... radio refuses to playlist her.... Into the blue and Crystallize just prove that no matter how much the songs are good she will never get a hit, even less now with the inclusion of streaming as a chart component...

i can't believe Train, Moko and Amelia Lily are flopping while the lame Ten walls and Chris Brown are in the top 10!!!! what happened to British people's taste in music?
-
iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 7th September 2014
hopefully Amelia Lily and Moko can make it into the top 40.... that Chris Brown song is dreadful, i'm amazed at how successful he still is despite the bad quality of his songs (except Fine China which was good) ..... didn't know Tina Arena is still releasing records... :D

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 31st August 2014
That's so sad to hear since Moko's Your Love sounds like a modern day house classic such as Robin S's Show me Love, Amelia Lily's California sounds like the perfect pop song but she probably needed more exposure...

do Amelia Lily and Moko stand any chance of making the top 40??? i love both of their songs...

US Hot 100 - 09/13/2014
I don't think the problem with Rita Ora not succeeding in the US is down to her music, we've seen hundreds of worse artists scoring number 1's in the US... Rita wasn't well promoted, she hasn't performed as a lead artist in any major US show, and i'm sure 'I will never let you down' would've been number 1 if it was performed by Rihanna... they need to work on her US promotion, Roc nation did a lousy job so far, same as what they did with Kylie...

US Hot 100 - 09/13/2014
And also Do you know what it takes which also reached the top 10.... I'm sure there are many solo swedish females who made it into the top 20 in the noughties as featured artists....

US Hot 100 - 08/16/2014
7 song by UK artists in the US hot 100 !!!! that must a record.... great news for British artists worldwide... Hopefully we'll see a lot of new UK artists doing well... i think next will be the Vamps and Ella Henderson.... Unfortunately Katy Perry seems to have chosen the wrong single, hence the flop of 'This is how we do' it's not doing well on sales and streaming and airplay seem to be shy... 'Walking on air' was the obvious choice.... 'Unconditionally' should've been scrapped or left as the 5 th single...

Million Miles
very bad choice again, whoever chose the singles from the past 3 albums should be sacked.... Singles like '2 Hearts', 'Get outta my way' and now this abonimation that is 'Million Miles' should've not been on the album let alone chosen as singles.. 'Les Sex' ans 'Kiss me once' are the only single worthy songs on the album and they've been totally ignored... such a shame...

Daily US Airplay Updates - JUL 2013 - SEP 2014
she's nearly 40 so she's not suitable for ageist US radio.... see what also happened to Mariah and J.Lo, they used to get loads of airplay, now nothing...

Streaming to be included in the UK Official Chart: CONFIRMED
just when the UK are starting to become fast and interesting again, the streaming inclusion will make it as slow as the Billboard Charts.... such a shame...

PREDICT: Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
i'd say 80 k only but shall debut at 1 regardless due to lack of competition and very low sales...

June 2014 Predicta
Kylie Minogue is releasing 'Crystallize' on the 9th of June, shouldn't it be added to the list??? DfQAhii0TzA

Next single of Kiss Me Once
I'm sure none of them will chart, but she should try and release 'Les Sex' or 'Kiss me once' which are the only remaining standout songs on the album.... But she should try to make a decent video this time around.... not a cheap 10£ video like ITB and IWGC.... 'Sleeping with the enemy' is also a great melodic song, deserves to be a single too.... should've been on the album main tracklist...
