  1. mIK2y_NA32M&feature=relmfu ON42OHZbaJM&feature=relmfu z56z2SVGv3w bSGBJnHwWsk&feature=channel&list=UL noUzaBZpHc4 kRq7lJ0JgDY&feature=relmfu Very Hilarious, that guy is way too talented!!!!!
  2. The inclusion of streaming made the charts a lot slower than they were before .., they should turn the BB hot 100 into a sales chart just like the rest of the world......
  3. He's not that good looking tbh but he might get some if he becomes richer and more popular!!! :lol: Btw where's yesterday s chart????
  4. Over????? In the UK maybe but in some other countries she is still scoring big hits... And this one is already a big hit in many countries in Europe and Asia.... It's still way better than the trash that's being played on UK radio....
  5. Ur right such an amazing album but poor-ish sales are caus US hip hop Nicki fans haven't embraced her new pop sound unlike Europe where the album is a massive success and deservedly so. there's at least 7 potential singles in there . My favs are 'Pound the alarm', 'whip it' and 'Automatic'..... :yahoo:
  6. Yeah, airplay share has become a lot higher since the new Billboard chart rules.... And the most annoying thing about the new chart rules is the current flow of Drake and Lil Wayne songs tbh....
  7. Get real Adele would never do promo or videos, she's trying to keep a certain aura and not become over commercialized like Lady Gaga who appeared on every worldwide tv promoting her last 2 singles yet they didn't do that well worldwide....
  8. The chart has become so annoyingly slow since the amplification of airplay and streaming some songs have been there for ages like those two Drake songs and LMFAO too....
  9. Why is that dreadful Michel Telo song climbing??? It's low on both sales and airplay.... Too bad Adele has peaked, why can't she move it and release a video??? Why is she so damn lazy???
  10. Adele in a music video???? You're more likely to see her arrested at a police station for drunk driving.... She's now hibernating until next year's Grammys or the one after....
  11. Rolling in the deep/Someone Like You - Adele Party Rock anthem - LMFAO
  12. yeah right as if... he probably have dated Louis Walsh....
  13. If I Never See Your Face Again , Live Your Life , Run This Town , Love The Way You Lie , Fly, Who's That Chick? Princess Of China , Take Care, Fly , Who's That Chick? , Princess Of China , Take Care ,All Of The Lights These are not Rihanna singles, she's just featured on them.... so they don't count.... plus where is 'Where have you been'?
  14. yes i know, but the question is do u prefer the charts back then in the physical era or now in the digital era?
  15. i meant the top 10 combined, corrected, anyway, what is your overall opinion on the physical vs digital single sales era?...
  16. that's what i meant, the songs in the top 2 would sometimes sell more than the rest of the top 10 combined, which is not the case anymore...
  17. Back in the 90's and early 00's, before downloads became the most dominant source of single sales and internet craze took over the music industry , physical singles were the only way to get single releases, and the music fan would eagerly wait for a single to get released and he/she would have to go visit the local music store and purchase it, and back then, the UK Singles chart was characterized by the following: -The single charts were really fast: average of 15 to 20 new entries in the top 75 while currently 5 new entries per week as an average, sometimes even less. Most if not all number 1's were new entries that would enter at number 1 then fall, 99% of singles would enter at their peak, then fall down. An average top 5 song would stay in the charts for 6 to 8 weeks. -Very few old songs charting: due to the lack of availability , older singles would run out of stock, therefore leave the charts soon. (No Chasing sun, Use Somebody, Someone like you, lingering in the chart for years, and no random older songs re-charting due to being discounted on itunes or performed on a TV talent show) -Sales in the upper reaches were a lot higher : back in the late 90's, early 2000's , most number 1's would sell 100.000 copies at least in order to get there, and there were many number 1 singles that sold around 300.000 copies first week, which is really rare these days. So maybe sales are really high overall now, but only because of the older tracks being available and taking a big share of sales while back then there was only a limited number of 'available' releases each week leading to the top 10 songs having a huge share of the overall singles market. -B-Sides & Remixes: due to their nature, physical singles were released with added B-Sides & remixes which are not the case for 95% of digital single releases, this also is an advantage to physical Cd's since there was added value for each release ( especially, pop & rock releases) since there would be B-sides consisting of new tracks, or live tracks, and sometimes remixes and CD-Rom options. -CD Artwork: which is also an added value, especially since many singles back then had creative artwork & packaging. However, Since the huge growth of digital singles, many things about the UK single charts changed, including but not limited to: The Single charts became really slow: as mentioned above, only 4 to 5 new entries per week, a lot of old songs re-charting thanks to price reductions at itunes & TV performances, and an average number 1 would stay in the top 75 for 25 weeks. -Higher sales but very few singles generating a huge buzz to get 300 k in their first week since availability isn't limited in the download era, since buyers have all the time in the world to download the single they like as opposed to the physical era, where people would rush to the shops & buy their fave new CD Singles before they run out of stock, also people have the option to choose whichever single they want from the album which leads to a lot of album tracks charting without being released as singles. which out of these 2 charts do you prefer? a fast-moving new songs chart like in the physical age with B-Sides & remixes ? or an all-songs slow chart with the option of buying old songs & album tracks individually like in the digital age? and why? please do comment below.
  18. Promotion from Glee and Tv appearances is more than enough to get 1D to number 1 on the BB hot 100.....
  19. maroon 5 might go top 5 in the BB hot 100 next week but hopefully the Wanted and 1D climb too.....
  20. She's too lazy to do a video. She'll just release her live Performance at the Royal Albert Hall as a video.... How lazy!!!!! Even her video for Someone Like You was shot on an IPad without her consent.....
  21. Lionel Richie is set to return to the top spot: the 80's are back...
  22. DAVID GUETTA - Titanium f/Sia: 5.173 (+ 0.687) RIHANNA - Where Have You Been: 4.243 (+ 0.520) glad these 2 are released as singles in the US....
  23. but she has more chances now to be the first to tie Geri's record since she will be releasing before Pixie Lott or Leona Lewis who also have 3 number 1's.....
  24. Alexandra Burke debuts new single 'Let It Go' i guess she has a lot more chances now.....
