  1. I think sadly BMG will care little for chart position. It'll promote the album mainly over the single (as Kylie did in the ITV live thing) and they know the hard-core fan base will basically buy all the physical formats even without any new content and significant mark up. Pounds in the bank more valuable than a brief appearance on an increasingly irrelevant OCC list I fear...
  2. Vinyl and CDS this morning so there is two more. Padam and Tension got a lot of promo in the lead up to the album and she's got that big "evening with" show with ITV on Sunday so that might help!
  3. I get the soul sound vibe. I think its a song thats really beautiful in its simplicity and has aged really well. Shame it got the low peak it did as a 4th single. Warming up to the new one. Not hitting the peak of some of the sacred 3 / lost tapes stuff for me yet but could not be happier we have new music and they've got a new deal!
  4. The bloody cheek of London records.... hey we dropped you but since you're famous again we might re-release it. I'll totally be buying that vinyl though. Lol. I only discovered it after Ghosts which is superior IMHO but they are quite different and I still really like it. I don't think its the strongest track on there but twist of fate had single written all over it. Was very Natalie Imbruglia of that era and criminally overlooked it should have been huge. I have the CDS :-)
  5. Will be right there with you - got it ordered this time!
  6. They've been around as a label ages and Kylie is usually pretty astute with choices. Sure its a decent decision!
  7. Raging I didn't know about this until too late. I didn't get a promo email from their site or anything. Had already prordered vinyl a while ago and was disappointed there was no CD. Now I've chuffing missed it after waiting 10 years!!

    Well they're finally back with new music thats actually released on time so so am I! So glad this was resurrected and thanks Silas for all your work on this and everyone old and new who's joined in!
  9. Just saw this again and wondered if there was an update? I suspect it'll look pretty different especially with streaming points
  10. and sash! in non- no2 shocker!
  11. Only since Round Round? Clearly not a true fan like me from Overload! :P I remember the stool routine and how cool and fresh Overload sounded when it came out. 15 years ffs. I didn't remember they got a Brit nomination for it! What are you doing for your Sugababes day? *goes to put on Overload*
  12. Yeah, there was a Jason Manford joke on The Apollo/Comedy Central a few weeks ago. He calls out to Heidi range in the audience. And says "did you know until recently, after NHS and Tesco the Sugababes were the third largest employer in the UK". To her credit she laughed!

    Have added all the posts over the last couple of years to aid the update. AYN at least 520k, PTB 460k, Overload 165k+, GS 190k, TLIY 200k, Girls now Silver 200k, think that's em all ^_^

    hey guys could you update the TLIY and Get Sexy figures with the posts/certifications people have given? TLIY is over 200k and GS is 190k. And thanks as always for the hard work!
  15. Wow. Havent been on here in an age and see I'm still top 30. Think was maybe top 20 when this was last done (years ago??). I think Arrs did it maybe. Well here's adding another post and hoping for next year. And hoping we actually get something to post about ffs!
  16. spicefunk posted a post in a topic in Madonna's Madonna
    Great list. A labour of love! Her updated 21st century total (from the MW quote on pg15 of the thread) hasn't been added to the first post though - worth sticking it on there? (Not sure if it was ref to albums or records, ie. album and singles combined)
  17. thanks. working! What a random thing it is - why a lanyard and why that song?!
  18. hey thanks. Continuing the "I'm a bit slow" theme HOW does it actually play it? Do I put it in my computer, squeeze it? Is it NFC? Not obvious to me and it seems to be doing nothing...
  19. anyone? cheers if u can help ^_^
  20. maybe a massively dumb question maybe but in the deluxe GH, what is the soundcard lanyard actually for? I think I nearly broke it :-0 I've googled it and check their site but doesn't actually explain... I need some buzzjack superfan assistance!
  21. Wow. Then queen would he Double diamond would they not? I like the idea of a bronze category say for where silver is now, silver being 100k Gold 200k and Platinum still 300k. Lots of albums now managing well over 100k getting to 200k (double the sales) but fall short of scraping platinum so get no further recognition. Changing the levels would confuse looking at awards across years though so perhaps keep the existing ones and just introduce some new levels
  22. Bounce 511k from the sales report if I'm remembering rightly? "Feels so close" to the hit below it! (See what I did there?!) They were always really close even when they were 1st out but glad to see Bounce winning. I remember them topping 300k and that being a lot he seems to be selling well on cherry picks by the uplift in the figures given compared to when they left the main chart
  23. Nice to see Kylie in one top 10 at least. And lol at rumours (nearly 40 years on!)
  24. Will we be getting sales for these or is someone attempting that later? Wasn't listening at the mo so not sure they're telling on the show?
