I don't love it yet. I think it's the lyrics - they seem very simplistic, like you can predict the rhyme before it comes. The production seems a bit of a throwback to Full Moon as well. Afrodisiac was a fantastic album though so I'm still excited about hearing more new material. I didn't like 'Talk About Our Love' at all but I loved every other song on the album.

She was in the older category. There were lots of references to her dead dad in the interview packages

I think that's right too. A lot of Grannys bought Candle In The Wind and - though it's a generalisation - I can't see many of them shopping on iTunes.

One Sweet Day. #1 for 16 weeks. It's Like That. #16 for 1 week. Not that chart positions mean anything of course.

Legal downloads will go up if people are forced to stop illegally downloading. That's the next logical step. I don't think physical singles will benefit really.

Album version. The remix is fine though. It's not as imaginative as the hip-hop remix for Touch My Body but not as offensively bad as the silly noises and Jay Z rapping on 'Bye Bye'

I can't stand that Kid Rock song so Katy by default
