  1. I can't remember exactly but it was in the 70's. 75 I think. But it was only for a day maximum if I recall correctly.
  2. I wonder how they distinguish between a 9.1 and a 9.2. Just what would make that 0.1 difference. What a stupid system.
  3. Swapnil juice made me laugh. Kelly's dress was well made and she deserved the win, but Ashley's was really cute too. Overall, Candice is still my favourite designer. I think she'll create a really striking collection, and I think she's the most identifiable from her designs alone. She has a real aesthetic that's very consistent. I'd like either her or Ashley to win.
  4. That was probably the most glaring example of how the judges' scores are deliberately manipulated to manufacture the result they want. Devin and Ashley both had the same challenge score, but Devin's commercial was absolutely atrocious. The judges completely ridiculed him (and rightly so), but yet he gets higher scores. How? That made literally no sense whatsoever. Because they don't give their scores out loud immediately after seeing the picture, it's just wide open for the whole thing to be rigged however they want from the start.
  5. Gaga at 94. I'm surprised it has got that high in a few hours. I thought it would fly completely under the radar.
  6. It's not a single or anything to do with her new album. It's the theme for a documentary.
  7. Gaga's Til it Happens To You is out and is 59p. Hope it can get somewhere.

    Good performance on Ellen. I still think they should have led with Fire in the US. It has much more performance impact.
  9. Jesus Christ Insomnio. It's fair enough you didn't like it, but was there any need to go to such lengths to be so judgemental and insulting to people who did? I'm 32, consider myself to be of reasonable intelligence, and am quite comfortable with the idea that I've indeed "grown up". I also happened to like the movie. Was it the best movie I've ever seen? Of course not. Did it deliver what I expect an Avengers movie to deliver? Yes. I can't really see what the actors lifestyles have to do with anything. They're not playing themselves after all. I also wonder what you anticipated going into this movie, if it wasn't a lot of action and explosions. The trailers alone should have put you off really.
  10. Return of the King really deserved to be in the top 5. It was robbed. +5 Marvel's The Avengers +4 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 +3 The Hunger Games +2 Toy Story 3 +1 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire -1 Guardians of the Galaxy -2 Finding Nemo -3 Forrest Gump -4 The Dark Knight Rises -5 Jurassic Park

    Digital Spy. Should've known better!

    Jesus wept, she's down to 14 in the midweeks already. She could legitimately miss the top 20. What a shambles.

    I didn't see it but she performed I Am, Better In Time, Fire, Bleeding Love, I Got You and Run. There may be others but that's all I've read so far.

    1 million worldwide? :blink: That will never happen! She'll be very lucky to sell 150k at this rate. Unless she stumbles on a miracle, she won't even get above 30k in the UK! Madonna isn't even over 800k worldwide with Rebel Heart and that opened to 100k in the US.
  15. I am so on board for this, it's ridiculous. Can't remember where I stopped watching the show. Think I probably got about 3 seasons in before it went to hell, and the movie is obviously incredible in its awfulness.

    It's not as easy as going by Spotify plays. If you take out the songs that were already available to stream, the play count decreases for every song as the album progresses. So it could really mean that people are stopping listening to it without getting to the end. The first album only song (YKMW) has 16k streams and the last song on the deluxe edition has just over 3k streams. Comparing that to Bring Me The Horizon's album (out for the same amount of time), where every track is over 190k streams, you can really see the huge difference in popularity. There's just a complete lack of interest in this album.

    Jonjo the difference between Leona and every artist you mentioned is that they all have worldwide careers, so it's always easier for them to kickstart their career again after a lacklustre campaign. Leona may as well be a brand new artist - her profile is either so low or completely non existent. She'll forever have to start again with every album campaign. People don't forget about those artists because they had many years of sustained success on a worldwide level before their first big disappointment. Leona doesn't have that luxury.

    You're right, her label spent next to nothing on the actual album as she'd pretty much done it all before signing with them, which makes it even more frustrating that they couldn't spend some of the money they'd saved on getting some real promotion. They've done literally nothing for her in the UK. I feel the same. I honestly can't see her having any kind of commercial success again.

    It's a really bad start and she'll no doubt fall to around 15 by the end of the week, given that her opening position includes all the pre-orders, and there are a few albums below her that are much more consistent than she'll be through the week. There's no recovering from that kind of opening either, so this will plummet over the next few weeks. The sales for this are likely to look pretty disastrous. It's totally possible she won't even make 10k this week. Benchmark for number 12 over the last few weeks is a meagre 3-6k. This is a much busier week so sales will be higher but they're not going to more than double. What an absolute mess.

    Was hoping for I Got You as next single. Don't like ALS at all.
  21. I've been totally confused by these results so far. Do people realise it's a least favourite poll? How Spider Man 3 and The Amazing Spider Man 2 managed to beat so many of those other movies is totally beyond me. As for X2 - it's easily in the top 3 of the movies that are left. So bizarre that people voted it out.
  22. Yes that was very awkward. I thought every outfit was hideous actually.

    No, absolutely not. I'd be shocked if she had 2,000. She may well not even have half of that.
  24. Toy Story v Finding Nemo
  25. Yes 2 weeks ago.
