Chamber Of Secrets for me. How 3-6 could have any votes so far is beyond me.

Wtf is that?

I'd imagine Little Mix can manage around 110-120k. Surely their preorders must have been at least 30k?

I don't like Thunder. It's really far too bland to be a single at all, let alone the lead single in the US! I really don't understand some of the decisions they're making. Almost everything we've heard so far is stronger than this.

Titanic for me. It was a huge achievement but it's not a movie I would watch multiple times anymore. I just don't think there's anything left in it for me to get. Everything else that's left is just fantastic.

The vocals are obviously fantastic but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by those snippets. It all sounds a bit mid-tempo and bland to me. After Fire, I was hoping for a lot more punch. I Got You and Another Love Song sound great so it would have been good to get snippets of them. I don't know, I'll reserve judgement for now and keep my fingers crossed for something special.

I'm watching the finale tonight but this has been a strange season for me. No real story to carry through, because I'm certainly not counting the Praise Norma story which was at least 6 episodes too long. Pennsatucky has been fantastic this season and Suzanne's turn at porn stories had me laughing. That was filthy! Apart from that, I've not been really hooked on anything else. I still can't stand Alex though. Don't know what it is, I just detest her. Piper is an idiot too. The supporting cast in this show is so good that they get away with having such an unlikeable lead character, which is very unusual.

Season 3 is the best. It just gets better. Honestly, it felt like every episode had some form of cliffhanger and you could tell it was building to a blinding finale. It didn't disappoint one bit. It was absolutely thrilling and very emotional.

I found season 3 to be a bit of a slog to be honest. Vera is still by far the best thing about this (although Freddie plays a blinder too) but I just struggled to get through some of it. If it didn't have such stunning lead performances from those two, I'd have given up about halfway through I think.

Well I'm bumping this because I just finished season 3. Granted that's not UK pace, so I won't spoil, but good god!! This is one of the best shows on tv. It's absolutely superb. What a finale! Is anyone still watching?

The only thing I'm a bit confused about is why they've filmed a video for what they want you to believe is a live studio sessions, but yet it has Leona's original vocal on it. There's no live vocal on it at all.

Jesus that version is incredible! The extra instruments, the epic harmonies on the big FIRE notes - it's so much better!! It adds that oomph the original studio version is missing. It's amazing!

Well holy hooker. A $204 million opening weekend in the U.S. and well over $500 million worldwide. Instant record breaker on the worldwide market and 2nd to the Avengers in the U.S. by only $3 million. Don't think anyone saw that coming. This could well end up the 3rd biggest movie ever.

If the $70+ million figure for Friday is accurate, and we'll find out within the next couple of hours, this is definitely opening upwards of $155 million. To compare, Furious 7 made $67 million on Friday and $147.2 million overall, so it should have a fairly similar trajectory to that. It may even be higher, as it might have a better Friday-Saturday hold than Furious 7 did. That's astonishing. I thought it would do well, but not that well. To me, the trailers just look like they've thrown literally everything they could think of at this movie, and I feel like I've seen the whole thing already. Clearly I'm in the minority though! EDIT: Ok wow. $82.8 million opening day. 3rd best of all time. It's now tracking for between $180-$195 million. Amazing.

Very bland and boring. Sounds like something that was leftover from the Echo sessions. The lyrics are so cliche. I'm really concerned something this dull made the album.

Someone gave Up a -5?? This is unacceptable.

No doubt about it. It's number 39 on iTunes at the moment but dropping hard. It really doesn't deserve that, it's such a shame.

Without a miracle, it's sadly impossible. She'll be out of the top 40 on iTunes by tonight. Predicting around 50 on Sunday's chart.

Nah. Leona was moved forward by 3 weeks with only 3 days notice.

Can't see it. Probably 45ish.

Back in dark red and has dipped to number 23.

That massive rise on US iTunes is really strange, but very encouraging. She needs to get promo kickstarted over there ASAP to capitalise on that. If we have to watch them waste every good opportunity they could get, it'll be so disheartening. I hope they do a better job of promoting over there than they have done in the UK. One performance on a show nobody watches just doesn't cut it.

Yes the lack of support from the popular stations is extremely frustrating. There's really no reason for them to ignore her. She's shown that she is so much more than a former X Factor singer. It's astonishing that radio would so arrogantly ignore a homegrown talent that has sold 20 million records. Just noticed that she's back to number 22.

Yeah I just saw that. I'm really surprised it has been that stable since last night. She had 4 dark red updates in a row and that would usually be the start of the big drop for a new release. Well if she can hang on for another day or two she might just make the top 40 after all. If she sells consistently she should shift 10-15k so it'll be a close call. It'll come down to how much streaming is going to push her down.

I can see her being around 50ish on iTunes at the end of the week, so there's no way she's going to chart that high. 24 hours in the top 30 during what's already a really low sales week isn't going to afford her many sales, and there are numerous songs that will push her down 20+ places in the official charts because they have better streaming. It's a complete fail on all counts.
