The Apprentice (UK)
I can't at Camilla most likely winning this. She is undoubtedly one of the most inept candidates ever. She's totally unprofessional, makes absolutely ludicrous decisions and has shown not an ounce of business acumen in the entire series. Sian is the better businessperson but there's no way he's investing in a swimwear business. It's a crowded market that she's pretty much already priced herself out of. The only way she's winning is if Camilla makes an absolute dog's dinner of the final presentation (which is highly likely to be fair). I thought Daniel had it in the bag, until all the little lies started to unravel. Which was a shame, because Claude did highlight some really impressive stuff that his business is already doing. He was sacked purely on the personality/trustworthiness issues.

RuPaul's Drag Race // All Stars 4
I enjoyed the episode but it did feel a bit undercooked for an All Star opener. I expected a bit more. Trinity is everything. She's a great performer, looks incredible and can clap-back like a champion. I feel like Trinity is going to do an Alaska and absolutely dominate this season. Gia on the other hand...nope. She looks beautiful. She really is stunning, but there's not even a glimmer of humour in her attitude. She's just vicious and it looks like she'll just target the more sensitive queens, like Farrah. I can see Trinity being one of the only ones to properly lock horns with her. I'm here for that. Having said that, Gia's talent show performance was actually really great. So different and really quite beautiful. And some of those reads were so awful. You'd think they'd never done it before. Farrah in particular was dreadful.

Avengers: Endgame
The title is perfect. It's what I've been saying since the last movie.

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep
I'd imagine it'll be completely separate from the original, but it'll be interesting if the exposure gives Leona's solo track a boost. What I do find odd is that they're making an overtly Christmas song the winner's single for Scarlett, yet the other 2 are not Christmas songs so will work any time of the year. This really limits the appeal for Scarlett's single massively. Unless......and it's a big unless......the new duet version of One More Sleep is not about Christmas at all. They've maybe rewritten it as a ballad about it being one more sleep until a lover comes home or something along those lines.

Strictly Come Dancing • Series 16
I don't watch Strictly, but I've been following Faye's progress. She's so great and her dance last night was absolutely fantastic! So different, so well done and so deserving of the top score.
-
The Lion King
Wow. This looks absolutely stunning. This is going straight into the top 10 of all time isn't it? It's going to be absolutely huge.

Dumbo ● Live-action remake
This looks absolutely gorgeous. And if your heart didn't cry at his little yelp when his mum is getting taken away, you're dead inside.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd November 2018
I'm surprised Kylie's track is gaining traction like that. I love her but it does nothing for me at all. It's so dull, I feel like I'm missing something.

The X Factor • Series 15
No matter who goes tonight, at least one terrible act will make it to the final. A+A and Anthony should have been gone weeks ago. I'm really amazed by Dalton's vocal ability. He's astonishing and could well be the best singer X Factor has ever seen. He's winning this by the biggest margin ever surely.

The Apprentice (UK)
Sabrina's business plan must be absolutely amazing, because I can't see one single redeeming quality about her or anything she has done recently. There's this very off-putting nature about her too, when she's laughing when being criticised. I thought it was nervous laughter to begin with, but actually it just comes across as arrogance sometimes. Camilla too, good lord, she is absolutely useless. Doesn't have one ounce of common sense about her and has made some absolutely horrendous decisions. She comes across as pretty devious too.

OCC: Spice Girls Best Selling Singles
A bit of research would have saved you time here. That's a no to them all. Westlife's single sales were very low. Outside of Baby One More Time, Britney didn't sell much either. Most of her singles are well under 500k.
-
OCC: Spice Girls Best Selling Singles
Really?? They've got 4th singles from albums that have sold around 800k. Stop was a blip. They were massive sellers, with huge first week sales. But you have to consider that the albums sold insanely huge amounts too, which would always impact single sales. Between their first 2 albums, they sold 4.6 million in the UK alone.

Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow
It's a done deal. Ariana's number are absolutely massive.

OCC: Spice Girls Best Selling Singles
Say You'll Be There was so close to being a million seller the last time I saw sales for it. It'll surely get there eventually. EDIT: I hadn't refreshed the page after being on it for a while so missed the reply above! That's great news.

A Star is Born
Yeah, Sam was fantastic. The scene in the car where Bradley tells him it wasn't his dad he idolised, it was him, and Sam's reaction, absolutely broke me.

OCC: Robyn's Best Selling Singles
It's a disgrace that Callum Scott's version of Dancing On My Own is a million seller but the infinitely superior original has only sold just over 300k. What an injustice.

Friday Chart Predictions
The classification of the album as a Motion Picture Cast Recording is irritating. It's only that because of the dialogue tracks, some of which are mere seconds long and feature one other actor saying one line. Gaga and Cooper are the only two performers on that soundtrack, and wrote the material. It really should be officially credited to them.

Friday Chart Predictions
But that's just factually incorrect though. The Cure was a top 20 hit and spent 8 weeks in the top 40 4 months after Million Reasons peaked.

Friday Chart Predictions
This whole arguement is absolutely ludicrous. To say anyone could have had a number 1 with the song is flawed, given that Gaga wrote it. If she wasn't in the movie, the music as it is, wouldn't exist. And it says something that it's Shallow and 2 Gaga solo songs that are charting. Fact is, the music is fantastic and the movie is superb. That's why it's doing well. Having the number 1 single, album and movie in the country at the same time is no mean feat so let's just appreciate what a fantastic achievement it is.

Lady Gaga - US Chart Runs & Sales
Not really. Perfect Illusion and G.U.Y were nowhere near as successful.

Predicta: A Star Is Born vs Venom vs Johnny English (UK)
A Star Is Born is holding superbly in the US. It and Venom made the same amount of money yesterday. It won't be long before Star is outperforming it. EDIT: In fact, the updated predictions for this weekend are in and A Star Is Born is expected to be number 1.

God damn, Gaga's going to miss out by about 500 copies isn't she? Sigh.

Friday Chart Predictions
I'm dying to know what the gap between Gaga and twenty one pilots is today.

Friday Chart Predictions
Ah, no maybe not. I maybe wrongly assumed it was. I ordered me a signed one.

They've put Trench back up to £9.99 already, right after Polydor tweeted that there are signed copies of A Star Is Born in the store. Carnage.
