perfecto

it works really well, i'm surprised more artists aren't hiring them to remix their tracks, after the high profile successes of "Deja Vu" and "Beautiful Liar" remixes you'd think record companies would be all over them. i think they are quite picky about who they work with but i'm glad they took on the DC girls i love those 90s R'n'B beats and remixes so this is an unexpected move by the freemason boys but they have a good ear and can handle this kind of production too. also check out the longer mixes of "work" cause they give kelly the dance treatment in the beginning before switching tempo in the middle to the R'n'B meets Bhangra fusion and then back to dance for the climax.

excellent update!! didn't have to wait for sunday for britney and souljah boy to overtake leon. what about nickleback how close are they to #4? i don't know, i think she has a few potential singles but i really want "lets start a band" its the best track imo. it grabs you on first listen, its dynamic love the way it builds up and the production is perfection!

i hope come sunday souljah boy and britney spears catch up with leon and shove simon cowell's new cash cow down, i want to see him do a mcfly chart run descent down the chart ;) great for amy mcdonald!! i hope she continues to climb higher, i waiting for her to release the excellent "let's start a band" next

these remixes are pretty outstanding, the original is too basic and boring but the freemasons worked their magic. the 10 minute club version is fire :music:

clearly Annie Lennox, her voice is really distinctive and has that rare quality of being soulful too like another great british singer dusty springfield. dido sounds similar to other singers and a bit forced before she came out i thought she was copying sarah mclachlan's singing style

Dido will have to do tons of promo this time around if she doesn't she will under sell like blunt, mariah carey will do ok here but massive in the US all she needs is another WBT out of the bag. i think madonna will do well i love "4 minutes to save the world". but it sounds like a timbaland track featuring justin and madonna not a madonna track at all. she is definately courting the urban pop market and with timbaland and justin she can't fail. she wants to make sure US radio plays her and they will love 4 minutes! ashlee simpson and janet flopping

i really like it! its distinctive, although i wish wyclef had given her more like the bridge or ad libs at the end. the production is amazing so much going on. but my favourite track is bollywood meets hollywood what a monster of a track that is! fusion at its best!!

i don't believe there is a single called temptress and that she has worked with snoop dogg. how has she had time to record new song or songs and delivered this song so it can be previewed by someone. shakira doesn't let sony hear anything she does until her whole album is finished and she takes her time with her albums, she says to them "see you in 6 months" when she begins each new project. also remember she tweaked "la tortura" for one month after it was supposed to be done, she kept adding and changing till it was to her liking. i am sure she has written many songs while travelling and in her time off but as far as going to the studio to arrange and record them i highly doubt it. she has not had a big chunk of time to do this. an album coming late 2008 sounds good and timing wise is doable if she starts working in the studio soon. i'm sure it will be like all shakira's previous album ecclectic with commercial and uncommercial tracks maybe with spanish and english tracks combined instead of the double fixation project which is hard work for her promo wise. it means we may get less songs cause she won't split the album in two. but i reckon we will get many songs like up to 15 on the one album.

they did amazingly well considering no promo support from either of them in the UK market

cool i will check it

i'm excited too what is David up too? i can't wait to find out out also bring Blanche back to Roy's Rolls i want to see her serving customers again :lol: she needs to be on every episode

alot of their core buyers are mums and nans and they don't download much. they may not even know how to use a computer :cheer: thats why wetslife struggle digitally. louis has to rely on physicals to get them hits. also mcfly struggle too but for different reasons....many of their buyers are children and young teenagers they don't have credit cards :cheer: another act that relies on physicals

great news about westlife :D i hope timbaland denies them #3 also would like mcfly to be squeezed out of the top10. come on robyn enter the top10!!

i agree tis a rather fine ditty :cheer: shakira showing her diversity...she can write and produce tracks in the pop/dance genre too. i just wish it got released here and in the US.

yeah its a great song and deserves to do well. its doing so so in the US at #40 on airplay it has only just cracked 1000 spins i hope it keeps building up, the radio promo tour wyclef is doing should encourage the radio stations to play him more. i hope wyclef comes here to do promo in the UK and tell us more about working with shakira. UK release date for his album is 3rd december... look here... http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=719659 i like the cover and see that price £8.99 is a bargain yes :D also 2 bonus tracks 2nd single is i think the TI collabo "Slow Down"

excellent!! plus its only (£9.99 inc delivery) bargain price if you ask me. look here... http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=733399 hello whats this.... Las De La Intuicion [Live - Mexico] :o could it be? an error? please let it be for real! :w00t:

it depends how the single does digitally :rolleyes: if it cracks the top10 and stays there for a bit then 12 but if it doesn't then the drop should be quite horrific ^_^

no surprise Leona doing well it seems 2% of the X factor audience are buying it giving her BIG sales. britney is falling makes sense cause she needs another version to boost her on itunes. leona has 2 versions, take that 3 versions. another mess up for britney...they pulled CD2 with the remixes and video also they didn't make the track available on UK 12" (this kind of club track would do well vinyl wise). these extra formats would help her Vs Mcfly. But they have 3 singles for £6 deal, TV promo push, text sales plus signings. Britney can't compete with that for #3. come sunday i expect to see: 1 Leona 2 Take That 3 McFly i think there will be a close battle for 4 Sugabaes Vs Britney

the album will be released in early december in the US. i think december 4th, wyclef is doing radio promo right now in the US.

:birthday:

its a reworking :rolleyes: a cover is when you don't change anything at all. HDL had new verses written by shakira, added production plus a new bridge.

wow very traditional and throwback, apparently this is a colombian bolero sound which would suit the film. i can't wait to hear the full track. also new info: Los Angeles (October 18, 2007) – To celebrate the release of the Colombia-set romantic drama Love in the Time of Cholera and her contributions to its soundtrack, international recording/performing sensation Shakira will give a special performance of songs from the soundtrack at a November 6 event serving both as the Las Vegas premiere of the film and as a benefit for The Bare Feet Foundation (Pies Descalzos Foundation). The evening, which takes place at the Palms Casino Resort beginning at 6:00 p.m., will be hosted by Stone Village Pictures, New Line Cinema, Scott Steindorff, and Robin and Danny Greenspun, and co-sponsored by the N9NE Group, the CineVegas Film Festival, Brenden Theatres and the Palms Casino Resort. The event kicks off with a dinner and silent auction at Rain nightclub, with all proceeds going to The Bare Feet Foundation, a Colombian nonprofit aiding children and their families established through the commitment of Shakira. Following the benefit dinner, Shakira will give a selection of songs from Love in the Time of Cholera. Winner of two Grammy Awards and eight Latin Grammys, the songstress collaborated with Stone Village Pictures to record original songs for the soundtrack. The evening concludes at the Palms’ Brenden Theatres with the Las Vegas premiere of Love in the Time of Cholera, which opens wide in the U.S. on November 16. “I am grateful to all of those behind this film who are supporting the important work of The Bare Feet Foundation. Bare Feet supports children and families who have been disenfranchised and displaced by the ongoing conflict in my native Colombia, the beautiful land which Garcia Marquez describes with such lushness in Love in the Time of Cholera,” said Shakira. “Shakira is a woman with immense talent and compassion, and it comes through poignantly in her music and even more so in her actions. My partners, Robin and Danny Greenspun and I, are honored to collaborate with her as an artist and as a humanitarian and hope this event will draw attention to the fine work The Bare Feet Foundation does on a daily basis” said Scott Steindorff of Stone Village Pictures. Love in the Time of Cholera tells the epic love story of a man who waits 50 years for the love of his life amid the lush, romantic backdrop of early 20th century South America. Based on Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s acclaimed book of the same title, Love in the Time of Cholera was adapted for the screen by Academy Award winner Ronald Harwood (The Pianist) and directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral). The film stars Academy Award nominee Javier Bardem, Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Benjamin Bratt. About The Bare Feet Foundation: The Bare Feet Foundation was born in Barranquilla, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, in the mid-1990s when international recording artist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Shakira decided to take the social compromise of encouraging and advocating for education, nutrition, and health of the most vulnerable population: children. The Foundation runs support programs for children and their families, offering solutions to improve their quality of life and providing opportunities to execute their right to education, paving the way for their growth and development in society.

the reason why SOULJA BOY is so popular is cause its all about the soulja boy dance craze. its the 2007 macarena or follow the leader leader leader follow the leader :wacko:

oh i didn't know that -_- its gonna be tough for "gimme more" to beat him now, selling over 20k is doable but with ronson's physicals he will be boosting past her :nocheer:

britney has a chance at #2 doesn't she? the sales for ronson at #2 last week were under 20k. i hope she can catch him up and over take unless he is increasing this week. also when is the cut off point on itunes for sales counting towards this sundays chart? is it saturday midnight? if it is and britney is #1 for the whole of friday and saturday she should be able to do it.
