perfecto

:huh: maybe i got the days mixed up :wacko: could it be released on the wednesday then? i'm pretty sure it lost a day's worth of sales they were talking about it on the pulse forum thats where i got this info from ;)

xtina's album was riding the wave of first latin explosion in 1999/2000 when ricky martin and enrique were making it big, but she never recorded a spanish album again cause the trend ended, but now its started up again spanish music is "in" but there is a crucial difference between xtina's latin album and shakira's FO1 and that is FO1 crossed over to non latin markets but xtina's album didn't, it wasn't a huge hit worldwide and didn't have any worldwide top 10 hits like "la tortura", now we are seeing j-lo doing the same after shakira which is trying to cross a spanish single around the world not just aim for the latin markets, i think if/when xtina makes a spanish album her record company will target the world with it like "la tortura"

well i'm looking at the bigger picture and i bet the bush admin are loving this, the longer it goes on for them the better, i bet george has called tony and asked him to drag it out as long as possible keep iran in the headlines and not make a deal yet for their release, give the british public another dose of negativity about iran so making the case for war easier i have no idea what iran govt is doing :wacko: this is making them look bad adding fuel to the fire, they seem to be spooked and panicing by doing what they've done, they may even be paranoid that an invasion is coming soon cause i can't understand why they have acted in this way, it is playing into the bush admins hands, but the fact remains whatever happens diplomacy must win out!! why should violence be the only answer!? i'm not putting up another war of west Vs east f*** that!! no f***ing way!! all that destruction and death plus its going to put us the british public in danger from terrorists again cause we are so close to bush and his war hungry neocons

time for analysis: shakira has just started a trend with FO1 thats why beyonce is going for the latin market just like j-lo is now doing and next up nelly cause their record companies have seen how shakira is successful with it and can cross spanish music over to non spanish markets (which btw is a very difficult thing to do) but they see potential $$$ so they are going to go for it, i can't see any of them doing better than shakira she has a history in spanish music she writes in the language and tahts crucial it gives her credibilty and raises the bar high for all her peers i think we'll see xtina and britney singing in spanish too but the problem is credibility whether all of them come across as authentic or just wanting $$$, the latin audience will reject it otherwise, i think nelly is the only one going about it the right way by writing songs in spanish first at least she'd doing it the proper way

i like it too, the production is so good those heavy beats plus the fast and deep voices it works so well, i loved how shakira used it and took it to another level with fusing in la tortura

"La Camisa Negra" is such a classic!! i'm so happy it did well for him globally

alex syntek and ana torroja "duele el amor"

how about alex syntek and ana torroja "duele el amor" i love that song!! i haven't heard much latin music but when i heard this for the first time i loved it! his voice is really good, love the guitar and melody, her voice is a bit elfish but its good the contrast works, i prefer his voice overall a great great track!! :wub: hear listen...

i saw this coming just like with alesha, all saints and emma, you can work out who will be dropped what with under performing singles and albums plus if the singer does alot of promo work in the media like TV like all the above and that still doesn't turn into healthy sales then you know its bad news the public aren't into you and you are losing alot of money for the record compnay, also in the dangerzone aka dropzone are i predict matt willis and jamelia will be next to be dropped also lil chris

yup it was a tuesday and they start counting the digital sales on the day before so it lost crucial sales around 25k i'd say :( this week i don't think BL will get #1 cause Gwen is now a contender she will be on AI :rolleyes: and her digital sales should boost up Akon still looks strong though, i really hope BL continues to sell well to make up for its so so airplay, i'd say the following week it will get to #1 it really needs Beyonce's promo support to help it along

Akon previously had the record but they broke it :cheer: here is an article from billboard: Akon lands his second No. 1 Hot 100 hit on the album "Konvicted" as "Don't Matter" jumps 3-1 on the chart, where it is the fastest growing track at radio for a fifth week. The song follows "I Wanna Love You," which held No. 1 for two weeks in December. Another track from the album, "Smack That," peaked at No. 2 in November after making what was then the largest jump (95-7) in the history of the Hot 100. That distinction now belongs to Beyonce and Shakira's "Beautiful Liar," which rockets 94-3 thanks to digital sales of 150,000 copies. The track comes from a new edition of Beyonce's "B-Day" album, due April 3.

B is for Beekira! A is for ArcMonk cause they have moved up to A List, you bast*rdS!! not the arctic monkeys no but Radio 1!! actually B is better than nothing ;)

yeah Akon decided to also battle for #1 this week and he got it, in the end it was too much to ask for to leap #94 to #1 but to #3 is still very impressive but its all about next week, BL should secure #1

Animal City (the Promo Squad Edit)

Its good to have you back Ashley, the weather was bad here too apart from yesterday or was it the day before it was sunny and quite warm....thats very interesting :wacko: :lol:

the film is hypocritical they are trying to bring their idea and values of "freedom" to the east and battle the ennemies mysticism and tyranny but the spartans had slaves...hello!? and believed in oracles, it is stupid film for trisha audience mentality, the visuals may be impressive but you need more than that to make it a good film plus gerard is a clone of russell crowe's gladiator character with a dodgy accent, and there is something gay about all these men being together all the time and really looking after their bodies wearing very little, at night they are at a gay disco i bet you have to admit the timing of this film is suspicious, we all know the bush admin want a war with Iran aka Persia next and its not a coincidence that every month iran is in the headlines, they are slowly trying to get public opinon against iran and sell a war to the public, its the same thing with iraq the way the politicians and media tried to win the public over to agree to a war, plus the film says its ok to die for the "cause" aka its ok for soldiers to die fighting in iraq and iran its a great honour...wtf!! don't worry or be sad, so are they just fodder? plus doesn't it matter if it was for a legal war of not? hollywood has links to neocons and the think tank that bush listens too, 24 is written by one and is always anti foriengers anti middle east reinforcing the stereotype of the terrorist and trying to promote fear of "muslims", they also tried to justify jack using torture!? so torture is ok now? plus the military has links too, the film "stealth" was in part funded by the military and it was used to try and recruit US male teens with its propaganda, it was also to say to the world the US military is superior in technology and fire power, computer games that glamourise war have links to military websites too, its all a bit dodgy using mind games but not everyone falls for it cause you need more than a film to convince people going to war with iran is ok

yeah poor sarah but great for teabag catching up with that guy and the money, i hope they don't kill him off :unsure:

hot mamas :lol: how about this one... 4CSN2CASzp8 and this trio....

the song has climbed to #24 on the Top 40 airplay its bullet is 551 with an audience of 15.262 million i'm very happy with its progress nice and steady.... but i'm expecting boosting very soon as soon as this weeks hot 100 billboard charts are revealed, radio station will see BL at either #1 or #2 they will play it more and it will rocket up also you can see many songs just ahead of BL losing airplay and falling at a good rate these are #23 FRAY -232 #22 FALL OUT BOY -442 #21 LLOYD -102 #17 LUDACRIS -1457 #16 RIHANNA -431 this will make BL's climb easier ;)
