2011 Y/E Top 100 Singles/Albums (with estimated sales)
That is very subjective what is unmemorable and what is not. Dominick The Donkey will definitely be memorable for me for instance :D

I know but the name you gave to them is a bit contradictory :P

Non-#1s? They were all proper #1s! Their chart life was short though hence they duly don't appear in the year end Top 100.

The 2011 Buzzjack Chart Awards: Song Of The Year
If you take peaks into account, even Swagger Jagger will be a smash hit, just like you noticed. The "Hit" tag can only be added based on a chart performance, longevity, long term chart run and, above all, overall sales. Of course peaks are also important but they can't determine a song becoming a hit. Besides your list looks like a wikipedia source including countries that don't even have official singles charts (Poland, Slovakia) and those that have multiple charts (Belgium, Japan). Not that I hate the song (I wasn't even bothered to listen to it properly to be honest), I just expressed my opinion about the list's accuracy.

The 2011 Buzzjack Chart Awards: Song Of The Year
Actually it was a flop almost everywhere, a very short runner in places where it managed to chart high. Anyway, I chose 2 songs of Adele and Olly Murs.

I hate this song. Nowadays there's hardly anything good that can sell well, sadly.

Poll : Physicals v Downloads - which do you prefer?
Physicals for both. I don't like paying for products that I can't touch.

Lady Gaga album first week sales
I never said that this album had no artistic value. I said her music is bubble-gum, primitive pop. I based it on the singles, fair enough. It's obvious that my opinion is not a fact. This thread is all about opinions though, not facts! To be honest, forums in general are for people to express their opinions, aren't they? I expressed mine and no-one asked you to interact with me. You can agree or not. In the second case, feel free to post your opposite opinion but stop telling me what to do or what to think. Having said that, you should really get over it, not me. For me her dumb dancey singalongs are classified as chav music which is why I don't want her to sell a lot, full stop.

Lady Gaga album first week sales
You're right, I'm not from the UK and I may not fully understand the meaning of a chav although I was already explained it here, on this site. If I used the wrong word, sorry. What I meant to say is people who don't listen to music for its quality but for the fuss and buzz around it. Simply because it's it's trendy and all around on the media, but most of all because it comes from America, which is absolutely ridiculous. Of course I haven't listened to the album, it didn't even come out as far as I know. I haven't even listened to her first album in full. The singles are enough for me to say it's not my cup of tea. Cheap, catchy bubble-gum pop, that's it. No artistic value whatsoever.
