    Most of my least favourites in the final 12 have gone now, namely The Feeling and Silly Alan. :thumbup:

     

    I really like Crazy, surprised it has done so badly in the countdown. Madonna and the All Saints ones are OK, nothing special. Not much of a fan of I Don't Feel Like Dancing. I think the Scissor Sisters older stuff is much better.

     

    Looking forward to the rest of the chart anyway.

    1) Fairytale Of New York - Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl

    2) Do They Know Its Christmas? - Band Aid/2/20

    3) Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon & Yoko

    4) Stay Another Day - East 17

    5) Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade

    6) White Christmas - Bing Crosby

    7) Stop The Cavalry - Jona Lewie

    8) Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin Stevens

    9) I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard

    10) Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee (Kim Wilde & Mel Smith cover)

     

    I think he was talking about the lyrics to the overly-PC Ronan Keating version :puke2:

     

    That version is awful. I thought No Use For A Name's cover wasn't too bad though. Of course nothing could top the original Pogues/Kirsty MacColl version. Great record, and definitely the best Christmas single we've had to date.

     

    I don't like Mariah, but considering All I Want For Christmas Is You is 1) A Christmas single and 2) a Mariah single, it isn't that awful.

    A top 10 follow up to a No.1 is good but despite Smiley Faces reaching No.10 I would hardly call it a huge success following a No.1 song which sold over 3 quarters of a million copies...

     

    It couldn't really have been expected to match Crazy's success. That was number one for 9 weeks and is the biggest selling single of the year so far. Smiley Faces had a decent chart run as well. I don't think it did badly considering most people said they would be one hit wonders.

     

     

    it might be the world oldest proffession, but isnt it about time it was consigned to history? like kids sweeping victorian chimneys lol.

     

    I've never used prostitutes myself, but I think as long as there are horny blokes who can't get their end away and want a quick easy fix, and women who are prepared to do it for cash there will always be prostitution. So it probably will never go away.

    All this info is from Wikipedia, so take it with a pinch of salt:

     

    A- Jason Perry (vocalist) is working with Matt Willis :lol: . Adam Perry (drummer) may be joining Bloodhound Gang, Daniel P. Carter (bass guitarist) is rumoured to become the host of Radio One's Rock Show.

     

    Alien Ant Farm- Tye Zamora (bass guitarist) left in April to go to college, and has been replaced by Alex Barretto. They have released two albums since ANThology, and, oddly enough, a DVD called BUSted. :lol:

     

    Sum 41- They had a couple of albums since All Killer No Filler (called Does This Look Infected and Chuck), which did OK-ish in the US and well in their native Canada. Dave Baksh (lead guitarist) quit in May, they'll be hiring a session guitarist to replace him, but he won't officially be in the band. Jason McCaslin (bass guitarist) is starting a side-project with Juliette Lewis. Deryck Whibley (vocalist) married Avril Lavigne in July this year and will be working on her next album.

     

    Wheatus- The line-up has changed many, many times. Brendan B. Brown (lead singer) is the only original member of the band still left in it.

     

    OPM-Matthew Meschery, who was the lead singer, main songwriter and provided most of the music, quit after the first album and now is a DJ on an American radio station. The rest have released a couple of albums since.

     

    Linkin Park- Said to be releasing their third studio album in early 2007. They say it "definitely isn't nu-metal".

     

    Unkle Kraker- Released an album in 2004. Rumoured to be releasing a new album next year.

     

     

     

     

     

    Can tell you don't have kids. I'm sure a parent would not sit by and watch their daughter be a prostitute. It's not the same as the army. You keep comparing it to milkmen etc, but it's selling yourself for money! Does that not seem bad to you?

     

    According to the reports, a lot of the parents in this case didn't know their daughter was a prostitute. It's probably something they wouldn't want their parents to know about.

     

    Most of the prostitutes in this case are indeed women who went off the rails at some point and got caught up in drug addiction. As has been said, whatever you think of prostitutes and whatever situation these particular girls got themselves into, they don't deserve to be murdered. I hope they catch whoever is doing it soon. From what has been said it sounds like the enjoy the 'power' they might have from taunting the police or whatever.

    1) Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars (100 points)

    2) Gnarls Barkley- Crazy

    3) Nelly Furtado- Maneater

    4) Pink- Who Knew

    1) Nerina Pallot - Everybody's Gone To War :wub: (7 points)

    2) Nelly Furtardo - Maneater :wub:

    3) Orson- No Tomorrow :wub:

    4) Pink- Who Knew :wub:

    5) Pipettes- Pull Shapes

    6) Ordinary Boys - Boys Will Be Boys

    7) Pussycat Dolls Feat Snoop Dog - Buttonz (1 point)

     

    I really like the top 4. It's a shame they're all in the same group in a way, but I think this is the best group of songs in this so far. This is the first one where I've quite liked all 7 songs, although I have gone of The Ordinary Boys in a big way, and I've never particularly cared for the Pussycat Dolls.

    It is a fake. Katie Price can actually sing, believe it or not.

     

    No she can't. :lol:

     

    Even if this is fake, she sounds c**p on the 'real' version. But as Grami says, this record is just the oompa loompa and his plastic whore trying to get publicity for themselves in the name of charidee. It's nothing more than a naff novelty record like the Crazy Frog. You always get them at Christmas time.

    1) Gnarls Barkley- Crazy (7 points)

    2) Girls Aloud- Something Kinda Oooh

    3) Jamelia- Beware Of The Dog

    4) The Fratellis- Chelsea Dagger

    5) James Morrison- You Give Me Something

    6) Infernal- From Paris To Berlin

    7) José González - Heartbeats (1 point)

    Take That will win I think, but overall I'd say that's a pretty good list of hit songs from this year. The only one I seriously dislike is the Sandi Thom one, but that was a fairly, erm, significant hit this year.
