We need the UK acts to start releasing at once. I'm sick of the American R and B nonsense clogging the charts. I really wish this country respected Europe and Australia a lot more than the US. About time we started to cut ties with them.

Didn't the Eastenders theme tune make the top 10?

This piece of crap winning a Bafta shows how stupid the UK public are for voting it. I could understand if "Gypsy Wedding" won as that has a side to it which is informative and gives us an insight on their lives....this however is a fake piece of nonsense,

Can't see this doing well. "Louder" fell out of the charts in a matter of weeks, this will be lucky to make top 40. Plus is it me or do they look like a bunch of tarts?

It just seem a bit offensive as Bruno Mars is obviously mixed race. Not that I object or anything, as monkeys and gorillas are my favourite animals.

Perhaps the re-entries are bought by people who want the old Gaga back ;)

It's like that at the one in Wolverhampton and Coventry - as soon as you walk in, there are the physicals.....although it is usual all the fiX-Factor $h!te and it's affiliates and some obscure charity record which made #101 or something. The Brum one only has a small section for physicals, again the same with perhaps the odd vinyl of an obscure Indie act. Also not meaning to sound P.C. but isnt the cover and the video a tad racist with the monkey masks?

Didn't he have a relationship with an under-age Aaliyah? Plus wasn't there a scandal with a tape where the girl was under 16? I don't know whether I crossed wires as the age of consent is probably 18 in the US?

01.R Kelly - Ignition Remix - It sickened me how a paedophile got to #1 in the UK. I don't like the song either. 02.Girls Aloud - No Good Advice - This was robbed. Easily one of their best singles. Love it! 03.Big Brovaz - Favourite Things - A weird cover version....was it "hoochie dresses and top-shop impressives" as the lyrics? 04.Sean Paul - Get Busy - Nah 05.Tomcraft - Loneliness - Nah 06.Lisa Scott-Lee - Lately - Cheap Kylie copy. Not as dire as her other two singles..... 07.Cheeky Girls - Take Your Shoes Off - Ewwww :puke2: 08.Craig David Featuring Sting - Rise And Fall - Both on the slide, and heading to the $h!tter in career stakes.....The former is non-existent. Boring song. 09.Bon Jovi - All About Lovin' You - Nah. 10.Bhangra Knights Vs Husan - Husan - I liked this :) 11.50 Cent - In Da Club - Overhyped $h!t.....shame Fiddy wasn't eliminated on shot nr 8 - we wouldn't be subject to his sexist ramblings. 12.Good Charlotte - Girls And Boys - I loved the video to this with the old granny ;) Catchy song though :) 13.Mr Redz Vs DJ Skribble - Everybody Come On (Can U Feel It) - Don't know it. 14.Busted - You Said No - Pathetic song. Lyrics like nursery children "I asked you to dance at the disco, but you said no" 15.Deftones - Minerva - Don't know it 16.Red 'N' White Machines - Southampton Boys - How the mighty fall.....Southampton were a mid-table Premier League side and made the FA Cup Final. Now they are in League One heading back to he Championship. Don't know the song. 17.DMX - X Gon' Give It To Ya -3 - Gangsta rap nonesense. 18.Lisa Maffia - All Over - I loved this!!! A bit chaotic the song and video, but it all works well. 19.Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Featuring Phil Collins - Home - Stupid rap sampling an 80s songs. 20.Kelly Rowland - Can't Nobody - Decent mid-tempo song :) 21.Ronan Keating - The Long Goodbye - I liked this. 22.The Wildhearts - So Into You - Don't know 23.Shed Seven - Why Can't I Be You - Don't know. 24.Androids - Do It With Madonna - I remember this...first saw it on a late night show in early 2003.....it wasn't bad. 25.Room 5 Featuring Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv - Desperate song. Notice how in the video, Oliver looks young, yet it was a 60 yr old man singing it thinking he was cool! 26.Junior Senior - Move Your Feet - I LOVED this and the Amstrad/NES type video. 27.Kym Marsh - Cry - Drippy ballad. 28.Plummet - Damaged - Don't know. 29.Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer {2003} - Still a classic. 30.The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Chicken - Don't know 31.Jennifer Lopez Featuring LL Cool J - All I Have - I like this one. My sister had the same coat J-LO had in the video! 32.Feeder - Forget About Tomorrow - Don't know. 33.Robbie Williams - Come Undone - This should have done better. One of Robbie's best. 34.Delta Goodrem - Born To Try - :heart: :wub: 35.Madonna - American Life - What were you thinking Madge? However, the flag idea with the video was clever. 36.Staind - Price To Play - Don't know 37.George Harrison - Any Road - Don't know 38.Clipse Featuring Faith Evans - Ma I Don't Love Her - Don't know 39.Less Than Jake - She's Gonna Break Soon - Don't know 40.Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round {2003} - How many times has this been released? Also is Pete a full transsexual now? SELECTED OTHERS!! 41.Avril Lavigne - I'm With You - Beautiful rock ballad 42.Gareth Gates And The Kumars - Spirit In The Sky - Nah. 43.Daniel Bedingfield - I Can't Read You = Nah. 47.Mis-teeq - Scandalous - Classic of my first year being an adult :) 49.David Sneddon - Don't Let Go - What happened to him? This was a gorgeous song (as was he ;)) 59.Dannii Minogue - I Begin To Wonder - I liked this :) 61.Him - Buried Alive By Love - C L A S S I C - Should have been huge!!! 62.Atomic Kitten - Love Doesn't Have To Hurt - Bland pop ballad. They lost it after the first album. 64.Richard X Vs Liberty X - Being Nobody - Very clever cover. I remember reading somewhere that Kelis refused to perform her collabriation with Richard X as she didn't like the song? 67.Coldplay - Clocks - One of their best :) 68.D Side - Speechless - Westlife with a bit more "oomph" - good single :) 69.DJ Sammy - The Boys Of Summer - Another silly dance 80s cover.

01.R Kelly - Ignition Remix 02.Girls Aloud - No Good Advice 03.Big Brovaz - Favourite Things 04.Sean Paul - Get Busy 05.Tomcraft - Loneliness 06.Lisa Scott-Lee - Lately 07.Cheeky Girls - Take Your Shoes Off 08.Craig David Featuring Sting - Rise And Fall 09.Bon Jovi - All About Lovin' You 10.Bhangra Knights Vs Husan - Husan 11.50 Cent - In Da Club 12.Good Charlotte - Girls And Boys 13.Mr Redz Vs DJ Skribble - Everybody Come On (Can U Feel It) 14.Busted - You Said No 15.Deftones - Minerva 16.Red 'N' White Machines - Southampton Boys 17.DMX - X Gon' Give It To Ya -3 18.Lisa Maffia - All Over 19.Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Featuring Phil Collins - Home 20.Kelly Rowland - Can't Nobody 21.Ronan Keating - The Long Goodbye 22.The Wildhearts - So Into You 23.Shed Seven - Why Can't I Be You 24.Androids - Do It With Madonna 25.Room 5 Featuring Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv 26.Junior Senior - Move Your Feet 27.Kym Marsh - Cry 28.Plummet - Damaged 29.Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer {2003} 30.The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Chicken 31.Jennifer Lopez Featuring LL Cool J - All I Have 32.Feeder - Forget About Tomorrow 33.Robbie Williams - Come Undone 34.Delta Goodrem - Born To Try 35.Madonna - American Life 36.Staind - Price To Play 37.George Harrison - Any Road 38.Clipse Featuring Faith Evans - Ma I Don't Love Her 39.Less Than Jake - She's Gonna Break Soon 40.Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round {2003} SELECTED OTHERS!! 41.Avril Lavigne - I'm With You 42.Gareth Gates And The Kumars - Spirit In The Sky 43.Daniel Bedingfield - I Can't Read You 47.Mis-teeq - Scandalous 49.David Sneddon - Don't Let Go 59.Dannii Minogue - I Begin To Wonder 61.Him - Buried Alive By Love 62.Atomic Kitten - Love Doesn't Have To Hurt 64.Richard X Vs Liberty X - Being Nobody 67.Coldplay - Clocks 68.D Side - Speechless 69.DJ Sammy - The Boys Of Summer

It makes me sad when I go through all of these charts from the 1990s and realise how even unknown acts and different styles do well. Now it is who has the biggest fan base, too much of the same genre and hype machines frontloading sales. I reckon someone like Bruno Mars would fail miserably in a 1991 chart......

01.Cher - The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)- I quite like this, and "Mermaids" is a great film :) Haven't seen it years though.... 02.KLF Featuring The Children Of The Revolution - Last Train To Trancentral - This is one of the most epic songs of the 1990s. 1991 was the year of the KLF. 03.Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) - Oh God, this song got on my nerves, though I probably annoyed family members with the "la da dee" bits back in the day (I was 6 ;)) The thing is, this would be a good song with better lyrics. 04.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Sailing On The Seven Seas - Catchy and a good song 05.Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) - Another classic from this year. Very catchy and a good one to dance too 06.Beverley Craven - Promise Me - This song is beautiful. A gorgeous ballad by a beautiful voice and woman. 07.Zucchero Featuring Paul Young - Senza Una Donna (Without A Woman) - This one is OK 08.Blur - There's No Other Way - Very early 90s Madchester stuff.....very OXO Family inspired video. 09.Electronic - Get The Message - Indie number. 10.Soft Cell Featuring Marc Almond - Tainted Love - Needs no introduction. I do like it, even if it is overplayed. 11.Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only - No thanks. The film was good though.....haven't seen that in a loooooooooooong while 12.Roxette - Fading Like A Flower - This is decent - like a lot of their output. 13.Seal - Future Love (EP) - Don't know it 14.T-99 - Anasthasia - Some weird club type track. 18.Frances Nero - Footsteps Following Me - A very decent motown influenced mid-tempo track :) 19.James - Sit Down {1991} - An early 90s classic 21.Dannii Minogue - Success - Horribly outdated now, but this is a great song. 24.The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon {1991} - It's allright. 26.Amy Grant - Baby Baby - I quite like this. Very simple pop song an catchy 27.Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up - :puke2: Thing is, none of them were shaggable! 30.Samantha Janus - A Message To Your Heart - The studio is way better....................live - ewwwwwwwwwwwww 31.T'Pau - Whenever You Need Me - I like this one :) 32.Madonna - Rescue Me - Not one of Madge's best 35.REM - Shiny Happy People - :puke2:

01.Cher - The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss) 02.KLF Featuring The Children Of The Revolution - Last Train To Trancentral 03.Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) 04.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Sailing On The Seven Seas 05.Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long) 06.Beverley Craven - Promise Me 9 Beverley Craven - Promise Me 07.Zucchero Featuring Paul Young - Senza Una Donna (Without A Woman) 08.Blur - There's No Other Way 09.Electronic - Get The Message 10.Soft Cell Featuring Marc Almond - Tainted Love 11.Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only 12.Roxette - Fading Like A Flower 13.Seal - Future Love (EP) 14.T-99 - Anasthasia 15.Vic Reeves And The Roman Numerals - Born Free 16.De La Soul - Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey) 17.Nomad - Just A Groove 18.Frances Nero - Footsteps Following Me 19.James - Sit Down {1991} 20.New Kids On The Block - Call It What You Want 21.Dannii Minogue - Success N 22.Quadrophonia - Quadrophonia 23.Michael Bolton - Love Is A Wonderful Thing 24.The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon {1991} 25.Jason Donovan - RSVP 26.Amy Grant - Baby Baby 27.Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up 28.Roachford - Get Ready 29.Wilson Phillips - You're In Love 30.Samantha Janus - A Message To Your Heart 31.T'Pau - Whenever You Need Me 32.Madonna - Rescue Me 33.Lonnie Gordon - Gonna Catch You 34.Flowered Up - Take It 35.REM - Shiny Happy People 36.Paul Weller Movement - Into Tomorrow 37.The Wonder Stuff - The Size Of A Cow 38.Gary Clail On-U Sound System - Human Nature 39.The Wedding Present - Dalliance -10 The Wedding Present - Dalliance 40.EMF - Children

I just don't see the appeal in him. His lyrics are cringey and his voice is just like any other soul singer. He isn't the music marvel people make him out to be.

That Lady Gaga song is poor. She died for me after "Alejandro" :( Not happy that Bruno Mars is #1 - his feeble songs are for desperate people to try and get laid too.

15 "Save Your Love" (SORRY!) 12 "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" 10 "Town Called Malice" 08 "Land of Make Belive" 06 "Fame" 05 "The Model" 04 "A Little Peace" 03 "Goody Two Shoes" 02 "Eye of The Tiger" 01 "Come On Eileen" -02 "I've Never Been To Me" - The most naueseating piece of $h!t I have heard in my life.

This might be of interest to the thread; Aneka's followup "Little Lady" which is much better than "Japanese Boy" and has a mysterious quality to it. This sadly made nr 50: YkhtbOGDaCk Also "Ooh Shooby Doo Doo Lang" which was not released here, but a small hit in Germany. The quality of this production would make you think this was from 1992 not 1982! ipg2qlr_9Ls

15 - One Day In Your Life 12 - Jealous Guy 10 - Woman 08 - Ghost Town 06 - Making Your Mind Up 05 - Don't You Want Me 04 - Japanese Boy 03 - Tainted Love 02 - It's My Party 01 - Under Pressure -02 - Shaddap Up Your Face - Ultravox were robbed!

The Feeling - "Set My World On Fire" Shame this song with a summery vibe has gone along un-noticed, with people prefering that feeble tosser who is Bruno Mars.

Less than 50K. Honestly, I can see her finishing 7th or 8th in the album charts in the first week as the two weak singles from this album have put people off. The other outcome is a Christina's "Bionic" result......#1 then #20odd the week after.

15 - "Woman in love" 12 - "Crying" 10 - "Call Me" 08 - "Tide Is High" 06 - "Just Like Starting Over" 05 - "The Winner Takes It All" 04 - "Brass In Pocket" 03 - "Xanadu" 02 - "Going Underground" 01 - "Ashes to Ashes" -02 - "There is no-one quite like grandma"

Amen!!! Keep Adele then that would be a perfect chart, and the variety we are crying out for!!!!!

No, No, NO!! Please not David Guetta #1. The man is a one-trick pony ditto with that Bruno Mars. Considering there are some strong releases this week such as Blue, The Feeling which actually have a tune and melody to them and sound individual, people just want to buy the same generic track by number these artists always produce. One positive - Alexandra Stan is moving up the charts :)

I don't think what helps is, there is too many similar sounding artists. There is a lack of variety and it seems radio stations will only pick up on a) those with the big fan base and B) the in thing being hyped.

01.Oasis - Some Might Say - Nah, not keen on this song. 02.Take That - Back For Good - Easily one of their best songs. 03.Boyzone - Key To My Life - Not for me sorry. 04.Bobby Brown - Two Can Play That Game {1995} - Mid 90s floor-filler, still sounds good today even if he is a nasty piece of work. 05.The Outhere Brothers - Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) - HATE this with a passion. Boom, Boom, Boom was worser. 06.Tina Arena - Chains - Powerful ballad, very strong voice this woman had. 07.Paul Weller - The Changingman - The "ModFather" returned with a very decent track 08.MN8 - If You Only Let Me In - JLS of the mid 1990s.....perhaps this is where they get their inspiration from? It was no "I've Got A Little Something For Ya". 09.Bryan Adams - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Drippy ballad from a boring film. 10.Bjork - Army Of Me - I'm a bit indifferent to like this, but the video did freak me out to this as a 10 yr old child! 11.Perez 'Prez' Prado And His Orchestra - Guaglione {1995} - From a Guinness ad. More of a party piece. 12.Weezer - Buddy Holly - Memorable song and video. 13.Brownstone - If You Love Me - I adored this song!!! Soul was at it's peak in the 1990s. Much better than the whores and wannabees we have now. :heart: 14.(MC Sar And) The Real McCoy - Love And Devotion - Eurodance by numbers. Not as good as "Another Night" 15.Let Loose - Best In Me - Boyband ballad. Nothing special. 16.The Wildhearts - I Wanna Go Where The People Go - Very catchy song. Some sort of anthem 17.Love City Groove - Love City Groove - Our ESC entry in 1995. I liked this! Not the best in that pre-selection, but we got a modest result and this is when we sent contemporary songs (e.g. Frances Ruffelle, Gina G, Imaani and Precious) 18.Runrig - An Ubhal As Airde (The Highest Apple) - I don't know this. 19.Corona - Baby Baby - Shame the girl in the video never sang on the songs. Was a huge fan of Corona, and I do love this song. 20.Joshua Kadison - Jessie {1995} - Drippy ballad 21.Grace - Not Over Yet - Another mid 90s club classic. 22.Supercat Featuring Jack Radics - My Girl Josephine - Some sort of reggae track. I remember it being played on "The Box" - back then it was public choice and regionalised. 23.R Kelly - The 4 Play EP - Don't know. 24.Mark'Oh - Tears Don't Lie - A strange track...A Eurodance version of "When A Child Is Born" but it's fairly decent! 25.Strike - U Sure Do {1995} - C L A S S I C :heart: :heart: :wub: 26.Deuce - I Need You - The song that was 3rd to Love City Groove. Very Steps-esque and I think this could have gone top 3 in Dublin that year. This was my choice along with Sam Fox in that pre-selection. 27.Pato Banton With Ranking Roger - Bubbling Hot - Reggae number which was popular. 28.Gems For Jem - Lifting Me Higher - I don't know 29.The Stone Roses - Fools Gold '95 - At the risk of being shot down in flames, I don't like this *hides* 30.Bucketheads - The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind) - 70s influnced dance track. Nothing special. 31.Portishead - Sour Times {1995} - Classic 32.Mark Morrison - Crazy - Obviously not as memorable as "Return of the mack". 33.Adina Howard - Freak Like Me - I love this version, but the Sugababes did put this into another dimension. 34.Snap! Featuring Summer - The First, The Last Eternity - Meh. 35.Scarlet - I Wanna Be Free (To Be With Him) - Weren't these two lesbians? I know their songs were a bit anti-men, but this was a very good rock ballad. 36.Thunder - Castles In The Sand - Don't Know 37.Shabba Ranks - Let's Get It On - SHABBA! Don't know the song. 38.Winx - Don't Laugh - I remember this being about two minutes of laughing to a dance track. Used to scare me. 39.Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On - Don't know it. 40.Terence Trent D'Arby - Holding On To You - Don't know it.
