Songs that will never "die" in terms of charts/airplay
Having heard that "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol reached 200K plays on the radio and is a regular returnee to the chart......what other songs will never fade and die? "I gotta feeling" by Black Eyed Peas seems to be another one, three years on and still around like a bad smell. Any more examples and why do you think this is? Personally, I think it's because the radio playlists are managed by faceless suits who have deals with record companies hence repeat offenders.

Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" played 200,000 times on radio
Liked it at first....hated it.....liked it....hate it and ironically as I type it's being played on the radio :arrr: The thing is, as we know radio station playlists are dictated by faceless men in suits who are obviously recession proof and get paid a fortune. This is the same faceless suits who moved all the local football commentary to DAB and MW leaving the three Birmingham clubs to carve out who is on what therefore those fans like myself who can't afford to go the game lose out as I live in an area with a poor MW signal. However....my local station does play their version of "Run"......waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Leona's disney ballad version.

Forgotten top ten hits
Jason Donovan - "Hang On To Your Love" top 10 in 1990: HRhT6aHqeg8 The second most famous mime act after Milli Vanilli...Black Box with "Fantasy" in the same year....made #6 1FziicPt9cs&ob=av2e When you think of Whigfield....you think "Saturday Night" and a one hit wonder.....she had other singles....this beauty made #7 in 1995 "Think of you" - the lyric was being changed from "need you inside me" to "beside me" - don't know why......I only found out this in 2006! Easily her best track imo BtwSxi9BGIU Follow-up to "Saturday Night"...."Another Day" but think "Saturday Night" with different lyrics and a change of tempo.....good but "Think of You" was better. Lost in the Christmas chart run-in....but made top 10: vDlw_p6g3uk Even Madge is no stranger to this......"You'll See" from late 1995. This song is sooooooooo gorgeous and emotional. I love the lyrics to this song. It wasn't even included on her Celebration Best of! :( zyFzpBAZICc&ob=av2e I know this is cheating a bit...."Take a Bow" was her first single to miss the top 10 in the UK yet one of her best selling in the US! Like "You'll See" - underrated, emotional and gorgeous. She looks stunning in this video: XDeiovnCv1o

Glad she didn't win X-Factor...thing is how long does it take to write an original song?

I think we have a very gullible public. After all, this is the country who elected David Cameron in.

I heard that EVERYWHERE when I was in Spain!

Should music videos be age rated?
Nope. Remember, Cameron is trying EVERYTHING to build up his -50 approval rating. This won't happen anyway.

The Most Unlucky Song In UK Chart History
Moves Like Jagger and Love The Way You Lie....the latter was the best selling single of the year so all wasn't bad! Another unlucky one at the lower end......Hot Pantz "I want to give you one for Christmas" - mid 60s in 2004.....about #215 on 2005!

I agree about the woman singing Beyonce. No disrepect, but anyone can sing that song. It's so false and emotionless....like all of her songs.

"Cry" is a great little ballad, and should have been a #1...."Come On Over" is a bit meh......though her final single "Sentimental" was worse....that was like a rejected national final song for Malta! I don't know if this has been posted but "Impossible" by Shontelle made top 10 in September 2010....gorgeous ballad: NWdrO4BoCu8&ob=av2e This effort from Kings of Leon has been ignored due to the obvious two repeat returners to the chart - "Radioactive": wPBbMbKSZrQ&ob=av2n Another forgotten Westlife song - "Safe": eNUTlexj7cU&ob=av2e "Hold my Hand" by Michael Jackson ft Akon has been lost and forgotten too: -oCCnxBos10&ob=av2e

Britain's Got Talent 2012
Honestly....it's too predictable. It'll be a dance or singing act that will win.....Cowell will NOT go for a unqiue act like this talented girl from the Ukranian edition: 8yYcEX5O5a4

The Voice UK
What I don't like about this show is, the fact people who have had a career before are trying. Surely a country of 65m would have some outstanding newbies? I think with the ex-pop stars - because the UK doesn't have open pre-selections for Eurovision (not as if we chose right anyway), this is their way to get noticed again. I liked the rock guy, but this being the UK it's all safey-safey ballad type....if this was US or any other Euro nation he'd have made it and gone far.

Survey - at what age(s) were you most into chart music?
For me it all began when I was 8 which was 1992/3 - I fell out of love with it briefly between 2007-8 just liking a few artists then 2009-11 a reignited passion. I have now fallen out of the charts as there is now as there is too many similar songs...it seems the clubbers dictate the chart. Hmmm....."Star Trekkin'" by The Firm *hides* I was 2 when it was released.

I don't do clubbing....yet again, some of the radio stations in the Midlands are a bit trite... Shayne was poorly managed by Cowell sadly....if you've got a pair of boobs or a bunch of pretty boys like 1D - he will manage you though thank god for Alexandra breaking away.

Artist Bashing Thread Part III
Justin Beiber should be banned - can't we have some law that forbids his music to be played? As for LMFAO - It's music for drunken slappers at night clubs/parties......they're nothing but an American Jedward.

"Tiny Dancer" what a joke.....saying that, anyone remember this from late 2007: "Heartbroken" T2 ft Jodie Aisha....I was sick of hearing this on the bus journey to and from work - I think now it's forgotten all bar a few nostalgics: UTVeuMJd83o&ob=av3n To me after Alexandra Burke...the best winner of X Factor Shayne Ward has been forgotten....I doubt anyone knows these from 2007: "No You Hang Up" 6fI_SyKGef4&ob=av2n "Breathless" - yes the lyrics are cheesy to this, but I do like it. aDHqPdybUOA
