Neil

She really sounds like she's emulating Sia in the chorus. Great song though. When's it out in UK?

I was a TWAT and left my wallet at home. Eugh. I have access to another presale tomorrow so will have to try then (Manchester tickets all sold out on todays presale).

Erm, I now LOVE IT! :)

The connection is Michelle Branch's latest projects also keep on getting delayed/postponed/cancelled/amazing single which flops/ etc... In fact, Meech's music career seems to be so far gone she's resorted to this! http://www.cooktasteeat.com/about

Holy cow :w00t:

SHOCKED at a Taylor Swift song on the verge of top 20. Has she officially broken the UK market now? Even though WANEGBT has done really well I was still expecting the album to be a bit of a non-event here in the UK. Hopefully it'll be a smash :D

It's exactly what I expected yet not what I expected. I like it, I don't love it. I think it'll be a grower.

£45 - £52

I love how the 2 of them are perfectly in sync with one another in that first pic.

Yeah I'm quite disappointed with the UK selection... I was hoping for extra dates but then noticed she's dotting around in Europe in between these dates so highly unlikely. I have faith she'll come back and do extras later in the year, or perhaps extend it to stadiums like she did last time. Going to go to the Manchester date, already booked hotel :D Getting the tickets on Wednesday through O2 Priority - Seated for sure. I love her but not enough to stand around in a queue for hours to get a good spot!

This is released tomorrow in US, right? So excited :D

Sounds good, can't wait to hear the full thing tomorrow :)

Ooo what a *~controversial~* cover. "Diamonds", the first single from Rihanna's upcoming seventh studio album, makes its global premiere on Wednesday, September 26th with an 8:00AM ET launch at radio stations worldwide. "Diamonds" will be available at iTunes Music stores worldwide an hour later at 9:00 AM ET. You ready for this, Navy? http://bit.ly/rihanna7

Apparently it's going on iTunes worldwide at 9:00 ET (14:00 GMT).

I wonder why they're not doing arenas?

Sunday 14 April – Manchester Arena Sunday 21 April – LG Arena, Birmingham Wednesday 24 April – The O2, London Thursday 25 April – The O2, London General sale Friday 28th @ 9AM.

I guess you're right, was going to use the Iris example. Although, surely a good performance would have a better effect though?

Yes but they butchered it, so I'm surprised it's been boosted that much lol.

Should be in the bag, the previous week is dead as well, Ellie Goulding being the biggest release I reckon.

Xtina back on track :) Taylor should end this week at #2. Could be close between her and Maroon 5 for the next #1 but I think Maroon 5 will get it.

NOOOOO :(

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maq0o8dOe51r3ty02o1_r1_500.gif She really needs a better make up artist. I'm finding Britney so hit and miss. Sometimes she's really into it and others she looks bored as f***. She doesn't really say much either compared to the other 3. Demi really is my favourite judge by a clear mile. I thought she'd be useless because of her age but she's so charismatic. I love it. And lol @ that lightning strike reaction. But more importantly, that whole episode was SO badly edited. With all the fake 'lights going off while someone's on stage' bits it was so off putting, and the fake thunder noises added... So tacky.

I quite like it, it has some absolutely hilarious moments. I'm not getting too invested in it though as the ratings are dire and will surely get cancelled.
