  1. The Game's album is probably #1, and with the second installment of the record out on the 16th, he might end up being #1 in two consecutive weeks with different albums, that's if The Documentary 2.5 will chart as a different album.
  2. There's no way Justin will beat 1D in the UK. In the US, 1D will probably eclipse him too.
  3. 1 1 40-50k
  4. I love this one too. It's not as good as Body Talk, though it's probably more diverse in terms of musical styles. I like all of the songs here too. What're her earlier albums like, anyone who has heard them?

    Bump. Glorious record. I love all twenty-two tracks here; pop masterpiece which is not overrated at all. I wish the songs she had left out of the final album had been included; there should have been a complete version available.
  6. Poor Avril and ha underrated self-titled record. :lol: I don't really like Don't Be So Hard On Yourself, it's not a patch on Hold My Hand, but I'd be happy for Jess to get another #1 and hopefully this bodes well for her album.
  7. Right. It's a fine song in itself, but probably wouldn't be so high had it not been a single. The A* Ghosttown to win.
  8. I'm surprised that Aston isn't higher following good pre-orders. Take Nathan, for example, who never hit the top ten on iTunes but hit 6 on the first midweek update; Aston doesn't seem to have had the same advantage despite scoring higher pre-orders than Sykes, even if he did manage a 16 spot on Tuesday. I find his position unusual taking this into consideration, as if his pre-orders could be missing (they probably aren't). As for the quality of the songs from both artists, they are good, well composed pop songs, but neither are very commercial, Nathan's track even more so than Aston's.
  9. Anticipating A weak song for me alongside I Love Rock n' Roll which rightfully went first. Other than that great record, very underrated, the first album where Brit began to experiment with different styles and genres of music.
  10. Wtf @ Hollywood having that many votes. It's perfectly made and should be a classic in her discography. Je Ne...
  11. There's no point in releasing this if they aren't going to shoot a stunning, plot driven video for it. It's worth noting that Hold Tight goes for adds on Italian radios today.
  12. Hoorah. Living For Love. Good to see Devil and Ghosttown having no votes; my two favourites so I hope they make the final.
  13. Glad to see Nick in the top ten. One of 2014's strongest albums and would also be one of the best of 15. I don't suppose he'll hold on to that. They should've released it during Jealous's peak.
  14. Living For Love isn't even in my top 15.

    If Ed Sheeran's + remains top ten it will be the first album in history to spend at least one week in the top ten over the course of five years (2011, 12, 13, 14 & 15).
  16. Give Me Just A Little More Time
  17. Addicted Agree with everything Liam said, but for me it should have gone in round three. :lol:
  18. Password The epitomy of a filler.
  19. I just finished my second listen. The only song that really grew on me was Without, mainly because of the chorus and Olly's excellent vocals in it. Ties seems to have a lot of love; again, it's a great chorus and not much else. The first five songs, King, Desire, Gold, Border and I Want To Love are great; the two aforementioned songs are passable; 1977 and Memo are filler; and I hate Eyes Shut and Ready For You. Over half of the record is easily perfect; the problem is that to me there's a large distinction between the songs that are fantastic and the ones that aren't. It's also very monotonous. The standard makes for a better listen than the deluxe. I wish I could be more positive about it because they're crazy talented but they should give their strengths to better songs.
  20. I think the record is very average. My hype for the album was real and Olly is an absolutely outstanding vocalist but all of the atmospheric ballads on the album aren't playing to their strengths. I honestly never want to hear Eyes Shut again and I think they'd be doing an injustice to the album's cycle releasing it. There are many fantastic songs on it but a painful amount of filler too. A generous 6/10 for the deluxe; I'd really like to give it 11/10 but............

    I'd like Commuion to sell a lot but it's not that great so I don't care if it doesn't.
  22. Interesting. They compliment each other perfectly.
