Just given the album a whirl and it really is all about Motion Sickness. That intro alone :wub:

So there's only one good song on it?

Oh I MIS-READ entirely, they don't give a runner up spot prize do they?

 

In 2007 it was 50:50 with the judges between Klaxons and Amy Winehouse apparently. How wrong they were.

You're right in that they don't announce a runner up position but it usually leaks which the second favourite was.

Natasha has been second favourite twice, as far as I know.

I just don't get American comedy that bases itself on awkward situations. I want wit.

I found it irritating.

Sorry Tony, Speech Debelle will be releasing another pun-based titled album in 2013 so that's never gonna happen.

For the runner up spot?

Yeay!!!!

So looking forward to this.

KYLIE MINOGUE- SLOW- NON NUMBER ONE

 

 

NEW PEAK POSITION: 2

 

I refuse to believe that No-one saw Kylie's relegation coming. "Slow" was very fortunate to make No 1 at all, it sold a mere 43k, the lowest total since that August, and falling 1-4-12 and selling just 75k in those 3 weeks is not the stuff that even 2003 chart toppers were made of.

I didn't see it coming because I had forgotten it existed.

I guess I'm probably saying that the Killers are predictable but does anyone else already have themselves convinced they know exactly how the rest of the song used in the trailer is going to go?

The last album was about 5 great songs and a hand full of poor ones.

I think dubstep suits them but it needs to be the f***ed up type that Skrillex had on First of the Year.

We Are Young is terrible. I do not see the appeal. )~:

I agree,

Nelly Furtado or Kylie to win! Although, it's unlikely Kylie will. Really hope 'Say It Right' can beat 'Mr. Brightside' which seems like the obvious winner.

Agreed. Mr Brightside is very good and I can see why people enjoy it Say It Right is just one of the greatest songs of the 00s.

46 - R.E.M. "Imitation of Life" (2001) (+67)

Trailer for the new album

Sounds like Skrillex

I think Buzzjack should do a Best Number 1 of all time rate

early prediction:

1. Bad Romance

2. Hung Up

It's a relief to see I'm not the only one who thinks Baby Cakes is a classic. :lol:

I like it. :lol:

I love they way the pronounce the K in "somethink you own"

I'm surprised Confide In Me has proven so popular - personally I found it long & tedious, with a very cheap looking video.

The video was poor, I thought. Amazing song.
