Cliff Wants Six Bad!

**Milky Tears** · 12th Dec 2006, 5:42 PM

Sir Clifferton was just on The New Paul O'Grady Show performing his smokin' new Christmas single '21st Century Christmas' It's clearly his best Christmas effort since 'We Should Be Together' in 1991.

'Move It' (with Brian May and Brian Bennett) is also on the disc and it p*sses all over the original.

Could it be a Christmas Top Five Smash? It's better than 'Santa's List'.

I might even buy his Two's Company - The Duets album:

1. Move It with Brian May and Brian Bennett
2. Anyone Who Had A Heart with Dionne Warwick
3. Miss You Nights with G4
4. Yesterday Once More with Daniel O' Donnell
5. She Means Nothing To Me with Phil Everly
6. All I Ask Of You with Sarah Brightman
7. Let There Be Love with Matt Monro
8. Throw Down A Line with Hank Marvin
9. Fields Of Gold with Barry Gibb
10. Up Where We Belong with Anne Murray
11. Slow Rivers with Elton John
12. Suddenly with Olivia Newton-John
13. Danny Boy with Helmut Lotti
14. Reunited with Lulu

Watching the interview right now...

and he's still a smug git, though.

Cliff, bless 'im, can piss off. He's one of the few things I truly hate about Christmas.

You may now hate me if you wish.

Well said that man!

Cliff is great, a timeless institution! I may well buy his album, just despite the cynical ("General Grugger's") who slag him off.

Si.

Wayne · 14th Dec 2006, 12:22 PM

More fool you.

(It's just like old times)

**Milky Tears** · 14th Dec 2006, 6:45 PM

Is it true that Sir Cliff is now only 5,000 copies behind Take That?

Edited to add: He's performing on Friday's This Morning as well...

**Simon R** · 16th Dec 2006, 4:36 PM

We tried to buy it in Woolies but alas it's sold out here.

**Milky Tears** · 16th Dec 2006, 10:33 PM

He was even on bloody Strictly Come Dancing. Nice shuffle!

Still won't be enough to topple Take That.

Pip Madeley · 16th Dec 2006, 10:34 PM

Let There Be Love with Matt Monro

No thank you.

**Milky Tears** · 16th Dec 2006, 10:39 PM

Danny Boy with Helmut Lotti

Lotti Helmut would be a cooler name...

**Larry** · 16th Dec 2006, 11:45 PM

never been a fan of Cliff's but even i'll admitt he has made some good stuff but he just got insufferable when he when all ulra religous..

**Si Hunt** · 17th Dec 2006, 11:43 AM

Yes, I wish that guy would stop polluting Christmas with religion.

Si.

Wayne · 17th Dec 2006, 11:53 AM

Especially when it makes him so much money.

**Stephen Morgan** · 17th Dec 2006, 11:55 AM

I've bought his album for my sister, she'll be looking forward to it.
I don't dislike Cliff myself, don't see any harm in him or his Christian beliefs, prefer his pop output though.

Good effort from Sir Clifferton, but not enough to shift The That.

From Music Week:

While album sales forge ahead, singles are off 4% week-on-week at 1,266,194, with no single able to challenge the continuing supremacy of Take Thats Patience.

Changes in the market mean Patience is not one of Take Thats bigger sellers (191,689 sales so far) but their ninth chart-toppers four week run at the summit equals their personal best, set by Pray in 1993 and equalled by Back For Good in 1995.

The weeks highest debut belongs to chart veteran Cliff Richard. 48 years after Move It gave Cliff Richard his first hit, he registers his 121st Top 40 hit with 21st Century Christmas and a new version of Move It, this time featuring Brian May and Brian Bennett. The double A-sided single debuts at number two on sales of 23,787, instantly matching the chart peak of the original Move It. Assuming the new single has peaked - Leona will certainly keep it off the top - it is Cliffs first number two since 1989s The Best Of Me, and the 11th of his career.

'The Best of Me' was robbed. Damn the Donovan!

Pip Madeley · 17th Dec 2006, 9:07 PM

Cliff's not had a number two since 1989?

Must be very painful.

**Si Hunt** · 18th Dec 2006, 9:08 AM

Cliff's 121 hits is an amazing record! Good for him! I tried to buy the single on Saturday but it was sold out everywhere!

They only manufacture enough for the blue rinse brigade.

**Si Hunt** · 18th Dec 2006, 11:54 AM

Check the charts mister, Cliff is #2! So quite a few manufactured I reckon

Si.

**Andy Frankham** · 18th Dec 2006, 12:01 PM

Not got the single as yet, but I bought his new album as soon as it came out. Nothing amazing, but a good 'un nonetheless. He still hasn't topped 'As Real As I Wanna Be'.

That's one for every home for the elderly in Britain that's got it to No.2.
Besides, you only have to sell about 3 copies to get a No.1 these days.

**Si Hunt** · 18th Dec 2006, 12:10 PM

His duets effort may be a guilty post-Christmas purchase for me. I can use up any record tokens I get for Crimbo.

Si.

Except James already said it had to sell 23,787 to get where it did

Blimey, that's a helluva lot of OAP's! I wonder how many of those are senile?

**Milky Tears** · 18th Dec 2006, 1:13 PM

It's still one of the lowest-selling number twos this year. Piss-poor sales last week.
