This guy posts a pretty comprehensive release schedule on several forums:

Thanks Matt. I'll take a look at his and update ours with the bits we are interested in. The PS one is mainly intended to focus only on stuff that anyone who posts here is into, not as a comprehensive release schedule.

[Matthew T]

Yeah I thought as much, he includes everything including shit that won't even make the top 200, but I thought you might find it useful.

[Si Hunt]

Very useful - thanks! I wouldn't have thought about people like Cascada but it's good to check out these things in case they are worth getting!

Is Beyonce's "Broken Hearted Girl" really getting a UK single release here in November?? I adore that song! But I thought the single had been cancelled.

New Whitney single "Million Dollar Bill" is somewhat better than that last dirge she's been hauling round the promotion circuit lately. Video is quite good too.

Dancey Whitney is back!

I bet "3" is about threesomes.

What else could it be?

[SiHart]

The single is all over for me it seems. There's not a single release there I'm excited about. Oh well, maybe it's just me.

Alicia Keys - Doesn't Mean Anything

Not to me, she doesn't...

[Si Hunt]

Have you heard the song? I found it this morning and it's reasonably amazing. You can't tell if you like the songs until you've heard them surely - I found them by Youtubing them and hunting for the good ones.

Just because the songs I've posted don't appeal doesn't mean there arn't good tracks out there for you, Si - the ones I've listed are the ones I liked from those I heard were coming out and guessed might appeal to me. You might want to pick some completely different ones you've heard about and check them out, and add them if you like.

Si.

[SiHart]

You may be right Si, but without wanting to start a lengthy debate on the relative merits of musical taste and stuff, I suppose I ought to have said none of those artists really interest me all that much rather than the singles themselves.I suppose potentially I might like some of the singles I suppose if I heard them, but I'm not going to make the effort to search them out right now. I don't do that anyway- if I hear and like it then fine, and if I'm missing out on something then, well, to put it mildly I don't really care all that much. Perhaps I'm just too old to care about it all any more and I like what I like and I don't really feel like investigating it all.

I hear lots of music that i really like and I'll make sure I add that in, in case anyone is interested in that. But I can't pretend I'm interested in the same music as you are.

I amended my post as I had trouble expressing myself.

What I meant to say was, I only posted the songs I liked and, as you say, no reason you should like those ones. It was intended so that those interested can add the songs they have found/are interested in too. So it's just my choices, and no reason why the 'single' should be over for you just because you don't like the same old stuff I do.

Rolf & Quo = Christmas No. 1?

Musician Rolf Harris has announced he is teaming up with Status Quo singer and guitarist Rick Parfitt to release a Christmas single this year. It is 40 years since Harris topped the Christmas charts with the hit song Two Little Boys, which remained in the top slot for six weeks. The new single, Christmas In The Sun, is scheduled for release on 7 December. It will go up against the X Factor song, which has been the Christmas number one for the last four years. Harris's track has been taken from compilation album It's Christmas Time, which is released later this month, and features seasonal recordings by Slade, Girls Aloud, Lady GaGa and Bing Crosby. The single was inspired by the Harris's memories of growing up in Western Australia in the 1930s, where the Christmas Day ritual was eating roast turkey in the blazing heat.

The 79-year-old said Status Quo had created a great piece of music to accompany his lyrics. "They came up with musical surprises and guitar rhythms that sent shivers up and down my spine. "These guys have given me everything I wanted - a positive, hard-driving sound, lively and bouncing with good times, laughter and tons of fun." Parfitt added: "Forget Rock 'n' Roll, this is Rick 'n' Rolf. This is a great track that we will be playing for years to come."

I bet it flops.

And quite rightly so.
