The All-New Chart Updates Thread

[Simon R]

I think it says a lot that I've only heard five of the top 20 singles.

I don't think it says very much at all. I don't get what you mean Pip. I've heard 13 of the top 20 singles and that comes from listening to an hour of radio most day and the odd new performance on TOTP2. Pretty normal for me.

[Pip Madeley]

Well that was sort of my point - we have the radio on at work most of the time, and I still don't recognise many of the songs in this week's chart...

[Si Hunt]

I wish someone would post the new chart every week like they used to. My work has blocked all music related sites, so I can't see what the new chart is like and I always forget by the evening!

[Si Hunt]

Thanks Pip. Is "Shine" out on physicals yet. If it is, that's got to be considered a bit of a floppity-flip-flop.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Downloads alone - the single's out next week.

[Si Hunt]

I wish they'd show you on listings next to each entry if it was available on physicals or not, since the physical release usually provokes a relatively huge upsurge in sales. So you need this information to know if a single has reached its likely peak or not.

Si.

[Si Hunt]

Hurrah! Thanks Matt! Can we trouble you for this every week?!

Presumably Mika's "Lollipop" is just a random album track people have bought on download a sufficient number of times for it to chart...

Makes you wonder if in the future, record companies will pick future physical singles based on which songs are downloaded most when the album comes out...?

Si.

[Matthew T]

I can certainly post this every week - as you probably guessed, it's mostly a cut 'n' paste job anyway.

Mika is an album track - "Lollipop" seems an obvious choice for a future single, it's an extremely instant, radio friendly song.

Interesting to see a few songs falling before their physical release - Sophie, Kelis and Beyonce - a sign that record companies are waiting too long to release them?

[Milky Tears]

Must be one of the worst album top tens ever! Borah Jones, Should Fall Out A Window Boy, **** *******, Rim Bloc Party and bloody James Morrison!

[Matthew T]

Kaiser Chiefs on course for their first number one this Sunday, Sophie Ellis-Bextor looks set to miss the top 10, and Kelis looks like she'll make it.

[Matthew T]

01 - 01 - Mika - Grace Kelly
## - 02 - Akon feat. Snoop Dogg - I Wanna Love You
03 - 03 - Just Jack - Stars In Their Eyes

23 - 29 - P Diddy feat. Christina Aguilera - Tell Me
08 - 30 - Long Blondes Giddy Stratospheres

So downloads have saved the UK from the horror that is CHIPZ!

Apparantly Emma Bunton sold just 801 physical copies last week - enough to put her at #25 in this chart, which just shows how badly CD single sales have declined in the past 2 years.

Awful number one!

[Milky Tears]

Will Take That's 'Sh*te' actually be getting a physical release sometime before the end of the decade?

I take it it's out tomorrow and that's why they were plugging it on DOI last night? It might be their first single I don't buy!

Nice to see SEB's desperate appearances on WWIBF? and Richard & Judy helped her climb the chart. Her kid (Sonny) looks like Lauren Harries! Always knew there was a touch of ginge about her. I've seen those upskirt shots!

[Simon R]

Take That's "Shine" doesn't sound anything like ELO or the Scissor Sisters.

Much.

[Rob McCow]

Take That's "Shine" doesn't sound anything like ELO or the Scissor Sisters.

Perhaps that's why we like it!

The atrocious Kaiser Chiefs write their worst song ever and it gets to no.1. My brother will be pleased, he used to be mates with them.

[Pip Madeley]

The Kaiser Chiefs at number one?



Bloody argh.

[Matthew T]

I love "Shine"! It's possibly my favourite Take That song yet, after "Never Forget" and "It Only Takes A Minute" anyway.

[Si Hunt]

It's good, but it's a paper-thin delight. After a few listens I'm sick of it and it's the only one I skip on the album. It's also shamelessly derivitive - I've never really sat and listened to "Mr Blue Sky" before, but I did on Saturday (when it was on TOTP) and TT have taken it to the cleaners!

Si.

[Rob McCow]

The video is a dirty, rum, Pet Shop Boys/Kylie inspired delight, set on the side of a CGI building with mad, whirling grand pianos and hundreds of dancing girls in silver starship trooper outfits. There's even some break dancing from one member of the group!

(I'm talking about Take That, by the way, not the Kaiser Chiefs.)

PS - that pic of Flanders is a bit on the large size, Pip.

[Pip Madeley]

It's within the limits of the code of conduct (it's actually smaller in file size than your avatar), so I don't see a problem...

[Si Hunt]

Nnnggggh.

Si.
