What?
I saw that song mentioned on breakfast TV yesterday saying it could be Christmas number one and I laughed - but it's actually got a chance of being number one? How? I blame Terry Wogan.

Soulja Boy makes an impressive 10-3 climb. Wait, what's that Danny? You're impressed by Soulja Boy? Seems like it won't be long till we see it jumping 10-3 on your personal chart! What's up with Michael Buble "Home" charting?

WTF @ Katie Melua/Eva Cassidy...a song i've never heard up to #1?
Well, Westlife covered it...maybe it made people want to hear the original to cleanse their ears. Although that was released awhile ago, so somebody probably just performed it on X-Factor or something.
I really think Sugababes' "Change" is going to flop...

I come bearing answers! Wait, what's that Danny? You're impressed by Soulja Boy? Seems like it won't be long till we see it jumping 10-3 on your personal chart! ? The Travis Barker remix is growing on me, I'll admit. What's up with Michael Buble "Home" charting? Michael Buble was on X-Factor on Saturday night. WTF @ Katie Melua/Eva Cassidy...a song i've never heard up to #1? It's only avaliable from Tesco(supermarket) - the CD is priced 1.99 and all proceeds go to charity. So far it's sold 10K which is narrowly more than Leona (8.2K) and here are the ones outside the Top 40: Top 50John & Yoko Amy Winehouse ( ) Top 60Bing Crosby David Guetta Top 70Perry Como Jack Penate Boney M Paul McCartney Elton John Top 75Booty Luv Jona Lewie

That sucks for Winehouse. Everyone already has it on the album though.

True, but the "Love Is A Losing Game" single does have some fantastic remixes on it. Soulja Boy has cranked up 6.3K sales so far, if anyone cares.

It seems British clubs are way more US-rap friendly than British radio (at least from my own experience there lol)

It seems British clubs are way more US-rap friendly than British radio (at least from my own experience there lol) At Timepiece in Exeter they've been playing it for ages. People will dance to anything once inebriated enough though! Come to think of it they play mostly US urban music there- though I do think British radio is actually more US-rap friendly than you think, it just doesn't dominate the airwaves here and we have a little more variety to break things up. Hearing Timbaland after Girls Aloud followed by Arctic Monkeys would probably make most American's head explode.

I've been listening to a bit more Radio 1 lately and just today heard Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, and Soulja Boy. Granted Lupe isn't exactly a commercial smash here in the states and Soulja Boy could be doing it off novelty factor. I have to admit that hearing it in the context of that playlist is less annoying, maybe because there aren't a bunch of songs that sound similar surrounding it and I don't have to worry about hearing it again in the next hour. I just look at it kind of like hearing Crazy Frog mixed in there...nobody thinks of him as a serious artist.
BTW, Jack Penate prefers the original version of Crank That over the Travis Barker remix because the former is more "real".

I'm not like pissed about it or anything, i just wondered where that song came from, because usually when Katie Melua has something new out you make a thread about it

I just look at it kind of like hearing Crazy Frog mixed in there...nobody thinks of him as a serious artist. Yeah... Soulja Boy isn't exactly real rap. It's basically this decade's "Macarena." It'd be fun to hear a song like "Duffle Bag Boy" or "Make Me Better" on Radio 1 or even something like "Roc Boys." As far as the eclectic mix, Radio 1 reminds me of US pop radio in the 90's. It mixes a lot genres but pop and rock are the main genres. Now Pop radio in the US mixes in a lot genres, but it's mainly urban and beat-driven pop with some rock mixed in. And our rock is never indie- it's always corporate. The other big difference I notice is that older songs are plated more in the UK. You won't ever hear an 80's song on a US pop radio station.

Whoa at James Blunt moving 16-->49 in airplay with "Same Mistake."
Also, it looks like the Monkeys released the "Teddy Picker" single too early; it has a new airplay peak this week.
Again, I'm impressed that Mika and Amy are still getting so much love from radio with their 5th/6th singles.

LOL @ Kelly Rowland. She owes the world to Freemasons. She might as well record her next album with them and becomes a UK superstar.

Album sales reach new 2007 high
From Music Week:
Monday December 17, 2007
The good news is that album sales last week increased for the eighth time in a row, and reached a new 2007 high for the fifth week on the bounce.
The bad news is that, at 6,347,634, sales were over a million down on the same week last year (7,362,658), and even further below record week 50 sales of 7,665,901 set in 2005. They were last lower in the corresponding week in 1998, when 5,372,061 albums were sold.
The week’s biggest seller, Spirit by Leona Lewis, sold 228,504 copies – the second best tally it has recorded since release five weeks ago. It’s also the second biggest weekly sale of the year, just beating the Arctic Monkeys’ Favourite Worst Nightmare’s opening week’s sales of 227,922. Topping the compilation chart for the fourth week in a row, Now That’s What I Call Music! 68 sold 182,185 copies.
Spirit becomes the fifth fastest million seller in the UK, and the fastest by a woman, trailing only Be Here Now by Oasis, which raced to the target in just 11 days.
Lewis’ album was the second to sell a million copies in 2007, following Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black, which has sold 1,431,970 copies this year in its original single CD edition, and a further 120,323 copies in its deluxe 2CD edition. With first album Frank returning year-to-date sales of 304,147, it’s safe to say Amy Winehouse will sell more than 2m. albums in 2007.
Mika’s debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion, was released 40 weeks before Leona Lewis’ Spirit but sold its millionth copy a day later. Life In Cartoon Motion debuted at number one in February.
Two other albums sold more than 100,000 copies last week – Westlife’s Back Home found 118,311 buyers and Michael Buble’s Call Me Irresponsible raced to 107,676 sales. In the same week last year, seven albums recorded six figure sales, while 11 albums made the grade in 2005.
While Leona Lewis continues atop the album chart, her Bleeding Love finally loosens its grip on the singles chart title after seven weeks, slipping 1-2 with sales down just 6.3% at 27,744.
Instead, Eva Cassidy and Katie Melua’s What A Wonderful World takes pole position on first week sales of 56,114.
What A Wonderful World is a charity single benefiting The British Red Cross, and is the first ever number one to be available via only one retailer – specifically the Tesco supermarket chain, which has exclusive rights to both the physical and download version of the song.
Cassidy is the 13th artist to achieve a posthumous number one, thanks to the newly-created duet version of What A Wonderful World, on which she is paired with Katie Melua. Originally a number one hit for Louis Armstrong in 1968, it is the 33rd song to top the chart in more than one version.
Driven by downloads of seasonal titles, singles sales also pepped up last week, improving 7.1% to 1,776,484. That’s their third highest figure for 2007.
This is the first Christmas in which singles available only as downloads have been eligible to chart, and it has had a massive effect on seasonal titles, with 10 in the Top 40, 17 in the Top 75 and 44 in the Top 200 – all record tallies. Top of the list is Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You, which jumps 8-4 this week, with sales up a further 46.4% at 19,453. Meanwhile, entering the Top 40 for the very first time, Driving Home For Christmas gives Chris Rea his 13th Top 40 hit.
