i wouldnt call it a flop.

It is sad that Leona is number one, because we all know that it isnt because of her talents but for all the buzz and media interest generated.
I will definetely NOT get any of these albums/sinlges
AM guessing you're a Kylie loon?
why wont you be buying Leona's single or albums? Spent all the allowance the Care In The Community home gives you on multiple copies of 2 Hearts?
-
BRAVE listeners.
-
I agree with all of that.
Leona would not have stayed number one on hype alone. It's because it's actually a great song recorded by a great singer.
Sure, she's been hyped, but who isn't these days? Hype is what gets almost all songs into the charts. Quality is what keeps them there.
Hype got Kylie up the charts. Quality is what will see that song plumet dopwn the charts faster than her weight during chemotherapy.
I think Alicia will remain in the charts for a while, much like Apologise or Valerie. For an artist who's not used to UK success, she's done brilliantly based, again, on a quality song.
-
very disappointed with the leona album. thought there would be more uptempo tracks on it - its too bland and too long.
-
it was essentially a reworking of the Smurf Song with a great base line underneath it.
Genius! Fucking genius.
-
How would explain the success of Kylie's CGYOOMH, Queenie?
Great song or fluke? COuld anyone have hit number one with it? How much of its success was down to the video?
-
the spicies do stand a good chance of eventually reaching number one thanks to children in need.
-
That's what I said in another thread. The other songs in the top 5 all have cross appeal; that Timaland song is shaping up to be my favourite of the year.
Kylie's sales are PITIFUL when you consider it's in three physical formats plus a download.
the timbaland song has been on repeat on my ipod ever since I first heard the album. One of the best of the year.
when it comes down to basics, the Kylie song just isn;t that good and only appeals to her fan base. Casual buyers just dont like it. Its a bad choice for a comeback single. or should that be a 'brave' choice for a comeback single?
-
how could the spice girls album ever sell that many copies though ? They only made three albums - the last one only had one double a side single - so creating a greatest hits out of that was never going to be easy.
-
Timbaland and Ronson songs have legs don't they?
-
Johnnox, you have got it SPECTACULARLY wrong on this occasion. You almost sound like Karbatal.
If by that you mean I am not afraid to offer an opinion on something despite having others disagree with them, then I am proud to sound like Karbatal.
-
Dont be so NIAIVE, old man.
Without Hung Up, the casual fun would not have paid half as much attention to that album as they did with it's inclusion.
Hardcore fans bought American Life. The rest ignored it. Everyone bought Confessions of the back of an awesome single.
FOOL.
-
agreed. without CGYOOMH, Fever would have sold adequate amounts but nowhere near the amount it did.
There again, I feel the same about Confessions...without Hung Up, I think it would have done a little better than American Life, but much not much better.
-
they also employ Neil Sean as their showbiz pundit. Nuff said.
-
Oh Karby. Whatever are we to do with you? You seem to be making less and less sense every day!
That's what happens when you mix poppers with a cat 'o' nine tails.
-
agreed - which is why I believe the album will be a top three for sure.
-
I think she will make top three, and I wouldnt rule out a number one.
-
Do you know what it's up against that week?
-
I think the Kylie album will do well following the promotion of it on her TV show at the weekend.
There again, it might not. Body Language wasn't helped by the hour long ITV special a few years back.
-
same here, it's the first song she's recorded since her debut single that I've ever paid any attention to.
-
i adore the alicia single.
-
The Timbaland siong is so much better than valerie, which I aslo like.
But Apologize is in a different league.
-
I think they havent done enough promotion for it early enough. The song I think is great - but it should be in the nation;s psyche by now. Instead, they've left promotion to the three weeks before release.
they should have released something with Justin first - just to capitalise on his name.

so if critics say she's rubbish, then she's rubbish, no matter how many records someone sells?
Glad we've got that one sorted out then.
How old are you Frax, if you don't mind me asking?
