She's also the first individual to be credited on as many as 3 UK Million Selling Singles. (The Beatles are credited, as a Group, on their 5).
Rihanna is also the first Female to be on 3 Million Sellers, & to be credited on more than 2. Olivia Newton-John is credited on 2 with John Travolta, (1978), & Celine Dion is credited on 2 in the 1990's - Think Twice, (1994), & My Heart Will Go On. (1998).

Here is British Diver Tom Daley, & the rest of the GB Diving Team doing a miming & dancing video of 'I'm Sexy And I Know It', the 2011 Global Hit, by LMFAO. It is the first time that I've actually liked the Single - as this Video makes it far more fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bws52wtv6Ts

The Christmas No.1 will be the one that is there in Christmas Day's Chart. The Chart of Sunday 25th December. (That is Official, & not just my opinion).
Little Mix will not be able to remain at No.1 for 2 Weeks. Their cover of Cannonball is truly garbage. It is laughable that they even bothered to cover it. They have ruined it. They really have.
Anyhow, whatever those who disagree with me think, it will not be No.1 in the Chart of Sunday 25th. Military Wives will almost certainly stroll to No.1 in that Chart. I'm not saying that their Single is much better, but, at least that amateur Choir can Sing.

Amazon.uk are selling the Deluxe Edition of The Ultimate Collection for just £8.99.
They are selling the ordinary - 1 Disk version - for £8.93.
This means that you can get the 2 Disk version for just 6p more - 20 Videos added.
Amazon & HMV say that the DVD Disk has 19 Videos on it. They both miss out Words Are Not Enough. It is on the DVD. It is not on the CD, however. It is replaced by their 2011 recording of Dancing Queen, on the CD. (Dancing Queen is not on the DVD).

Whether or not it has new Tracks added, it looks like there will definitely be a Remix Album of Born This Way - due in November. (With the Track List - as yet - unconfirmed).
It will be called Born This Way : The Remix. (It will contain 14 Tracks). (Remixed by several DJ's, & Producers).
That CD will be a release on its own. It will also be added to Born This Way - The Collection. That Set will also contain the Born This Way CD, & The Monster Ball Tour DVD.
The Collection, & The Remix are both out on November 21st.

It WILL be shown by STV, (Scottish TV). They are showing it from 8.30pm to 10pm on Monday December 20th
It was very, very hard for me to get into 'The Day Before You Came', in 1982. As with all ABBA's Singles, I bought it, but I did not understand why they were suddenly being so bleak, & gloomy. However, as the Decades have gone by I have appreciated the Song more and more.
It tends to be the favourite ABBA Single of many people who hated ABBA. The Critics love it too - 'NME' said it should have been a No.1 Hit.
Many people in the Music Industry also love it.
As do many ABBA Fans. Hence why it was No.3 in the Top 25.
If Universal wanted to, they could Re-Issue it, & get it into the UK Top 10 - to be the Hit it should have been in 1982. It has only sold about 400,000, (UK), on 'More Gold', so there are many people left to buy it. (After all - over 4,820,000 copies of 'Gold' have been sold in the UK).
I noticed that parts of 'Eagle' were played in the TV Show, as well as the Instrumental 'Bridge', from 'When All Is Said & Done', being played at the start & end of every Advert break. (And how powerful it sounded! It was a huge mistake not to make it a 1982 Single, in the UK, Ireland, & Continental Europe).

'Parallel Lines' is widely regarded as Blondie's best Album, & one of the greatest Pop Albums ever. The UK's 'Mail On Sunday' is giving that CD away - Free Gift - in every copy of tomorrow's, (December 5th), Issue! It will acually be inside - rather than a Token that you have to take to a Store. The 'Paper sells about 2,200,000 each Sunday, so that is how many copies of the Blondie Album are being given away. To me, it cheapens the Music. Turns it into a sort of, 'Free can of peas with every copy'. LINK:, smurl.name/4fv7

'Welcome To The Pleasure Dome' had about 1,150,000 UK Advance Orders, in 1984. It over-took 'Super Trouper', by ABBA, which had been the 1st UK Album to have 1 Million Orders, in November 1980.
The FGTH Album sold about 240,000 to 250,000 in Week 1.

IF - this 'campaign' succeeds, it will be 100% pointless.
DJ's etc. will not play the 'silent track' on the Radio. Nor will it even be played if it were at No.1.
Instead, the Christmas Chart will stop when the No.2 Hit is played. The No.1 will be mentioned - but, then 100% ignored.
So, it may as well not be No.1 at all.
If an 'X Factor' Track is at No.2 - then that will be the final Hit played in the Christmas Chart - which means it is being treated as if it were at No.1.
So, the entire idea of a 'silent track' at No.1 is 100% stupid, pointless, & only a reflection on how dumb the people are who thought of the idea. And I say that as someone who hates 'X Factor. But, I hate this idea even more.

Well - 'Safe' is very unlike anything they've done before. I'd never have guessed it was by them.
It sounds more like a Heavy Rock Song, than the usual Westlife Singles.
Thumbs up to the 'Boys' for going in such a different direction.
I'd say it will be a Top 5 Hit. But - sadly - not the Hit it deserves to be.

Those who are knocking it as 'weak' or 'disappointing', should go to YouTube & listen to 'Safe', by Westlife - their New Single.
It is not fit to be the 'B' Side of 'The Flood'. The Title of 'Safe', tells you everything you need to know about it.
'The Flood' will be No.1 - it is touch & go if 'Safe' will get there.

It does not matter if Robbie has, (or seems to have), the most vocals on 'The Flood'. It will be a No.1.
He's much bigger in Europe than Take That. It will help it be a bigger European Hit.

It sounds like the best Take That Single since 'Back For Good', to me.
It will - easily - be their 12th UK No.1.

From the 'Bizarre' Page, in today's UK Newspaper, 'The Sun':, (See the Comments beneath his Article). smurl.name/9hv6 IS MADONNA A MA-GONER? By Gordon Smart COULD this be the beginning of the end of MADONNA's reign as the Queen Of Pop? The powers that be at Radio 1 have snubbed Madge by failing to playlist her new single Celebration. The track, which sees the pop-skeleton collaborate with dance legend PAUL OAKENFOLD, has not made the A, B or C list for the UK's most popular and influential station. And after some digging through chart history, that's the first time one of her singles has not made the playlist. Madonna can console herself in the knowledge that at least Radio 2 have found a place for the song and have been playing it for the past two weeks. This has been coming for a while. Her Madgesty's last album, Hard Candy, didn't do as well as expected. Probably because it was rubbish. I'm also sick of the sight of her parading around in her undercrackers. On September 29 Madge will release her latest Greatest Hits compilation, also called Celebration. I think I'll celebrate when she finally puts her feet up and calls it a day.

The UK's biggest Selling Daily 'Paper, 'The Sun' has now actually connected Michael Jackson's Death with an ABBA Reunion. 'The Sun' tells a LOT of lies, & exaggerates a great deal. Here is the Article. Notice that it thinks ABBA Won the ESC in 1973! They can't even get that right - after all these Years! Look at the Readers Comments, under the Article, too:, smurl.name/q84k
