Again, absolute shite, my point was that you would not be saying the US Chart sucked if your idol was doing well in the charts there.

Celebration went to number 72 in the US. Shows how poor the chart is.

[alc09]

Shows how poor the song is don't you mean?

How well it was premoted. If was released the time it was released over here it would of done better.

Celebration is a good song, One of my faves by Madonna.

[alc09]

Is that not the same song that was deemed too shite for Radio 1 and only played on Radio 2 by any chance?

Radio 1 are not Madonna fans at all. They are the radio equivelent of the Daily Mail.

[alc09]

The music on Radio 1 is normally bang on.

But what I said was the US premotion was poor. The song was worst off there then any other country that the song charted.

You were implying that the US Chart 'sucked' because Celebration only got to 72 or wherever.

That is right but I also said that that was the lowest charting country with that song.

Even without this examples the US chart is still poor.

US chart is much better than the UK.

And Jay Sean isn't even that successful here so I'm glad he's #1 over there

[alc09]

Down hasn't been released over here yet, I expect it will do well in the chart once it is out.

I like the song, good for him with the #1! And you cant say its a poor representation, songs in the US sell millions, with some over 5m!! But here its about 40,000 to get a #1 now or even less. Poker Face got 4.1m digital downloads alone.

For Jay Sean to get a #2, stay there for a few weeks and then knock a massive long reigning #1 champion, he must have sold loads! Its already sold 1.5m copies in the US and made Jay Sean the first UK male Urban artist to go to the top in the US.
It takes alot to acchieve all that when you weren't known in the US!

[Firewire]

I thought this meant Britney!

I was disappointed.

The funny thing is, you guys sound like voyeurs always worriying about whats #1 in the US. LOL, and you keep saying how shiit it is, yet, still so worried about it. got news for you, if you are in the US, they dont care or mention ever, who is #1 in the UK. Maybe you shold do the same, especially if you think its so shiit. One thing is for sure, the artists certainly care.

Its a very good song. But you can be sure, now that its #1 in the US, the minute it is released in the UK, it will be #1, very predictable. A lot of songs (or artists) are ignored here, until people hear that they like it in the US. Its funny like that. Adele is a perfect example of that. Its like the little brother always wanting to copy their older brother. And then they will moan about how much the US suckks.

Yeah, the UK chart, who has people like crazy frogs at #1, and all the shiity xfactor releases over the years at #1. Yeah, thats a great indication of whats really good.
Everyone knows the music chart here, is one of the most laughable in the modern world.
