TOPIC: Interesting Record of the Year this year

Interesting Record of the Year this year 13 Years, 11 Months ago  
My personal choice is Bruno's brilliant Lazy Song (for the whistle hook and the superb uninterested girl saying "it was great") - 10th biggest seller of the year - but his Grenade is 4th biggest of the year with 800,000 against 550,000.

Adele is of course the Queen of the Year - her Someone is 1st with over a million singles and Rolling In The Deep is 7th.

My second choice is also second biggest - Jessie J with Price Tag.

And Ed Sheeran's A Team is going up nicely - 470,000 and building.

What a great terrestrial TV show for someone to snap up in December.

If X Factor concludes on weekend of 10th/11th December, as has been widely reported, then it leaves ITV a free spot on Saturday 17th December. A great night for a prime slot reviewing the best Records of the Year, and a vehicle to sell bucket loads of albums in that crucial final week before Christmas. Possibly even releasing a related album into the market to co-inside.

Completely agree Dixie and for that reason, when ITV decided to cancel the show, I approached the BPI and asked them to help find an alternate broadcaster. Zero. Nothing. Silence. I would have thought such an obvious boost to retail, labels, radio, promoters - was a certain asset. John Kennedy said the Boyzone album sold a million more albums after they won than it would have done - that was ten million pounds extra profit for PolyGram in one week - but imagine the extra sales in shops with customers coming in to buy No Matter What or Flying Without Wings for Granny and grabbing a few of their own favourites at the same time.
And for ITV? 9.7 million viewers.
BPI? Wankers.
