lemme guess... the interview was about leaving Dr Who and what she's doing now?

I think so. I think she mentioned her book

[Sidders]

I'm actually ashamed to say that I bought the single first time round. I used to have a HUGE crush on Billie.

I think someone else is having a go at some chart rigging. Not sure who, but I went on http://www.hmvdigital.com and on the top 10 chart on the right hand side it reads:

Top 10 Downloads
1. Grace Kelly - Mika
2. What I Go To School For - Busted
3. Patience - Take That
4. White Diamond - Kylie Minogue
5. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Why are people downloading Busted?!

[Adam]

That Mika guy will do well.

[Yudster]

I've tried hard not to, but I find I like Mika.........

[foot-loose]

I am a fan of this as well!

[Yudster]

I kicked against it for a while, because it seemed to just be another Scott Mills Hobby, but I've heard a few songs of his now and they're ok!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I imagine him to have greasy hair and be a slimeball.

I have no basis to make this judgement other than one annoying song.

[Fred Mercury]

Mika? He believes he is the reincarnation of someone else... can't think who. Not a clue. Hmm.

£20 says Mika has a bushy mustache by the summer.

[DemonHorse]

I preferred Mika when he drove for McLaren and gave Schumacher a run for his money.

you listen to radio 4!

nope, just my psychotic powers in play...

[~bex~]

Just had a quick look on the itunes chart, and honey to the bee has climbed to 15!

[Loudmouthed_Cutie]

damn i was about to post that

[Quincy]

i prefer luca badoer

[Lucie]

Just had a quick look on the itunes chart, and honey to the bee has climbed to 15!

it's a disgrace

[DcS]

Omg seriously ??

[adc_20]

Make that 12th

[Ballbag]

That may be so, but that is just the I-tune chart......... one of many charts that count towards only the "download" sales on singles (leaving the rest as CD/vinyl/cassette sales).......... I don't think that's enough to get it into the top 40 personally.

[Boboff]

It was intimated that in the mid week chart it's at number 41

[David]

500 sales off being in the top 20 on Sunday. Number 8 in the ITunes chart.

[Ballbag]

I wonder what percentage Moyles is taking in all of this? I mean he is a friend of Billie's afterall. Whereas the other members of the team all chose oldish 80's songs that they don't really have any connection with, our shrewd business savvy DJ friend opted for a song by one of his friends........ I presume for a cut of the takings.

*Bfb ducks all blows*

[foot-loose]

Cynical sod!

[Ballbag]

Now that ammounts to personal abuse foot-loose, I was merely putting my views across, and I don't see what's so cynical about it?

I've said it time and time again on here, fair do's to him. He's using his position in the media to full effect, and I personally would do exactly the same.

He's not stupid you know.

[Boboff]

Yeah but Footloose has one of those fancy signatures, and you don't, but you are sexy though, but footloose has a dog in his picture, and you only have a kitten, which would get eaten by his dog, and he would therefore win that argument

[Ballbag]

Two cats Boboff.... but one's a complete wimp.... so yes fair do's I would lose that argument.

[foot-loose]

Now that amounts to personal abuse foot-loose, I was merely putting my views across, and I don't see what's so cynical about it?

No abuse was meant. Apologies if offense was taken.

I'll rephrase:

"That comment sounds a bit cynical Bfb."

I've said it time and time again on here, fair do's to him. He's using his position in the media to full effect, and I personally would do exactly the same.

He's not stupid you know.

Your right, I do think he uses his position in the media as best he can and I completly agree with him doing so - I would do the same. I was pretty impressed by how much he makes from the jingles and it was well done keeping that quiet for as long as he did!

In this instance, however, I don't think that he will gain a lot from it. I'm not sure how much the artist ends up getting from the record sales, but do you think its going to be a significant amount? Even if it is, I can't see how he would stand to benifit from it. I doubt he is allowed to make a deal with a record company which would mean he could heavily plug a record and then make money that way?

I also doubt Moyles would take a cut of the sales from Billie.

With regards to the rest of the teams choices, I don't think they put in as much thought as Chris did. Like it or not, I have found myself singing the song several hours after I last heard the show.*

you only have a kitten, which would get eaten by his dog, and he would therefore win that argument

Unfortunatly my dog is in her 80's, in a wheelchair and smokes like a chimney. As much as I love her to bits, she would be easily eaten by a kitten. (plus kittens have incredibly sharp claws!)


*This in no way retracts from my support for Kenny Loggins - Footloose, which is a spectacular song!
