And, er, answers on a postcard?

Jesus wept. Mind you, the current second best selling song on iTunes is the Brits show collaboration between Florence Welsh and Dizzie Rascal. I kind of like them individually but the song they did together was the worst cover since Roseanne Barr's version of 'Star Spangled Banner'. I mean really genuinely awful. Yet a lot of people are giving it a 5 star rating. One person suggests it would have been better if Cheryl Tweedy had been on it too! I think I would pierce my eardrums with a screwdriver should I even once hear such a thing.

Sorry, but that's Gaga territory and means I can never like her music no matter how good it is

It is not surprising that the most purchased tracks are recent hits. This is the iPod generation buying tracks.

+1 and looking at what the girls listen to...

I can't understand how such a sad song, like Poker Face, can do so well - well, over here a majority don't understand the lyrics, so they just buy it on the tune, although that isn't much of an excuse.
