JLS have gained their 4th UK number 1 and scored Children In Need their first 1 number charity single in a while! Good job. I previously posted Ellie Goulding's new song here today so I'm so pleased to see it chart so high. A new entry from Far East Movement and Westlife. Black Eyed peas have also entered the top 10 with their new single 'The Time'!

Obviously over in the albums chart, Take That are at the top after selling an amazing 520,000 copies in one week. Crazy! 

Take That's Album Breaks Big Records

Take That's new album Progress has become the fastest selling album OF THE CENTURY! 

Ohmy.. The Official Charts Company announced the group's 6th album sold 235,000 copies in a single day! This is the biggest album since Oasis' 1997 album sold over 350,000. 

Take That, who were recently rejoined by former member Robbie Williams broke another record when their tickets for the latest tour went on sale. They sold over 1 million tickets in a single day. The band, which also consists of Gary Barlow, Mark Owens, Jason Orange and Howard Donald performed on The X Factor at the weekend. Check out their performance!

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Six: The Results

So it's time for the results! First of all. I have to say. Why do the finalists mine during their group performances? They look so stupid. Especially Paije.


Anyway, JLS sang good, and then Westlife sang crap and then Take That sang amazing!


Back to results. In the bottom two were:

Katie Waissel

Aiden Grimshaw

I'm totally shocked Aiden is in the bottom two! How did Paije and Wagner get through? Christ.


Simon sent home Aiden.
Cheryl sent home Aiden.
Dannii sent home Katie.
Louis sent home Katie.


DEADLOCK.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. How could this have happened. Aiden has been eliminated over Katie? This is so wrong. 


What do you think about tonight's controversial elimination? (yet another one!)

Top of The Pops

14/10/10 - 21/11/10




1.(1)Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)
2.(-)Take That - The Flood
3.(4)Katy Perry - Firework
4.(-)McFly - Party Girl
5.(3)Alexis Jordan - Happiness
6.(7)Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me
7.(2)Cheryl Cole - Promise This
8.(6)Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
9.(19)Adele - Make You Feel My Love
10.(5)Cee Lo Green - F**k You


Rihanna was denied Take That their much anticipated number 1! I'm really surprised actually. It's a great song so I though it would have went top. Maybe the public actually want that chart battle with JLS and Westlife next week. McFly have landed at 4 with their come-back song 'Party Girl'. I really love it and it's done pretty well. 


Another re-entry for Adele with 'Make You Feel My Love'. I don't even remember her releasing this the first time round!


Over in the album's chart, Britain's Got Talent Winner finalist Susan Boyle has stormed the chart with her second album. 

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Six

As this goes on, I get less and less excited. Nothing good or out of the ordinary happens. Nothing is spontaneous. It's all rehearsed and planned and well fake? I think I may just be getting bored of it, yet I still watch it without fail! Weird.

Moving on, it was Elton John week... Fantastic... Let's just look at the performances.

Best:

Matt is amazing! FACT. 







Rebecca is also amazing. FACT. 




One Direction are also very very good! 


Let's see who was bad!





Jog on, Paije. You are exactly like Treyc. Your there but nobody remembers you or even likes you that much, and look what happened to her last week. Do one!







I haven't minded Katie for this whole competition, but she's been in the bottom 2, 3 times and this was pretty bad I thought. Maybe it's time to go?







There are no words. 




So what did you think of X Factor's Elton John week? 


Make sure you watch the results show at 7:45pm with performances from Take That, JLS and Westlife!

Take That are quite popular

Tickets for the recently announced Take That tour went on sale on Friday morning. Obviously there was plenty of demand for tickets. So much so ticketmaster crashed as did the phone lines. 

The group managed to sell over 1 million tickets in 1 day! There was 3 times more demand that when Michael Jackson's This Is It! tickets went on sale. The band who have been rejoined by former member Robbie Williams, added several extra dates to keep up with the demand for tickets. It took some people more than 5 hours to get their tickets to the show. 

For that effort it better be one hell of a show! Did you have any bother getting tickets? Tell us your stories.

Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow have Shame

So Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow's long awaited duet has had it's first play in recent days and the video was released also. I saw it 3 times in an hour on the music channels today. It's a very good song.

I was never a fan of Take That when they were together originally. I was too young to be. I did like Robbie Williams solo stuff, but I had no idea who the other guys were. When they reformed, I did not like. Then they recorded 'Rule the World' for one of my favourite films, Stardust and I loved them! Downloaded both albums they had released since getting back together and really enjoyed them. On hearing that Robbie was getting back with the crew, I was pleased. It'll be great to see. This song is like an intro if you will to what's coming up from their new album which I am very excited for. 


What are your thoughts on the song and Take That?
