westlife LAWD i forgot all about them.so horrible but i could never turn away lol

where is Robbie Williams these days?

Christopher said:

Fat and not selling very many records anywhere.

Where does this come from by the way?

Ellie said:

Someone at ukmix.org went through the whole decade of charts awarding a number of points for every position. Something like 75 points for number one, 74 for number two, etc.

I see the brits have lost their minds as well over the course of the 00s...

Good grief...

Samantha Mumba has had a more successful 00's than Morrissey!


No offence to Ms Mumba - lovely girl that I am sure she is - but given that Morrissey has released more material in this time, that makes it even worse.

This points system seems a bit skewered, especially if it only goes by chart positions.

To be fair it's an accomplishment to place at all for a 70s artist, This is based on the charts for last decade only.
