me too, i think it's cos of the introduction of downloads in the charts.

ANYWAY. my point wasn't about charts. it's about onemangang being a dick and saying 'who are this shit band' a page back so i wanted to say that about his favourite band.

People don't buy physically singles, first of all you'd be lucky to even find them, but the download industry has helped keep the singles market relevant and hugely popular.

You and I may not care, but this forum isn't really representative of chart music for the most part.

Nope. downloading as an album on Itunes doesnt add anything to single sales, If you was to buy each single song separate though it would count towards single sales. Its because the album price is cheaper that buying each individual song.

I imagine single sales are through the roof now, loads of people I know just buy single songs off itunes now

Someone just posted a tweet then saying the poster was leaked, for a short time on Vodafone and claims the headliners are Daft Punk, Green Day and Muse, been retweeted by a half decent bigger source too..

I like Daft Punk, but please, let this be false.

Whats this person on about, they contradict themsleves over and over again, saying 'Reading Festival is the death of music' However 'It sells out before they annoucing anything. 'And Its the death of music' but Reading and Leeds offer 7 stages and many bands who play the fest get there first real big break because of being able to play infront of so many people.

'Welcome to the death of music. Reading Festival is thy name'. Bo***cks, if any festival is killing music made a Man and his guitar is V festival... Who promote the chemercialised crap that is spoon fed to everyone when the really person who writes the song and plays the instrument gets paid tuppence whilst the semi good looking front person gets paid millions and cannot even sing!

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
