Also Shayne Ward


I kind of pity him. He makes his comeback with a brand new manwhore image and some half-decent pop tracks and a lot of hope but ends up losing miserably. He charted at #2.

What's so bad about getting a #2 single?

By now you would have found out that the Sugababes defeated him. "How?! The physical copies of their single aren't even out in shops yet!" you say. Well, by downloads only. This means, if Amelle had called for About You Now to be a sad download-only release, it would still have beaten Shayne and grabbed the #1 spot like it is doing now.

About You Now has just been released today, by the way.

Has any other famous girl group tried a download-only release before? Yes, All Saints did that with Chick Fit. It charted at #187 or something similar if not worse.

Of course Amelle's win makes me very happy. First girl group to score a #1 solely on downloads, second ever british act to achieve this feat, overall the 4th time this phenomenon had ever happened.

Besides, About You Now is the best pop song of the year so far. If you haven't listened to it yet, I suggest you do. Also watch the video.

But what happens to Shayne now? Oh well, who really cares anyway.
