As of late i feel that there should of been a huge chart battle between britney and gaga, although they have both made the top ten they are nothing compared to previous material.

Same with avril, i think it was a really good song, but flopped

I thought Hold It Against Me by Britney would be HUGE but was unfortuneately let down by the rush release, no video for a month and laziness on Britney's part!

I do think however that this straight-to-radio-release thing is going to hinder many songs that could be huge if released when a full week's sales can count towards it's chart position AND IF THE VIDEO IS READY AT THE TIME OF THE RADIO PREMIERE!!

But i think it can help, as i admitt i do sometimesnot pay for songs as they take the mick to release it, they should have the video ready to, for maximum play. Need to pull their fingers out really and i think it could be a success

Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me, definitely!

Leona Lewis - I Got You also, got to #14 with no promo which isn't bad but always thought it should have done better, such a pretty song.

Hurts - 'Stay'. Almost the perfect pop song IMO.

'Mirrors' by Natalia Kills. If someone bigger had put this out, I'm certain it would have been a smash hit!! Why is nobody paying attention to this girl?! I can't see any music channel picking up 'Wonderland' after seeing the video.

Mini Viva as well. 'I Wish' and 'One Touch' were amazing.

Robyn's newest stuff was fantastic and only one single went top 10 and the album reached what, 160something??

Sophie EB's last two singles as well. I'm just grateful the album will see the light of day after all.

I'd like to mention Kanye West's latest stuff as well. Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I think, is his best work to date and I know it did well in the US but not so well over here. 'Power' is one of my favourite songs from him.

You Lost Me - Christina Aguilera
Work - The Saturdays (I think this was due to the fact that it was the last single. I feel it should have been their debut over If This Is Love)
Boyfriend - Best Coast

I agree, even though Sophia wasn't a big chart hit, she won an award for that track!
