Anything by Britney this year!

Makes me so angry why her music has not been embraced by the UK with this album.

Its most frustrating when you know as a fan that its her best work.

Oh well, at least they still love her in her home country...

I agree with all of them and I also think Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory should have been No 1.

Me too. Especially Till the World Ends. I think that song is brilliant. I wish it got a bit more popular. In the US it spent 9 weeks in the top 10, peaked at #3, and is in the 20 best-selling songs of the year.

If anybody is interested, here's the 10 best-selling songs in the UK so far this year which didn't get to #1:

1. Adele - Rolling in the Deep - 718,200 - peaked at #2
2. Rihanna - S&M - 642,200 - peaked at #3
3. Lady Gaga - Born This Way - 568,600 - peaked at #3
4. Chris Brown - Beautiful People - 533,400 - peaked at #4
5. Snoop Dogg - Sweat - 522,500 - peaked at #4
6. Aloe Blacc - I Need a Dollar - 528,200 - peaked at #2
7. Ed Sheeran - The A Team - 511,000 - peaked at #3
8. Jessie J - Do It Like a Dude - 556,900 - peaked at #2
9. Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat - 461,900 - peaked at #3
10. Chris Brown - Yeah 3x - 457,500 - peaked at #6

I personally think 'Till The World Ends' by Britney Spears underperformed and should have been a much bigger commercial success here in the UK.... definitely derserved the number one position.

Lady Gaga's 'The Edge of Glory' immediately springs to mind, without doubt my favourite single from 'Born This Way'.

Anything by Gaga and Chris Brown, they've both had a fantastic year but no number ones I don't think?

Am I the only one who doesn't like Leona's new single? I like Leona, but it's so bland and unoriginal...

I'm not sure. It could be big if it was. I saw it at #1 on US iTunes a month or two ago.
