I am pretty damned sure it's gonna be The Darkness - even the title has me in hysterics.

Definately The Darkness "Don't let the Bells end" isn't even on the album so the people who bought the album like me will go out and buy this, a certain number 1!
It's a great B side track too! Friday night is a great song. |

Haha, it shoud be on the album if they are gonna release it, strange. Why dont they make it a double A-Side with Friday Night, so make a video for both songs. That would make a bit more sense.

I think they'll probably make it a double A side - especially as Friday Night is undoubtably the most radio-friendly track on the album.
I would LOVE for them to have the Christmas number one....but i won't hold my breath. The Pop Idol winner will be a heavy, HEAVY hitter come Xmas. |

It would be a real shame if the Pop Idol winner won! Girls Aloud had it last year, it's unfair on the music business if they win - takes the competitve side out!

Well they got to number 2 with their last single "I believe in a thing called love" It was on all the time on the music channels. But don't worry about it mate.

Seriously though, if there is one thing that is boring its dance music, for me, I want interesting lyrics also, which is why I like rock and urban music. Teeny bopper crap, cheesy aint it? Almost as cheesy as those terrible dance songs with the most laughably basic childish lyrics ever, being sung by singers who couldnt make it singing proper stuff. |

No one asked you two above to like dance, I was just saying that it's my bag thats all. If I want to commit suicde through listening to depressing music with someone droaning on. Rock music will be my first stop!

I shall give the Darkness a whirl. As I really liked that Everscence track. But I doubt I could listen to a whole album of their warbling.
Dance music is upbeat and fun. The lyrics will never win the nobel prize for lit. But who cares when you are off your face? |
