If it means less play for that awful Status Quo song then I'll buy it. How much are 45's nowadays?

 

 

Don't know.

I'm 46. 

Yesterday's Grauniad G2 section had an interview with her.

For some unknown reason she was in a picture with Judge Roban

Can you even buy '45s now?'  I did hear earlier this year that 90% of the 'single sales' from 2010 were mp3s.  It's not the same as the 'old days' when singles used to sell millions of hard copies and you could get picture discs and 12" and so on. 

 

The charts are basically shite these days too, and so many people go straight in at No 1, that there's nothing special or exciting about the charts anymore.  And you no longer get special and definitive albums anymore like Dark Side of the moon, Bat out of hell, Thriller, Rumours, Parallel Lines, and all the Beatles ones that sold multiple millions.

 

I remember at school, we used to sit there with a radio on a lunchtime on Tuesdays, desperate to know what number one was!  I am so glad to be from the generation I am from.  There seems to be nothing magical about the charts/music anymore.  Even my daughters think that the 1980s and 70s were better than the noughties.

I think music has less of a market share. It has to compete with football, social networking, computer games, pointless surgery, and cosmetics.

Thats true Joe. 

Also it may be that the new Lady GaGa gramophone record means just as much to today's youngsters as, DSOTM, Who's next, Sheik Yerbouti, and Tubular Bells meant to us. It certainly received rave reviews.

Debbie Harry is on loose women on Friday..
