World wide fiasco

While surfing charts of different countries around the world this week I came across a very fascinating, as for me at least, fact. So I decided to share this funny story with you.
Let us see, who are the winners of sales and air-play charts in some accidentally chosen states.
The most air-played song in Brazil this week is "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston.
The winner in Argentina is Juanes with his last single "Me Enamora"
Plain White T's with "Hey There Delilah" tops Germany chart.
One Republic with Timbaland tu-whit tu-whooting the single "Apologise" with a 5th to the first move atop the chart of New Zealand.
Timbaland with "The Way I Are" overtaking Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" leads in the Australian chart.
"Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown is the winner in the U.S.
Sugababes with "About You Now" are again peaking the U.K chart.
Finally, Santana featuring Chad Kroeger with "Into The Night" peak at the World adult chart.
And here comes the B'side of this week.
A great event was held in Munich yesterday night. Very expensive and therefore drag. An hour of walking around and having some interviews with the music stars like "Hi! Do you like Germany?", "Oh, yes. I always wanted to visit Germany, exactly Munich." It is so believable to hear.
And two more hours of sharing out the MTV Europe Music Awards.
What do we see in the list of winners? Some mistakes, as usual.
Rock out. Evanescence, 30 Seconds to Mars, Fall Out Boy and others nominated. 30 Seconds to Mars wins. Despite the fact that Evanescence was doubtless the most rotated rock-group this year in Europe. "Lithium" by Evanescence peaked in seven European Union countries, and only one single by 30 Seconds to Mars was released in Europe in 2007. Therefore I actually don't believe this result is fair.
Ultimate Urban goes to Rihanna. No objections here, her "Umbrella" really went from each flatiron.
Band. Linkin Park. Fine, if this is the choice of Europe, I'd like voluntarily to deport from this continent. And one more idea on this - why are all the 5 nominees the rock bands? And how much of it we watch on MTV?
Most Addictive Track. Avril Lavigne and her "Girlfriend". It is because she is the best :) Furtados "All Good Things" is also the same level. No idea, what is Amy with her "Rehab" doing in the list of the nominees.
Solo. Avril Lavigne, as I already has mentioned, just because she is the best.
Now back to the basics. We started with a brief summary of the winners of the charts this week. As you see no one of them coincide the winner of MTV running award.
This is a reason, why shows like this are loosing the popularity. People are not complete fools, they see when someone out of the top 10 gets the award, then someone from television supposes audience to be stupid. And someone like Snoop jocking as only he can see where is the fun are not able to compensate this failure.
See you later.

Worth listening October'2007

Kind regards on November 1. As yesterday it was the last day of October, when most people round the world celebrated Halloween, it is time to sup up the musical results of the previous month. And so I suggest drawing your attention on these ones.
1. Mika - Happy Ending
This is the last track from Mikas debut album "Life in cartoon motion" and the first song by Mika I recommend someone to listen ever. Song itself is so so, but the ending of it is grand! This is why as for me Happy Ending is the best song of October. The title of the song reminds me a song by Nelly Furtado, which was once extremely popular in Latvia - All Good Things (Come To An End). Funny, but it was also the last track in the album so the idea of its title was also a play on words.
2. Zemfira - Sunday
The second single form the just released album by legendary Russian singer Zemfira is much more energetic than the first one "We are broken", which is telling about love of between two people. Actually, the main idea of this concet appears in the video for this song, where some security man kills Zemfiras girlfriend. Zemfira advises not to go in cycle on this and listen to the "Sunday"
3. Natalie Imbruglia - Torn
While listening to the selection of the best hits "Glorious: The Singles 1997-2007" by Natalie Imbruglia with the new single "Glorious" included, I suddenly released, that nothing on this disc is better than the classics by Imburglia "Torn", so the third place of October is her. Frankly speaking, Natalie seems to copy her own "Torn" in her 2007 only new song, and she herself seems like if she stepped from the ancient 1998.
4. Dakota - Matches
A song with no video yet, but what a song. Dakota is a competitor of the Russian analogue of the "American Idol". Well, a young girl trying to perform as a drama queen, who used to love for hundred years, but then she was left alone.. When something like this dies away from a 20 year old (young) girl, it is a little bit funny.
5. Valeriya - Break It All
See the previous blog, which was mostly devoted to discuss Valeriya and her newest single.
6. Swollen Members feat. Nelly Furtado - Breathe
Admiring Furtado so much I can even accept those very unstylish members around her.
7. Nelly Fortado - Do It
Since the release of her previous album "Loose" on June 9, 2006, 17 months has passed, so because of deadlock fans of Furtado could try this.
8. BandEros - About a beautiful life
It is a parody on the real video by Russian r'n'b pioneers. Song is a bit silly, band is repeating "what a beautiful life" in English all the time and the name of their band, some kind of self promotion or something.
9. Santana feat. Chad Kroeger - Into The Night
No doubts - one of the best vocal part of Chad Kroeger, soloist of the Nickelback, since "How You Remind Me", the best song by Nickelback ever.
10. Potap feat. Nastya Kamnskih - Not pair
Well, just watch the video.
And again no one could smash Avril.
See you tomorrow.
