http://othernews.uk.myway.com/article//200...67312965A0.html Downloaded album tracks and "golden oldies" will be eligible for the charts under new rules coming into force next week. Until now, downloads have been included in the Official Singles Chart only if physical copies of the song are available in shops. But from January 1 the rules will be altered so that all download sales can be counted. It means any song available on the internet could become the next number one. Chart experts predict artists whose old songs are featured in adverts or films are likely to find themselves heading back up the charts. The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) decided to change the rules in response to the huge increase in the number of music downloads. Downloads have doubled the size of the UK singles market from 32.3 million in 2004 to 65.1 million in the first 51 weeks of this year. X Factor winner Leona Lewis recently set a record for the fastest-selling UK download after her debut single A Moment Like This shifted 50,000 copies in its first half hour of release. OCC director Steve Redmond said: "January 1 2007 marks a dramatic development in the history of the Official UK Charts. "For the past 54 years, a single was a track selected by a record company to be pressed on plastic and distributed to stores on a particular date. "From now on a single can be any track currently available as a download - even an album track or a golden oldie - as well as the established physical formats of CD, DVD, seven and 12 inch vinyl. "This new ruling changes the nature of a single and puts the consumer in the driving seat. Literally any track can be a hit - as long as it sells enough." _____________________________________________________________ As a JJFP fan i'd love to see I'm looking for the one (To be with me) in the charts. That song really deserves a second chance

What do you hope for music in 2007? I'm not just talking about hip hop here i mean all different kinds of music

No i didn't Thanks for pointing that out

Well if he does tour he better perform Smooth Criminal. I want to see him do 'The lean' right infront of my own eyes

Apparantly Michael Jackson on the 8th of june 2007 starts his world tour at Wembley in London. It will be 58 concerts ( so far ) in 30 countries on 6 continents. I don't know if any of this information is true or not but i'll keep you updated.

Tupac - Changes

: Started to learn to drive : Quit School : Started College : Friends went to University so i don't see them as much now : Celebrated my 18th birthday party : Went to a halloween party : Passed my theory test : Started making my own beats for the first time : Get a car for Christmas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXiDKwgHrZc That's one of the best performances of Billie Jean that i've ever seen

I agree. It's an awesome tune and it desverved to be part of Lost and found and not just a B-side

I'm looking for the one (To be with me) Will's flow is awesome on that one

In the famous words of Will Smith himself ''Awwww hell no!''

If this CD really was released i'd definatly buy a copy would be a good laugh

What do you think are the best quote(s) ever on the show? At the minute my fave is Will: (In chicken suit) Hold up Carlton. A chicken eatin chicken? That's just sick!

What do you think of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA9-AJtUyXU

a-ha - Birthright

Linkin Park - Points of authority

Well Eminem does have skills but at the minute he's just putting those skills to bad use. His word play was awesome back in The Slim Shadey LP days but now he just isnt as good as he used to be. I also wouldn't say that Eminem is the most skillful rapper out cause there are 100's of emcee's who've got more skills than Eminem and Eminem does talk some bull crap in his lyrics like ''Radio won't evan play my jam''. What the hell? The radio plays his music before anyone else and ''They tried to shut me down on MTV''. Again more bull cause Eminem is always on MTV and TRL

LL cool J Nas Biggie 2Pac Run DMC Fort Minor Common Kool Moe Dee Coolio Public enemy

Fresh Prince and LL Cool J I'll post more when i think of others

True that and to be honest the way things are going with Eminem these days i can't see him being around for that much longer either He used to be a lyrical genius (back in the Slim Shadey LP days) and now he's a lyrical mess who's just a slave the biz

Do any of you think that Lost and found could have sold alot better than what it have now if it was given proper promotion and Tell me why was released as a third single and a possible fourth single like Lost and found? I've just always had this gut feeling that if it was promoted properly then it could have easily outsold any 50 Cent album and Will could have won another grammy. It's such a shame cause things started off really well with Switch most people were feelin it and it was a great party track I'm not saying that the amount of copies Lost and Found have sold is bad but i just think that it could have a done a whole lot better

Well Fresh Prince is one of my favorites and i'd proudly put him up there with 2Pac, Biggie, Nas, LL Cool J etc. The world of hip hop owes alot to DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

Yes they are But IMO their music is kinda wack and i just wanna show people that not all Welsh rappers are like them lol

I just wish that the general public would stop focusing on MJ's personal life and just focus on his music. I mean who gives a crap if he has plastic surgery or what colour his skin is, it's all about the music

He didn't end his days. The media ended his days
