Rih is about to snatch PSY's wig
ADELE might snatch both soon tho kiii
We will see if it lasts. Many artists have tried to pass Psy, even those that succeeded fell fast enough. Though its about time Gangnam started to lose steam.

One Direction did a concert for the Today Show this morning. According to a couple sources I have found (including the show itself)it was the biggest crowd for a Today Show concert ever. Your fav's tried though.

I knooooow
And yes, Adele may get them both soon. Skyfall (movie) has helped skyfall (song) out immensely. And then of course, she is Adele. She could sell her orgasm sounds on iTunes and go #1.
Edit
She did it!!!!!

Diamonds isn't my favorite Rihanna song by any means but I have been impressed by its success. Coming back to #1 even after its big release week sales is surprising. Rihanna's staying power blows my mind.
ignore edits to this post...going to be testing out some graphics

I don't see Taylor Swift.

You'll see her when Lotus falls down from it's first day sales bump and Red surpasses it.

My Queen! Slaying the scene, and these bitches will just have to deal. Has she been doing any promo outside of twitter? I've been watching her SNL performances on a loop. #FOREVERSLAYED

SNL was promo.. thats how she climbed to #1
It ain't as terrible as I thought. Might be usable with the beat. Why do these high caliber artists keep collabing with Shitbull tho? Shakira, Xtina, ugh.

REVIEW: Take Me Home
After 8 months of releasing Up All Night, One Direction is back with their sophomore album in hope of keeping the momentum they have and expanding from their UK beginnings. So here goes:
- Live While We're Young The first single and track of the album is another one of those songs about partying all night and being young. When I first heard this song it reminded me of an immature version of We Are Young by .fun with a theme that has been done to death at this point. But of course as this album goes you tend to discover that every song has an infectious upbeat sound, LWWY is no exception no matter how unoriginal it is. Lets go crazy, crazy, crazy will get in your head right after you hear the first chorus and it opens up the album quiet well demonstrating the feel it holds. 4/5
- Kiss You Kiss You continues where LWWY left off with another catchy jam. It is obvious why this song is set to become a single since it is one of the catchiest songs on the album. If you didn't pay attention to the lyrics thought you would think its just another clean safe song about love but its not. Yes this song provides the answer to what Take Me Home means and that is take me home to sex it up. The slight sexual innuendo on this album tries to hide itself under the radio friendly sound but it shows that 1D can continue to get more risque with an adult theme while still making it feel clean. 4/5
- Little Things On the surface this song is not bad, it is 1D's only ballad on Take Me Home that gives them a new sound to explore. Little Things is an acoustic song with just guitars playing in the background and it sounds heavenly just hearing the boys' voices on a slow jam. This song had so much potential and though the chorus works perfectly it is the rest of the song that ruins it with its lyrics. You never want To know how much you weigh You still have to squeeze into your jeans... yeah no. The lyrics are basic pandering for the insecure girls and reminds you that you are not the target demo for 1D and makes you wonder if the rest of the album is going to be like this. 3/5
- C'mon C'mon WaiT this is a bop. The producers obviously wanted to wash away the feel of Little Things for those who are not a mess and dive back to the infectious beat and hooks. My only problem with this song is that it feels way to short and I can't help but hit the replay button several times. It is that good. 5/5
- Last First Kiss Going back to the love theme, Last First Kiss is a slower jam and as that song title suggest it is about wanting to be a girl's last first kiss. I wouldn't consider this song filler because it still a well produced song and I never tend to skip it but it is not one of the album's highlights though it tries. 3/5
- Heart Attack More upbeat than Last First Kiss, Heart Attack is a playful track of being jealous and getting over someone. The highlight of the song is obviously who I believe to be Niall saying 'Ow' throughout the chorus (I still have trouble distinguishing these boys' voices from one another). This was the first song I couldn't get into during my first listen but as most of their songs they tend to grow more and more on you. 3.5/5
- Rock Me If you want to know why this song is the best song on the album then look no further than the producer. Dr. Luke gives 1D their Take Me Home anthem with everything you expect from this boyband, cheesy lyrics, a love theme, and a catchy hook. The placing of the song works well as it gives you a break from the pop sound the album was carrying and it gives the album more momentum half way through. 5/5
- Change My Mind Going back to slowville, Change My Mind delivers a smooth almost ballad type of track. There isn't much to say about it, though its not bad its not amazing either, its just there. Still not skip worthy since the chorus is catchy and a very sing-a-long type of deal 3.5/5
- I Would Cause I can't compete with your boyfriend, he has 27 tattoos. From the cheesy lyrics to the formulaic chorus found throughout the whole album, I Would delivers another uptempo track that joins the ranks with the best songs on this album. It is not single worthy though because it does deliver the same type of sound that is only contrasted due to its lyrics. I Would still holds your attention and gives the album more life at this point. 4/5
- Over Again Another slow jam but I found myself surprisingly liking this one. I also have to say that the pacing of the album is great with including slow song in between the loud tracks such as I Would before heading back to uptempo. But wait you might say didn't you criticize RED for doing this, well yes but it helps when the slow songs are good to make the pacing work which is non-existent on RED and this late on Take Me Home the momentum hasn't stopped (though the album has peaked with Rock Me). 4/5
- Back For You The chorus is generic as you can get but it is the verse and pre-chorus that helps this song move along, especially when it gets to So tell me nothings going to change yeah you get an upbeat feel that is only slowed down by the chorus. Still the song is a jam. 3.5/5
- They Don't Know About Us Well at this point in the album I guess it was time to remind us that the love 1D sings about is the one found with the tweens. Too young to know about forever, this song is about a young couple that the world is against. Though the song might not appeal to you it does take you back if you ever experience that naive love. The song is still good and gives way to the end of the album 3.5/5
- Summer Love A nice closing to the album with 1D reminding you that you where theirs for the whole album and now its time to say goodbye. But unlike a summer fling you can always hit replay. 4/5
Take Me Home is a cute, bubblegum pop album that might cater to the teenagers girls but with its infectious hooks and well produced tracks it is listenable by everyone. You are not going to find any revolutionary sound or deep meaning within its lyrics, thats not what its trying to be. It is a mainstream pop album with potential hit singles that surprisingly delivers with almost every track. Though some lyrics might take you away from the album and it does feel like an extension of Up All Night, the pacing is great and the songs are catchy enough to stand on their own with almost no filler. Take Me Home won't change One Direction's sound but it gives them more momentum heading into 2013 and their future album. In the end it is a solid pop album, generic as it might be. 7.5/10

YAS.
I do think you were a tad bit generous with your scores but hey.....similar overall score to what I have. I think Little Things is MUCH worse than a 3/5. Also didn't like C'mon C'mon or Rock me quite as much as you did, but I didn't dislike either of them. By contrast my favorite tracks were Over Again, and Nobody Compares (from the bonus tracks).
Will post my review later.

I meant like extensive promo, like performing everywhere, being on everyone's tv show.that kinda thing.
Gaga puts all that time and effort in and still manages to make crap. Believe me when I say, I have no illusions that Rihanna is the greatest artist of all time. For what she does and how she portrays herself, comes off as genuine to me.
Lady Gaga on the other hand seems forced and contrived. I don't buy into her shtick, but if you do, more power to you. Gaga might be talented, but that hasn't translated itself into the music. She looks a damn fool, she apparently acts in interviews and the music just plain sucks to me. If her artifice works for you. So be it. But do not deign to tell me who I should like or dislike.
I like Rhianna for very solid reasons, and my dislike for Lady Gaga has equally valid reasons.
Thank you and goodnight.

Last night I had a dream that Gwen Stefani, knife in hand, was chasing me through a New Orleans cemetery while yodeling "Wind It Up" at me.
Truly nightmarish.

Poor Crumpet. Lol.
I didn't review the bonus tracks cause that might lead to filler territory tho I haven't heard them.
Yass, and from what I heard I know EXACTLY which album to review to pop my platinum cherry Hehe
One more star and you will go platinum!

Lol yeah. I wouldn't have but my favorite track on the Album is a bonus track.....and there are only 4. You should post review in the 1D thread imho.
Will give your review an hour or two to marinate before posting mine.

Burning Desire is amazing. Paradise = best of the year.
No. But it's still great.
No it's equal. Considering the amount of tracks. I don't consider them separate really. These songs make BTD complete to me. She did that so well. None of it seems out of place

Paradise is exactly equal in quality to Born To Die. Even my favourite albums have at least 1 song that's lesser, but both of these are 100% perfect.
E 
Eh, if we're rating them as albums then Born To Die slightly edges out Paradise for me by being just as thematically and tonally cohesive, but incorporating a much broader range of production. In that respect, there's a tinge if "same-y" to Paradise. IMO, the Paradise tracks could have really benefitted from an "Off to the Races" or "Diet Mountain Dew" type of song to shake things up. I guess she tries that with Cola, but it doesn't go far enough for me.
Burning Desire is nice. But I'm not here for iTunes exclusive tracks.

It really is. I listened to it while walking to the bus this morning and all the songs just flow together so well.

Born to die has great flow imo.
I am not a huge fan of listening to her music in large chunks (let alone a whole album) but I can appreciate what was accomplished.
Not sure if I will buy PE.....I already have BTD but I only have a handful of tracks on my playlist right now.

That if you combined the Single + Album versions of Little Things from 1D they would be #1.
