How the X Factor affects UK chart sales
Just received this from Nielsen. Pretty obvious, but still extremely interesting. It’s a shame that X Factor is now only one of very few shows on TV that artists can perform – the whole event is so theatrical it reflects badly on natural talent. But that may have always have been the case with tv talent contests.
I’ll still be watching it this year though!

MSN Entertainment: Best of 2009 podcast
What a year. Looking back, you couldn’t have predict any of it but you could always rely on the ol’ MSN Entertainment team to bring it to you in all its variety of colours, shapes and sizes. Hope you enjoy the podcast.
And here’s to 2010!
Cheryl Cole: MSN Music Guest Editor
Love this. A few weeks back we asked Cheryl to guest edit the MSN Music channel and she’s come up trumps. We’ve not only got an interview with her, she’s also penned her very own Editor’s Letter to MSN Music fans together with a list of what she’s into at the moment. Makes for some interesting reading.
Enjoy!
