So the big evening has come and gone...

And as usual the BLUE GLOVE AWARDS had its share of "predictable winners" as well as its surprises!

Summarising, the "stats" were as follows: Iron Maiden and Pet Shop Boys were the big winners - each walking away with 3 awards (one of the surprises being the former snatching away the 'Album Of The Year' from the latter), then 2 awards each were awarded to Will Young, Madonna, a-ha, Freshlyground, Europe and Kim Wilde. One award each went to: Scissor Sisters, Gnarls Barkley, Prince, Goldfrapp, Justin Timberlake feat. T.I., Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean, Gloria Estefan and George Michael.

An award introduced for the first time, and that I think very well-deservingly went to Europe - for 'Album Cover Of The Year' for their 'Secret Society' album... really great, isn't it?

Something related - as we're at the end of 2006, and gearing up for the New Year... is of course the YEAR-END CHARTS... Congrats of course first of all to a-ha - for having the #1 single of the year for a second year in a row! (Last year was with 'Celice' - which coincidently still makes the Top 10 this year!) Two other artists have two Top 10's... Freshlyground very impressingly with two in the Top 5, and Madonna ('Hung Up' - like 'Celice' - still hanging on in the Top 10!) On the Album Chart, Pet Shop Boys have the #1 Album for the first time in their careers... (closely followed by metal masters Iron Maiden with the biggest album of their career). The rest of the charts speak for themselves... all in all not a bad year for pop!

Well done to ALL the winners! And especially to Pet Shop Boys! Who would have thought that to old "poppers" like them could leave the islands shaken , not stirred, 20 years after their first single West end Girls ?

Yes, "Holly Dolly-fever" is sweeping over Waldia as well - the song is currently at No. 3 on the Ultra-Pop Top 30! By the way, DO check out the No. 1 this week by Kenan Dogulu (Arab-Pop at its very best). Kenan also walked away with the Ultra-Pop "Video of the Year" awards during Friday night's ceremony. Incidentally, Mattafix's "Big City Life" took the award for "Song of the Year", followed by Mihai Traistariu's "Tornero", 6T2's marvelous cover of "Zabadak", Texas' "Sleep" & Chingy's fabulous "Dem Jeans".

Attention all James Bond fans...! The Second Single from the fabulous Scissor Sisters album 'Ta-Dah'. The video for the beautiful 'Land Of A Thousand Words' is a spoof of a Bond title entrance - with fluffers and drag names in the titles, so look out! A great song for the festive season.

From Pet Shop Boy !

Quite impressive - as the new Pet shop Boys album "fundamental " has been in the top 20 for 30 weeks , of which 11 weeks at number 1 ! This could very well be a winner at the blue gloves this year ! I am surprised though that "Numb" has dropped out fairly quickly.. and was wondering if anyone knows which song from fundamental will be released as a single after "Numb" I'm hoping will be "Luna Park " or "Integral" .

Long live the Boys !

'Numb' is such a great song... the competition was just "impossible" this week however... (slipping from #14 to #21 this week) They're certainly doing great on the 'Islands; however - their last two singles 'Minimal' and 'Numb' didn't do too great internationally, so unfortunately I doubt there'll be more international singles (but hopefully I'm wrong!) My hope would be for 'Integral' and 'The Soddom And Gomorrah Show', as I think these songs are screaming out to become singles! In the light of their success on these shores, I guess more singles might not be out of the question here... Speaking of the Blue Glove Awards however, watch this space...!
