Thoughts on music

This blog is intended to do "exactly what it says on the tin" so below are some of my 'Thoughts on Music'. They predominantly concern recent matters but will not always do so. I'll also happily turn to matters of the music industry more generally if and when I feel so inclined. So there! If you don't agree with something please feel free to add a comment. They are moderated by me (so I'll get to read it) and I might even reply. Above all however just enjoy whatever music you like! Richard

Mercy - it is legal too!

I think that Duffy has today become the first UK female solo artist, never involved in a reality TV show and not previously involved as a regular member in any chart band, to take a self-written single to #1 in the UK before the release of her first album!

I'm fairly sure that no female artist has ever done
that in the UK singles charts in the last 30 years.

That is on downloads alone and also before the release of her first album, Rockferry - released 3rd March, which is currently ranked #1 on sales on amazon.co.uk!
