I may be banned soon because the Britney stans could not take my remark that Femme Fatale was not as good as they thought it was.

Then leave the thread I don't want any more monsters banned

So is this worldwide? So it will probably be early Tuesday morning for me.

It's so annoying when people can't take criticism that's objective. I didn't think there was anything wrong with what you said. You just can't argue with a lot of them.

By the way, I worked out a *very* (I stress, *very*) approximate way of working out points for the UWC...

I based it on data given on sales and airplay for BTW this week and last.

Last week it was #1 with 434.000pts, with 103.000 airplay points and 470.000 copies sold.
This week it was #1 wit 424.000pts, with 127.000 airplay points and 410.000 copies sold.

Simultaneously solved...

103.000x + 470.000y = 434.000 . . . (1)
127.000x + 410.000y = 424.000 . . . (2)

(1) x 127
(2) x 103

13.081.000x + 59.690.000y = 55.118.000 . . . (3)
13.081.000x + 42.230.000y = 43.672.000 . . . (4)

(3) - (4)

17.460.000y = 11.446.000
y = 0.656

Substitute y into (1)

103.000x + 470.000(0.656) = 55.118.000
x = 1.222

Basically, multiply airplay points by 1.222 and sales by 0.656 to get the total.
I tested the theory with Grenade and it seems relatively sound:

138.000(1.222) + 230.000(0.656) = 319.000 (actual total 310.000)

Obviously this is extremely generalised and there must be some other factor that influences the points total, but it does give a *relatively* good idea of how the points system works.

^any estimates for next week?

You must be really close to 10 warning points. Gurl just stay in this thread for a bit to cool down.

Let's just hope they don't report.

How do you find the sales & airplay figures though?

Unfortunately, the airplay is also based on points, rather than AI.

Alot of people can't take it when someone disagrees with the fact that the album isnt "album of the milenium" as Ive seen one call it Instead of arguing with Haus Of Wilkes over his opinion they should worry about TTWE, which is doing bad almost everywhere

They gave the sales and airplay points on the weekly report and I manipulated the data from there. Unfortunately the airplay is a points based system, whereas sales are just sales, so I don't know how the airplay points are calculated.

Oh, I should really read that more often

Gurls Britney stans can say the same about us! Every stan group is protective off their artist. Stans who give criticism of another artists album are easy target to attack! We as stans are biased in favour of our faves not matter what. Its hard to accept critictism no matter who you stan for. Them and us have to take it on the chin and find clever ways to defend without getting banned.

From what I've heard so far BTW is going to Be not good. Just sayin

The point is I respect the opinions of others but not to the point where they over praise an album with 10/10, when it obviously does not deserve such a score!

I would not mind if someone reviewed Born This Way and gave it 68%, so long as they have substatinale evidence to back it up, I am fine with thier opinion. Britney stans cannot accept that sometimes they overdo things.

Hell, I gave Born This Way only 6.5/10, because it just was not 'new' enough, I was actually pretty leniant on Femme Fatale.

From what I've read so far, your grammar is going to Be not good. Just sayin

And if it's not good, I'll drink my tears tonight Hopefully I don''t get arrested though.
