I was listening to "Alright, Still" for the first time. Loves it! Fav track is Knock 'Em Out! Love the ending! "I've got herpes!!...no wait... syphilis!!...no AIDS AIDS! I've got AIDS!!!!" LOL "Knock 'Em Out" is my favourite Lily Allen song. It's hilarious. I haven't heard one person mention Chinese. It's actually my favorite song on the album, especially when I reduce the song to its individual elements and play around with the different tracks. Maybe it's because I am a hopeless romantic but that song has managed to bring a tear to my eye most times I play it. "Chinese" is one of my favourites on the new album. You're right, it's so romantic and that's one of the reasons I love it so much.

The album had some nice songs, but I disliked most of it overall. I found it quite easy to immediately tell if I'd like a track or not, cause the ones I disliked were very 'samey'. lol. Good: Chinese F--k You I Could Say Who'd Have Known The Fear Meh: Everyone's At It Not Fair 22 Back To The Start Never Gonna Happen Him He Wasn't There

I like this album much better than "Alright, Still". I find her debut to be somewhat overrated, and it has a very high burn rate to me. I haven't played that album in over a year, and I am still not intending to. But this I could see myself play for a long time to come. Good job, Lily.

She responded to me on Twitter. She and Mike Skinner are having a little tiff.
Lily: Pranging out ? Me: lily allen > mike skinner. Lily: wink wink
Just thought I'd share my fangirl moment.

"The Fear" is still #1 in UK midweeks, 5k ahead of Lady GaGa.
The album is #2. Morrissey is 1k ahead of her.

#1 album in Canada! Lily Allen debuts at No. 1 By JOHN WILLIAMS British pop singer Lily Allen made a great second impression on the Canadian album charts. Her sophomore album, "It's Not Me, It's You," debuted at No. 1 on sales of 8,500 copies, according to data compiled by Neilsen SoundScan. Her first album, "Alright, Still," only managed a No. 21 peak back in 2007. ------------- And it's all thanks to Becky!
