Agreed. It's completely without precedent, for her. That's why you guys who rip into her for telling the same old stories over here that she tells over there are missing the point: 99.99% of people in the UK have never heard them.

But seriously, guys, she's everywhere right now. The BBC has become the SNBC. It's so cool, and she's obviously still got a real cachet with broadcasters of a certain age, judging by the DJs' twitter feeds.

Good times!

From your keyboard to Stevie's ears! I didn't get tix for Hard Rock Calling because it clashes with a family wedding, but I so hope she'll do a couple of gigs here later in the year with Dave. Maybe stopping off en route to Oz? Pleeeeeeeeeeease, Stevie!!

It's probably not helping Beyoncé that her album leaked, and it's not that fantastic. Hurray for Stevie though! I've pre-ordered my copy from HMV, so I can finally play IYD in the car. I'd love for her to do well in the UK.

This is great news. I hope that if she does go top 10 with her album that she actually tours it over here this year. I'm going to be a little pissed if the album charts high after so much promotion and she still doesn't play at least one solo show in London (besides this Hyde Park gig) or a couple around the UK this year in support for the new album. It's been too long since her last solo shows here. She probably could have squeezed in a couple in the time she's been over here already. Fingers crossed.

I forgot about it being Glastonbury weekend..the following week the ENTIRE UK chart will be influenced by the artists who played that festival. Considering she's not playing Glasto..she doesn't stand as much of a chance of having a high placing on the album chart,sadly.
