What's It All About (Lil' Chris Album)
''What's It All About?'' is the second and final album by British singer-songwriter Chris Hardman, better known as Lil' Chris. The album was released on October 6, 2008, following the release of the album's lead and only single "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" more than a year earlier on October 19, 2007. The album was in fact an incompleted studio album; only six songs were recorded for the project, before RCA Records pulled the plug on any further studio recordings following the poor performance of the album's lead single. However, for contractual reasons, RCA were required to honour Chris' two-album deal, and therefore decided to package the six recorded songs with seven songs previously released on his debut album, ''Lil' Chris''. The album was then subsequently launched alongside Hardman's ''Everybody Loves Lil' Chris'' TV series for Channel 4 in an attempt to boost sales, but only managed to peak at #94 on the UK Albums Chart. The album remains Hardman's last releas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

UK Albums Chart
The Official Albums Chart is a list of albums ranked by physical and digital sales and (from March 2015) audio streaming in the United Kingdom. It was published for the first time on 22 July 1956 and is compiled every week by the Official Charts Company (OCC) on Fridays (previously Sundays). It is broadcast on BBC Radio 1 (top 5) and found on the OCC website as a Top 100 or on UKChartsPlus as a Top 200, with positions continuing until all sales have been tracked in data only available to industry insiders. However, even though number 100 was classed as a hit album (as in the case of The Guinness Book of British Hit Albums) in the 1980s until January 1989, since the compilations were removed this definition was changed to Top 75 with follow-up books such as The Virgin Book of British Hit Albums book only including this data. As of 2021, the OCC still only tracks how many UK Top 75s album hits and how many weeks in Top 75 albums chart each artist has achieved. To qualify for the Of ...

Pop Rock
Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock) is a fusion genre with an emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than rock music. Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop). It may be viewed as a distinct genre field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock. The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music. Characteristics and etymology Much pop and rock music has been very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and " power pop" have been used to describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music. Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories. To the authors Larry Starr and C ...
