Her single debuts at number one on the ARIA chart?
How is that possible do the record companies buy up all the singles?

Yes, although in this case, Cosima bought them all herself as she is the
record company.
She also bought all of Millsy's, but it wasn't enough to stop it crapping
out.

What is it with you language nazis? "Debuts" is in both the Oxford and
Webster's dictionaries. I've used it in scrabble on a few occasions
and it has never been challenged. What sort of halfwit would think
"debuts" is not a word?
It is not our fault that you morons can only comprehend 5000 of the
260000 words in the English language. The language evolves all the
time. It's not like someone drew a line in 1850 and said the language
is never allowed to change from this date forward. One of the good
things about English is no fascist ever said the the language is never
allowed to evolve (unlike French and other languages). You morons have
been picking on the Olympic commentators since the thing started.
"Medalled" is a valid verb to decribe one who has just won medal. Just
because you morons have never used it doesn't mean it's not valid.
Get a life you losers. The language evolves.

It's not that impressive to get to the top of the charts these days, sales
of over a few thousand will do it.

I was thinking through a considered response, and of course a
question as to the relevance of a Websters dictionary reference
here. But I realise that the only proper course of action, as you've
called me and others 'nazis' is to invoke Godwin's law, declare you
the loser, and have done with you.

Language nazis, Godwin's law is not invoked. The word "debuts" quite
clearly exists in both the Oxford and Websters dictionairies. They are
the two dictionairies I use because they are the legal scrabble
dictionaries. I quoted both merely to underline that debuts is a valid
word not only in the Oxford but also in an American English
dictionary.
Considered response my arse. Not only do pedantic fuckwits like you
shit me up the wall, I take great pleasure in pointing out when you
morons are wrong.
The language is constantly evolving.
The word is in both an English dictionary and an American English
dictionary.
You're a pedantic fucking tosser.
Godwin's law. rofl. Loser.

Perhaps in future, when you are giving someone a 'taste of their own
medicine', you should tell us, because you certainly weren't clear, and
your intent was not obvious.

Nice back handed apology there RT. I didn't expect anything better from
the likes of you though.

So you want me to 'apoogy' to you for you accusing me (and others) of
being Nazi's? Yeah, that makes sense, not.

You obviously don't know what a dictionary is. It is not a list of
words you moron.

I don't count your loss due to the invocation of Godwin's law to be
my win. However, your statement above certainly adds to my win
count.

The old goomba community probably helped out.

Maybe the fact that you've been suggesting we BELONG to the Nazis (as
opposed to suggesting a GROUP of Nazis) has something to do with it.
Come on kids. Nobody gives a flying fuck about grammar any more. SMS has
put the final nail in that particular coffin. As long as everyone
understands what's being said, it's fine. And after that, we get to make
our own judgements on someone's level of intelligence by their very public
displays of extremely bad grammar and punctuation.

And to mention that her song isn't exactly the most original one. It's yet
another version of "When The War Is Over"
How many people have done that song.
Even Delta Goodrem has that out as a single currently?
