news:LDtqJL5s...@blueyonder.co.uk...
Their second chart-topper out of three attempts.
Unlike the previous two hits, this doesn't feature vocalist John Newman;
instead the track is fronted by teenager Ella Eyre. So not only is this the
second consecutive dance track to top the chart, it's the second in a row to
feature some actual good singing instead of an annoying autotuned bloke.
It's perhaps a less impressive song than 'Feel The Love', but it's still a
pleasant number that deserves to be a hit. And is.
Speaking of tracks with good vocals that deserve to be successful... is
something I'm going to have to stop doing now. This much-delayed single from
the much more delayed #Willpower album, '#thatPOWER' is, I think, the first
hit single with a hashtag for a title. Between that cross-promotion and the
obvious fanbase of Justin Bieber, this was an obvious choice of single, even
though it's not really any good at all. It's not even the best Will.I.Am
track in this chart.
> Daft Punk #3
A band who have to bear some of the blame for the trendiness of autotuned
male singers on dance tracks. This is the lead single from their first
proper studio album in eight years, though they have recorded soundtrack
albums and other spin-offs in the meantime, and their sound has been so
influential that they never really seemed to go away.
'Get Lucky' was released OAOS on Friday, but after one of the fastest iTunes
climbs in recent memory, it shifted a reported 50k in 48 hours, obviously
not enough to challenge for the very top but enough to beat a lot of tracks
that have four or five days' head start. And it's rather better than their
last lead single (admittedly released after the album) did, this week in
2005 (see other thread).
> Top 10 : Calvin/Ellie #7,
Eighth Top 10 single from the 18 Months album. If only the song could be as
interesting as that fact. Obviously the much-talked-of video has done
enough.
> PSY #10
But when you think of much-talked about videos, it's hard to beat this guy.
Admittedly, the track made a decent initial splash before the vid was out,
but it's obvious that the excitement around the clip for this has helped
sustain interest. It obviously won't be as big as 'Gangnam Style' but he's
kept himself free of one-hit-wonderdom in this country.
> Top 20 : Macklemore #12,
Another act who seemed at risk of that tag not so long ago, but have evaded
it without much in the way of gimmickry. Though the video does seem to have
boosted it somewhat after its smaller climbs in the previous two weeks.
>Clean Bandit #17,
Not the sort of act I expected from the name, but an act who claim to
combine elements of grime, classical and folk music. At least the title of
'Mozart's House' is no misnomer, since the track does include elements from
the late Austrian composer.
>Iggy Azalea #19
...And from an Austrian to an Australian. Best I could do with this boring
one-place climb by a boring song.
> Top 30 : Little Mix #23,
the version featuring her is probably why it's now T40, but also because
this is her first Top 40 appearance since a guest spot on a Pussycat Dolls
song I don't remember in 2009. Her last solo hit was a far back as 2006.
> Mat Zo #28
A collaboration with US producer Porter Robinson, who seems to have been the
major selling point. Indeed many have said this is similar to Robinson's own
hit 'Language', and I might agree if I could remember it.
He's obviously realised that collaborating with vocalists even more annoying
than himself is the way to go. To be fair, there's some decent production on
this, but the rapping, singing and lyrics are awful.
> Re-entries T40 : Emeli S (RAAB3) #26
on Britain's Got Talent. Bet the Andy Gibb estate are disappointed.
> New Entries outside the top 40 (plus new peaks) : Passenger #44,
again and buy it.
> Ben Howard #50,
Odd run this is having.
>Carly Rae Jepson #55,
Also odd that this is outdoing her previous single.
> Rihanna #70,
Third single from the album. At least until they try to pretend it's not a
single because it's flopping.
> Rudimental #72
This track is 'Right Here' - specifically, a remix which appears as a B-side
to the new single. The original version will be on their album in a eight
days time.
> Re-entries T75 : Gabrielle Aplin (PDSYLM) #63,
>Fall Out Boy (Ph) #66,
are both boosted by the release of their new album, but the latter only
moves within the T75.
> Adele (Sky) #71,
Has climbed just enough to be surprising.
> Eamon (FI) #74,
Gee, and I was really wondering which Eamon song might be re-charting.... :P
I do sort of remember people talking about this being back in the iTunes
chart a couple of weeks ago.
> Rudimental (FTL) #75
Putting them at both ends of the Top 75.

though it's perhaps more surprising that this is the first time he's ever
done so. Naturally, his 2011 Christmas album was unable to do so because it
was released in October; but it's more remarkable in retrospect that his
last normal album, Crazy Love, had to debut at 2 behind Alexandra Burke.
To Be Loved follows his usual formula of a few originals (four in this case)
and batch of cover versions. Most of the latter are fairly predictable,
although he does drift into the 1960s by covering 'To Love Somebody'
and'Who's Lovin' You'. Elsewhere the album includes collaborations with
Bryan Adams, the Puppini Sisters (who seem to exist purely in order to
collaborate with him now), a capella group Naturally 7 and Reese
Witherspoon, on the umpteenth smug celebrity cover version of 'Something
Stupid'.
> New Entries/New Peaks
> ---------------------
> Top 5 : Fall Out Boy #2
2009. Includes their two recent singles and collaborations with Big Sean,
Elton John and Courtney Love. The title Fall OUt Boy Save Rock And Roll, is
obviously ironic but still annoying.
> Top 10 : Yeah Yeah Yeah's #9
To Tell and obviously even longer since they first attracted attention with
their early garage-rock sound. After their not-entirely successful attempts
at pop crossover on the last album, they're back in an experimental mood,
producing a wide variety of sounds for a band with only two
instrumentalists. On this album they've even brought in rapper Dr Octagon
(aka Kool Keith) as well as adding with synthesisers and a choir. The
standard album ends with 'Wedding Song', which is apparently not an ironic
title.
The deluxe album adds four extra tracks, all alternative versions of songs
already on the album, though it does also have a slightly less hideous
cover.
> New entries/new peaks outside the top 20 : Steve Earle #30,
first album since 1987 to credit his backing band, the slight name change
acknowledging that they're now a mixed-sex outfit. As usual, the line-up
includes his sixth wife Alison Moorer (seventh if you count the woman he
married twice).
More than 30 years into his career, the substance of his music is fairly
settled, mostly rebellious country with a political and personal streak,
including a song about his three-year-old son.
The deluxe version offers a bonus DVD with a higher-quality encoding of the
album, plus a video, making-of documentary and four live tracks.
>Kid Cudi #32,
His first Top 75 album here, though it looks to be his third in a row to hit
the US Top 5; and curiously this has all happened despite the lack of a hit
single on this occasion and with the album charting only on download so far
(which explains why neither of us knew it was out). Although it's not the
wholly collaborative album he once promised, it does feature such names as
Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Haim, RZA and Michael Bolton. Hang on a minute,
one of those doesn't seem right somehow.
>Angel #33,
I'd sort of forgotten he existed until he had a Top 75 single last week.
Anyway, despite only one serious hit to date (with 'Wonderful') he's amassed
enough of a fanbase to make a respectable debut with his first album. This
seems to omit his Number 41 single 'Go In Go Hard' with Wretch 32, though Mr
32 does crop up elsewhere on the album.
>Major Lazer #34,
Second album from the dancehall reggae side-project that was originally a
collaboration between producers Diplo and Switch. Switch has, er, pulled out
of the project but Diplo has managed to tempt many a guest star into the
studio including Shaggy, Bruno Mars, Wyclef Jean, Wynter Gordon, Peaches,
Elephant Man and members of Vampire Weekend and Haim.
> Kacey Musgraves #39,
An album that seems to be doing rather better on Amazon and iTunes than in
the overall chart - although that's partly because it's gained a bit in the
last couple of days (which is presumably how she overtook Iron & Wine). It's
the first UK release from the young American singer-songwriter who's already
had success as a writer for country singers in her homeland.
>Iron & Wine #40,
The fifth album from Sam Beam (his real name, even though it sounds like he
should be a character in a detective novel), following the recent trend for
North American indie singer-songwriters to move towards AOR or even MOR
sounds as they're offered bigger recording budgets. Despite this apparent
move toward the mainstream, it has actually charted slightly lower than the
last one.
> Ghost BC #58,
Second album and major-label debut from a Swedish occult metal band, who
were originally called Ghost but had to add to the name for legal reasons.
Apparently it's a bit more commercial than their first album, except that
all the songs are still about Satan.
>Passenger #71
An album that was originally released in October and re-released in
February.
> Re-entries : David Bowie (AS) #56,
this album? Well, yes it can (it wasn't, in fact, but it could have been).
40 years ago next month, this became Bowie's first Number One album. It also
includes his first Top 3 singles 'The Jean Genie' and 'Drive-In Saturday':
there's also a re-recording of his early flop single 'The Prettiest Star',
and 'Time' (which was released as a single only in America, possibly because
of its lyrical content). A follow-up to his breakthrough set Ziggy Stardust,
it introduced a new alter-ego (although it was basically the same character
with a stripe painted on his face, if we're honest).
It follows the Ziggy album again in getting a fresh remaster from the
original engineer, which many fans say is the best-sounding CD version of
the album (though it apparently lacks a small amount of piano), as well as a
complete replica of the original sleeve and inserts, including the little
form you could send off to join the David Bowie Fan Club. He's not exactly
lacked publicity really, but it hasn't charted as well as the Ziggy re-issue
last year. Indeed it's only his third biggest-selling album this week.
>Hurts (Ex) #61,
An album that seemed to vanish after nobody cared about the first single,
but the second one's doing better.
> Jessie J (WYA) #65,
Saw a copy of this in a charity shop on Friday. I didn't buy it, obviously,
but I did buy a Now album that had a track in common with it. I also bought
another current chart album in a charity shop yesterday.
> Paloma Faith (DYWTT...) #67

I'm not sure how official this album is. And I'm even less sure of the
demand for it.
This week's metal act is Rob Zombie. This week's trendy French band are
Pheonix. There are also two new names (ot: manes) of established stars:
Snoop Lion and Karl Hyde
There's also a live CD/DVD by Whitesnake which may or may not be eligible
for the chart.

TBH, I actually saw somebody else mention it.

Talk over them? I didn't think it was the sound you were interested in. :P
But seriously, I didn't actually think they did talk over videos on music
channels. Most of them don't seem to have any presenters.

represented in Parliament, which is why he seems to take UKIP's policies
more seriously than those of the Liberal Democrats, who are actually in the
government. So even if you agree with UKIP, it seems like a waste of time
voting for them.
Anyway, to get back to the original point, I have no objection to people of
other nationalities actually living here, it's actually the petty
nationalism of the programme being called Britain's Got Talent that I find
more troublesome. But what really bothers me most is the suspicion that
these people are effectively ringers thrown on to boost ratings, against the
supposed spirit of the competition.
