QUOTE(jase. @ May 29 2015, 05:44 PM)  In YOUR opinion it isn't an excuse, in mine it is. A lot of people probably zoned out when Ricky started performing [which is exactly what my flatmate did] because he's...irrelevant in this country. That's fair enough, I hadn't considered that actually and I see your POV now. No harm in debating...

QUOTE(jase. @ May 30 2015, 04:52 AM)  99. Stole the Show (feat. Parson James) - KygoI can see this being a big summer hit  Sadly I think this has stalled now, will forever be in Firestone's shadow. Another big new track could do well for him now though with the seeds planted. |

'Stole The Show' is very poor compared to 'Firestone', but he's capable of greatness.

QUOTE(LeeWallace @ May 29 2015, 05:56 PM) I do like 'Black Magic' but I would be disappointed if it managed to go to #01 as it doesn't sound like a #01 song in the slightest. I do think the charts are crying for pop songs right now though. 'Disco Love' would have went #01 on iTunes had it not been for new releases so imagine how it would have performed with decent enough radio airplay. Wasn't that released the same week as Wrecking Ball, Berzerk, R U Crazy and Cheating? Would have been one of the campest #1s ever!  I think pure pop songs do well enough already More of them will turn even more people off the charts than are already and are always gonna have limited sales to certain demographics.Since 2013, the charts have been relatively varied and lots of good stuff has charted. Hopefully this continues, but I do agree that pure pop will eventually become dominant again. In an ideal world, we'd have a 00s revival with all the great Hip Hop/R&B records as inspiration! Tinie's new song has got a decent boost from the video premiere as well.  Still can't see it getting to #1 though.

All songs are limited to certain demographics, are they not? Anything song that is popular, which it has to be to make #1 really, seems unlikely to make people turn off just because it's pop. |

 6. Jessie J - Flashlight  10. Major Lazer & DJ Snake ft. MO - Lean On  13. The Weeknd - The Hills 18. Mans Zelmerlow - Heroes  21. Charles Hamilton ft. Rita Ora - New York Raining 26. Florence & The Machine - Ship To Wreck  44. Sheppard Geronimo 61. Nicki Minaj ft. Beyonce - Feeling Myself  65. Natalie La Rose ft. Jeremih - Somebody  94. Loic Nottet - Rhythm Inside  96. Charli XCX - Famous  188. Lawson - Roads Have to say, I'm still baffled by the long-term success of Ship To Wreck, it has to honestly be F&TM's worst single to date Thrilled for The Weeknd Jessie J, its a no from me Surprised that Sheppard hasn't dropped out the top 100 yet, I assumed this would have a Tulisa/Conor type run Loic & Mans doing much better than I expected they would Nicki & Beyonce did incredibly well off the back of a video, especially with no promo or single release Lawson entering the top 200 on Pre-Orders

Anything song that is popular, which it has to be to make #1 really, seems unlikely to make people turn off just because it's pop. You'd be surprised how many #1s aren't really that popular - just because its the biggest selling song of the week doesn't mean it has widespread appeal. I think more people would be put off a song if its pure or cheesy Pop than any other genre. Of course, if the song is catchy enough it can still do well (e.g. Call Me Maybe) but there's a large proportion of people who wouldn't be seen dead listening to stuff like that. The massive songs of recent years are ones like Get Lucky, Blurred Lines, Happy & Uptown Funk - crossover hits which are not 'guilty pleasures' to listen to. They appeal to a wider audience than artists like Little Mix or The Saturdays. |

Surely everyone who wants/wanted that song has it now! You hate it? You never mentioned that before

You never mentioned that before well you would think that, but it doesn't explain why people are still buying songs like Lose Yourself and Mr Brightside over 10 years after its release (currently #231 and #268). I guess some songs just keep on selling. Anyway 'Let It Go' is now at #92, not sure how significant a climb that is as I'm not sure where it previously was. |

Older songs (as in pre-iTunes) tend to sell more though, because people tend to not have them in their iTunes collections. "Let It Go" on the other hand is very recent, and most people who wanted it probably already bought it. This post has been edited by dhwe: 29th May 2015, 08:54 PM |
