Thanks to all the moderators and contributors for making these threads so enjoyable every Sunday. I did defect to Haven for about two weeks, but quickly realised the error of my ways and returned "home"

Looking forward to more of the same through 2015

Hi guys, Merry Christmas to everyone Huge thanks to the chart mod team from me too, here's to another great 2015 of the chart thread!

Really hoping Tom Odell can remain top 40 today, no other real hopes as the Xmas chart is a little unexciting this week. J-Hud scoring her first top 10 hit would be lovely but not expecting it.

Posted by: Suedehead2 21st December 2014, 03:45 PM

I would like to add my thanks to the chart team. A lot of the effort goes on behind the scenes so it is easy to overlook how much work is involved in providing the most comprehensive chart show thread on the internet as well as the weekly midweeks and sales threads. So, a very Happy Christmas to the chart team from me and also Happy Christmas to all the members who contribute to this thread . If you normally read the thread without contributing, why not make a contribution this week?

Biography
Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London. After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish. Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the line-up. Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs; Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999 and The Blue Room in the same year. The latter was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone.

They achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow" in 2000, followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), was released to critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. They have also come top of the BBC Radio 2 poll of the favourite album of all time. Their next release, X&Y, the best-selling album worldwide in 2005, was met with mostly positive reviews upon its release, though some critics felt that it was inferior to its predecessor. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely positive reviews, earning several Grammy nominations and wins at the 51st Grammy Awards. On 24 October 2011, they released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which received mixed to positive reviews, topped the charts in over 34 countries, and was the UK's best-selling rock album of 2011.

The band has won a number of music awards throughout their career, including eight Brit Awards—winning Best British Group three times, five MTV Video Music Awards, and seven Grammy Awards from twenty five nominations. Coldplay have sold more than 60 million records worldwide. In December 2009, Rolling Stone readers voted the group the fourth-best artist of the 2000s.

Coldplay have been an active supporter of various social and political causes, such as Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, Sound Relief, Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, The Secret Policeman's Ball, and the Teenage Cancer Trust. - Wikipedia

Biography
John Roger Stephens (born December 28, 1978), better known by his stage name John Legend, is an American singer-songwriter and actor. He has won nine Grammy Awards, and in 2007, Legend received the special Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Prior to the release of his debut album, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists. Legend added his voice to those of other artists, assisting in them reaching chart-topper hits.

Jermaine Scott Sinclair (born 9 March 1985), better known by his stage name Wretch 32 (three-two), is an English rapper and former Grime MC from Tottenham, London where he grew up the son of a local reggae DJ in the Tiverton Estate. He was a member of the grime collective "Combination Chain Gang", before forming The Movement with Scorcher, Ghetts, and Mercston. Wretch released his first single "Traktor" in January 2011.

2009 Mp3 Music Awards announced that Wretch 32 was nominated for an Mp3 Award alongside Chipmunk and Haringey Independent and Channel U / Channel AKA published the story.

In 2011, Wretch 32 had three top-five charting songs from debut album Black and White and amassed over a million record sales. In 2012 he was used by both Adidas and Coca Cola as one of the main faces of their London 2012 Olympics campaigns and on 1 July 2012 he won 'Best International Act' at the 2012 BET Awards.

I actually quite like the studio version of Ben's single compared to when he did it on the show, but I think that is in part because there is a choir included on the chorus so you can't really hear him then.

Still don't think the song is that great (not a fan of the OneRepublic original either), but it is more tolerable now.

Biography
Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna.

Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2.

Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K.

"I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes

In fairness Slade have made the top 40 5 times since 2007 (only one less than Wizzard) and weren't far off the other times, you make it sound like the popularity gap is much bigger than it actually is!

I really don't want to be negative but this chart has been excruciating ever since Sing. Last Christmas is probably my least favourite Christmas song, so awfully saccharine it makes my skin crawl a little, and the two Blames are as boring as ever.

Probably upwards from now though, even if Ghost is past it these days. I thought I should listen as it's the Christmas #1 week.

Biography
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed with the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless became the best-selling album of 2009 and was supported by an extensive concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Swift's third album, 2010's Speak Now, sold over one million copies in its first week of US release and was supported by the Speak Now World Tour. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards. Swift's fourth album, Red, was released in 2012. Its opening US sales of 1.2 million were the highest recorded in a decade, with Swift becoming the only female artist to have two million-plus opening weeks. The singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" were worldwide hits. The Red Tour is visiting worldwide venues in 2013 and 2014.

Swift is known for her narrative songs about her experiences as a teenager and young adult. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift's other achievements include seven Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, eleven Country Music Association Awards and six Academy of Country Music Awards. She has sold over 26 million albums and 75 million digital single downloads worldwide. Forbes estimates that she is worth over $220 million. In addition to her music career, Swift has appeared as an actress in the ensemble comedy Valentine's Day (2010) and the animated film The Lorax (2012). As a philanthropist, Swift supports arts education, children's literacy, natural disaster relief, LGBT anti-discrimination efforts, and charities for sick children. - Wikipedia

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st December 2014, 04:40 PM

Hoping Christmas sales can benefit Ella Henderson like they did Rebecca Ferguson a few years back, deserves to do well with her debut album. It is a real shame that "Ghost" is hanging around like it is and overshadowing the other releases, though I'm hopeful "Yours" can hang around for a bit in the new year.

"Shake It Off" on its way out, but I'm sure it'll be back in February with the BRITs (unless she performs "Blank Space").

The Vine video of Tom Robinson dancing to "Shake It Off" is the funniest thing I've seen all year.

I imagine this will be a HUGE beneficiary of the Gift Card effect, I'd possibly say even top 10 or close if streaming wasn't hindering it.

I'm much preferring Blank Space, Style and Out Of The Woods at the moment. This has been overdone now.

Been loving the Blonde track this week.

Generic, but hella good!

I remember back before this was "properly" released everyone saying it'll be around forever. How right you all were!

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st December 2014, 04:54 PM

The problem with all these dance tracks is that they are held back for far too long. Yes they get pleasing chart peaks for record labels, but they don't sell that much in the long run. Going way back to "Changes", we've had so many that deserved to sell more - "Jubel", "Walking with Elephants" and "Bullit" to name a few.

Alesso's "Heroes" is soon to join them in this category, and there's Mike Mago & Dragonette's "Outlines" to come out ridiculously late from its debut in 2015.

Either "Budapest" needs to get a good few boosts and become a million seller or it needs to bugger off - "Listen to the Man" needs its time to shine!

Budapest But for you I'd lose it all

Posted by: Dobbo 21st December 2014, 04:57 PM

Agree with most of this. Don't expect Outlines to do anything chart-wise however.

Some dance tracks can pull off the longevity such as Hideaway, Waves, Nobody To Love etc. the good/genuinely popular songs will always hang around for a long time regardless of release strategy.

Biography
Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour. His second studio album is titled x, read as "multiply", and is scheduled for worldwide release on 23 June 2014. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia

Biography
Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes

Posted by: SevenSleighz 21st December 2014, 05:04 PM

The frontloaded-ness has a bit to do with it, though with the likes of 'Walking With Elephants' and 'Bullit', they didn't stick around long because of their limited appeal (the former even reaching the top 10 was a pretty huge achievement)

(i'd like to think Heroes will fall out quickly too, but i get the feeling that'll stick around a bit longer than it deserves to~)

Biography
Best known for her Tony-nominated performance in the Broadway smash Rent, singer/actress Idina Menzel made her solo debut in 1998 with the pop-soul effort Still I Can't Be Still. She joined the cast for Wicked in 2003 and appeared on the recording that same year, while 2004 saw her releasing the album Here. The following year, Menzel appeared on the soundtrack to the television show Desperate Housewives, and a duet with Ray Charles (which the pair had recorded back in 1998) found its way onto the tribute album Genius & Friends. In 2007, a dance version of Wicked's "Defying Gravity" became Menzel's first club hit. A year later she landed on the major label Warner Bros. and released a new album, I Stand. - iTunes

Biography
Timothy McKenzie (born 4 January 1989), better known by his stage name Labrinth, is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Initially, he was tipped to work as a producer, but Simon Cowell signed him to his record label Syco Music as a solo act. In the process, Labrinth became Cowell's first non-talent show signing in six years.

Labrinth made his debut appearance on the UK Singles Chart in March 2010, when his collaboration with rapper Tinie Tempah, "Pass Out", reached number one. McKenzie has collaborated with Tinie Tempah on numerous occasions since. Labrinth's first solo single, "Let the Sun Shine" was released in September 2010, reaching number three in the same chart. His debut album Electronic Earth, was released on 31 March 2012, having been preceded by the singles "Earthquake" featuring Tinie Tempah and "Last Time", which peaked at number two and number four respectively. He achieved his first number-one single in November 2012 with "Beneath Your Beautiful", featuring Emeli Sandé. - Wikipedia

Good for Ella and Paloma holding strong in the top 15 with their albums, hopefully they got decent sales to add to their totals this week.

#22 for Nicki isn't as bad as I thought, I was expecting it to miss the top 30.

Taken a few weeks but thoroughly obsessed with 'Dangerous' now One of my faves from Guetta now.

Fantastic sales for 'x'! [/late] I had a feeling for a while that it'd pass 200k for Xmas week, pleased to be proven right. Hope there are a few other albums over 100k.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st December 2014, 05:21 PM

I'm still excited to see what's chosen as the follow-up to this. He has so many great tracks on 'Listen' to choose from, I personally think he should leave the Emeli Sande one a bit longer.

Hozier finally top 20 - and he may climb further yet, coming to break Imagine Dragons' record for latest point in an unbroken chart run to reach a peak? Still sounds great so hooray for its continued success

Aside: some fun coincidences in the album chart this week. 38/40 of the top 40 are the same as last week, with a new entry from a rapper (Nicki Minaj) and a boyband (5 Seconds Of Summer) kicking out last week's only two new entries, which were by a rapper (J. Cole) and a boyband (Union J).

Biggest sleeper hit of 2014? Only other hits like this I can remember in recent years are The 1975's "Chocolate", Awolnation's "Sail" and Foster the People"s "Pumped Up Kicks".

Biography
Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes

Am I the only one who didn't see this spending 30+ weeks in the T40. While "Money on My Mind" hasn't done half as poorly as I thought it would, I was sure this wouldn't fare that much better. The poorest album track imo, but great to see Sam Smith getting success regardless - "Like I Can" deserves to be HUGE though!

Posted by: Dobbo 21st December 2014, 05:35 PM

This is such a poor Christmas chart in truth (and it can't even wholly be blamed on streaming).

At least this didn't return to the top 10 which was entirely plausable.

Having said that everything performed on X Factor final has done minimal. Where's Photograph/Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Biography
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist. Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), and Merry Christmas (1994), Carey was established as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single "One Sweet Day", a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history. During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.

Carey left Columbia in 2000, and signed a $100 million recording contract with Virgin Records. Before the release of her first feature film Glitter (2001), she suffered a physical and emotional breakdown and was hospitalized for severe exhaustion. Following the film's poor reception, she was bought out of her recording contract for $50 million, which led to a decline in her career. She signed a multi-million dollar contract deal with Island Records in 2002, and after an unsuccessful period, returned to the top of music charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). Its second single "We Belong Together" became her most successful single of the 2000s, and was later named "Song of the Decade" by Billboard. Carey once again ventured into film with a well-received supporting role in Precious (2009); she was awarded the "Breakthrough Performance Award" at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and Black Reel and NAACP Image Award nominations.

In a career spanning over two decades, Carey has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards. Carey was also named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, she is the third best-selling female artist in the United States, with 63.5 million certified albums. With the release of "Touch My Body" (2008), Carey gained her eighteenth number one single in the United States, more than any other solo artist. In 2012, Carey was ranked second on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Women in Music". Aside from her commercial accomplishments, Carey has won five Grammy Awards, 17 World Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, and 31 Billboard Music Awards. Referred to as the "songbird supreme" by the Guinness World Records, she is famed for her five-octave vocal range, power, melismatic style and signature use of the whistle register. - Wikipedia

Song info
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for relief of the 1983–85 famine in Ethiopia. The original version was produced by Midge Ure and released by Band Aid on 28 November 1984.

At a press conference on 10 November 2014, Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure announced that in 2014 a group of artists would again come together to re-record the song, this time under the banner of 'Band Aid 30' and in aid of the Ebola crisis. It was released on the following Monday, 17 November, just 11 days short of the 30th anniversary of the release of the original version of the track. - iTunes

Explain something to me - will future purchases of this song (i.e. in 2015) still have it's tax wavered and will all money from sales still go towards to Ebola cause?

Everyone had such high expectations of Band Aid 30. I actually really like the track, though as everyone is in agreement with the original cannot be beaten.

Posted by: harryflynn0908 21st December 2014, 05:42 PM

Biography
Rather than the usual bombast or snooze-inducing "relaxation music," the U.K. six-piece known as Clean Bandit mash classical music and pop forms for an airy and dreamy yet driven sound that's like the chamber music version of house music. The core four-piece of the group were known as the Chatto Quartet, a classically trained string quartet that performed J.S. Bach and cited Jacqueline du Pré as an influence, but their post-show, wind-down music often consisted of garage, two-step, Craig David, and Arcade Fire tracks. The quartet members were aware of both producer Jon Wandeck and MC Ssegamic through the duo's work in photography, and when Wandeck suggested they play on one of his house music cuts, Clean Bandit were born. With MC Ssegamic on the mike, they released the classical-meets-house-meets-hip-hop-meets-heartbreak song "Telephone Banking" in the summer of 2011. Their Dance Armstrong mixtape followed in 2012, while 2013 saw the release of their Mozart's House EP. - iTunes

Biography
Following the success of JLS and the Wanted, X Factor contestants One Direction were the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the boy-band concept. The quintet outdid all of their predecessors, becoming the biggest boy band since Take That, selling millions of albums and singles, filling arenas and making movies, while hitting number one many times over across the world with undeniably hooky songs and plenty of boy next door charm.

The group was formed by Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford; Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster, and Liam Payne from Wolverhampton (the latter had previously reached the judge's house stages of The X Factor as a 14-year-old back in 2008). Each originally entered 2010's seventh series of X Factor as individuals, but following a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, they soon became one of the favorites to win the show, thanks to renditions of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." However, despite receiving a standing ovation for their duet with Robbie Williams ("She's the One") in the live final, they eventually finished third behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

Spotting the potential of five Justin Bieber-esque teen pinups, Cowell signed them to his Syco label in a two-million dollar deal, and after performing on the X Factor tour, the quintet began work on their debut album with Savan Kotecha (Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias). Following a sponsorship deal with Nintendo DS and a book, Forever Young, named after their cover of the Alphaville classic that was intended to be their winner's song, they released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album Up All Night followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when Up All Night sold over 176,000 copies during its first week of release in America.

In late 2012, One Direction released their sophomore album, Take Me Home. Highlighting more of the band's melodic pop, Take Me Home featured songs and production via Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who worked on Up All Night, as well as contributions from singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. The album proved to be another smash and topped charts around the world, earning multi-platinum certification in half a dozen countries. The singles "Live While We're Young" and "Little Things" also hit number one across the globe, and "Kiss You" reached the Top Ten in the U.S.

One Direction then embarked on a globe-spanning tour in which the band played over 100 shows, including six sold-out nights at London's massive O2 Arena. At the same time, they were being filmed by director Morgan Spurlock for This Is Us, a mix of documentary and concert footage that proved to be successful at the box office when it was released in August of 2013. While they were touring, One Direction also began work on their third album, Midnight Memories. Released just in time for the 2013 holidays, the record featured songwriting input from all the members, a new production team, and some new folk and '80s hair metal influences. It nearly outdid Take Me Home and Up All Night, peaking at number one in seven countries and spawning the singles "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life." - iTunes

A bit of a drop from the midweeks for 'Go All Night'! Still, this is a pretty decent result after the last single's mega flop and this being a post-album release.

Posted by: Michael Bubré 21st December 2014, 05:53 PM

#14 is very impressive for this especially in Christmas week. This is a big return to form for them after 'Unmissable' which I never liked much.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 21st December 2014, 05:53 PM

I don't want to sound ancient here, but they've only been doing them for, what, five or six years? That's barely even a blip compared to the number of Christmas charts I can remember. When I was a kid, there were no John Lewis adverts at all.

Also, I think it's a rubbish sub-XFactor cover.

Posted by: SevenSleighz 21st December 2014, 05:53 PM

a nice result for Gorgon City, would be interesting to see if it sticks around much after the gift card effect wears off

Posted by: Dobbo 21st December 2014, 05:54 PM

The weakest of their 5 singles but still great to hear Gorgon City in the charts again. Such a wonderfully produced album.

Posted by: Simon. 21st December 2014, 05:54 PM

Would have been nice for J Hud to have had her first top 10.

Posted by: Jester 21st December 2014, 05:55 PM

This is co-written by Kiesza? Great! Love it, deserved top 10 though

Posted by: Juan Carlos 21st December 2014, 05:55 PM

I was expecting a Top 10 debut, but if it's considered how "Unmissable" did and streaming, I guess it's good though.

Posted by: Eth▲n 21st December 2014, 05:55 PM

Oh NO! Gorgon City missed the top ten?!

'Go All Night'

Posted by: Santa Martin 21st December 2014, 05:56 PM

Not bad, its better than their last hit that tanked.

Posted by: Riser 21st December 2014, 05:56 PM

Yeah I know that! But I'm interested to see if it continues for the next decade or so It's a newer tradition, if you will

Posted by: mr_aly 21st December 2014, 05:56 PM

I think this is my second favourite after 'Ready For Your Love' now.

(Actually, 3rd with 'Real' factored in as well)

Posted by: steve201 21st December 2014, 05:56 PM

Notice how these songs are all on the indie side of pop and they end up sleeper hits due to a lack of mainstream airplay apart from radio 1

Posted by: JosephCarey 21st December 2014, 05:56 PM

And? It's become a recent tradition for the John Lewis cover to be a force in the chart at this time of year. It's not been going for that long but it'd still be quite weird following the success of the tracks in past years for Tom not to be top 40 this week. That's the point that was being made ~

YASSS Jennifer Hudson, shame it's not top 10 but the GLORIOUS Spotlight remains her rightful highest peaker so every cloud.

Go All Night

Posted by: FrostytheWallaby 21st December 2014, 05:57 PM

I like Gorgon City's style a lot more than the likes of David Guetta & Calvin Harris, feels a lot more fresh.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st December 2014, 05:57 PM

Ah man, this was still #9/10 on Friday - now down to #14. Glad they've managed another hit from 'Sirens', albeit with cheating method (removing track and making it a pre-order) much like Wiley did with "Lights On" to achieve another T10.

Fingers crossed this can stick around for a while, though I won't hold my breath with the gift card effect looming.

Biography
Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes

Really happy this has done well. Would have loved it to be top 10, but I can settle for a second top 20 for Jennifer Hudson.

Posted by: Mixture 21st December 2014, 05:58 PM

'Sirens' is great. Unmissable and this should've been top 10 hits too.

Btw, Hi y'all!

Posted by: Dobbo 21st December 2014, 05:59 PM

And Wilkinson's Half Light.

Like I Can rightly Sam's highest, should be a shoe-in for top 10 next week.

Posted by: Michael Bubré 21st December 2014, 05:59 PM

I think it's pretty justified to call the John Lewis Xmas ad a new tradition - if it isn't then how many more years does it need to go on before it can be considered one? They clearly aren't stopping them any time soon and like it or not it is now a part of Christmas in the UK, remember the media coverage / anticipation for this year's ad.

Posted by: fchd 21st December 2014, 05:59 PM

A "recent tradition" is almost an oxymoron.

Posted by: Riser 21st December 2014, 06:01 PM

Sam's tone in the chorus of "Like I Can" is just unbearable for me :\

Biography
With a "cheeky chappy" persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call-center worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 season of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing while at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sixth series of The X Factor that enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by the Beatles, Queen, and George Michael and soon became the favorite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/Syco Music and embarked on the sold-out X Factor arena tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired "Please Don't Let Me Go," in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting for Girls' Roy Stride, and Wayne Hector, was released in 2010. The record produced three U.K. Top 20 singles, with "Thinking of Me" and "Heart on My Sleeve" racking up chart positions alongside the debut number one "Please Don't Let Me Go."

Murs took a short break from his musical career in late 2011 to present the eighth season of The Xtra Factor — a spinoff behind-the-scenes look at The X Factor — returning to the program that shot him to fame. His experience with the dynamics involved in the show and his upbeat character made him a firm favorite with the audience — as well as flirty co-presenter Caroline Flack. During the recording of each show, Murs was working on songs for his second album with writers Steve Robson (Lily Allen, James Morrison) and Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys). The first single from his second record, "Heart Skips a Beat," featuring U.K. hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, was released in summer 2011 and swiftly became a hit. The full release, In Case You Didn't Know, followed in November and secured his first U.K. number one album. The following year, Murs opened for sprightly boy band One Direction on their North American tour and re-released the "Heart Skips a Beat" single, replacing Rizzle Kicks with Philadelphia rap duo Chiddy Bang, to coincide with the shows. Also in 2012, Murs released his third studio album, Right Place Right Time, which included the single "Troublemaker," featuring rapper Flo Rida. ~ Jon O'Brien & Scott Kerr, Rovi / iTunes

Biography
The Pogues are an Irish band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so.

Their politically tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern, mandolin and accordion.

The Pogues were founded in Kings Cross, a district of Central London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone—pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". - Wikipedia

Reaching the top 20 for 10 consecutive years is an incredible achievement! Even in 2010 when everyone briefly went off Xmas music for some reason (judging by the low peaks for all of the standards that year).
