Will need to listen to the Shawn Mendes track. Don't think it will start well but it could do well in the long run if it's as good as 'Stitches'.

Posted by: Jason 2nd June 2016, 11:11 PM

Can anyone find out if this Bastille's release is only a rumour or the truth?

Posted by: RobS 2nd June 2016, 11:13 PM

Alan walker's follow up is out now too. Interested to see how that does but yeah team Shawn judging from the clip it's sounding pretty good!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 2nd June 2016, 11:22 PM

For Dan who was asking about download sales for the Top 10. This was Tuesday download sales only (approx.) with streaming only sales in red

01 Justin Timberlake “Can’t Stop The Feeling” 4.7K 4.3K
02 Clean Bandit ft. Louisa Johnson 3.5K 2.4K
03 Calvin Harris/Rihanna “This Is What You Came For” 3.1K 5.6K
04 Kungs & Cookin' On 3 Burners “This Girl” 2.9K 2.1K
05 Drake “One Dance” 2.7K 8.1K
06 gnash ft. olivia o’brien “i hate you, i love you” 2.5K 3.1K
07 Galantis “No Money” 2K 4K
08 P!nk “Just Like Fire” 2K 1.3K
09 Cheat Codes x Kris Kross Amsterdam “Sex” 1.9K 2.6K
10 Beyoncé “Hold Up” 1.8K 0.1K

As you can see, the 8.1K streaming for Drake's “Once Dance” means that a lead that knocks Drake down to roughly 0.25 is required merely to keep pace with zero streaming, and with a moderate amount (say 4K/day for the Top 4 on the streaming chart as per Timberlake) down to roughly 0.4 to equate.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 2nd June 2016, 11:23 PM

Drake is on 0.5751 the lead at #1 at the moment for ref.

There appears to be a distinct lack of a new Bastille single. I went to bed excited as well

Posted by: Mdh 3rd June 2016, 07:44 AM

Mike Will Made-It & Rihanna - Nothing Is Promised

Is this new?

Posted by: Cremey 3rd June 2016, 07:46 AM

It is indeed. She was teasing it ages ago and everyone assumed it was from Anti. Glad we finally know what it is!

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 3rd June 2016, 08:20 AM

Shawn to #16!!

Posted by: Hadji 3rd June 2016, 08:34 AM

I think it may go top 40. Hope it does well seeing as IKWYDLS flopped

Posted by: jazzy_765 3rd June 2016, 08:40 AM

Love the new Shawn Mendes single!! ❤️

Posted by: jazzy_765 3rd June 2016, 08:58 AM

60. Charlie Puth feat. Selena Gomez - We Don't Talk Anymore ! .... Really hoping this becomes a big hit once video and AirPlay drops 😃

Posted by: Mango 3rd June 2016, 09:06 AM

I'm finding the new Shawn Mendes a bit bland on first listen. That new Alan Walker one is pretty good though, even if it pretty much follows the same formula as 'Faded'. Disappointing at lack of new Bastille

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd June 2016, 09:06 AM

Cliff Richard cover version

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd June 2016, 09:11 AM

I just hope Shawn Mendes doesn't get the #1 track, I don't think its that good as Stitches. Its pretty wide open for next week, any of the top 5 on iTunes could get it, Clean Bandit could be with a chance even Kungs, Calvin Harris, JT, gnash, Drake for a 9th week if a video drops, that's what I call a battle for #1

Posted by: liamk97 3rd June 2016, 09:14 AM

Ohhhh so is "Mike Will Made It" the phrase often dropped at the beginning of songs that, presumably, he/they/it produced?

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 3rd June 2016, 09:20 AM

I'd be surprised if Shawn went anywhere near #1 officially! Remember he has a fanbase who will all be buying it instantly hope it starts to get some airplay ASAP!

Posted by: danG 3rd June 2016, 09:20 AM

yeh, Mike Will Made-It is one of the big urban producers who love giving themselves a namedrop in their productions (see also: DJ Mustard)

and also yes, he is actually called Mike Will Made-It instead of just Mike Will.

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd June 2016, 09:36 AM

Also Drake and Shawn Mendes seem to be dominating the singles chart this year so far, Beyonce has chucked a few album tracks in, but they seem to have dropped off the radar, mind you that was more like an album boost, as Doctor Blind hinted there are lack of new releases, something big will probably drop. The next #1 has to be someone from that top 5, (Calvin, JT, Clean Bandit, Kungs and gnash). I know One Dance seems to have dropped a fair bit now, but its streams are still strong, and sales are getting lower, really difficult to call it, maybe JT will edge it next week somehow.

Posted by: Mdh 3rd June 2016, 09:39 AM

Where's that Otto Knows x Avicii track? I would have thought it would be top 40 at least by now?

Posted by: danG 3rd June 2016, 09:45 AM

Not top 1500

Posted by: Mdh 3rd June 2016, 09:51 AM

Is it even available? I can't believe it would flop so much

Posted by: cqmerqn 3rd June 2016, 10:10 AM

Stitches 2.0 is so bad.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 3rd June 2016, 10:18 AM

Stitches 2.0

Posted by: RobS 3rd June 2016, 10:23 AM

Well I found 'Treat you better' instantly good on first listen. In fact more instant than his other two singles but I can't see it holding top 10 for the official chart though.

Gold looking like becoming a big hit now as its streamings going well too!

Posted by: TheSnake 3rd June 2016, 01:25 PM

Thank goodness that Jonas Blue one won't make the official top 40 - Rather Be style verses and Cheerleader style chorus - heard it all before.

Silly Radio 1 and their fetish for futuristic minimal electropop/R&B that sounds like broken records at the minute

Posted by: Steve201 3rd June 2016, 01:37 PM

I love it although it was this time last year I was loving it most and it went to no1 on my chart by october once I found out what it was called and was able to buy it.

2. Kungs & Cookin' On 3 Burners

3. Clean Bandit

Posted by: danG 3rd June 2016, 05:47 PM

I'm guessing Kungs could be the next sales #1 then, although its streaming is nowhere near good enough to challenge Drake/Justin Timbersnake officially.

Excellent to see Kungs top 2

Posted by: TheSnake 3rd June 2016, 06:56 PM

Dreadful to not see Clean bandit top 2

I must return back to EDM discussion for a minute but its relevant, don't worry, it's just to ask is that new Alan Walker song trance? A lot of people on this forum said his last song sounded like trance, and this sounds more trancey to my ears considerably. I must ask the expert DanG....

Would love it if Kungs could someone be a summer #1, really fallen in love with This Girl this week

Posted by: ElectroBoy 3rd June 2016, 08:26 PM

Same proper summer jam 👍🏼

If it continues to make leaps on streaming it may stand a chance as One Dance drops off

Posted by: RobS 3rd June 2016, 08:32 PM

Yeah I wouldn't be against Kungs being #1 either, very infectious tune

Posted by: ElectroBoy 3rd June 2016, 08:47 PM

It won't though - the pre-requisite for getting to number 1 in 2016 is being sh!te - which automatically rules It out unfortunately

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd June 2016, 09:17 PM

I can see Kungs being a top 3 hit, well hopefully anyway!

Posted by: Ryan. 3rd June 2016, 10:12 PM

I'm really surprised Jonas Blue has managed to go top 30 on iTunes on release day, I'd have expected low top 100 and then radio would decide whether it would become a hit or not. I'm pleased though as it is a good follow-up to Fast Car!

Posted by: Ethan 3rd June 2016, 10:25 PM

terrific to see jonas blue and alan walker going top40 on iTunes, hopefully strong débuts on spotify too

relieved shawn mendes is already on the slide!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 4th June 2016, 01:16 AM

I like it, but hopefully 'Gold' doing well can make way for 'Feels' (Jai Wolf Remix) to smash if Kiiara decides to give it a push. Much better than the former imo.

So happy to see Alicia finally make some progress, really hoping this can turn out to be a hit for her.

Just what we need - more Drake.

Posted by: Scene 4th June 2016, 12:59 PM

Completely agree. 'In Common' is the best (and most interesting) thing she has done in ages. Hopefully it can go top 10 - it's going to be one of my summer tunes this year.



Great news!! I was worried he was going to be left in 2013.

Also, can't Drake just delete 'One Dance' from the chart already? No way should it be a 9 week #1 but I guess this is what the streaming era does to the charts.

Posted by: BillyH 4th June 2016, 01:00 PM

This is all starting to feel suspiciously planned, as if Drake's management watched Bieber's domination last year and thought "Yep, let's do that".

Posted by: danG 4th June 2016, 01:11 PM

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 4th June 2016, 03:57 PM

Have you not noticed it for the past 8 weeks?

Posted by: Dobbo 4th June 2016, 04:10 PM

#1 for 8 weeks is one thing but I want another top 3 lockout!

Posted by: TheSnake 4th June 2016, 04:10 PM

I was hoping DJ Khaled was a funky house DJ and the song was going to be like Tom Neville's remix of hip hop group Studio B's I See Girls but after listening to the song, it isn't

Drake domination indeed



Why is that dreadful Calvin/Rihanna track still top 5. The You - ooh -oo bit does get a bit repetitive and annoying.

Posted by: Mdh 4th June 2016, 04:11 PM

I really hope the new Drake x Khaled does well - Drake really deserves another hit for us all to enjoy

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 4th June 2016, 04:34 PM

If you don't like how things are then don't tune in weekly to the chart. I used to be like a lot of you, getting excited every week for the charts but then things became stale and stagnant and I pretty much gave up. The last time I listened to the chart show was the week before Christmas last year.

Drake will be number one for more than ten weeks whether anyone likes it or not because that's how the state of the Official Chart is right now. The Official Chart will never be as good as it was 4 or more years ago ever again I think.

Posted by: Dobbo 4th June 2016, 05:26 PM

The beginning of the Shawn Mendes track sounds like Be The One fused with Don't Let Me Down. It's alright though, a lot better than Stitches but not as goodas the Summer one.

Posted by: JoeyJeppssonWall 4th June 2016, 05:27 PM

This is the wrong way round

Posted by: danG 4th June 2016, 05:29 PM

As in the Dua Lipa and The Chainsmokers songs??

Maybe this Shawn Mendes song will be more tolerable than I thought, still haven't heard it.

Posted by: John-James 4th June 2016, 06:24 PM

It sounds nothing like those songs

Still a great song though

Great to see Alicia climbing still. Hopefully she'll get good support from radio. BBC Radio 1/2 have given it some spins, so hope both of them will playlist it.

Posted by: omrimayo 5th June 2016, 08:26 AM

When now Drake's lead on Spotify is only 2K a day and Jt has still 50% lead on sales... Don't we think JT can do it this week?

Posted by: Steve201 5th June 2016, 09:42 AM

Is it on any playlists?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 5th June 2016, 09:46 AM

I was hoping “Ali in the Jungle” by the Hours would get a boost. Brilliant single which I have on CD, originally got to #113 in November 2006.

Posted by: Mdh 5th June 2016, 10:05 AM

On Apple Music and other streaming sites that count for the same, Drake has a large lead.

I love Duck pictures but clearly this is not the place for them, and yes I do geddit but the joke is wearing thin. In case anyone does not see the joke a male duck is called a Drake

Posted by: Doctor Blind 5th June 2016, 08:55 PM

Valentin Brunel (aka) Kungs was born in December 1996, have we had anyone born that late hit the top yet?

Edit- I've just seen that Martin Garrix and Lorde were also born earlier in 96 who weeks apart hit the top in 2013 (and so are 2 members of 5 Seconds of Summer). Well, there you go!

Now I feel old.

Shawn Mendes was born in August 1998! First artist younger than me to get a #1

Posted by: Doctor Blind 5th June 2016, 08:59 PM

Didn't realise he was that young - I've got clothes older than that (probably).

Posted by: Mdh 5th June 2016, 09:06 PM

I wonder who the first artist younger than me to get a number one will be? Will be really weird when it does happen, I can't imagine being older than someone at #1

Oh, I think I was younger than Gabz when she was in the charts and I'm probably younger than Bars and Melody, but nobody younger than me has ever got to the top 5

Posted by: danG 5th June 2016, 09:10 PM

You'd have to be 15 years old to be younger than both of Bars & Melody

Posted by: Mdh 5th June 2016, 09:12 PM

I'm really not on form today. Third time I've fluffed my lines in a post in the space of a few hours .

I meant older ~

Sean Kingston was the first artist younger than me to get to no.1 and it still feels weird. Shawn Mendes? I can actually recall the charts from the month he was born! #old

Posted by: Hassaan 5th June 2016, 09:38 PM

What was its iTunes peak? Its sales only peak was #15 and overall peak was #36.



Gabz was 14 when she got to #6 with Lighters, while both of Bars & Melody were 13 & 15 when they got to #5 with Hopeful. Gareth Gates was 17 and 8 months when he got to #1 with Unchained Melody.

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th June 2016, 10:28 PM

Shawn Mendes was born the month before I started secondary school.

27. Cry (feat. Take That) - Sigma

eek!

Posted by: BillyH 5th June 2016, 10:38 PM

The first person to reach #1 born in the year 2000 is almost certainly gonna happen before the end of this decade, which is all kinds of terrifying given that I started secondary school that year. Willow Smith almost did it six years ago.

(I'm another one who was born just before Sean Kingston btw - and Leon Jackson would have done it had Beautiful Girls missed #1)

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 5th June 2016, 10:46 PM

I think Willow and one of Bars and Melody may be the only 2 artists younger than me to chart top 10?

It's going to feel so weird when someone younger than me tops the chart!

Posted by: Mdh 6th June 2016, 06:51 AM

Isn't Gabz younger than you?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 6th June 2016, 07:09 AM

Nope Gabz is one and a 1/2 years older!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 6th June 2016, 01:27 PM

Hush now the song is great and perfect for the nice summer weather and certainly shits over anything that has topped the charts this year - but then actually that wouldn't be difficult

Posted by: Karma 6th June 2016, 02:08 PM

So JT is definitely not getting the #1 official spot then..despite being #1 for like 4 weeks?! Lol cant win them all 'ey! Still one of the biggest songs of the summer for sure - could be a million selller! I'm pretty sure it's going to stay top 10 for the whole of the next three months (just gna put it out there )

Posted by: Lomadz 6th June 2016, 02:45 PM

Kungs is not a number one contender this weak rough surely. Drake will probably just beat JT again which is annoying.

Posted by: Karma 6th June 2016, 02:49 PM

Yeah pretty sure that'll be the case, Kungs could make it in the next few weeks though.

If there's any chance of this being a big summer #1, then I have everything crossed for it!

Posted by: Mart!n 6th June 2016, 06:17 PM

Now Kungs need to pick up a huge lead and do well on Spotify, if they are going to overcome Drake, but I still think Drake will increase his lead as the week goes on.

Posted by: Hassaan 6th June 2016, 07:54 PM

Out of interest, what would tracks lingering in the 300s, or even the thousands, be selling?

Posted by: danG 6th June 2016, 07:58 PM

there was an experiment done on buzzjack not long ago where we got Lisa Scott Lee's 'Electric' to #1006 (and I think about 20-30 of us bought it) so I guess that gives some idea.

can't imagine a song in the 300s is selling much more than 100 copies per day.

Posted by: Steve201 6th June 2016, 08:02 PM

Drakes only on 23k in the first mids with Kungs down at 16k so drake is Def falling in overall sales so if Kungs goes top 3 in streams he should get to no1, hopefully next week!

Posted by: zenon 6th June 2016, 08:39 PM

On Digital Sales Data when you double a chart position outside the very upper reaches then the sales are less than half so for example as the number 100 record typically sells 250 copies then 120 would be enough to penetrate the top 200. For the 300s as Hassann asks then I imagine anywhere from 60-75 copies would do it and to enter the top 1500 you would only need 15 copies at the most!

I also like the idea of the experiment, something that needs to be tried again at some point.

Here's the link for the thread for the Electric campaign if you've not read it.

Ergh. That Kungs song needs to be stopped asap.

Posted by: Mdh 7th June 2016, 06:39 AM

Surely anything's better than Drake being at number one for another 7 weeks

Posted by: TheSnake 7th June 2016, 08:21 AM

Finally someone who agrees with me....

I have had enough of these pan-European tropical house hits. The only one I liked was the first one Edward Maya and Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love because that was the first and it was fresh and different at the time. But now the format is stale.

Posted by: jazzy_765 7th June 2016, 08:51 AM

Posted by: Liаm 7th June 2016, 05:54 PM

I agree, I really hate the "chilled" sort of house with these tropical guitar instrumentals, like Waves, Prayer In C, Are You With Me, this, they're so vapid and tedious.

Posted by: Mdh 7th June 2016, 06:39 PM

Good to seer Gold making good progress - a dead cert top 40 next week by the looks of it then?

And Kungs pulling away! Surely that'll be the song that gets to number one the week after next - I can see Drake getting a 9th and 10th week at the top before Kungs gets there. I just hope that Major Lazer and MO and Justin Bieber don't release to stop This Girl from getting to the top.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 7th June 2016, 06:52 PM

I don't see Drake getting a 10th week at number 1. Kungs has more momentum than JT had at any point.. and he did get very close at one stage. I expect Kungs will be at 3 this week and climb to 1 next week quite easily now.

Posted by: TheSnake 7th June 2016, 06:57 PM

Yes European popular house music is generic tropical and not great at the minute. I wonder if we left the EU would we not have to hear these songs again....

Posted by: Robot 7th June 2016, 07:03 PM

I much prefer This Girl to all of those songs because of the trumpet instrumental which gives it something extra to all of those songs which just remain "chill" from start to finish and often don't really ever pick up imo.

Posted by: Ryan. 7th June 2016, 09:44 PM

If I were Dua's record label now I'd get this put to 59p as it *could* go A-list on Radio 1 on Friday and it could go top 50 on Spotify tomorrow so it really could still turn into quite the hit.

Posted by: TheSnake 7th June 2016, 10:58 PM

Yes having grown up listening to the warmth of dance music around 2005 when a lot of dance tracks had uplifting strings and disco vocals in them and the songs were lively throughout and you didnt have to listen to long acoustic verses before you got to the actual danceable bit in the chorus, it really sounds quite depressing.

Which is why that Clean Bandit and Louisa track is a breath of fresh air.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 7th June 2016, 10:59 PM

Never seen the point of dance music you can't dance to, myself.

Ooh Kiiara climbing very quickly! I swear she was still around the 70s last time I checked (though this might have been a while ago )

Posted by: Scene 8th June 2016, 09:43 AM

I'm definitely on the anti-"slow tropical house" train. Waves especially irritates me and I just find the entire genre bland. I really miss the House renaissance of 2013 to be honest - Disclosure, Duke Dumont, Le Youth etc. That was a stellar year for chart music.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 8th June 2016, 10:18 AM

2013 felt like the best year for chart music for ages at the time... I'd certainly argue dance music isn't as good now as it was then.

Posted by: Scene 8th June 2016, 12:32 PM

It reminded me of 2003 in terms of how busy the music scene was at the time - there were a lot of major artists releasing in both years. Also, it felt like 2013 was the peak of digital downloads with the monster run of Get Lucky - La La La - Blurred Lines... I miss that year.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 8th June 2016, 04:46 PM

Miley had two number 1's that year didn't she? these days she justs smokes weed and makes a pratt of herself

The Official chart was still fun to follow then, when streaming wasn't involved and the chart was more competitive with lots of major new releases every week unlike the poo that we have now.

Yes but I still think 2005 was one of the best years for dance music, there was none of the slow stuff (apart from DJ Sammy's Why, which wasn't too bad), it was all mostly lively disco influenced stuff and dull electro hadn't taken over

2007 was one of the worst years for dance music for me, funky house died as a chart force and tech house/electro with no warmth started up like Put Your Hands Up For Detroit and The Creeps which kickstarted stuff like Rhymes, Jack, Chunky and Rinse And Repeat this decade.

2013 was OK but there was Chris Malinchak's So Good To Me, which was part of this genre And Disclosure' and Sam Smith's latch was also slow. I didn't like Le Youth's Cool but Dance With Me was good. My favourite one from that year was Breach's Everything You Never Had (We had it All).

I never liked Disclosure or Duke Dumont much, it just seemed a step down from the glorious dubstep/drum and bass boom of 2011 and 2012 to be into much more chilled, less energetic stuff like Latch or Need U (100%). Anyway Duke Dumont was responsible for tropical house with I Got U.

2015 revitalised the looped house of the mid 2000s (Philip George, Joe Stone) but it lacked the warmth and humour of the mid 2000s looped house, with just a cold distant sounding organ bassline and a beat.

Disclosure were also responsible for the similar sounding future bass we have now, like Chainsmokers - Roses, DJ Snake - Middle and Cheat Codes/ Kris Kross Amsterdam - Sex.

You know in the 'NOW' TV adverts they always say "An incredible TWELVE number ones!" or "Featuring an unbelievable NINE number ones!!"

What is it going to be for the next one? "Featuring ONE number one that wouldn't f***ing go away for 3 months!"

Posted by: -SCOTT- 8th June 2016, 08:31 PM

Actually Drake doesn't appear on NOWs any more does he? So they might not even have that one!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th June 2016, 08:33 PM

Posted by: Hadji 8th June 2016, 08:38 PM

He appeared on an MOS compilation Rapper's Delight so there's still hope. I just hope it doesn't end up like NOW 16 with no #1s. Speaking of artists who don't allow their music onto compilations, Beyoncé doesn't allow her music onto compilations but she's been appearing on them lately

Posted by: Dobbo 8th June 2016, 08:42 PM

The next Now album won't be out till late July, there's no way there won't be other #1s from now until then (maybe only 2 or 3 though!)

Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 03:04 PM

Fantastic song, it was well ahead of its time....and so has aged very well

We haven't had many rock hits this decade, this year's three official top 40 rock hits so far (Stone Roses, Disturbed, Viola Beach) has actually been the most for a while. Even in the iTunes top 40 we haven't had that many.

Indie and rock has been replaced with acoustic this decade (Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Hozier etc). Even acoustic is dying out now as a chart force. The only two indie bands that have done well with more than one song recently on the iTunes chart are The 1975 and Coldplay. Even the fantastic Walking On Cars song didn't do well, although thats because Radio 1 didn't playlist it for some reason.

It's a bit more than "vocal haters" though.

Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 05:58 PM

The Dua Lipa track is good, but the Kiiara track is an example of an artist taking things too far to try and be different.

Its a bit like that Little Swing track by AronChupa that unfortunately flopped, it has a similar beat to it.

But yes we haven't heard anything like it since this 2010 smash

Posted by: Mdh 9th June 2016, 06:49 PM

Oh my, that track there is a really good tune - it's like all elements of cheesy Eurovision pop and a kind of Klingande style beat mixed together. Really like to see something like that (like Caravan Palace) in the chart.

He's being sued for way more than that though.

Caravan Palace top 100? Even if that doesn't last (and that looks likely), that's amazing.

Every time I hear it mentioned I have to go listen to it again, it'd be a fantastic anthem to become a hit.

I am aware of this, hence why I wasn't referring to money. A million chart sales proves that regardless of anything, people like the song and I don't think its haters will really be of any importance to Ed.

Posted by: Regina 9th June 2016, 07:15 PM

It's not really anything to do with "haters" or the fact people like it though. His integrity is being called into question.

My post was responding to Liam's post, not the lawsuit itself

Oh My I was not aware of Lone Digger climbing

Posted by: Regina 9th June 2016, 07:19 PM

You're still making it seem like he won't care about being sued because the song was a success.

Posted by: JosephOdell 9th June 2016, 07:21 PM

That's not what I meant as I feel I've explained clearly but OK ~

No sign of Christie Moore Joxer goes to Stuttgart?

20. Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better

This has held up rather well since the initial plummet out of the top 10! Hopefully streaming continues to increase so it stays top 40 in week 2

69. Charlie Puth - We Don’t Talk Anymore (feat. Selena Gomez)

I hope Radio 1 get behind this, I feel like they will as they playlisted the last two singles but who knows right now. Such a great song though and my favourite off the album so I hope it's a huge hit!

Caravan Palace That needs to smash, here's hoping.

Has an awesome video too especially if you like furry stuff

Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 07:58 PM

101. Lone Digger

Well that was the end of that There is no way on earth Radio 1 will playlist this sadly Ah well at least Clean Louisa are still flying the flag in the charts for retro sounding dance music.

Finally we get the confirmed date for new Bastille single, "Good Grief", it's out in a week on the 16th

Posted by: Dobbo 9th June 2016, 10:17 PM

The only "boring" dance song around at the moment is that Calvin Harris snoozefest. The sooner than leaves the top 10 the better, though with a video presumably still impending that seems rather unlikely.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 9th June 2016, 10:53 PM

It was an odd choice to perform when they released Wonderland as a single last week

Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 11:09 PM

Yes the Calvin one isnt great You ooh ooh repeated several times is really annoying. I think that the Kungs track is worse imo though because like most tropical house it is too chilled for my tastes. The Galantis one has no redeeming features either, childish vocals, sounds like a poor version of Charli XCXs Break The Rules (which I loved) and also it is tropical house too and I have heard too much of that.

The Clean Bandit track is fantastic though, and the MK and Becky Hill one is quite good imo.

Do you have to repeat yourself SO much? I mean, seriously.
