YES Timberlake.

It helps that this one is far more accessible! We have the album next week and I think we have one more video to come. I wonder if he's saved the best/most hit worthy one for last/to coincide with the albums release?

Posted by: JosephSivan 26th January 2018, 07:45 PM

If you're talking about Proud, that came out on streaming services last week. It's just a song for an Absolut Vodka campaign in the US!

Yeh album releases always have a huge effect these days, hope it isn't too late for airplay to kick in tho!

Sigrid performed an Acoustic version of Strangers on The One Show tonight, hope it continues the momentum upwards and it makes the Top 10 this week.

Posted by: mdh 26th January 2018, 10:47 PM

it'll be top 50 in Tuesdays Spotify update at the very latest so i'd expect it could go top 10 this week

If she released an acoustic version on iTunes it could give her a decent boost in sales to get her into the Top 10

Posted by: SKOB 27th January 2018, 08:01 AM

I must say I'm very surprised that it took 9 months for Feel It Still to take off in the UK. Usually it's other way around.. that UK embraces new hits first.

Posted by: mrbrightside 27th January 2018, 10:01 AM

Really don't get the popularity of Feel It Still. So repetitive and bland

Posted by: Yorkie3 27th January 2018, 02:38 PM

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but 13 of the top 24 are currently 59p (and 6 of the top 7). Seems that's the only way to sell singles nowadays - perhaps they should make it the standard price?

Also, Feel It Still could be up to 2 soon - if it could get to #1 on iTunes it would make my year!

ooh nice to see Fake ID in the top 200, what's the cause of that?

Posted by: The Snake 27th January 2018, 06:13 PM

Jaded ft Ashnikko - Pancake in the top 200 too at #166

I am guessing for both, the reason for them appearing is the weekend effect and Radio 1 playing them last night maybe?

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 27th January 2018, 06:36 PM

Shame the worst Sigrid song is the one getting the attention

Plot Twist wouldhave done much better on Spotify

10. Rudimental - These Days (feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan Caplen)

28. Paloma Faith -Til I’m Done

Posted by: Midge 27th January 2018, 10:13 PM

I did wonder if Portugal. The Man could do a Shawn Mendes "Stitches" before Christmas... but he had something extra behind him that Portugal. The Man just won't have. Well, we'll see, but I'd guess "Feel It Still" is a bit too 'adult' for the average streaming audience.

Posted by: GTH 27th January 2018, 10:30 PM

It's a shame it has taken this long for Feel It Still to take off. The fact it has been out so long and been a consistent trickle sellar leading up to it blowing up now hasn't helped in terms of getting the best peak. If someone danced to this on strictly, it probably would have peaked much sooner. It's the sort of song that would benefit from strictly exposure with its adult contempory sound.

Posted by: Envoirment 27th January 2018, 11:38 PM

26. Paloma Faith - 'Til I'm Done

What's causing this to rise so much? Not that I'm complaining, this is my favourite single of hers from the album. Hope it can become a decent sized hit.

Posted by: Jonjo 27th January 2018, 11:39 PM

She was on Graham Norton yesterday I think!

Posted by: Midge 27th January 2018, 11:46 PM

Great to see Paloma fly up - that is a great track!

Posted by: Steve201 28th January 2018, 01:13 AM

Be interesting to see the effect on the album!

Posted by: Bjork 28th January 2018, 10:40 AM

never thought it'd see Portugal the man at #2
it's a pity there's been such a lack of synchronization between itunes and spotify
if it were on spotify's hot hits now, instead of 6 months ago, could even be a contender for #1

Posted by: SKOB 28th January 2018, 11:50 AM

Well it's impossible to synchronize when songs been an upcoming hit for 8 months.. It debuted on the US Hot 100 in July.

Posted by: lewistgreen 28th January 2018, 11:53 AM

Feel It Still never had a UK push until now though, which is silly when it went low top 40 last year and they should've capitalised on it then... but maybe the record label had other ideas for international markets.

Almost #1 combined!!

Posted by: The Snake 28th January 2018, 02:34 PM

Oh my, good tune, pity about the drop though which needs more to it (some Bastille guitars would have been good)!

Posted by: Bjork 28th January 2018, 03:46 PM

course you can, just needed a bit of payola and have it re-added to the sptify hothits list now, pure and simple

Posted by: Steve201 28th January 2018, 04:24 PM

Interesting to see Craig David reaching a new sales and chart peak with the album release, could be top 5!

Justin say something is after 5 days STILL number 15. Without any radio, promo or playlists. If only this was the single in the UK everything would have looking so different. It's doing amazingly WW.

Posted by: gavindeejay 29th January 2018, 02:49 PM

I can see this becoming a hit once it starts getting radio playlist spots.

Posted by: Jonjo 29th January 2018, 03:17 PM

It got playlisted by Radio 2 straight away. I THINK (not 100% sure) the playlist kicks in from today. So hopefully!

loving the itunes top 3 right now, I'm totally pro-streaming but have to admit this is a million times better than
the current spotify top 3

1 Sigrid 1.00
2 Bastille/Craig David 0.87 (combined)
3 Portugal 0.86

Posted by: gavindeejay 30th January 2018, 05:05 PM

It would be so much better if that was how the official chart looked!

Posted by: M4NG0 30th January 2018, 05:16 PM

Even with the BBC thing, I'm really surprised the Sigrid song is #1. Does anyone know where Plot Twist peaked for comparison?

Posted by: gavindeejay 30th January 2018, 05:20 PM

I think that and her performances on Graham Norton has helped. Plus I think the track is getting played more airplay now. I've heard it on Kiss a few times lately.

Posted by: Dart 30th January 2018, 05:55 PM

Rudimental and Jess Glynne up to 4

Posted by: omrimayo 30th January 2018, 05:58 PM

JT Just announced he's performing at the BRIT's! YAS!

Posted by: gavindeejay 30th January 2018, 06:20 PM

Hope he performs 'Say Something' rather than 'Filthy'.

Glad Fine Line seems to be picking up now - I think it actually prefer it to Finder's Keepers

Posted by: Dart 30th January 2018, 07:16 PM

Rudimental should be #1 in a couple of days...

Posted by: omrimayo 30th January 2018, 07:43 PM

Must!!!

Posted by: Bré 30th January 2018, 07:59 PM

The new Rudimental song sounded fairly mediocre on first listen to me, just seems like a weaker version of 'Same Love' or something. Looks like Jess Glynne is still relevant though. x

Posted by: Avicii 30th January 2018, 08:14 PM

I can't wait for her to slay with her own material later this year, I think she'll have a big second era.

Posted by: BridgeCow 30th January 2018, 08:15 PM

The new Rudimental song is such a tune, so here for it being number 1 (well on iTunes at least )

Posted by: Steve201 30th January 2018, 09:33 PM

Yeh it's a really good song - the performance on SLFN before Xmas helped establish it in the iTunes top 50 too!

Posted by: Midge 30th January 2018, 09:58 PM

The Rudimental/Jess Glynne/Macklemore/Dan Caplen collab is excellent, I think, and would be a very welcome number 1. It's a collab of some of the 2010s stars really (plus a newbie) - between them they've had EIGHT number 1s with "Feel The Love", "Waiting All Night", "Rather Be", "My Love", "Hold My Hand", "Not Letting Go", "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself", "Thrift Shop".

Posted by: Dart 30th January 2018, 10:00 PM

Rudimental Jess Glynne almost at #3!

Posted by: Jonjo 30th January 2018, 10:01 PM

Justin still at #15 with 'Say Something' is great to see!

Posted by: timjimlee 30th January 2018, 10:09 PM

I agree, I think the quality of the song has been a bit underestimated by some (may be because it is not a style of music that is current) and also I give credit to those behind her, she performed on The One Show this week which kept the momentum going, I wouldn't be surprised if they have more Promo lined up next week. Also I have heard it played on Capital which can only bode well for long term success as they have a tendency to play songs for months.

Posted by: Frooot 31st January 2018, 02:35 PM

Why has ‘These Days’ increased so much?

Posted by: 777666jason 31st January 2018, 02:50 PM

It's the Jess Glynne effect it's just slow to kick in until people realised

Posted by: Jonjo 31st January 2018, 04:50 PM

That Rudimental song is honestly the most bland thing they have put out to date. So, SO disappointed. Especially considering I love Macklemore!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 31st January 2018, 05:25 PM

I thought to myself when I heard 'These Days' the other day "That really sounds like a number one". I think it's gonna happen in about 2 weeks.

Posted by: Bjork 31st January 2018, 05:33 PM

hate it when bands do a collab and they lose all their personality
These Days is 100% Macklemore 0% Rudimental

Posted by: JosephSivan 31st January 2018, 05:47 PM

I think Jess and Dan's vocal contributions might have something to say about that

Posted by: mdh 31st January 2018, 05:50 PM

'These Days' sounds like it'll be one of the biggest songs of the year to me.

Posted by: Dart 31st January 2018, 05:57 PM

That’ll be 6 number ones for Jess Glynne!

Posted by: Midge 31st January 2018, 06:00 PM

And 9 between Rudimental, Jess Glynne and Macklemore!

Posted by: Esmerelda 31st January 2018, 06:04 PM

Everything Jess Glynne touches turns to vanilla scented Gold.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 31st January 2018, 06:07 PM

To be fair, most of Rudimental's output since 'Waiting All Night' has been fairly forgettable. This is one of the better ones.

100. Bebe Rexha ft. Florida Georgia Line - Meant To Be

She's coming

Posted by: Dart 31st January 2018, 06:35 PM

No idea why Meant To Be hasn’t been pushed in the UK... it’s huge over in the US.

Posted by: danG 31st January 2018, 06:43 PM

Jess Glynne just casually showing us why she's the real queen of music. So glad this looks set to be a hit and possibly bigger than the limp 'Sun Comes Up'.

Posted by: JosephSivan 31st January 2018, 06:52 PM

The problem is that it's vaguely country sounding. Immediately blacklisted from commercial stations in the UK :')

Posted by: Dart 1st February 2018, 01:25 PM

Big 8% increase for Rudimental

Posted by: Dart 1st February 2018, 01:31 PM

Kojo Funds x RAYE tomorrow also

Posted by: danG 1st February 2018, 02:15 PM

I expect that will be big, Kojo Funds seems to be one of those rappers who's been big but not in the charts yet (excluding his Finders Keepers feature). Could even debut top 40.

Oh my! hype! Her 'You Keep Me Hanging On' cover is amazing (she should collab with Initial Talk actually as the production is similar to his Dua Lipa 80s remix), as is 'The Second Time'. Never really liked 'Kids in America' though, rather immature and annoying song imo.

Posted by: Midge 1st February 2018, 02:23 PM

"Kids In America" is an incredible New Wave classic!

Posted by: ML Hammer95 1st February 2018, 02:24 PM

Which of course some people disagree, thinking an act can't be big if they're not in the charts.

Posted by: M4NG0 1st February 2018, 02:29 PM

Yeah I get what you mean about 'Kids In America'. However 'You Meep Me Hangin' On', 'You Came', 'Never Trust A Stranger', 'Four Letter Word' and 'Love Is Holy' are all 80s/90s classics! Not holding out much hope for her comeback being any good though.

Posted by: The Snake 1st February 2018, 02:40 PM

.

I suppose its a fun enough song, maybe I have judged it too harshly.

I must check out her early stuff, but I will probably still think her cover of 'You Keep Me Hanging On' is my favourite from her, what a big sounding dance tune that is, amazing production too!



Would be great if she collabed with Initial Talk who made that Dua Lipa 80s remix! I hope her comeback is upbeat synthpop though!

Yep never Trust A Stranger is very good too, especially that chorus!

I think its time for a Kim Wilde singles rate on the retro forum soon tbh!

"Kids In America" is one of the many songs that reminds me of playing GTA: Vice City as a kid, my favourite game of all time The soundtrack on that was just immense and introduced me to the 80s.

for a minute I thought Kim passed away, seeing all this talk about Kim Wilde, I didn't see the previous page, she was my crush in the 80s, I grew up listening to her music, Love Blonde You Came Kids In America is my fave. Also Chequered Love The Second Time, You Keep Me Hangin' On, the list is endless. Must search her greatest hits album

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 1st February 2018, 04:00 PM

'Cambodia' is one I've regularly gone back to over the years.

I don't know a lot of her discography though. Her finest moment was her rendition of 'Kids In America' when she was on the tube.

Posted by: Mart!n 1st February 2018, 04:12 PM

I also remember when One Direction murdered Kids in America on the X Factor

Cascada version >>>>

Posted by: Bjork 1st February 2018, 05:09 PM

my fav kim wilde era is 86-88, her cover of You Keep me Hanging on, Another Stef,
You Came and Never Trust a Stranger

Posted by: Hadji 1st February 2018, 05:41 PM

Some of her good ones include “You Came” and “The Second Time” I met her back in 2004 when she came to Telford

Posted by: Chez Wombat 1st February 2018, 06:06 PM

Kids in America is one of the greatest songs of the 80s

Posted by: Dart 1st February 2018, 07:53 PM

Rudimental pushing Sigrid down to 0.68!!

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 1st February 2018, 07:57 PM

Nothing will be better than the Varioud Artists cover of Keep Me Hangin On though

I have a question - what was the song that dethroned Stan after just 1 week? As that seemed like a MASSIVE song att

Posted by: gavindeejay 1st February 2018, 08:04 PM

If you mean Eminem’s ‘Stan’ then it was Bob The Builder ‘Can We Fix It?’

Posted by: 777666jason 1st February 2018, 08:37 PM

So another massive instant classic then

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 1st February 2018, 09:34 PM

Oh of course!! Surprised I forgot that tbh. That was an EVEN BIGGER classic!! And will forever be thanked for stopping CorporateMusicLife from another cover at no.1!

Posted by: The Snake 1st February 2018, 09:40 PM

You Came is erring a bit too much on the Stock Aitken Waterman side of 80s pop music but it is alright!



Haven't heard it but the production in Kim's version (produced by her brother actually) can't really be beaten imo. Such a big sounding dance tune!

Posted by: ElectroTroye 1st February 2018, 10:50 PM

42. Kylie - Dancing
44. George Ezra - Paradise

These two are holding up well really

Posted by: BridgeCow 1st February 2018, 11:03 PM

Surprised at Ezra, really doesn't sound commercial at all and I haven't seen it around anywhere either

Posted by: M4NG0 1st February 2018, 11:31 PM

All this talk of Kim Wilde and I'm surprised no one's mentioned any of her early 90s stuff. 'Love Is Holy' and 'Heart Over Mind' were pop classics, and her cover of 'If I Can't Have You' was cheesy but pretty decent too. I'm actually intrigued now to hear what her new single's going to sound like.

Posted by: Midge 1st February 2018, 11:33 PM

Completely disagree about it not sounding commercial - it sounds like he's really pushed a commercial sound on both "Don't Matter Now" and particularly "Paradise" to me!
