may the stars watch over you Group: Members Posts: 679 Member No.: 14,472 Joined: 28-July 11 No Gallery Pics	Being reduced to 59p has really boosted My Kind Of Love, it's in the top 20 already. All of Emeli's singles seem to have been reduced so far IIRC, it's quite a clever strategy but seems unjust somehow.

I hope it turns out to be a grower because I just find it dull so far, I can't imagine what it'll sound like after the inevitable overplay if 'Next To Me' (which I initially liked) sounds like the oldest thing ever already. Why can't all her songs be as good as 'Heaven' 22. Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts I wish this would fall faster. The second version is down to #304 and the third out of the top 400, from both being top 120 a few days ago, which is promising - but unless this drops out of the top 40 very soon it's going to make it into the official top 40 23. Make Peace Not War - Skepta This could possibly even outpeak 'Bad Boy' now! I think this is my favourite of his singles so it's great to see it doing so well, I thought it was going to flop as no one else seems to like it (including Skepta's fanbase who seem to be annoyed at him moving away from grime even though he arguably did that ages ago). 29. Only Love - Ben Howard Looking likely to become his highest peaker for sure, maybe even a first top 40 hit Although its boost from 'Made In Chelsea' will probably wear off over the week a la 'If You Wanna'. 39. Princess of China - Coldplay & Rihanna Back in the top 40 Really hope it makes it into the official top 40 this week but it'll need to climb quite a bit more. 40. Turn to You (Mother's Day Dedication) - Justin Bieber If he'd just released this a day later (maybe even less than that) it'd never have been a top 40 hit 'Where Ma Keys Where Ma Phone' has been deleted it seems. That probably confirms what I thought then (that it was an 'illegal' release). I hope it gets properly released really soon or it'll never chart Woo for fun. overtaking Carly as well although I'm hoping for Alex Clare to get #2 this week.

It's a shame that it takes a discount to get it top 40 though. It was the same with his previous single aswell. They're such good songs aswell. Small Bump by Ed Sheeran up to #89! I heard he released a music video for it.

Skepta definitely looking set for a third top 30 hit now 'Remedy' is 59p? I suppose that explains its rapid climb in the last couple of days. Shame it's going to outpeak NBART as I think that's far better and 'Remedy' is one of his worst singles (although JBGTG and RAAI are worse - so basically I only like his songs that flopped and 'I Need You Tonight' ) On the upside that means he'll manage 7 top 40 hits out of 7 releases (as the lead artist) which isn't bad going. Now to #40. 'Small Bump' is now to #88 - there is a video for it but I haven't heard anything else about it at all, I didn't even know he was doing a fifth single until the video came out so I'm surprised at how well it's doing especially as '+' has now sold over a million. Hopefully Radio 1 will playlist it tomorrow. I think it could be a fifth/sixth top 20 hit (depending on whether Hush Little Baby gets there first) for him but probably not another top 10. It's not the best choice IMO, I think 'U.N.I.' or 'The City' would have done better.

Can't believe how well this is doing for him I love Just Be Good to Green!!! It's currently my 2nd most-played song. Maybe he isn't going to promote Small Bump as a single. He might've just randomly made a music video for an album track (like with Beez in the Trap for example).

'Oh honey... I would, but I don't want to' Group: Moderator Posts: 24,999 Member No.: 10,139 Joined: 7-December 09 User's Gallery	Small Bump is the next single, he's confirmed it. I can't see it doing anywhere near as well as the other singles, the video is much more average and although I quite like the song (certainly better than bloody Lego House) I just don't think it has hit potential really. QUOTE(B.r.É @ May 15 2012, 08:24 PM) When even Liam hates a country song you know it's awful. Rascal Flatts are possibly the worst country act ever, ew. Why couldn't he sing Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert or something (I doubt either of those random boosts would appeal to you either though )?

Lil Wayne] - Drake And without a price reduction - if he gets another 59p reduction for this like he did with 'The Motto' perhaps it could be another top 100 hit for him after all (And the title doesn't appear to be censored - it isn't on the LivePopBars link anyway).

It would be great if this could become a sleeper hit for him, I think all he needs is one of them and it would really help him to shift a fair few albums. Fingers crossed he stays top 40.

Rack City aswell has been legally downloadable for free the whole time and it managed to go top 40. I guess some people don't know they can get the songs for free, and don't bother to check just incase.
