Is that iTunes top 3 possibly the worst iTunes top 3 in the history of iTunes top 3's?

#Selfie is a monster hit and a bop and that cannot be denied!

I've (controversially) mentioned before that my enjoyment of Chainsmokers songs is completely the inverse to their chart peaks. Roses (the lowest peaking) is a great track in its own right, #Selfie (second lowest) tons of fun in a nightmarish sort of way - the backing track coupled with the demented vocals always sounded wonderfully claustrophobic to me, really giving you the feeling of being in some mad club with irritating revellers downing shots and taking selfies. The main 'character' is meant to be a bit horrifying in a what-the-hell-have-we-become sort of way.
The other two hits are just really dull generic pop tracks, neither with the odd beauty of Roses or the pleasingly chaotic madness of Selfie. |

QUOTE(honeyG @ Oct 12 2016, 04:20 PM) Credits are starting to look mightily long then, perhaps we should give ourselves a collective group name? Yes we need to spam genre names in it to get those youtube views so it becomes a hit ... The EDM, Tropical House, Future Bass and Progressive House Band perhaps.The Internet Is Here up to number 4...sounds like a novelty song from the 80s. |

The other two hits are just really dull generic pop tracks, neither with the odd beauty of Roses or the pleasingly chaotic madness of Selfie. Selfie is intended to be a social commentary song. I really like it (along with the similarly named Nina Nesbitt song too). Don't Let Me Down is great apart from the really annoying drop. The drop in Closer is dreadful, it sounds like a kids' toy made that sound. What is up with that Weeknd song, DAFT PUNK are supposed to be on it, I can't hear it, it just sounds like a generic PBR&B song and is nowhere near as good as the epic The Hills This post has been edited by TheSnake: 13th October 2016, 01:13 PM |

QUOTE(Tombo @ Oct 12 2016, 07:24 PM) That Dan & Phil song is awful. I don't get why charity songs are so awful. Yes, the causes are GREAT but the quality of the music is often awful. There are exceptions like Girls Aloud vs Sugababes, One Direction - One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks), Little Mix - Word Up, Amarillo, 500 Miles, Islands in the Stream etc Most of those are awful too, except 'Amarillo', which doesn't really count because it wasn't recorded as a charity song. |

Agreed - crikey '500 Miles' and 'Islands In The Stream' are embarrassingly awful covers, that was more or less the point you really started to think "these have gotten really bad". |

They are both hilarious and have great videos. The added spoken lyrics to 500 Miles are funny too such as "when I come." Islands in the Stream was also fab! The worst ones are the military wives and Gareth Malone ones. They send me right to sleep. |
