AlunaGeorge - White Noise bkk2H3Ztrfk UK chart peak: #2 (Platinum) Correct: Dan,vibe, Dircadirca, TS031, Mack, Yorkie3, Theo., Dalekturret, Bjork, HarryEzra, Dexton, Chez Wombat, Zarate, Dobbo, chrissmith276, CianS, LewisGT, Jade, Rush, Ultraviolence, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, gavindeejay, Bré Incorrect: Sarah (Clean Bandit) First up is a 2013 hit from Disclosure, featuring AlunaGeorge. An electronic track with garage and deep house influences, this became both acts' highest peaking single, peaking at #2 and going platinum! A lot of you remember this absolute banger's distinctive bassline *.*
June 11, 20188 yr Great start *.* I was so close to putting that one as the most guessed song for the relevant bonus question but changed it, so the one I did put to have a full house please :lol:
June 11, 20188 yr Put that as the full house as gathered everyone who entered would have at least listened to the first song & some might have given up half way :lol:
June 11, 20188 yr White Noise is amazing, the second Disclosure song I heard (after Confess To Me) and it really is great! Didn't realise it got that high up in the charts though :o
June 11, 20188 yr Author 02 Childish Gambino - RedBone Kp7eSUU9oy8 UK chart peak: #51 (Gold) Correct: Dan, vibe, Dircadirca, TS031, Dalekturret, Dexton, Zarate, chrissmith276, CianS, LewisGT, Jade, Rush, Riser Incorrect: Bjork (Imagine Dragons) Dobbo (Backstreet Boys - Backstreet’s Back) Kasabian (PeteFromLeeds) Next up is a low peaking but fairly high selling track from Childish Gambino, who had somewhat of a sleeper hit in 2017 due to its exposure as a meme in which it was remixed various ways such as being sung by Kermit the frog, being heard from the bathroom in a party and being replaced with bits of All Star by Smash Mouth *_* This is such a fab song, showing a totally different side to him than his rap focused previous albums, with a psychedelic soul sound that harks back to the 70s and legends such as Prince, it has such a timeless classic feel as does the whole album :wub:
June 11, 20188 yr Can never remember how that song goes but damn at the double whammy of that probably being the lowest peaker as well.
June 11, 20188 yr Yeah don't think I've ever heard Redbone in full! It wasn't something that was in the Top 40 or popular with my European chart friends at the time.
June 11, 20188 yr I got 21 of these on first listen and 'Redbone' was one of the 4 I wasn't sure of! Thankfully the memes came flooding back on second listen and I remembered that you stanned Childish Gambino, was so happy when I double-checked and realised it was right :lol:
June 11, 20188 yr Author 03 Pendulum - Propane Nightmares 04QpInkz9so UK chart peak: #9 (Silver) Correct: Dan, Dircadirca, TS031, Mack, Yorkie3, Theo., Dalekturret, Bjork, HarryEzra, Dexton, Chez Wombat, Zarate, Dobbo, chrissmith276, CianS, LewisGT, Jade, Rush, Ultraviolence, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, Bré Half: Gavindeejay (Pendulum - Granite) Actually very surprised at how many people got this :o An electronic rock leaning drum and bass track, Propane Nightmares was released in 2008 and was their biggest hit until Watercolour outdid it in 2010. The bit I chose was quite distinctive as it's the most "banging" bit for want of a better word, when the whole track hits you and it's SUCH a moment *.*
June 11, 20188 yr The clip you chose for that song is indeed pretty banging *.* great inclusion, I was recently reminded of 'Propane Nightmares' at one of those Now plug.dj sessions and it still sounds phenomenal :wub:
June 11, 20188 yr Surprised at how many people got this! I don't think I've heard this in about 5 years, had to reach into the archives of my memory for that one ;)
June 11, 20188 yr Author 04 Beyonce - Halo bnVUHWCynig UK chart peak: #4 (2x Platinum) Correct: Dan,vibe, Dircadirca, TS031, Mack, Yorkie3, Theo., Dalekturret, Bjork, HarryEzra, Dexton, Chez Wombat, Zarate, Dobbo, chrissmith276, CianS, LewisGT, Jade, Rush, 777666jason, Ultraviolence, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, gavindeejay, Bré, Sarah Of course queen B gets a fab turnout of guesses with one of her biggest and most recognisable hits! An angelic sounding song with soul and gospel influences, that thumping slow beat is so recognisable so it was always going to be one of the easiest to get of this bunch. It packs an emotional punch that a lot of Beyonce songs don't and rightfully sold a lot and peaked high - but did it sell more than any other song in this? :o
June 11, 20188 yr Oh crap, I thought #2 sounded a bit like 'Redbone' but I thought that would have been wrong for some reason so I didn't put it down... :lol: (should have trusted that instinct given that it's you hosting lmao). It's ok tho, I'm sure that 1 extra point wouldn't have made a difference x I was just listening to 'Propane Nightmares' yesterday to celebrate it qualifying in ROTD lmao so that was good timing. Would have got it anyway tho. What a classique <3
June 11, 20188 yr I am not keen on the 'Sasha Fierce' era on the whole but 'Halo' and 'Sweet Dreams' are its saving graces, so a good choice from that period.
