Crap cover song at #1, especially when the fabulous original never got there.

 

quite agree. the original and the remix from 06 are so much better :wub:

Surely Candi Staton's original is going to get a boost from this too though?

I can't believe the new facebook campaign is actually working.

 

There is a lot of different campaigns:

Thank god for Sidney Sampson!! :teresa:

:o Florence, why she is number 1?

FLORENCE IS NUMBER 1! I can't believe it, the campaign actually worked and who would have thought it would work.:o I'm so pleased. Go Florence! :o :w00t: :w00t: :yahoo: :banana: :cheer: :cheer: :dancing: :wave: :spin:

:o Florence, why she is number 1?

 

Has been on about 10 different adverts on BBC 1 over the last couple of days, airplay has risen considerably, it was played on the final episode of Gaven & Stacey and she performed on Jools Hollands Hotanany and TOTP new year special on New Years Eve. Facebook has a couple of groups of 'Get Florence to Number 1' which is now rising considerably in members. Also it has been played in every shop I have been in the last week for some reason. I am starting to think it is haunting me, mabye loads of people are starting to have the same thing. :lol:

I don't think it was the campaign. I think it was more down to the fact that she performed it on TOTP New Years Eve (Which was repeted today wasn't it? :unsure:) & it was performed on New Years Day on Jools Holland's Hootenany thing + it's all over BBC at the moment, like the above poster stated.

Can't believe that the campaign actually worked. Rubbish cover of a good song...rubbish.

Yeah, it was nothing to do with any campaign, that was just coincidental.

it was played on the final episode of Gaven & Stacey

:o Was it?! Another reason to hate that abysmal show! :lol:

Are you sure??? If so, then ok fair enough, good on Florence, but if it was because of the campaign then it's abysmal.

But I think it could be too little too late for Flo. Should get top 10 though :)

 

Someone mention Sidney Sampson? Oh God, please don't let him get to #1 next week :puke2:

It's like this: the campaign can't have harmed any, but it mysteriously started to have a lot more success straight after the same song that it was championing got a lot of high-profile TV appearances and radio plays...

I think the official next week will be as follows:

1. Sidney Sampson

2. IYAZ

3. Flo + Machine

4. Lady Gaga

5. BEP.

No way, now that it's up there Florence is going to get the number 1 next week.

 

(edit: is my guess...)

Yeah, I guess, I heard it was on the radio, airplay and adverts etc. a lot, but still it won't reach no.1 anyway

 

Glad Sidney Samson is no.1, WUV THAT SONG, that Iyaz song ain't too bad either..so good top 2 IMO :dance:
