It's on Radio 2's A list, so it's getting airplay. Sounds great on the radio -- much better than the Jay-Z arrangement. I expect a big rise on the Airplay Chart.

:o Is it? :wub: OK I take that back. Pleased it's getting some sort of airplay then :D

No? LOL. How could it be 'friendlier', that makes no sense. :P It's certainly the better version though.

Has iTunes frozen? :unsure: Nothing seems to be moving? :( Owl City should be in top 3 by now. <_<

Fireflies is a good song but it is not the best song on Ocean Eyes by a long shot.It is just far better than Replay and Riveside.X-factor singers tend to sell a large number of physical copies but I really hope Alex has a large enough fanbase that they will be buying and downloading frantically on the 18th to get her to No 1 as they did with Badboys.She has great promo and really puts in good live performances.

Can someone please tell me why this Fireflies song is so hyped? It's so dull, can anyone tell me?

Got to #1 on US iTunes then #1 on Billboard Hot 100.

Yes, indeed, and the Australian chart if I'm not mistaken. It's still at no.1 down there as well...I don't think that should get it so much hype, we are a different country after all...

Because people like $h!t. :)

I found the 'Fireflies' song dull at first tbh. Though, I kept on listening on it, I'm getting the fuss now. :lol:

 

I think the hype is reaching here by the power of the Intarwebz. Like what happened to Ke$ha, GaGa, etc.

I am becoming more and more worried that this is the case with the British public :(

At least Lady Gaga is actually great, Kesha is ok, Fireflies is actually quite dull, I mean it's tolerable, but it is very dull.

Except he has "One Hit Wonder" written all over him. :lol: His stuff is alright at best, 'Fireflies' is quite a dull song, but it still keeps drawing me in. He'll be this years Sam Sparro.

Well I guess the early release of Fireflies wasn't a good decision after all. It's still stuck at #17. -_-

Haven't you heard Vanilla Twilight by him. The song is amazing and way better than Fireflies (though I love Fireflies). :wub: , THAT'S FOR SURE! ^_^

I can't stand his voice :lol:

He has a very high voice, doesn't he :lol:

Yep I have. But still, it doesn't excite me. His whole album blends into one and it's hard to memorise each track individually... Not that it's a bad album, it's just really hard to get into... there are a couple of tracks I really like though, such as: 'Umbrella Beach', 'The Saltwater Room' & the remix of 'Hello Seattle'

It's the whiny nature of it I can't stand :lol:

 

 

I haven't even managed to listen to it the whole way through it is that boring.

 

Can someone explain the mess with the release of Keshas album why has it been released everywhere apart from the UK. Do they not think people are going to illegally download it or buy it on the net before April.
