January 17, 201016 yr Author 23 (from 35) Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) [D] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697465712.JPG Chart Run: 52-48-xx-35-23 [4 wks] Format: download only track Precocious R&B vocalist/pianist Alicia Keys was hand-picked by Clive Davis as one of the flagship artists for his post-Arista label, J Records. No doubt he was as impressed by her multitude of skills (Keys took a large role in the writing, arranging, and production of her debut album) as by her music, which mates contemporary hip-hop accoutrements to an old-school soul sensibility a la Jill Scott or D'Angelo. Only 20 years old at the time of the album's release, Keys already seemed poised for a major career built upon her soulful voice and classically trained piano chops. While hip-hop played a much bigger role on her second effort, 2003's THE DIARY OF ALICIA KEYS, it was a smash nonetheless, and subsequent recordings have further pushed the boundaries of R&B - HMV Video here (live): Chart history (Year peak title): 2001 03 Fallin' 2002 37 Brotha Part II (Angie Stone Featuring Alicia Keys And Eve) 2002 18 A Woman's Worth 2002 06 Gangsta Lovin' (Eve Featuring Alicia Keys) 2002 24 Girlfriend 2003 19 You Don't Know My Name 2004 18 If I Ain't Got You 2006 62 Ghetto Story (Cham Featuring Alicia Keys) 2007 06 No One 2008 53 Like You'll Never See Me Again 2008 09 Another Way To Die (Alicia Keys And Jack White) 2009 02 Empire State Of Mind (Jay-Z feat.

January 17, 201016 yr He doesn't need to skip ANY tracks though! If he cut out all that shyte about Michael Buble, reading out pointless texts etc; he could easily play all 40 True but the show wouldn't be appealing to general public without a presenter's comments, jokes etc. The show is not only for chart geeks. ;) *Waking up after Alicia's wining*
January 17, 201016 yr What exactly do you like atm? Yet you like Glee? Sorry, I just find that strange. Well if you like the dullest rock band on the planet who make Coldplay seem as adventourous as Animal Collective, then good luck to you. But I personally hate dull muzak, whether it is recorded by Westlife, Nickleback, OneRepublic or the ever changing Simon Cowell cash cow to be dropped into obscurity two years later. As for Glee ..... they are Broadway stars (so they have a decent pair of lungs on them) and make superior cover versions to anything a Simon Cowell act has ever managed.
January 17, 201016 yr I love Alicia's version of this! It's much better than the original. Alicia''s version is the original, Jay Z cover it :unsure:

January 17, 201016 yr What exactly do you like atm? Good question, most of what's around at the moment is pretty horrific... such as this 'Morning After Dark' song I wish would go away.
January 17, 201016 yr As for Glee ..... they are Broadway stars (so they have a decent pair of lungs on them) and make superior cover versions to anything a Simon Cowell act has ever managed. Well that goes without saying... One Republic aren't dull though, don't know why you think they are. And Nickelback?? Dull?? Nope.
January 17, 201016 yr Hi guys, Sorry I miss the chart this week, I have a bad hungover. Ican't even see the screen clearly :lol:
