20 :up: (from 23) Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart [D]

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/B285977PMI.JPG

 

Chart Run: 71-xx(11 wks)-63-31-23-20 [5 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

Well that wasted 20 minutes of my life.

Just what I was thinking! :lol:

we should all petition radio 1 to keep the charts as just the charts, and all chat shows to be shoved during dance anthems, cause thats crap

That hasn't been on Radio 1 for like 3 years now, noob

I'm really annoyed Try Sleeping... is not making huge progress. :(

 

I think it's a combination of too many people having the album and the fact the video might have been released too early. However it'll probably be top 15 eventually.

It never was, listen to it, its an album track, this isnt a single really, it was never going to do incredibly well, i think top 20 is good for this song tbh.

It should continue to sell the album though.

At least it wasn't blue. ;)

You fell for it too did you? :lol:

i have an idea.

 

why dont they put all the competitions on the R1 website, then the winner can be announced in 5 seconds and then get on with the show

 

also all the waffling online too. maybe if R1 had a red button, if u want the waffle press red.

and a blue one to exterminate him...

Will the The Platinum Collection from Alicia Keys be able to chart? I hope it has
Just because TSWABH isn't doing as well as her other singles this era, it is doing as well as most of her other back catalogue and i'm sure it can peak in the top 15 at some point.
