15 :ne: Take That - Love Love [D]

 

http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r2000/018/Music/dc/86/c9/mzi.fgyumjcz.100x100-75.jpg

 

Chart Run: 15 [1 wk]

 

Release date: 11-05-2011

Format: download only track

Label: Polydor

 

Every decade has a teenybopper band that takes the charts by storm, and the early 1990s saw Take That picking up in the U.K. where '80s American teen stars New Kids On The Block left off. Led by songwriter and lead vocalist Gary Barlow, Take That hit it big with a mixture of dance-pop and heart-tugging ballads. After Robbie Williams's departure in 1995, the group held on long enough to release a greatest-hits package before calling it quits. Take That, minus Williams, re-united in 2006 for an unlikely but triumphant return to the centre stage with hit singles and albums, multiple music award gongs, as well as critical reappraisal. TT's 2009 The Circus Live tour became the fastest-selling in UK history. - HMV

Well if you let their last hit, well here's their follow up

^ Why is Runaway in Inna's discography? :unsure: And didn't it peak at #11?

 

It's obviously meant to be Hot. Just a silly error :P

 

Could this be the first time ever there are 2 Romanian artists in the top 20 at the same time? It's not exactly a prolific nationality in terms of UK hits.

This is good tune from Yasmin. especially the hook where someone says the title of the tune

There are also two songs by Romanian artists next to each other. How often have there been two songs by different artists of the same nationality (apart from the obvious British, Irish and American) next to each other?

 

I was just about to mention that :lol:. It is very unusual :o.

 

It is weird to think that American and British artists songs are common in European charts but we almost never have any of their artists in our charts.

Chart Run: 6 [1 wk]

 

Format: download only track

Label: Interscope

 

Lady GaGa is a dance-pop singer from New York City. Born Stefani Germanotta in Yonkers in 1986, she attended the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU while performing at open-mic nights. A collaboration with rapper/producer Akon led to her signing with Interscope Records, which released her debut album THE FAME in October 2008. She scored a number one hit and a Grammy nomination with "Just Dance," which topped the charts in several other countries, but The Fame truly exploded in 2009 thanks to the single "Poker Face." By 2010, Gaga was one of the biggest stars in the world, aided by her new EP The Fame Monster and its single "Bad Romance." - HMV

I like this tune, reminds a lot of Donna Summer's big records in the late 70s

It was all done very quickly this week, we didn't have time to check for errors... thanks anyway :lol:
Oh, they didn't "rip off" classics. It's credited sampling. They paid for them. And it's not really "cheeky", since everybody knows the samples. The songs they sample in both cases are extremely well-known. Even like 5 year-old kids know On the Floor samples Lambada. :lol:

 

For the 999th time, it doesn't sample Lambada. They have merely copied a short note sequence.

Which is called a sample. They paid to use it, it's not stealing.

It definitely does sample Lambada. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to use sampling. Many (infact, probably most) of my favourite songs use sampling of some sort! :D

 

You might be thinking of sampling as when a producer gets another song, cuts a bit out of it and puts it on loop in another song. That is sampling (the way they used to do it in the old days :lol:), but sampling also covers using lyrics from another song, using an instruments from another song (we're talking synthesized instruments obviously), and so on.

No, that's copying or covering or re-interpreting. It's NOT sampling. Not that's there anything inherently wrong with it when it is authorised of course. Just me being pedantic. And it doesn't just cover synthesid instruments - The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" sampled live strings from a Rolling Stones track (in an unauthorised manner) which cost them more than the royalties they earned from the song

One of my favourite songs from last year actually "samples" (i.e. copies, covers, re-interprets :lol:) Bittersweet Symphony. It was originally going to "sample" one of the melodies from the song, but they weren't allowed to use it in the end (although a demo version including the full sample leaked onto the Internet). They managed to keep the same chord progression for the song though.
