August 4, 201115 yr Nothing particularly interesting today but good to see Swede back up 2 :D Where exactly has Someone Like You climbed to? Edited August 4, 201115 yr by Bré
August 4, 201115 yr Nothing particularly interesting today but good to see Swede back up 2 :D Where exactly has Someone Like You climbed to? Up 2 from Sunday
August 4, 201115 yr Up 2 from Sunday I could see it climbing one or two more places by Sunday. It's at #28 on iTunes currently. 'Otis' is #30 and has been top 40 all week, I'm surprised it's not top 40 in the mids. Must be the Now! 79 effect I guess? Edited August 4, 201115 yr by Bré
August 4, 201115 yr Wouldn't Cher's #1 be the lowest #1 single this year by a song that goes #1 in its first time? Eh?
August 4, 201115 yr Eh? First time #1 as in, the songs first week at #1 and the lowest sales for a song that goes #1 on its first time there -_- I know it's confusing :lol:
August 4, 201115 yr I just had a thought - are Rizzle Kicks the first UK rap act to go top 10 (or even chart at all) who are *not* from London? No others immediately spring to mind :o Ed Sheeran (Suffolk) is a rapper sometimes I suppose but his only top 10 so far is decidedly not rap - You Need Me, I Don't Need You is a bit though.

August 4, 201115 yr To be fair, I imagine it would be quite difficult to pursue a rap career if you don't live in London really. :lol:

No others immediately spring to mind :o Ed Sheeran (Suffolk) is a rapper sometimes I suppose but his only top 10 so far is decidedly not rap - You Need Me, I Don't Need You is a bit though. How about the first solo rap record to reach the Top 10 (and yes, this it is a little bit of a push calling it a rap record). The artist (who I won't name as it may be fun for some to guess who it was!) was from Merseyside but was heavily associated with London.
August 4, 201115 yr I guess Goldie Lookin' Chain would also qualify? Ah, yes, that would be one. I was thinking Rizzle Kicks couldn't be the first :P
August 5, 201115 yr First time #1 as in, the songs first week at #1 and the lowest sales for a song that goes #1 on its first time there -_- I know it's confusing :lol: Lowest first week so far this year 71,309 Pitbull feat. Ne’Yo, Afrojack & Nayer Give Me Everything She;s sold 30000 first day, so about 90-100K this week. not the lowest by a long way. I just heard this song, why the hate?, its not that bad and I usually dislike most singles chart music these days. Did she commit some crime or something?, what's the 'controversial bit?..I dont watch x factor, but can only find reports of her being a bit 'stroppy',( like shes the only pop act ever to be stroppy. )
August 5, 201115 yr I can see Cher doing about 65-70 this week.... The song has stopped selling so I would say 30k day 1, 10k day 2, 6k day 3, 6k day 4, 5k day 5, 7k day 6
August 5, 201115 yr To be fair, I imagine it would be quite difficult to pursue a rap career if you don't live in London really. :lol: Without making generalisations, I take it a lot of young people in some of the poorer boroughs of London will probably seek a rap career as a way to make money due to the axing of education allowances, and the high unemployment rate. This is why there is a high turnover of rappers in London and a lot come from Hackney and Peckham.
