It's very rare that I like a song that sells really well in the UK or, especially, US but Rolling In The Deep really is a fantastic song. It's easily one of my favourite songs of the year and I really wish it had made #1 here too.

ROlling In the Deep is one of my least favourite tracks off 21, I don't understand the hype :unsure:

Jessie J feat. B.o.B. - Price Tag

Selling 84,000+ in it's first week, this excellent collaboration held at #1 for an unexpected 2 weeks and then stayed at #2 for a further 4 weeks. The current 2nd best selling single of the year so far and well deserved too.

 

Chart run: 1-1-2-2-2-2-4-5-7-10-12-13-16-24-32-30-32-24-31-35-36-37-40-40-40-53-45-49-49-54-61-63-73-72-70-65-69R (37 wks)

I only recently got into Price Tag (the solo version) no idea how it passed me by, its really good.

Love 'Whats my Name now but at the time couldnt understand why it climbed all the way to no1...peaked in my chart around April lol!

Probably the X Factor 3 weeks before - it was waiting to pounce when Matt Cardle's sales dropped off.
