whats rude about it?

 

I was merely pointing out the reason I didn't think it needed to be on each individual chart history - its a discussion point... which is after all the purpose of a forum

 

Yes, but they've explained the reason why they credit it, so why can't you move on? :unsure:

Everytime I hear Gotye I think of Jean Paul Gaultier. It looks like it should be pronounced Gotya!
Enter Shikari only #4, like The Maccabees last week. Damn. Anyone but Bruno for #1 then please :P
Everytime I hear Gotye I think of Jean Paul Gaultier. It looks like it should be pronounced Gotya!

 

I think 'Gotye' is intended to be an alternate spelling of 'Gaultier'.

Well Rich, you were right, this is a massive grower :P :wub:

 

It's pretty much the least instant song ever but eventually becomes absolutely brilliant, just takes a while to work its charms as different parts of the song begin to worm their way into your consciousness. Pretty much everyone I know has said the same thing.

HA, the highest new entry peaks at #4 again :lol:

Meh, I knew Enter Shikari wouldn't hold on. At least they didn't end stalling at No.2 though :)

 

 

Oh for god's sake, not again. How the hell did this slip to #4? :(

 

Ikr, it's very strange how two highly acclaimed albums from two highly acclaimed bands in two weeks start the week very high then fall to #4 by the end of the week! :o :lol:

Enter Shikari will drop so bad.

 

Coldplay at #3 on Album Chart :wub:

Turning Tables (Live)

 

'21' is the second album from singer-songwriter Adele, and like her first record, 2008's '19', it is named after the age Adele was when she wrote the album. Most of '21' was produced by Rick Rubin, who has worked with some of the biggest acts of the last 20 years, and Florence & The Machine producer Paul Epworth. Lyrically the album reflects Adele's increased maturity since '19', although it explores many of the same themes.

Paradise

 

Coldplay began working on Mylo Xyloto in 2009, while the band was still in the midst of its multi-year tour in support of Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Recording sessions stretched from 2009 to 2011, with Brian Eno collaborating with the band on several songs and R&B singer Rihanna lending her vocals to “Princes of China.” Markus Dravs, Daniel Green, and Rik Simpson all shared production credits, too, resulting in a diverse album inspired by industrial rock and electro-pop. Coldplay began debuting the new tracks as early as May 2011, with “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall” kicking off a string of anthemic singles.

Arguing With Thermometers

 

 

"Don't be fooled into thinking that a small group of friends cannot change the world," Rou Reynolds' emphatically cries on the anthemic, electro-rock of "Pack of Thieves." It's a mission statement which perfectly summarizes the revolutionary intentions of St Albans' four-piece Enter Shikari on their third studio album, A Flash Flood of Colour. Ignoring the cliched boy-meets-girl themes favored by most of their emo contemporaries, its 11 tracks continue to pursue the sociopolitical approach they first explored on 2009 predecessor Common Dreads, in a venomous and often brutal manner which often recalls Rage Against the Machine at their most explosive. Indeed, the ranting diatribe which kick-starts the unsettling techno of "Gandhi, Mate, Gandhi," could be mistaken for some kind of Occupy London protest speech, while the likes of "Meltdown," which compares Britain's economic situation to an eroded cliff-top house, is indicative of Reynolds' fondness for heavy-handed metaphors. This rebellious stance rarely transcends "Beginners Guide to Politics" territory, but then considering it's accompanied by such a hyperactive Wall of Sound, it's perhaps unsurprising that there's little room for subtlety. Produced by former Sikth guitarist Dan Weller, the album hardly sits still for one minute, lurching from demonic metal to industrial dubstep ("Arguing with Thermometers") from trippy electronica to blistering air guitar prog ("Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here") and from wobble-heavy drum'n'bass to rabble-rousing punk ("Sssnakepit") in an appropriately blatant disregard for convention. The footstomping acoustics of "Stalemate" and the twinkling post-rock of closer "Constellations" provide a brief respite from all the madness, while there are flashes of humor ("Yabba dabba do one son," in-studio banter, a random Louis Armstrong impression) scattered throughout which suggest they don't always take themselves so seriously. But for the most part, A Flash Flood of Colour revels in a unique, organized chaos, and while it's a demanding and often exhausting listen, it's a call to arms which the flagging U.K. guitar band scene could do with more of. ¯ Jon O'Brien

Grenade

 

Bruno Mars has already taken the UK by storm since releasing his debut single in September - he has headlined a sold out London show and supported friend and singer Travie McCoy on a string of UK and European dates. As well as this, his debut single 'Just The Way You Are' went straight to Number 1 in the UK charts and has now sold over 600,000 since its release and so far is the second highest selling single of the year – a feat that is hard to come by these days for new artists. All three singles combined, including the No. 1 smash hit 'Nothin on You' with B.o.B and 'Billionaire' with Travie McCoy have not only marked Bruno as a credible and versatile up-and-coming artist but have totalled over 1.3 million sales to date!

 

Having spent the past few years writing and co-writing songs for the likes of Flo Rida, Travie McCoy, Sugababes, Alexandra Burke and B.o.B, Bruno is now stepping out as an artist in his own right and if the success of Just The Way You Are is anything to go by...this Hawaiian native, now based in L.A, is set to take on the world. - HMV

Countdown

 

The world's biggest R&B superstar Beyonce is back with '4', her aptly titled fourth studio album. Speaking about the album, which she refers to as "musical gumbo" owing to its inspiration found in the variety of music genres she loves, Beyoncé reveals: "My fans will be so excited about my new album because I put my heart and soul into creating something that’s personal and honest."

 

4's collection of ballads, mid- and up-tempos is further enhanced on the deluxe edition by three additional new songs, three remixes, and an exclusive version of the 'Run The World (Girls)' music video. The new songs found exclusively on the deluxe edition are titled 'Lay Up Under Me,' 'Schoolin' Life,' and 'Dance For You.' The remixes, which feature DJ and producer Kaskade and legendary remix producers Redtop and Jochen Simms putting their spin on 'Run The World (Girls),' clock in at over 17 minutes. - HMV

Price Tag

 

"Stomp Stomp, I've arrived!" struts the opening lyric of Jessie J's debut single, 'Do It Like A Dude' – a heavy urban-pop tune set to juddering beats and laced with her own brand of ghetto-fabulous, sordid swagger.

 

The instantaneous skank-inducing debut has already picked up airplay from the likes of Twin B, 1Xtra and Mista Jam, Radio 1, with the white hot remix from man-of-the-moment and good pal Labrinth rocketing Jessie J straight to the top of the HypeMachine chart in under 24 hours - all an impressive 3 months ahead of release.

 

The 22-year old, Essex-born songwriter has penned tunes for the likes of Alicia Keys, toured with Chris Brown and notably wrote Miley Cyrus's Number One billboard smash 'Party In The USA!' While her multi-octave voice and self-made attitude has earned Jessie J the respect of music's glitterati; from Justin Timberlake commenting 'Who is the best singer? Jessie J!', to Cyndi Lauper pulling her on stage at Shepherds Bush to sing her legendary anthem 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' alongside her.

 

'Do It Like A Dude' is a ghetto chic, crotch-grabbing, urban-pop diamond amongst the rough which cements Jessie J's debut album firmly in place as one of the most anticipated releases of 2011.- HMV

Everytime I hear Gotye I think of Jean Paul Gaultier. It looks like it should be pronounced Gotya!

 

I assumed it was pronounced 'Got-yay', so when I heard Scott say 'Gaultier', I had no idea what he was about to play!

OMFG Adele, ha!

 

I assumed it was pronounced 'Got-yay', so when I heard Scott say 'Gaultier', I had no idea what he was about to play!

 

There is no accent on the E as far as I can tell making the change of sound at the end strange when looking at it.

Edited by Paramore

I should bloody hope this goes to #1 at some point. Top 10 of the year minimum, please.

I would like to see that happening but it's very unlikely.

On the other hand, it's great to see Somebody that I used to know at number 2 on german, austrian and irish iTunes. :dance:

'21' back at #1 :lol: 20th week at #1 + back at the top for the one-year anniversary of its release :D Would have been better if it was #1 last week as well so this was its 21st week at #1 but hey. I'm sure it'll get to at least a 21st week at some point in the future (in fact probably this week as there's once again f*** all out).
