Amazing #1 :wub: Such a good song, surprised at all the hate it seems to be getting, sure people would be loving this if Rihanna was behind it :lol:

That "hoover synth" Dizzee Rascal song that I heard is on Radio 1Xtra's playlist. It's called Guns N' Glory. http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/playlist/

 

I googled it - it's apparently just from a mixtape he contributed towards, so nothing to be too excited about. I am eager to hear new material from Dizzee Rascal though - although to be successful in 2012, he'll have to bring something new to the table - although a Summer-dance hit would do well.

 

'Twilight' at #1 isn't as bad as I'd thought - it's not THAT bad, certainly a lot better than Rizzle Kicks' 'Mama Do The Hump'. Hoping 'Titanium' can climb 02-01 next week though, just to further 2012's record of 'songs climbing to the top spot', and that besides 'Twilight' and 'Wild Ones', I don't really want anything else at the top - Gotye perhaps, but not for a week or two.

 

This is my favourite #1 of the year so far (yes, I know it's only January, but still :lol:). :heart:

Bless Amanda from Cover Drive, they deserve it, Twlight is great and brings a bit of summer into Janurary.

I would be hating it if Rihanna was behind it :lol:

That's so right! It's not that dissimilar to a lot of Rihanna's more urban tracks. Barbados for domination of music now please!

It also sounds similar to some Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo songs. I absolutely love this type of music anyway (see: my sig).

Ah, it's a mixtape song. It makes sense, as I did wonder why there wasn't more hype around it (Radio 1 would playlist anything Dizzee releases immediately tbh :lol:). At least Dizzee is still doing music though.

Congrats to both David Guetta and Sia, Titanium is now officially the highest peaking single from Nothing But The Beat :wub:

 

Also congrats to Cover Drive. I really like Twilight :D

Indeed, I was shocked at the initial 'not as good as Lick Ya Down' reactions to it in the pop thread, first time I listened to it I instantly thought 'wow, this is a huge smash in waiting', I was taken by it straight away :wub: Definitely didn't see it going to #1 though, I was thinking more #4! Still, it's better than Lick Ya Down in every way possible.

 

And it proves my theory that only US, UK and Barbadian acts can get #1 singles in the UK anymore :P Although it looks as if we might be on course for a French/Australian one next week, unless a Canadian gets in the way - either way, it's all good for the international quota!

I'm Canadian team next sunday. Go Alyssa! :wub:

Well, that was because it didn't seem to have any 'Imma flip the script, put you on my hitlist' lines at first. I should learn never to trust my initial reactions to a song, particularly if they aren't positive. Lick Ya Down is still wonderfully catchy. Twilight is a far better song as a whole though, and I'm glad it was their #1.

It reminds me of something Rihanna would've done in her 'Music Of The Sun' / 'A Girl Like Me' days when she had a bit of a more barbadian flavour to her music. A decent song, it just sounds a bit dated imo.

I just realised the album #1s so far this year have been symmetrical!
