213. Somebody That I Used To Know - Somebody That I Used to Know

 

Why do people download a fake version, if the original is there and easier to find/download? :wacko:

Whos Wilson Phillips?!

 

An American female vocal trio from the early 1990s. Made a few pleasant pop songs. "Hold On" and "You're In Love" spring to mind.

 

I believe two of them were related to Brian Wilson (ex-Beach Boys) and the other to a former member of Mamas & Papas.

Maybe they've listened to the preview and actually think it's a better version of the song? That would certainly apply to me in relation to "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)" for instance.

Cher Lloyd just performed on This Morning, her EP is at #65, album version at #38 and no other version is top 100. Wonder where it will peak, may be an idea to reduce to 59p like OneD did..

 

Love how well Sia is doing #4 with Wild Ones and #5 with Titanium. :dance:

Wow, i didn't know Matt C was releasing a version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. I may have to download it, as i can remember he did it incredibly on XFactor.

I agree, this needs to be reduced to 59p.

I think in Gotye's case, people search the song title and it comes up with both the Gotye version and the fake above, but perhaps people thing that Gotye's version is the fake given that his name isn't a standard English/American sounding name.

Sorry Eric I think youve misunderstood my arguement here,im not arguing that its the only reason for chart sucess just that its a major reason. Songs with heavy video play 'nearly' always rise up the chart. I think it is more important than radio play but both together lead to a higher and more stable chart run. There's loads of radio 2 songs that are high up the airplay chart but dont chart that highly - currently Bruce Springsteens song is a good example!

Whilst that may be true, the converse is that every song that is high in the charts (other than fanbase buys) nearly always has substantial radio play to go along with it.

 

I think Radio play is more important than video play, although clearly both are contributory factors.

Looks like Emeli will be taking the iTunes #1 spot shortly, she's been steadily increasing on Gotye in the last 24 hours.

:lol: HA, some people might not get that.

 

 

Call Me Maybe has been top 5 or so on Candian iTunes for MONTHS, I guess there's some hype carrying from there :lol: What with Alyssa and now Carley, it seems maybe we'll be picking up a few random Canadian hits this year :P

Fingers crossed Justin Bieber has a massive hit single to continue the streak. ;)

On a little tangent here, but it's strange that Justin Bieber is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but he does so badly in the charts (his albums do really well in the US though). He gets practically no radio/TV support in the UK anymore though (probably for a similar reason to Cher Lloyd, because he has a controversial personality), but still.

Will do, I wonder if she has a video out on music channels.

I hope the Gym Class Heroes keep climbing.

Yeah, I know what you mean there. :P He's only had 2 Top 10 hits, right? Baby and Eenie Meenie.
