Fun feat. Janelle Monae - We Are Young

 

 

I must admit its a grower, there is no release date for it yet. It might follow Gotye's lead with 2 weeks plus at #1

I agree this could well be a future #1 - I really like it!

I might be completely wrong but my gut feeling is that Labrinth's new single is going to be massive. Judging from my above predictions, I have 'Last Time' down as #1 for four weeks. Even if JLS do outsell Labrinth in their first week of release, JLS will tail off really quickly whilst 'Last Time' will most likely climb to no. 1 the following week and stick around a lot longer.

 

That said, I've completely forgotton about Nicki Minaj 'Starships' which could easily end up #1 when the music video is released. I think I'll have to adjust my predictions accordingly. :o

 

If Labrinth stays at #1 for 4 weeks, that be great its beginning to grow on me actually, maybe 3 weeks after JLS as I can't predict that week. Hopefully the Fun track gets a release date after that as it got potential to stay at #1 for a few weeks, that should slow down the weekly #1s. Not sure about Katy Perry yet, just a case if the fake versions of the track will have some effect on her final position.

I can't see JLS going to #1 with 'Proud'. They missed #1 last year with an X-Factor performance and their last single flopped. Plus if The Saturdays, The Wanted and Robbie Williams failed to go to #1 with their Relief efforts I can't see JLS doing any better.
Is your peaks for the OA/OS songs your overall peak or just for that week. This week taio cruz is out but the week that the airplay etc will peak will be in april!!

Will be interesting to look back at this after a few weeks to see who predicted what.

 

Think Labrinth should pull the release date ahead a week to almost garuntee a number one.

 

I can't see JLS going to #1 with 'Proud'. They missed #1 last year with an X-Factor performance and their last single flopped. Plus if The Saturdays, The Wanted and Robbie Williams failed to go to #1 with their Relief efforts I can't see JLS doing any better.

 

The latter isn't really comparable since it was already on his album. The point about "Gold Forever" is true but I think JLS have a bigger presence amongst those likely to buy a Sport/Comic Relief single than The Wanted did this time last year.

I don't think Hangover, 212, iLL Manors or Traveller's Chant will peak on release week. Even Climax, Girl Gone Wild and Talk That Talk I think could climb to a higher peak.

Charlie Brown and Give Me All Your Luvin' have already peaked, I presume.

So it has a chance of the top spot then!

 

I see Climax by Usher is out on the 18th March - a bit like his last lead single its not exactly OA/OS but being released early by the label - probably round the time the video gets released - makes sense!

Having just heard the plan b track on radio one i have edited mine - There is no way that track isnt going to be HUGE!!!

I just heard the new Plan B track :( not really feeling it, but it is sending a political message here are the lyrics. Its going to be interesting where the track will chart.

 

VERSE 1

 

Let's all go on an urban safari

we might see some illegal migrants

Oi look there's a chav

that means council housed and violent

He's got a hoodie on give him a hug

on second thoughts don't you don't wanna get mugged

Oh shit too late that was kinda dumb

whose idea was that...stupid...

He's got some front, ain't we all

be the joker, play the fool

What's politics, ain't it all

smoke and mirrors, April fools

All year round, all in all

just another brick in the wall

Get away with murder in the schools

use four letter swear words coz we're cool

We're all drinkers, drug takers

every single one of us buns the herb

Keep on believing what you read in the papers

council estate kids, scum of the earth

Think you know how life on a council estate is

from everything you've ever read about it or heard

Well it's all true, so stay where you're safest

there's no need to step foot out the 'burbs

Truth is here, we're all disturbed

we cheat and lie its so absurd

Feed the fear that's what we've learned

Fuel the fire

Let it burn.

 

CHORUS

 

Oi! I said Oi!

What you looking at you little rich boy!

We're poor 'round here, run home and lock your door

don't come 'round here no more, you could get robbed for

Real (yeah) because my manors ill

 

My manors ill

For real

Yeah you know my manors ill, my manors ill!

 

VERSE 2

 

You could get lost in this concrete jungle

new builds keep springing up outta nowhere

Take the wrong turn down a one way junction

find yourself in the hood nobody goes there

We got an Eco-friendly government

they preserve our natural habitat

Built an entire Olympic village

around where we live without pulling down any flats

Give us free money and we don't pay any tax

NHS healthcare, yes please many thanks

People get stabbed round here there's many shanks

nice knowing someone's got our backs when we get attacked

Don't bloody give me that

I'll lose my temper

Who closed down the community centre?

I kill time there used to be a member

what will I do now 'til September?

Schools out, rules out, get your bloody tools out

London's burning, I predict a riot

Fall in fall out

who knows what it's all about

What did that chief say? Something bout the kaisers

Kids on the street no they never miss a beat

never miss a cheap thrill when it comes their way

Let's go looting

no not Luton

the high street's closer cover your face

And if we see any rich kids on the way we'll make 'em wish they stayed inside

there's a charge for congestion, everybody's gotta pay

do what Boris does... rob them blind

 

CHROUS

 

Oi! I said Oi!

What you looking at you little rich boy?

We're poor 'round here, run home and lock your door!

Don't come 'round here no more, you could get robbed for

real (yeah) because my manors ill

 

My manors ill

For real

Yeah you know my manors ill , my manors ill!

 

MIDDLE 8

 

We've had it with you politicians

you bloody rich kids never listen

There's no such thing as broken Britain

we're just bloody broke in Britain

What needs fixing is the system

not shop windows down in Brixton

Riots on the television

you can't put us all in prison!

 

CHORUS

 

Oi! I said Oi!

What you looking at you little rich boy?

We're poor round here, run home and lock your door!

Don't come round here no more, you could get robbed for

real (yeah) because my manors ill

 

My manors ill

For real

Yeah you know my manors ill , my manors ill!

<snip>

 

I've never been keen on political songs, so I probably wouldn't have liked it, even if hadn't been by Plan B. :mellow:

I think its really different and definately sounds like a massive hit

Different yes, I give full credit to the guy to write those lyrics, I was expecting something with a beat. Oh well... just have to wait and see what happens.

I think Alexandra will get to number one but it wont sell a lot in the long run due to its poor airplay etc. I think people underestimate her fanbase for the first week of release.

 

JLS will definately get to number one and probably wont stay around for long either.

 

I think most of the upcoming releases are pretty poor :(

How so? I used it how I intended.

If Alexandra gets to number one with 'Elephant' i will leave the country. And this is coming from someone who bought her last album.com :)
