This has to be one of the most uncommercial tracks playlisted on Radio 1 this year, surely?

 

I think the various screamy rock bands they playlist regularly are a bit more uncommercial than Greyhound!

Greyhound is by far my favourite song in the chart right now. :D :wub:

 

It still is. :wub:

Mama Do The Hump back in the top 20 with the Now! 81 boost :D Still loving this.

I saw a clip of the MDTH video on Keith Lemon's Lemonaid (wasn't watching this voluntarily :P ), and my dad thought the woman in it was Janet Street-Porter. :lol:

Regarding Irreplaceable/In My Place, they were definitely counted as re-entries - live versions never chart separately, at least not any more.

Formed in 2001 in Dublin, Ireland, the Script consists of guitarist Marc Sheehan, vocalist Danny O'Donoghue, and drummer Glen Power. The trio takes their soulful, Celtic-inspired sound from artists like Van Morrison and U2, but Sheehan and O'Donoghue's former work as producers (working with the likes of the Neptunes) gives the Script a unique, contemporary sound flavoured by dance and R&B influences. An EP appeared in 2007, followed by the successful single "We Cry." The band's self-titled full-length debut appeared in 2008, and went straight to the top of the U.K. charts. - HMV

2010 04 For The First Time

2012 42 Nothing

Breakeven needs to come back - lovely song.

To think this was out the same time as 'I Kissed A Girl' by Katy Perry... :o This has managed to stay fresh for me. 'The Man That Can't Be Moved' and 'Nothing' are a couple of great songs.

Crazy how much this has climbed after one performance, its not like its never re-entered before? :lol: nice to see it back anyway, fast on its way to modern classic status

Absolutely FANTASTIC to see this back and back in the top 20 :wub: One of my (many) favourite songs of all time.

I agree, it sounds a lot fresher than some of the songs in the chart that came out around the time it was released. :P :D

Coma time.

Breakeven needs to come back - lovely song.

Agreed, I do love The Man Who Can't Be Moved but that had it's time, I know Breakeven stuck around and sold a bit but the peak is criminal for such an amazing song, I hope someone sings it on The Voice as it could easily beat #21 in that case I think!

I don't see why everyone hates this song, it's a beautiful song. :wub:

 

Surely it must have grown on some of you? It's certainly grown on me. :D

I did that for my Voice audition, shame I didn't make it onto TV :lol:

I really do like this song.

 

I won't download it though because I know I'll get bored of it quickly that way.

I remember when Jason Mraz was fun and exciting then I'm Yours came... this is a wgwg song of the blandest degree.

I don't see why everyone hates this song, it's a beautiful song. :wub:

 

Surely it must have grown on some of you? It's certainly grown on me! :D

 

I don't 'hate' it per se, it's just got to be THE most dull song of the 2010s so far. It's growing a TINY bit as I'm starting to get more familiar with it but still coma-inducingly bland.
