What a hit Somebody That I Used To Know has been, HUGE! :wub:

I wouldn't be surprised if Gotye was still in the top 40 at Christmas :lol: Well deserved though, it still is a great song. To think that we all gave up hope for it when it "flopped in at #97" :P Should easily overtake Someone Like You one day.

Should easily overtake Someone Like You one day.

 

Doubt it, but they'll be up there together! I wonder how close they are now..

+ Gotye's album hasnt done too well...Adele's 21 on the other hand :lol:

 

Where Have You Been has done so well, and doesnt look like its going anywhere any time soon.

:huh: Does anyone think Gotye sings really like Peter Gabriel. He looks like a hippy turtle though.

I wanted this to be massive originally, but now that i'm incredibly bored of it, i'm glad it 'only' peaked at #6.

This was played last night when I actually went out. Sounded ace as did Starships!

Oh stop with the insults. Grief.

 

Gotye sings like Sting actually.

Dropping out of the top 40 this week:

 

26 Flo Rida feat. Sia - Wild Ones

32 DJ Fresh feat. Dizzee Rascal - The Power

34 Blur - Under The Westway

35 Dappy - I'm Coming (Tarzan Part 2)

37 Tulisa - Young

39 Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay - 212

:o 6.6.6 peak position for WHYB :angel:

WHYB has done well for an single off an album that has sold as much as TTT has.

I thought that as well - but it was actually co-written by Bruno Mars and co-produced by The Smeezingtons. Odd as it sounds nothing like a typical Smeezingtons/Bruno Mars song to me!

 

They also produced songs like Get Sexy by the Sugababes and Right Round by Flo Rida (I think). But yeah, it does seem strange. Why can't Bruno do songs like that for his own albums? :lol:

 

I'm still so glad that Where Have You Been missed the top 5. The hype around that song was so undeserved.

Dont see Sting at all. Gabriel definetely.

I think I know where the member is coming from, when I first heard the song, it could easily pass as a Peter Gabirel/Sting track

Dont see Sting at all. Gabriel definetely.

Nah, I thought of Sting the first time I heard it.

 

Mind you, I don't know much Peter Gabriel outside of Sledgehammer.

I have no words for Drive By's success. :lol:

 

It's been a surprise hit imo. I always thought it would be one of those songs that's big in the US but doesn't do much in the UK, but it's possible been even bigger here than there! :o
