I really like I Can Only Imagine. Best single this era for Guetta after Titanium and Turn Me On. One of the few songs of Lil Wayne's that I like (actually really love his bits where as most songs I just tolerate his bits).

 

Starships!! :cheer: Still such a tune!

Oh god Train. Time to mute the radio. :puke2:

About time this was out of the top 20!

 

And time for me to turn it off mute, this song is pretty good - I prefer Hey Soul Sister though.

I don't understand why 'Drive By' has done so well, it's painfully dull.

Radio muted while this is one, I cannot stand this song or any of Nicki Minaj's.

 

I've just naturally learned to phaze Starships out whenever it comes on the radio (and thankfully that's the only place I ever hear it).

 

Drive By's success is truly incredible since it hasn't been playlisted by either Radio 1 or Capital, and Train aren't exactly big media figures!! :o

The dullness is the clue. MOR can do incredibly well with lots of radio support.

I was expecting that hymn that Emeli Sande sang to make top 40 aswell. :( Oh well. Emeli must love the Olympics, it's promoted her and her songs so much. :lol:

Gutted Arctic Monkeys just missed top 20. I miss they days they could get no.1s.

I've just naturally learned to phaze Starships out whenever it comes on the radio (and thankfully that's the only place I ever hear it).

I hate how radios (not just in the UK, everywehre) overplay to death some songs. There are some, initially I liked but after hearing it for the 700th time in the radio, I need to vomit. And they still keep on playing it :(

Although I have been avoiding the Olympics and didn't watch the ceremony, this is good, I prefer the original though!

Ooh, 'Come Together' did outpeak 'R U Mine?' in the end! Good cover. Shame it just missed the top 20 but still their highest peak since 'Crying Lightning'. Hopefully the same won't happen with Underworld and the top 10...

This is a really good cover imo. Shame it missed the top 20 :(

Shame this couldn't make top 20 but at least this year has shown their chart presence is fully intact.

aww, would've been nice to see them get another top 20 hit, at the very least :( great cover, they were certainly better on the night than the man who sang it originally!
