Apparently it's quite different to her usual style, Emeli Sande wrote it too so it should be great! Should be bigger than Collide (without hearing it of course), seems more of a risk and sounds like probably what people want from Leona.

I have been away on holiday, but have looked at the chart today.

 

Rita deserves to go to No.1, but I'm hoping she stays a second week to avoid the Bom Bom song.

 

The other thing is that I thought Queen and Jessie J was the highlight of the closing cermony (I watched on location) and it should be higher.

 

Other than that, everything is as expected, a very good week because of Rita and the end of the Olympics.

Did Emeli Sande reach #1 on iTunes with RAAI(P3) at any point since Monday? Haven't been around to see it but I'm pretty shocked it's done so well off the back of The Olympics

I'm not a huge Leona fan but I'll support her getting another hit if it gets Childish Gambino a hit! Shockingly good choice of featured artist, I'd have thought if she was gonna go down the 'featured rapper' route it'd be Pitbull or something. (It would help if it's a good song as well though :kink:)

 

No way, not Pitbull! Leona has taste. :kink:

Looking forward to hearing 'Trouble', sounds very dark, and the reviews of it from everyone i've seen so far says its a hit.

 

A lot of people probably havent heard of Childish Gambino but here's a live performance of Heartbeat...great rapper!

#2 has been it's peak so far. How We Do has a huge lead! Amazing how well it's doing though :wub:

Big fan of Childish Gambino's 'Heartbeat', so can't wait to hear the Leona collaboration. It's released October 7th, so not TOO long after the premiere date (21 August). We could/should hopefully get an X-Factor performance out of it too - though I can't see Glover turning up for the feature (although Flo Rida of all people turned up with Alexandra Burke).

When did Wings by Little Mix premiere? Friggin ridiculous how they haven't released it yet. I've never heard a song so much before its been actually released, it's like it has been everywhere for about 2 months. *_*

 

Even though I love the track I want it to debut big and then bomb down the charts within 2 weeks. Teach these crappy labels a lesson.

Just so anyone who cares is aware, Leona's new single 'Trouble' featuring Childish Gambino is premiering on Tuesday!

Um, where and at what time on Tuesday? :o

 

Have to say when I first saw the words Childish Gambino I thought "who" and what a ludicrous name (whatever play on words it is is simply lost on me) but ... having watched that link Karma posted I'm (despite thinking he looks like a cheap Cashley) pleasantly surprised. Has he had any hits of note?

The worst cases I can think of like this in recent years are We R Who We R and We No Speak Americano.

I remember Heartbeat going top 100 on iTunes a few months ago. It's a really good song, I think Radio 1 playlisted it aswell. A lot of people I know in real life hate him though.

Tulisa - Young was really bad, we had that for months before it came out I recall.

Why has Emeli Sande Read all about it climbed so much been away from here so I wouldnt know is it because of the Olympics ?

An X-Factor appearance on 6th October is already confirmed

Yeah she performed at the Olympics! :D

Releasing songs up to 8/9 weeks after the airplay began.

 

Are we all forgetting the song currently #1 on iTunes? :D

Thouroughly enjoying seeing Cheryl shimmy her way up the chart.

Paloma now #38 ^_^ hopefully they'll make it 59p next week.

How comes Paloma has seen such a climb? Singles and Album wise..has she done any promo that i've missed? I think I've seen a new ad for her album on TV recently, maybe it's that?

Cheryl up to #13 although I am not sure she'll stay there, isn't V Festival on tonight?

Pound The Alarm #8

 

Some Nights #24 :w00t: - weekend effect doesn't seem to be hurting it too much!!!

I didn't like Tulisa's performance on Alan Carr last night. There was something missing from it.

 

I don't see much change on the chart now that Pound the Alarm has kicked Kate Bush out of the top 10.
