Me too. I do hope that Radio 1 have made an edit for the song, otherwise Reggie will only play 10 seconds of it, like Lil Wayne 'Right Above It' and more recently Dappy 'I'm Coming (Tarzan Part 2)' :( Kanye West's 'Mercy' really deserved a place in the top 40 too. #82 is WAY TOO LOW for a song as brilliant as that.

 

Also Turn My Swag On by Greg Street/Keri Hilson/Soulja Boy suffered the same fate. :cry:

 

I've already heard Clique loads on Radio 1Xtra though, so they should have an edit of it. I don't think Greg Street or I'm Coming would've ever got played outside the chart show, which is probably why they never made an edit.

 

Radio 1 taking it off their playlist won't help - straight from the A-list too. Is the video out yet? If not, perhaps that could give it the boost it needs to get into the Top 40? And I don't think it has been official released yet, so the release of an digital EP or something should help unless it starts falling fast before then.

 

Yeah, it's got a video already.

From what I've heard of Guetta and Sia's new collab I love, obviosuly not as good as Titanium, but I can't see him ever topping that now. Is that his official new single? Play Hard is doing so well too :o

 

Ne-Yo is loving life right now :lol: doing well in the UK charts! Should have a successful album not like his last..

 

Very pleased to see Tulisa missing out on top 10 with her awful new song.

Yeah, She Wolf is the single, it's already been in rotation on Radio 1, Capital and probably some other stations for a couple of weeks now. I'm surprised it's only doing marginally better than Play Hard atm.

 

I don't think Ne-Yo's album will do well. Let Me Love You isn't really the sort of song that will sell an album tbh. I think he'll need a more unique 2nd single for album buyers to take much of an interest in him. But on the other hand, he's got potentially 3 top 40 hits this week. He's the new Rihanna!! :lol:

 

Aside from Earthquake, Labrinth didn't really have a huge era, huh? Treatment is bombing, Express Yourself only stuck around for so long because it was 59p for an age, Last Time was a bit of a non-event, and Let The Sun Shine is just a forgotten minor hit. Such a shame.

 

I think he's done fine. In the space of 2 years he went from almost unknown to one of the biggest names in UK music. Because of Pass Out's success, he got a record deal with Syco, allowing him to release a solo album which produced 4 big chart hits so far, and now he's even got his own label, and he's starting to get international recognition, like he managed to get Snoop Dogg on the Pass Out remix, and Busta Rhymes on the Earthquake remix.

 

Just look at the positives. It's not a shame imo, he's done an amazing amount in just two years, and hopefully he can continue to have more success like this in the future.

:lol: I know thats what I was thinking, doing a Rihanna right now.

Yeah Let Me Love You definitely isnt an album seller kind of song, but with a strong second single who knows, public are obviously interested...Turn Around, Play Hard and LMLY all doing really well!

He should take notes from Emeli Sande, Lana Del Rey, Adele, etc. who sell lots of albums. I hope his 2nd single is something more like his songs Mad, Because of You, etc. It would probably not do as well in the singles chart though.

I agree, all this will help him lots with the second era as there will be more hype due to this increasing recognition. I could see him doing better in the States if his next era is a hit in the UK.

Labrinth submitted some songs for Rihanna's new album, so hopefully they picked some of them. Fazer did a reggae song for it too (well, I think most of the music industry does :lol:). A few UK producers have managed to have songs on Rihanna albums before (like Calvin Harris (twice), Chase & Status (four times) and Alex Da Kid (twice)), so fingers crossed. That would be huge for them to get a song on her album.

I actually LOVED all four girls last year. Janet >>>> Sophie >>>>>>>> Misha >>> Amelia

 

They all outranked the other contestants too. :P

 

I'd say:

 

Amelia >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sophie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Janet >>>>>> Misha

 

Top 5 last year for me:

 

1. Marcus Collins

2. Amelia Lily

 

3. Little Mix

 

 

 

4. James Michael

5. Sophie Habibis

 

It was so stupid that both Amelia and James were kicked out on the first week. But the situation redeemed itself when Amelia, LM and Marcus finished top 3. The first time ever in the shows history where I had more than one favourite in the final - let alone three.

The EP was released on Sunday.

Kanye West, Jay Z & Big Sean - Clique :up: #16, this looks like it will definitly make the top 40 on Sunday, it should even make the Friday chart update.

 

 

Gangnam Style up to #29. UK top 40 this sunday? :unsure:
50 Labrinth/ Treatment Doesn't look he will make the Top40 will he?

 

Saturated market - when there are too many songs of a similar style around at once, some inevitably miss out.

Six of the 11-17 section are new releases :o

11. She Wolf (Falling to Pieces) [feat. Sia] - David Guetta

12. Play Hard (feat. Ne-Yo & Akon) - David Guetta

13. Under the Sun - Cheryl

14. I Will Wait - Mumford & Sons

15. Live It Up (Album Mix) - Tulisa

16. Runaways - The Killers

17. Clique - Kanye West, JAY Z & Big Sean

Gangnam Style up to #29. UK top 40 this sunday? :unsure:

 

it has a chance.

 

It's #1 in Canada. #4 in the USA.

 

All because of a viral MV. Amazing.

That's great!! Hopefully we can keep this up every week. :D

 

Now Taylor Swift up to #4 (maybe she can climb to #1) and David Guetta up to #10.

Labrinths done well enough - his albums soild 120k only though - hopefully it can sell near 150k with airplay for treatment. The album is really good though a little short!!

Gerry and the Pacemakers top 60 again :wub: also the XX are no27 combined, The Script well ahead of amelia!!

 

Taylor Swift up to no4!!

I think we find out soon, in a few hours. Probably be Amelia still I think.
